FOR DRIPPING D

Everybody who has watched candles
in a draft knows what troublesome
things dripping candles are.
If they stand on the dinner table
they make pools of melted wax on the
cloth that later hardens. But unless
it is very carefully removed after it
has become absolutely cold it leaves
Il stain on the cloth for many days
perhaps forever.
If the burning candles stand on Il
wooden surface the Inconvenience OF
splotches of melted "a hardening
into fantastic shapes. is equally great.
There are little disks of glass. pierre
ed in the center With Il hole the size
of the ordinary candle. made to catch
this melting grease. They are perhaps
two and Il half inches or three inches
across. and they are made with rd-es
slunting slightly upward, so that they
serve as Sn,lcerS.
TO adjust them slip them over tho
candle after it is firmly secured in the
candlestick or else thrust the lower
end of the candle through them before
putting it in the stick.
They come in several different de-
signs-some with scallopeu edges, some
with Il Roman key engraved as Il Dor
der, some with Il tiny star Sprinklcd
over their surface. They cost from :;
dollar Il dozen up and can be used Oh
glass or silver candicstickS.

General Postmaster

A very interesting game to play is
general postmaster The players sit
around the room in a large circle and
after appointing a postmaster to write
down their names and call out the
changes chooses each Il town. One of
the players is then bllndfolled aud
placed in the middle.
The game begins when the postmaS-
ter calls IL the first journey. The
post is going from New York to San
Francisco. The player who has chosen
New York and the player who llas
chosen San Francisco must then
change places without being caught 10y
the blind man or without letting him
get into either OF their chairs first.
otherwise the player who is caught, OF
who ought to be in his chair, becomes
the blind man. Every now and then
general postmaster is called. when
all the players have to change seats ut
the same time. and this gives the blind
man an excellent chance.

WILD ALL THROUGH.
The American Bay Lynx is an Animal
That Can't Be Tanned,

INC american DAY Lynx Is an Animal
That Can't Be Tanned.
We call him the American wildcat,
although he is of a different species
from the wildcat of Europe. His real
name is bay lynx. and he is closely
associated with that other animal OF
America. the Canadian lynx. The Eu-
ropean wildcat is really the ancestor
Of the domestic cat. but you can't
domesticate the bay lynx of America.
He is wild all the way through.
He gets his front name from his co.'s
or. which is a yellowish brown or bay.
His tail is short. which has given him
another name-bobcat. Unlike most
cats, he is Il good swimmer, and his
hind feet are partly webbed.
The bay lynx %frequents mountain
woodlands in the less settled portions
of America. and sometimes he makes
his presence dreaded by his raids OIL
poultry. He is also a persistent rob-
her of birds nests, and he will eat
both birds and eggs. He will also de-
our squirrels. rabbits. wild turkeys
and anything that isn't too big for him
to kill.
His appetite for animals has led peo-
pie to fear him, although he will sell
dom attack human beings-only when
he thinks he has to defend himself.
He usually builds a nest OF moss and
leaves in a hollow tree.-Philadelphia

Fashions and the Household
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
Suggestions For Making Feb. % Party
Ideal.

JOcOl.
In giving hints for Washington's
birthday celebrations Elizabeth w.
Morrison writes in the Housckeeper:
"Dainty souvenirs can be made at
home and also ice or cream cups.
Small wicker baskets, costing 5 cents
apiece, can be trimmed with paper
cherries and foliage. a. paper lace
dolly fitted in the basket holds Il hand
full of calldieu cherries. Glass sher-
bet cups incased with daintily made
paper petals or cherry foliage tied to
the stem with cherry OF rose ribbon
make dainty receptacles for cranberry
OF cherry ice or strawberry frozen
cream.
Colonial hats or buff and blue and
p%aStehoard drums are %cleverly designed
for bonbonS or cake. The former can
be made of circles or double faced
paper pasted on to little paper cups.
then pasted up on three sides. one
ornamented with Il cockadc. Even the
ordinary family meals on this day can
be made attractive by molding such Il
commonplace dessert as blanc mango
in cups decorated with candicd cherries
cut heart shape and the cream sauce
tinted & delicate pink. Apple sauce
and plain cream, colored with cram
berry juice and frozen. make a lie
licious combination. Served in glasses
with cherry and Il piece OF citrOn for
foliage on top. they will bring Il festive
atmosphere to the plaincst meal.
The cherry and Ratchet are still ia
vored as decorations for the Washing
ton birthday party, and stores are
bountifully supplied with novelties fol
this season. The woman who invests
in several punches of cherries at the
bargain counter is wise. for she may
use them for some future affair Of this
kind. 4 buff and blue jardiniere packed
with sand has a branch OF a tree stand

are hung cherries and their foliage

You can have success with grapefruit
seeds by taking Il few precautions,
When planting these seeds do not keep
amy that have been cut. Then before
planting the seeds should be soaked
for one day or ut least for half Il day.
Fill the receptacle up to within hree
quarters of an inch of the top with dirt
mixed with IL little sand. on which
place the seeds SO tllirkly that no soil

Then cover with dirt and keep in a

They are both beautiful and hardy and

A Place For the Boys and Girls
LEARNED FROM A DONKEY.
How a Boy Was Shown a Lesson In
Consideration.

Consideration.
John and James We're 1ramping
through IL dusty lane one day when
they spied Il little toad in the road.
Look, look" exclaimed John. Here
is Il toad. Let's stone him."
"Why:" asked james. lie isn't
hurting YOU. is he
NO; but it would be fun to see him
Jump. Come ON. see it you can aim
straight"
James felt that it would be wrong to
hurt the innocent thing. but John had
often called him baby" and Coward
SO to avoid II repetition of these re-
marks he took up Il stone II was
about to throw it when Il donkey cart
came up the lane. The cart was we'll
laden, and the donkcy's burden vas
heavy, but the donkey trudged on, his
head down, and thus it happened that
the animal spied the toad almost under
his foot. He stopped short and kept
his foot up until the toad hoped safe
~ out OF his way. Then the donkey
moved on with his load.
james dropped the stone without at
tempting to aim.
"Rehuked," he cried. ''rebuked by Il
donkey. l say. John, that donkey has
more horse sense than you and L.
YES" answered John, blushing for
shame, that donkey has taught us Il
lesson in kindness to dumb creatures"

Needs No Lightning Rod.

\ building 5000 feet above sea level
should be protected by lightning rods,
one thinks, but the astronomical Obser-
vatory at Mount Etna has not and
does not need such protection. The
observatory is near the summit Of the
volcano, and the stream Of vapor con-
stantly rising from the crater acts as a
natural conductor, draining the cleo
tricity out of the clouds, so that light.
ming is seldom seen there.

A Skin Tonic.

Salt is liner for the skin than any
OF known tonic if properly used.
The face should never be washed in
salt water when it is not properly
clear, for salt is in the nature of an
aStringent and will contract the pores.
1t is excellent for enlarged pores. and
the solution will act aS a veritable
stimulant to the whole skin.

Belts In Favor.

Belts are in high favor again, which
is probably due to the fact that most
of the frork> and skirts have tile trim
normal waist line.
They range in width from two to six
inches and in many cases are much
wider.
Patent leather is much in favor for
the new belts. and it is shown in vari-
GUS c%oloringS combined with black ~
white. One beautiful wide belt Of soft
crllsllnblc white kid had Il shaped in
set piece of blue patent leather ut each
side. There was Il long narrow buckle
of white kid.
Another wide belt OF white kid had
a large buckle Of white kid and red
patent leather trimmings. Another wide
belt of white kid had trimmings ot
brown suede.
