BLANKET ETIQ'JDTTE.
There Is n Iti&ht and u ron if Way to
Ileliflve While Ueiittf Ton fieri
In the Air.
While packing the box to send to the
front to tfie gallant soldier with red
flannel and socks and light underwear
and other things which are more abun-
dant here tlian they are in Tampa or
Jacksonville the wise pnrent might in-
close a little pamphlet c#S"il^>v to Act
Possed in a Uliniket."- P'lte sol-
dier wh<.> has never been thrown in
ihf air by his comrades in. jovial spirit
liassoffit'thing to learn of ihe joys of
soldiering, nnd it can never be learned
tufside of the blanket, i There are cer-
tain rules and regulations, unwritten,
to be sure, but none the less part and
parcel of the army regulations, govern-
jjfa ing the pleasing custom of "blanket-
;jl ing" soldiers, instructions as to how to
ffiphold the blanket, how to capture the
victim, the number of times a man f
a certain weight dad be tossed and alo
a few instruction's to the fellow w bb
goes up in the air.
If lh< Fe could be collected nnd issued
in p.'wnphlet form it would be a ,rood
thing, for now and then some little
trouble ensues when either party to the
blanketing expedition does not know
how to act. There are two lines of con-
duct open to the man in the blanket,
and one of them is eminently correct,,
while the other may lead to disaster and
trouble.
When a squad of soldiers is seized
with a desire to speed the golden mo-
ments by tossing somebedy, the usual
course is to wait until all the officers
are gone from the company street and
then secure a blanket from a tent.
About 15 strong-arnird r r. 1; 11 lounge
toward the unsuspecti: ^ victim, the
blanket being concealed lest the game
be flushed. When they are directly be-
hind him the blanla't is spread open in-
vitingly, while a couple of soldiers
'stall"—that is, cn;r:'ire the victim in
conversation to distract his attention.
When all is ready ore of them pushes
him suddenly. he"f;.!ls on the blanket
and he is lost. There is no use to weep
and there is no use to moan ^ben this
happens. The soldier who is to 'ie tossed
might as well make i:p his mind to take
his medicine gracefully, with the re-
flection that he will have a hand in
tossing some one els:- as soon as his ex-
ercise is over. The proper thing to do
instead of grabbii r the rc?;e of the
blanket and trying in climb out or
struggle with those n . tit him is for
the soldier to curl himself up in a ball,
clasping his knees inside his locked
arms and ducking his head on his
breast. Then let the rough workers go
ahead, and there is little chance for
trouble. This might be designated "the
right way."
The m .n who sp addles himself all
over the blank -t, trio to :ze t lie i Iges
when he comes down and grasps vio-
lently at li.e air w ! . :i !;i- U obove
the tents, is likely to have trouble. As
soon as he is dumped into tin- _u: jing

again. It is kept up Until the "com-

nnd then everybody lies down for
awhile.
A LITTLE ITONSENSE.
"Ili, cabby." "Yessir." "What's the
fare from here to the Central btation?"
"One shilling sir." "Thanks. I only
wanted to know how much 1 would
save by walking."—Tit-Bits.
Doctor—"Well, Pat, have you taken
that box of pills 1 srnt you?" Pat—
"Yes, sur, be jubers, i L...e, but 1 don't
feel any better. Maybe the lid hasn't
come off yet."—l.oston Traveler.
Changing Trades.—Visitor (at mu-
seum)—"1 want to see some of vh<? mum-

shop assistant)—"Yes, madam. Step
this way; we have all the latest styles."
—Tit-Bits.
Hills—"I see that some enterprising
chap is selling handkerchiefs patterned
after the United States flag." Marks—
"That's going too far." Ilills—"Why?"
Marks—"Old glory is not a thing to be

Inverted Fish Story. — Mentally he
was a pitiful wreck. "Here is a black
bass 1 bought of n boy on the road," he
gibbered. "It weighs one pound." It
made us weep almost to hear Mm go on
thus; for we knew that he had caught
the bass himself, and that it weighed
live pounds.—Detroit Journal.
"Willis Wis sent in another batch of
drivel under the name of 'Constant

wearily. "I don't see," said the assist-
ant editor, wearily, "how he has the gall
to call himself a constant reader,
when fully half of his time must be
taken up with writing."—Cincinnati
Enquirer.
After a recent railway collision a
Scotsman was extricated from
wreckage by a. companion who had
escaped unhurt. "Never mind. Sandy,"
his rescuer:-: marked, "it's nothing seri-
ous, and you'll get damages for it!"
"Damages?" roared Handy. "Hae I no*

