And the man high I I I er up presumably is the top card. ii i i + ' , ( t ( ! A liberal supply of sentimentalism Ss good for a man ; it keeps him froIr brooding over his non-performances. I A St. Louis man chewed up a $5 bil with a sandwich. At that it was about as cheap as a piece of meat of corre sponding size. Massachusetts woman wants. di- virce because her husband keeps a I I live lobster in the house. Well , what's : she been keeping ? And now a Beloit professor will tramp in the African wilds. How does he know those cannibals will be able to discriminate between a professor , and a missionary ? i i iI I ! A Chicago surgeon has discovered -Low to graft new extremities on the bodies of his patients. Science should , In this : way , be able to assemble a . ' man superior to the natural article. + A man who started to cure by fast- , fast- ing one of the ills that flesh is heirj to has made the discovery that it cured all ailments in his case. Hav I ing become defunct he is free front all t disease , even the fever called living. Because Chinese immigrants have been detained on Angel island , the Chinese residents have boycotted American goods. Just what their rea- I soning is , is difficult to understand. t , Evidently ; however , they are trying to I ' meet boycott with boycott. The thrifty Dutch also are buying I large amounts of American bonds and other securities for permanent and safe investment. The Netherlanders j are a canny folk , and when they make I a purchase of this kind it is pretty strong testimdny to the excellence of 4 the bargain. I . That Culebra cut is one of the great ) difficulties in constructing the Panama canal. Latest reports show that a vast . . ' . mass of stone and mud has dropped into the excavated channel , involving a whole lot of extra work. But this is - _ ' " one of the contingencies that had to be considered , and American pluck and perseverance will carry the job through in the face of all obstacles. Physicians have succeeded In mak ing the stethoscope and telephone so - sensitive that the heart beats of a pa- tient in London were distinctly trans- mitted to a seismologist on the Isle .of Wight. It is expected that this will , be of great use in enabling physicians to keep in more sensitive touch with their patients at all hours. The new battleship South Carolina lias returned to Norfolk after a trip at sea for target practise with a new record with big guns , having made sixteen bullseyes in sixteen shots with the twelve-inch weapons. With a score like that to their credit the I Jackies of the South Carolina must ! come pretty close to the champion- ; ship for good shooting. ( I : The ex-Shah of Persia appears to : have settled for himself at least the 1 problem of what to do with deposed monarchs. He is studying medicine and hopes soon to become a practising ; , physician. And that is a much more honorable and commendable proceed. ing than dwelling apart in sullen idle ness or plotting revolutions against his country. Some other "exes" might imitate his example with much 1 : I credit to themselves. s a E Of course it is guesswork as yet , and E no one will know the actual popula a tion of the United States until the e ; : . .decennial federal enumeration now in progress shall be completed.

The line has been called the I best paying stretch for its size in the' ; country. _ . ! - -'j. . , - ; - . . . . ; .r--- : " - - ' 7-:3 , : : : - : - : : : : : : ' ; ; ; : ; ; " : : : ; : ; - - : : - : " -T1HET : : : _ _ : : _ - : : _ _ . . . . - -.Jl . Il For the Hostess ! / - - , Chat on Interesting Topics of Many Kinds by ; . a Recognized Authority . , . Novel Announcement Dinner. There was a time but long since gone when a girl generally consid- ered June and October as the choice wedding month. They used to be called "bride's months , " but now Cupid is certainly working overtime for if letters are any indication there are to be many July and August brides. Weather does not seem to be taken , into consideration , time .nor season interferes with the busy little god of love. - An innovation in announcements Is always welcome and I am glad to tell of this one. Instead of a luncheon eight girls were asked to dinner , all unsuspecting the denouement. On go- I ing into the dining-room , though , the "jig" was up , as one girl very inele gantly but forcefully expressed it , for over the table hung a wedding bell. The table had been made from round to long for this occasion and down the aisle formed by wee artificial trees in porcelain jars such as are found in the favor department came a complete wedding party even to the flower girls , ring bearer , etc. The men of the party were in uniforms of cavalry men of the "U. S. " army and there were silk flags festooned upon the wall. The minister was in black with surplice and stole , and even a tiny gilt cross showed , while his open book bore the date of the approaching nup- tials in writing as perfect as copper plate. The color scheme was yellow , as befitted a cavalryman's bride. Every one was delighted. The doll's costumes were carried out entirely in crepe paper , except the bride's veil of tulle. After dinner the bell rang and "the man of the hour" appeared with a bunch of men who were to be in the bridal party. Mother Goose Party. . Masquerade and fancy dress parties are always delightful but of all the pleasant gatherings which I have at- tended , the Mother Goose party takes the lead. Invitations to the effect that "Mother Goose" will be pleased to welcome her goslings at the resi- dence of whoever gives the entertain- ment on such an evening , are sent out fully two weeks in advance. The re quest to come in costume representing some one of the characters found in "Mother Goose" can be written on a small card and inclosed in the envel- ope with the invitations. These In- vitations can be made very pretty if one can paint , by having little water color or pen and ink sketches on I them-such as little "Jack Horner" or the "Three Blind Mice" pursued by the "Farmer's Wife , " with her "Carving Knife. " : You may be sure after these notes have been sent out that there will be a ripple of excitement among the young people and Mother Goose melodies will be at a premium-those with colored illustrations In particu- lar. Great ingenuity can be'exer - 4 cised In getting up the costumes. At last the eventful night arrives and let us station ourselves In the hall and watch the guests as they come in. Most of the girls came without es- , ] corts for all were determined to keep I their identity a secret from brothers and sweethearts. "Mother : Goose , " the hostess , stands in the front parlor E and is soon welcoming a motley throng. "Old King Cole" was closely followed by "The Fiddlers Three. " "Little Red Riding Hood" was charm- Ing in her scarlet cape and carried a little basket filled with pandy Instead of the eggs and butter. The "Queen of Hearts" was radiant in a gorgeous costume. "Rain , Rain , Stay Away" ( was represented by a pretty blond , who carried'an immense red umbrel- la. "Little Boy Blue" dashed into the room , blowing his horn , carrying an immense sheep of cotton. Two girls exactly the same height came as twin "Bo Peeps" carrying gilded crooks and fans with the picture o : " ' Little-- "I'm - side with a sheep on one Bo Peep , " etc. , on the other. "Daffy- Down Dilly" was one of the best : characters represented. "Jack anq ? Jill" went hand in hand to get- the : "pail of water/ "Jack Horner" sat IE the proverbial corner and pulled out ; " "plums" from a gigantic "pie. "Humpty Dumpty" did not look any ' ; ! ' ' the" worse for the "great fall. . ' "MaryMary Quite Contrary" proved herself most agreeable and "Taffy , ; " of the most , the Welshman , was one popular characters in spite of his pro- pensity for stealing. When all the guests had arrived s ' Mother Goose , with old King Cole . . _ . . . .ti opened the grand march and the musics played merrily. A piano will do for the dancing , but the addition of at violin is a great improvement. Muck : merriment was occasioned when the masks were removed , which had bet- ter be done before the refreshments = are served. While the young people are home for the summer vacation , , like the some one may give a party , one described and I am sure it will be successful of course. The making isj not essential , but adds a . little spicej to the enjoyment. The refreshments ; ! need not be elaborate , but a largei ' bowl of lemonade should be conve- * niently placed where it will be easy ! : . . . . of access to all. . The Game of Nations. 1.
