said a New York decorator, "were
opened to a few of us during our
summer convention at the South
Kensington museum.
"Among MI. Morgan's treasures

was splendidly bound, was Hop

was q chronology Of remarkable
events, and l copied a few OF these
events down. W. have none such

The decorator then read:
"1116-The moon seemed turned
into bloode.
"1128-Men wore haire like wo-
men.
"1233-Four sunnes appeared,
beside q true sunne, of q red COL

Game Of Shouting Proverbs.

This is rather a noisy game, but
none the less fun on that account.
One Of the company goes outside
tie door, and during his absence q
proycrb is chosen and a word of it
given to each member of the COM
pany. When the player who is out
side re-enters the room one OF the
company counts Zone, two, three"
then, altogether they shout out the
word that has been given to each
ore from the chosen proverb.
If there are more players present
than there are words in the proverb,
two or three persons must have the
same word. The effect of all the
company shouting out together is
very funny. All that is necessary
is for the guesser to have q sharp
cal. Then he is pretty sure to catch
a word here and there hat win give
him the key to the proverb.

A Famous Pianist's Work.

Paderewski frequently sits at his
instrument until well into the small
hours of the morning, says Tit-Bits;
hence he seldom rises until 8 or 10
a. M, and Immediately he is dressed
he gets to work. generally practic-
ing on the piano, but often compos-
ing. He keeps to his task until l
o'clock, and not a minute earlier
does he break his fast. By that
time, however, Iii: appetite is keen,
and the feeling that he has already
earned his breakfast helps to make
the hour Of his first meal by far the
most enjoyable of the day. The meal
itself never occupies long. He fol-
lows it with a quiet game of bill
lizards played against himself. He is
an enthusiastic devotee of the game.

Remedy For Hives.

A simple remedy for hives and
one which is usually very successful
is this: Every morning for three
mornings and Immediately upon ris-
ing take a cup of milk in which have
been stirred M tablespoonful of
bicarbonate of soda and a teaspoon
full of sulphur. For a child a tea
spoonful of the soda is sufficient,
and in either case the sulphur may
be dispensed with, as the main thing
is the alkali to n%eutralize the acid

Each guest is provided with q

plays two or three measures from

sition on the piano. Each guest
writes down what he thinks is the
name Of the piece. If the player
selects two or three measures from
the middle Of the composition, there
will be some difficulty and q great
deal Of amusement in determining
upon the name. About ten selec-
tons are played, allowing two min
utes for the writing of each name.
To the person having the great

given as a prize. A pair of dolls

Frozen BY hsat, k!sited by Cold.

In Germany, the land of scientific
c~uriositics, a substance has been
produced by chemical experiment
which seems to contradict the law
that heat melts and cold solidi6es.
The substance is called 'cryostaz'
and is formed by combining equal
quantities Of phenol, camphor and
saponine with a little t%urpentine.
When its temperature is lowered be-
low the point at which water freezes
it becomes liquid, but when it is

Tom Tiddlsr's Ground.

This is an old game, but may
come out new to some of our boys
and girls. A line is drawn to sepa-
rate sTom Tiddler's ground" from
the rest Of the playground or field.
Tom fiddler takes up his position
in this space and tries to touch any
n who intrudes upon it. Any
player he touches becomes q pris-
oner and must stand behind Tom
fiddler until a comrade comes to
rescue him. To release the prisoner
the, rescuer must touch him without
being previously touched by Tom.
If, however, rom touches the res
cuer first, he also becomes q pris-
oner. The whole spirit Of the game
lies in there being plenty Of invad-
ers and in the prisoners being res
cued quickly.
