Hoop and Ball. Will Greatly
RIeaSa ChiIlren

Hoop and ball' is very pretty little
game ill which both hoops and balls are
used, but the balls are not thrown to be
caught, and the hoops are not rolled.
You get six wooden hoops, all of diff
ferent sizes. such as VIII measure from
twelve to thirty inches across. Fasten
on each a little screw hook to hang it
up by.
Next prepare place to suspend the
hoops. That may be stout wire fixed
across the playroOm about seven feet
from the floor, or you can put up your
wire across the attic between rafterS, at
the same height, or in the barn. Or if
you wish to play out of doors you can
have the wire stretched between trees.
Now, just where the hook is, fasten to
each hoop cord reaching to the center
of the hoop, with bell attached to the
end.

These came on appeal from the judg-

lin each case being between the col
lector of the port and the importers as
to the rating to be made upon material

1t is estimated at the treasury depart
ment that by the loss of the that trim
ming cases. the United States will be
called upon to refund from IS, 600. 900 to
