Childish Games.

A learned professor has recently been
telling how children used to play in old
Athens.
The ball was a universal plaything.
AS the children grew older there came
the hobby-horse.
Then the game of dice (made of the
knuckle-bones of animals cut into square
pieces and spinning tops, both in the
house and in the open air.
Toys and go-carts and mud pies" en-
gagged the interest of Athenian children,
as of the children of all European ma
tions.
Then followed, at a somewhat more
advanced age, a game which. consisted
in throwing slantingly into the water
small, smooth stones, and counting how
many leaps they made before sinking
(Which we call Swimming or duck and
drakes').
Blind mans buff was also popular, as
well as trundling hoops, and all kinds
of games with the ball, walking on
stills, leap-frog, kite flying, see-sawing
on logs, swinging, etc.
Blind mans buff was played thus:-The
boy with his eyes bandaged moved about
calling QUIT will catch the brazen
fly Others answered:-"You will hunt
it, but you won't catch it." all the while
striking him with whips until he man
aged to catch one of them.
Girls had dolls made of wax and clay
and painted.
In fact, it is a matter of surprise to
compare the playthings and the games of
these olden times, and in distant lands.
to discover how similar they are to the
toys and pastimes of the present in the
countries of the most advanced civilian

The New Jspan

New treaties were concluded, which
are to go into effect in 1898, and by the
terms of which Japan ecove all of the
prerogatives temporarily suspended by
the operation of the old treaties.
This change in Japan's conventional
status has a significance peculiarly its
own. For the first time in the history
of the international relations of Eastern
and Western countries, an Oriental nation
will be received upon a footing of perfect
equality by Christian powers. Natu-
rally, the Japanese people are gratified
with this result, but that does not imply
that those who inspire and direct national
thought and progress regard this great
change as a cause for self-congratulation
merely. On the contrary, they fully un-
derstand that it will bring fresh cares
and onerous responsibilities. They re-
aIize that Japan will be placed upon trial.
as 1t were, and that the judgment of
Christendom will depend upon the man

people acquit themselves of their new
obligations. Under these circumstances
it would be folly to speak over-confi-
dently, but I sincerely believe that my
countrymen will pass through the ordeal

New York, April 25.-An informal
conference of the representatives of the
National Democracy from several states,
including a number Of the Gold Demo

are being taken to preserve it intact.
No business was trar sacted and the
only thing that came out of the confer

respective states.
II. DE Forrest Baldwin, who acted as
secretary of the meeting, said that ]. g.

given an account of the action Of the
