Announcing an Enqaaement.

"Polly' declared she must have
some unusual way of announcing her
engagement, so after much careful
thought this was evolved: The 20 spe-
cial friends were asked for a thimble
party, and there was nothing doing
until refreshments were served. Then
each guest found a little envelope on
the plate and the hostess explained
that inside there would he found
jumbled lot of letters, that the letters
of each color would spell one word,
and there was just one word in each
envelope and all were the same color
in each envelope, so each one made
their word, and the light gradually
dawned as the story was told by the
guests putting their words together.
1t was great fun and ended the after
noon in most happy manner. as the
little bride-elect was a great favorite,
and she was fairly beaming when all
began to offer ood wishes and wanted
to know "all about it,"
MADAME MERRI.

He Bit.

Ex-Police Commissioner Bingham OF
New York said of graft at recent
dinner:
"The CRATER isn't so easily caught;
he isn't quite so naive as an old fellow
they used to tell about in Andover.
This old fellow was suspected Of
tampering with the church collections.
A couple of clumsy traps that were
set for him failed to work. Then one
day young deacon walked past his
house leading a new horse.
That's fine horse, Deacon the
old fellow shouted. Did you buy him
at the fair?'
"'Yes,' said the deacon. Then, as
the other came nearer, he added:
"I bought him with my pickings
out of the collection plate
"The old man looked Mortified.
"'Good gracious' he said. I've
often taken enough myself to buy a
hat or pair of trousers; but. deacon.

True Representative of Race.

Dr. Bethmann-Hollweg may claim
this distinction, that he is the first
German chancellor to wear a beard.
Bismarck hastened to shave his off
when he entered upon diplomacy, and
showed his rivals and enemies a
massive jaw and clear-cut chin; and
he shaved to the end, with an inter
val enforced by neuralgia in the early
SOS. AS a soldier too Caprivi shaved,
all but his mustache, and SO did
Hohenlohe and Bulow. But Beth
mann-Hollweg is gaunt, rugged, hir-
suite, pan-GeTmanic.

When 70 Send Children to Europe.

Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are humiliated by others
who have already been there. Every
selfrespecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk we'll and speak few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
time for the first night at the opera
Judges Library.

FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by
Dyspeptic.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep-
sia and can't eat the simplest ordinary
food without cauSing trouble, the food
question becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
My husbands health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything | could
get for him, it seemed.
He was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up in
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble
Tired of everything had been able
to get for him to eat, one day seeing
an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, /
got some and tried it for breakfast the
next morning.
1--WE all thought it was pretty good
although we had no idea of using it
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape
Nuts.
1t was the same next day and |
had to get it right along, because when
we would get to the table the question,
Have you any Grape-Nuts' was a reg
ular thing. So l began to buy it by
the dozen pkgs.
MY husbands health began to i'm
prove right along l sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something ]
thought he would like for change,
and still hear the same old question,
Have you any Grape-Nuts"
He got so well that for the last
Two sears he has hardly lost q day
from his work, and we are still using
Grape-Nuts." Read the book, "The
Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's
a reason"
Ever read the above letter? new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, aud full of human
interest.

Poverty and Consumption.

That poverty is friend to consump-
ton is demonstrated by some recent
German statistics, which show that of
10000 well-to-do persons 40 annually
die of consumption; of the same num-
Der only moderately well-to-do, sc; of
the same number of really poor, II;
and of paupers, 81. According to John
Burns, the famous English labor lead
er. 80 per cent. of the consumptives in
their homes.

For a Gard Party.

At 900" party to which "a guests
were bidden, the hostess had these
refreshments: Nut sandwiches, lob
ster salad, coffee, ice cream and
small cakes. The sandwiches were
constructed of white bread cut ex-
actly the size of playing card. Red
hearts and diamonds were cut from
beats and stuck on the bread like
spots with butter. The ice cream
was a rich vanilla made in bricks and
sliced like card ornamented with
hearts and diamonds cut from
Maraschino cherries. The cakes rep
resented hearts, spades, clubs and dia-
monds cut with specially made tin
cutters. The place cards were tiny
packs of cards. gilt edged. They were
only an inch and half in length.

Definite Loc alton.

Every visitor at the new capitol at
Harrisburg, Pa, who gets as far as
the registration room, is expected to
write his name in big book, together
with his birthplace and present resi-.
dence, says the Troy Times. Not
long ago, when a crowd of excursion
lists visited the grounds and buildings,
stout girl started to register.
She paused, pen poised in air, and
called out to an elderly lady, COM
fortably seated in a big chair, Mon,

"Vat you want to know dat for?"
"Dis man wants to put it in der big
book"
"Ach," answered the mother, you

Will Seek the South Pole.

