A str;no Trick.

Lay a piece Of string across the
palms of your hands placed side by
side, letting the ends hang down; then
bring your palms quickly together, at
the same time secretly catching hold
Of the middle Of the string with your
fourth and fifth fingers. Then direct
any person to tie your thumbs togeth-
or Is tight as he pleases. and he will
not. of course, be tying them. because
you have hold of the string. yet it will
appear to him that he is doing SO.
Ask him to place a hat over yonr
hands. Then blow upon the hat and
say. BE loose slipping your thumbs
from under the string. Direct him to
remove the hat and show the thumbs
free. Request that the hat be again
placed over your hands. Then blow
upon the hat as before and say. BE
tied" slipping your thumbs under the
string again. and when the hat is re-
moved your thumbs will appear to be
tied as tight as at first. After you
have performed the trick you must
convey the string deftly into your
pocket so that 1t may not be detected.

Hunt the Whistle.

Tie a wooden whistle on to one end
of a piece of string and a large safety
pin on to the other end. Those who
know how to play the game remain in
the room while the others go out A
circle Is formed. seated, and. one by
one, the others are called in. One passes
to the center of the circle. where n
will explain to him that there is just
one whistle in the ring. 1t is not to go
outside of the circle; nobody is allowed
to hold 1t. etc. While this explanation
Is taking place the n to whom his
back is turned Is pinning the whistle
to his coat When that is done he
blows 1t, and that is the signal for the
hunt. You cannot imagine the fun
1t causes to see them darting first this
side. then that, catching first the hands
of one. then of another. and declaring
that they have it When they arm
that 1t was fastened to them all the
time 1t is certainly funny to see the
faces. Keep the whistle blowing; you
will laugh until your face aches

SEA GARDENS OF
FIVE MILE BEACH
AIRS. c. r. Copeland, .sDIana," OF
the Inquirer, Writes interest
ingIy Of our Gardens, After
a Visit With MIR. and
Mrs. ConnOr

Probably one Of the most endeared
names to the Philadelphia public, as
we'll as elsewhere. is that OF "Dlana,u
of the Inquirer. "Diana" in her home
life is Mrs. g. F. Copeland and her
home is 44ih and Parkside avenue,
Philadelphia. Chiefest of her enter
tanning writings is that which pertains
to the outdoor life; not SC much fem
mime sport az the gentler side of life
as it relates TO the garden, the flowers
and fruits and the ennobliDg things
which spring therefrom and blossom
IN the soul and eyes Of them who love
the gentle earth and its fruits.
Mrs. Copeland has a way and style
all her own; less of the fippant affected
by the woman writer's and more Of
the serious, thoughtful and well doing.
Until this summer Mrs. Copeland
was q stranger 10 our Five Mile Beach.
Now she loves 1t. Her story. herewith
reprinted from the Inquirer Of wednes-
day, September 28d, is the happiest
sort of q treatise on "Sea Gardens" as
she observed quickly the same on our
beach. Every owner of a beach garden
land all of us know the struggle against
stiff headw winds to keep 'em up will
instantly realize the beautiful picture
painted.
Truly hers is a soul that marches
along with other numerous garden
loving souls who dig In the salt sand
and try TO make a thew flip produce
grass and green things.
Five Mile Beach welcomes "Dianan
and would love to have her set up a
little domicile and be one of us as
much as she could be.
She was the recent and is the occa-
sional guest Of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Carpenter Common at their little Angle
sea cottage.
Her story follows:

What a handsome and intelligent
countenance is shown by the dog In the
picture. Surely every M who sees
it will echo this sentiment. This dog
is named Collar and is one of the
numerous dogs selected in Canada by
Sir Ernest Shackleton to take to the
antarctic in his proposed trip across
that frozen end of the world. Now
that war has broken out in Europe y
is doubtful If Sir Ernest will proceed
on his quest. The experiences of ex-
plorers in the arctic and the antarctic
have proved that dogs provide the best
means of transportation. Ponies have
been tried and found to be of little
use in long journeys over the Ice. Ad-
miral Peary, who discovered the north
pole. was accompanied by dog teams.
as was also ROAD Amundsen. who
first reached the south pole. Captain
Scott. who with several companions
persisted in the snow after reaching
the pole. took ponies. but they died
long before he reached the pole.

