NUMBER SEVEN OUT.
Nimble Wits Will Prove the Winners
In the Game of "Buz."
"Buz" Is an old game, but a good
one, well adapted to ijuickeu the wits.
The players sit In a circle and count,
beginning at one and going on to a
hundred, which must, If possible, be
reached. But the number seven or Its
multiples must never be mentioned,
the word "Bus" being substituted for
It. For instance, the players say alter-
nately one, two, three, four, five, six
but the seventh exclaims "Buz!" The
others go on. eight, nine, till fourteen
Is reached, when the fourteenth must
say "Buz" instead, because fourteen
Is twice seven. And so twenty-one.
twenty-eight, thirty-five, forty-two and
all the other numbers in the seven
times line of the multiplication table
must be called "Buz." When the
players reach seventy they must count
Buz-one, Buz-two, etc.
Any one falling to say "Buz" for
seven or any number in "seven times"
is out of the game and must sit silent,
if any one mentions seven or an:
"seven times" number, the counting
must begin again at the beginning. If
a player forgets her number or mis-
counts after a "Buz" she pays a for-
feit, but Is not out of the game.
The game should be played quickly,
and it will be found that "Buz" will
) be forgotten so often that the number
of players will quickly diminish till It
ends with one pair. As after every
blunder the count begins at one, It
takes some time to reach a hundred.
This Is a merry, pleasant pastime.
WHITE POPPY OF INDIA.
Peculiar Properties of the Plant Frorr
Which Opium Is Obtained.
It Is the white poppy of India which
gives to us that deadly drug, opium,
like so many other things at the same
time a powerful blessing and a mighty
curse.
Think of tiny seeds, fine as dust, ly-
ing hidden in the dark for 2.000 years
then, ns soon as they were exposed to
the sunshine, awakening to life and
blazing Into a gorgeous scarlet carpet
Buch is the vitality of the red poppy.
If we look at a poppy head when
ripened and ready to scatter Its seeds
we shall see one of nature's neatest
devices for guarding against waste.
The seeds are held iu an oval box,
with a well fastened lid slightly larger
In circumference than the box Itself.
Below the lid are tiny holes lu the
sides of the box. When the wind
blows, the seed box, swaying about,
scatters seeds, a few this side, a few
that.
To walk through a field of nodding
poppies Is a strange experience—some-
times a dangerous one for the novice.
He begins to feel a sort of languor
stealing over him. Presently he grows
drowsy. lie stops to rest a moment
and collect his scattered wits. Deeper
and deeper he sinks until at last he Is
lost In profound slumber—a slumber
which has been known to be too deep
for waking.
To Climb a Rope Like a Ladder
The accompanying illustration shows

up a rope. The climber uses two loops-
made from straps or ropes, which b(

The special charm of such a lunch-
eon is that there Is uo formal arrange
ment, so guests and friends could
easily manage to sit in a group.
While It saves much trouble to the
hostess If everything is put Into the|
hands of a caterer, such a lunch could
easily be got up at home. The two
essentials to its success are that there
be plenty of walters and that every
thing be ready promptly for them to
pass as each course is taken out.
How to Keep Ferns In Good Condition.
Ferns should not be placed in halls ^
or situations exiiosed to draftB. They i
require great care in watering. People
often think they have watered their
plants when the water has only gonk
over the surface and around the sides
of the pots, the center of the ball be-
ing still quite dry. This Is especially
the case when the pots are filled with
roots. It Is necessary that the ball
should be thoroughly soaked. There Is
no regular rule as to the time for wa-
tering. Plants In vigorous growth re-
quire more frequent watering. Evap-
oration also has much to do with it
On dry, warm days, when evaporation
is great, water may be needed twice a
aay, while if the air is cool and moist
two or three days might intervene
without water. A healthy, vigorous
plant absorbs much water, while a del-
icate one can absorb but little. The
soil should be examined always and if
dry watered; if not, refrain from wit
tering. When leaves shrivel and turn
yellow the soil has beeu too dry.

to purchase a season ticket, which
means only J1.B0 and entitles the
holder to reserved seats.

A Test of Strength.
Perhaps you do not know how strong
you nre in some ways. Here Is n trick,
whicb will show you that you have
more strength lu your aruis than you
may have supposed. Hold your hands
straight In front of you Willi the palms
toward you and the middle fingers of
each hand Just touching each other
Then ask some one to pull your hands
apart. Von will be surprised to find
that a much bigger, stronger person
than you will probably not be able to
pull your hands away from each other.

How to Preserve an Umbrella Jar
The housekeeper who has suffered
from having her umbrella jar broken
by hastily pushed in umbrellas should
welcome the contrivance of a clever
woman who declares she has learned
how to prevent breaking. From an old
rubber mat she cut two circles that
just fitted the bottom of the jar. Thesr
were put one on top of the other, and
when an umbrella was pushed In bur
rledly It struck a soft surface Instead
of a breakable one. If one does not
possess the rubber mat It will be found
worth while to buy enough sheet rub
ber such as is used by plumbers. Its
cost is nothing compared to a new
umbrella jar.
How to Piece Lace.
To piece lace take the figure at the
end of the lace and, commencing at
the end of the scallop, cut around ii
close to the thread that outlines the
figure, being careful uot to cut this
thread, if there Is plain net at the
top cut straight through it. Baste this
figure over a similar one, being care
ful that every point and dot is exact
With a fine thread, silk or cotton, ac
cording to the lace, sew the cut edge
of the lace down, sewing over the out-
line thread with fine stitches. Then
cut away the extra lace on the wrong
side, leaving only a very narrow seam
If carefully doue the seam is almost
Invisible.
How to Make Bedroom Coverings.
Pretty coverings for a bedroom may
be made of heavy unbleached muslin.
For the bedspread buy cloth of double
width to avoid a seam In the middle
Turn a two Inch hern and hem lightly
by band. Then from soft colored cre-
tonne or sateen cut wreaths of flow-
ers or figures and fell thetn on to the
cotton in any way that appeals to your
taste. Curtains, pillows and bureau
covers may be made lu the same way.
The materials are cheap, and the ef-
fect Is pretty.
