Are you a mother with several little lade, and lassies Have you ever planned to have the former enjoy an afternoon on year lawn? Have you ever been teased and cajoled into giving a birthday party for the latter 1, And, finally, af er maturity of plans and lov- ing consent, after arrangement of the thew - and and one things necessary to a lawn party of big or little folk, have you ever paused to take breath, and in pausnig, found that the sun had disappeared behind a cloud, and just as the last little guest arrives with her daintgIttire, and charged with her mother's admorkition to "keep her dress tidy," have you ever felt a drop of rain on hand or cheek To therm who have experienced it, it • fa at this "unforeseen contingency " that, with the poet, you would flee "far from the mad- dening crewel." But no that cannot be done. Some one must do something, .De- spite rueful looks at the play -ground the' children roust be hurried into the houses and, deprived of their anticipated pleasure, must have something to take ite place. What good, now, are hammocks and ewings ? Gone are the joys of archery and croquet I In vain the delight of " still palm "and "tag goal." It would not be a marvelous thing for us who are interested in children to be caught in just such a way this summer, and I would suggest e,,,,thing or two, which al- though not new to many may be a help to others : maw Bees. Have a board about two or three feet long with a hole in the center the size of a breckfast plate. Plaoe this slanting!), against a chair or ottoman. Have four or six bean bags of two different sizes. Give each child one turn with all the bags at a distance of five paces or so, some one keeping account on paper. Those—if there are more than one—who throw the largest number of bags into the hole have a second turn. Then those who have the largest number in the second turn throw again'until there are only two children• left. These throw also and the one who wins is entitled to a prize if you wish to have one. An orange or a fancy cake is sufficient, just a libte some- thing to betoken the victer, This is also a good out door game : Demme.. Draw, as you have ability, with a crayon, a tailless donkey three feet long on a sheet. Pin this to the wall a little distance from the floor. Provide each child with a tail of colored tissue paper, twisted and fringed at one end, and a pin for attaching purposes at the other. Blindfold the children in turn and place them eight or ten feet from the sheet. Let them turn around three times and, with one arm extended and hold- ing the tail by the pin, let them move for- ward in the direction they think the donkey is and pin the tail upon the first object they touch. Sometimes it is the sheet, sometimes a guest, sometimes a piece of furniture. his makes it all the more enjoyable. The one who pins the tail nearest the right place wine the prize. HOT ADD COLD. One goes out of the room. An article is hidden. The child returns and is guided in finding it by some one playing the loudly - loudly when he is near it, or "hot,' softly when away, or " cold." The music serves to amuse those not actively engaged in the search. PoneTert All stand in a circle, with one in oenter blindfolded with a pointer of oane. The cir- cle moves around until the leader taps the floor with his cane. He then extends it and the one to whom it points takes it in his hand. The leader asks him questions, and he must anawer in a disguised voice. If the leader guesses his name correctlt, the other takes his place; if not, the leader tries until he is correct. If you have them march out to supper, out plain white cards in two, all differently, or if they are old enough to read readily, out cards with quotations from Mother Goose, and pass them about. Those two who have the corresponding corners or quo- tation, go out to the table together. This idea can be elaborated at pleasure with cards decorated with ribbons, eto. These are only a few games of the many that we can think of in moments of leisure. It is when the emergency suddenly arises that our wits flee. and if we have a few ideas where we can put our hand on them, our delight in making the children enjoy themselves won't seem so much like what Samantha Allen calla a "pleasiire exertion." Cake Making. Ie is not of so much importance to know how to make a variety of kinds, for two or three kinds well made are much to be pre- ferred to a dozen half made. Although in cake making, as in every thing else, experi- ence is a good teacher, it is usually s very , severe one, and most people would rather profit by another's experience than by their After getting a good recipe, first have near at hand on your board or table every- thing required in the reeipet, so that you will not have to leave your cake, while mix- ing to get some ingredient wanted. Grease the baking pans well with good lard or but- ter, or if liked better, out a piece Of white paper to fit the bottom of the pan, grease it and the sides of the pan. It is beat to nee paper on the bottom if the pan is an old one or when the WPM is inclined to be too