When to the floor my precious slate he pur-
posely let fall:
we did not speak for near a week, his mis-
chief caused me pain,
Rut when he drew me from the creek we
friends became again.
How often DER this ancient slate with many
a scar and nick,
yrestled with the myst'ries of the old
arithmetic;
How proud used to hold it up whenever
was right,
But when l failed how glad was I to keep
it out of sight!
What victories from my webster" on this
old, old slate / won:
What little rhymes l used to write when
other tolls were done;
How in my seat behind the stove the muse

And glibly wrote of roses red'' and violets

I seem to see those little rhymes upon its

And round me from the misty past where
recollections meet.

And. grateful would weave a wreath and

used to swing
Beneath the hoary beach that cast its shad-

But from among them all there comes from
out the far away
A sweet and loving face upon the olden slate

The pencil of my memory brings out every
graceful line,
Until there stands before my gaze a figure
half divine:
And neither sponge nor moistened hand.
with mischief all elate,
Can rub a single lineament from off my
treasured slate.
The spiders shall not spin again their filmy
silver thrall
Across the old slate resting long against the
garret's WALL
I'll set it in the sunshine like queen in
vestments fine,
For it whispers of boyhood which to-day
seems half divine.

Making Railroads Smoother.

The fact that within the past Is years
two-thirds of the unevenness in rail
road tracks has been done away with
on certain lines was discussed at a re-
cent meeting of the New York Academy
of Sciences. The improvement has been
brought about principally through new
designs and methods of manufacture OF

inequalities, the ups and downs, in
the rails for each mile traversed For
merly the total inequality" per mile
amounted TO SIX or seven feet. even
for the best roads; now it has been re-
duced to only is or 20 inches. and this
remnant is said to be due to dents in
the rails. 1t was pointed out that the
improvement, which may be carried
farther. brings with it heavier locomo-

SOME NEW GAMES.
They Are Not Less Amusing Becnus,
They Are Instructive.

Only bright youngsters can success.
fully play games like the two which
are described below, but when such
children take part in them, they are
not only interesting but also exceed.
ingly instructive and stimulating.
The leader of the game prepares as
many paper caps as there are children
to join in the game. Across the front
of each cap the name of an author OIL
. book is written in large print letters
The caps are then placed on the heads
of the children-not by themselves. but
by the leader-in such way that no
one sees the name on his own cap. The
game is then a game of guess-that is,
each player is kept busy trying to
guess the name on his own cap, the
only clew being afforded by the ques-
tions asked of him by the other play
ers.
One bright lad was much puzzled a
few moments by such questions a.
these:
How is the word 'jugular' spelled?"
How would you divide the word
singer please?"
Has real one or two syllables?"
None OF these questions gave the lad
any light, but the next revealed the
name on his cap:
please give me the definition OF
'pachydermatous,' and tell me whether
pronounce it correctly"
''Pshaw," declared the boy. 81 must
be the dictionary"
And so he was. Books" is the best
name for the form of the game just in
Dictated, but if the queries were like
those which follow, Author Questions
would be better title:
"What was it Bill Sykes kept seeing
after 'Nancy's' murder?"
Can you tell me why Nicholas Me
kleby' whipped old Squeers?'"
"Why was Mr.. Dorrit' thrown into
PRISON."

this fashion.
The game of initials" requires n
nimbler wit. 1t also requires pretty ac-
curate general knowledge of persons
who are uppermost. The point is, when
the name of some living celebrity is
mentioned, TO characterize the celebrity
in two or three words beginning with
the letters which make the celebrity's
initials, as, for instance:
Chauncey NJ. Depew-Celebrated Mer-
ry Diner.
Ulysses S. Grant-Uncle Sans Gen
cral.
Harriet Beecher Stowe-Helped Black
Slaves.
Fridjof Nansen-Fleeting Northward.
Louise NJ. Alcott-Lovely, Motherly
Authoress.
r. E. Peary-Racing Ever Poleward.
Thomas w. Carlyle-Terrifying, Wit
ty, Critical.
Not all these examples are beyond
criticism, but as they are reported d.
rectly from gathering of young folks,
held not long ago, they show pretty
conclusively that the game has an edu-
cational value.
Played the reverse way, it would re-
quire even better knowledge of promi
nent personages and their traits-thus;