How rinfoil Is Made.

In making tinfoii the melted tin is
poured into moids making thin plates.
These plates are then passed through
rollers. first singly, and then as they
grow thinner several are run through
together until. finally. MS many as 300
sheets pass under the rollers at once,
which reduces each sheet to a thick
ness OF one-tenth Of a miliimeter. Then

with wooden mallets. The metal Is
often ailoyed with ! or ? per cent Of
copper. while for the cheaper kinds,
such as Is used for wrapping tea, to
bacco and candy. lead is used as the
alloy.-St Nicholas.

SEA GARDENS

For many weeks this summer we
have been peeping at the various gar
dens of our friends, or we have sat un-
der the vine-clad porch and chatted of
the decorations which Nature gives US,
without firing, but while we have dis
cussed the water garden. the formal
aud wild garden we have forgotten
that there is still another, which 10 per-
haps more novel than any, and this is
the sea garden. 1t Is a combination of
the rock and water garden and still
quite different.
Gardens that grow by the sea have
a charm all their own and those who
love them are loyal to their particular
style and beauty.
A bungalow or cottage by the sea Is
not planted with formal gardens, trees
and shrubs, such as we see inland in
stead we find the sturdy pines and
shrubbery which Is stunted as the bay
berry, OF the barberry and all Of the
pine family, which are storm resisting,
fit into the seascape.
A veritable tide of flowers might swell
with fragrance and bloom along the
base of the rocks and the sand lovers,
which are the sea pinks and portulaca,
will chase down to the very waves.
Nature and art are so commingled In
the sea garden that it is impossible to
discern the line between the two, even
by the maker of the garden. He has
only to SOW the seed and Nature does
the rest, even to the beauty and lines
which the garden forme.
In certain regions there is a wealth
of native plants, which should be
drawn from more freely, for it is not
likely that 10 cold climates the tropical
sea plants will flourish, while the
flowers of the north have nc particular
desire to bloom on sun kissed shores.
We are told that the laurel had no
admirers In this country, until after it
was made a favorite in Europe, after
which we were able to import from
abroad more easily than we could dig
1t from our own wooded country neal
at hand. Such is the American idea of
going away from home for the exquis-
lite flowers that we find are but weeds
at home.
The sea is as necessary to the garden
that grows by its side as Is the lake
and hedge, or parterres to the formal
garden. The garden must always have
its frame or background, and for the
sea garden there must be the pinks,
the hedge of rushes and tall grasses
and the charm of the little bungalow
itself in the distance from which the
flowers, like the wild children they are,
run back and forth to catch the very
breath of the ocean and the freshness
Of It's aroma.
There are as many different sea
flower children as there are different
resorts, but the South Jersey shores are
most familiar to us and among the
native flowers there we have the hibus-
Gus, which Is often called the rose mall
low or the wild hollyhock. A field of
this bloom is simply a surprise to the
city folk, who come to the shore and
find this pink favorite growing up
among the weeds in the fields.
The swamp pink, which for the gar
dener is called hellonias bellata, and
the rose pogonia, the anemone, the grass
and sea pink, the turkey beard, cotton
grass and beaked rushes, the sedges

SCIENCE OF HOTEL KEEPING
Swiss Youth May Be Said to Have
Revoiutionixed Methods Of the
European Hosteiries.

Like many another mighty enter
prise the Ritz-Carlton hotels had n
modest beginning. and the whole idea
had ite origination in the brain OF n
Swiss farmer boy, Cesar Ritz. whose
father titled n small holding. The son,
however. had larger ideas. Taking up
hotel work ut the beginning in a very
minor capacity. he developed a most
wonderful sense of color. form and
taste In every respect, and he brought
the art OF hotel keeping in Europe to a
higher pitch than 1t had ever been be-
forel Indeed he rcvolutionixed hotel
keeping in England and France. and
that revolution has gradually shown
Its influence all over the world. Ri.s's
first enterprise was the Ritz hotel In
Paris. which he started about 1897.
