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.

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 face which possesses the minutest : **..than_a LAND FOR SALE. 1 have 975 acres of improved land for sale, situated 12 m lee from Athens, 5 mile# from Arnoldsville, Ga.

Furthermore, a lathering liquid has a complex and resistible constitution sufficient to yield by partial dissocia tion, owing to the tension of the sur face, a quasi solid scum, while the con stant teudeuey of the viscous liquid to slip between two layers of scum is a very slow process.” After Him. ‘it's hard to lose your friends,” re marked the man who was down and sut.
