Travelling With Children.
~. u: .,@, 1bsWSt ~.

rF~ Travelling, With Children.
It is not an easy matter to travel with
small children, and 1t takes considerable
planning and forethought to keep them
from getting restless on the journey,
and becoming nuisance to other pas
sengers. ...........
If they are old enough to play games.
pack new one into your bag and teach
them how to play 1t on the journey,
also explain to them the game known
as railroad euchre, In which one child
chooses the cows and another the horses
seen from the car window. A brown
cow counts two, white cow five and
black cow ten. And the same count is
used for a brown horse, a white horse
and black horse. These animals are
counted between two stations, then the
sides are changed and the one who had
the cows takes the horses and vice
versa
1t is very simple game, yet it is
surprising to find how interested child
rem will become in it. The game Is also
played in different ways, often from the
opposite sides of the car, with other ami
mails, cats, dogs or hens, and the same
animal Is chosen for both players.
Three or four children can play the
game.
II the journey Is long one it is rest
full to get out of the cars with the child
rem whenever a stop of five or more
minutes is made, and take turn with
them on the station platform.
Prepare lunch for them at home,
bearing in mind that cake and pie and
candy, with frequent draughts Of the
ice water carried through the cars, is
not the right kind of diet for the young
sters. Ripe cherries, or bananas. or
an orange is much more healthful, eaten
with good bread and butter. 1t Is we'll
to start with bottle of sterilized milk,
if the children are fond Of milk. 1t will
not keep very long without ice if the
day is hot, but it will serve to tide over
the first few hours, and if you are trav-
cling in "a drawing room car you can
give the bottle to the porter to be put on
the ice.
If you are travelling with young
child do not forget to strap a small pill
low and blanket to the travelling bag
Stretched at full length on the seat of
the car, nestled against his pillow with
his blanket folded under him, he will
peacefully sleep away many an hour,
for the motion of the car tends to drow-
siness.

revolving blackboard placed at one side
OF the room, and any guest who uses q
word Of more than one syllable has his
name written there, with the word he
used underneath s4ass4sa
The whole plan of the game is to
get rid of your colored papers as quickly
as possible, and also to avoid having a
heavy account against your name on
the blackboard. Prizes are given to the
/ gentleman and lady who first succeed in
dlsposing of all their Is strips of paper,
and a BOBBY prize Is given to the one
who has the longest list of words
against his name on the blackboard.
| The blackboard is then revolved to
show the other side, on which has been
drawn picture of cat, under which is
written the familiar legend, this Is a
cat" Each guest is then presented a
f, small-sized slate, with slate-pencil at
tached, and asked to write answers to
the following questions, which are writ
ten on the blackboard and beside the
picture. The questions may be formed
| something like this:
THE CAT.
l. What tree is shown in this pic
ture?
| 2. To what disease is this animal
subject?
g. What about her suggests that she
| studies grammar?
4. What suggests that she sometimes
| throws stones?
S. Why are the cats children always
perfect?
g. What makes her stop?
z. Why is her conversation interest
! ing?
8. Why does she sing?
8. What is her speed?
10. What does she do when she cries?
IL. What song is her favorite?
IL. Why is she busy teacher?
The following are the answers:
1. Fir. 2. Stroke. g. Clause. 4. Pelt.
5. Because she ticks them so much 6.
Pause. 7. Because she has always a
tale ready. 8. For purpose (purr-
puss) 8. 100 laps minute 10. In
vokes the muse (mews). H. loft in the
Silly Night" r. Because she has small
pupils during the day and large at
night.
The hostess-teacher then informs her
Industrious class that it is recess time,
and they may stop work to eat their
lunches. The lunches are brought in,
dainty packed in pretty lunch baskets,
which the guests are to keep as souve
Mrs, although, of course, such things
as coffee, chocolate, and ices, must be
served separately in the usual manner.
1t will add to the amusement If the con-
tents of the different lunch baskets are
somewhat varied so as to give All OPP
portunity for trades"
After the lunch is over the pupils are
told to draw lots for places for SPELL
ing match. The words given out should
be such as are adapted to the capacity of
primary pupils, but they are told that
the words are to be spelled backwards,
instead of in the usual manner. But
one trial is allowed each contestant in
spelling a word, and words of only four
or five letters will often prove pitfalls
for those unskilled in this kind of re-
versed spelling. Whenever a pupil fails
he drops out, and the pupil standing
longest is the winner.
By the time the spelling match is over
it will probably be time to close school;
but, if further diversion is desired, such
old-fashioned games as twenty ques-
tions." spin the platter" and hunt the
thimble" are appropriate.

HELD UP LIGHT BILL.
Too Many Arc lights Were Reported
Out During July.

The arc light service Of the Whining
ton City Electric Company is far from
satisfactory and at yesterdays meeting
of the Street ana Sewer Department
President William Simmons drew at
tention TO the fact that III July 141 lights
We're reported out and numerous lights
not reported.
He stated that their asking for better
service seemed to have not been ac-
compliShed. He said it had been fig
ured out that 1870 lights were out for
two hours each and unless the the com
pany could give good reason therefor,
he would favor Il reduction of the bill,
the contract providing for such re-
duction.
The company's bill for July amounting
to s9.766.7S was held up for the present.
Mr.. Carter had a motion passed that
the company be notified unless satis-
factory reasons are given the bill be

Charles Donohoe may not prove fatal
but he is maimed for life The grief
stricken father accompanied by Il third
son was called t. the side of the in
iured boy at the Pennsylvania Railroad
Emergency Hospital last night. AS .he
stood by his suffering child he placed his
arms around the remaining boy and
moanod. will Eddie meet this fate,
too?" The sorrowing father was the
subject of much sympathy.
The accident to Charles Donohoe who
is is years of age occurred while he was
trying to jump extra freight No. a at
Front and French streets about Ills
o'clock last night. 1t was the intention
Of Donohoe and Edward Pierce, who
was with him at the time of the accid-
ent. to board the freight and beat their
way to st. Louis. Mo. On their way to
the depot to catch Il freight they met
Wesley Moore and Charlie Chase both
colored, and told them where they in
tended 10 go. The colored boys said
that Donohoe was intoxicated at the
time and that they tried to persuade
him not to get on the train while he
was drunk. He replied that he could
get on better when he was drunk than
when he was sober. Seeing that they
could not persuade him from his pul.
pose they proposed to go to the railroad
with him and see him catch the train.
Pierce was the first to make iumI
for the freight and he got ON all right
Donohoe was standing between the Two
gates at the French street railroad
crossing when he made his jump and
on swinging out from the train he came
in contact with the gate on the south
side which knocked him down. He fell
under the train and had it not been for
the two colored boys he would probably
have been killed almost instantly. They
succeeded in pulling him out after one
of the cars had passed over him.
4 number OF railroad employees Were
notified and renewed Donohoe to thu
Emergency Hospital at once. Dr.
Henry Il. Spruance. Donohoes family
physician was first summoned and in II
short time DR.. James \. Draper and
DR.. James Draper. Jr. were notified.
Detective William r. Jones who also
assisted in relieving the injured boy
summoned Father Kelley and the boys
