ward, and the biggest, holding small
hearth broom, pointing its handle at the
next player, says rapidly and solemnly:
Buff says Buff to all his men,
And they say Buff to him again.
Buff neither laughs nor smiles,
But carries his face a-
With u very good grace
And passes his broom
To the very next place.
Hal Ho! Hal Ho r'-
To my very next neighbor.
Co. Broomie gol
If Buff makes any mistake, laughs, or
even smiles, during thus saying, he must
begin it all over again. If he keeps quite
solemn and serious he hands the broom
on to the ncighbor and retires from the
circle to receive back his forfeit, while the
next player, holding its handle toward
her ncighbor, repeats tho rhyme and SO
on till the broom is landed with the last
child, who hands it in in return for her
own forfeit, or if buff is being played at
merely as game the ring is reformed and
the next tallcst player begins it again
with
Buff SAYS Buff to all his men.

O woman with the sibilant voice
And swish of sillSeE robe.
Canst thou recall time like this,
Upon another globe,
when tbou and met face to face
A tawny lion !.
A python thou, with CLEANS Of gold,
And no live creature nigh2
Thou workest now the same; methinks
NV senses swoon again.
l feel the serpent's stealthy coils
That crushed and killed me then!
But once again the lions heart
Arises from the past,
And with it human power doth como
To conquer thee at last.

Origin of Widows, Cana

According to one authority, widows

Egyptians and Greeks shaved off their
boards and cut off their hair In times of
mourning The Romans did not cultivate
boards, but cutting of the hair az a sign
OF mourning was common to both sexes
To supply the want Of q natural head COW.
ering the men wore wigs and the women
caps. This practice fell into disuse after
the Romans abandoned Britain. Never
theiess widows studiously concealed their
hair during the whole period Of mourning.

CHINA AND LINEN CLOSET.

in the Philadelphia Farm Journal has
sketched one that could be put into many
old houses. 1t is china closet located be-
tween the kitchen and dining room, hav-
ing door on each side, so that the dishes
can be put in on the kitchen side after be-
ing washed and taken out on the dining
room side when setting the table. The
lower portion of the closet Is fitted with
drawers for table linen that pull out into
the kitchen and also into the dining room.
Such a closet has only to be used to have
its labor saving qualities thoroughly ap-
preciated.

SMALLEST WATCH IN AMERICA


very best quality, and small as the watch
is this material cost Mr.. Aune several
hundred dollars. He designed the watch
and figured out the measurements before
he put on 1t one stroke OF work He con-
structed the watch first on paper, which
was really tho easiest part OF the whole
work, but when it is stated that the lar
gest measurement does not exceed half an
inch and that the smallest is one ten thou
sandth part of an inch 1t will readily he
understood that the rule of absolute ac-
curacy had to be strictly adheredto.
The watch has u nickel damaskeened

raised gold settings stem winding and
pendant set fancy DIAL quick train and
lever escapement. The movement Is ex-
actly half an inch in diameter with about
$50 different pieces In it.

MERRY GAMES.
The Balloon Ball Game For GirIs-A Bur
Game For Everybody.

There are many ball games, but one
especially suited for girls Is the ''balloon
ball, I" played with bats and bouncing In
dia rubber balls within large circle
chalked on the ground. The moment the
bali bounds outside this line it may be
seized on by any onlooker, and the player
must instantly give up the bat and take
turn outside the ring, into which her
playmate steps, keeping sharp lookout
In case the ball should bound or roll her
way, which it may do at any moment.
Everybody knows about "blindman's
buff +" but there is another duff Of quite
n different kind. 1t can be played as q
game and 1t is also often used AS forfeit
buff. 1t is very useful when there are sew
eral children wanting to get back their
forfeited handkcrchicfs, ribbons, knives,
pencils, etc. These young folks stand up
In ring hand in hand, but facing out