hot and burn the bottom of flap cake. Although many women prefer earthenware for mixing cake, good clean tin is every bit as good, and nitwit lighter and easier to handle. Have aide from the general mixing dish a entailer erne and quite shallow for beating the white of the eggs. . In making cake with eggs always beat the whites and yolks eeparately, no matter how cheap your cake may be, and you will be sure to have it nice and light. In separating the white of an egg from the yolk, it is the better way to break a small hole in the narrow end and let the white run out of it, for in this way there is very little danger of the yolk breaking and mix- ing with the white: If the least particle of the yolk mixes- With the white, it will be alniost impossible to beat the white to a stiff froth. In frosting it is especially important that the white should be free from the yolk and perfectly clear, or the icing will be a failure. Before 'mixing the cake beat the whites very' stiff and put in a Old place until wanted for use. Beet the butter and sugar to a °remit in the mixing dish, using &wooden spoon, add the beaten yolks, mix well together, etir in thewhites, nowaift the,iletver on to the mould., ing board and measure Never measure before Wang. Pitt the quantity to be need into the WV; add the baking powder, and sift all into the mixing digt, ,Always put the baking powder through the dry flour, and the Mote flour Is sfftad the lighter will be the cake. After the flour has been put in stir just enough to mix it with the other ingredient; and when the batter is smooth and free from lamps it is ready for baking. Some women believe that the longer cake is [stirred the better it will be, when Vie contrary is the feet, for too much stirring after the ingrecliente are blended will make the cake tough. Pour the batter in the baking pans, and let it settle into piece of its own accord, but do not smooth it with a veep or knife. Have the oven of medium heat, but as it is a hard matter to regulate an oven, if it [minas lot a dish of cold water should be placed in it to prevent the crake ,burning, and a paper cap pliteed over the top of the cake. When looking into the oven to see hew it is getting along, do not open the door Kid shut it quickly, thereby oreating a draught which will cause the oake to fall and be heavy, but after looking at or turning the cake, close the door of the oven slowly. When the cake *brinks from the side of the pan and stops singing it is a sign it is done. Remove it Om the oven to the -board or table, turn the pan 012 its side, and holding the left hand against the top of the cake, turn out the cake. Place the pan upside down on the table or board and put the cake to cool on it. if it sticks to the sides of the pan do not try to shake it out, but loosen carefully with a knife. Never put atm, cake until perfeotly cold, and then put it in a covered tin cake box or jar. It will keep much better if wrapped in a towel or napkin. In layer cake never spread the jelly or cream until the cake is cold, or it will twain through and make it soggy. When frosting wait until the cake oold ; turn the cake face down, and al- ways frost the bottom. While icing, the knife used for spreading the frosting should be dipped frequently into cold water. In cutting cake always use a sharp irnife. The Way to Pour Tea. There is more to be learned about pouring tea and coffee than most people are willing to believe. If these decoctions are made at the table, which is by far the best way, they require experience, judgment, and exactness; if they are brought on the. table ready made, it still requires judgment so to apportion them that they shall prove suffici- ent in quality for the family, and that the elder members shall have the stronger oups. Often persons pour out tea who, not being at all aware that the first cup is the weakest and that the tea grows stronger as you proceed, bestow the poorest cup upon the greatest stranger, and give the strongest to a very young member of the family, who would be better without any. Where several cups of.equal strength are wanted you should pour a little into each, and then go back, inverting the order as you fill them, and, so the strength will ba apportioned properly. Bathing in -Het Weather. In spite of all that has been said on the subject, it is remarkable how many people miss, one of the greatest sources of health and enjoyment frora not understanding the use of water in theloilet. A sponge bath should be taken at least daily in hot weather. For persons in vigor - outs health the proper time is immediately on rising in the morning; but for weak persons and the aged, the middle of tbe forenoon is better. Only the very robust are benefited by cold baths. For raost, cool, tepid, or slightly warm water is better. After a day of heat and dust, and especially of hard work, cleanliness is secured and refreshing sleep promoted by a warm bath at bed -time. The dress should be appropriate to the season, and also to the occupation. It should be light in color and weight, loose and easy, but in our changeable climate not