treated as the rabble, and you should
‘mot resort to the politiclan’s means
of arousing interest by grandstand
methods. Avoid the kind of amuse

The shooting off of firecrackers, pyro

A scheme which smacks of origin

Boston girl, who will entertain at her
country home a house party over In

nis and the old, old game of lw:u‘ts,'
with Cupid as score keeper, will be
played throughout the day, but on thoi
evening of the glorious Fourth will
come the crowning fun of the occa
slon—a most original and amusing
dinner, For this function the young
hostess will transform her living
room porch into a dining room. Pa
triotic and artistic effects will be
achieved by draping American and
French flags around the sides of the
inclosure, with tall palms in attrac

an ordinary kitchen pine table one of
the round wooden tops every hostess
provides in several different sizes for
the dinner entertaining. THe ex
quisite linen damask tablecloth will
hide all suspicion of the table's ple
beian origin, and the pretty board
will gleam with silver and glass. One
course will be served on blue Revolu
tionary china worth its weight in gold
to a collector. The table decorations
will be small silk flags, and broad tri
colored ribbons will run out from the
centre of the table and hang down to
the floor. A large Liberty bell of red,
;whlto and blue flowers will be sus
pended over the table. A mound of
geraniums shorn of their leaves
‘makes the floral centrepiece. At each
girl's place will be arranged dainty
little rustic baskets filled with bluish
purple sweet peas, and tiny Conti
nental military hats made of dark
blue crinkled paper ornamented with
a gold cockade are designed for the
men's dinner favors. The menus are
to be imposing scrolls, with seals—
small Declarations of Independence
tied up with tri-colored ribbon.
Instead of the names of viands that
appear on the usual menu. on this
scroll menu there will appear a per-l
plexing lot of questions written outl
by the clever hostess. 1
When the guests are taking their
seats she will make the rather start
ling announcement “that whether you
people get anything to eat or not will
depend upon your own wits.,” You
can well imagine the consternation
of the company. And she will farther
explain that “if you_give the right
answers to the questions asked on the
scroll by your plate the servants will
help you: otherwise you go without.
So be careful what you write."
The first brain splitting puzzier is,
“What will you be in if you answer
wrong?” And if you're not pretty
| quick at this sort of nonsense you
will not write on the card, “The
soup.” The next question is, * Where
did you go at the St. Louis Exposition
10 have some fun?” “Pike.” This
rare and delicious fish having. been
successfully captured and enjoyed,
the attention is drawn to the third
proposition.
“What is the only country Russia
has ever whipped?” If history is
Your favorite diversion you will know
that it is Turkey, and the butler will
have the pleagsure of presenting a
piece of that delicious fowl.
“What famous singer spent most
of the winter in America after an
absence of some years?” Patti.
Further along the list comes the
bunker, “If your opponent on the golf
links did you one more hcle what
would you consider yourself?” Pos
sibly, if the victory is not too recent,
you might own to being “beat.”
After the vegetable has been masti
cated the thrilling question to be an
swered is, “What would you do if a
pistol were pointed at your head?”
'Quail, no doubt, if you happen to be
of the fair sex.
“What would bread be with——2"
Butter,
“The unfortunat: person will find
his allowance is in what?” Pickle. l
“What were the beaus of olden
times often called?” Macaroni.
“What was the name of Noah'’s sec
ond son?” Ham.
. “If you girls wanted to go to Japan
what would you say to your father?”
Lettuce. ;
The next apropos query would be
for most persons rather an easy one.
“With what do the children cele
brate the Fourth of July?” Crack
ers,
~ When the sweet course appears
‘these two questions will have to be
answered before one is served:
“If a woman, what do you do when
you see a mouse?” Ice cream. &
“Where does a man put an engaga
ment ring?” Lady finger. - v
“Where do you go after the play
for supper?” Case.
These are merely a few questions
given by way of suggestion, but, of
course, each hostess must be gnided
in her selection by the menu. The
mistakes in answering the questions
will be delightfully funny, and faney
the sport to be had in jollying the
guests who get the most impossible
mixtures and the poor unfortunates
who are ravenous with nothing more
substantial than a pickle and a
cracker to satisfy their appetites.
Three minutes is the time allowed
for answering each question. The
hostess will keep score and at the end
of the feast will present to the girl
who has dined both wisely and well
a dainty muslin sunbonnet “to keep
her head always cool,” and successful
guesser of the masculine success with
An “umbrella to ward off brain
storms.” i
Quite a novel function not as elah
orate as a dinner is a Fourth of July
tea. The picturesque feature of this
affair is to have the girls pour tea and
serve lemonade dressed in colonial
frocks, quaint bonnets, mitts and
sandals. This tea will be held on the
lawn, and over the tea and lem
onade tables will be large Japanese
umbrellas, which are more attractive
than hot and uncomfortable tents.
The ices, sandwiches and bouillon are
served from the house and passed by
the servants.— From What-To-Eat,

