NEW CANDLE SHADES.
Umbrella Shaped Affairs of Dainty
cretonne Very Smart.

Very new and pretty candle shades
are made in the simplest possible way.
The frame is merely two wire circles
an umbrella shaped affair, with no an
giles whatever. The cover is circle Of
cretonne about six inches bigger in
diameter than is the frame. Around
the edge of this cretonne is sewed q
fringe of glass beads, which is heavy
enough to hold down the cover and to
cause it to fall in graceful folds. An
other circle is cut from the center of
the cover just the size to fit around the
frame. The cover is then fastened at
the inside circle to the frame by a
binding of gold braid. The mica shade,
of course, fits on the stand entirely in
dependent of the candle shade.
The great advantage of the shade
lies in the fact that, unlike most Of its
kind. it need not be fitted to the frame,
nor are there seams to be finished on
the underside. Bead fringe may be
bought by the yard. and wire frames
are extremely inexpensive.
Should handsomer shades than Gre
tonne be desired the cover may be Of
brocaded silk or a heavy silk of solid
light color. The fringe might then be
either gold or silver, while the braid
at the top would. of course, match it.

The Bats Sense of Touch.

It is said that the bat has a more
delicate sense Of touch than almost
any other animal. 1t flies about at
night with great swiftness, and. al
though its eyes are nearly sightless, 1T
seldom comes in contact with any OBJ
ject. This is due altogether to its
highly developed sense of touch.
Strange to say, this is confined to the
membrane with which it flies, its so
called wings. So delicate is its nerv-
Gus structure that it is acted on by
any object even at a considerable dis
tance, and the bat is thus warned of
its presence.

A man who saw on sign the words

brother or cousin or other more or
less distant relative of the sleeping
bag. such as explorers carry with
them, found upon inquiry that his i'm

The muff bed consists of a double
walled bag made in cylindrical or 9th

The making of muff beds is a bust

A MODERN MACAULAY.
Wonderful Memory CT an Old Time
Missouri Lawyer.

Wonderful Memory CT an Old Time
Missouri Lawyer.
One of the most picturesque of the
early lawyers of Missouri was Billy
Campbell, who came from Virginia in
1929 and opened an Office in St.
Charles. He was a man of great abil-
ity, classic scholar, an orator and a
political writer of unusual power. But
he was INDECENT, careless about collect
ing and spending money and so lazy
that physical exertion of any kind was
positively painful to him. He had a
most remarkable memory. as proved
by the following incident: Campbell.
who was Wing, represented his dis
trict in the state senate several years.
On one occasion he was lying on a
bench in the senate chamber, apparent
~ sleeping, when the Democratic mem
bers came in to hold a caucus. They at
tempted to arouse him, but he ap-
peared so sOundly asleep that they de-
cided to let him alone. The next day a
complete report of the proceedings Of
the caucus, including a verbatim copy
of the resolutions adopted, was pub
lished in the st. Louis Republican. A
row followed, and the secretary was
charged with having been bribed to re-
port the proceedings of the caucus.
After the excitement died down some
what Campbell admitted that he had
been awake all the time and that he
had done the reportorial work entirely
from memory.-Kansas City Star.

Wanted a Rebate.

In a rural community in one Of the
middle states dwelt man who made
a VOW in 1856 that he would wear his
hair and beard untrimmed until John
G. Fremont should be elected president
of the United States. He kept that
vow for forty years, at the end of
which time he had nearly half bushel
of hair on his head and face. Then,
coming to the conclusion, toward which
his mind had been gradually working
for long time, that General Fremonfs
death in the interval had practically
absolved him from his VOW, he decided
to have his hair cut and his beard
shaved off clean. On his next visit to
the county seat he went to a barber
shop and was soon relieved of the hir-
suite burden he had carried for four
decades.
GLOW much?" he asked.
''Have to charge you half dollar
for that job" said the barber, looking
at the mass that lay on the floor.
''Half a dollarp' he gasped. ''Don't /
get anything for the hair?'

TO MAKE BIG BUBBLES.
Mixture That Will Produce Globes of
Great Durability.

Mixture That Will Produce Globes Of
Great Durability.
This is the way to make big soap
bubbles. so tough that they roll about
over the carpet for ever so many min
utes before they think of breaking;
Into a pint of warm water shave a
piece of strong brown laundry soap
about an inch square. When this is
thoroughly dissolved, add a tablespoon
full of gum arabic and stir until melted.
Then a teaspoonful of glycerin is nee
essary and. lastly. a quart Of cold
water.
If the bubble makers are not very
strong and know how to keep the wa
ter out of their mouths, wonderful col
ored ones can be made by separating
this mixture into cups and adding a
pinch Of different colored dye to each.
For little people strawberry or currant
juice for pink bubbles and orange juice
for yellow are perhaps safer. The lye
in the soap plus the glycerin increases
the brilliancy of the bubbles, and the
gum gives them elasticity. Hot water
is necessary to dissolve the various in
gradients. but unless cold water is
added they expand and break too rap
idly in the blowing.-Good Housekeep-

Keeping a Straight Face Counts In
This Amusing Game.

Keeping Stral9nt : ace OountS IN
This Amusing Game.
Here is a good game for the boys
and girls to play. The players sit in a
row or circle, leader having been
chosen, who sits at the end of the
row or in the middle of the circle. He
begins the game by saying. Il have a
hen," and the second player repeats it
after him to his left hand neighbor.
who in turn repeats it to the player on
his left until it has gone the round.
when the last player turns to the play
er on his right and asks. HAS she
feathers?" This question goes all the
way back to the leader, who answers,
'She has feathers" This answer is
taken up by the second player until it
has gone around, when the last player
asks, "Can she walk?'
When this question reaches the lead
er he answers, "She can walk" and
then follow in due course the QueS-
ton, "How does she walk?" and the
answer, "Wiggledy-woggledy, -wiggle-
dy-woggledy." As the leader gives this
answer he initiates with his hands the
walk Of q chicken, and each player
does the same as he answers. The
next question is. "Can she crown fol-
lowed by the answer, "She can crow"
which must be accompanied in every
case by an imitation Of the crow Of a
rooster. The great object Of the game
is to have 1t played throughout with
out laughter. If any player laughs
while he is asking or answering a
question or If he makes any mis-
take in the words, he must pay a for
