Fox. an Outdoor Game.

This is suitable for boys game and
is better played out of doors.
A space is marked out for the fox's
den. and the fox and the rest of the
players use their handkerchiefs-knot
ted at the end if they prefer-in at
tacking each other Fox, to show he is
ready to begin, shouts out, Twice five
are ten" The others call, Fox, fox,
come out Of your den." Fox comes out
hopping on one foot and trying to hit
any of the players on the back with
his handkerchief, they hitting him II
they can. II fox while hopping sue
ceeds in striking any player the one
hit becomes fox and is driven to his
den by the handkerchiefs of the 9TH
ers. After reaching the den he may
give warning and hop out as the 9th
er one did.
Should fox in his efforts to hit his
enemies lose his balance and use both
feet he is driven home under the blows
of the handkerchiefs.

The Game of Post Town.

This is an interesting game for chill
dren of nine or ten who know some
thing of geography and are familiar
with the names of places, One is
chosen postmaster. Each child takes
the name of any town she prefers. If
there are too many for the postmaster
to remember he writes down the
names and holds the list in his hand.
He then calls out, II am going to send
a letter from Richmond to Boston"
for instance. The children bearing
the names of the towns mentioned ex-
change seats. II they fail to do so
the one who does not respond pays a
forfeit Occasionally he exclaims,
General post" Then every one must
exchange places. If any one does not
secure a seat she must pay a forfeit,
and these are redeemed when the
game is over. Excitement is added If
long postal routes. including many cit
les. are named.

What's What In Hairdressinu.

The matter of hairdressing this sum-
mer. says an authority, as regards the
big shade hat or the motor hat re-
solves itself into the simple proposition
of trimming the face. The woman
who is able to trim her face with best
results will have achieved the greatest
triumph in hairdressing. AS for the
top Of the head, it doesn't show much.
and a simple bun surrounded with an
appropriate design In puffs or coils or
braids will do.
Hairdressing for the hat is divided
into three parts-the utility part, when
the hair is fastened where 1t ought to
be SO that there is something to build
upon; the artistic part. which is after
the hat is put on and the hair Is draped
to meet the knot at the back of the
head and secured firmly, and the gay
or picturesque part, when the little pin
curls are tucked In and the final fancy
pins are fixed in place.
Hairdressing as 1t should be done
takes time. You do it slowly and you
take infinite pains with it, but when
once 1t is done 1t is done for all day.
You don't have to keep repairing 1t.

Does the Sun Chance Shape?

One scientist, as the result OF much
study on his part of heliometer meas
urements, said to be confirmed by So
lar photographs, has made the remark
able suggestion that the sun periodi'
cally changes its figure, being some
times an oblate spheroid, like the
earth, with its equatorial diameter ex.
ceeding the polar, and sometimes a
probate spheroid, having a greater
polar than equatorial diameter.
His idea is that the solar globe is
to be regarded as a vibrating body,
having an equatorial diameter on the
average slightly in excess of the po-
lar, but changing at certain times so
that the ratio of the two diameters is
temporarily reversed. The period of
variability, it is thought is the same
as the sun-spot period. The changes
of figure, if they really occur, are so
small that only the most delicate OBJ
servations can make them manifest.

A Country Doctors Record.

DR.. James Morris, who was one Of
the Oldest medical practitioners in
Scotland. has just dieG at Dunferm-
line. When he celebrated his jubilee
as a doctor some ten years ago he

$4,000 patients, administered chloro-
form 10000 times with absolute i'm
munity from fatal results, had 5000
births 1000 consecutive cases with

Little Worlds.

The discovery of asteroids or minor
planets, continues to be made with
the aid afforded by celestial photo
graphy. Among a vast multitude of
stars crowding a Photographic plate,
one. perhaps, will be seen to have
drawn a short, thin line on the plate
during its hours of continuous ex-
posure. The astronomer knows at
once that it is either an asteroid or
a comet. Subsequent observations
soon decide the point. Only the
more interesting ones are afterward
observed with attention; but, once
discovered, they cannot be ignored,
and the rapid growth of the flock be-
comes an embarrassment. Eros, which
at times approaches the earth nearer
than any other regular member of the
solar system except the moon, and
Asteroid No. 56S, which at aphelion
is more distant than Jupiter, remain,
as far as their orbits are concerned,
the most interesting members of the
entire group, and are kept under con-
slant observation whenever circum-
stances permit.

Bad Headache :?

How your head throbs and snaps But
your head is not to blame. The trouble is
lower down. Your stomach is all out Of
order and your liver is sick. You know
you are onstipated--perhaps you have
neglected it for days The poisonous bile
is getting into your system. Your whole
body rebels. You feel sick all over, but
your head suffers most.
Don't fool or temporize with bilious
headache Don't take harmful drugs which
only deaden the pain. Start right. Begin
at the cause. Stimulate your liver and
bowels to proper action by taking Smiths
Pineapple and Butternut Pills. They are .
natural laxative and a corrective tonic
They purify and invigorate the blood
They enable the system to get rid of the
poison which is making all this disturb
ance. In few hours you will feel muck
better. In the morning life will be worth
living again. Keep this up for few days
and your headaches will disappear. Ply
sicians use and recommend. They form
no habit. You should always keep them
on hand. These little vegetable pills will
ward off many ills.

