the plate before IL falls. keep It going
and 20 on with the story.
Plum pudding" must be brought
into each story and its continuation.
and the plate must never TIC allowed
to fall.
The story may be something like
this: at was Christmas. and We were
all at my grandmother's house. She
let me help her order the dinner. or
course there was n plan pudding
(spin the plate) of great size. ana We
all liked it better than ininca pie"
Mince pie must then catch tie spin
ming plate. give IL fresh impetus and
continue: ''In which they showed had
taste. | think. for. while mince pies
are fine at Christmas. l should prefer
plum pudding to roast Ches;nuts."
Roast chesmuts seizes the plate and
goes on: Yes. but they are for dos
sert. / think plum pudding would he
better than cranberry tart" And so
the game goes on till all are tired or
wits give out
Any one letting the plate fall or fail
ing to continue the story pays a for
felt or leaves the game as previously
arranged.

FIRST AID IN PAINTING.
Lower the Head to Let the Blood Back
to tho Brain.

Lower the 1ead to Let the BLOOD sack
to tho Brain.
Painting is a loss Of consciousness
due to the diminution of blood supply
to the brain. 1t occurs most frequent
ly in weak. sensitive women. but may
occur also to men as well. 1t usually
occurs in crowds or in crowded halls,
theaters and churches. where the at
mosphere is close and the air foul.
Painting usually lasts only a few
minutes. and the person RECEIVERS i'm
mediately when taken out into the
fresh air. but there are cases in which
1t lasts much longer. sometimes for an
hour or more. The first aid treatment
of fainting is usually very simple
Take the person out into the fresh
air and lay him fat on the back, with
the head lower than the feet
This can be done by grasping the
feet and holding the body so that the
head hangs down. or take an ordinary
straight back chair. turn it over so
that the back forms an angle with the
floor and place the person on the back
of the chair with the head hanging
down. This position with the head
hanging down favors the flow of the
blood back to the brain.
All tight clothing about the neck and
waist should be loosened. Smelling
salts or aromatic spirits of ammonia
applied to the nostrils and cold water
sprinkled on the face, chest and hands
help to restore corsciousness.-Natio ton.

THE SILVER DOLLAR.
Many Changes In Its Design Since II
Was First Issued.

The silver dollar has undergone a
great many changes since il was put
in circulation In 1894. On the face of
the first dollar there was stamped the
head of young woman turned to the
right and with hair flowing. as If she
was in a gale of wind. But in 1876
congress came to her relief and ordered
her hair to be tied up with a bit of
ribbon. The fifteen stars which ap-
peared on the first dollar were after
this reduced to the original thirteen in
recognition of the number of states.
In 1886 the design was again chang
ed. and the dollar bore the figure of
woman dressed in a flowing garment
The designer forgot. however. to put
In the thirteen stars. and the coin was
soon called in. the new design having
the woman surrounded by stars. Her
air was defiant and stin looking. and
in 1888 dollars ere issued which were
more artistic in treatment The first
dollars bearing the motto. IN Goa we
