In and Out of the Children's Playroom
EVER PLAY "ACID DROPS?"
It Creates Whole Lot of Merriment
at a Party.

It Creates a Whole Lot of Merrment
at Party.
Let the company sit in two rows,
facing each other, the ladies in one
row and the gentlemen opposite them.
Two leaders must be nominated, Of
whom one, a lady, walks along behind
the row Of gentlemen, and whispers
to each a serious question, which they
must in turn address later to their
vis-a-vis.
The gentleman leader walks behind
the row of ladies and to each whispers
something of a perfectly absurd, or
very biting character, which each must
repeat in answer to the question ask
ed Of her by her opposite. Neither
leader must know anything Of the
questions or answers proposed.
The gentleman at the head of his
row, then, at given signal asks with
due gravity of the lady opposite to
him the question that was given to
him. She will reply, with equal grav-
tty, in the exact words Of the answer
that has been given her. Question and
answer must be repeated thrice with
out the shadow Of smile.
The next couple then take up the
task, and so on until every couple has
gone through the ordeal. Failure in
any respect whatever puts the person
out of the game.
This game is so popular that an en-
core is sometimes demanded. In that
case the ladies will ask the questions
given by the gentleman leader and the
gentlemen give the answers prompted
by the lady leader.

Toilet Hint.

Eau de cologne is splendid in rene
dying a defect from which many suf-
fer-a too shiny, greasy skin. If your
face gets shiny you can never look
your best, and, however much you pow
der it, the shininess will reappear.
But If you wash your face in the
mornings in cold water to which a tea
spoonful Of eau de cologne has been
added you will find this tendency to
shininess disappear. With some peo-
pie the regular use Of oatmeal for sof-
tening the water effects a cure, but
the eau de cologne recipe is not such a
bother, for you require to sew the oat-
meal up in tiny muslin bags and allow
it to soak in the water some little time
before you use it.

At that moment there was a sound
below, which the imagination of Mr..

"They're getting him." he said
'Poor felloww exclaimed Mrs. Inger-

They went to the guest room and
turned on light. The drawer in ques-

gone. On the lace cover of the dresser
was bit Of paper on which was
scrawled in pencil:

ODDITIES IN NAMES.
The Old English Puritans INDUCED In
Some Curious Freaks.

The Old English Puritans INDUCED In
Some Curious Freaks.
Referring to an article on the un-
usual Christian name as an aid to
fame, correspondent kindly submits
some specimen names for perplexed
parents.
In 1878 London journal announced
the marriage of lady whose first
name was-take deep breath-Tetu-
anuireiaiteruiatea, but it omitted to
mention what she was called in the
bosom Of the family. Among the Dub.
lin marriage licenses, too, the name
AtleanadiOlagra occurs. And as lately
as 1895 Dorinda Cassandra appeared
in the London Times. With such names
one could hardly fail to get into the
papers.
Odd combinations Of names resulted
from the system of nomenclature fol-
lowed by the Puritans. James Bronze
in his "Travels Over England. Scotland
and Wales,' published in 100, gives
a copy Of Jury Return Made at
Rye, Sussex, in the Late Rebellious,
Troublesome Times" The names of
the twelve good men and true were
Meek Brewer, Graceful Harding, Kill
sin Pimple, Earth Adams, Weep-not
Billing, More Fruit Fowler, Hope-for
Bending, Return Spelman, Fly Debate
Roberts, Stand Fast on High Stringer,
Be Faithful Joiner and Fight the Good
Fight Of Faith White.

was awakened in the night
H1 by sound on the floor be-
low. Starting up in bed, she
exclaimed sharply:
whats that?"
Her husband having been awakened
listened for few moments, then asked
impatiently:
swell, what is it,"
"Burglars.''
''Nonsense!'
Pm certain of it."
There was another sound, which was
this time heard by Mr.. Ipgersoll. He
got out of bed and, putting on his trou-
sers, opened the door, went out into the
hall and turned on an electric light, H.
Eliminating the figure of man. The
fellow put his finger to his lips, at the
same time throwing open his coat and
displaying a policeman's badge. STEP
ping up to Ingersoll, he whispered:
Turn out that light quick"
1ngersoll turned the button. He did
not need any explanation, for it was
plain that there was something wrong
on the premises and cop was at work
with a view to righting it. Neverthe-
less he asked in whisper:
whats the matter?'
eve got wind today that Handy
Andy, this crook who is going about
getting into houses and leaving polite
notes after taking the valuables, was
intending to do you tonight and we've
laid a trap for him.
you'd better look out. I've read a
lot in the papers about that fellow.
He's mighty slippery; he may get you

