Croquet Played With Darts.-In amusing
himself with small darts. a boy has orig
mated the idea of playing croquet with
them instead of with balls. which has
proved more amusing to boys The darts
are of the ordinary kind. made with
horseshoe nail cork and feathers; or fold
ed paper and round sticks. Beginning as
in the ordinary game, each takes his turn
in throwing through the frs. wicket, then
trying for the next wicket if successful
with the first. When one Is thrown be-
yond the mark the next throw will be in
order to get in position
So the game progresses to the end. when
there is a little difficulty in making the
dart strike in the stake. 1t is really
quicker and simpler than the original
game.
Composing Sentences.-An original game
for older players has the advantage of
making people think quickly and will
quickly snow which player has the most
active mind. The idea IS 10 deal out
dozen cards, each having some letter of
the alphabet on it. to the players-such
cards as are used in WORD games, or may
be made for the purpose.
All begin by turning over a letter at
the same time. AS soon as the letters
are seen a sentence has 70 be devised.

first tomake a eramma deal sentence Of
them is given a point ON the score card;
then new letters are turned up and SEN
fences are made until one of the plavers
has won ten points.
Of course IL is necessary to have a
large quantity of cards, so that when
dealt out there will he a variety of let
tiers. The game becomes lively as per
sonal sentences suggest themselves, and
it afford good practice, in the formation
OF grammatical sentences. If more than
five play, only sentence of bur five words
will be practical.
To Make a Simple Shuttle board.-The ia
bios for this game, which is now popular
abroad, are expensive, and as it is diff
cult for boys to get long boards smooth
enough for such a table, here is a sub
stitule which can easily be made.
The idea is to make frame nine feet
long and three feet wide, and over this
stretch very tightly and smoothly a strong
piece of sheeting or ticking, making it fast

legs or placed upon four heavy chairs.

game upon. You can buy a good sub
stitute for the four discs in the little toy
wooden wheels sold at toy stores, at I
cent each. Two of them should be made

sticks with crutched ends can be used as
a cue to play with. The SQUARES and num-

be made from the funny pictures and small
cartoons appearing in the newspapers and
weekies. cut out the funniest ones, the
titles TO which have double meaning, and
paste the titles cut from each picture up
on separate tags. When you have, say,
two dozen or more of such pictures, spread
them on a table before the players shuttle
the tags with the various titles 10 the pic
lures, and distribute an even number of
them TO all playing. The player who uses
up his tags first. giving the names to the
proper pictures, is the winner This may
seem an easy thing to do, but the queer
names are misleading and seem suitable TO
other pictures before the comic IDEAS of
the pictures are understood. Simpler pic
lures may be selected for younger players.
But the game is certain to be accompanied
by hard thinking and laughable mistakes,
besides developing skin in giving names to
pictures

Those who imagine that one must have
a considerable knowledge of machinery
before being able to go about in horseless
carriages would open their eyes in amaze
ment at seeing children of Paris as they
dash by in powerful carriages and motor
cycles controlling them as they do with
absolute confidence.
At the recent automobile exhibition at
the Tuilleries Gardens, the children play
ed a special part Seated in carriages gor-
geously decorated with flowers and rib
bons, boys and girls as young as or ~
years old Joined in parade, scattering roses
to one another, dashed along in races, and
turned around so quickly sometimes that
a rear wheel would be lifted from the
ground. Finally automobiles were running
wildly in all directions, and the children
showed remarkable dexterity as they steer
ed back and forth among people and Oh
stacles. b.
The Parisians have one great advantage
in the way their houses are built for the
convenient accommodation of horseles5

them to open courts in the rear, so tnat
the carriages run in to the doorstep ana
