Engliih Own American Land.
It is stated that over 20.000,000
acres of land in the United States are
owned by members of the English
aristocracy and British land com-
panies and syndicates. Most of these
estates are situated in the Southern
and Western States. A Dutch cor-
poration is said to ow n 5,000,000 acres
of land in the West and a German
company 2,000,000 acres in several
States. Alien landlords own property
In most of the larger cities of tbo

Months later the little fellow visit-
ed his grandparents at their country

while she evidently remembered him,
she was shy for some time, atni it was
several days before the two were on
their former friendly terms.
Now came a complication. As it

Odd Way to Lift a Glass.
You can surprise people very much
by laying your hand, with apparent
carelessness, on a tumbler or wine
glass nearly full of water and then
lifting the glass, water ami all. by
raising your hand, with the Angers
outstretched in order to prove that
do not take hold of the glass in
way. Probably there will be
some people whom you will not sur-
prise. These will say. "Oh, that's
tasy,” try to do the trick theniselxes
and fail.
The secret of success Is this:
Though your lingers are straight when
you lift the glass, they must be bent
downward sharply when you place
your palm upon it. You must press
your hand down rather firmly In or-
der to make an air-tight joint between
it anti the rim of the glass, which
should be wet to make the joint tight-
er. Now suddenly straighten your
fingers and lift your hand. Phis mo-
tion of the fingers causes the flesh
of the palm to move in such a way
as to cause a partial vacuum, a suc-
tion which you can feel distinctly.
The space between the water anti
your hand is made a little larger, and
therefore the air in that space is rare-
fied or made thinner and exerts less
pressure. Therefore, the greater air
pressure outside, acting on the bot-
tom and sides of the glass, forces it
upward against your hand strongly
enough to lift both glass and water
when you raise your hand.
This trick requires some practice
before it can be done with certainty
and had better not be attempted w ith
a very thin 01 valuable glass or in a
place where spilled water will do
barm.
Above all. do not use a very thin

f»fT When a “duck” is pitched the

ing tagged by the guardian of the

lucky pitch to knock the "duck” off.

rand run to the line. The guardian
of the rock must replace his “duck”
before ho cun tag anyone. The boy
who is tagged of course takes his
place as guardian of the rock and the
game proceeds.

TALKS j
Women Prefer Blondes.
That women generally are admirers
of the blonde type as opposed to the*
brunette is sufficiently proved by the
frequency with which they bleach
their hair by the aid of peroxide of
hydrogen and other chemical prepara-
I tions. The fact that most people have
I fair hair in early youth would seem.
| by the way, to indicate that our an-
1 ceslors were a fair-haired race.
Caterpillar’s Coat.
The fur or hair on the caterpillar
was given by nature as a protection
from other living creatures, part leu- j
larly birds, who consider most small
crawlers as food delicacies intended
especially to gratify birdie’s appetite.
But there are not many birds who
could swallow a crawler that wears
a fur overcoat. It would stick in his
throat, anti if he did get it down,
probably it wouldn’t digest.
Most caterpillars are brown or
green, but some are dressed up in
: the grandest kind of way in many
! colors and ornamental knobs, or, to
j use a big word, protuberances.
A strange method of protection is
that given to the caterpillar that aft-
envard turns into a "swallow-tail
butterfly. This caterpillar has an
1 opening in the skin back of the head
that emits a powerful odor, probably
Queer Custom of Koreans.
The destruction of the Korean im-
perial palace at Seoul is said to have
been largely due to the fact that na
tives who saw the blaze early did not
raise an alarm. This was because one
of the customs of the country, ob-
served at court, has been to charge
with incendiarism and behead any-
body who gave au alarm of fire.
Unsympathetic in Perfumes.
The perfume which delights one
person may arouse the deepest dis-
like in another. It is related by
Plutarch that a Spartan lady paid
a visit to Berenice, the wife of De-
jotarus, but one of them smelled so
much of sweet ointment and the oth-
er of bitter that neither of them
could endure the other.

tone of the people than by the educa-
tion of the men.
Coffee Frappe Delicious.
Make a quart of strong coffee in a
French coffee pot. and pour it in a
bowl to cool; sweeten it palatabjj.
and when quite cool add half a pint
of cream; then put it in a pat< :.t
freezer aud let it freeze quite soft.
Take as many oranges as are re-
quired to hold the trapped coffee; cut
small slice from the stem of each or-
ange. and with a small spoon, or
scoop with a long handle, scoop out
all the pulp and juice from the or-
ange. When the pulp is taken front
all fill the oranges with the flapped
coffee, put ui» a small mound of j
whipped cream on of each, and
serve on small china or glass plates.
Misses’ Box Coat.
Loose coats in lu>x style, make the
smartest of all the season's wraps for
young girls and are exceedingly fash-
ionable in silk, pongee and linen as
well as cloth. This one shows the
chevrons that every girl likes to wear
anti includes wide full sleeves that
mean comfort as well as style. The
model is made of white linen and
matches the skirt, but it is suited to
the general wrap also and to ail the
materials mentioned. When liked tho

