Not a Cigarette Smoker.
A good old gentleman who was

lady friend In a street car recently
and their conversation was as follows:
"Have you any children madam?"
"Yes sir a son."
"Ah indeed! Does be smoke?"
"No sir; be has never so much as
touched a cigarette."
"So much the better madam; the
use of tobacco Is a poisonous habit
Does he. frequent the eiubs??
"He has never put bis foot in one."
"Allow me to congratulate you. Does
he come home late?"
"Never. He goes to bed directly

Some Instructions for the Boy Handy
with a Jackknife.
Every boy likes to have a top and
as a rule more than one suits much
better than a single specimen. Dif-
ferent patterns can be bought or if
the expense seems too great tbey can
be made at home. One of the sim-
plest forms of tais plaything can be
made from a large wooden button
such as ladies sometimes wear on
cloaks. -If the button has been cov-

ered the cloth must be removed.
Through s hole in the center pass a
Binall peg that will fit so tightly that
the button will not slip.
Leave the peg nearly three times
as long on one side of the button as
it is on the other and whittle each
end to a smooth point This will en-
able you to spin the top on either
the long or short end and the differ-
ent motions produced will add greatly
to your amusement. To set it in mo-
tion twirl the peg between the thumb
and forefinger of the right hand or
the palms of both bands and at the
same time drop it gently upon a floor
or some other smooth surface. Figure
1 will show how this top la made and
how it looks when spinning on the
long end of the peg.
In Figure 2 there Is an illustration
of a whip top. This is a general fav-
orite and can be easily made says
the Montreal Herald. Take a piece of
wood that is shaped like a cylinder
and about one and a half inches in
diameter. With the compasses mark
out the exact center of the stick at
one end. At this point bore a small
hole Into which drive a piece of Iron
wire. This wire should be cut off
about three-eighths of an Inch from
tbe wood-
Now make two circles around the
wood. The first one Is to be an Inch
from the end In which tbe wire has
been driven and the other one tliree-
quarters of an inch beyond. Com-
mence at the first circle and with a
sharp knife cut the wood down to a
point and smooth this cut surface
with a file. The picture shows the
exact shape in which the top should
be made.
CLEVER NEW MATCH TRICK3.
Arrangement of Ten Matches Which
Will Puzzle Your Friends.
The first trick requires ten matches
which must be laid out as shown In
Fig. 1. The problem is: How can
they be arranged into pairs taking
each of five matches In turn across
The Two Match Tricks Illustrated.
two others? Number the matches
from left to right in your mind and
then solve as folows: 4 to 1 6 to 9
8 to 3 10 to 7 and 2 to 5.
Now for the second trick. Take
two of the matches away leaving
eight and proceed to form them so
they will make four right-angled tri-
angles and two squares. The smaller
square should be made first by four
matches as shown in Fig. 2 and then
the remaining four matches added
forming the second square thus giv-
ing the geometrical result asked for.

Are You Making Any of Them In
Your Life?
Some thoughtful person bas con-
densed the important mistakes of life
and decides that there are just 14 cf
them. Most people believe there is
no limit to the mistakes of life; that
they are like drops in the ocean or
the sands of the seashore in number.
But here are the 14 great mistakes:
It is a great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong and
judge people accordingly.
To measure the enjoyment of others
by our cwn.
To expect uniformity of opinion In
the world.
To look for judgment and experi-
ence in youth.
To endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
To yield to immaterial trifles.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate all that needs alle-
viation so far as lies in our power.
Not to make allowances for the In-
firmities of others.
To consider eve.-yxfciric impocsible
that we cannot perform.
To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
To expect to be able to understand
everything.
To believe the Almighty made one
almost perfect Individual and tha
you are that one.
DOUBLE TIT-TAT-TOE..
A Game That Is a Little More Com
plicate-! Than the Single.
Of course you all know the old
game of "Tit-Tat-Toe Three . in a
Row" which almost every boy and
girl in this country has played at
school filling slate after sUte with
the cross lines and the little circles
or crosses between them. It Is not a
The Double Tlt-Tat-Toe.
very interesting game for a boy or
girl of ten or twelve and he or she Is
apt to look upon It -lth scoru as a
pastime for only the younger ones
But have you ever tried "double tlt-
tat-toe?". That is a different thing.
You make four cross lines as shown
in cut and as you can readily see
there are nearly twice as many spaces
for moves as in the old game and of
course nearly twice as much quick
thinking Is required to keep your op
ponent from scoring until you score
yourself. In fact it is utterly Impos
sible to keep any one from scoring
three in a row so In this new game it
takes "four in a row" to win.
There are no end of unexpected
complications to it and even "grown
ups" need not despise It as a test of
quick wits. If they do you can soon
change their attitude toward it by
beating thera time after time.
Young People Need Sleep.
Sleep and how much of it the aver
age person needs was one of the sub
jects considered by the British asso
ciation at Its annual meeting. Tbe
scientific men were agreed that no
universal rule can be laid down; but
they were also agreed that Welling'
ton's saying "Six hours for a man
seven' for a woman and eight for a
fool" would place the author of it If
he had done nothing else in the eight
hour class says the Youth's Compaq
Ion. An abundance of sleep for young
people during the period of growth
was urged with unanimous lrsistence
and the advice was. re-enforced by a
letter from the head of a boys' school
where the bicakfast hour had been
changed from seven o'clock to eight
with an immediate improvement In
the character of the work done.
Self-Respect Needed.
There Is no one thlrg so necessary
for one's real advancement in life
as a thorough self-respect You must
think well of yourself or others will
uot respect you. Success Magazine.

