herald ing the approach of storms Is vouched for or this Is the va ray to make it get a common glass pickle bottle and fill it with water to within about two inches ot of the top then place an empty salad oil flask mouth downward into the bottle nothing could be more simple the water in the neck of the flask will rise or fall accord lag ing to the state of the neather meather should the water rise in the flak it Is an indication of fine when the water Is entirely out of the flask one may well look tor for very wet er and when the water in the neck of the flask rises above the water in the bottle it indicates set fair A man who made some of these barolet ers for himself says during the last summer I 1 have had two of these water barometers beside a mercury barometer sucu such as Is known fa E w i r to science and have tare carefully fully corn com pared them I 1 noted that when the mercurial barometer was cutting lively capers my water bottles were tar far more sedate and on the whole more re liable when the subject of these water ba ro meters was brought to the atten tion of an eastern weather forecaster to he lie smiled and said the principle of the mercurial ba rometer and your water barometer Is the same during the passage of an area of high pressure press urb the water in the bottle will be pressed down by the weight of a column of atmosphere and of course the water will be forced up into the neck reek of 0 the flask con when hen your our homemade home made aarom eter Is in an area of low pressure the water in the bottle will rise and the water in the neck of the bottle will go flown down however it Is nonsense to say that the water barometer could be more accurate than the mercurial A mer curial barometer lh jh good condition never cats any capers moreover ns ris ng barometer does not always sn dacate fair weather nor a falling ba rometer a storm the best m we e can say Is that this will prove true in a it majority of cases I 1 would doubt thu thi accuracy of the readings of your water barometer but it might make a goo goob I 1 plaything to make paper chrysanthemums it Is 1 wonderful how close you can come to nature it if you try to copy a chrysanthemum in tissue paper the paper can be bought in many varied shades but the best colors to begin on are white and yellow for they really mal e the prettiest chrysant be mums suppose we tn a yellow one take tale three sheets of tissue paper fold so as to male dial e a ness of twelve sheets then cut out groups of circles as large in diameter as jou ou wish to make male them each group will contain twelve circles and six si groups will make youl flower cut small sea scallops hops around the edge of each group divid ing each into quarters for greater reg flarity as in illustration then bore tac holes close together through the center and fasten with a piece of wire now cut down the dotted lines to within a quarter of an inch of the cen ter thus and this will make your petals do the same to each of the six groups of circles then twist all the mire ire tightly together for the stem around which you must twine leaf green tissue paper then you have your sword ring have you played the new game that the college girls are just taking ul u the fascinating pastime of sword ring that has been imported from girls schools try it it promises promis ps to be as popular as ping pong at least five girls should take part to ma mal e a good game although two can play it Is an outdoor game and just the thing for brisk crisp weather when the air is cool for the game Is 1 very exciting and full of brisk movement although not as bard hard work as basket ball it Is one of the most graceful games in existence and was originally in vented as a physical culture exercise to lend grace and flexibility to the fig ures of the young ladles ladies in the european convents bin but it has grown beyond that now and although it does the players as mu h pha physical secal good as ever they go into il it for the fund they find and every one who has played it says it is full of tun fun the players stand in a circle each holding a tender ste si ider wand or sword about three feet long driven into the ground just tn in front of each g ri A is a slender peg about an inch thick ex tending four inches above the ground the diameter of the circle must be list the combined length of the wands held by all the placers players in the game so if five are placing playing the circle is 15 feet in diameter if six play li IS feet and so on there Is a light wooden ring about half an inch thice and five inches in diameter used in this pastime the object of each er is to ca the ring over the little post in front of some other placer the riba is put in play by one of the girls putting it on her stick and cast PAPER ROSE EASILY MADE 0 ahe I ohp petal fit I 1 the CA Vs fill T F M hed rose if all you N ant Is 1 some dark red fl carlet pink and green tissue paper A a little yellow wool some wire a reel of green cotton or silk a pair of sors a pencil and a piece of cardboard now to make the roses fig I 1 shows you the shape of the petals and aa as you will want a great many the easiest thing to do Is tor for the artist of 0 the family to draw on a piece of cardboard five shapes like fig rig 1 meas meds aring 8 7 6 5 and 4 inches across then cut the shapes out very care fully and all you have to do is to put them on the tissue paper draw round them and cut the petals out the v largest petal should be of the very pale shade and the small ones ores dark now thread IN e or aix a on a piece of wire about S 3 inches long make a knot at one end and some yellow wool round it for the center 0 the rose pinch the petals up vard towi rd the center then add the alyx fig 2 bind round underneath the calyx with green cotton or silk to secure it and the petals to the mire ire then cu out a long very narrow slip of green paper and wind it tightly round the wire to make the stalk and secure it at the end with cotton the bud is very easily made in the same wai way only using two or three petals and pinching the calyx up round them as in fig rig 3 these roses look pretty twined in and out of evergreens tor for christmas decorations and are very easy to make ing it at the post guarded by the girt girl directly opposite her that player tries to catch the ring on her wand or sword and by a dexterous aarow cast it over the post of some other player the ring may not be thrown by the hand but must be tossed from the end of a sword it if it be propped apoll the ground it must be picked up ana placed on a amord before it can be thrown again it if a giri girl succeeds tn ringing the post of another player she scores five points while the player whose post has been ringed has two points de ducted from her score whenever a player catel es the ring upon her sword she scores one point and whenever she misses it and it falls to the ground one point i deducted from her score the game Is 20 points the player tag bg that number first lit course win ning if there are more chati nine players they should divide in two or more coups g coups as a larger number makes the circle so large that it Is almost im fin possible to throw the ring with ac curacy an excellent feature of the sport Is tuat all the nece sary adjuncts can be home made try it with some of your friends and you will be maced
