SUMMER DIVERSION.
A Literary Party Is a Clever Way Of
Entertaining Friends.

If you want to entertain Il group Of
friends and your rooms are not large
enough for dancing, and you are tired
OF Whist and bridge, try having a lit.
erary party.
First OF all select congenial people
and have the invitations printed on
small folders. II your library is large
enough have the guests assemble there
and have some representing a H.
brarian distribute small notebooks pre-
pared in this manner. At any shop
dainty miniature booklets are pur-
chasable. or if you are clever at MAX
ing things of this sort they will be even
more interesting than those purchased.
Attach to each of these as many book
marks us there are guests. Pieces Of
narrow ribbon are used for this pur-
pose. and tiny envelopes are then fas-
tened to h ends of the ribbons.
On the flyleaf of each miniature
notebook write ar incident taken from
some we'll known book. Make fifty
words the limit for this description.
Provide each guest with slips of paper
on which are written the guesses at
the name of the book suggested by
the description of the t1yleaf. Each
guest slips his guess into the envelope
and seals it,, writing his name on the
outside.
When all the envelopes are filled Sc
lect the cleverest guest, who possesses
plenty of wit and humor. to open the
envelopes and read the attempts at cor
rect guessing. Award an appropriate
prize to the one guessing the greatest
number correctly. \ bookrack, maya.
zine cover book or library scissors
are in good taste. When writing the
description on the flyleaf choose anus
ing incidents and quotations as much
as possible.

There are varieties of wasps which

Bees are among the most expert

The ant lions are remarkable archi-

FOOTBALL WITH EGGSHELL,

Choose Sides and Then Commence to
Blow With Full Lung Power.
Make the football by making a tiny
hole in each end of the shell and blow
ing out the contents, and then mark
boundaries or the table field with tape
or chalk, having two ends of the table
for goals. Each side elects a captain,
and then the fun begins. At a given
signal both sides or teams begin to
blow upon the eggshell, that has been
placed in the center of the field. Each
side tries, Of course. to blow the egg
toward his goal. No player must leave
his place, and it is Il most rigid rule
never to move the ball by any other
way than blowing. For so doing a
player is sen from the field, as in the
actual game. Regular football rules
are used, and the score is kept as in
the real game. Each of the two teams
should have Il name, either ridiculous
or after some Of the colleges or
schools. This always adds interest to
the contest. Old and young equally
enjoy the game, especially If they un-
derstand football tactics and rules.

ONE DIRECTION AT POLES.
At Earth's Pivotal Points You Look
Either North or South.

If you stand at the north pole you
can look in only one direction-south-
No matter how you may twist around
on your neels, it is always toward the
south that your eyes are directed.
North as a terrestrial direction has
vanished. You have arrived at the end
of north. You are "where it lives"
Or else we may say that north has sud-
denly sprung into the sky and is now
at an unattainable distance directly
over your head. A moment before your
foot touched the pole north was
straight ahead of you, and you had all
the four cardinal points to choose from
east, west, north and south. Now
three of them have vanished and south
alone remains. The reverse is true at
the south pole, where all directions on
the earth's surface are alike north. In
view of these facts we may speak Of
the north and south poles as the lends
Of the earth" They are the two turn
ing points, arrived at either one Of
which there is no choice left but to
start toward the other.-New York;

