Game OF Step.

In the game of step the ground
is marked off by two parallel lines,
wide distance apart. One player,
who is ct" stands on one of these
lines, with his back to the other
players, who start at the other line.
The one who is cit" counts ten rap
idly, during which time the other
players approach his line. As he
says '"Ten!" they stand still in
whatever attitude they may be at
the moment. He turns his head
quickly and calls the name of any
player or players whom he sees NOV
ing. Any thus caught moving have
to 90 back to the starting line and
begin over, while the counter re-
peats the count of ten and the play
ers again move forward. The OBJ
ject Of the game is to cross the
counters line without being seen in
motion by him. The last one over
changes places with the counter.

ANTISEPTICS.
- - -i.1-sss
They Do Not Destroy, Ii Is Said, but
Only Arrest Germ Life.


Only Arrest Germ Life.
The Edinburgh Scotsman begs leave
to correct the erroneous belief that i'm
plies that antiseptics can prevent de-
cay. Decay may be arrested without
killing the microbe which would pro-
duce it. A few drops of a solution of
carbolic acid added to -four paste will
keep it sweet for a certain time, not
because the germs in the paste are de-
stroyed, but because these germs are
hindered for the time being in their
growth and multiplication and because
the paste is rendered temporarily an
unsuitable soil for the growth of what
ever microbes may fall from the air in
to it.
When the effect of the acid has worn
off and disappeared, we see the paste
going to the bad as rapidly as if it had
not been treated antiseptically at all.
Molds will grow in it, and it will decay
in the fashion familiar to everybody.
1t is in this way cold may act as an
antiseptic when it is used to preserve
meat and fish. There is no destruction,
but only arrest of germ life. If we wish
to kill microbes, therefore, we not only
have to use a disinfectant, but we must
employ it in proper proportions and see
that it thoroughly attacks the germs
we wish to destroy. 1t is for this rea-
son that all attempts to kill germs
which the air may contain are worse
than useless. We cannot 'disinfect' the
air. If we could do so, we should re-
quire to saturate the air with our germ
icide to such an extent that to breathe
it would kill us.
we get an excellent example of this
fallacy of 'disinfecting air" when we
reflect that in using burning sulphur to
purify a room after a fever case we
have to use it in such a way and in
such proportion that it is impossible for
any person to remain in the room at
all.

Household Hints.

Persons whose hands easily be-
come chapped should thoroughly
rinse the hands with fresh water
after they have been washed with
soap, being careful to wipe them
perfectly dry.
Table salt applied with a wet
cloth will remove egg stains from
silver.
To save wear and to insure that
it dries in shape hang table and
bed linen across the line to dry with
the ends down. The warp threads,
which are the stronger, will thus
take the strain.

Test of the Age of EGGS.

There is a sure and simple test Of age
in an egg. Dissolve six ounces Of com.
mon kitchen salt in a large glassful of
water and drop in your eggs, one at
time. An egg one day old will sink to
the bottom, but if older it does not
reach the bottom. If three days old, 1t
sinks only just below the surface. If
five days and over, it floats; and the
older it is the more it protrudes from
the water.-New York Press.

The Last Of the Druids.

noaaGaa2s111g1ga0
The Last of the Druids.
tonal, last Of the Druids, stood by the
ruined shrine,
and bitter and gray as brine;
The sacred grove was deserted, and i'm.
pious hands had raised
The mystic sign of the stranger where
the holy fires had blazed.
He went to the home of his father, and
a stranger babe him in
Who knew not the face of Conal nor
came OIL his fathers kin.
eeFor the years were many and change
full since the Druid went afar
From the peaceful land OF Ierne to the
stormy fields Of war.
He had battled with Pict and Briton,
Norsemen and Hun and Gaul,
When Dathi's glorious banner waved
on the Alpine wall.
And now he was old, and weary Of
the splendid joy of strife,
And he longed for the Druid cloister
and the evening calm of life;
'aThe gods of the brave will bless ME
for the foes have slain,'' he said,
And he turned to the land of Ierne-
and they told HIM the gods were
u dead!
Then he cursed the gods of his fathers,
the many who fed from one,
And he cursed the priest of the stran-
ger for the thing that he had done.
II will find this priest. will STAY him
let him bide on land or sea,
Though a thousand swords defend him
and the gods shall be shamed by
y me!'
! He went to the Court of Tara where
the king had housed the priest;
He found him not at the palace, he
found him not at the feast;
But down in a lowly howell, where q
man with the Black Death lay,
They told him, "the good priest, Pat.
Y rick, watches by night and day;
For the man he serves was his foeman
in the days of his power and pride,
But the pride and the power have left
him, and the love Of his friends
has died;
Kith or kin has he none-only one
son, gone wild
And the Black Deaths hand, Christ
save us! would part the mother and
child,
The boldest soldier in Erin, warrant
We, would not dare
To watch with old Conn the Druid, in
the deadly pesthouse there"
Never word said Conal, but his face
was set and gray,
As he strobe to the lone cabin where
/ the dying Druid lay,
He knelt by the humble pallet, and the
air was thick with death,
But the lirs of the stricken father
smiled with his dying breath,
And his feeble hand was lifted to bless
with the Christians sign
The hayward son of his b0sOm-the
last Of the Druid line.
Then the sinful wrath of Conal passed
like mist away,
And he kissed the hem of the garments
of the man he had sworn to slay.
