FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
For an Outdoor Part th; Potato Race
Is a G-c:t funmaksr.
Two rows of potatoes are laid
alone: the ground for a distance of &
hundred feet or atout the feet
apart. A basket is placed at the
farther end from which the con-
testants start. Two players begtl
together each armed with a spoon
who must pick up the potatoes one
by one with the spoon and carry
them to the basket into which they
mu.-t drop them. The players may
take up the potatoes in any order
they please but a separate trip must
be made for each one. Sometimes
thev try to throw the potato into
the basket from a distance but if it
misses it must Ik p. eked up and so
time is lot instead of frained. When
all the players have had their turn
the winners are pitted against each
other until one of the two remaining
contestants has shown himself or
herself the more skillful.
A Poison Show.
Some people would call him a
crank but nobody could deny he
had method in his crankiness says
the Chicago News. This is what he
did: In the front window of his
drug store arranged in a semicircle
with a human skull in the center he
put a lot of ihings mostly drugs
with labels attached giving their
names. On a card conspicuously
shown were the worda "Everything
in this window is a deadly poison."
It is worthy of note that among the
articles was a cigarette placed be-
tween the jaws of the skull ; a deck
of cards some (bee a pint of whisky
and a pint of wine. It is also worthy
of note that a majority of the peo-
ple that looked at the display voted
for the cigarette as the most deadly
poison in the lot.
FREAKS OF SPORT.
How tho Gesse Beat the Turkeys b a
Ten Mile Race.
The history of 6port is made fas-
cinating by many strange incidents.
From the days when John Mytton
accepted a dare to hunt over frozen
fields in his nightelothes at mid-
night up to the last election the an-
nals of wagers are full of the most
extraordinary incidents.
No more curious examples of one
of these side issues of sport can be
found than is offered by a match
made when George IV. was still
Prince of Wales. The match was
a famous one in its day from its ex-
ceptional nature the parties engag-
ed in it and the unexpected denoue-
ment. The Hon. George Hanger
afterward Lord Coieraine. was one
of the celebrated and eccentric per-
sonages of the day. At our of the
gay parties at Carleton House Mr.
Hanger was led. in the course of the
conversation to declare that a tur-
key could travel faster than a goose.
The Prince of Wales who had great
confidence in his judgment as to all
matters of "wind limb and speed"
agreed with him in this declaration.
A Mr. Berkeley differed from them
and a match was at once arranged.
Twenty turkeys were entered against
twenty geese. The distance to le
traveled waa ten miles. The race
was for 500. Indeed the confi-
dence in the turkeys was o great
that odds of 2 to 1 were offered
and taken that these birds would
win. The prince at once arranged
to have twenty of the finest and
?m th
tune and place appointed he met
Mr Berkeley with his entries of
geese. The rare began. From the
start there wa every indication that
the turkevs would come in winners
"hands down"' or wings down. They
tripped onward at a brisk pace
which the geese with their heavier
deed at the end of three hours the
turkeys were leading by two mile.
But night was falling. As the light
grew less the turkevs displayed signs
of uneasiness. They tegan to look
at the trees that appeared by the
wayside and edged toward them.
The prince with a pole to which
was fastened a piece of red cloth
did what he could to urge them for-
ward. First one escaped and rais-
ing itself to a pendant limb settled
itself down comfortably. This one
was no sooner dislodged than an-
other established itself in a like
manner. Barley scattered along the
road did not aid in the least. The
turkeys had concluded that it was
time to turn in. and turn in or turn
out they did. In a few minntes all
of the twenty were roosting in trees
from which it was impossible to
drive them. Meanwhile the geese
came lumberimr on. They slowlv
passed their slumbering competitors.
The race finished with the geese
first and the turkeys "nowhere."
(Jeorge Hihbard in Metropolitan
Magazine.
The Note Lacts Longest.
Hone and cartilage enter so large-
! ly into the ttntcittn of the nose
and determine its characteristics
that it undergoes little jerceptible
change as a r.ile. with tne lapse of
years. The brow Iwvomes wrinkled
and crow's feet gather round the
eyes which themselves gradually
gTow dim as time rolls on. Cheeks
lose the bloom which cosmetics can-
not replace and lips their fullness
and color. T! 6 chin dimpled in
youth develops angularities or
globular if iea as the case may be
and the eyebrows become heavy
with the crop of many years'
growth. The nose shows no mark
comparable to these familiar facial
indications of the approach of old
age and practically enjoys immuni-
ty from the ravages which time
makes on the other features of tin
face. Next to the nose prolwibly
the ears as a rule show the fewesi
and least obvious signs of old age.
Reason For His Absence.
"T never see Crocket down here
any more" said the artist as he
took a seat in the most comfortable
chair. Wj y is it ? It used to be
rhat I never came down but Crocket
1 mm s wit
was here it ne wan t actually
here. I knock at the door and
Crocket."
' He came down not long ago"
he exclaimed "and said he was
awfully hard up. I offered him a
five and h- took it. That's why.'

