Each player draws on the upper part of a slip of paper some fancy bead and folds it back, leaving just enough in sight to guide his left hand neighbor, who takes It and adds t body. Again the slips are handed HOW TO FOLD. on for the final addition of legs of any sort, some continuation being always indicated. Then these completed patchwork pic tures are thrown into a central bowl, shaken up, drawn out and passed round for inspection and merry criti cism. The folds are the dotted lines. The Human Melodeon. We have all beard of musical chairs, but have you ever heard of a human melodeon? To prepare for such a melodeon for an evening's entertain ment, select eight boys or girls who can remember the notes assigned them. The player plays on their heads as they kneel In a row, exactly as if they were notes of a piano, ex cept that to the audience the scale appears reversed. The tunes must be in the key of C, with no sharps or flats. As each head is struck with a mallet made of a ball of soft cotton on the end of a thin stick, the human note must sing his note, using the syllable "la." If his head is struck twice, he must repeat his note. "The Last Rose of Summer," begin ning ou lower C, is a good piece to play on this odd Instrument Squaring the Puzzle. ?On cardboard draw an equilateral tri angle, the larger the better. One of four inch side is a convenieat size. 42? Then cut it out and divide it by straight cuts into pieces that when re arranged will form a square. Cow That Turned a Faucet. On the Portland (Ore.) poor farm is said to be a cow that turned the faucet of the hydrant in the back yard and gave herself a drink when she wanted it. As she did not turn the water off when she had enough. It became neces sary to put on n different kind of fau cet, and when bossy came next day she was puzzled, hut she did not have to go to the river for a drink, for the matron, who had watched her, had a watering trough made. Into which a ?mall stream of cold water ran all the time. The Broken Octagon. Cut out In stiff cardboard four pieces shaped as Pig. 1. four as Fig. 2 and four as Fig. ?. taking care that they are all exactly true in shape and pro portion to one another. Now see whether you can put the twelve pieces together so as to form a perfect octagon. Concerning Bells. Bells are understood to have bad their origin in China, but at so remote a time that no precise date can be given. Their first use was to clear the air of evil spirits and to drive off the storms. Old European records tell how Nie tolling of bells kept the devils from assaulting believers: bence their con nection with churches. Bells may be traced in Europe back to the sixth cen tury, but were nut generally introduced Into the western church much before the eighth century. A Family Turtle. A Massachusetts boy. Nathan Samp sou, has found a venerable turtle which bears markings made by his graudfalher, now eighty-one years old. which were put on i:i ItHO, and by his great-grandfather, who marked the Three Littl; Mire.

Truman Cat?L. je !er jf >tr eo -n ty jail at Litcnfeld. C?rn r/''pves he has solved the vev: ?1 al-m of prison reform. He ; ' s tly jail so attractive that the pr .-'mers hate the thought of leaving. "As a result, he is able not only to dispense with a lot of expensive keepers, out to op erate the jail as an employment agency and sends his charges with out guards to labor on the highways and In garden patches. In this way he is able at the end of the year to turn over a tidy sum to the county. The food is good, the beds are comfortable, and every ceH Is decor ated with pictures which Jailer Cat lin cuts out of the magazines. The cell doors are never locked. There is a code of hoLor among the Litch fleld prisoners and they are not go ing to embarrass Jailer Catlin. All the 50 prisoners are trusties, doing odd jobs about town during the day.

