POPULAR GAME OF "cUTTING"
Always Finds Favor With Boys and
Girls-SimpIe Prizes Given
to Winners.

A game of cutting" always finds
favor with boys and girls. Provide
each person with an old magazine,
Q pair Of scissors, small cup of
homemade paste and a brush made
by folding piece of paper many
times and then finely slashing one
end. Besides these things give to
each player several sheets of plain
paper a little larger than a magazine
page. Each person is to cut out any
picture or parts of pictures he chooses
and mount them on the plain paper to
make new pictures. After half ar hcu-
all Of the pictures should be placed
where they may be seen. o.mp.e
prizes should be given to those ma

CHARACTER SEEN IN PIPES
The Activity of Race Is Proportional
to Length of Stems OF
Their Pipes.

M. de VAUDEVILLE of Paris is a col
lector of pipes, and his study Of the
question has enabled him to judge peo-
pie by their pipes.
The pipe, he tells US, is characters
tic of the race. while the cigar and
cigarettes are cosmopolitan. The ac-
tivity of race is proportional to the
length of the stem of their pipes.
The shorter the pipes the more Ia
borious the people, and, inversely, the
longer the pipe the more slothful the
people The more economic the people
the shorter the pipe stem. and. in
versely, the more prodigal the race
the more gluttonous it is-the bigger
is the bowl of the pipe. His last de-
duction regarding the smoking Of
pipes is perhaps the most unassailable.
1t is:
THE main point In regard to pipes
is not to break them."-Tit-Bits.

MOUSE TRAP IS VERY USEFUL
Easily Made by Placing Piece oi
Stout Paper Over Top Of
EarthenWare Jar.

II you have no cat and find the mice
in your house getting altogether too
bold for comfort, or IL you would like
to keep some mice for pets, a home
made trap will catch them.
Over the top of an earthenware Jar
fasten a piece of writing paper, tight
ly binding 1t with a string or elastic
band In the center of the paper cut
a cross. Set the jar in the closet, and
suspend by string piece of cheese
over the center of the jar, and lean
something against the jar so that the
mice can reach the top. If there are
any mice in the closet the bait will
attract them. but just as soon as the
first mouse reaches the center of the
paper he will drop into the jar and
the paper will fly back into place
again, ready for the next conner. A
trap arranged in the same manner can
be used for the capture of field and
harvest mice, which make odd and
amusing pets.
A barrel covered with stiff brown
paper can be used for common rats,
but they will gnaw out unless the
barrel be partly filed with water.

string being left in the spinner's hand.
In spinning the top, care should be-
taken to wind the string firmly and
evenly on the peg, and when it is pull
ed out, neither too much nor too little
force should be used. and a firm and
steady hand should be employed,
while the top should be held in a per-
pendicular position. The string should
be drawn with a steadily increasing
force, or the top will not hum prop
erly
There are various kinds Of peg-tops,
and they also vary in shape, some be-
ing much rounder than others. Those
are the best which are shaped like a
pear. There is also great variety as
regards the shape and size of the peg,
which in some tops is short and thick.
in others long and tapering. Again,
tops are made of different kinds of
wood, some being made of deal, others
of elm, some of yew-tree and others
Of lockwood. These last are the Box
ers so highly priced. Some of the
very best tops are made Of lignum-
vitae, with long. handsome pegs.

are greater favorites than Kiku-
chrysanthemum. The flower is used,
of course, in decoration everywhere.
Every one knows, too, that it is the
imperial flower, aud appears not only
on the national flag. but on the stamps
and coins as well. 1t is true that the
decorative is a highly convention
allied chrysanthemum-as, indeed, the
representations of flowers used in
decoration generally are. But do not
for a moment think that the chrysan-
themum used in decoration is I'm
perial. The use of the Imperial
chrysanthemum is prohibited by law.
1t may be used on objects made for
the imperial family or on objects pre-
sented by them as tokens of aprecia-
ton. The Imperial chrysanthemum has
16 petaloids. If you will notice the
next decorative chrysanthemum you
see, you will find that it has any num-
Der of petaloids except 16; that num-
Der it must not have.
Apart from the displays of fine
plants in notable bloom. remarkable
for their character or quality, there
is a curious kind of chrysanthemum
show which is very popular. Perhaps
the best known Of these is Dangaza-
ka At Dangazaka there are four
chrysanthemum shows in competition
They occupy both sides of a street
which runs steeply downhill--two on
one side, two on the other. In front
of them are curious box platforms
scarcely more than yard square, and
mounted on posts which raise them
to a height Of three feet or more
above the ground. In each one oi

