c7, (iTGnawmGnK Emigrant Party. This was a most amusing entertain ment given at a seaside place at tho little clubhouse built out over the water. The Invitations read: "All Aboard for the 'Manor Dock. Come in 'Emi grant Costume; August Eighth, at Eight O'clock. . "Refreshments fifty cents." The cards werelimited to a coterie who were well acquainted and as the parting of the ways was near, every one entered most heartily into the scheme. The couple who attracted a great deal of attention was a man and his wife who appeared as Dutch peas ants, including wooden shoes. "Pad dy" from "Cork" and "Sweet Kitty," his colleen, were hailed with delight Prizes were awarded to a family of Russian Jews, who were most realis tic, carrying great rolls and bags, with a bird cage and a baby which was a large doll. The grand march was formed and all passed before the inspector, who gave a clean bill of health. Refreshments consisted of sandwiches, Iced "coffee, doughnuts and pie served just as such things are found in a country station; a counter and benches had been ar ranged with tall diehes of fruit; plates of sandwiches, alternating with "fried" cakes and pie; hot tea or coffee, also Ice cjeam could be ordered."- Card tables were provided for those who wished to play, and there was a jolly dance. The possibilities of this plan are great and such an affair could be utilized by a church society or club as a means of making money. ... Flags of all nations would make an appropriate decoration. "Cobbler" Game for Wee Tots. .. .Here is something the little kiddies will enjoy: Tell one of the children to call himself the "cobbler" and sit on the floor, while the other join hands and dance around him. The cobbler says: ,' "Now is 'the time to try on the shoes," and at once, but without leav ing his seat, reaches for the feet of one In the ring while the players, who must not let go of hands, endeavor to dance out of his reach. If one is caught he, or she, becomes the cob bler. Novel Shower Scheme. This is a pretty way to present the gifts to a bride at a shower if the ar ticles are small like hosiery or hand kerchiefs. Make a Jack Horner pie in the colors the hostess wishes to have and when dessert time comes (if the occasion is a luncheon) ask each guest to pull her ribbon and as the package is forthcoming, each one has some excuse to find like "This piece of pie is too large, please hand it to Miss B " (the honored guest). And the fjfHIS is one of the large Bhapes which are again the rage in Paris. It a is turned up at one side and under the brim there is a cluster of i shaded roses. A length of black velvet ribbon Is passed under the chin . and fastned under the roses at one side. Nearly all the new picture bats show strings, either of velvet ribbon or soft satin. These strings give an old-world appearance to a simple hat and they are, for the greater part, becoming. . r next one says: "My piece is very much too small, just pass It to " Miss B ," This makes loads of fun and opening' the parcels adds zest- to . the occasion. It is well to have an appro priate sentiment written on the donor's card to be read, aloud. Handkerchiefs and stockings may be rolled and con cealed in tissue "paper with fringed ends, and so look like the snapping motto favors so popular at all social functions; the ribbons tied around each one and all put within the pie. Unique Wedding Anniversary. At the celebration of the fortieth wedding day interesting decorations on the dining room table either side of the wedding cake were small dolls, dressed in costumes which were exact reproductions of the bridal apparel worn by the bride and bridegroom on their wedding day. Every one was so delighted in comparing fashions, and a daughter of the couple wore her mother'swedding gown, as the bride of 40 years could not get into it. The place cards bore pictures of the honored guests taken at the time ol the original wedding and ones of to day, under which was. written "Forty Years After." A picture of the first home and the present one were also on the card. It is ' needless to say the guests were much pleased to . have these valuable souvenirs. The boxes containing wedding cake bore the date of tho wedding and the present date. Practical and Seasonable. . So many requests have come to me for simple but well balanced menus for stag affairs. I think these two very good; precede the second one with watermelon and cantaloupe balls In glasses, slightly sugared, and a few drops of sherry poured over them an hour before serving. Keep on ice.

This is a very old game, but I have no doubt that it will be new to many, and I am sure those of us who knew it in our youth will be glad to renew the acquaintance. Any number of players may participate. The one who proposes the game ex plains that the letter chosen must be gin the answer to the question; foi instance, suppose the letter "A" ie agreed upon and the leader says "men tion the name of an American city be ginning with "A," (Atlanta); a for eign city, (Amiens); an American river, (Alabama) ; a mineral, (ame thyst); a vegetable (artichoke); an animal, (ape); an article to be worn, (arctics), etc Questions innumerable may be sug gested.