picking the gardens, and she would

what she was scratching, and so her
liberty did no harm.
Royal Prince or Princess.
Let all the children sit down in a
ring for ibis game. One child begins
by saying to her right-hand neighbor:
"Good evening, royal princess (or
prince). I. a royal princess, come
from a royal princess to say that I
have a monkey with purple eyes."
The right-hand neighbor then says
to his right-hand neighbor: "Good
evening, royal princess lor prince). I.
a royal prince, conte from a royal
princess to say (hat I have a monkey
with purple eyes and three seven-mile
tails.”
So each player must do, repeating
the exact words of his predecessor,
and adding some new hit of descrip-
tion of his own—hut saying "prin-
cess” or "prince,” according to wheth-
er he is talking to a boy or girl.
if anyone makes a mistake he must
be crowned with a dunce cap and
dubbed the "One-Horned Prince, or
Princess.”
The hoy or girl who gets through
the game without a mistake captures
the prize.
to the color of their surroundings.
One variety not only uses the color
enect, hut is able to attach his hind
end to a branch and stretch himself
out so that he looks like a twig. This
fellow can stay rigid that way for a
long time.
Game of Bouquet.
This is a jolly game for a number
of children to play.
Sit down in a circle around your
leader. I.et the leader give each one
a flower for his name—violet, daisy,
sweet William, black-eyed Susan, etc.
Then lot her tell you a story "made
up out of her own head,” in which she
brings in every one of the flower
names.
When ever a ehild hears his flower
name mentioned he must get up, turn
around, and sit down.
Whenever the leader uses the word
“bouquet" all the children must jump
up and change places, at which time
the leader tries to capture a seat.
Whoever gels "left" must then be-
come leader.
Origin of Signing the Cross.
The cross was used in signing In
the beginning of Christianity by all
followers of Christ to distinguish them
from the pagans, and it was also used
as a pledge of the truth of the matter
signed. This cross remains to tills
lay in the signature of ecclesiastics,
as well as being testimony of the illit-
erate.
Lifting a Glass of Water.
Class, for even if it does not drop you
may break It by mere pressure and
rut your hand. Besides, thin glasses
are very apt to have little nicks in
the edge which will both rut you and
spoil the trick by letting in air.
Tho glass must he a small one. as
It has to he well covered by the palm
of your hand. An egg cup or a w ine
Class with a stem is best. If you
use a tumbler—which, being small in
diameter, will probably bo not very
tall—you will have to hold it in the
ether hand or set it on an inverted
tumbler or a block of wood in order
lo get room to bend your fingers
Sown properly.
The trick seems especially difficult
because the hand Is fiat and the glass
nearly full of water, but these are the
very things that make it possible. You
cannot lift the glass with your fingers
bent—unless, of course, you actually
lake hold of it—as it is the straight-
ening of the fingers that causes the
suction.
You cannot lift an empty glass un-
less it is a very small one. The longer
the space under your hand is, the
greater change in the air pressure
sou can make by the motion of your
bngers.
This Game Is Lively.
Rome years ago "duck and a rock
was one of the popular games among
the younger boys, hut of late it seems
to have been forgotten. Any number
of boys can participate. Select a
large stone for the "rock” and each
bov must have a cobblestone or half
a brick for his "duck.”
The hoy who last finds his “duck,”
or cobblestone, is "it.” A line is
The Wonderful “Egress.”
Sometimes the great P. T. Barnum
advertised his circus so well that
more people came to see it that his
tents would hold. Then tlie difficulty
was to get those who came in to
move out so that he could get the
money others wanted to pay him.
Knowing that he had roused the curi-
osity of the public to a high pitch he
Anally hit upon a plan to make room
for everyone. He ordered great signs
painted announcing "This is the way
to the Egress!" Many following the
directions of the signs, satisfied their
curiosity and so made room for oth-
ers. Ho you know wliat the "Egress”
is?
Palings Replace Laths.

it is asserted, are cleft w-ith the grain
from hard, slow-grown chestnut poles,
and are supported on annealed gal-

Gloves Without Buttons.
Any kind of a glove is uncomfort-
able In hot weather, and especially
when one can almost cut the warm J
stickiness with a dull knife. But the j
average woman would he willing to '
undergo any amount of discomfort 1
for the sake of the newest glove sent
over from Paris. it. is made of
suede, exquisite in quality and shade,
and has a short gauntlet embroid-
ered in silk and gold.
The best selling shades are the
palest, pinkish grays and lilac and
the tans that are almost a deep
cream. These gloves are fastened
with a single button which would
put to shame some real pearls.
A
As to Proper Marrying Age.
"My dear sir,” replied Max O'Rell
to a correspondent who wrote asking
him at what age he considered he
should marry, "some people should
not marry until they are 470 years
old. 1 should say in your case be-
tween 230 and 280 would do excel-
lently.”
First Real Use of Torpedoes.
Though the Russians employed sta-
tionary mines in harbors during 1854-
5, torpedo historians date the real
start of the weapon from the out-
break of the American civil war. It
was used with considerable effect
during that struggle.
White Voile Very ^Popular.
Many beautiful gowns made of soft

modistes. These are trimmed with
lace and ornamented 'with sashes,

Rose-Flavored Butter.
The first step to flavor fresh un-
salted butter with rose, is by pack-
ing in a close vessel surrounded by a
thick layer of rose leaves over night.
Wrap the butter in a thin piece of
cheesecloth. While the American
Beauties are the most fragrant, oth-
er roses will answer. Shortly before
serving cut tender white bread in
strips nr circles, spread with the
flavored butter and place one or two
petals between the slices, allowing
the edges to show.