THE DAYS OF SEVENTY-SIX!
My Grandmother's Story.
BY E. NORMAN GUNNISON.
It was in the early summer,
When the drumming of the drummer,
Growing daily grum and grummer,
Beat the time for marching men.
When across each shaded \'ufie_\',
And through every street and alley,
Calling patriots_to rally,
Came the summons ouce again.
We were in a blaze of glory,
For our gran’sire told the story,
How the Hessian and the Tory
From the face of Washington
Fled, like sheep when sore affri%hted,
How their stalwart ranks were blighted,
Just as morning fires were lighted,
Lre they scarce had fired a gun.
How, at Princeton and at Trenton,
Troops that Howe h?d fondly leant on,
Were surprised, while they were bent on
Christmas joys and hours of glee.
How their ranks were crushed and broken,
As a signal and a token
That their death-doom should be spoken
By the cannon of the free.

And how Sullivan’s deep thunder,
With his cannon gleammg under,
Rent the morning air asunder, :
As our Stark broke inte town;
And how Forest’s grand artillery
Put the Hessian troops in pillory,
Pouring forth from the “Distillery **
dron showers to crush them #owvn._
Oh, what shouts we gave to cheer them!
%'h'ough we knew they could not hear them,
till our blessings lingered near them—
“We were girls and could not fight.
But we had an only brother, :
He, the idol of our mother,
Shared with Stark and many another
7 In the glory of that night.
And, ah me! I had a lover,
ough the calling of the plover
Sounds above the flowers which cover
“ His last rest on Monmouth plain.
LIE{QW his eyes flashed wide with glory
'As he heard our gran’sire’s story!
i'Can it be that, crushed and gory,
- He was buried with the slain?
He was but a boy, and tender,
And was delicate and slender.
Ah, what service could he render?
__But he took his father’s gun.
““hough he mjg]ht be slightly froward,
.\ was certainly no coward;
57;-:"@6 morning, Abner Howard
‘f;,{p“-ned the troops of Washington.
”i.fl he days-grew sad and cheerless,
" th our filen were marc]hmg feariess,
> g up the army, peerless,
i the»B‘;'xtlsh to the coast.
d at Monmouth’s dreadful battle g
‘e could head the muskets rattle.
Men were slaughtered there like cattle,
In the ranks of either host.
But Lord Howe was sore defeated
;V?d"hm shattered troo\f)s retreate(i,
ith their dead behind, unsheeted,
And, in spite of all his talk,
‘Every hu'elmg Hessian pelter**
Rushed and hurried, helter skelter,
Down to Sandgr Hook for shelter,
And took refuge in New York.
Then came days of cheer and sadness—
Days of hope and days of madness, :
Of despondency and glladness;
And, alas, they told to me
Of his death! I could not save him,
But no tyrant conld enslave him.
"Twas my gift. I freely gave him
That my country might be free.

EURMESE BUDDHISTS.
Worship of the image of Buddha
as practiced in Burma is vividly de
lineated in the photograph on this
page. It is the boast of the Burmese
that nowhere, unless possibly in Cey
lon are the teachings of the great
Gautama preserved and followed
with the purity that they are in
Burma. Yet taking the teachings as
they have come down to us, no one
can conceive of the teacher accepting
or In any sense approving the rites
practiced by his followers of this gen
eration; they are so utterly allen to
his doctrine as we conceive it. The
Buddhists pricsts have their own wav
of reconciling the formality, the rites
and ceremonies of the worship In
their temples with the Buddhism that
Gautama taught, but to us it seems
that it is removed from it as far as a
pontifical mass in St. Peter's is from
the simplicity of a Quaker meeting.
The extraordinary fact is that Gau
tama, born as is supposed in 540 B.

