Scmetblnsr that Will Interest the Ju venile Members of livery Uonaehold Quaint Actions and Bright Sayings f Many Cute and Cunning; Children. When the harvests nro gathered and the BcnHou's work Is finished the Bliitu esc become a wonderfully Jolly people They have fcstlvnls, where they ploy like an nrmy of big children let out for a romp, but they enjoy tho "sky wing" best of nil. This festival swing Is a gigantic structure over ninety feet high, and its scat Is nearly fifty feet ibove thb ground. When the crowd Is all ready for the sport, there Is a blare of trumpets, and two lightly dressed unlives climb up the Hide pillars to tho high cross-bar, walk nimbly out to tho twlng-ropes fastened nearly 100 feet above the ground, and then slide down to tho frail sent of tho swing. Then A HKV HWINO. the fun begins. I.llto n couple of boys In nn ordinary backyard xwlug tho Hlamcnu men begin to "teeter" the swing back and forth till It gets to fly ing at a speed of perhaps a mile n min ute. Tho hwIiikith work till the swing ropes stand out at right uiiglcti to tho frame; then they sit, one on tho other, nnd wait for the swing to end Its pundit lotions. Umiully there are very excit ing contests to see which team of wingers can make tho Hwlug lly tho highest, nnd It occasionally happens that a man will Iohq his grip nnd Hy through tho air to certalu nud almost Instant death. ., ,, An Kinperor's l'laythlngs. Bmperor Ktiung Hsu, of China, Is aid to huvo tho finest collection of toys of any monarch. While still a little boy ho became deeply Interested In all sorts of foreign Inventions, and, being an em peror, the small celestial had his taste gratified, nud toy models were scoured of whatever he took n fancy to. He was given a miniature railroad train perfect In design, uu electric car, watches, mimical toys, n phonograph and hosts of other things that ho fan cied. After having learned to rldu the bicycle the young monarch caught his Imperial cue In tho rear wheel while riding ouo tiny and wns picked oft the lunchliie with as little ceremony as It he hud been Just an ordinary China hoy. Hut the eunuch who hud bought the bicycle for the Kinperor was bail lulled In disgrace. From being Interest ed lu foreign Inventions Kuang Hsu be came foud of foreign books, Including the Hlble, nnd as soou as he became old enough to actually rule ho begun to In troduce foreign methods In Ills king dom. This new plan worked nil right until It resulted lu tho discharge of high olllelals nnd tho dismissal of vice rojs aud governors. These nppcnlcd to tho KtuprcK Dowager nud Kuaug Hsu wns locked up to keep him out of nils chief from nu Oriental standpoint.

Youth's Companion, Hallway Controlled by Children, What Is probably the smallest work ing electric railway lu the country Is now being built In Macon, Mo. It Is owned by the Dices Miniature Knpld Transit Company, mid wheu completed will bo u mile in length, running around the grounds of n prlvntu park. Tho gauge of tho road Is three feet two inches, and each car will carry eight people. The corporation which con trols this miniature railway Is also on ti small scale, for the otUccrs nro chil dren. Frederick Dices, 13 yean old, Is "ii Jfl6r President nnd tnotormnn; Alvln Dices, 10 years old, Is Vlco President; Hoy Denslow, IS years of nge, Is Secretary: tho Treasurer Is 8-year-old Willie Dices, and the Assistant Superintendent Is Raymond Klrsch, who Is 13 years old. The road operates In Mrs. Dice's park, nnd is capitalized for $10,000, Just ns a company of "grown-ups" would be. Making It Kaoter. Little Jean's dolly had met with nn accident, nud her mother had procured a new head for It. The removal of tho old head proved to bo a rather dltllcult task, which Jean watched with great Interest. ' . "I'm afraid, Jean, I can't get this old head off," said tho mother. Jean's face glowed with the light of an Inspiration, ns she said: "Never mind, mamma, Just take the body off." A Penny Apiece. The minister had been talking nboul