A Now Game.
A favorite new game with children
Is called "Hubbies and Bundles." Lit
tle gifts are prepared, each of which
is placed in a box or made up into a
bundle and tied up as prettily as pos
sible in colored tissue papers, with
ribbons to match. These bundles are
suspended by ribbons on a strong
cord, or clothes-line suspended from
tree to tree, in a manner to remotely
suggest a cobweb. The children are
provided with pretty terracotta soap
bubble pipes, tied with ribbons, and
a huge bowl of soapsuds is brought
upon tho scene. A tablespoonful C:
glycerine added to the suds will pre
vent the bubbles from breaking eas
ily. Two persons at a time take turns
in blowing. The bubbles must be
thrown off the pipes into the air, and
the children get under them and try
to blow them against the packages
that they wish for their own.
If the bubble hits the bundle, the lat
ter is awarded as a prize, and wli 11
a child has secured one, he does not
try again. It has all the mysterious
charm of a game of chance, without
its objectionable features.
What tho Anatomist.* Have Learned.
Mother Nature has odd ways of
storing up energy. She hides it away
in the tiniest, most unlikely bun
dles. Common things that are handled
every day are more than likely to be
packages full of force of one sort or
another. If you were asked to decide
which was stronger, a steam boiler or
a pot of common white navy beans,
you would probably say that the for
mer was—might possibly say so con
temptuously, with a laugh. Yet those
wise old fellows, the anatomists, have
learned that beans are capable of
exerting a pressure fully equal to the
largest boiler. When they find it
necessary to separate the bones of a
skull they fill it with beans and place
it in a basin of water. The beans
soon absorb tho water, swell and slow
ly force the bones apart, for there
is no skull that can withstand the
steady, even pressure. And unless
some equally careful workman could
be found to do the work, no skulls
could bo articulated, for rougher
methods would shatter the bones and
quite spoil the job.
Anatomists have learned many
similar tricks by watching nature.
When they wish to obtain a skeleton
■of a small animal—a mouse or a fish,
for example—they put the little body
upon an ant heap and leave the tiny
insect to eat tho llcsh away from the
bones. In a month or six weeks noth
ing remains but a bare skeleton,
held together by the tough cartilages
—provided the wise anatomist has
protected his specimen against the
cat. If he has not, why, of course,noth
ing remains, not even a grease spot.
Tho Queen of tho Ant..
A gentleman who is very fond of
every living thing, who watchess
animals carefully that he may learn
their ways, tells a very interesting
story of some ants he once saw. Ho
noticed a procession of ants going
across the path. This gentleman
watched, and knowing the ways of
ants, knew that they were emigrating
to a new colony because the old city
was overcrowded. He watched tho
ants closely to decide which was the
queen. At last ho discovered her,
attended by a guard of honor. Quick
ly and carefully ho lifted the queen
and held her in his hand.
She was missed at and there
was the greatest excitement. Tho
guard of honor were seized by the
others and held under arrest. Ants
started out in every direction to look
for the queen. They iooked every
where, and returned again and again
to learn if there was any news.
At last tho gentleman put the queen
down on the path some distance
away from tho point at which he had
captured her. She was discovered by
one of the scouts, who hurried back
to the point where the ants had as
sembled and told of his discovery.
A guard of honor hurried to the queen
and actually carried her back to her
subjects, who received her with de
monstrations of joy.
The new colony had been es
tablished under a bench. A hole un
der one of the legs of the bench led
to it. With the guard of honor carry
ing the queen, the procession reformed
and began its march, and soon dis
appeared from sight. The gentleman
moistened four lumps of sugar and
put them in the path. Soon two or
three ants appeared, found the sugar,
and immediately reported at the new
colony. When they returned a number
□f helpers came with them, and the
sugar was all carried, grain by grain,
to the new home. Doubtless they
thought they had found the most
wonderful land to settle In, when
food was provided in such quantities
noar at hand.
Jumho'R Good Deed.
It was toward the evening of a
terribly hot day, when a troop of
-wild elephants came down to the
fiver to bathe.
"Oh, how deltghtlull'l cried Jumbo,
the youngest of the party. "I never
saw so much water before, and lt'c
so splendidly fresh and cool. What
makes it come?"
"There has been rain up among the
mountains yonder," replied his big
brother Raj: "that's what makes it
come."
"Oh, that's it, is it?" returned
saucy Jumbo, nearly drowning Raj
with a stream of water from his
trunk.
That was the beginning of a fine
romp; but suddenly Jumbo stopped,
and cuddled up to his brother, say
ing: "Look! What's that?"
Raj looked up, and said quietly,—
"That's a boat; we don't often see
one so far up as this."
"What queer-looking people!" cried
Jumbo. "I never saw any like them
before. What are they?"
"They are white men," said Raj. "If
we let them alone, they won't hurt
us."
There were men, women and chil
dren in it; and Jumbo watched with
his little eyes twinkling and his ears
twitching.
As the boat neared them, a little
girl dropped a cake into the water.
It floated within reach of Jumbo's
trunk. He snapped it up, and found
it very nice.
But the child, reaching after it,
fell overboard, and there was a great
noise and confusion in the boat.
"She's fallen in," said Jumbo.
"What will happen next?"
"She will be drowned, I expect,"
observed Raj.
"Drowned! No, she won't," cried
Jumbo; for he remembered the cake.
So, stepping out from his hiding
place, he curled his trunk around the
little white girl, lifted her up, and,
as the boat came up, dropped her al!
dripping into the arms held out to re
ceive her.
"Good Jumbo!" "Dear old fellow!"
"Thank you!" "Thank you!" was
heard on all sides.
"How queer that they should know
my name!" thought Jumbo, as,
scrambling up the bank, he gave him
self a mighty shake, and disappeared
into the jungle.
"Well done, Jumbo!" said Raj.
And Jumbo was happy, for he cared
more for the good opinion of his
brother than for anything else in the
world.
But to this day he has not solved
the puzzle of how those white folk
come to know his name. Can you?—

