New Geography Party.


This party was arranged and car
niece aged ten. There we're 20 guests
and the invitations read thus:
Miss Dorothy Brown requests the
pleasure of Miss Mary Collins COM
pany at q geography party on Tues.
day from four to seven. April 81. at
s425 Spring street. Costumes"
The invitations were sent out good
two weeks In advance to give the
mothers time to talk 1t over and plan
the costumes. In many instances what
the children had determined the char.
acter they represented. For example:
The little boy who had q complete
Indian outfit went as THE first Amer
ican." lad who rejoiced In q good
big. fat plaster pig went az an Irish
man with q clay pipe and high hat.
q vivid green necktie and q quaint lit.

brilliant green knee breeches. The
young hostess represented Miss

her head sAe wore a cunningly de-
vised cap Of papier mache made from
q globe. In her hand she carried q

One of the amusements was Jolly
game called Mail Bags" The guests
sat on chairs in . semi-circle and
when the leader called out The mail
is going from Ireland to Mexico" the
two children representing these places
ran and changed chairs as quickly as
possible. When the leader called" Cen
eral Delivery" then every one changed
places. a chair being taken out quick
ly by the leader and the one who was
left became the leader when the next
mail went out" Another game
proved a great success. A large map
Of Europe was hung on the wall and
each child was given bit Of paper
marked Dan Il must explain that
Dan was about to go to Europe for
the summer): the game was to study
the map frst to find the location OF
Paris; then each child In turn was
blindfolded and tried to see how near
they could come to putting Dan" in
Paris. Each slip Of paper was left
Just where placed on the map until
all had tried. Then It was great fun
to see where Dan" found himself.
Only one came any place near Paris.
The last amusement Of all was the
most fun. The guests were told to

Veracruz, 30, ,4S3,271 kilos, Puebla with 21 ,063,000 kilOs and Sinaloa with 10,462,114 kilos to their credit, produce about 75 per cent of the total output for this country.
 For the past ten years there has been constant annual increase in the production of sugar in this country; in 1900 the production amounted to 75,000 tons and from that year there has been an increase each year over the year preceding. Last year, notwithstanding the fact that a great deal of the cane was injured by the frosts and the production was cut down from what was confidently expected earlier in the season, the output was increased by 12,000 tons from the year preceding. Last year the sugar output was also decreased on account of the number of re- fneries making more alcohol than usual. The acreage for the coming ] year is being largely increased and the production is expected to ex- ceed last year by a large amount.
