H Got the Priw.
At ■< church fuuctlon •aeb person
required to wear conspicuously
upon bis or her clothing some pictorial
or other device that should represent
In "rebus” form the title of any well
kuown book, and all the others were
to gustos at the book Intended.
"Paradise Lost,” represented by a
card upon which five dice had been
pasted, and from which two had evi
dently dropped or been removed, was
easily guessed. "Hard Times” was no
puzzle. Neither was It hard to recog
nize "A Pair of Blue Eyes,” "Innocent**
Abroad,” "Vanity Fab” nor "Dixie
Tom’s Cabin” In spite of the pictorial
disguises.
One of the guests, however, had a
poser. Attached to one of the buttons
of his coat was a card bearing simply
the Inscription, “Ter.”
Every one at lust gave It up and
asked for the solution.
"Why, that’s easy,” he said. “It
means ‘A Tale of Two Cities,’ Man
chester and Leicester. Last syllables
—tall, In fact—of both. See?”
“That’s not fair!” said* the others.
“It’s the last syllable of Chester, Lan
caster, Gloucester, Chichester and Ex
eter. We protest!”
"Well,” be said. "1 wouH insist. Try
this one.”
He turned the card over. It was in-
Hcribed on the other side with these
three letters, “Auss.”
After a severe mental struggle every
body gave this up also.
"That ought not to puzzle you,” be
said. “It’s ’The Last of the Mohi
cans.’ ”
He got the prize.
Knew the Kind.
"It used to be. when a lady In-
Hisled on keeping her husband awake
nights to tell him how much better her
family was than his family and some
other chastening truths, that the po
liceman took her off, and she was ei
ther fined or ducked as a common
scold.”
‘‘And, pray, what did they do with
the uncommon ones? Surely in those
days, as in ours, some displayed more
talent than^tbers.”
"They probably knew better than to
monkey with the uncommon ones.
M.SP is a bright creature who learns

EXECUTING MAZEPPA.
Peter the Great’s Odd Way ef Punish
ing a Deaarter.
Peter the Great, osar of Russia, pun
ished a traitor on a notable occasion iu
a way that (be numerous victims of
the present czar’s wrath might well
wish were still in vogue.
Mnueppa, chieftain of the Cossacks,
had deserted to the king of Sweden,
with whom Peter was at war. Ma
zeppa was at once tried by court mar
tial and found guilty of high treason.
Sentence of death was passed upon
him.
Mazcppa, however, was safely in the
camp of the Swedish king, but this
fact was not permitted to stand in the
way of the carrying out of every part
of the sentence. A wooden effigy of
Mnzeppa was made, and the punish
ments were inflicted upon the Cossack
chieftains substitute.
The etttgy was first dressed In Ma
zeppa’s uniform, and upou its breast
were pinned all of the medals, ribbons
and other decorations that the real cul
prit had worn.
While the commanding general and
a squadron of cavalry stood near an
officer advanced to the wooden man
and rand the sentence. Then another
officer wrenched oft the effigy’s patent
of knighthood and bis other deeohi
tions, tore them up and trampled upon
them. This done, ho struck the wood
en gentleman a powerful blow in the
pit of the stomach, knocking him over.
Next a hangman appeared. While the
soldiers shouted he threw a noose over
tlie imitation Maxeppa's head and drag
gl'd tlie effigy to a nearby gallows,
where it was “hanged by the neck
until it was dead.”—Scrap Book.
“Bubbles" and Science.
Until Lord Rayleigh supplied the
missing explanation scientific men had
never been aide to explain how it i*
that a soup bubble eau exist. It is
only with a very few liquids that soap
bubbles can "be blown. The reason is
that some cannot lather even If shaken
up vigorously, while others lather with
complete ease. The natural question
therefore arose, “Why is it that some
liquids lather and others will not, and
how is it that a sphere of liquid film
of almost infinitesimal thickness can
exist in a still tuoist atmosphere for
hours and even days?” This was all
exhaustively explained for the first
time by Lord Rayleigh.
The explanation is partly a question
of physics and chemistry, and it may
be succinctly described, according to
Sir Oliver Ijodge, as follows: “A sur

such a scum, no matter how thin it
may be, has the tendency to slide down

Furthermore, a lathering liquid has a
complex and resistible constitution
sufficient to yield by partial dissocia
tion, owing to the tension of the sur

slip between two layers of scum is a
