AMUSE THE KIDDIES.
How to Play the "cEt-out" Game With
the Youngsters.

How to Play the "cEt-out" Game With
the Youngsters.
Mothers are often at their wits end
to know what to do with convalescing
children. During this trying time it
takes much ingenuity to keep them in
terested.
One of the most pleasurable things
to boy and girl alike is the cut-out
game. 1t is as old as the hills and yet
has kept its newness and interest to
this day. The boy will scorn the ordi-
nary cut-out play, but give him first
blank book, then a catalogue from
sporting firm, a pair of scissors and a
bottle of glue and tell him to furnish
you summer camp in the Adiron-
dacks, such as he would like to live in;
then suggest that he fix up a scene in
Canada in the winter time, with ski
ing, skating, and so on.
The way to interest the little chap
is to excite his imagination first. De-
scribe to him in detail the interior.
then the exterior, of camp in the
woods; then tell him to cut out from
the catalogue all the pictures which
have anything to do with tent life.
These include guns. fishing rods. boats.
cooking utensils. cots. etc. Clothing
for summer camping will probably be
illustrated by pictures of men or wom-
en- dressed in these garments. These
figures may be grouped round fire
or standing in a canoe or climbing the
mountains.
When the child has a number of IL
Illustrations cut out let him use his in
genuity to furnish the scene. Much
can be done if the mother can draw a
bit. In such case she could outline
on the first page the inside of bare
tent, to be furnished by the child. On
the second page could be the outside
of the tent, with the mountain in the
background and lake at one side.
Further interest can be added to this
game by giving the little one a set of
crayons with which to color the pic
tured scenes. Water colors are a Joy
to children if they can be arranged in
such way that the water will not
spill. An excellent way to do this is
to give the child sewing board.
Where the board is cut out in curve
1t will fit into the body, and the paints
may be placed on its fat surface with
no danger of upsetting them.
The wise mother saves her old mag
azines and catalogues for the time
when her children may need them.

Colonial Closets.

b In a quaint old colonial cottage are
many closets, few if any of them To-
Gated according to modern notions OF
convenience. The clothes closet that
ought to be in the spare room up
stairs is downstairs in the library
with the spare-room bureau; the up
stairs closets are under the caves of
the sloping roof-the way to utilize
them to the best advantage is to enter
on your hands and knees, carrying an
electric torch between your teeth. In
side the closet you turn on your back,
illuminate the pendant garments with
your torch, drag whatever you select
down from the hook, grasp it firmly
with your teeth. and so out again on
your hands and knees, rolling the cleo.
trio torch gently before you. We see
now why in those good old days chests
Of drawers were popular-fortunately
we have one Of our own that somehow
has !Spt up the. stairway; and we see
also, as we begin to settle into it,
what Is perhaps the secret of this
humber colonial architecture. The
Colonial Jack who built this house
wanted some rooms round chimney
and a roof that. the snow would slide.
off; and so he built it; and wherever
he found space he made a, closet or
a cupboard; and because he had no
other kind, he put in small.paned win
dows; and all he did was substantial
and honest-and beautiful in its
humble way, by accident. 4.

When pruning the roses, use all cut

GROWING NUNS NOT LUCK i
BY HELEN WATTS M'vEY

B.
There is no luck in growing chrysan-
themums; just care and common
sense, and a right smart amount of
work and looking after. The plant
will grow without care, and bloom;
but it does SO wonderfully much bet
ter with care that it pays to give it..
The greater part of the work is now
done-the growing, the pinching-into-
shape, the disbudding, and we are now
ready to anticipate. Do not let the
plant set too many buds, keep clean
from insects, give plenty of water and
fertilizers, and stake up from the raw
ages Of the autumn winds.
y If the plants are still in the border,
lift the pot. after days soaking of
the soil. Take the plant up after
sunset or as late as it can be done,
give thorough watering and shower
ing the tops, and set away in the dark
ness of the cool cellar for few days
until it RECEIVERS from the shock. Do
not water while in the darkness, and
bring gradually to the light. -. :
1t is a good way, after the plant
has about Strengthened up, to set it
out in the dew of the night, returning
1t each morning to the cellar :
Do not neglect to provide for the
late fall flowers. Cosmos are fine,
but too often the frost catches them.

diet OF Finland gave to women who
paid taxes the vote on municipal mat
tiers in 1S63-that is, to those who
lived in the country or the small towns
and villages. In 1872 this was extend
ed to taxpaying women who lived in
cities. In 1906 there was a great up
rising Of the Finnish people, and the
car OF Russia granted a. new con-
stitution to Finland; the parliament
tary suffrage was granted to women
by the first. diet that assembled there
after. B Many good laws have been
enacted since the granting of equal
suffrage in Finland, but as all laws
can be vetoed by the Russian imperial

BEST MEAL OF THE WEEK
On Sunday Evening Everybody Gets
What He or She Wishes, and
Enough to Satisfy.

