Partisan Cat EXCHANGE,

Paris has a cat exchange, a "bourse
aux chats" This establishment is
situated in big chamber at the rear
of wine ship. Here are legions of
cats of all sizes and color, which are
to be seen jumping and heard ''miau-
lent"
1t is said that the customers are by
no means tender-hearted old ladies',
but for the most part furriers, glove
makers and cooks. A good sleek
''matou" realizes 21a to 20 cents. The
skin has number of usages.
and the flesh, according to the
story, finds its way into the stewpans
of certain restaurants possessing
more enterprise than scruple.

The lasso Game.

the ground. Then, at some distance
from the pole, arrange the company of
players in line.
The leader should start of on
run for the post, and, passing it at a
distance little less than the length
of his lasso, make a cast with the
moose. Following him in rapid sue
cession, the other players should
make their throws. When the line
reforms on the far side of the post,
those players who have encircled the
pole with their lassoes take a place
in the line ahead of those players who
have failed.
Again and again the line dashes for
the pole and the players try to lasso
it. The player who leads the line at
the end of certain number of
throws, at time agreed upon by the
rest of the company, wins the game
If it should be desired, the members
may do their lassoing while running
in circle around the post

In Pastel Cojors,

Plain materials are much easier of
construction than are those of striped.
barred and Powered material Per.
haps it is this that has made the deli
cate pastel-colored batiste favorite
with the home dressmaker.
The fact remains that many of the
more expensive sheer linen models in
these delicate tones are copied by the
amateur in the less expensive ba.
tiste.
A favored method of finishing the
oat1ste frock is the basting together
OF its various parts and the holding
OF them in place by very close and
even feather-stitching.

Advert Game,

One person must 60 out Of the
room while the others choose an ad-
verb, such as pleasantly, Grossly, slow.
" or haughtily. When he returns he
asks the company questions in turn,
which they must answer in the man
ner of the adverb they have chosen.
For instance, If they have chosen
"sweetly" for their adverb they must
put an extraordinary amount Of sweet.
ness into their replies, but If they
have chosen "snapptly". they must an:
swer in an equally disagreeable man
ner, or in spiritless way. The OBJ.
ject is for the person who asks the
questions to guess from the answer
what adverb has been chosen.

Rule FOR Fl and IL.

There have been times, no doubt,
when many of the boys and girls have
been puzzled about the proper use Of
believe, which have the long and 9
sound, nor need they feel ashamed to
acknowledge it, for many ''grown.ups"
confess to the same weakness. There
is a very simple rule, however, easily
borne in mind, that will help you for
ever to overcome this doubt. The con-
conants and should be followed by
eli, and all other consonants by lie, ex-
cept that in two words-"siege" and
'sieve"-the is followed by it. Is
not this an easy thing to remember?

FooIscap Paper,

Doubtless many Wide-Awakers who
have had occasion to write upon fools
cap at school have wondered why this
quality of paper is thus called. The
watermark gives the explanation, and
watermark, as every one knows, il
the makers trademark, visible in the
paper when a sheet is held up to the
light. The watermaEk of foolscap is
supposed to be figure of Britannia
supporting cap of liberty on a pole.
The resemblance of the cap of liberty
to ounces cap led to the common
use Of the name which the brand OF
paper now bears.

The effect thus produced by the
wearer of the mask is said to be ex-
tremely funny. He can at will force
the tongue and nose to stick out and
the other features to contract or re-
lax, the rubber hose through which
air is supplied connecting with his
mouth. In addition, he can manipu-
late the pupils of his eyes. The latter
are attached to string, which is op-