In a little town a few years ago there was a shiftless negro boy named Ransom Blake, who, after be ing caught in a number of petty delinquencies, was at last sentenced to a short term in the penitentiary, where he was sent to learn a trade. On the day of his return home ho met a friendly white acqaaintnee, who asked: "Well, what did they put you at in the pr'son, Ranse?" "Dey started in to make an honest boy out'n me, sah." "That's good, Ranse, and I hope they succeeded." "Dey did, sah." "And how did they teach you to be honest?" "Dey done put me in the ahoe Bhop, sah, nallin' pasteboard onter shoes fo' soles, sah."?Youth's Com panion. First Dining Car. "Ju?t forty years ago," said T. C. Newton, a Chicago railroad man, "the Chicago & Alton Railroad put on the first dining car ever operated on any railway train In the world. This was on the run between Chlca gc and St. Louis. If that car could be exhibited now It would create uni versal merriment. It had oilcloth table covers, the seats were screwed to the floor, and Its Illumination de pended on candles. Think of the contrast between that primitive af fair of 1SC8 and the modern dining car finished In solid mahogany, with gorgeous furniture, and a menu as elaborate and cooking as dainty as that supplied by any of the foremost hotels of America. Verily, we have been 'going some' in the four decades that have gone by since the Alton's first crude experiment."?Baltimore American. Norwegian Wives Half Fare. Under a new Norwegian railway regulation, when husband and wife are traveling together the wife need only pay half price. The idea may simply be to encourage family Iii on the theory that a Norwegian who normally leaves his wife at home will be tempted take her along at re duced r..tes. It will, of course, be necessary when taking a husband and-wife ticket to display one's mar riage certificate and make an affi davit that the lady Is one's wife, In order to prevent collusion at fhe Dooking office between perfect strang ers.?Kansas City Journal.

In w of all fhat has been said about the fall In thi death rate it set-ns strange to realize, says Health Culture, that we are not living so long as our grandfathers and grand mother's did. More babies live to grow up nowadays than formerly, but people in later life die younger. Once arrived to adult age the aver age man or woman has fewer years of survival to expect. This seems on the face of It so surprising a state ment that In order to be accepted It should be backed up by data authen i and Indisputable. Such data are furnished by the figures of the In surance companies (which all agree on the point), but It Is easier to le fer to the Government census re ports, which tell the tale in simple and convincing fashion. Even in the last fifteen years the death rate among all persons over 55 years of age of both sexes has risen very con siderably. Lions, Tigers and Leopards. Mr. R. Lyd-ikker, the English nat uralist, calls attention to the obser vations of Mr. R. I. Pocock on the significance of the spots on lion cubs as Indicating the close relationship of lions, tigers and leopards. On lion cubs the pattern of the markings is intermediate In character between the stripes of the tiger and the rosettes of the leopard, but inclines more toward the former. East Afri can lions retain more or less distinct traces of these early markings even when they reach maturity. A dis tinct tlger-Iike feature of the lloa cub Is a white patch over the eye, which disappears in the adult. Puma cubs show a pattern quite unlike that of the lion, tiger, leopard and Jaguar.?Youth's Companion. Not All Hawk* Chicken Thieves. The hawks have as bad a reputa tion as the crows, and all hawks are called "hen-hawks" by those who are Ignorant of what they do live on, but the majority of the hawks do not live on poultry by any means. A great many live on Insects and mice form a a large Item in their bill of fare. The sparrow hawk is the one that fs to blame for the hard name given to his brethren, and It Is he who kills the chickens and hens. When hard pressed for food other hawks rarely may carry away a hen or chicken, but this is the extreme rather than the average case.?Maine Woods. Bank of England Notes. When the Bank of England note returns to the bank it is never reis sued. It Is cancelled by having the signature of the chief cashier torn off. After the signatures are torn o? the notes are pricked off in the register and sorted Into the dates of issue. They are then placed in boxes in the vaults where they are kept for five years, after which they are burned in a furnace in the court yard. Frozen Butterflies. It Is a common experience among mountain climbers to find butterflies ljlng frozen in the snow, and so brit tle that they break unless they are very ci)refully handled. Such froz en butterflies on ^eing taken to a warmer cliuate, recover and hy away. Six species of butterflies have ueen found within a few hun dred miles of i he North Pole. Typhoid and Flies. "Typhoid is an autumnal disease, appearing most frequently in Octo ber; and looking back It wlllbefound that flies were most prevalent at the time of Its Inception." So declared John B. Huber in an address to the fcod Investigation committee of the Chicago Consumers' League. Value of Salt. Wissen Feur Alle had a sympos ium to discuss the value of salt in digestion. One of the physicians wrote that, while salt in moderation is good for the stomach, and often absolutely necessary, it ought to be taken apart from the meals in much the same way as medicine.
