HINTS FOR THE

Handy Folding Shelf For Use
In the Kitchen.

II is often convenient to have an ex-
ira shelf at the side OF the kitchen or
in the laundry room. One may be
made as shown In the accompanying
diagram. A stout cleat or strip of
wood Is fastened to the wall where
the scantlings run or where there IL

triangular piece of wood to act as

drawing there will be no danger of the
shelf falling while anything is on it.
because the triangle will have to be

therefore neglected nothing that con-

had strict orders to make no noise be-

prohibited till midday. The other

About Punk stlokn.

All boys and girls no doubt like to
burn Chinese incense or "punk sticks
but few perhaps know where they
come from or how they are made.
These sticks, which are not really
sticks after all, come from north Chi
ma. where their manufacture is one OF
the oldest of industries.
The basis Of the sticks is the bark
Of the elm tree. which is ground into
powder and mixed with water. II
then forms very sticky paste. which
is nodded into the sticks and dyed red.
The elm trees grow in all parts of
north China, and the bark costs the
makers of the sticks practically only
the labor of getting 1t.

A GREAT BATTLE

In one Of the greatest games ever
played between the teams Meharry
and Fisk was battled to-day for the
verdict. The weather was ideal for
the players. The field was bit
treacherous and yet the game was
one of the fastest battles waged by
these ancient rivals. Each team
brought out the best they had in the
shop and long before time was called
for play one could see that it was
going to be battle royal.
The Fisk supporters were jubilant
over the splendid showing of their
team and were loud in their praise
of the work done by them this sea-
son. They figured that with an
equal break in the luck the old Gold

Minnesota shift and for few
moments swept everything before
them Fisk did not seem able to
stop them. But after few words
from Capt. Kindle things began to
look different, and the Fisk line is
now holding like true and tried -vete-
rams.
To say that the game was a good
one is putting it too mild. 1t should
be called corker-one of the great
est seen here this season; one in
which one sees all kinds of new and
old football. The game was replete
with sensational stunts, long runs,
forward passes, line plunging and
good kicking. In fact, to have missed
this game you would have l(st some
thing you could never have regained.
The playing of big chief Cochran
wes also splendid demonstration Of
the modern game, and the manner In
which he worked must bring COM
ment from all.
Bass also played a wonderful game
at center, as we'll as did Brown, Can
ady and Zuber. In all the game must
be considered one of the best ever
seen at Athletic Park.

Strange as it may seem, yet 1t is
true that all Fisk teams have been
noted for their ability at end runs.
The team to-day demonstrated beyond
doubt that they have few equals
and no superior at that style of play.
Kendall, in breaking away for his long
and spectacular end runs, would
bring the stands to their feet. There
is no denying the fact that Fisk is
playing one of the greatest games
ever seen here.
