OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
A SPELLING TEST.
Something a Little Harder than "Eh
Kurne1's Sum-"

If you can spell every word cor
rectly in the following rhymes-all
legitimate expressions-you may con-
slider yourself qualified to enter any
spelling bee:
Stand up, ye spoilers, To- and spell
Spell phenakistoscope and knell;
Or take some simple work as chilly
Or gauger or the garden lily.
To spell such words as syllogism,
And ~lachrymose and synchronism,
And Pentateuch and s~accharine,
Apocrypha and celadine,
Jepnine and homeopathy,
Paralysis and chloroform,
Rhinoceros and pachyderm,
Metempsychosis, gherkins, basque,
Is certainly no easy task.
Kaleidoscope and Tennessee,
Kamchatka and erysipelas,
And etiquette and ~sassafras,
Infallible and ptyalism,
Allopathy and rheumatism,
And cataclysm and beleaguer,
Twelfth, eighteenth, rendezvous, in
triguer,
And hosts of other words all found
On English and on classic ground;
Thus, Behring Straits and Michael
mas,
Thermopylae, ialap, Havana,
Oinquefoil and i~pecacuanha
And Rappahannock, Shenandoah,
And Schuylkill and a thousand more,
Are words some prime good spoilers
miss
In dictionary land like this.
Nor need n think himself a scroyle,
If some of these his efforts foil,
Nor deem himself undone forever,
To miss the name of either river,
The Dneiper, Seine or Guadalquivir.

Ball Games.

From the American Boy we take
the following instructions for some
good ball games:
Center Base.-The players form a
ring; one player stands in the center
holding the ball. He losses it to
some player, who must catch it, place
it in the center of the circle, and at
once chase the n who threw it. The
One who threw it runs out of the cir
Gle and tries to return and touch the
ball before being tagged. If he is
tagged he rejoins the circle, and the
other player throws the ball. If he
is not tagged before returning to the
ball, he throws again.
Catch Ball.-The players form a
circle with one in the center, who
throws the ball in the air, and calls
the name of some n in the circle as
he does so. The one called tries to
catch the ball before it reaches the
ground. If he catches it he returns
to the circle; if he does not catch it,
he exchanges places with the n in
the center and throws the ball.
Circle Catch Ball.-Form a circle
with, six to eight feet between the
players. Toss the ball in one direc-
ton from one player to the next.
The first player who fails to catch
the ball steps into the center and
throws it to someone in the circle. It
is then tossed promiscuously from
one to another, so as to elude the
one in the center, who tries to catch
it. IF he is successful, the n to-
ward whom it was aimed takes his
place in the center.
Pass Ball.-Form a circle with the
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-10-07

feet in straddle position, touching
the feet of the adjacent players, so
as to form a barricade for the ball.
One player stands in the center and
tries to roll the ball out of the cir
Gle, between the feet of the players;
the latter roll it back with their
hands. If it passes between a play
er's feet, or he moves his feet to stop
it, he exchanges places with the one
in the center.
Hand Ball.-The players are divid-
ed into two teams of from one to
five each. On a wall free from obsta-
cles, draw a line three feet and a half
above the ground. On the ground
or floor, draw a line parallel to the
wall, and ten feet distant. Draw
lines at the sides to mark the outer
edge of the court on the side of the
wall and on the floor. One player
bounces the ball on the ground, and
strikes it on the bound with the open
palm of the hand, so as to bound it
against the wall. When it has
bounced back from the wall, or re-
bounded from the ground after
touching the wall, or before it touch
es the ground, a player of the oppo-
site side strikes it against the wall.
One of his opponents must strike it
next. The ball is thus struck alter
nately by one of each side until a
failure is made. A failure consists
in missing the ball, striking it
against the wall below the chalk line,
letting the ball touch the ground out
side the court, or not striking it I'M
til after the second bounce. When
any such failure is made it scores
one for the opposite side. The game
consists of eleven or twenty-one
points.

A Queer Animal Used in Philippine
Farm Work.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The water buffalo of the Philip
pines is said to be the slowest NOV
ing animal which man has ever tried
to put to domestic use, only except
ing the time when the poor brute
goes mad from want of water. The
water buffalo drinks through the
pores of it's skin, and it must at in
tervals stand in water or have water
drenched over it by the bucketful.
Otherwise it "runs amuck" and then
in a few short minutes it is apt to
make up for previous weeks of appa-
rent laziness. When a water buffalo
runs amuck death is the only thing
which stops its wild and dangerous
career. Left to its W devices the
animal spends most of the day stand
ing in the water with only its nose
protruding above the surface.

SIGNIFICANT
Michigan Democrats Studiously Ig-
nore National Issues.

Detroit, July 31.-Judge George
H. Durand, of Flint was chosen as
the head Of the ticket on the fourth
ballot taken at the Democratic State
Convention here today. This nom
ination was made in spite of opposi-
ton by associates Of National Com
mitteeman Daniel G.. Campau and
by Justin r. Whiting, chairman OF
the state central committee.
While advocates of free silver pro
fess to be satisfied with the choice OF
the convention the nomination is
especially pleasing to gold men, who
feel that they have inaugurated q
new era for the Democratic party in
Michigan by having wrested the con.
troll of the party from the Bryan
supporters. All reference to the ma
tional issues is studiously avoided in
the platform as unanimously adop-
ted by the convention.

Joe Persons Remedy.
H~untersv4lle, N. O., May 15, 1902
Two years ago I was completely
run down. I suffered from indiges-
ton all the time, with gas on the
stomach, and the trouble was pro-
nouced gastritis. I had no appetite
for anything, and felt no inclination
to eat. This broug. t on
prostration, and the least excitement
brought on a spell and T
could hardly control myself I
could not get any natural sleep as a
result of this nervousness. I vas
under medical treatment for four
years. and was not even benefited,
I then determined to try Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy. ] bought one
half dozen bottles, and I commenced
10 lmp-o g when on the fourth bot
tie. / was much stronger, slept
much better aid rot have those ner
vous spells near SO often, and knew
that my general health was building
up. My appetite was improved, and
L began to enjoy Gazing, and what [
ate agreed with me. With all my
ailments / had neuralgia of the
bowels, which caused me intense
suffering After I took six bottles
of the remedy, l found I was Ger
tainly msnding, and bought six
more. Before / had finished the
dozen bottles the neuralgia of the
bowels was completely cured I
took In all a dozen and q half bot

hold duties, and feel that I am some
good, once more, to my family.
IF any n has indigestion or ner-
vous prostration, my advice is, take
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. and if
one will only take enough to built
up the system, it will surely cure.