too thin. It is advisable for most persons to wear light underwear throughout the summer. All tight clothing should be discarded, as imped- ing the circulation'preventing free move- ments and oreating discomfort. Stiekfaat for Flies. "Mix together equal parts by measure of melted rosin and castor oil. Sur until thoroughly mixed—which will take only a minute. While yet a little warm spread thin and evenly on any etrong paper that is not porous. We use foolscap, writing paper, catalogue covers, showbillsz &o. Spread with a case -knife or any straightaidged in- strument, slightly warmed. Leave a narrow border to handle with. Lay the paper on the tables, shelves, or any spare places where flies are numerous. They will soon cover the papers. As soon as they alight they willstick fast and soon pull themselves down. When the papers are covered two or three flies deep, put it in the stove and replace with another one. Be sure and use no water. The oil prevents the rosin from hardening and has the peculiarity of not evaporating. The oil leaves no odor when cool. Ten cents will buy enough to kill all the flies in a house." Canning Cern. Husk and silk the corn, and put into a kettle of boiling water; let scald, but not enough to conk. Then out it off, and to five quarts of corn add an ennce of tartaric acid. Pat the corn in a perserving kettle, with enough to cover it well, and heat it to the boiling point, stirring well in the meantime. Put in cans and seal. It will keep perfect- ly. Be sure that the liquor covers the cora in the oans. When used, drain off the liquor, soak in water ten or fifteen minutes, cook and season to taste, adding a trifle of soda. Some may object to the tartaric acid; that is only to keep the corn from spoiling, and is harmless; soak in two or threewaters, and no trace of the acid will be left. Corn canned in this way is delicious, and has a fresh taste. A little ammonia andborax in the water when washing blankets keeps them soft and prevents shrinkage. When you give your 'cellar its spring cleaning, add a little copperas water and ealt to the whitewash. Chemists say that it takes more than twice as Mu& sugar to sweeten preserves, sauce, ete., if put in when they begin to orrok, at it dotes to sweeten after the fruit is cooked. House plants that have become sickly looking can often, by the aid 01 a few dee% otnitrate of soda, be quicklybrought to a perfect state of health again ; but being very powerful in its action this must be used in small quantitiee, a piece about the size of a marble Is large enough for a twelve.inoll pot. This fertillizer has ale° the effect of forcing plants on mach More quickly than other maperes, and is therefore valuable for assisting those that are naturally of elow growth.

While with the animal Minton in the jun- gles and foothills to the north of Banana we heard of a man wolf. On two fennel* 000A- SiODS we had received like reports but had given little attention to them. The super, stitious natives of India have many, strenge beliefs. One of them is that a brother e has murdered a brother turns into a nian wolf, and roams the, jungles 100 years .as penance. While they hold this animal in fear:and terror, as well they may, they reason that if he is killed another relative of the family, must take his place and serve out the remainder of his sentence. Therefere, while they would tak to us of these monsters, they were always very careful not to locate them and bring them into dewier. We had long before made up our minds that there was nothing so very queer in finding a wild man in the jungles of India. Children are carried off by semi -wild men or by wild animals al- most daily, and even the civilized countries have their wild men roaming through ,the forest. We were willing to pay s round sum for the capture of a man wolf, believing he would turn out to be only a wild man, but at the same time a greater curiosity than a We had been making our headquarters in a village for several days. BAITING OCR TRAPS FOR nsretras and natives on the look out for serpents, when one midafternoon I got into a ham- mock slung between two trim on the out- skirts of the village and dropped off to aleep. My two white men were already asleep in hammocks some distance away, and suoh Of the natives as were not out for us were lying by to pass the heat of the day. There were two or three children playing at the door of a hut near me, but making little or no noise. It was as quiet as if a spell had been placed upon every inhabitant. I had not slept over half an hour when a mosquito bit me on the cheek and started me up. I lay on my right side, and through the meshes of the hammock could see the edge of the jungle, about forty rods away. The children were still at play, and were a hundred feet nearer the jungle than I was. Almost as soon as I opened my eyes I saw a dark objeot leap from the cover of the thicket to the shelter of a single bush on a olearecbground. It looked to me in the ' brief glimpse I had like a gorilla. I measured the leap afterward with a tape line and it was twenty-three feet. I did not start