A Flower Game.
Slips of paper are handed about to
each guest with pencils. . Then the
leader , standing in the center of the
room , .reads. from a pad prepared for
the purpose charades like the follow
ing : .
My first is as sharp as needles ; icy
second as soft as down.
The answer , thistledown , is written
by. as many as can guess it in the limit
of time given , which should not be
over three minutes.
This is followed by similar sugges
tions , such as :
My first is made in a dairy , but sel
dom served in my second. Answer-
Buttercup.
My first wears my second on his
head. Coxcomb.
My first dislikes to do my second
when he is callc'd in the morning.

second a red breasted bird. Ragged
robin.
My first we all like to eat ; my second
end is a cluster. Candytuft.
My first you do when you wed ; my
second is a yellow metal. Marigold.
Many more may bo thought of , and
it would be better to prepare the list
beforehand. The object is to be the
first to think of the proper flower. The
one giving the most correct answers in
advance of the others receives a prize.
Tha Game of PuHyhaulIy.
This is an oid Greek game : ind , like
very many simple boys' games , has
retained its popularity to the present
day. Its Greek name was rather a
jaw crackinj ? one , but may be literally
translated by "pullyhaully. " It con
sists of two parties of boys , who 'are
chosen on different skies by lot. One
party takes hold of one end of a strong
rope and the other party of the other
end. A mark being made midway be
tween the two parties , each strives to
pull the otl/er over it. and those who
are so pulled over lose the game.
In tins' game two leaders should be
appointed , who must calculate the
powers of their own side and concert
plans accordingly. The leader of ei
ther side should have a codu of sig
nals in order to communicate with his
own friends , that he may direct them
when to stop , when to slacken or
when to pull hard. So important ia
the leader's oflice that a side with a
good lender will always vanquish a
much superior force which has no
commander to guide it.
Running Maze A Game.
The players should form in a long
line , one behind the other. The leader
starts running and is followed by all ,
the rest. They must be sharp enough
to do exactly as the leader does. After
running for a moment or two in the !
ordinary step the leader changes to a
hoppiutr step , then to a marching step ,
quick time , then to a marching step ,
ulow time , claps , runs with hand on
sides or shoulders or any other man
ner which may occur to him. |
Finally the leader runs slowly round
and round into the center and can cither - i
ther wind the line up tightly or can . '
turn them on Hearing the center and
run out again. This is a nice game
for an outdoor party.
Conundrums.
Why Is coal the most contradictory
article known to commerce ? Because
when purchased instead of going to
the buyer it" goes to the cellar.
What is the difference between a
tube and a foolish Dutchman ? One
is a hollow cylinder , the other is a sil

What "ar * they which , though al

Toasts.
What word of three syllables speci

A Simple Trick.
The man who cut one hole in liis
door for the cat and another for the
kitten would find it ditlicult to pass a
nickel through a hole the size of a
dime cut in a stout piece of paper.
This explains how easily it can be
done. Fold the paper across the cen
ter of the hole , place the nickel in the
fold and bend the lower corners of the
paper upward. This elongates the
opening , and the coin falls through.
Two Flowers. .
The dahlia was named after An
drew Dahl. a Dnnis h botanist , who
was a pupil of Linua'eus. The flower
is a native of Mexico , but was first
cultivated in Europe by Dahl. It was
taken to England about 1804. The
word daisy is a corruption of "day's
eye , " as the pretty flower used to be
called. The old English , form was

