are absolutely meaningless. Possibly
they were originally as full of rhyme

degenerated. There is one ditty, sung

That was exactly what they were
singing, too, as I found upon asking
some of the large children, and none of
them could give me any other version.
1t gave them an opportunity to use their
lungs and that seemed to be the main
object
Another and very pretty ring game
which 1 have seen played is one in
which the children join hands and hold
their arms up SO as to make a succession
OF arches. Through these arches the one
who is ''it'' winds in and out while all
sing:
Go in and out the window,
Go in and out the window
Go in and out the window,
AS we have done before.
Go stand and face year lover,
Go stand and face YFur lover,
Go stand and face your lover
As you have done before.
At the last words the wanderer stops
before one Of the boys in the ring. who
must then take her place as the game is
continued. 1t is not often that boys of
over or 10 years can be induced to
join in these singing games. When they
reach that age, they have profound
contempt for girls in general. They
have their own games, and these are not
always SO innocent.
The gambling spirit seems to be par
ticularly strong in the little chaps who
play about the city streets. They "shoot
craps" for pennies when they can get
the pennies, and when they can't they
put up as stakes any sort of boyish treas
ures- This is pastime. however, which
the law frowns upon, and there is dan
ger that a policeman may interfere. So
it is only the worst of the gamins who
indulge in the delights of 'craps."
Marbles is a game which the city boy
enjoys in common with his country
cousins. The American boy is a great
marble player, and he annually buys
tons of them. In no less than three Sax
ony towns the making of marbles is the
chief industry, and they are exported by
the shipload to the United States, India
and China The Saxony marbles are
made of peculiar quality of calcareous
stone, which is first broken into small
pieces with a hammer. These little
blocks are then thrown into mill con-
structed Of stationary fat slab of stone
with a number of circular burrows on
its surface. Pressing down upon this is
a block of thick oak which revolves
rapidly. Water is poured in on the
blocks, and in a short time they are
changed from irregular cubes to perfect
1y round balls.
Clay marbles are also made in Ger
many in vast quantities. They are baked
and then painted. China marbles and

Enforcing the Memory.

At one time East France is said to
have had a law that the children
should be taken to the limits Of the
district and there soundly whipped, In
order that they might forever remem-
ber the boundary line." So on Tues
day evening the members of our
church, together with quite a number
of the members and friends of the other
churches of the Town, concluded they
would cause US never to forget our
moving into The town by coming on US
unawares ana giving US sound
pounding"
We wish to say to you, friends, that
we heartily appreciate your kindness
to us, and we assure you we shall not
forget the time Of our coming into
your midst.
