AN EVENING GAME-TREsPAss.-
As the long evenings and the "cold
snaps" come on, we open again our
corner for social games. This week
we offer one for the smaller boys and
girls, called Trespass:
The room being divided by a fixed
line, all but one take possession of
one part. The solitary person left
out is seated blindfolded in the mid
die of the vacant lot, and some twelve
or fourteen small articles are scatter
ed about before him on the floor.
The object of the game is to steal
these articles one by one, so softly as
not to be caught by the blind man,
who as soon as he hears sound APP
preaching is at liberty to pursue the
offender. If caught on the owners
lot, he is put into prison-that is be-
hind some table until the game is
ended. Here, also, are banished all
similarly taken but should the blind
owner not succeed in taking q single
prisoner before his game is all gone,
then he is bound by the rules Of the
game TO play the owner over again.
Of course, the trespassers are safe the
moment they cross the boundary line
and arrive in their own territory.
The one first caught becomes the
owner next time.

AS lives have been lost in connec-
ton with skating we make the fol-
lowing suggestions:
l. Avoid skates which are strap
ped on the feet, as they prevent the
circulation, and the foot becomes
frozen before the skater is aware of
1T, because the tight strapping be-
numbs the foot and deprives il of
feeling. A young lady in Boston
lost foot in this way another, in
New York, IN endevoring to thaw
her feet IN warm water after taking
of her skates. The safest kind are
those which receive the fore part of
the foot in kind of toe, and stout
leather around the heel, buckling in
front OF the ankle only, thus keeping
the heel in place with out spikes or
screws, and aiding greatly in support
ing the ankle.
z 1t is not the object so much to
skate fast as to skate gracefully and
TINS Is sooner and more esily learned
by skating with elaboration while
1t prevents overheating, and dimin-
lshes the chances Of taking cold by
cooling off to soon afterward.
). II tho wind is blowing, a veil
should be worn over the face, at least
OF ladies and children; otherwise, ia
tai Inflammation of the lungs, "pneu-
monia," may take place.
4. DO not sit down TO rest a single
half minute, nor stand still if there
is any wind or stop a moment after
the skates are taken off; but walk
about so as to restore the circula-
ton about the feet and toes, and to
prevent being chilled.
D. 1t is safer to walk home than
to ride; the latter is almost certain
to avoid a cold
6. Never carry any thing in the
mouth while skating, nor any hard
substance in the hand nor throw
any thing upon the ice none but
careless, reckless ignorance would
thus endanger fellow-skater.
Z. Always keep your eyes about
you, looking ahead and upward, not
on the ice, that you may not run
against some child. lady, or learner,
s. Arrange to have an extra gar
ment thick and heavy to throw over
your shoulders the moment you quit
skating, and then walk home, or at
least half a mile, with your mouth
closed so that your lungs may not
be quickly chilled, by the cold air
dashing upon them through the open
mouth but if it passes through the
nose and head it is warmed before it
gets TO the lungs.
1t would be a safe rule for no
child or lady to be on skates more
than an hour at time.
