The scenes are laid down in Florida

production is lavish and at the same
time in keeping within the confines of

Plea of a PuriSt.

Thus writes a purist of Dorchester:
For the honor of Boston culture. will
you not call attention to the proper
pronunciation of the new vocabulary
concerning airships? Positively, it
sets ones teeth on edge to hear about
'a-re-o-planes' and 'a-re-o-nots.' to say
nothing of 'Bleerotts' and 'bip-lanes'
and 'avayshun.' 1t Is bad enough to
see 'airplanes' in bold type, but are
o-plane' is tough. Say word, too.
about that terrible new coinage onto
When the brave 'a-re-o-not' gets up
onto his ear it is really pretty bad,
but not so dangerous as to get up
onto his hanjer' And while you are
about it, do ask 'em to take time to
say telephone and not that dreadful
phone She who phones so often
wears a gigantic couture and some
what germy fillet, and exhibits vast
amount Of dentistry for the money.
And ask her. too. not to buy a 'rimlet'
Of 'voyep for her dress, nor to take
Johanna Hoff' if she wishes to re.
JUICE Or, if the subject is too large
for your space, will you just ask the
Colonel. who finds opportunity to ad-
just atomic as we'll as cosmic affairs?"

hair began to fall. I then changed
doctors to no avail. went to two
hospitals and each wanted to make a
study of the case and seemed unable
to cure 1t or assure me Of cure. I
tried several patent medicines and
was finally advised by a friend who

Cuticura Remedies. I purchased

the itching was allayed.

good enough for my skin. The psor-

The possibilities of this business are
shown somewhat by the fact that the
largest agencies handle as high as
100000 to $5,000,O00 a year, of
which their commissions are more
than one-tenth. Deduct Office ex-

come to him even before he is made

in this position may be very large.
There are numerous sales managers

An Indian Game.

The plum stone game is popular
with the Indians. The Dakotahs give
it the unpronounceable name of Kan.
sockootjpi, which simply means
shooting plum stones. Each stone is
painted black on one side and red
on the other. They are marked in
various ways to make them of Diff
ferent values.
These black and red stones are mt
in a large shallow dish of clay or
metal. This is stuck against the
nearest object with a sharp blow:
the stones fall, black or red side nm
and the betting on the number Of
black or red stones constitutes the
game. OF course this is gambling
pure and simple. The prizes are
valuable furs, clothing, food-everv.
thing goes for excitement of tho
game. Those who conduct it scream
at the top of their voices, and when
they rattle the platter they strike
their shoulders so hard az to max.
themselves black aud blue with the
blow. ... -,

GAME OF DUMB INSTRUMENTS
times-continuaI Changing Causes
Much Merriment.

The favorite pastimes among the
Chinese are those which are suitable
for playing at the table. The Dumb
Instruments" is one of the noisiest
and jolliest games. in a company of
any number each takes the name Of
some different instrument, which he is
supposed to initiate both in sound and
gesture. The leader will take the
name Of the drum, which is the most
important instrument; the first man
on his right will have the horn, the
second the cymbals, and so on.
After all have performed for few
moments on the various imaginary in
struments the leader will say. II pass
my drum now to Mr.. Ling" who may
be sitting on the otner side of the
table. Thereupon Mir. Ling begins
beating the drum, and each of the
other players must Immediately
change his instrument so that the or
der from the drum shall remain the
same.
For instance, he who sits upon the
right of Mr. Ling, who now has the
drum, must take the horn, the second
to the right the cymbals, and so on
around the circle, each instrument be-
ing the same number Ct Eaaces from
the drum as it is was before the
change. This continual changing of
the drum from one person to another,
and the subsequent endeavors to re-
member what is the correct imaginary
instrument and play it properly, are
provocative of great merriment.

Beaver Dam Builder,

A man who had his doubts about
beavers being able to build dams was
presented with a baby beaver by a
hunter. It became great pet, but
showed no signs Of wanting to build a
dam until one day a leaky pailful of
water was put on the floor of the out
kitchen. The beaver was there. and
though little more than a baby, when
he saw the water oozing across the
floor he scampered into the yard,
brought chip and began his work. His
owner kept the pail filed and left the
building material at hand, and the lit.
tie fellow kept at his work until he had
built solid dam around the pail.

Feared Census.

Britain's House of Lords was for
nearly half century an implacable
opponent of a census of the popula.
ton. fearing growth of sentiment
politically antagonistic to the landed
aristocracy as the result of the dis
closure Of the rapid growth of the
commercial cities and manufacturing
towns. The first census of England,
in 1907. revealed a total population
of S,S92,536, not much more than
London has today.