The three occasions of the fall
time for the Japanese are the mush-
room parties. the maple leaves and the
chrysanthemums. The mushroom is
commonly called 1.-The king of foods"
and minute distinctions are made be-
tween those of different flowers. Par
ties for gathering mushrooms occur
in every part of the empire, but there
are certain districts famous for their
plants; thus the neighborhood of Kio-
to yields a mushroom known every
season do not fail, in visiting Kioto, to
carry home a basketful of the much
priced delicacy. OF all mushrooms,
those which have grown under pine
trees and are said to have the deli
cate flavor of the pine are most
priced. The mushroom occurs con-
stantly In popular art. 1t Is common

The viewing of the maple leaves is
a favorite excuse for autumn picnics
among these people. The Japanese
maple trees are usually of small size
with very little leaves, deeply and
narrowly cut. The change in color is
gradual, from the natural green
through brownish purple into reds,
crimsons and brilliant orange. While
there are of course maple trees every.

coloring. Thus Nikko is famous for
its bright display. At this season

is a spieler whose noisy cries would
do credit to Coney island or a Pike
show. The din made by these fel-
lows is prodigious, as each one seems
to make special appeal to each and
every passer to patronize his show.
They hold out to the possible patron
a great handbill on which are repre-
sented in crude wood-cut pictures
some of the attractions to be expected
within. When lunch time comes, the
spielers do not quit their box plat
forms. but unconcernedly eat rice and
drink tea in the presence of all, stop
ping between sips and mouthfuls to
cry out their shows. Three forms of
attractions are usually presented:
First and most characteristic are the
flower figures; second, the trained
plant figures; third, the blooms. At
these shows the blooms really are the
last of the three points of interest.
The flower figures are usually of
the size of life. They consist of a
light framework made of an open
basketwork of withes These are sup
piled with heads, hands and feet of
modelled composition. The frame
work Is closely filled and covered with
moss, leaves, lichens and crysanthe-
mum blooms. The flowers generally
used are small and chiefly of three
colors-purple. white and yellow. The
foundation Of the clothing is usually
green or gray MOSES or ichens; the
embroidery and patterns on them are
In the colored flowers. These figures
are usually grouped In tableaux, which
have suitable background. The fig
ures themselves are so posed and
placed as to have considerable real
ism and lifelike appearance. In most
cases, nine out of ten at least, they
represent some scene from national
history. tradition or mythology. The
noted heroes of the past, beautiful
and famous ladies. the gods them
selves are those who here are shown.
The grouping and posturing recall and
picture some striking scene in the
famous stories of the race. To every
Japanese child. each of these groups
is an object lesson and instantly re-

leaves, however, are to attract our at
tention on this occasion. The third
of the autumn delights is the chrysan.
themum. Just now one sees chrysan-
themum everywhere. Plants are of.
fered for sale on every street, and
particularly in the morning one meets
great push carts filed with growing
and blossoming plants. On the whole,
the highest taste finds satisfaction in
pure whites and bright yellows; there
are, however, of course, any quantity
of other tints, most of which have
their admirers. The names given to
the different varieties are poetical
and often indicate quick apperception
and interesting association of ideas.
Flowers in which the outer coloring
differs from the inner color of the
petaloids usually call up damasks to
the Japanese mind. Personally, those
which best please us are the dark
maroon-purple-som verging al
most to black-and the damask-sug-
gesting flowers with outer tint of
golden yellow and inner of maroon. 1t
Is not only the larger plants with
enormous blooms that please, but
very many times the little fiowered
forms covered with blossoms not an
inch across are charming. In our
garden Cooksan set out two little
plants which we have watched with
wonder. One of them is a mass of
small flowers, not an inch across. of
sunny yellow. The other plant. scarce
ly a foot in height, has borne many
scores OF rich maroon blossoms scarce
ly three-quarters of an inch across.
Yesterday we saw the chrysan,
themums at Martha. The place Is IA
nous for its displays. and the show
was brilliant. The favorites appeared
to be flowers of snowy whiteness 21A
inches across, with narrow tattered
petaloids. The massing Of the plants
at such displays is striking. Thou
sands of plants are crowded closely to
gether so as to give a very sheet Of
bloom.
The pervading fondness for chrysan
themums Is indicated in many popular
fashions. Thus few names for women
