The players, having selected a CON
ductor, seat themselves around her.
The conductor now gives to each mu-
steal instrument and shows how it is to
be played. When all are provided with
their imaginary instruments she orders
them to tune, so giving each musician
chance to make all sorts of noises.
Next the conductor waves an imag-
mary baton and begins to hum a lively
tune, in which she is accompanied by
the players. initiating the different
movements made in performing on her
supposed instrument. Every now and
then the conductor pretends to play an
instrument, and the player to whom 1t
belongs must instantly alter her move
ments for those Of the conductor and
continue to beat time till the conductor
abandons her instrument. Should a
player fail to take the conductors Of.

Monies, maintained by the railroads.
it is stated that on June 80 the total
number of railroad stockholders was
62ol22, covering 1,285 railroad com
panies, with an operated mileage of
257,211 miles.
The average holding per stock
holder, par value, was 1890 for the
United States as whole
The bureau indicates that the num-
Der of stockholders is less than CO.
l22, for the reason that "the same
individual may, and often does, hold
stock iii more than one railway. If
he is stakeholder in three railways,
he is reported by each of the three
railways and is counted three times in
making up the aggregate. In conse-
quence the number of individual rail-
way stockholders is smaller than the
totals here shown"

The football for this game is an
eggshell which has had the egg blown
out of it. The players sit around the
table, with their captains, who have
been previously chosen at each end.
There need not be eleven on each side,
as in a regular game, but any number.
Each captain chooses his side. Bound
aries are marked on the table with
chalk or tape, the two ends being the
goals. When all are ready the eggshell
is placed in the middle of the table, a
signal is given and the members of
each team blow the shell toward the
goal. No player can leave his place,
and the ''football'' must be moved en-
tirely by blowing. Regular football
rules are used, and the count is the
same as in football.

Gratitude and History.

The French consul general told New York meet Ing the other day that he didn't meet neuras in this -ountry, but found great sympathy with the allies In the course of his talk he said: Your country furnishes the one great incident in history of a great nation that has not forgotten what another country did for it in its hour Of need This interesting and we hope it is correct but 1t recalls of the queer circumstances of the present war.
 Here is a Frenchman referring proudly to the American Revolution. Now that important event in history involved bitter fighting against England. with which power the French now so closely tied One IS struck with the number of war parallel incidents and cases of British bravery that usually end with Waterloo where. a historic fact the fighting was between the two countries working together.
 How does it strike loyal Frenchman to read that The English troops French soil are fighting as plenddly as they did when they whipped the French? The Russians may reflect the attitude of the Eng fish and French in the Crimean war and so on The Turk has a chance, too do some thinking All in all It shows how strangely alters the relations of nations. Our closest national friends if they remain such. are the English from whom we fought ourselves free The traditional enemies France and England. are in q death struggle together.

Although he had lived the advanced age of S6 years and had long been in feeble health, the death of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria Hungary took the world by surprise. He had been suffering from a slight cold and reported by his physicians be improving. but pneumonia developed and the end quickly
 Emperor Francis Joseph was a member of the House of Hapsburg. He the of the Archduka Francis. of Francis L, of Austria. He called to the throne in lS4S succeeding his uncle Ferdinand l.. who had been forced to abdicate and reigned sixty eight years.
 In many respects the life of Emperor Joseph was stormy and his cup of family misfortunes was surely filled to overflowing. Calamity after calamity over took the members of his family His only son. Crown Prince Rudolph. found dead in a hunting lodge and the manner of his death officially revealed. Emperor Josephs brother, MaximiliaR, executed by the victorious Mexicans, and his wife Carlotta, became a hopeless lunatic Three or more other collateral relatives met with violent deaths In 1898 his consort Empress Elizabeth was assassinated at Geneva, Switzerland while landing from steamer In June 1914 Archduke Francis Ferdinand the nephew of Emperor Joseph and heir presumptive to the throne was assassinaed in the capital of Bosnia Several unsuccessful attempts made on the life Of Emperor Joseph but 1t remained him. almost alone of his immediate family to die natural death

 Some housewives have been led to believe that the cream Of tartar pow ders are the best goods to use. This IS a mistake. resulting no doubt from the constant efforts of the Twenty Million Dollar Baking Powder Trust to create a prejudice against all goods save their own.
