When your little brother or sister has a birthday party and you want a novelty as a centerpiece for the tea table, try the Enchanted Pumpkin and see what fun it will make for the guests. It ought to be a prize pumpkin and a hig one. ' Scoop out all the inside; that will do well enough to make pies out oi fop grown-u- p people on days 'that are not birthdays. Then stuff it full oi tops tied up In mysterious-lookin- g 1 bundles. To each package tie a bright ribbon, letting the loose ends fall out over the sides of the pumpkin. Then carefully replace the cap, or stem part, which you cut off, so that it will look as if it were still whole, and place it on your tea table. Surrounded by ferns and colored autumn leaves, and decorated with the drooping ends of the ribbons, it will make a very pretty centerpiece, When the feast i over, set the children to guessing how many seeds are in the pumpkin. When all have guessed, tell each to take hold of one of the ribbons, and when you say Three! they must pull on the ribbon and in that way they will find out how many seeds are in the pumpkin. Of course, each little guest secures a pretty gift. A Hunj-r- y j Shark. The crew of the tug Pennwood, wbion arrived at Baltimore, reported that they g were pursued by a shark a few days ago twenty miles south of Cape Henry. The shark, which was about eight feet long, had followed the tug for some hours, when a hook baited with meat was thrown to it. No temptation could get it to take the hook. Then the man-eatbegan to grow bold and approached within a few feet of the side of the tug, until it finally grew auda-cfbu- s enough to slide along the steel si S of the vessel. Chief Engineer Goldsborough, who in the had seen some shark-fightin- g Chrribean sea, undertook to spear the fisbJ He used a sharp boathook, with which he pierced its head. Several times the shark caught the hook, but could not wrench it from Mr. grasp. After the shark had been considerably maimed it withdrew, leaving a trail of blood in the water.

As the debate charms for aristocratic titles and historical names. A few among them are progressed it became noticeable that Miss Ilix had her work wrell In hand.

The exodus of the great wealth of the east and west left the field free in a measure for less favored damsels, but the departure of these millions now makes men thoughtful. They find the compenation insufficient. The idea presented itself to the male mind to suggest a .tax on this export. The matter had many adherents. But the women would not listen to these considerations of an economical order, and their opposition soon brought their pretended defenders to reason. According to the statisticians the situation becomes more and more complicated. On every side fresh examples are quoted daily. The wealthiest girls head the movement, and the day is fast drawing near when the coronets of princes, dukes and counts will ornament the brunette and blond tresses of the daughters of the oldest democracy of the new world. The purest protection theories will then avail nothing. JOSEPHINE E. HIX.