Facing the Mob.—The crowd surged
around him. Strong men toied to shove
one another back. There were hoarse
mutterings of discontent. Fists were
shaken and it seemed as if those who
were endeavoring1 to hold the more im-
petuous cr.es in cheek would be
crushed. But he nc ver flinched. They
had not come to lynch him. lie was only
hanging up a war bulletin.—Chicago

Little Green Hird.
Bands of embroidered silk, and of
plaid silk as well, are used in various
ways as an insertion for trimming wool
gow ns, on both the bodice and the skirt,
and the edges are finished.with rows of
braid.
White lace ruffs trimmed with the
flowers which match theditfereut sum-
mer gowns are the fad among young
girls, and they are not a mildly expres-
sive fancy if you make thein at hotue.
A novelty in capes is made of violet
taffeta silk shirred in cords into two
deep puffs, which draw it closely over
the shoulders in n prim sort of way,
quite unlike the flutes and yards of ful-
ness in the cape of last season. The deep
frill of silk which falls below the puffs
extend the cape a little below the
elbows. A round1 collar.and short stole
of guipure fastened across wjth black
velvet bows and buckles are the only
trimming.
One of the latest novelties in menu
and guest cards is an exact imitation in
coloring and ornamentation of Wedg-
wood ware.
The "Cythere" is a new garment for
bicycle dress shown in orte of the large
department stores. It is a petticoat
nnd bloomers combined in one, and
made of China and taffeta silk finished
prettily with a ruffle of the same. The
prices range from $0.50 to $24.
A pretty bit of dainty underwear is
a short chemise of the finest crepe de
chine, finished a round the neck with a
lace-trimmed frill cf finest white lawn.
Black dotted Swiss gowns are made
up over color and trimmed with rows
and rows of black lace insertion.
Kobe dresses and skirts without-ma-
terial enough for the bodice, of white
nnd colored batiste prettily em-
the ; broidered, are temptingly displayed in
the shops. There are straight around
skirts which gather into a band, and
skirts composed of a series of narrow
gores set together with the tiny em-
broidered insertion so much employed
in the finest lingerie.
The Sandringham jacket of knitted
wool, worn as a vest underneath the
tnilor coat, is one of the fads of the
season. It is completed with silk
sleeve?, fastened with brass buttons
and comes in the national colors—plain
red, white nnd blue.
Everything military in style <£f trim-
ming which can be applied in jackets
for young girls is very popular.
The old-fashioned idea that it was
bad taste to use two kinds of lace on
one gown has no weight in thefashiona

different varieties lire combined on on<f

being childish and f-ngercus, for now

Sllt'liilC Animal TiHNiieM.
By means of the microtome slices of
Vegetable and animal tissues down to
a thinness of about one-thousandth of
an inch are obtained for microscopic
Study. Prof. Elmer Gates, of Washing-
ton, has now gone further, and even
slices up blood cells and microbes by
cementing them in a single layer be-
tween two glass slides and cutting the
slides apart with a very thin blade of
cojpper sharpened to the highest pos-
sible degree. The fine grain of the cop-
per causes it to take an edge that no
razor can approach. The cells are again
cut by repeating the operation, and it is
claimed that slices have been made only
one-hundredth as thick as the thinnest
produced by the microtome.—Chicago
Chronicle.

lid of the box was an inscription that,
said somethiabout letting the bird
pick out your lucky planet, or some-
thing like that, T don't remember Just
what, and more. As I approached and
indicated my desire the proprietor held
out to the little bird a rod upon which
the bird stepped gravely. Lowering it
gently to the level of the long row o?
folded papers in the front of the box,
the bird's owner placed its beak in
proximity to the papers at about the
center of the row: the papers there
were red. The little bird nipped one
and lifted it out nnd handed it to the
man, who handed it to me; whereupon
I handed him five cents.
"1 didn't open it on the spot. I didn't
want to appear impatient, but I did not
at once go away. I put the little red
paper in my pocket and stood there for
a moment or two, for the bird's owner,
holding it then on his own finger, smil-
ingly offered to let me hold it on mine;
and when I declined it wasso unexpect-
ed he held the little bird up to his own
face caressingly, and then he let one of
the little children hold it for a moment
and then he put the bird back on its

Mr. Gottlieb had almost forgotten the
rigid laws of his native land, and told
friends in this city than he was muth
surprised at the requirements. Before
the otlicials woi^Jd allow the ceremony
to take place they oompelled Gottlieb
to have published at his home in Kan-
sas a notice thait the marriage was
about to take place and they then re-
quired an affidavit of this publication
from the editor for filing in the pub-
lic records. The notice appeared a fol-

paper over a German official's signa-
ture:
