candle, pressing their heads against
the glass and holding them there,
with the points Of the pins pointing
straight out, until the candle wax
has cooled and hardened.
Put short piece of candle in the
tumbler and light it; very soon all
the pins on the black spaces will
drop OF. AS soon as they have done

Now, supposing that you have set
the candle exactly in the centre Of
the tumbler, all the pins were at the
same distance from the fame, and
they were exposed to its heat for the
same length Of time. Why did the
wax melt on half of them, and not on
the rest? Because the black paint alb
sorbed or took up the heat of the
candle more rapidly than the white
paint did. It also radiated or sent
out through the glass to the pins, the
heat which it had absorbed better than
the white paint did.

Some Outdoor Games.


GAP.-The players form circle,
holding hands. and one runs round
outside the ring, and touches one of
the other players, who must immedi-
ately leave his place in the ring and
run round outside the ring in the op-
posite direction to the player who
touched him, the object being. to see
which one can get into the gap" first,
the one who is unsuccessful remaining
outside, and touching another player
in the same way.
TERT1Us.-The players stand in
twos, one in front of the other. each
couple being few yards apart. One
player Is che" and another Tertius.
HE" chases Tertius until the latter
stands In front Of one of the other
couples. when the player at the back
has to run off and try to get in front
of another couple without being
touched by che" If the Tertius is
touched before he reaches the front Of
a couple he becomes "he," and chases
the other player. Three players must
never stand in one group, the hinder
most must always be Tertius.

MASCULINE CHARACTERISTICS,

Begin to Show Themselves at An Early
The masculine characteristics, as
we'll as the feminine, begin to show
themselves at an early age. There are
a small boy and girl in the city who,
in conversation the other day, showed
this very notably, says the New York
Times. They are particularly bright
children, little son and daughter of
clever parents, who talk to the child
rem very much as they would to older
people. So when in talking together
the other day something was men
toned which they did not understand,
the children Immediately began to
discuss the pros and cons. The little
girl is seven and the boy couple Of
years younger. The former has a
habit while she is dressing Of talking
to herself. "Arm, go in," she will say,
as she puts on one garment, and "Foot
go in,'' as she puts on another. The
small boy had noticed this, and spoke
to her about it. why do you say,
Foot, go in,' and Arm, go ing" he
inquired. Why don't you say, Me
go in'?" ''Why, it isn't me- that
goes in," replied the small girl, cit is
just my arm or my foot. What is
me- anyway" The small boy thought
earnestly for a moment. why, me-
is your head and stomach" he finally
answered. NO." said the small girl,
II think me- is your head and heart"
Which proves positively that even in
early years the ego of the man is his
stomach and that of the woman her
heart.

She spake these words In solemn
whlsperings, more tender than the COO
ing of doves, more murmurous than
the ripping of the brook.
No eye saw the parting, when at last
Adina wrenched his heart away from
hers. They two were alone in the ST.
lence with God. Even the dove came
not near them tonight, but remained
apart and alone, as il it had knowledge
of all and forbore to come between the
beating of their hearts and the COM
munion of their souls.
At the rising Of the sun next morn
ing, the altar was made ready in the
heart of a deep wood, and by 1t stood a
priest respondent in the robes of his
office. The wood was in readiness, and
the fire prepared, nor was the offering
for the sacrifice wanting. She stood, a
pure virgin, clad in stainless white, and
on her left, the young man Adina. And
the face of the maiden Namarah was
calm and peaceful, and her eyes trust
full and quiet as be the eyes of children
when they know their parents are close
by. And her face, for all its paleness,
ever it had been before, for the light
that shone upon it was not wholly
that cast by the rising sun, but, as it
were, light from within her soul.
And Adinas face was radiant, too, so
that it seemed as if one light illumined
them from within, even as the same
sun from without. And Namarah's
voice, as she spake, was tranquil and
assured.
make ready thy fire, o priest Of
Cod" Namarah said, "for all is ready"
And she turned and kissed her father
Jephthah full tenderly. Then, speak
ing once more unto the priest, she said:
II pray thee, while that the fire is
kindling, suffer us to kneel and say one
prayer-I and the young man Adina."
And they knelt together, both in vir
gin white, their hands clasped close
and their faces raised to heaven, and
the prayer of their hearts, even as the
fire blazed and cracked, and the knife
cleaned sharp and threatening near
by, was that the God in whom they
trusted would deliver them in His own
time and way.
And they knelt so long in silence
that the priest, who wished not to in
terrupt their prayers, was fain at last
to speak to them, lest the sacred fires
should burn too low. But there came
no answer to his words, and when he
turned, and looked into their faces, that