Idea for a tea gown. That fashionable

After repeated warnings the re-1
vival of the Empire and Princess dress
is a recognized pleasure of our social
existence. I write "pleasure" though.
of course I am quite conscious that
should the all-in-one dress be chosen
by tbe young woman there is scant
chance of much ' pleasure ensuing
when we come across the two In
close union. However that is a de-
tail I will not contemplate but with
my usual optimism rampant I will as
sume that it Is only the woman who
should who does wear the straight
tight frock. And there are many in-
genious methods of suiting this to tbe

figure the all-oneness of the cloth be-
ing assumed and not entirely genu-
ine. The nature of cloth or velvet
renders It possible to Insert a seam at
the waist or below It along the front
on the hips and shaped to the be-
coming outline at the back stitching
the bodice on to the skirt in the least
obtrusive manner; and thus may be
attained the advantages of the Prin-
cess dress without its sterner disad-
vantages. On tbe other hand the Empire dress
is becoming to most people; so that
the stays be modified to a straight
squareness and a disregard of any ob-
vious waist the moderately stout
woman will look almost as well as ber
slim sister. The newest form of Em-
pire dress which is extremely prstty
has the Fiiort belt ldealiied Into a
bodice which crosses over at the
back the shaped ends returning to
tie in the front with small pendant
tassels. This draped bodice seems to
be cut in cne with sleeves which
slope over the shoulders and although
it cannot be justly written down as
entirely typical of the Josephine
gown yet it is undoubtedly a modiS
cation making exclusively for ele-
gance and as such will be welcomed
with entausiasm.
Amongst the popular colors for
evening wear is gray light silver gray
and I have seen this under its most
extravagant aspect in one of the new
chiffou velvets made Into the Prin-
cess styh" with a bertha of white

well be cueapened and the style se-
cured for a very moderate outlay in
one of the new chiffon velveteeus with
a silver or gold embroidered lace
bertha taking the place of the jet and
diamonds.
For the evening gowns It Is notice
able that chiffon Is dismissed flora fa
vor and soft satin velvet and vel-
veteen have It all their own way.
Leather belts hav yielded some
measure of their popularity to belts
of silk elastic which buckle at the
back and buckle at the front and ob
tain In every conceivable tone.
The variety of blouses does not
abate and a new and attractive one
made of lace has bretailes of soft silk
edged with tiny kilted frills.
The plainest of the shirt blouses bas
broad tucks on either side of the cen
ter box plait edged with a little frill
and It Is made of nun's veiling and
oriental satin while the more prodi-
gal choose it of the double width best
quality white crepe de chine. It lacks
novelty perhaps under any circum-
stances but it is extremely comforts
able and useful to wear beneath tho
tailor-made coat of our daily delight
The stout woman would do well to
have her shirt-blouse made to fasten
down the back while the slender may
fasten it In the front but It is more
possible under the former conditions
to regulate its lines to conceal the too
exuberant curve.
Talking of exuberant curves re-
minds me of one of the latest styles
in hats; these are tightly covered with
black satin with scrolls doing duty
as a brlra cut into four equal sections.
It Is entirely picturesque if somewhat
too peculiar for my personal taste'
which Inclines rather to the small
folded toque or beaver with a glace
crown and a bunch of cock's feathers
at on eside; but the most attractive
thing In feathers is the outspread os
trich feather this being extremely
broad with a waving tail an article
of luxury and considerable grace.
But to return for a moment to the
trifles of costume and to chronicle
some elaborations in veils. The
latest show triple rows of tiny silk
fringes while others of fine Russian
net are bordered with chiffon traced
with a design in fine chenille amf
the spoiled blonde with the kilted bor-
der still floats its attractive length
from many of the most modern crum-
pled up toques. 1

Forgot His Incog.
Chancellor James R. Day of Syra-
cuse university was discussing at a
dinner his edict against theatergoing
and the use of tobacco by students
holding scholarships.
"Scholarships " said Chancellor Day
"are for poor students and he who
smokes and visits the theaters may
be poor but he is not living up to the
part
"We should all live up to our parts.
To disguise ourselves to travel incog-
nito Is never wise. To travel incog-
nito Is too often associated with some-
thing cMsgracefuL Witness the story
of the tramp who at the magistrate's
early morning bearing did not an-
swer to his name sitting absently in
his seat as the name was shouted four
or five times. When matters finally
righted themselves the magistrate
said angrily:
. " 'Why didn't you answer to your
came?"
" Beg parden yer honor but 1 for-
got wot name I guv la; t night" rej lied
the tramp.
"'What? thundered the mar;tra!e.
'Didn't you give your right name?
"'No "yer honor' said 1i.e trau:p.