Tho limbic of Your Watch.
If you own a watch open it and
look at the little wheels, springs and
screws, each an indispensable part of
the whole wonderful machine. The
busy little balance wheel alone Is the j
result of hundreds of years of study
and experiment. The watch I have
before me is composed of 98 pieces,
and its manufacture embraces more
than 2000 distinct and separate
operations. Some of the smaller
screws are so minute that the un
aided eye cannot distinguish them
from the steel filings or specks of dirt.
Under a powerful magnifying glass !
a perfect screw is revealed. Tho slit j
in the head is two one-thousandths i
of an inch wide. It takes 308,000 of
these screws to weigh a pound, and
a pound is worth $1585. The hair- j
spring is a strip of the finest steel :
about nine and one-half inches long, j
a hundredth part of an inch wide and
twenty-seven ten-thousandths of an ■
inch thick. It is coiled up in spiral i
form and finely tempered. The pro
cess of tempering was long held a
secret by a few fortunate ones pos
sessing it, and even now is not gener
ally known. Their manufacture re
quires great skill and care. The strip is
gauged to twenty cne-thousandths of
an ipch, but no measuring instrument
has yet been devised capable of fine
enough gauging to determine be
forehand by the size of the strip what
the strength of the finished spring will i
he. A twenty thousandth part of an
inch difference in the thickness of the
strip makes a difference in the run
ning of a watch of about six minutes
per hour. The value of these springs
when finished and placed in watches
!s enormous in proportion to the ma
: rial from which they are made. A
comparison will give a good idea. A
ton of gold is worth $('.27,915. A ton of
steel made up into hairsprings when
in watchc3 is worth ?7,552,290—m0re
than twelve and one-half times the
value of pure gold. Hairspring wire
weighs one-twentieth of a grain to the
Inch. One mile of wire weighs less
than half a pound. The balance
gives five vibrations every second,
300 every minute, 18,000 every hour,
432,000 every day and 157,080,000
every year. At each vibration it ro
tates about one and a■ quarter times,
which makes 197,100,000 revolutions
every year. In order that we may
better understand the stupendous
amount of labor performed by these
tiny works let us make a few compari
sons. Take, for illustration, a loco
motive with six-fool drive wheel. Let
its driving wheels be run till they
have given the same number of
revolutions that a watch gives In one
year and they will have covered a
distance equal to 2S complete circuits
of the earth. All this a watch does
without other attention than wind
ing once every 24 hours. When we
compare this with the frequent re
pairs an engine receives we certainly
dught to be willing to have our
watches cleaned once a year.—-

Clinching- Their Claim*.
"Fame" is an uncertain quantity

THE ART OP MANICURINC."
Tlio Whole Operation Is Made Plata So
Anyone May Perform It.
An expert describes as follows the
whole process of manicuring, so that
those who cannot pay regular visits to
a professional may know how to per
form this interesting operation for
themselves: The finger tips must first
be immersed for a few minutes in a
bowl of hot lather made from a pure
toilet soap. This is to soften the nail
and the cuticle surrounding Its base.
This cuticle, or thin, tough skin, is
frequently allowed by those who ne
glect the dainty care of the hands and
nails to grow up over the matrix and
thus hide from view the pretty half
moon, or "lunula" which In all well
kept nails is to be plainly discerned.
As soon as the skin has become nice
ly softened the fingers are taken out
of the soap solution and gently dried
with a soft towel. They are now ready
for the operation of the cuticle knife.
This must be used with the greatest
delicacy, care being taken not to
scratch the nail in any way. The point
of the knife should be gently passed
under the edge of the skin, loosening
it from the nail. The superfluous mem
brane or cuticle should now be cut
away with the cuticle scissors. These
are made long and slender, with beau
tifully curved points. Ordinary scis
sors would not do the work properly.
It must be distinctly understood that
this cutting of the cuticle is only nec
essary with neglected nails. Nails
which receive proper and regular at
tention have the lunula well in view,
and the skin nt.the base Is not allowed
to grow over it, being gently nibbed
back every day with an ivory presser.
Whenever it is necessary to cut the
cuticle it must be done with a skilful
and delicate touch, aud under no cir
cumstances should blood be drawn,
as in such a case irritation and much
soreness would follow.
The nails themselves may now be
nicely cut and trimmed with nail scis
sors. They should be cut to a pretty
oval shape and may be finished off
with a file to soften and level the
edges.
The beautifying process then com
mences by immersing the nails for a
minute in any of the cleansing fluids,
or by the use of a little lemon juice
to free the nail from all stains and
discolorations. Little orange wood
sticks, sold in tiny bundles, are also
used to apply the fluid under the
corners of the nail, and these effectu
ally eradicate ink, gardening or other
stains, which are sometimes difficult
to remove from the edges. Now rinse
the nails in a little rose water and
commence the polishing.
The polisher, or rubber, lias an ebony,
ivory or polished handle, and is com
posed of an oval pad covered with a
piece of fine chamois leather. A lit
tle good nail powder is sprinkled over
it, and the nails are rubbed briskly
backward and forward until a bril
liant polish is obtained. If it is de
sired to color nails which are not nat
urally pink, a little pink coloring paste
may now be rubbed into them and the
polishing renewed.
To keep the nails in good condition
they should be manicured twice a
week and once a day, after washing
tile hands, the thin membrane at their
base should be gently pushed back
with the ivory pressor and the nails
polished with the chamois leather rub
ber.
Many persons, especially those of
weak health, are troubled with thin,
dry, brittle nails, which are constant
ly breaking or splitting and becoming
Jagged at the edges. A lemon kept on
the wasbstand and used after washing
is useful for remedying this state.—

Fur Trimming*.
Some beautiful fur trimmings are
used on the gowns for the winter. One,
of a rich blue broadcloth, has the ef
fect or an underskirt of broad-tali As
trakhan shown through long, deep V
shaped cuts at the bottom of the skirt.
These points set in give a pretty ful
ness to the foot of the dress, and make
it extremely rich. The edges of the
cloth are finished with a band of jet,
which is repeated on each side of a
girdle at the waist, tying loosely in
front, and falling low on the skirt.
This girdle is of the übiquitous Rus
sian gold ribbon. A yoke which seems
to be all made of cloth of gold covered
with jet is on the bolero, which is a
tiny mess-jacket edged' with the fur.
Under this is a blouse of exquisite
cream lace threaded with gold. The
collar is of the gold and jet in com
bination, with a fold of the lace around
the top. Sleeves cut somewhat on a
flare come to a little below the elbow,
where they arc finished with a band
of the gold and jet and a binding of
fur, and from Inside them appear full
lace sleeves lifte the blouse. The toque
to match is aaade largely of the fur,
with the jet, gold ribbon, and lace all
appearing In Its composition.—Harp

The Itost Cure For Throats.
You hear fashionable women talking
familiarly about taking a "rest cure"
for the throat during the winter. It is
easy to disinterpret the phrase. This
Is not a ease of loss of voice or any
bronchial distress whatever. It simply
means that the victim of fashion has
ruined the contour of a soft white
throat by too-prolonged indulgence in
stock collars, which are not only too
high and entirely too stiff to be hy
gienic, but very much too tight. In an
effort to have n "slender throat" our
girls and their mothers have worn col
lar bands hooked up to the point of
suffocation. Slips of whalebone, or
"feather bone" or "cornline" stay the
high neck-band and give further dis
comfort to it.
A lady's complaint of "feeling faint,"
the other day, was met by her hus
band's demand "to uuliook that foolish
collar," which compressed her throat
into ridges and actually hindered free
respiration.
The remedy is to have your house
dresses made with an open neck, and
to let the throat have a chance to re
gain its smoothness by fresh air treat
ment. An "afternoon dress" intended
for evenings at home can have the
throat cut surplice, and faced with a
little lace.
The dressmaker should be cautioned
not to send home a bodice with a neck
band which acts as a "check rein" in
harnessing up the throat.
A Novelty For lVi'lHtbnnilg,
A pretty novelty for belts and wrist
bands is the silk trimmings, four or
five inches wide, with several rows of
narrow Persian strips in white, blue,
red and beige. Many of these bauds
are in rich, plain colors, embroidered
in chenille effects. A novelty in silk
braids is a three-inch width in a dia
mond basket weave, shot with either
gold or silver. Other black velvet trim
ming bands come in scalloped effects,
embroidered with French knots in
gold.
French knots arc as commonly used
for dress decoration as they were last
spring.
Arab lnces are very popular.
Tanne velvet spotted with gold Is
very attractive.
Bauds of lace insertion alternated
with tucked bands of gray silk form
effective waists.
Red velvet applique designs embroid
ered with gold are the decoration on
the bolero of a white taffeta silk
waist.
A charming finish to the bolero is a
scarf of plain or fancy silk that forms
revers to the jacket, knots in front and
falls down on the skirt.
A pretty vest is made of cream spot
ted net, tucked at wide intervals,
filled In with tiny bins bands of col
ored silk stitched on the edges.
Some of the new hats In rough
camel's-hair effects, also In mottled,
heather-mixed, and granite wenvings,
are brought out to wear en suite with
utility costumes of like pattern.
Plaid wools are now seen, and they
are very effective in skirts made with
out the front seams and arranged with
pleats and clusters of tucks on the
sides. This leaves the plaids straight
in front.
A bewitching teagown is of accor
illon pleated nun's veiling, caught at
the sides to the figure by a girdle that
leaves front and back loose. A fall ol
handsome ecru guipure outlines a yoke
and appears also at the wrists.
Demands for the new art jewelry
seem to be increasing. The gold s
tinted to harmonize with whatever
jewels are used, so the effect of color
is charming. Belt buckles are es
pecially desirable, but of course there

Writer Speaks of Strain of Women's
Cornets.
Every one knows that a portly wo
man who wears tight old-fashioned
corsets always bends her spinal col
umn in at the waist and at the should
ers, that she tips her chin up anil
crooks her neck, and so gets a lump
un the back of it. All this is because
her abdomen is too large to be hi' 1

her chest up in the proper place. Any
one without strong abdominal muscles
ran prove the truth of this for herself
by trying an experiment when un
dressed. Put a tight belt round the
waist so that it presses on the upper
part of the abdomen. One wants to
bend over to relieve the strain. Put a
bandage or something that lifts the
abdomen from below, and see how in
stinctively one straightens the should
ers and throws out the chest. The
spinal column Is then erect. Doctors,
teachers of physical culture, and in
structors in hygiene have all attacked
the corset, thinking it to blame for
certain bad results. Some persons
have abandoned corsets altogether, but
no one who has grown stout without
them has been able to hold the weight
of the abdomen and keep the body in
proper position—at least no one who
attempted to wear the modern dress.
The value of the straight-front cor
set, a corset which has been evolved
through many mistakes, and out of
many endeavors, lies in the fact, that
the abdomen Is supported and all the
body above the waist line is left free
and unrestrained. The corset touches
nothing in front above the waist line.
Much care must be exercised in putting
one of these corsets on. The laces
should be untied and loosened, and
never left fastened from one time to
another. After the corset has been

formed. In 1888 Mr. Stone retired from

THE LARGEST CAKE.
Frederick William I Ungated His Army
With It.J
Last Christmas, in one part of Lon
don, there was on view an enormous
cake that towered almost to the ceiling
of the confectioner's shop. It was
made to represent a fortress, and
weighed more than 4,000 pounds. In
its composition had been used 600
pounds of flour, 400 pounds of butter.
400 pounds of sugar, GOO pounds of
icing sugar, 900 pounds of currants,
450 pounds of sultanas, 300 pounds of
candied peel, 200 pounds of almonds
and 5,000 eggs. Gigantic, however, as
was this cake, it cannot be compared
with that which in June, 1730, Fred
erick William I. regaled his army. Af
ter a huge repast of beef, wine and
beer had been partaken of, the guests,
to the number of 30,000, saw approach
ing an immense car drawn by eight
horses, on which reposed a monster
cake, eighteen yards long, eight yards
broad and one-half yard thick. It
contained, among other ingredients,
thirty-six bushels of flour, 200 gallons
of milk, one ton of butter, one ton of
yeast and 5,000 eggs. The soldiers,
who had already eaten a hearty meal,
were able to devour only a portion of
this extraordinary cake, so to their aid
were summoned the people from the
towns and villages in the neighbor
hood, among whom it was distributed
till not a morsel remained.

hooked and the garters fastened to the
stockings in front, the corset should
l)o pulled down. Some skill and force
are required for this, the idea being to
fit the corset about the hips. Then the
hands should he put in between the
corset and the body and the abdomen
lifted into position, as though the cor
set. were playing the part of a bandage.
After this the tightening should begin,
but always about the abdomen, the
tightening above the belt only serving
to bring tile corset into position, not
to cramp the figure in the least.—Har
