Entertains the Little Ones.

Mrs. Clarence Ii. Mackay, original In
many things, is never more so than
when getting up entertainments for
children. Just give her chance to
bend her keen wits on amusement for
the little ones and her inventive facul-
ty is on edge Immediately. One of her
newest forms of juvenile diversion is
the royal taper tea" Her youthful
guests sit at tables. A beautiful big
cake is carried in and placed in the
tables center. The cake is lighted with
tiny tapers, one for each child in the
company. The cake may be baked in
the form of a star and should contain
a coin and a ring. All the taperS are
stuck securely in the icing that edges
the cake Mrs. Mackay cuts the cake
and gives each child a slice. The
guest whose slice contains the coin, If
Il boy, should be acclaimed king, and
she who gets the ring is queen. Fol
lowing an old custom, the king is lift
ed ON the shoulders of four boys up to
the ceiling, where he makes q sign to
Now the fun of the affair begins. The
king and queen mount a dais, and all
the other children have to pay homage
to them-bow, courtesy and pay pretty
compliments. Each subject in turn
has to entertain his monarchs in some
way-must dance, sing, jump, hop on
one foot or do some other stunt.

Lessons In "Noblesse oblise."

Lessons In "Noblesse oblge."
Among the hardest lessons younger
people have to learn is the one that
teaches "noblesse oblige," or. to put 1t
IN phrase. nobility of mind and
strength of character bring obligations
toward others,
A child wants to do what 1t likes to
do. 1t does not think it is in the least
necessary to consider what anybody
else likes or dislikes. Politeness de-
mands and politeness means the treat
ing of everybody just as one would
wish to be treated under similar cir
cumstances.
So here is the Golden Rule. truly and
without disguise. Unfortunately 1t Is
not followed largely in this selfish
world, but If young people were taught
oftener that they owe a certain duty
to themselves whereby they are most
certainly fulfilling their duty TO others
it would be pleasanter to pass along
the paths of social life
Duty to oneself means always
proper duty to those one comes in con-
tact with 1t is due to the growing
boy and girl to teach them that by their
actions toward host and hostess by
just so much is credit reflected upon
themselves and also upon their parents
Social duties are not always pleasant
Sometimes they mean meeting those
whom we heartily dislike under the
roof of a mutual friend. Then comes
the test of breeding, of recognizing
the obligations imposed by those laws
of society we call etiquette, and by
these the boy and girl are judged. If
self is allowed to step too prominently
to the front il means lack of politeness
that tends to place a hostess in an EN-
barrassing position.

Lisbon,s Craze for Motors.

The traveller notes that the ancient

streets is a cause of wonderment,

Lisbon is not well adapted to motor

Nevertheless the Portuguese of
the upper class must have his car.

Ruby Glass.

Genuine ruby glass is very expen-
sive because it is prepared with gold.
1t owes its color to the presence
throughout its mass of particles OF
gold too small to be seen with the
microscope. Only the ultra-micro-
scope, which renders visible objects
perceptible by means of their dif-
fusion of light, is able to show the ex-
istence of these minute particles.
With the ordinary microscope the
glass appears as a uniform transpar-
ent mass, but the ultra-mlcroscope
shows that 1t is filled with points of
light resembling stars on a black
background. These points Indicate
the presence of the particles of gold
to which the color of the glass is
due.-Harper's Weekly.

Children's Parties.

Children's parties are as difficult to

NAL functions of the grownup world.
So any new idea is apt to be welcomed
by the despairing hostess that will add
to the entertainment and enjoyment of
the youngsters.
An attractive affair that was recent.