NEW CURE FOR SWELL-HEAD Let the Fowls Go by Themselves, Separating From Others, If It Can Be Done Conveniently. (By MRS. E. M. STETSON. California!) There Is a practice among poultry people to catch a fowl with swell head and squeeze the white matter out, thinking that this will relieve the bird of its corruption and cause it to get well. This Is entirely wrong. A sac or covering surrounds this white matter, keeping it from going any further than the one organ. When this sac is broken, as it must necessarily, be by the breaking of its outside covering in order to eject it from the eye, the contagion is allowed to go down the nose and spread to the whole head. . The bird is then a hopeless case, for there is no remedy now but the ax. The matter which will be found in the blood of the fowl is also of a very contagious nature and contact with other organs will cause them to take on similar conditions of corruption and decay. - If the bird Is kept in a warm place and is fed on highly stimulating and nutritious food the blood will . finally right itself, but It cannot do so if largely re-Infected, or vaccinated with the virus of the disease throughout the entire head.' The proper way to do Is not to touch the head, just letting the fowls go by themselves; this is better than the squeezing treatment, but separate them if convenient from the other chiekens and keep warm and feed all they will eat. If the eye is not pecked by the other chickens, as In fighting over food, or the sac is not broken, there is no special danger of the other birds catch ing the disease, even if they are allow ed to run together. We spent several dollars for roup medicine, worked incessantly, causing ourselves and the poor chickens un told misery by trying the squeezing out method, and always lost the cases. Now we let them run and, save for a blind eye, we seldom ever have one die. MACHINE FOR TESTING EGGS Electric "Daylight" Tester Has Inter esting Automatic Features Age May Be Determined. Testing eggs ffatdoors or in a room having ordinary light, where eggs may be sorted and crated at the same time, is possible with the machine here shown. The outfit Is about three feet long, with a roller at each, end over which an endless canvas belt moves. About six inches apart on this belt are small metal saucers, each of which holds an egg, says the Popu lar Electricity. Centrally located above the belt Is an electric lamp, re ceiving current from a regular light ing circuit, or from 24 dry batteries, and over the lamp is placed a hood having an opening in the top. The belt is run by turning a crank, and the erectric lamp automatically LPoa ana wnoM38me Baiau oetttUse " lights when an egg passes over it, rfTooked - mussy and unattractive? The veallng the condition of the egg to An Electric "Daylight" Egg Tester Having Interesting Automatic Fea tures. the person looking into the hood. An other interesting feature of the ma chine is the automatic turning of the egg upon the belt, thus enabling the tester to examine it on all sides. The age may - be determined by the way the egg has settled In the shell. A perfectly fresh egg shows a clean, deep orange color, while a bad one is almost black. As the eggs pass under the hood, the good ones are left to roll out on a canvas extension table, while the bad ones are removed by hand. Keep Selecting the Best Hens. Constant selection is the only way to get your.flock up to where you want it. When you see a good bird, look carefully and note well her char acteristics. Put her in a breediaff-pen and use her as a breeder another year. Do this throughout the sum mer and when fall comes you will have made your selection of the best birds and a breeding pen of the best you have. Build Up Utility. There is only one way to build up the utility pf a flock and that is by careful selection. If each year we save only the- eggs from the very best layers for hatching purposes, each gen eration will become better layers. This work can be greatly assisted by obtaining males from a heavy laying train. Tainted Food Dangerous. Letting the birds get at tainted food is dangerous business this time of year.

Happinesses are but his wayside camp ings; his soul is in the Journey. -Robert Louis Stevenson. SALAD MAKING. All hostesses like to serve salads attractively and we are all longing to find some new and fetching way of presenting old materials. Almost anything it is said except milk and flour may be made Into a ralad, yet we would avoid the com bination of foods which do not har monize as we avoid inviting to our tables those whom weknow are not congenial to. our friends. Carrots, potatoes, turnips , and such vegetables are cooked before combin ing in a salad. Cut in cubes, or balls. Beets are sliced or if small left whole. Food value should tome first In the making of a salad especially where It is to form the main part of a meal, like a luncheon. Then the arranging and garnishing is a feature most important. Who has not turned away from a perfectly good and wholesome salad because it perfection of combination and flavor count for nothing if the salad has been carelessly prepared. When meats and potatoes are used a salad Is always improved if these stand in seasoned, dressing for a while before combining. If green plants as lettuce, cress, par sley and such green things- are used, they should be crisp and fresh. Ring3 from red and green peppers the coral of the tomato in fact there is no color combination which cannot be delightfully managed with vegeta bles. . The point. to a salad is its flavor, and if it is elusive and unnamable so much the better, we all like mystery in a degree even In our food. The salad dressing is another Im portant consideration. The , simplest Is the French, the most popular raj mayonnaise. . For French dressing one part of vinegar with tbrea parts oil is a good proportion, with salt and pepper to taste., A teaspoonful of powdered sugar is liked by many. Practice Makes Perfect.

