The Newspaper Game.

Making newspaper is excellent
practice for boys and girls who wish to
become good writer's of essays and
stories. Either the host who gives the
party or some one else, as it is given
in The Home Magazine. is appointed
editor in chief. To each of the players
is given a sheet of foolscap paper, at
the top of which is written the head
ing of a department or the title of an
article. and a lead pencil. II is then
explained that ii is the duty of each to
fill out his department after the man
ner of a daily newspaper. At the end of
half an hour all the papers are gather
ed together, and the results are read
by the editor in chief. As matter of
course the more absurd the writings
are made the greater the amusement,
and the paper provides an ample op-
portunity for cleverness. wit and hu-
NOR. This can be played by any mum
Der of boys and girls for an evening
party.

The Frat Ironclad.

In ammo Domini 1885. when the Dutch
fought for their independence from
Spain, the city of Antwerp was closely
invested by the Duke of Parma The
stout burghers built a very large ship.
nailed to its sides heavy iron plates
aud armed it with formidable ARA V
of guns. On the masts were roomy
platforms of sharpshE oters. and high
parapets protected the soldiery sta
toned on the raised deck
With this terrible vessel the burgh-
ers hoped TO break The blockade-hop-
ed it so confidently that they called the
ship FINS Bell t''the end of the war;.
But it proved unma ma geable and short
ly after being launched ran aground
on a sand bar and was then called Per
ditse Expense C'-thrown away money!
Soon after that the Spaniards won a
decisive victory. dra gged of the mari
time monster and renamed il FINS
Belli for the war was then indeed end
ed. but. unfortunately. not with the
result the men OF Amsterdam had SO
confidently expected.
1t is interesting that in this first iron
clad not only We're the sides protected
but lighting tops" were employed just
as in our navy today.

There's curious little creature liv-
ing On the rocks in the sea who. not
being able TO shut his house and lock
the door. is obliged TO use other means
to keep out inrruders and to stay where
he chooses. His way is simply to glue
himself by the foot on TO a rock. He
makes for himself in the softer rocks
home which is merely hollow per
haps an eighth of an inch deep, but 1t
is all he needs. for he carries his roof
on his back. His shell is round and
sloping on every side like a roof, so
that when he is glued into that little
pit ii is almost impossible TO get him
out. The glue he make himself. and il
is always ready in his foot. When he
wants to let go his hold. he pours out
of another reservoir in the useful foot
q few drops of water. which dissolves
the glue and lets him go. All day he
stays at home and rests. and at night
he unglues himself and walks out to
get something to eat. He's a impet,
and he has only one foot. That's no
matter, though. He wouldn't know
what to do with two.

FOR THE CHILDREN

old lie already has a Larger bank az

best IF il i th@t he his earned ever
cent of it himself. Last spring JoAuaS
owned Il goat. and while he got son
fun with him the goat had Il way o.
eating = 20 d deal and giving little "a
return. Johnny. who had an eye foI
business. saw that the money invested
in the goat was not earning anything.
so he IL the goat for 81 and put thu
money in an old stocking for future
use
Johnny decided that onion raising II
tered more profitable inducements
than driving Il goat, 80 he got the III,
of a vacant lot 6O by 125 from his
father. who fortified. plowed and
planted the ground with something
less than ii pound of onion seed and
then turned il over TO the young lad.
Nights and mornings, Saturdays and
holidays. Johnny worked ut this. weed
ing and cultivating the onions. There
came = time when he could not do all
the worn. So he hunted mp the old
stocking and from ii paid other boys TO
pull weeds and hired man TO run a
cultivator between the rows. At the
end of the season when the crop was
harvested the account stood something
like this:
Expenditure for labor. $3.50; re
eeiptS. one goat. So; 10 bushels onions
at ~ cents $500: total. SS6-3o; net
profit. $50 Next year Johnny in
tends TO buy his own seed and fertili-
ger. He placed $50 in the savings bank
and saved the rest for buying Christ
mas presents. for the next crop and in
building hence p where he keeps fif-
teen hens. which take up part OF his
idle time in the winter. When only
five years old. Johnny made a little
venture in celery culture and cleared

not once stay from school to attend
his crop. He is in the fourth grade and
has good school record.

The dogs of war" have been more
than figure of speech for thousands
of years. They We're used in Egypt in
the year 400 Il. G. The Romans, the
Teutons and other fighting nations of
antiquity depende Il much on them for
sentinel and defCnse purposes. In the
middle ages they are said to have even
worn armor. Like the foxes with the
burning brands in the fields of the
Philistines, sometimes packs of them
with portfires on their backs carried
flames and destruction into the eaguer-
ed town or camp. The Spanish discov-
erers used bloodhounds in tracking the
Indians in this country, and dogs were
likewise. il is stated, made of service
by our armies in the Philippines.