Mystery cf Lost Jewels
Shrewdly Revealed.
Young Edgar Desmond , desiring to
move in the swim of society and real
izing that without a fortune he must
be able to make soaae return for invi
tations , cast about for a method of
doing so. lie could not sing or play on
any musical instrument He could not
lead the cotillion. One thing he could
do he could work tricks of sleight of
hand. By this means he gradually got
invited to the best houses.
One evening Edgar attended a large
ball glveiTDy one of society's magnates.
He was standing in a room crowded
with people when suddenly he saw a
hand passed between two people and
a pearl necklace dropped from it into
a fold of a lady's dress , which formed
a sort of pocket. The lady who was
the involuntary recipient of the jewels
was Miss Rosa Mainwaring , the daugh
ter of a rich banker.
Now , Desmond was one of those self
contained fellows with an"eye constant
ly to business who always get on. In
a twinkling he had formed a plan to
turn what he had seen to great ad
vantage. A thief had doubtless pur
loined , the necklace and for some rea
son had been obliged to get rid of it.
This reason was soon explained. Hear
ing a commotion in the hall , Desmond
went there and found one of Uio
guests , liobert Chamberlin. a young
man of irreproachable character , be
ing searched by a private detective
for the necklace which had been mo
mentarily laid off in the ladies' rob
ing room and had disappeared. A
maid had reported seeing a man in
the robing room when no one else was
there answering to the description of
Chamberlin. Of course the jewels
were not found.
The detective retired in confusion.
Nevertheless the news of the accusa
tion soon spread , and Chamberlin
found himself in a very unenviable
position. Desmond sought the hostess
and said , to her :
"If you will permit me to entertain
some of your guests by a few sleight
of hand , tricks I think I can add to
the eclat of your ball. " \
"Certainly. Mr. Desmond. I would ,
have suggested it myself , but did netlike
like to trespass.on your amiability. "
Ten minutes later a number of
guests were assembled in the music
room. " 2dgar mounted a - platferm
used for musical purposes and delight
ed them with his magic.
"The next trick , " said Edgar , "I
call the lost necklace. Perhaps you do
not all know that Mrs. Worth has lost
a valuable pearl necklace. "
A painful constraint fell on the audi
ence.
"Magic is worthless if it can't re
store stolen property. In other words ,
this necklace is not in the possession
of a thief , but of an estimable ladjj
whose integrity is unquestioned. "
The constraint was turned into a
surprised 'expectancy.
"Let me see , " tapping his forehead
and closing his oyes. "Twice four are
eight , which , being divided by two.
gives four. In a fold of the dress of
the fourth lady sitting in the eighth
row of chairs the necklace will be
found. "
Stopping down from the platform.
Edgar advanced to Miss Mainwarfcig
and , putting his hand into the fold ,
took out the necklace , held it aloft ,
then handed it to the lady who had
lost it. .
There was a clapping of hands , not
very expressive of appreciation of Ed
gar's skill , but of rejoicing at the dis
covery that the whole affair was a
trick. Nevertheless Edgar was blamed.
"That fellow will stop at nothing , "
said one.
"Some day he'll get himself in trou
ble with his tricks , " said another.
"He had no business , " said a third ,
"to use any guest for the purpose of
displaying his skill without that guest's
permission. "
"Have I your pardon , " said Edgar to
Miss Mainwariug , "for placing the
necklace with you ? "
Miss Main waring granted the par
don , but with no good grace.
Edgar sauntered away , as though in
different to the effect he had produced ,
but as soon as he got out of the room
he hastened to the hostess and begged
her to assemble the three persons in
terested in a private room. When they ,
the hostess included , came together
Edgar closed the door and said :
"This matter of the necklace was
more serious than is supposed , and had
I not acted as I did it might have re
sulted very unpleasantly. The neck
lace was undoubtedly stolen , and I
saw a hand drop it in Miss Mainwar-
ing's dress. Had I revealed the fact
there are some who would have fancied
I wished to screen her and have sus
pected e'ei ' ) so Pure a person as she.
You. too. ir. Chamberlin , would have
remained under suspicion. By leading
the audience to believe that it was a
mere trick both these disagreeable fea
tures have been avoided , our hostess is
spared having had a cloud cast over
her ball , .while Mrs. Worth is repos
sessed of her property. I alone will
suffer with the guests for perpetrating
such a trick. "
Every one present looked at Edgar
with astonishment , mingled with ad *
miration at his unselfishness.
When the affair came to the cars of
Miss Maiuwaring's father , he deter
mined at once to aval ! himself of the i
services of a young man with such '
sjroat ability in graspiujr exigencies. I j
Edgar not only eventually became his | <
'
partnor/'but' married bis daughter. '