E GIRLS WORSHIPING BUDDHA IN THE CAVE :
o 4 SOF BIRGY!.
C.—about the time that Ezra and
Nehemiah were gathering their peo
ple to return to the Holy Land by per
mission- of Cyrus—began to declare
his faith in opposition to the Brah
manism which had dominated the
thought of India for more than a
thousand years, should have been
able to establish it single-handed, and
that in our time, twenty-five centuries
later, it survives and is the creed of
five hundred million human beings.
As far as we can gather from the
traditions that have come down to
us, Gautama revolted from Brahman
ism, and like Ecclssiastes, sought
spiritual peace by various means. He
first tried philosophy, and then bodily
austerites by which he nearly lost his
life. At last he made his great dis
covery, as he states in his sacred
writings, that “To cease from sin, to
get virtue, to cleanse one’s own heart,
is the only way to peace. This,” he
said, “is the doctrine of Buddha.”
To die to desire, to wrake absolute
self-surrender to God, to be uterdy
indifferent to the world, sustained
by the inward life, “to be nothine,”
until finally individuality was swal
lowed up in the Nirvana, that was
Buddha's idea as it appears to the
modern student. It is difficult to un
derstand how such a doetrine could
have become corrupted into the Bud
dhism that kissed the toe of an image,
if we had not seen men prostrating
themselves before a crucifix and pray
ing before a relic.—Christian Herald.
A Tree 1200 Years Old.
Whatever the age of the trees in
this country, the Prince of Wales can
assert that he has seen one in Japan
twelve hundred years old. A giant
pine, with its branches supported by
stout props, it is a permanent sacri
fice to Buddha. Kobo Daishi built
a pagoda in honor of Buddha twelve
centuries ago, and in front of it he
- set his pine as a perpetual offering,
in place of flowers, which should in
the ordinary course be offered.
Twelve hundred years is a long per
fod in which to trace the history of
a tsey but it is only half the age
of the present dynasty, and they were
able to tell the prince as plain a tale
of the pine tree's growth as of the
descent of their present emperor,—

Life of the Railwayman,
Trainmen are the class of workers
most subject to long, irregular hours
of duty, and there is nothing so like-
Iy to make a man unnerved and unfit
for dangerous work as this. The
sirain of long hours and the restless
ness of irregularity sovn find out the
strongest and mout rebust of men,
Little wonder, then, that we find
them with prematurely gray heads.—

A Feat of Communication.
The story of what may be called
a remarkable feat of communication
is told in Harper’s Weekly. Thirty
seven years ago, it is recalled by the
writer, it took Stanley nine months
of travel through the vast equatorial
forests of Africa to reach Ujiji and
find Livingstone. During almost his
entire journey he was lost to com
munication with the outside world.
At 12.30 p. m. on Wednesday,
March 29, a cable despatch was sent
through the Western TUnion Tele
graph Company from New York to
Nairobi, in British East Africa, ga
station thirty days’ march from Liy
ingstone’s headquarters; and a reply
was received through the Postal
Telegraph Cable Company shortly
after noon on the following Friday,
an interval of less than fifty hours.
The cable despatch was transmitted
first to the Azore Islands, and thence
to Lisbon, Gibraltar, Malta, Alex
andria, Port Said, Suez, Aden, Zan
zibar and Mombasa, on the East
African coast. Thence it was sent
inland to Nairobi by telegraph, and
from that point was conveyed thirty
miles to the house of the recipient,
the total approximate distance being
slightly more than 10,000 miles, Ow
ing to the difference in time between
New York and Nairobi, the message
lost eight hours in transmission, and
consequently was not received till
Thursday—otherwise the two days
occupied by its journey and the re
turn of the answer might have been
shortened considerably.
