ing the thread on which it hangs. How
can we find the exact spot to place
the knife on a chair or the floor SO

Games Of Ancient Savaces,

The little savages of years gone by
were much more fond of and devoted
to games and sports than we are now
adays. Perhaps that was because
they hadn't as much to do as the
people of modern times. The rough
er the game was the more they liked
it.
The ancient Australians most popu-
lar sport was wild game called "Marn
Crook" It was very much like foot
ball, only, if possible, rougher. They
had a. ball made Of skins; there were
no goals, and the object of the game
was for each side to keep the ball in
it's possession, and this often result
co in small battle, for as many as
liked could play, an even number be-
ing on each side. -. +