The little guests were girls, and the
basis of the fun was a doll hunt, car
ried out after the manner of a cobweb

burg In national weak.
A glance at the makeup of the six
teen clubs in the two major league
organizations will disclose the fact
that few teams have the initial bag
covered as the requirements of the po-
sition demand.
The conditions are worse in the
American league than in the National.
for, with the exception of the Athlet-
les and New York, the teams in the
Junior organization are weak at first,
and the managers are having consider
able trouble finding men to fill the po-
sitions.
The National league is considerably
stronger in first basemen than the
American league, Pittsburg and Bos-
ton being the only teams that are real
ly weak at the initial sack. The Phil
lies have veteran in kitty" Brans
field, who is slated to play first again
this year, although Manager Doom
has two other men who are candidates
for Bransields place.

played last year and will play him
there this year. McGraw has a prom
Using recruit in Gowdy, but says he
will try to make a catcher out of the
youngster. Cincinnati has probably
the best first baseman in the National
league in Hoblitzel when ability and
youth are considered, and Konetchy
of st. Louis and Daubert of Brooklyn
look to have their jobs safe. Pitts
burg will have to do some more eX
perimenting this year, and Fred Ten
ney will try to prove that he can
"come back" with Boston.
Aside from the Athletics and New
Yorks, the American league is very
weak at first base, and every manager
except Connie Mack and Hal Chase
has been securing the country for new
material. Hughey Jennings hopes to
secure a successor to Tom Jones in the
bunch of recruits he has signed. Ness
and Gaynor will be tried out, and if
neither man proves satisfactory George
Moriarity may be found on the initial
bag.
Hughey Duffy is going to give Jiggs
Donohue another chance and has Tex
Jones, a yOungster, as a promising
candidate. Hohnhorst is the most
likely candidate for George Stovall's
place on the Cleveland team, but has
yet to prove that he has the makings
of a major league first sacker. Patsy
Donovan has selected no successor to
Jake Stahl and is experimenting with
a bunch of players. There are three or
four candidates for Unglaub's place
on the Washington team. The St
Louis Browns are worse off than any
of the other clubs. Bobby Wallace, re-
Gently appointed manager, has been
trying to make trades to build up his
team, but has not yet landed a man to
cover first.
The New Yorks are well fixed with
Hal Chase. although many figure that
managerial duties will affect his play
ing. Still, he outclasses them all. The
veteran Harry Davis will again hold
bag No. for the Athletics the coming
season. Manager Mack says Harry is
good for many more years, and unless
some accident happens to him he will
hold his position.

ALFALFA ROOTS A DELICACY.
Substitute For Early Asparagus Found

by Woman Farmer.
Alfalfa roots, white and tender, will
take the place of early asparagus if
Louise F. Weinland, an irrigation
rancher in the Spokane valley, Wash
ington, is successful with her plans for
marketing the newest table vegetable
in the western country. The discovery
that alfalfa root is as nourishing to
man as it is to live stock was made
by Miss Weinland several months ago,
but the proper method of preparing it
was not ascertained until recently,
when the young woman, after porting
for hours In a huge tome on cookery,
decided to try recipes for cooking as
paragus.
The first dish was sampled by a
neighbOr's hired man, who, ignorant
of what he was eating, called for a
second dish. Other neighbors ate of
the root and pronounced it satisfying
to the palate as well as highly nOur-
ishing. They say the flavor is similar
to asparagus.

the Congregational church in Newing-

members of his congregation who are
in the habit of coming late to services
in the following "Beatitudes For
Church Goers," which he has had print
ed in the church calendar:
Blessed are those who rise early Sun
day morning, for they get to church on
time.
Blessed are those who get to church on
time, for they arrive in the spirit of wor-
ship.
Blessed are those who are never late, for
they cause the minister and choir to love
them.

do not enter during the Scripture lesson
or prayer.
Blessed are those who come even at the
eleventh hour, but church begins at quar-
ter before IL.

There is every possibility that some
Australian athletes may pay flying
visit here next fall. A team of ath

is going to England for the empire

be men for all the distances up to a
mile as we'll as hurdlers and jumpers.
Among the probable members figured
on is Guy Haskins, who attended the
University of Pennsylvania and won
the intercollegiate in record time. He
is now living at Christchurch, New
Zealand, and, though he was said to
have forsaken the path, he never gave
up little practice now and again and,
it is claimed, can move as fast as ever.
