AcaIl on the weather.

On the second of the month the
Chicago Tribune printed an invocation
to the weather which opened with the
line: "April thou comest in superbly. !"
Five days later the city was visited by
a hail storm which frightened man
and beast, and made them imagine the
world was coming to an end. But the
managers of the Worlds Fair were not
discouraged, for the genial warmth of
the sun soon melted the hail stones as
large as hens eggs, and the work of
preparation was resumed before the
clouds had all cleared away. If the
Directors have any influence with the
Tribune, it would not be bad idea to
have them call down the poet of that
paper, for no well-regulated weather
dispenser would tamely submit to lines
such as these:
Look you, April,
This is no time for nonsense.
The Worlds Columbian Exposition,
Rain or shine, will open four weeks
hence.
Higinbotham hath said it, and it goes.
Don't try to stop it. You will only
make yourself
Ridiculuos. Look pleasant, April,
For eight and twenty days. So shalt
thou be

PATCHWORK.
AN AMUSING GAME WHICH REQUIRES
A KNOWLEDGE OF GRAMMAR.
[Harper's Young People.l

[Harper's Young People.]
Have ready before beginning to play
some slips of paper J inches long by
8 or inches wide. The number pre-
pared must depend, of course, on the
number of players.
When all is ready to begin, each one
of the company is provided with a
slip of paper. They are then to write
upon each slip a sentence describing
an action. The sentence, however,
must be without grammatical subjects.
To make this plain l will give few
specimen sentences

with ladder.
sat down in the middle of the
road and sang a song.
went to bed with shoes and
stockings on.
wore bright red dress and a
hat.
- could not eat because his teeth
were all gone.
When the players have written the
required sentences they are told to
fold each paper carefully, so that the
sentence will be on the inside. It is
better to fold it twice.
The slips are then collected in a
box, basket or hat and shaken up
thoroughly.
The recepticle is then passed around
and each player takes out a slip.
Without unfolding he writes on the
outside a noun, accompanying it with
" a, /" San" or "the," as he sees fit.
Proper names may not be used.
After this second writing the slips
are again collected, thoroughly mixed
as before and again passed around.
AS each player draws slip he looks
at the noun that has fallen his to share,
then unfolds the paper and connects the
two parts of the sentence either men,
tally or by writing with the noun and
its article in the proper place.
When all are ready each player in
his turn reads the complete sentence.
The result of this "patchwork" will
often be exceedingly funny.

THE CoNJURER.

Into the world from far away,
Where the year is always tuned to May,
And the wind sounds soft as lark aloft,
A conjurer came once on day.
Many mystic spell he knew
Wherewith to turn gray skies to blue
To make dull hours grow bright as flowers,
And tasks that are old turn light as new.
A touch ofhis wand, and 10 ]
From empty hands sweet favors flow.
And pleasures boom in lives of gloom
Where naught but sorrow seemed to grow.
Out of the stormy sky above
He brings white Peace, like a heavenly dove
His might is sure, and his art is pure,
And his name-the cOnjurers name-is
Love.
