Tournament on Sea Horses.

Rumor has often told us of sea
horses, but with amused incredulity
we have always waved the tales aside.
Faith is, however, no longer called
upon, for in the water of Huntington
bay, on the north shore of Long is
land, actual sea horses are daily ca
pering in highly spectacular water
sports, even in quaint revival of the
ancient tournament. The strange
beasts have been brought to US from
France and are ingeniously composed
of barrel, weighted on one side
which is under water, and decorated
with an expressive head and an az
gressive tail. AS soon as one mounts
upon the Eotund back of one of these
beasts it shows it's temper. for, al
though tame and mild enough when
grazing among the waves by them
selves, they are f1ends incarnate as
soon as one attempts to throw a leg
over them. They kick and buck in a
manner which would appall Buffalo
Bill himself.
One of the daily features of the
beach at Huntington is tournament
in which armed knights, each astride
of prancing sea horse, face each
other for battle royal. The riders are
equipped with long lances, we'll wadded
at the end with "stufing." With there
the knights paddle their course to
each other, and then with lances
poised the battle begins.

kaiser's Insult to a Courtier.

An incident very reminiscent of
such pettiness was told to Tip the
other day by an American just re-
turned from Berlin. 1t seems one of
the Kaiser's suite, noble of high
rank, had incurred the imperial dis
pleasure. The Kaiser did not wish
to lose this gentleman's services, but
apparently desired to humiliate him
for the real or fancied offense. At
one of the state dinners shortly after
ward, the noble was seated half a
dozen places from his ruler. Beside
him sat a woman of title, whom he
had known from the time both could
walk. The two conversed animatedly.
Suddenly his imperial majesty leaned
forward and exclaimed in a harsh
voice: Prince, it is not etiquette to
flirt at my table," The man thus
addressed rose to his feet and bowed
low. The next day he resigned and
retired to his country estate, although
it is we'll known he received a per-
sonal letter Of apology from VIII
helm II.

Choose wine-glass of the conical

greatest diameter is a little larger

the glass now place a silver quarter,
and then, above it, your dollar, which

kind of lid upon it. You may then
safely announce to your assembled
friends that, without touching either
glass or coin, you have it in your
power to make the quarter of dol

have TO do is to breathe strongly on
the silver dollar; it will rotate, and
so assume vertical position, and at
the same instant the compressed
breath at the bottom of the glass will
cause the quarter to skip from it's

AZ a Buncher.

We is one of the most bothersome
words in the language. 1t is RESPONSE.
BILE for more misunderstanding than
any other ten words put together.
An editor will start out conscienti-
ously to give his opinions. He will
begin by saying I'VE think" meaning
himself. A latter later he will say
"we," meaning his advertisers. A few
lines farther down he will use the
word again, meaning the class of peo-
pie who read his paper.
Then his heart will soften and ex-
pand. He will become eloquent with
the use Of "we," meaning the whole
community or the entire human race.
Then suddenly he will bethink himself
and reflect that his is a party organ
and "we," the party, is paramount
after all. Whereupon he will divest
himself of opinions in which the peo-
pie at large have no interest. or at
least no profit
Ali this is very confusing. The un-
suspecting reader struggles along try
ing in vain to separate the we-goats
from the we-sheep. Sometimes that's
exactly what the editor is striving for,
and sometimes he is the most con-
fused of all.

MANY TOYS MADE Of STEEL

Steel Is used nowadays not only in

now made of steel.
Steel toys include, for example, toy
carts and wagons stamped out of thin
sheet steel. A toy steel dump cart.
painted in bright colors and provided
with a twisted wire handle is made to
retail for five cents. There are larger
toy dump carts and four wheeled toy

Among the steel toys are toy safes
in various styles and sizes and made
in very safelike appearance, and there
are steel toy money banks of various
designs and toy steel furniture and

them being the steel toy drum, which
is made not only with its shell and
hoops of steel, but with heads also
of steel, painted to initiate sheepskin.
There is an all steel toy drum that i9