CHAPTER XII.

Even before the coming of the time
appointed, just as the moon was COM
ing up behind the distant horizon,
Adina made his silent way into the
garden of Jephthah's house, and stood
and waited. The hour of moonrise was
just what it had been two months be-
fore, on the night of their parting here,
and in his ears were the same sounds
OF the babbling brook and of the doves
in their house near by. Up and down
the young man paced, his thumbs
thrust into the belt wherewith his
white tunic was held in place, and his
whole body tense and strained with the
mightiness of his hardly mastered ex-
citement A light glimmered in the
room of Jephthah, and on this he kept
his gaze, until presently it became in a
moment softly shaded, as if to screen
the eyes of one who slept Namarah,
indeed, had soothed her father into a
gentle slumber, and when it was known
unto her that he slept she stepped forth
into the garden. - @
She had even refreshed her from her
Journey and clothed herself in snow
white garments, perfumed with myrrh
and frankincense, in which she moved
softly down the garden walks to meet
him whom her soul did love. The
grasses Of summer bent beneath the
soft pressure of her feet, and the vines
divided themselves at the light touches
of her hands. The trees above her were

CHAPTER XI.-(Continued.)
And when Namarah and her maid
'ens reached the house of Jephthah, be-
hold 1t was hung with mourning, and
though the doors were wide, there was
neither friend nor servant to be seen.
So Namarah entered silently, and took
her way toward the apartment of her
father Jephthah; and as she came unto
his door, she turned and spake unto
the maidens, bidding them stay with
out in the hall while she went in alone.
And as she thrust open the door and
came into the presence of her father
Jephthah. behold he to was dressed in
mourning garments, and he leaned
upon the breast Of the young man
Adina, who was also clad in sackcloth;
and the faces of both men were white
as be the faces of the dead; and Adina
had grown gaunt and hollow-cheeked
and lost his ruddy color, while
her father Jephthah was as one grown
old before his time.
And Namarah spake no word, but
shutting close the door behind her, she
went and put her arms about the neck
of her father, but her eyes she gave
unto her lover.
Her hood had fallen backward, and
her white face rose from out its SOL
senn mourning draperies as a fair
mower springing out of earth; and her
eyes, made large and luminous through
hastings and vigils, seemed as the very
windows of her spirit; and in their
depth Adina read love unspeakable,
unquenchable and not to be surpassed.
He understood her tender thought in
ciasping first her father before her
touch sought his, for it was by reason
of her father that this blow was come
upon them, and she felt he had great
need of comfort and the assurance of
her deep, unchanged affection; but in
that long, deep look into her lovers
eyes, she gave him her whole self. For
a moment they rested in that look,
quiet and calm as the deeps of ocean,
and then the maiden spake:
II pray thee leave me now, Adina,"
she saith, softly, as the voice of Jeph-
than her father brake into great sobs
while she smoothed his snow-white
hair, and stilled him as mother might
her babe. II would be with him alone,
that my courage fail not; for he hath
more need of comfort than either thou

And Adina bowed his head and went.
with never so much as a touch of her
hand to feed the mighty hunger of his
love, howbeit that look in her eyes
which rested on him still, even as he
left her presence was as a draught
divine wherewith the thirst of his soul
might be quenched.
