A Guessing Contest.

This clever little stunt was the fin
ale at shower given for November
bride. A table was brought into the
room having on it a lot of things, each
one representing a cake; cards were

was had in the guessing. Here are
some of the objects, and a hostess
may enlarge the list as she desires: A
sponge (sponge cake), little toy hen
for layer cake" a chocolate lozenge
chocolate cake), two little Cupids

As to the Hessian Ely.

The Hessian fly is German product
which was conceived in iniquity and
born in sauerkraut. 1t is long, rangy
fly with bite like steel trap, and it
lays pale blue, oblong egg at the
rate OF 10000 an hour. The Hessian
fly Will eat anything from decayed
custard pie to glass inkwell. but its
favorite dish is the double neck of a
fat gent. This bird can perform a
two-step on sticky fy-paper without
crooking its toes, and is proof against
rough on rats, the daisy fly killer, and
a strychnine hypodermic. No Hessian
fly was ever known to die of anything
but old age, which accounts for the
color of its whiskers. If it ever fas-
tens upon your jowl, it will stay until
removed by the undertaker.-Man-

a Novel Shower.

A dozen girls who lived for years
as nefghborhood friends showered one
of their number, who is to be a De-
cember bride, in this unusual manner:
The hostess asked them all to meet
at her house informally at two
o'clock, the bride-elect was asked to
come at three. In this way the host
ess explained her scheme, which was
.as follows. She had material for each
one to make the following articles:
dusting cap, three busters, broom
bag, ironing holder laundry bag, kitch-
en- apron. clothespin bag, roller towel
and a case to wind linen doilies on
The entire cost was added and divided
equally and then each article was
wrapped in tissue paper, tied with rib
bon and hidden throughout the rooms
When the honored guest arrived, they
chatted awhile, then the hostess an
nounced that fairy godnother had
confided to her that there were pack
ages of value concealed within the
portals of the room, to be discovered
only by bride-elect and to the tune
of bridal music. Whereupon the host
ess sat down to the piano and played
wedding marches While the merry lit
tie bride hunted the hidden treasures,
guided by the loud or soft tones on
the piano. All the packages being dis
covered, they were opened and the
girls all set to work on which ever
piece they chose. They pronounced
this q utility shower" and it certain
ly was practical, for the guest of honor
said her mind was so in the clouds
that she had never even dreamed of
the articles presented Besides it was
a jolly afternoon. Refreshments were
English toasted mullins, orange mar
malade, preserved ginger and delicious
tea, brewed by the hostess.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee Hearth

The injurious action of Coffee on the
heart of many persons is we'll known
by physicians to be caused by caf-
feline. This is the drug found by chem
lists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
fee, as that was the principal cause
of the trouble. She writes:
my heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
l would never breathe again.
"The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said l must stop it, but it seemed |
could not give it up until l was down
in bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks 1 lay there and
suffered. Finally Husband brought
home some Postum and l quit coffee
and started new and right. Slowly
got well. Now l do not have any head.
aches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know it is Postum that
helped me. The DR.. said the other day,
I never thought you would be what
you are l used to weigh 80 pounds
and now I weigh 1853.
Postum has done much for me and
| would not go back to coffee again
for any money, for believe 1t would
kill me if l kept at it. Postum must
be we'll boiled according to directions

Mistake Somewhere.

A story comes from a Kentucky
town that is worth repeating. There
lives there woman who says that
she has immediate communion with
the Almighty, and now and then de-
livers to those of common clay a mes
sage that she has received from on
high. The fact that these messages
sometimes take on very materials
tic hue does not alter their effective
ness, in her opinion.
One day she went into the Office of
a well known attorney and approached
him solemnly as one about to reveal an
awe-inspiring secret.
'The Lord sent me to you for $685."
she announced.
The attorney looked up and smiled.
THAT must be a mistake" he re-
piled, blandly. because the Lord
knows | have not got it."
Celestial communication was there

HOW BLOCK SIGNALS WORK
Operation of Ingenious Systei, That
lnsures the Safety of Railroad
Passengers.

Comparatively few people know
just what is meant by block signals
when they read that railroad has es-
tablished the system on its lines.
The block is length of track which.
on double track roads, has at it's en-
trance a post and movable arm. and
on single track lines one at each end.
To say that iine has every inch
protected by this system means that
the entire line is divided into consec-
utive blocks. Only one line from Chi
cago to New York is thus protected,
and of the total in the United States.
one-third is on the Union and South
ern Pacific.
The operation of the block system
is simple but absolute. In few
words, it means that a train cannot
move from one block into the next
until the latter block is empty. AS a
train moves forward, the signal arm
is set to show that the block just left
may be entered by the next train
following. When a train enters
block it so affects the en-
ergy that is a part of sig
q mailing that the sema-
~ phore arm remains hori
