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 Pure Food Magazine.

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. e N T e i AN AT % /| TN K Z ?fié{? N .

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.

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,— London Globe. .—-"_—-.

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. e ei S S it Unique Bath Apparatus.
