FOR HALLOWEEN
Needle Game.

Take creased needle and float it
in water. First lay on the water a bit
of very thin tissue paper and place
the needle on it. In a short time the
paper becomes wet and sinks to the
bottom, leaving the needle floating on
the water. Owing to phenomenon
called capillary the needles behave
very curiously Some run to the edge
of the dish and stick there, while
some rush together and cling to-
gether.
Mirror. Game.
Take a candle and go alone into
dark room to looking glass; eat an
apple before it, and some traditions
say you should comb your hair all the
time; the face of the one you will
marry will be seen in the glass, as
if peeping over your shoulder.
P.5S. If you are a wise guy you
will be on the job when your best girl
starts out with the mirror!

THE average novel is insipid,' said
James L. Ford, the noted critic, at a

Il was taking tea one afternoon in

suddenly turned to her parlor maid

"Oh, Marie, horrors! What have

GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE.

When delicious cake for an i'm.
portant occasion is needed. here it is:
Brownies eIieht.-Make four lay
ers of rich white cake and put them
together with the following filings:
Make boiled frosting of four cups of
sugar, the whites of four eggs, cook
ing the sugar until ii hairs The
frosting may be made in a large plat
ter and then divided into four parts.
Into the first part put a grated CO.
coanut and the pulp of an orange
rubbed through a sieve; spread this
on one layer. Into the second portion
put cup of chopped hickory nut
meats, a cup of chopped raisins and
a tablespoonful of grated chocolate
Put on the third layer and cover with
the frosting in which a cup OF chopped
almonds and cup of shredded citron
is mixed. On the top layer put the
plain frosting.
A very small portion of such rich
ness would go a great ways. The lay
ers are, OF course, large in size.
orange Dessert.-Cut very fine half
a dozen juicy oranges, pile in a pretty
bowl, cover with a strip made of su,
gar, water and a little lemon juice
boiled together and set away to cool.
Before serving, pour over the strip
and cover with sweetened whipped
cream. Cocoanut may be used if
cream Is not obtainable.
Baked Mushrooms.-Sel large
firm mushrooms, peel and place cup
side up on strips or rounds of toast,
season with butter, pepper and salt,
and bake in a hot oven; haste with
butter and serve on the pieces of
toast
Mushrooms cooked in a little butter
and making their own sauce are deli
cious served with plain omelet

PRACTICAL HINTS.

After making sandwiches place
them in an earthen crock and cover
tightly; set the crock in pan of cold
water, and the sandwiches will keep
moist for hours.
To render boots and shoes water
proof, rub a little mutton fat around
the edges of the soles. BeeswaX is
just as good.
Save all the tissue paper to put into
sleeves and under folds to keep
dresses from becoming creased.
Rhubarb is rich in oxalic acid, which
is a good tonic. Spinach is a good
blood purifier. Celery and lettuce is
good for the nerves.
A piece of garden hose makes fine
rug beaten. 1t may be split at the
tive.
When cooking fowl of any kind,
turn the breast down, as the white
meat needs the flavor of the juice
which will then pass into it.
Raisins are easily stoned if boiling
water is poured on them and they are
left in it for a short time.
Waxed paper should be saved to
wrap about bread or any food that one
wishes to keep from drying.
Bits of moistened newspaper thrown
over a rug or carpet before sweeping
saves much dust. Tea leaves well
moistened are also good.

Noise Killing Mankind.

Mans nerves and hearing apparatus
were evolved in comparatively quiet
surroundings, to detect faint sounds
warning him Of danger or of the pres
ence OF game. Sudden loud sounds
shock the system greatly-in child
hood they may cause commissions.
In time we might evolve race i'm
mune to noise but It can only be done
by killing off those who are most in
jured by it. and these nervous people
are often the very ones who are do
ing the most to advance civilization.
So the only thing to do is to make the
environment fit for them and not kill
them as unfit for the environment.
The first step is to abolish unneces-
sary bells, whistles and street cries,
construct less noisy pavements and give
children Fairgrounds where they can
blow off steam to their dear hearts
content and not annoy anyone. not
even ong-suffering, head-achy mamma.
A genius who can still the noise Of
our dreadful streets and tube railways

a number of French officers at Nice.
The idea, 1t seems, was suggested
by the fate of the famous aviator
Rogers who met death because a SEQ.

his control of his machine. The o.
GERS argued amongst themselves tina
II a modest.sized bird such as the sea

from the Alpine home of the Swiss
eagle, six birds were Immediately put

One after another the eagles attack
all the aeroplane balloons until thev

certain that they will now attack

the same ferocity.

Why Clocks Get Out Of Order.

The reason why mantelpiece clocks
so often get out of order is so obvi
GUS that it is strange that attention to
1t has not been drawn before. A
London clockmaker said:
1T is because mantelpieces are rare
ly level If clock meant for a man
telpiece is not placed in an exactly
horizontal position it is sure to go
wrong. When the clock gains & loses
because of its slanting position, peo-
pie regularly move the hands onward
or backward, as the case may be, in
order to adjust it. Eventually the
clocks hands are moved about so
much that the mechanism gets out Of
order and the clock refuses even to
tick.
Watches and travelling clocks are
constructed differently from the sta
tionary clock. and they will go in any
position. That is why they are relied
upon more than the ornamental man
telpiece clock"