Wisa EIephants.

Elephants, those animal sages that
are constantly changing keepers, be-
come so wise and know so much about
the tricks of the trade and human ma
ture in general that they finally will
not work for any man. 1t is doubtful
if there is a bull elephant more than
fifty years old performing in this coun.

showmen say. but have learned too
much. picked up from their keepers.
and they cannot be worked with safe
ty. An elephant that is going to make
trouble turns his back on his intended
victim and begins to swing his great
body from side to side. Then in a
fash he wheels, catches the offender
with his trunk and hurls him perhaps
twenty feet away, following swiftly
to crush the life from his body with
his mighty knees.

TonsY TurNeY.

The plaintiff had been struck by an
automobile, which had hurried on
without stopping, but as he managed
to catch the number of the car he had
the owner summoned to court. The
defendant claimed that his car had

Forbidden Letter.

The idea of this game is to try how
many sentences can be spoken without
containing a certain letter which has
been agreed upon. Supposing, for in
stance, the letter "f'' is not to be in
troduced, the first player might ask,
'Is this a new game to your The
second player could answer: "Oh, no!
played it years ago. when quite a
youngster."
He would perhaps turn to the third
player and ask, you remember 1t, do
you notT The third player might an
swer, Eyes, but we used to play it
differently" This player, having used
a word with an "f'' in It, must pay a
forfeit and remain out
The answers must be given at once
without hesitation, and the player who
avoids for the greatest length Of time
using word containing the forbidden
letter wins the game.

Liquid Crystals.

When the discovery of liquid
crystals was announced some twenty
years ago, many men of science were
very sceptical on the subject, and
thought that some error must have
been made by the discoverer, Profes-
sor Lehman. 1t was pointed out that
the very name "liquid crystal was
self-contradictory. Later, the discov-
erer continued and extended the study
of these crystals, the genuineness of
which he seems to have established,
although the molecular structure of
the peculiar liquids experimental
with is not clearly understood. The
facts appear to be that certain chemi-
cal liquids at particular temperatures
exhibit the characteristic crystalline
properties of double refraction and
dichroism. But exceedingly small dis
turbing forces suffice to deform the
liquid crystals. owing to their slight
rigidity.

Some Bio Chain Cables.

Some of the biggest, if not the big
gest, chain cables in the world are
those made in South Wales for certain
new quadruple-screw turbine Allan
tic liners.
The iron bar used in making the
links is three and three-quarter inches
in diameter at the smallest part. Each
link is about twenty-five and quarter
inches long, and weighs about l6O
pounds.
When tested for strength, the
breaking stress of 265.7 tons required
by law, instead of fracturing these
gigantic links. simply elongated them
about one inch. With the highest
stress that the testing-machine could
give, about $40 tons, the links showed
no signs of cracks.

CARNATIONS IN ENGLAND.
There Were s55 Last Year--The
Number Steadily Increasing.

The movement in favor OF crema-
ton in England continue, to make
slow but steady progress, writes the
London correspondent OF the New
York Medical Journal. During 1909
the number of cremations carried out
in Great Britain was S55, an advance
of sixty as compared with 1908.
The first crematorium in England
was opened at Woking in 1885 and
the total number of cremations since
that time is S,121. There are now
altogether thirteen crematoria in
Great Britain and this number will
probably soon be increased. The Gre
nation Society of England has been
very active in its propaganda work
and public interest is slowly being
aroused.
Recently a cremation society was
formed in Edinburgh. The object of
the society is to promote the practice
of cremation and burial reform by
means of meetings, lectures and pub
lications or otherwise. There are al
ready about 1S0 members, including
many well known persons.

The Feet and Success,

The condition of the feet has a di-
rect influence over ones success in life.
Pain and discomfort make one irrita-
BILE, and people are apt to attribute the
irritability to a naturally bad temper.
Moreover, pain and discomfort distract
ones attention from business, be this
social or commercial. On every ac-
count it is of great Importance to have
the feet as easy as possible. These re-
marks are merely passing touches Of a
subject whose full treatment would
fill volume. And in regard to con-
sidering ways and means you must be
equally concise. One rule is to have
the feet sufficiently warm and pleas
antly cool. Another is to keep the feet
dry. not merely on account of possible
chills, but because moisture tends to
make soft corns and to so soften the
skin that friction may cause tender
ness. Footgear, including socks and
their substitutes, should be neither
tight nor loose, but should fit easily
Tight boots cause pain by pressure.
Loose boots occasion blisters and
corns by friction. The uppers must be
soft and pliable to accommodate them
selves to the altered shape of the feet
when standing, sitting. etc. The soles
should be pliable. When they are stiff
the feet are either lifted off the ground
without the foot soles being bent,
which is firing and makes the walk
hideous, or the feet are wearied by
the effort at each SteD to bend the boot
soles.

should be carefully rinsed with an an

wash is made by adding one or two
teaspoonfuls of listerine to a glassful
Of tepid water, but this must not be
used too constantly. Another good

pinch Of powdered camphor should be
put with the cream while it is melting,
or half a teaspoonful of tincture of
benzoin may be added.
Before this or any other cream is ap-

Following this, the head is to be bent
