Game of Postman.

Any number of people can play post
man A blndfolded player is the
'postman," and a second player is the
POSTMASTER" The other players sit in
chairs at the sides Of the room. The
postmaster gives each person the name
of a city or town and leads the blind
postman within the circle of players.
Then he says, 81 am sending letter
from New York to Chicago Tor be-
tween any other two towns, and the
players having those names must jump
up and change places. If the postman
catches one of them while changing or
gets to the empty chair first that per-
son has to take the postmans place. A
player who does not get up when his
city is called also becomes his postman.

The Pleasures of old Acc.

No sane man would like to live his
life over again. 1t is astonishing how
the ordinary affairs of life seem to
adapt themselves to your added years.
Ones pleasures are quieter, but quite
as enjoyable To live in the lives of
your children, to watch their progress,
the development of their minds, is one
great source of pleasure. Then one has
music, reading, gardening, etc. May |
also add that | took the advice of an
old friend some years ago who said the
two things most likely to give pleasure
in declining life were to learn whist
and to play the violoncello?-A Man of
Sixty in Spectator.

Wheelwomen in Europe meet with
many difficulties. In Russia every
thing is managed "by order OF the
ear" and cycling is no exception to
the rule. Before a woman can possess
a wheel she must obtain royal consent
and rs this is granted quite sparingly
there are but few wheelwomen in Rus

The Bell of the Angels.

II is said, somewhere. at twilight
A great bon softly swings,
And man may listen and harkcn
To the wondrous music that rings.
If he put from his hearts inner chamber
All the passion, pain and strife,
Heartache and weary longing
That throb in the pulses Of life;
If be thrust from his soul all hatred,
All thoughts Of wicked things
He can hear in the holy twilight
How the bell of the angels rings.
Let US look in our hearts and question,
Can purer thoughts enter in
To toll If it be already
The dwelling Of thoughts Of sin9
So then let US ponder a little,
Let us look in our hearts and see
ii the twilight bell of the angels
Can ring for you and me.

AFTER RAIN,

The country road at lonely close Of day
Has rest awhile from the long stress Of rain;
Dripping and bowed the green walls Of the lane
Reflect no gistening light; no colors gay
Has dying summer left; the sky is gray,
As though the weeping had not eased the pain;
The autumn is not yet, and all IN vain
seems summers life-a blossom cast away!
The air is hushtd save in the emerald shade
The rain still drops and stlrs each tretting leaf
To soft iusistence q its little grief;
The hopeless calm al thong . Of life denies;
But, bark; and now through silence. unairaid,
A robin ripples to the chilly skies,

Fashionable Use For Photographs.

Now that every one in society pos
sesses one or two cameras, the latest
thing is to find new way of diSpoSing
of the photographs that have been tax
en-. Scrap albums are just little out
of date, and it is far smarter to have
your photographs mounted in a long
green frame that runs round your room
above the dado and so arranged that
from time to time the sets may be
changed Another fayorite way is to
arrange them as stereoscopic views and
family groups. Interiors and pastoral
scenery are quite charming when used
In this way.
