round pastebOard box can be used n
a foundation for this. 1t is cover a
with white crepe paper and a big red
heart pasted in the centre. 1t adds
to the appearance If the edges of the
box are touched up with line OF gold
paint, as shown in our illustration.
For serving refreshments at a val
entine party there is nothing more
effective than heart and arrow ice
cream or charlotte russo boxes, and
the best thing about them is that they
can be so easily and quickly made.
Buy some rather thin bright-red
pasteboard at a stationery store. and
also sheet of white pasteboard.
Then get some of the ordinary pleated
paper cases that are used for char
lotte russo, BISCUIT glace, etc. An
arrow is cut out of the white paste
board, painted gold or covered with
gilt paper and pasted across the large
heart that has just been cut from the
red pasteboard. A circle is then cut
out of the heart, through arrow and
all, the ice cream box inserted in the
opening and held in place with little
paste.
The paper baskets can be even
more quickly made, the foundation
being the same sort of pleated paper
case: In making the red paper basket,
this is given handle formed Of
wire, with red crepe paper twisted
around it and a heart and arrow
pasted at the top. The paper itself
Is simply covered with a frill of red

What q Knot Is.

In referring to the speed of vessels
we speak of the number of knots
travelled. A knot is measure of
speed, not of distance, and the term
comes from the old method of finding
the speed of a vessel by means of a
three-cornered piece Of wood with a
weight attached to one side to hold 1t
upright in the water. To each corner
was fastened a cord and to the juno
tion of these cords was attached the
log line. This log and line with a
small sand glass completed the appa-
ratus for reckoning vessels speed.
The log when dropped into the water
remained where 1t fell. The log was
divided off by knots, the distance be.
tween the knots being the same frac.
tional part of a nautical mile as tn.
time measured by the sand glass was
of an hour. Therefore the number OF
knots which ran outin the time meas
ured by the sand glass was of an
hour. Therefore the number of knots
which ran out in the time measured
by the sand glass represented the
number of nautical miles an hour that
the vessel was running. For exam
pie, If six knots ran out during the
time, the vessels speed was said to
be six knots.-Scientific American.

For February festivities that take
place on or near the fourteenth of the
month, there are this year host of
charming novelties. The old-fash-
loned valentines are, of course, out of
date for everybody but children, yet
the sentiment of the day still fingers
In the hearts and darts and paste
board Cupids used on the new candy
boxes. What, for instance, could be
prettier remembrance for any young
man to give his "best girl" or even
young woman for whom he had no
particular regard but to whose family
he was indebted for invitations to
dinner or tea, dances or other func-
tions Of the season, than-one of these
candy-boxes? Two different styles
are shown on this page-one covered
with bright-red paper and decorated
with big bow of red ribbon, having
In the centre Cupid himself, with his
bow and arrows; the other simpler,
but Just as effective, covered with
white crepe paper and decorated with
gilt arrow pierced through two
hearts. If these boxes are wanted
for souvenirs at luncheons or parties
they can easily be made at home by
a clever girl, for the crepe paper is
very simple to manipulate. The heart
shaped pasteboard boxes can be
bought ready-made at most stationery
stores, and the hearts and arrows cut
out of red and gold paper respec.

Even easier to make Is the little

left-hand corner OF this group. Any

Of paste, and twist OF baby ribbon.
The white ice cream basket is made
In exactly the same way, with the
substitution Of white paper for red
and little pasteboard Cupid stuck
on the handle in place of the heart
and arrow. The favors for valen-
tine dance, children's party or cotil-
lion are simply fancy paper hearts
fastened on slender sticks, wound
with paper and decorated with ribbon
streamers. The candle shade makes
a most effective table decoration. 1t
is of white paper, decorated with
red hearts and gold arrows, and the
top and bottom of the shade are fin
ished with twists of the paper touched
up with gold paint.
st. Valentines Day was originally
the day dedicated to the incoming OF
spring. The Romans kept 1t in honor
of Pan and Juno, and the festival,
which lasted several days, was called
"Lupercalia. The early Christian
church, desiring to effect a change in
this much-abused feast, very adroitly
reconstructed the old practice of the
lottery of lovers names. In place OF
the names of real youths and maid
ems, whose appellations, written on
slips of paper, were drawn by the
young people of the time, the church
substituted the names Of the saints,
The idea had its own beauty, and the
notion of dedication was thus pre-
served in a more spiritual sense than
in the old Roman festival. This feast,
and not the existence of the real St.
Valentine, is the origin of the gallant

MASKED MANS
WORLDS WALK.
For a Wager, He Says, Of $780,.
600 Made by a Well kn,wn
American Millionaire.