Sunday evening supper is the best
meal of the whole week, If 1t is just
the ordinary kitchen Sunday evening
supper and not the fancy sandwich,
chatting dish, hot chocolate, musical,
literary, high-brow kind. There may
have been chicken for dinner or a
roast and gravy and. 1hince pie, and
nobody is very hungry. At least every
body thinks he is not hungry until he
gets into the kitchen.
~ Gust put the things on the table
and everybody help themselves"
mother says. 1t is not grammatical,
but 1t is the way she says it, and the
best way to say it. And everybody
does help themselves" father and

or eight children, all round the table
and the sink and the ironing board.
sitting on the radiator and the hreless
cooker.
IA Maybe father decides that he will
make pancakes, and nothing Is more
fun than watching father cook. May
be mother consents to stir up some
mush. Mush isn't. so much to eat, but
it is nice to watch her make it. May.
be you just pick the meat of the
chick bones, and everybody gets
his fingers or his spoon in the pot OF
dumplings and gravy.
81 At, any rate everybody gets exactly
the thing that tastes best to him and
Sunday evening supper in the kitch-
en- isSthe only time and place where
you can get that. If you like mus
tard, you have mustard; If you like
chilli sauce, you have chilli sauce: If
you like strawberry preserves, you
have strawberry preserves. 1t has
been years and years since there was
ever more than one kind Of spread"
or relish" on the dinner table.
The only trouble is that the family
eats much more than 1t ever eats In
the dining room, and there is never
anything left over for Monday. Some
housekeepers would not permit a
Sunday evening supper in the kitchen
for anything. They put the chicken
or roast away for Monday, and serve
bread and milk or teakettle tea at the
dining table. That kind of Sunday
evening supper is no good at all, and
must not be confused with the help
yourselves, everybody-in-the-pot sort.

~, Twenty years after the Civil war Grant while
on his dying bed said: ''The greatest general

take Grant twenty years to realize the greatness
of Lee; he had been brought to a full realization
of this fact early in May 1864, when their armies
met in the Wilderness. 'T %E

even these things many that we could
do without; and lastly we cut the
things we had to have right down to
the bone. 4,. s.l}s- ss--
with all these sacrifices, changes
and revisions we finally got our ex.
penses down on paper below our re-

practice it didn't work out that way.

have, even on our smaller means, a
little surplus, we still had every week
little shortage, It never struck me
where that leak was till one day it
came to me all of sudden that had
forgotten to figure into our expenses
the cost of our. sons watches! &h
"Our boy, like most boys at the

hard on watches as our boy, is. He
regulates his watch about seven times

moves the hands. '. al
"Once in while he takes the works
out of watch, but have never yet
known him to put them back. Free
quently he drops his watch; as likely I;
as not on the floor. In one way and
another he uses up two or three
watches a week, an average of a
dozen a month"; and whenever he
broke his watch he would come to me
for new one and I would give him
the money freely. ~ q vi 4&& h. s.
%"But, cheap as these watches are,
we couldn't possibly do that much
longer now; and the question was
what should we do about it, for he
had got to have watch somehow; we
would sooner go without milk on the
table than ask our boy to go without
a watch in his pocket. Then I had
another bright idea, on which I am
now acting. 4 ~ ls9fsga +, Xxi: Il

Wheat Leaving VIadivostok.

The Russian government is, prepar-
ing to export through Vladivostok
100000 tons of wheat from the Omsk.
Siberia, district. where: there was q
large crop this year. Vladivostok has
no facilities for handling such an
amount of cargo. but as it is the only
port from which the shipment can be
made, temporary moorings and store
houses are being constructed. All tenn
porary moorings are to be connected
with the railways by spurs. Ware
houses covering 100000 square feet
were recently begun. This will In
crease the warehouse capacity of the
port by 100000 tons per month. There
will be required about fifty ships, de-
pending of course on their size, and
it will probably take two months to
ship the $4,000 tons. A number OF
large Britisfs. ships have arrived at
Vladivostok from New York via the
Panama canal. - -