TATHEN equal rights for women

but laws We're passed i'm
posing upon them the same duties
as men. They We're drawn as jurywo-
men and were eligible to sit on the
bench. Different experiments in jury
duty were tried, one Of which was the
making up Of a jury of mixed men
and women.
The case of Grace Fleming against
Francis IddlestOn for breach Of prom
Use attracted universal attention. The
law as it stood at the time required
that all cases of breach of promise
should be tried before a jury Of IN
married persons, six being males and
six females. There being a great rush
for admittance to heal the piquant
evidence that it was expected would
be brought out, a number Of young
men and women str0ve to be impan-
eled Oh the jury. The result was six
young men and six young women We're
drawn and accepted, all of whom
were Of the better class, and the
young women We're all good looking.
1t was proved conclusively on the
trial that Iddleston had proposed to
Miss Fleming and that she had accept
ed him, but the defendants counsel
brought in evidence to show that she
had been engaged to another man at
the same time. The judge charged
that if the jury were satisfied that the
defendant had proposed to the plain
tiff they were to return a verdict in
her favor. But if they We're satisfied
that the plaintiff had engaged herself
to another mar while she was engage
ed to 1ddleston they We're to find for
the defendant.
One of the jurymen gave an account
of the proceedings in the jury room
while a verdict was being considered,
Of which the following is a synopsis:
ION reaching the jury room we ar
ranged ourselves in q circle, men and
women being placed alternately, and
proceeded to consider the case. At first
there We're remarks from men and wo-
men alike. but gradually the men drop
ped out Of the discussion, leaving it to
the women. Two women considered
Iddleston's offer binding ON him; two
women considered that he was absolv-
ed by Miss Fleming's being engaged to
another man, while the other two jury
women took the ground that Mr.. Iddle-
ston had been treated very badly by
the plaintiff.
''The discussion on the part Of the
jurywomen lasted SO long that some
of us began to yawn. First one wom-
an, then another dropped out of it un-
til but n woman remained to combat
for her opinion. Then one Of the wo-
men asked another if she had seen the
new skirt. This switched the CONVEX
sation on to another track than the
case in question, and in a few minutes

SPANISH BOY SCOUTS.

Eleven thousand scouts in Spain
carry on a very similar program to
that of the Boy Scouts of America,
The handbook of the boys bears the
name EstatuOs de In Association Ca
tolica de Scouts de Espana. Madrid, the
capital, has 5000 scouts. The spread
ing of scouting in that country is an
other instance that Spain is waking up
and getting ready to take her place
again among the nations which in re-
cent years have outstripped her in edu-
cation. There is no doubt that scouting
is spreading like wildfire all over the
world, and it is confidently expected
that it will be an entering wedge in
many countries for new ideals of citi-
zenship and boy notwithstanding.

An Obstinate Jurywoman
BY EUGENE D. NEWELL

the wOmen We're debating the fashions.
seeing an opportunity, we men began
to consider the breach of promise case.
We discovered that we all agreed that
the woman. having been engaged to
another during the time she was en-
gagged to Iddleston, had no claim.
I'VE announced to our fellow jury
women that half Of the jury were
agreed on u verdict, requesting the
other half to follow our example. They
Mt once turned their attention to the
matter in point, but as there were
three different opinions among them
and each woman stoutly maintained
her W view time passed without a
verdict. AT g O'Clock in the evening
supper was brought In, and after that,
since the women could not agree and
were tired Of the subject, we paired
or, each MAJ with a woman, and sat
flirting till 10 o'clock, when we were
marched off to separate hotels for the
night.
"The next day a messenger went
from us with a note to the judge, who,
supposing it to contain a question Of
law, called the court together. His
honor was much astonished at a re-
quest for a clergyman. Since there
was no reason for denying the request
a dominic was sent to us, and two of
our number We're married.
"There is something contagious about

Religious Work
Twain on Wars Horrors.

'~'' VII VV&s
DIR. Henry Neumann in an address
at the Brooklyn Society For Ethical
Culture quoted from an unpublished
article by Mark Twain on the subject
of war. He said:
"A few years before his death Mark
Twain wrote an article entitled The
Wal Prayer 1t describes how a regi-
ment gathers in a church before it de-
parts for the war and prays for VIC
tory. AS the prayer concludes a white
robed stranger enters the church and
says: 1 have been sent by the Almighty
to tell you that he will grant your Pc
tition if You still desire it after l have
explained to you its full import. You
are asking for more than you seem to-
be aware Of. You have prayed aloud
for victory yer your foes, but listen
now to the %unspoken portion Of your
prayer and ask yourselves If this is
what you DESIRE
linen the stranger speaks aloud
these implications of their words: %
Lord, help us to tear the soldiers Of
the foe to bloody shreds with our
shells; help us to cover their smiling
fields with the pale forms of their pa
triot dead; help us to lay waste their
humble homes with a hurricane of fire:
help us to wiring the hearts of their
u~nOffending widows with unavailing
grief. Blast their hopes, blight their
lives, water their way with their tears
MARI Twain never published this
article. His friends told him it would
be regarded as sacrilege. Is it really
sacrilege to say that men cannot pray
for victory in war without asking for
these inevitable implications of their
petition? What would it mean If we
remembered this when the war spirit
is abrOad!"