In the face of northeast wind
man started from Trafalgar Square.
London, recently, on tour around
the world. The adventurer under
took the task for a wager of $780,
900, the details Of which he gave in
the course of an interview.
"This wager" he said, "was laid
by a friend Of mine, well known
American millionaire, as the outcome
Of an argument that took place at a
club in Pail Mall. He declared that
no Englishman could walk around
the world masked and pushing per-
ambulator. After hearing the con-
ditions I at once made up my mind
to accept the wager myself. Upon
telling him of the decision I had
come to, he at once made" arrange
ments with another we'll known
American gentleman to accompany
me. He is only doing 1t for sport"
The man was the object of much
curiosity and was followed through
the London streets by large crowd.
One of the conditions Of the wager Is
that he is not to reveal his identity
throughout the whole journey; there
fore he has concealed his visage in a
black mask
When asked how he was going to
subsist he replied:
II am starting penniless and shall
sell photographs and pamphlets while
on the journey. I am allowed to
expend any sum not exceeding 81
($5) for photographs and pamphlets
for sale at the start. That is how
I shall subsist.
A very difficult task is before the
walker. In order to win the wager
he has to touch every county in Eng
land, to visit Scotland, Ireland and
Wales and to call at twenty countries.
He Is to buy postage stamp at every
town passed through on his journey.
Among the other conditions of this
most remarkable wager are that he
is to find a wife on the road, to for
ward an account of the miles walked
and the towns visited, and to obtain
a signed document from the Mayor
or some other responsible person in
every town. He is to be allowed to
"go as you please"
"Good-by," the wayfarer called out
merrily as he disappeared; "see you
in ten years. London Correspond

IN RUE and trustful never doubling,

Often we go out together
For ramble far and wide
Catch the breezes
Fresh and strong
Down the mountain
Swept along
For we never mind the weather
When we two are side by side.
But my friend is sometimes quiet,
And I've caught his clear brown cyl

An Inglorious Wound.

On one of the Volunteer ranges in
the North is well-known old Irish
sergeant, who has charge. 1t may
be mentioned that he went through
three wars-the Crimean, the Indian
Mutiny and the Chinese-and during
the whole of that time never received
a single wound.
Old W, as he is called, occa-
sionally acts as marker at the tar
gets, and his utter recklessness has
become proverb.
He has been known to walk forth
from behind the mantelet without
the slightest warning, and touch up
a bull's-eye which did not quite en-
tirely satisfy him, or to note the ex-
act position of shot.
At all remonstrances he would
sniff contemptuously.
me be shot?" he would ask.
"Why, I've bin through three war-r-s,
and was niver shot yet. Pah!
Phwat's a bit o. lead flying through
the air?" and he would assume an air
or disgust.
1t actually occurred, however, at
last, and he was shot through the
shoulder.
For a moment, as frequently hap
pens with rifle shots, such is their
terrible force, he did not know he
was struck; then, when he observed
the blood streaming down his sleeve,
he commenced to walk down the
range, right in the line of fire.
It was seen that something was
wrong, and they hurried to meet
him. AS he did so he tottered and
had to be carried.
"Shot!" he groaned, with a look
81 shame. "Shot and by Saturday
afternoon oldier!"-Tit-Bits.

That Little Valentine Boy.

His other name is Cupid. That is
what the old Romans called him.
He had still another name given him
by the early Greeks, Eros. But what
ever he may be called, he is the same
jolly little sprite that you paint, draw
or paste on your valentines as the
love fairy.
He looks very harmless with his
chubby-baby cheeks and his loving
eyes. But look at him closely and
you will find in those eyes sparks of
mischief glinting through the love,
like points of mica in a quartz rock.

A Modern Custom.

Frequently 1t happens that the
modern valentine Is sent by men as an
expression of courtesy or to show ap-
probation Of social favors received.
For this purpose a pot Of growing
flowers, daintily bound volume, a
basket of glazed or tropical fruit or
bon-bons In elaborate receptacles of
satin, porcelain or crystal, are all
welcome tokens to most women, who
gracefully accept them In the same
spirit In which they were sent.

In Shakcspeare's Day.

In Shakespeare time there was
practice of greeting the person met
by saying, Good morning, tbs Val
entine's Day." and the one who made
the salutation first was entitled to
present. At this time the element OF
choice appears to have Joined forces
with chance, for it is written that
divers young persons contrived to ac-
cidentally see each other before they
saw anybody else on the morning OF
St. Valentines Day.

Some st. Valentine "DOn'tS,"

Remember that you want to enjoy
the St. Valentine party as well as
your guests; therefore observe these
rules:
Don't fret and worry every hour of
the preceding day until you are ner-
vous and sensitive to everything that
goes wrong.
Don't rush your games too close on
each others heels. Young people
like to talk.
Don't seem to be making an effort
to entertain them at every moment.
Suggest the games when the talking
grows a little less spirited.