A. Henry Savage Landor, the Eng
lish explorer, who will soon make an
attempt to reach the south pole, Is Of
the opinion that Lieut.. Shackleton
failed through having a cumbersome
and unnecessarily large expedition.
Mr.. Landor's theory is that small
caravan of trusted and hardy men,
lightly equipped as in his expeditions
Landor's activity in aeronautic inves-
legations gives color to the rumor that
an airsh!p will be used by him in his
expedition.

Oriuin of Word "BibIe."

The word hible is derived from the
Latin name biblia, which was treated
as singular although it comes from
the Greek neuter plural, meaning "lit-
tie books" This Greek diminutive
was derived from byblus. or papyrus,
the famous material on which ancient
books were written. The title "Bible"
was first used about the middle of the
second Christian century in the So
called second epistle of Clement

"Maud Muller" Party.

During these golden October days,
outdoor and indoor parties combined
are quite the thing. A hostess noted
for her originality invited her friends
to a Maud Muller" party. The invi-
tations said: Informal; please come
in country costumes" AS she lived in
a suburb, time tables were inclosed
with the train marked that she wished
them to take. The hour was five, and
a merry throng took the four o'clock
train. An immense hay wogan was at
the station, with the splendid big
horses gayly decorated and driven by
the regular farm men instead of the
liveried coach and footman. There
were horns for the men, and the
hostess awaited them on the steps of
the port cochere. Big straw hats
were given to the men with red rib
bons and the girls had blue ones.
Rakes with gilt handles were given
the girls, who were thus attired as
Maud Mullers," and went forth to
rake the hay on this charming sum-
mer day which had gotten by mistake
into the fall calendar
The girl who made the largest stack
in ten minutes was awarded a prize;
also, there was a prize for the neat
est stack. The men superintended
this, and then plow was brought for
the men to try their skill, with prizes
Tor the straightest row, and for the
one made in the quickest time. BY
this time twilight was falling and
guests watched the chickens fed and
the COWS milked. Then all adjourned
to the dining room, where a suptuous
supper was served, everything except
the meats being a product Of the
place. The decorations were most
unique, being likewise home produc-
tions Gourds, small squashes and
pumpkins were converted into most
attractive flower holders, and the flow
ers were wild purple asters and gold
en- rod, the combination being most
happy one. At half-after eight the
hay wagon came to the door and a
drive of an hour was taken over the
hardest of country roads and then
back to the station in time for the ten
O'Clock train Afterwards in talking
1t over we all agreed that our host
ess was so successful because her en-
tertainments were so simple and she
so natural and unaffected. Not but
what she could and sometimes did en-
teri. formally and had plenty of
money to spend; yet her favorite way
was to do things on the spur of the
moment, and she always made use of
the things that were in season.
She also had the art of always as
sembling just the right people togeth-
er, and always remembered who hated
bridge" who didn't like golf and who
loathed to dress for a formal dinner
party. On the quiet, / think she keeps
a book with the peculiarities of each
one of her friends carefully iotted
down, just when she entertained them,
and just what she served on each oc-
casion. At least that is the way one
of the best entertainers ! ever knew
does and it is worth considering.

PADLOCKED REVOLVER.
Novel Sight for Man Unaccustomed
to Shooting Galleries.

From the New York Sun.
Maybe it was because. I don't GO
around much among shooting galleries
that the sight seemed strange to me.
said man, who commonly stays pretty
close at home. but in this gallery II GER
tainly did surprise me TO sec big re-
volver secured to the counter by pad
lock
They had a lot of rifles there. maea-
zine rifles these all lying with their muz-
zles toward the targets handily across the
board but that one big revolver was pad
locked down so that nobody could pick IT
up until it had been unlocked, | wonder
ed at that Were they afraid somebody
would carry il off?
THAT seemed scarcely likely. for 1t
was as big as a cannon. a A. and a man
would hardly try to slip gun like that
in his pocket with a gallery man stand
ing by. But pretty soon man wanted
to fire this big revolver. and when he
came to handle it I thought that perhaps
we would see the reason why il was kept
chained.
..The rifles were long enough so that
when YOU threw the muzzle of one up II
went above your head and above those OF
the bystanders: but big as II was the
revolver could still be thrown up TO a
point where by careless handling you
might shoot yourself or somebody else
with It. Maybe that was the reason
why they kept the big revolver chained.

to be unloaded when lying not In use,
but somebody who had used 1t might

Anyhow this big revolver when not in
