LIVELY RUSSIAN GAME.
1t Has nm UnprOnOunceabIe Name, But
Ii InnIn IiIra Our lITin llnfO


1t Looks Like Our "Tip Cat"
P. Kitty Kondacheff writes of "Some
Russian Games" in st. Nicholas. One
of them, bearing the name "Tchijick,"
is thus described:
The game is like your game "tip
cat" The word Tchijick, properly
translated, means "finch;" and whether
the game is so called on account of the
constant hopping Of one of the players,
or from the way in which the wooden
"cone" is made to jump up and fly, is
not known. The players may amount
to any number, but five or six is the best
combination, SO as not to keep the
others waiting too long while the
STRIKER" and chopper" as will call
them, are at work. A circle of about six
feet in diameter is traced on the ground,
in the center of which is deposited the
so-called tchijick, or finch, a round stick
of wood, six inches long, having each
end shaped something like a cone. 1t
lis either placed across small hollow
in the ground, or with one end resting
on a bit of stick or stone an inch or two
high.
The players, armed with short, stout
sticks, then draw lots SO as to determine
by chance who is to begin the first serv-
ice, and who is TO do the hopping; the
Others range themselves in orAr
around the circle, the striker taking his
place near the finch. The signal given,
the striker serves the finch-that is, he
gives it smart rap with his stick over
one end, so as to make it jump high up
and while in midair follows this with
one or more sharp raps, sending it as
far out Of the circle as possible-the
farther the better. The hopper then
sets off, and must arrive at the exact
place where the finch falls, hopping
along on one foot. Lifting it up from
the ground, he must send it back, with
the aid of his stick, into the circle again
If it fall on the line, it is reckoned in
Should he fail in doing this, or in arriv-
ing safely on one foot to where the
finch lies and back to his place again
he remains hopper to the next service
If, however. he passes both ordeals
safely, he takes his place among the
players again, while the striker turns
hopper, the boy next in order taking hi.
place.
The score is reckoned in the follow
ing way: A certain number is fixed
upon previous to beginning the game
say, 25. Each time the striker hits the
finch he scores one. Now, good players
manage to touch it several times while
in midair, short, jerky cuts from the
wrist following swiftly on each other;
sometimes as many as five raps are
given in quick succession, the striker
always remaining within the limits o.
the circle. He scores the number Of
raps given, and the player who first
reaches the number previously agreed
upon wins. The striker is thus changed
after each service, while the hopper, un
less he has good muscles and a sure aim
often has to go through the hopping
process during many turns, thereby
sometimes missing his own turn o:
serving. If the stakes are nuts, candy
or anything Of that sort, then each boy
loses to the winner as many as ar,
wanting in his score to make up the rs

There's a funny little fairy
On his rounds by night and day,
And he goes about his errand
In very funny way.
Such tiny wand, so starry,
Bears he In his tiny hand,
And he visits every mansion,
Every cottage in the land.
Then he looks up In our faces,
With quaint and quizzing eye,
When he finds them dark and frowning,
on he goes without good-by,
But II sunny smiles and dimples
Meet his glance, to work he goes,
And before body knows 1t,
Pop! he jumps astride our nose.
To our ears he creeps and whispers
Many sweet and lovely things.
In our eyes he scatters sunshine
From his pretty diamond wings.
Then he smooths away our wrinkles
With the dazzling wand he bears,
While he sings song, so CHEEKY,
That he lightens all our cares.
Oh, his task is never ended
Till the world In slumber lies!
Even then we dream so sweetly,

HELD AN ACCIDENT POLICY.
A Cyclists Disgust at Not Being Hurt
in a Collision.

This is the story of a somewhat unusual
accident. 1t happened on the Conduit road
one evening early in the fall, and the man
who told me about it was an eyewitness.
1t is singularly appropriate, by the way,
that he should be an eyewitness, for he is
an oculist by profession. A man on bi-
cycle was scorching cheerily along on the way
to town, when suddenly there loomed up
out of the darkness in front of him heavy
wagon and team headed straight for him:
There was no time to turn out. The wheel
crashed into the wagon pole, and the rider
was thrown completely over the horses, fall
ing between them and the wagon. The ocu-
list ran to the rescue, expecting to, see, a
limp mass of bleeding and unconscious hu,,
manity. Instead, he saw a kicking and
swearing person who was apparently unin..
jured. The bicycle was Chinese puzzle OF
twisted wire.
"Are you hurt" asked the oculist.
The swearing person picked himself up
and stopped swearing. He gazed at what
had once been fair young bicycle.