tho necessity of a new heart, aud little Desslo's father, taking her on his knees, asked her if eho knew what a now heart was. "Oh, yes," replied the little miss, "you can buy ouo at tho candy store for a penny." Johnny' Heroism. "This won't do," exclnlmed Mrs. Box excitedly, "there's thirteen at tabic." "Never mind, ma," shouted llttlo Johnny, "I kin eat for two." Maybe He Needed It. "Why, Willie," said tho lady caller, "how tanned you nre." "Yes'm," replied tho boy, "pa dono It." Chopin's Appreciative Audience. When Chopin, tho great composer uud pianist, wus u young man, ho traveled through Poland with a friend and was one day snowbound. Some peasants succeeded lu getting tho slclgli out of tho drift, and escorted the strangers to a post-houso to exchaugo horses. As tho travelers entered the llttlo house, Chopin went to tho piano, and, striking a few chords, exclaimed Joy fully, "Santa Cecilia, tho piano in In tiinul" nnd seated himself nt the Instru ment. As ho silt there improvising, the peasants stole lu and stood wntchlug him with mingled nmnzement and de light. "We shall sco whether they nro lovers of music," said Chopin softly to his friend, and thereupon ho begun to play his fantasia on Polish nlrs. Tho pens nuts stood In silence, their eyesllxed on tho pianist's flying lingers nud their faces Irradiated with pleasure. Suddenly the postmaster announced, "Tho horseH nro reudy." Chopin start ed up, but a dozen voices cried, "Klnlsh that wonderful piece finish It!" And tho postmaster, who had heard only n few bars, snld pleadingly; "I'll glvo you a courier, horses, every thing you wnnt, If you will remulu Just a llttlo while." Tho fnntasln wns finished, nnd at last tho pianist wus allowed to depart, though with many expressions of sor row from tho enraptured group. Yenrs nftorwnrd, when nil Paris fell under tho charm of his skill, Chopin often recalled tho trlbuto paid him by those Polish peasants. Ttio Beoret of This Opal. A Now Orleans Jeweler tells a rather whimsical llttlo story at tho expeuso of a gentleman of this city who plumes himself ou his freedom from supersti tion. "Hack In the '80s somo time," said the Jeweler, "ho bought an opal ring whllo ou n visit to til Paso, Tex. Tho setting was supposed to como from ti.o Mexican mines and wns remarkably hiitidsomo nud full of tire. It was mounted with ten small brilliants nnd mitdu really a very striking ornament; but, ns usual, tho friends of Its owner were contlnunlly predicting Hint It would bring him bnd luck. He laughed nt their alarm and llually took n good dent of pride In vaunting his superiority to populnr superstition. About n month ngo lie lost ouo of tho brllllnnts nnd brought tho ring hero for repnlrs. Tvo worn this opal for over ten years,' lio said, 'nnd I'vo yet to discover Hint It wns responsible for any misfortune. Plague take such silly notions, any how.' When I repnlred tho mount I examined thu setting carefully nud wns greatly amused to discover that It wasn't nn opal nt all, but merely n piece of colored glass. Opnls, by the wny, nro enslly Imitated, tho current belief to the contrary notwithstanding, When I told tho gentleman about It It iiuido him so mad that he gave the ring to his negro porter." New Orlcaui TlmeB-Democrnt, Contraband, III English country places the lilac la considered an unlucky flower. A sin gle boutonnlero of lilac hns been held responsible for solitary splnsterhood. Kor tho biimo reason mothers with mar riageable daughters never allow a Jug of sweet smelling blossoms Inside tho house. It may stand on the outside of tho window sill, but "there's no love luck about tho houso" when there nro lilacs in It. To glvo one's sweethenrt a sprig of tho flower Is tho death blow to tho most secure of engagements. White lilacs nro even more futiil to lavo affairs than tho colored ones; they are, lu fact, as ominous us nu opnl ring. Love, however, laughs at artificial flowers, and only the real treo grown ones can como between the lover aud his lass.