WEIRD ODD LOTS.
The mummy of an Egyptian prin-
cess said to be over 3000 years old
which was knocked down for a few
guineas in C'ovent (Jarden is the lat-
est addition to the long list of weird
lots which have figured in auction
sale-catalogues in recent years. Not
long ago the head little larger than
a hen's egg of a central Mexican
pygmy was an offer and earlier we
read of such grewsomc lots as a
piece of the skin of a notorious pi-
rate a hook hound in a malefactor's
skin and a strip of epidermis labeled
with Jeremy Rent ham's name. A
hangman's rope a donkey's skin in
pickle coffins (bankrupt stock) and
relics of prisons and criminals have
all found recent purchasers while a
few years ago a colonial official en-
tered a London auction room just
in time to bid (if he had been so dis-
posed) for the mummy of a Maori
chietrain who had once dined a a
puer-t at his own table. Westmin-
ster Gazette.
Bull Fights In Japan.
"Few of us. however long we live
i in Japan know abottt all its cus-
! toms and habits" writes a corre
spondent. "Bull fighting is the
great semiannual sport for the peo-
ple in Fwajima and vicinity. The
fights are generally held in the coun-
try on the mountainsides where
thousands of people can see the
bulls gore each other. They are
great heavy rolling fat animals
such as I have never seen in any
other part of the empire. They are
not allowed to kill each other but
are gored enough to do considerable
damage. It is a!-o dangerous for
bystanders.
"A few month- ago 1 -aw five or
six of them being led through the
street on their way kick from the
light and thev were Stll snorting
and looked so fierce that 1 got out
of the -tri ft till thev passed I
perfectly willing to give them com-
plete right of wav." New York
Herald.
Paganini's Violin.
Writing to a German paper from
Genoa a correspondent says that
the report- as to Paganini's violin
are "only too true." "There can be
no doubt" he says "that this price-
less work of Stradivarius is slowly
but surely disintegrating. The vio-
lin is the property of the municipal-
ity but the wood worm has taken
possession and must be removed to
prevent total loss. There are al-
ready many signs of decay on the
surface and masters of the violin
maker's art say that unless remedies
are applied soon the relic valuable
in itself and made doubly so be-
cause it was once the property of
Niccolo Paganmi will fall to pieces.
These masters also say that when
the violin has been restored it wi
be more easily preserved if it U
played upon occasionally.
Dictionary Girls.
Guessing the "dictionary girls"
affords amusement for a dull hour.
Here are a few of the list and oth-
ers will come readily to mind: A
disagreeable girl Annie Mosity; a
warlike girl Millie Tan-: a geomet-
ricalgirl Polly Con; a sad girl Ella
O.; a very pleasant girl Jennie Ros-
ity. Miniature Trees.

THE SEDAN CHAIR.
Perhaps some expert in the Sia-
mese language will tell us what is iti
word for "sedan chair." When the
king of Siam's ministers protesting
against his majesty's favor toward
motoring suggested recently that
''the roval sedan chair" was always
at his disposal it is improbable that
they u-eil a word n mini-cent of
the French town for it is from th:
scene of Napoleon I vjoHaod
that the -edan chair takes its name
and perhaps . remote jMsterity will
suppose that it had some donnec-
tion with that event. lint Sedan
lir-t produced these conveyances
cent urie- tgo and thev were seen
in Knglnnd in tp&t. OB used by
James I.'s Buckingham provoked
a great jopular outcry against the
employment of men as beasts: of
burden. Sir S. Duncomle is cred-
ited with having introduced them
to London in 1534. And Bath
knows the Pickwickian sedan chair
to tins dav. Iondon Chronicle.

The Modern Submarine.
The modern submarine is a vessel
ranging from 100 to 250 tons dis-
placement driven by gas engines
when running on the surface and
by electric storage batteries when
submerged capable of maintaining
a speed of nine or ten knots an
hour above water for a distance of
500 miles and a speed of seven
knots an hour beneath the water
for a distance of twenty-five or thir-
ty miles. By the aid of a periscope
a 6ort'of reflecting camera its oc-
cupants can see all that is going on
upon the surface without exposing
any part of the vessel itself. The
vessel can dive to a depth of 100 or
200 feet. It carries a sufficient sup-
ply of air to enable its crew of eight
men to live under water for at least
a week and its armament of five
torpedoes is susflcierfl to sink a
fleet. Of such vessels the United
States now has eight and is building
lour more. Youth's Companion.
Wooden Flywheel.
After an accident to a flywheel in
a large European electric station the
superintendent designed and had
constructed a flywheel of wood
which has a diameter of eighty-five
feet and a rim width of ten feet
The thickness of the rim is about
twelve inches and it is made up of
forty-four thicknesses of beech
planks with staggered joints. The
boards were glued together and then
bolted. The inside consists of a
double wheel the twenty-four
spokes of which are fastened to two
hubs. Spoke and hubs are operated
at seventy-six revolutions a minute
which corres ponds to a peripheral
speed at the rim of 139 feet a sec-

sccoon Hair Charm.
Over in Memphis there is a man
who aaivs he went all through the
civil war and figured in some of the
hottest battle?. but never received a
scratch' said Clarence F. Hendley
of Meridian. Miss. at Hartman's.
"The old soldier explains his luck
by telling of a ball of raccoon hair
worn around his neck during the
battle. He said an old negro wom-
an told him that by wearing a ball
of raccoon hair around his neck on
a copper wire he would never get
hurt or have a spell of sickness. He
told me he tried the experiment just
at the beginning of the war and that
it proved successful. He says he
has never been ill one day nor has
he ever met with any kmd of acci-
dent and he gives all the credit to
the raccoon's hair." Nashville Ten-
nesseean.
