An outdoor Rlrthday Party.

How children do love parties, birth
day parties especially, and every
child is entitled to one day out OF the
year for his or her very own, and of
course this is the natal day. l won

ing history and how very short the
time will be when these wee tots will
be saying: when I was little we did
SO ands So" / am reminded OF an eld-
erly woman who always counts back
to her sixth birthday and the sake
which she chose for the occasion was
roll jelly" The young mother was
not an expert cook but she had prom
Used the child she would chose the
kind of cake she wanted, and, let me
add, she made it, and 1t was glorious
in the child's eyes and has gone down
into the annals of happy life with
many birthday cake and party.
Remember, children are the most
satisfactory of all guests, the very
fact of dressing and, going to party
and bringing home the spoils is bliss.
Provide little baskets Of dainty tissue
paper bags in which to put the favors
and candies, and even the cake, for
some kiddies love to take samples
home
Now for the party. We will need
a lawn, some trees and a big porch
and then with these accessories there
must be a big bowl of lemonade on
hand under a Japanese umbrella, the
stake or handle being driven into the
ground. Children are always thirsty
and this will prevent them from run
ming into the house for drink every
five minutes. Hide animal crackers
over the grounds and tell the guests
there is whole menagerie hidden un-
der the bushes, in the grass and even
in the benches of the trees; give each
one a paper bag in which to put the
game and give a little prize to the
one who finds the most. A. small flag
may be hidden and that will make an
other hunt, the gay little "stars and
stripes" being pinned on the lucky
finder.
The "eats" will be the climax of the
party and the cake should be lighted
with due ceremony and the children
allowed to blow out the candles. Cum
ming favors are made by sticking ami
NAL crackers together with icing, and
thus made they will stand upright at
each plate. Delicious small cookies
may be ornamented with daisies made
from blanched almonds, the stem and
leaves of angelica! fasten them on
with frosting.
Swapping motto caps always give
pleasure and sometimes the Christ
mas Tree sparkles are obtainable at
this season and they are lovely set to
going outdoors and are not harmful.
Ice cream may be served in orange
halves, thus making baskets with
smilax for handles. Orange ice is very
good served this way and is not so
rich as ice cream. The party sta
tionery that comes for parties is a
joy to use for the invitations and the
"Sunbonnet" baby cards are attrac-
tive also. The five and ten" cent

Scott Shaft of Susquehanna Coal Co.,
Near Shamokin, Pa, is Afire-
Rescue Burned Bodies.

Shamokinl Pa, June 9.-One hun
dred miners are entombed in the Scott
colliery of the SusQuehanna Coal COM
pany, which is located near here. 1t
is said the mine is on fire and that a
score or more badly burned were res
cued from the mine.
Several miners were killed and a
number burned in an explosion of gas
in the second lift of slope in the
Scott colliery, operated by the Sus-
quehanna Coal company. A party OF
men have gone to the entombed, the
number, it is said, about 25. So far
it is impossible to tell how many vic
tins of the explosion there are. At
noon two dead men, George Soduskie
and Steven Warren, and ten burned
men had been recovered. A majority
Of the burned were in serious con-
dition and it is feared a few of them
will die. The rescuers have been COM

Candle Tricks.

Children and even grownups enjoy
after-dinner tricks and give these
lust as they came to me. They are all
to be performed with candles. have
not had time to try them. Perhaps
some of you will be kind enough to
write me if they are any good You
could use them as an adjunct to
bazaar, performing them In a separate
booth with curtains hung at the door
to give an air of mystery, and charge
penny to get in. OF course, this is
all to be done by young people, as 1t
is within their possibilities.
Put nail in the end of candle and
set it all IN glass filed with water.
The nail will steady the candle, which
will burn until nothing remains, al
ways rising above the surface of the
water by reason of the decrease in
weight.
Take small picture cut from pa
per or book, and wrap it tightly
around a candle. Light match or
another candle and hold the flame
near until the paper becomes trans
parent. Unwrap the paper, and every
one Will Dc dSIOUl6u0u U uuu Tie pIO-
ture printed on the candle.
Put a candle unlighted in basin
of water. Let several try to take it
out with their mouths, not touching
the candle with their hands. Every
one will fail. Then you put your face
in the water. and, when your mouth is
near the end of the candle. draw in a.
deep breath, and the suction of the
water will draw the candle into your
mouth.
Allow some drops from a lighted
candle to fall into basin Of cold a.
ter. This grease will form foTA.s.
String these on wire with green
leaves made from paper, and an in
teresting plant will be the result.
Heat a piece of wire and stick 1T
crosswise through the middle of
candle Make a wick at both ends.
Balance the candle on two tumblers.
Light the wicks, and the dropping
of the candle grease will make the
candle see-saw, faster and faster as
the flame grows hotter. This is
pretty experiment.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Frankfort-Almost reckless use Of
money in the expenditures of main
tanning the Eastern Kentucky Normal
school at Richmond, and money spent
with no hope of return in the form
OF benefits to students, is the charge
Sherman Goodpaster in his report to
Gov. McCreary of his investigation Of
the financial condition of this institu-
ton. In addition to the general main
tenance Of the institution farm has
been purchased by the school at $751;
600, a, house used by the president was
purchased at cost of $4,000, and re-
modelled at cost of $2,343.42, and an
addition has been made to Sullivan
hall at cost of $29,400. Goodpaster
says that the statute providing for ex-
penditures> of money appropriated to
this school is not broad enough to COW
er such expenditures as these. Good
paster estimates that at the end of
this month the school will be $81, 781.98
in debt, with no available assets to
meet the expenditures. A recapitula-
ton of the receipts and expenditures
for the fiscal year, ending June 80,
1912, shows receipts $11S,995.S7 and
expenditures $1O7,S16.53, leaving a bal.
ance of $10,93214. For the first nine
months of the present fiscal year the
receipts, including the balance on
hand, were $S0,856.29 and the disburse-
ments $70,92269. He estimates the
expenses of maintaining the institu-
ton from March 81 to June 80 at $12,-
500, and the outstanding liabilities OF
the institution at $9S,O29.0s, while the
available assets, including $27,500 due
from the state, $933.60 cash balance
and $313.50 due from the students,
amount to $2S,74710, leaving estimat-
ed net liabilities at the close of the
fiscal year $81,87198.

while attempting to cross a stream at
night, and his administrator sued the
city for damages for not having erect

Pastimes For Outdoor Parties.


Did you every try Blowing the
Gomez" The youngsters will love it.
Make large cone of stiff paper and
slip it on. a string stretched between
two trees about three feet from the
ground.
Give each child try to see if by
blowing into the large end Of the
cone they can send it across the
string. The art is to see who can
send it ever with the fewest elbows"
Another very good amusement is to
tie knot in clothes line and stretch
it conveniently high between two
trees or posts, blindfold each child in
turn and give him three clothes pins.
Then see who can come the nearest
the knot Each pin is marked with
the players numbers for instance.
three will be marked "I," three "2,'
etc. This gives each one three trials.
If the party is large one it will be
best to let each child have just one
pin and instead of numbering the
clothespins could have colored ribbons
tied to them, each child to remember
his or her color.

Farmers of Barnes county have
practically finished the cutting Of
grain, in many places threshing has
begun, and within very few days
will be general. '
There is still some late oats and flax
to be cut, but the largest percentage
of he crop has already been handled
and farmers see their way clear to
finish their seasons work in better
shape than they have for a number Of
years
The help problem is worrying but
little this season. Farm help is draw
ing $3.50 per day, and so far there has
been plenty to supply the demand. In
some vicinities there is surplus, but
any man who wants work badly is
sure of getting it.