up, but rubbed my eyes wide open to identify the strange creature. It had cotkered until I could see nothing but a black spot, and it was two or three minutes before it moved again. Then it suddenly leaped into view, bounded for the children ',exactly as a monkek leaps, and before I could call out it had seized a little boy about two and a -half years old, and was retreating with him. It was on its hind legs, both arms aroamd the child, and run- ning with great swiftness. The body was naked and hairy, but I was convinced that it was that of a human being. I yelled out and the creature whirled about, raised the child on high, and, with 1 A SHRILL SCREAIYI OF ANGER, dashed it down on the hard, baked earth with terrible force. Then it shook its fists at the villagers swarming out, and, dropping. down on all fours, bounded away into the Jangle. We found the childgasp- ing its last. That fling had broken almost every:bone in nis body. It was not until the villagers were convinced that I had seen the creature and was assured of its identity that the head man acknowledged it to be a man wolf, and that it had long been a mer.,, ace to the locality. It was, he said, 1118 cousin, who had killed a brother fifteen years before. As the creature had now killed three -hildren, against whom it seemed to have a particular spite, and as its presence menac- ed the safety of the village he would give his consent for us to seek its capture. I helped him to reach this conclusion by a present valued at $20, and by agreeing not to give the matter away in any other village. The first thing to be done was to learn the habits of the oreature. He was known to eat meat, roots, barks, and almost any- thing else which came in his way. He must sleep, but no one could say when, as he had been seen prowling around at all hours of the day and night. He was very strong and fierce, and it was doubted if one of the tiger cages would hold him. We decided to tempt his curiosity, and, to this end, one of our cages was placed in the jungle, and the door so arranged as to shut the creature in if he but entered. But he took no notice of the curiosity, or, if he did it was to fight shy ef the suspected trap. Twice in three days he was seen again on the borders of the village evidently bent on further mis- chief, and the natives finally found a path which the man wolf used in going and com- ing from a water hole. As goon as they CAME IN WITH THE NEWS we etarted out to set a different trap for him. The steel traps to match wild animals have no teeth and jaws oome together in a way to give one a leverage on the other. I have known of a full-grown tiger being caught by the foot and firmly held in a trap no larger than the boys set for mink and muskrat. We replaced the chain with a hall -inch rope made of native grasses, and as soon as a ;suitable spot had been selected we excavated a hole, buried the trap out of sight and then bent down a sapling and tied the end of the rcpe to it. This sapling was held down by a trigger which a sharp pull would release. When the trap had been set no eye could detect anything suspicious around the spot, and we felt certain that the creature would get into trouble if he passed that way. When we could do no more we retired to the village, about a mile away. It was about sundown when we arrived, and we were just in time to else a wonderful pro- ceeding. A large and savage -looking hyena came out of the jungle and sniffed and snuffed and growled at us from a distance of about 20 rods. We refrained from shooting for fear the reports would frighten the man wolf away, and while a hundred of us stood gazing at the beast another suddenly ap- peared. It was the same creature I saw from the hammock. "It is the man wolf," moaned a score of natives in chorus, and at least a dozen of them dunk away into their huts. But the beast had not come to disturb us. He had evidently been tracking the hyena, and he Was there for revenge. He bounded over the ground With great leaps, and the hyena did not suspect his approach. The last bound was a trernend- one curve in the air, and as the man wolf came down it was full upon the hyena's back". He uttered a terrible serearn as he struck, and the hyena gave vent to something like a 'shriek. They rolled over and over on the ground, biting, CLAWING, GROWLING AND GURGLING, but the fight did net last Over sixty nomads. Then the man Wolf sprang up, shook him- self and tittered a yell of triumph, and after threatening am for 4 ample of nibiliterl re-entered the jungle. We went out to the body of the hyena, and its condition have us a strong idea of the man wolf's fighting powers. One ear Was tOID Off, both eyes plucked out, two legs broken, its tongue nearly bitten ,off, and it had several horrible gashes in the belly, It was plain that the creature Was a match for lion or tiger, and we began to feel very uneasy. By the advice of the head man we built several extra fires and kept a sharp lookout. "The fellow is evidently very angry," explained the old man. "You are white men, and he is not pleased at your coming,. 