A Little Princs-Soap Bubbles-ShadowB Buff
"A Tender-Hearted Hunter.
Prince Adalbert of Prussia, third son OF
the German emperor, is still in short
frocks; but he has already developed
quite strategist's instinct tor making the
most of an opportunity. The phonograIh
was exhibited the other day to the i'm
perial circle, and at the request of the en-
press each of the young princes recited
something into the receiver. The crown
prince sang verse of the martial Hell
Dir i'm Siegerkranz," and Prince Eitel
Fritz rendered a stanZa OF Uhland's we'll
known lied 'Ich HIATT Einen Kameraden.
When, however, it came to Prince Adal-
bert's turn he seized the opportunity to
say something that was evidently very
near his heart. "Will papa please give
me a pony ?" is what he shouted at the SEN
sitive machine, with an earnestness which
made papa and mamma and the whole
court circle roar with laughter.
To make soap bubbles that will last for
several hours is easy enough, says Golden
Days. if the following liquid be used: Dis
solve one part by weight of Marseilles
soap, cut into thin slices, in forty parts OF
distilled water and filter. Callthe filtered
liquor A and mix two parts of pure glycer-
inc with one part of the solution A in a
temperature of66 degrees Fahrenheit, and,
after shaking them together long and
violently, leave them to rest for some days.
A clear liquid will settle, with turbid
one above. The lower is to be sucked out
from beneath the upper with a siphOn,
taking the utmost care not to carry down
any of the latter to mix with the clear
fluid. A bubble blown with this will last
for several hours, even in the open air. Or
the mixed liquid, after standing twenty
four hours may be filtered.
The game of shadow buff differs very
materially from blindman's buff, but it is
equally as amusing. a large piece of
white linen should be fastened neatly up
at one end of room, so that it hangs
smoothly. Buff mot blinded) seat himself
on a low stool, with his face to the linen,
and table, on which is lighted candle,
should be placed about four or five feet
behind him and the rest of the lights in
the room extinguished. Buffy's playfel-
lows next pass in succession between the
candle and him, distOrting their features
in as grotesque manner as possible-hop-
ping limping, and performing various odd
antics, so as to make their shadows very
unlike their usual looks. Buffy must
then try to guess to whom the shadows
belong, and if he guesses correctly the
PLAYER whose shadow he recognizes takes
his place. Buff is allowed only one guess
for each person, and must not turn his
head either to the right or left to see who
passes.
Bears were so numerous in the early set
Element of Ohio, saws the Youths COBlpdn-
ion, that one man has been known to kill
sixty-fve in a single season; but the war
of determination greatly reduced their
numbers in few years. Mr.. Barker of
Athens relates the following hunting Incl
dent of pioneer times: "Chris Stevens and
a German named Heck were hunting one
day and freed bear in large poplar not
far from Stevens house. The bear climbed
nearly to the top of the tree, which was
very tail. The hunters had but one gun
between them, and Stevens was to shoot.
He levelled his piece, took aim, and then
waited as if taking a more careful sight.
Heck waited anxiously for his companion
to fire. Out of patience, he at length ex-
claimed: why don't you shoot?' Stew
ems, who was very kind-hearted man,
deliberately lowered his gun and said: 1
can't bear to see the poor thing fall so far
amt you a soft one exclaimed the Ger
man. elf me de gun den-I shoots him
if he falls NIT de groud till t'ousand feet
He seized the gun and Bruin soon came
tumbling down."
