Cams of Occupations.

Each chooses some kind Of work to
do, calling it out so all can hear. Then
the leader begins q story--fer example,
Il went out today, but Just as | came
through the kitchen l saw our cook'-
Here the player who has chosen to be a
cook steps forward and goes through
some cooking motions, saying, What
was she doing7' II the leader finds
out In three guesses the cook goes
back to her place. IL not she becomes
leader and goes on with the story.
That will, Of course, be made to suit
the occupations and may proceed
something like this: II went down the
steps and walked to the corner, where
there was a carpenter busy at, and
on q roof across the street a plumber
was"- And so on The breaks are
filed, as previous described. Most oc-
equations are such that to perform
their duties requires many motions.
The cook can be kneading bread or
grinding coffee. For this reason three
guesses are necessary.

Tho Curious GrappIe Plant.

Plants have varied and ingenious
ways Of scattering their seed, Some
with wings like those Of tiny aero
planes are blown by the wind; some
are thrown out of the seed pods by ex-
blossoms; others, by means of hooks,
attach themselves to passing animals
and are carried long distances. Of this
last class Is the fruit Of the gourdlike
grapple plant that grows In the deserts
of the T%ransvaal and Orange river col
ony. From the hard pod of this plant
project cl awlike runners that are arm
ed with sharp pointed hooked thorns,
and when a springbok or some other
animal steps on them they pierce the
hoof and start the animal galloping
madly away. As the pod often sticks
to the animals foot for several days
the seed Of the plant Is likely to be
widely distributed. This contrivanee
of nature seems unusually cruel, for
the animal that Is so unfortunate az to
tread on the grapple plant not only
suffers Intense pain, but often becomes
an easy victim of It's enemies.

1851 Fancy WAIST
"a to 40 bust.

WITH OR WITHOUT PANIER AND
CHEMIsETTE, WITH LONG SHOULDER
LINE. VEST AND FANCY COLLAR.
Paniers continue to be exceedingly
popular and many interesting forms are
being developed. This illustration shows
a waist with a long, loose panier attached
and the effect Is excellent. The waist
consists of front and back portions with a
vest that extends a little below the waist
line and a collar Of the R~obespierre order.
The sleeves are joined to the waist at the
long shoulder line and are finished with
points at the wrists. These sleeves are
slightly full at the top and can be finished
with openings and frills at the lower edges
or left plain. The waist can be made
without the peplum if preferred and, in
that case, the vest Is cut off at the waist
line. There Is a separate chemisetta
that can be worn or omitted as occasion
requires, The closing is made at the
center front by. means OF buttons and
putton-holes. The model is excellent both
Tor the waist to be worn with a skirt OF
different material and for the entire
costume. In the Illustration, black and
white charmeuse are combined to give a
very smart effect.
For the medium size, the waist will
acquire 81 yards of material ~, AZ
yards 36, 8 yards a inches wide with
n yard At inches wide for the vest and
collar and H yard Is for the che1nisette
and stock collar,
The pattern Of the waist 1851 is cut in
sizes from "a to 40 bust. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion Department
OF his papar. ON receipt Of ten cent.

a KNOWING One.

Miss Maude Annesley in her book,
MY Partisan Year." tells an excellent
story to illustrate the way French res
taurant keepers try to "do' the lrav-
cling Engllshman.
She once went to a very well Known
restaurant with an Englishman who
had lived nearly all his life In France.
He wished to give a dinner for eight.
He studied the menu, decided ON what
he wanted and then asked the price
per head.
"Forty-fve francs, monsieur" said
the maitre d'hotel.
Miss Annesfey's friend looked stead
lily at him and remarked, y am
French"
The maitre d'hotel pretended 10 make
another addition, then said, We'll,
monsieur, we will do it for 40 sfrancsY'
The other replied calmly, II am still

"Thirty-hve francs, them said the
maitre d'hotel.

was the retort, and Miss Anneeley says
that the price finally paid was only
% francs per head.

fu,mInare OF Mercury.

"A peculiarly Of illuminate Of mer-
curry is that 1t produces a shock TO
which all other substances are sensi-
tive, and Its supreme value as an ex-
plosiye rests In this fact and In the
known liability of all explosives to be
dstonated by more or less distant ex-
blossoms. There is a current Of sympa-
thetic influence in these terrible chem
Ical competitions that Is as strange as
1t Is dangerous. What Is required to
produce explosion is the rapid genera
ton Of great heat along with large
quantities Of oxygen. In gunpowder,
Tor instance, the nitrate Of potash
(saltpeter), which is the chief ingre-
dent, is practically imprisoned oxygen,
and when 1t Is decomposed along with
charcoal au immense heat Is developed,
which causes the gases to expand sud
denly, hence explosion.

AMENDMENT NO. -.

Among the proposed amendments to the
constitution to be voted on on next Tuesday
is the amendment marked Act LAT, amend
ing article 100 of the constitution, and
numbered Is on the official ballot. We
hope the amendment will carry. 1t is a
good one and should receive the hearty
support of the voters of the entire State.
The press of the State, without exception,
we believe, favor its adoption. In speak
ing of the amendment the New Orleans
Times Democrat says:
SIN area, the Fifteenth District is, we
are informed, the largest in the State: it is
one of the most populous; the volume OF
business, already heavy, constantly grows
and thesbusiness of its courts increases in
consequence. Even before the division of
Calcasieu the volume of litigation was so
great that the dockets were congested, and
the single judge was greatly overworked.
In that parish alone an average of five
cases for each legal day were disposed OF
during the last judicial year.
"The multiplication of court terms, ju-
dicial duties and time required for cover
ing the district renders the creation of an
additional judgeshipa necessity, if serious
delays in the administration of justice and
the heavy cost entailed by them are to be
avoided. Provision of the additional judge
is urged in the interest of economy as wei
as that of Justice. The additional office tc
be created is necessary to the prompt ad
ministration of justice, and so is essential.