GOLDEN TEXT "Before they call, 1 win answer." jsa. t5:Z4. , No sooner were the Israelites sent on their Journey than the Egyptians repented and pursued (vvr"5-9).' Then it was that Moses encountered the first of that complaining (v. 10) against which he struggled, until God took him from this ; earth. They "cried" (v. 10) but they did not rest It did' look like a dangerous situation and there were but three possible methods of procedure, (a) To return to slavery, (b) to die in the wilder ness, or (3) to go forward in faithful obedience, trusting God for deliver ance. Their salvation (v. 13) was from God,, see Acts 4:12; Heb. 6:8, 9. God's leading, 13:31, 22, had brought them' to this place; now He will mani fest His glory, will get unto Himself "honor" (v. 17), ' Testing the Israelites. I. Protection, vv. 19-22. As the an gel of . God (Christ?) came between Israel and the Egyptians we are re minded of Ps. 34:7' "the angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him and deliereth them." The same cloud that brought darkness to the Egyptians. brought light to the Israelites. Even so we have the "Light," Luke 2:32; John 8:12, 9:5, and are admonished to walk in the light, Eph. 5:8. While God brought confusion to the Egyptians and was testing the Israelites by causing them to "fear not, stand still and see" (v. 13), He was at the same time giv ing Moses an opportunity to work out His plan of deliverance (v. 16). Aa the strong east wind blew it heaped up the waters, dried out the muddy bottom and opened a passage for the deliverance of all the chosen ones. Then it was time for prayer to cease (v. 14, 15) and for action to" begin, the seemingly impossible Is now 'quite possible, r- 19:26. Notice, how ever, that od had used . a man (Moses) in His work of deliverance. It was a very simple shepherd's stall that God directed Moses to use. Surely the power was not in the qjafl nor in the arm back of the staff. The same waters that had seemed to be such a barrier are now used as a wall of protection (v. 22) on the right hand and on the left leaving no opportunity for a flank attack. Their only way of escape was forward and each step they took was one of faith. II. Pursuit, vv. 23-25. Pharaoh had judged that the Israelites were en tangled, "perplexed", (v. 3) in the wil derness and that Moses had Inadvert antly led them into a natural trap which was to the advantage of the Egyptians. Further, we judge that with the darkness of the cloud before them, the Egyptians were not fully aware of the fact that they were fol lowing Israel into the midst of the waters. .Blind fury will lead a man into strange surroundings and to per form insane acts. -This new way was not prepared for Pharaoh nor is the straight and narrow path which leads to glory for the unrepentant sinner. Jehovah was near at hand that "morn ing watch" (v. 24), even as today He blesses those who keep that hour, One "look" from Jehovah brought confusion and discomfort upon the pursuers. - . The Safe Path. . . . III. Punishment, vv. 26-31. The path that is safe for faith is no place foi the disobedient. God looking through that cloud paralyzed the proud forces of Pharaoh in the place of all places most dangerous. God not alone looked but took off their chariot wheels and fear overcame them. Then they .real ized that Jehovah was fighting and sought to flee. ' Again God uses a man in the working out of His plan and Moses is instructed to stretch forth his hand over the sea, v. 26. As the morning breaks the waters re turn to their level, and again God uses natural forces In a supernatural manner. Like as one would shake off some useless, offensive, appendage so God was rid of the army of Pha raoh (v. 27 marg.). A careful read ing of this story, especially verse 28 R. V., clearly indicates the probability that Pharaoh himself did not perish. Thus it was that Israel saw the band work of the Lord upon the Egyptianu while they themselves " remained a saved people, saved by the power of Jehovah. Great fear came upon them (v. 31) and they "Believed the Lord and His servant Moses." How sad that their faith proved so short lived and that they so soon murmured against God and His servant Moses. Thus we see the nation delivered, consecrated and placed under the di rect government and guidance of God. Egypt did not keep filth with Israel to let them "go and worship" and God wrought a complete deliverance. God's judgment of the sin of Egypt was carried out to the , last degree, but in strict Justice. On one hand is God's guidance and over against that the lengths men will go whose hearts are hardened in rebellion. The .blas phemous daring of the Egyptians was rebuked as they attempted to march along God's highway of deliverance Israel followed Moses, the prophets III ARHH If IHAAia mm iuuk FRIEND'S AD VICE And Found Health in Lydia E.
