to visit this coast in such a manner.

Washington Is certain to do it's part

now be made to our neighboring states

POPULAR GAME OF "CUTTING''
Always Finds Favor With Boys and
Gris-SimpIe Prizes Given
to Winners.

A game of cutting" always finds
favor with boys and girls. Provide
each person with an old magazine,
a pair of scissors, small cup of
homemade paste and brush made
by folding a 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 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 an hour
all of the pictures should be placed
where they may be seen. Simple
prizes should be given to those ma
king the prettiest, the most comical
or the most original sheets.

Cambridge, Mass; about the same
time we find John and Thomas at ms
Wlch; another John and George at
Boston. In 1862 Nicholas at Salem,
Mass, and 1876 Jeffrey Manning in
New Jersey. The story of a forefa-
tner who ran away" should come in
right here, but details are lacking to
make the story complete, and where
ne ran from or what he ran for must
be left to the imagination.
Samuel of Billerica, Mass, grandson
OF William Of Cambridge. had become
founders of families in Connecticut.
Vermont and New York, and his
grandsons were Ohio pioneers.
In 1886 Thomas and John Manning.
born in England. were living in Vir-
g1nia. Stephen Mannering (not Man
ming, although this may have been the
correct spelling), in 1877 confessed
with others: eve have bin notorious
ly actors in We late horrid rebellion,
set on foot by Nathaniel Bacon" We
confess ourselves traitors, and will
never, no never, do SO again. is the
sum and substance of the confession,
although not exactly thus worded.
In Spotsylvania county, Virginia,
Andrew and James Manning were liv-
ing, about 1910, and in Princess Anne
county, Henry X. Manning. The fam
lily was prominent in South Carolina,
where there is town, Manning, in
Clarendon county. Thomas Manning
was one of the council of safety, S. c..
1775.
The family had its war record, and
one to be proud of. Representatives
are found in all colonial wars. Benja-
min, Daniel, David, Thomas and Sam
uel were among the number Diah,
(where did he pick up this name?) Of
Connecticut, was a drummer of Wash
ington's Life Guards. Lieut.. Law
renee Manning of the continental
army was father of Richard Irvine
Manning, Governor of South Carolina,
where he was born at Hickory Hill,
Clarendon county. Gov. Manning en-
tertained Lafayette upon his second
visit, and his wife is recorded as the
wife, sister, niece, aunt and mother,
and foster-mother of governor.
AS scholars the Mannings have few
equals, and many have been bright
and shining literary lights. The first
popular" history of England was
written by Robert Manning, in the
time of Edward Ill, whom he calls
Edward of Inglond."

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 firm and
steady hand should be employed,
while the top should be held in per-

be drawn with a steadily increasing

There are various kinds of peg-tops,
and they also vary in shape, some be-

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

books, he was monkeying with the
buzz-saw. At fifteen he had invented
and made a rotary engine. One day
the notion struck him that he'd like
to help Uncle Sam out in the navy.
So he took shot at the EXAMINATIONS
and scored hit, landing job as as
sistant engineer. Before he reported
for duty the Civil war had broken out.
He enlisted in the Twelfth New York
National Guard, re-enlisted later I'M

the high seas as an engineer on the
gunboats Muscoota and the Stars and

After Gettysburg was fought and
won, his thirst for more education
landed him in Union college, Two
years there were enough for him. The
magic of machinery called him away
from the academic life, and he found
happiness again by taking up his old
work in his fathers factory It was
while working there that he invented
the air brake Railroad managers who
first jeered at his idea of stopping a
train with wind had to eat humblel
crow. In short time the invention
was in universal use and had revo-,
lutionized railroading, as locomotives
could be constructed that would travel
at high rate of speed, so long as
they had that little lever in the cab,
which by a single turn of the en-
gineers wrists would bring the train
to a standstill in half It's length In
the United States all railroads are
compelled by law to use the device,

His first prominence in electricity
came with his purchase from Gaulard
& Gibbs of alternating electric cur
rent patents This was in 1885, and
he met great opposition from public
sentiment in trying to perfect and in
troduce this system for lighting and
power making. At the time Of the
Chicago worlds fair in 1893 he re-
ceived the contract for lighting by
making a bid Of $1,eo0,000 under
others. His shop in Pittsburg soon
became the place where electrical ex-
perts of the world gathered Tesla

houses financial and practical help in
developing the induction motor.
Westinghouse built the first ten
great dynamos for Niagara. He also
constructed the dynamos for the ele-
waited and subway lines in New York.

Originally head-fattening was prac-
