AMUSING GAME OF SECRETARY
Variation of Consequences" but
More Personal and Therefore
More Interesting.

The game of secretary Is var1a-
tion on the old game of consequences,
but it is more personal and therefore
more interesting.
The players may be seated around
a table, provided with pencils and pa
per and directed by the leader or sec
retary, as he is called, to each one to
write his or her own name at the top
of the sheet and fold it over so as to
conceal it.
The secretary then collects the pa
pers and redistributes them, with the
order to write a character" The
players set to work to write, good or
bad, or they may take any one of their
companions as model. The more
extravagant the details the more fun.
Again the papers are taken up and
distributed, all being changed around,
and the writer's are told to describe
the past life of the unknown person
whose name is hidden at the top of
the page. Then follows the order to
describe the persons present, future,
fate or fortune-or any particulars
the secretary may think to ask for. At
last the papers are collected and read
aloud, and great is the amusement as
each one present is described.

AS the fly comes out of his she'll he

living and if your home is not clean he knows
It, for the fly can discern an unclean odor for
miles.
AS much as they like odors of filth they dislike
clean SMELLS and where the former will attract,
the latter will repulse them. A pleasant-smelling
substance-the fragrance of flowers, geraniums,
mignonette, lavender, any perfumery-will
drive them away.
Most of our diseases are caused by invisible
germs that lodge and grow in cur bodies destroy
ing our tissues or poisoning us with their ex-
creta These germs may be brought to us from
sick person by whatever is large enough to
carry them and has the opportunity. Combine
this fact with what every one knows about flies,
and we see at once the tremendous Importance
of flies carriers of human disease germs.
Look closely at the picture of the fly resting
the glass and viewed from below Look at the
feet and observe that each of them is equipped
with two claws and two ltght-colored pads. The
fly clings to rough surfaces by means Of the claws
and to smooth surfaces by d combined action of
the claws and pads. The fys pads are covered
with thousands of minute short hairs, sticky at
the end. There is no sucton--merely adhesion.
All his grown-up life the fly has to manage
with sticky feet. Imagine plight If the soles
Oh our Ieet were SUCKING piaster' perennlally re-
newing its sickness!
To such inconvenience the fly is constantly
subject and it is this that has bred into him the
habit OF frequently preening himself, particularly
his feet These constantly becoming clogged
with adhering substances, and this contamination
the fly must assiduously remove If his feet are to
act properly in supporting him slippery places.
If this contamination is too sticky to rub off the
fly laps it off, and it then passes off in his ex-
creta.
The fly lays her eggs in the manure pile or
other Objectionable filth. All the germs-all the
imaginable microbes-fasten themselves on the
spongy feet. He brings them into the house and
wipes them off. The fly you see walking over the
food you are about to eat is covered with filth

CHILDREN WITH SAME NAME
Three Small Youngsters PerpIexed at
Old Gentleman's Remark Until
He Explains.

There were, once three children
whose names were Elizabeth, Dorothy
and Theodore. They were sisters and
brother. One day an old gentleman
a friend Of their mother's-came to
see them and when he had asked their
names he said:
We'll, well; so you all have the
same name"
"Oh, no." explained Elizabeth, who
thought the old gentleman must be a
little deaf, T am Elizabeth, my sister
is Dorothy and my brother is Theo-
dore."
"And those names mean just the
same thing!" explained the old gentle
man. Theodore in Greek means gift
of God,' Dorothy is the same name
with the last syllable first and the first
syllable last. And Elizabeth means
gift of God in Hebrew. But you all
seem to be unusually nice children. I
think you quite deserve your names"

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 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.

A PrIncess' Prank.

Queen Maud of Norway has always
been the humorist of the royal family.
When younger she was very fond of a
practical joke. One Of her efforts in
this direction took place at a cattle
show in the immediate neighborhood
of Sandringham. Accompanied by the
prince of Wales and other members of
her family. Princess Maud, as she then
was, went toward pen where large
crowd had collected around one of the
kings prize bulls. Suddenly intense
commotion took place, for the animal
commenced to plunge and something
like stampede took place among the
onlookers. 1t transpired subsequently
that the princess had been prodding
the animal with her parasol.