''Never fear for that. I've got the

ing a few moments.
True enough; he's laying low. It's
too bad you turned on that light. He
may have been frightened. But it
makes no great difference, for as soon
as he leaves the house he will step into
the arms Of one of my men. 1 would
advise you to go back to your room, to
bed for that matter. I'm Inspector
Haynes. Perhaps you've heard Of me.
I much prefer to handle this matter
without any interference"
ooh, yes, I've heard of Inspector
Haynes. Every one knows about him. -
BY this time Inspector Haynes had
gently pushed Ingersoll to the door
through which he had come from his
bedroom and, opening it, urged him in.
AS soon as this was accomplished he
shut the door.
"What is it," asked Mrs. Ingersol]
nervOusly.
"Hush!''
Ingersoll went to the bed, treading
softly, and sat down on it; then, put.
ting his lips near his wife's ear, he
whispered:

Domestic Hints.

Never use linen to clean mirrors or
windows, as it sheds lint and often
causes streaks.
Wash linoleum and oilcloth with
lukewarm water, then polish it with a
soft wooden cloth which has been dip
ped in milk.
Use no soap on window glass. Use
old muslin and clean, soft water. A
cotton cloth dipped in a little alcohol
will add brilliancy to the final rub.
If white of egg is applied with a
small camelshair paint brush to fly
specks on gilt frames, then rubbed
gently with a soft cloth the specks
will disappear.

Fringe as TRIMMING,

Fringes Of many sorts are still used.
Some Of the newest skirts show an
edging of fringe at the bottom. There
is silk corded fringe that is often
used with faille, and there is fringe
made Of strands of beads that is used
good deal on evening frocks.

Call For Great Revival.

The Federal Council OF the Churches
of Christ In America, which recently
published statistics showing an unusual
gain in church membership in the past
year, issued a call to prayer for a
worldwide revival, urging the churches
not to be satisfied with the gains Of the
past year.
The "call'' says that the spiritual ad.
vance of the church has always been
marked by revivals, and adds:
''The situation in our country is from
a spiritual viewpoint at critical stage.
Processing Christians are not active in
winning men to Christ. The situation
abroad, where professedly Christian
nations are killing men by millions, is
such that only a great revival of true
religion can bring peace. The church
es are urged to prayer for all nations
and their rulers and for a revival
among all church members as we'll as
those who are in spiritual darkness"
Christians In Japan Start Campaign.
Japanese Christians throughout the
empire have begun an organized evan

cans; Heaselet. an Englishman, and
Mackenzie, Canadian
The movement started in Tokyo with
union prayer meeting in the Young
Mems Christian association hall.

Religious
Missionaries Wait In Hone.

The Rev. DR.. James L. Barton, Sec
rotary Of the American board Of COM
missioners for foreign missions, issued
bulletin dealing with conditions in
Turkey, as disclosed in letters received
from missionaries in that country. In
part this says:
I'VE have received between twenty
and thirty letters from missionaries in
Turkey, covering Trebizond, Erzroom,
Van, Bitlis, Harpoot, Mardin, Aintab,
Adana, Marash, Sivas, Smyrna, Con-
stantinople, Marsovan and Saloniki.
All report the situation as quiet, and
many Of them speak Of sister stations
In the same way.
1--WE have no fear that the storming
of Smyrna will bring danger to the mis-
sionaries there, as undoubtedly, in case
of bombardment of the city, the mis-
sionaries will withdraw to the college
grounds outside of the city, where the
American flag will be put up and prob
ably the United States consul general
will make his headquarters there dur
ing the bombardment. At CONSTANT
nople Robert college has been selected
as the place of rendezvous in case the
city is bombarded.
mo fear has been expressed in any
letter Of any possible attack on the
missionaries. The Turks have made
attacks on the Greeks in the Smyrna
district and on the rear side of Smyr
ma which have been at times very
cruel, and there has been some clash
ing among Turks of the war party and
the peace party at Constantinople. the
peace party being the stronger. but
! without much leadership, while the
war party has all the German officers
and the army and navy on its side.
"The reports do not indicate any spe-
cial physical suffering on the part of
| the missionaries. The American board
| is getting money to all mission sta
| tons readily and is sending, in addi.
| ton to that sent for the support Of the
work, considerable sums for relief
| eve of the American board have no
| fear that Russian control of parts of
Turkey will materially interfere with

and increasing liberality in the last ten
years, and we have every reason to be-
lieve that the outcome of the war will
result in large measure in a greater
liberalization Of Russian administra-
ton and in advancing the kingdom IF

never written in more hopeful tone