'Perhapshe•has been told you were, here to Capture him." "Bit!, who could have told him ?" He had a OQUSill who was tamed Alto a vulture for striking his father, aVd anther cousin who was turned into a serpent for cursing our faith.. Either one may have car- ried the man wolf the news." • We placed sentinels on the watch when ready to turn in, but everything passed off quietly until about midnight. Then a [suc- cession of shrieks and [creams and roars brought every man, woman and child out of 'sleep with a bound. I had no other thought than the man wolf had seized tine of the senti- nels, but as I leaped out of the hut one call- ed to me: "Sahib, you have caught the beast in your trap !" It was a mile, as I have told you, from the village to the spot where we had set the trap, and yet the screams seemed close at hand. When the news went round that there was DO danger the village soon quieted down, but there was no further Bleep for any one. Whether caught or not, the creature seemed fastened to one locality for the remainder of the night, and of all pro- ceedings I ever knew a wild beast to engage in his were the worst. He had A VOICE AS STRONG AS A LION'S, and he was not quiet for ten minutes at a time. He roared, screamed, shrieked, lam- ented and growled, and the wind brought us every sound. He still had a full head of steam on when daylight came, and after a hasty. breakfast a party ,of twenty of us moved in his direction. He probably heard us coming, for his anger was freshly around, and pretty soon we could hear him tearing at the bushes. I am free to say that the first sight of the man wolf, caught by the hind foot in the trap, and hanging head downward from the swaying sapling, took the courage out of me sooner than if I had met a tiger face on the path. He hung about three teat from the earth, and as far as ae could reach in every direction he had pulled up the bushes by the roots. He was supple as a monkey, and could double himself up and reach the trap, but strong as he was, he could not spring the jaws open and release his foot. There was a foot of chain before he could got to the rope, and the way he bit on that chain' made us hola our breaths. Had it been of soft iron I have no doubt heavould have out it in two. He had been caught where we first heard him scream out, and had been sus- pended for four hours. You would have thought he would be exhausted with pain and struggling, but he was nob. As soon as we came near he made suoh tremendous efforts to get away, or to get at us, that all the natives fled in terror. We quickly understood that we could do nothing With the beast until he had lost his atrength and temper, and we returned to the village and left him hanging. All that day he yelled every two or three minutes, and all that night we heard him at intervals. Op..the second morning he was still ugly., but late in the afternoon hunger and pain mastered him. We brought up a cage, got three or four ropes around him, and finally made him a prisoner. His foot and leg were terribly swollen, and he made but little re- sistance. We now had opportunity to look him over. He was certainly a man wolf—that is a native child had been carried off when young and brought up with wild beasts for twenty years or more. This creature had a human face and form, but the body was covered with coarse hair, the teeth were long, the hands out of shape, and he had learned to go .as a four -footed animal. He was indeed A HORRIBLE LOOEING SIGHT, but the worst features about him were his eyes. No true wild beast ever saw through a more ugly pair. There was a villainous squint to them and the balls seemed to be aflame. We were congratulating ourselves on his easy cepture when the head man re- plied: "Wait a bit. Wait until his strength returns. You will never get him away from here." We drew the cage to the village and gave the beast food and water. He readily ac- cepted both, and his conduct was as humble as we could desire. He was biding his time, however. On the the third day he minute- ly rxemined the construction of • the cage and tested every bar. He did this when he thought he was unobserved. On the fifth day he began to snarl and growl and show his temper, and on the sixth we started .off with him, the cage being dragged by twelve natives. Everything went well up to noon, when we stopped for a rest and a bite to eat. As all were sitting down she man wolf suddenly sprang out of a corner where he had been ;sulking, seized a bar in either hand, andwith &tremendous effort wrenched them out. One he retained for a weapon as he leaped to the earth. It was so sudden that no one was prepared. He did not seek escape, but revenge, and before we could pick up our guns and open fire he had killed three of the natives and severely wounded two others. He was still laying about him screaming with rage when one of the white men gave him a Charge of buckshot and ended his rsareer. He had struck only single blows and yet each one had been hard enough to cripple or kill. But for our guns he would have killed every man in the party. A...0111141111.--, lloW hues Proposed.
