INVENTION
STOPPER FOR WATER BOTTLE
Ring Attached to Bottom Prevents It
From Being Lost-No Obstacle
to Filling Bag.

Water bottle shoppers, like collar
buttons, have a mania for getting
lost, and without a stopper the bot
tie is about as much use as it would
be without water. 1t took the COM
bined intellects of New York man
and New Jersey man to invent some
thing that would keep the stopper
where it belonged and the result is
shown here. Attached to the bottom
OF the stopper by a chain several
inches long is a ring that is just too
long to pass through the neck of the

A three-piece screen covered with
cretonne containing pockets for every.
thing needed in the sewing room is a
convenience. These pockets are all
one one side. SO that when the screen
is reversed it is an ornament to the
room, and no one suspects the n,inia,
ture sewing room that II contains.

an earlier world when all the
countries now engaged In fore
ible disputations were includ-
ed in the Byzantine empire, which Is
also popularity known as the Greek en-
pire, and was founded in 295 A. D.,
when Theodosius the Great at his
death divided the Roman empire be-
tween his two sons, one Of whom, Ar
cadius, was the first emperor Of the
Byzantine empire. This empire last
ed for more than 1000 years Its cap
ital was Byzantium, now CONSTANT
nople. Its greatest names are Justin
ian, who reigned from SGT to 565, and
Leo the Isaurian, who seized the
throne in TIC. During the succeeding
ages there were constant struggles
with the Saracens and the Bulgarians
1t was in the eleventh century that
the Byzantine empire was threaten
ed and its power broken by the Seljuk
Turks, In 1904 the French and the
Venetians captured Constantinople,
and there was a period of western rule
for nearly so years The Turks first

empire came to an end. From that

History Of Ada-KaIeh.
One of the oddities of Turkish his

Turks of an island in the Danube. 1t
lies just where the southwest of Hun

little island fortress of Ada-Kaleh is
Turkish territory, its inhabitants are
Turks, who are naturally under the
Jurisdiction of the sultan, yet the fort
ress on the island belongs to Austria
Hungary, who provideds the garrison.
The island, which is of great strategic
importance, is situated in the middle
of the Danube, just where it flows
through high cliffs about half an
hours journey from the Iron Gates.

NEW GAME FOR HALLOWEEN
Pastime as Described Warranted 10
Furnish All Mysterious Misgiy-a
nas, Thrills and s1ivers.

In connection with the usual Haei
loWeen charms and incantations thsl
following game-waranted to reek
with all the mysterious mfsgiy1ngs,
thrills and shivers appropriate to the
occasions recommended as very
jolly and entirely suited to "witching
night" It is Of French extraction, is
called tsous Table" and Is played as
follows:
AS the players sit close together
round the table with their hands well
under the overhanging folds OF the
tablecloth the game would better be
played at or after the refreshment
stage Of the proceedings. It consists
Of passing from hand to hand, and
quite without looking at them, all sorts
OF articles prepared to be particularly
grewsome to the touch, and he or sne
who shrieks, laughs or drops an artl-
Gle is liable to forfeit.
The articles, concealed by nap
kin,-are held on the lap Of the hostess
as she sits at the head OF the table
and she passes one by one of them
always under the folds OF the table
cloth-from her right hand 70 her
neighbours left; he does likewise and
so on round the table. When tie arti-
Gle comes back to the hostess she
drops it under the table and takes up
the next one from her lap and SO on
till the supply OF articles is exhausted.
With a choice lot Of carefully pre-
pared horrors this game may be Work'
ed up into real Halloween hit
A limp bean bag, lucky rabbit
foot, fluff Of cotton wool, baby,s
angora mitten loosely stuffed with cot
ton batting, the working end OF a
superannuated feather buster, a bit OF
fur, an old bead purse, a scrap OF
chamois skin are among the things
which-perfectly innocent In them
selves and entirely unaWesome when
seen-cause US to shrink and shiver
when we touch them without knowing
what they are. The trump card at
this me-and one sure to bring IN
many fines In the forfeits- when late
" played at our house was Womans
kid glove firmly stuffed, with all the
fingers spread, with damp sea sand
and kept in the icebox until needed
for the game.
