Bean Porridge Hot.

The children's game of slapping
hands to the rhymes of Bean porridge
hot, bean porridge cold" as now adapt
ed for the use of adults, has fun in it in
large solid chunks 1t may be played
by a roomful of people, who are divided
into tours In each group the couples
are so seated that the hands of the Sec
ond couple meet across the hands of the
first couple. AS every body knows, the
first motion is to slap the hands palm
downward upon the knees; the second
is to slap the palms of the appraised
hands together and so on. In the re-
vised and enlarged form of the game
the second couple makes its first mo-
ton when the first couple makes its
second motion, and the second couple
continues thus always one motion be-
hind the first, to avoid collision. When
all the players are ready let some body
sit down at the piano and begin The
High School Cadets March, or Push
Dem Clouds Away" or any other tune
of suita bic measure, and with the whole
room in motion TO the music it won't
take more than a month to discover
that there is more fun in this version
of Bean porridge hot than you can
shake stick at--N. I. Sun

a Custom In Vogue Among SchoolmasterS
Many Years Ago.
The whipping boy-the unfortunate
youth appointed to endure the corporal
chastisement which royal dignity did
not permit to be inflicted upon the per-
son of young heir to the throne when
he deserved it's boy OF whom most
of us have heard and naturally suppose
belongs to remote past and mon
archial country; but at least one New
England schoolmaster has made use OF
the same idea in awarding punish

led him to adopt it, no doubt, mingled
perhaps with a shrewd calculation of
the effect it was likely to have upon
troublesome scholars of the gentle sex.

This master-who kept school in old
Newburyport many years ago-made 1t
rule that whenever girl committed
a misdemeanor for which fogging

So boy was summoned to the desk

jacket and submitted to the ordeal of
birch rod or leather tawse, as her case
might warrant, no regard being paid
to the fact that he was entirely inno-

proved highly satisfactory in its effect
upon the girls, but exactly what effect
it had upon the boys is not mentioned.
1t was certainly putting their chivalry
to pretty severe test.
We are left in the dark, too. as to the
plan by which the ingenious master Sc
lected the boy. Did he take her brother.

she was the belle of her class? Or did
he pick out handsome boy on the

The girl who IS earning her money

a box of sweets that she doesn't need:
well, l worked hard for this money;
I may spend it as please" That sounds
reasonable, but she ought TO want to
spend it in the right way. She ought
to think of the days when possibly sick
ness will come-then does she want TO
feel that she hasn't a dollar in the
world, and that she is being taken care
of by people on whom she has no claim?
Or there will come day when every
body else is going for an outing; viii
she have to decline because she hasn't
saved any money? l know she has
earned it; ! know the fine hat or the
fine gown may be very tempting, but
the mere fact that she has given her
life--so many hours OF it-her strength
and her nervous force to get this money
should make her cautious in taking
