How Do You Like II?

This is an excellent and amusing
game for evening parties. 1t may be
played by any number of persons. The
company being seated. one of the par
ty. called the Stock, is sent out OF the
room, and the company then agrees
upon some word which will bear more
than one meaning. When the Stock
comes back he or she asks each of the
company in succession, How do you
like it?" One answers, 81 like it hot; >"
another 81 like it cold;" another. Il
like it old" another, Il like it new"
He then asks the company in success

Ants and Spiders as Food.


In some countries the people eat
ants. In Sweden they mix them with
rye flavor the stew with brandy. They
make a dish of pressed ants and
soften it with milk until it looks like
our chocolate.
In Africa the children roast large
white ants and eat them by the hand
full like popcorn. Travellers who have
eaten them say they taste like almond
paste.
Many people cook and eat the To-
Gust. They boil them in salty water,
roast them in oil or fry them in but
ter. Sometimes they dry and grind
the locusts and make the powder into
bread by adding little water.
The Mexicans are fond of roasted
spiders. They also dry the eggs of a
certain water fly, grind them into flour
and sell it by the sack. This flour is
sweet and much used for cakes.
These are only few of the many
queer things eaten by the boys and
girls of other lands. The children of
our own country often eat roasted
grasshoppers and say that they tasted
like parched horse corn, or maize

Geography Game.

Here is a game that all the men,
bers of the family may take part IN.
1t is hardly fair that boys and girls
should contend with grown people in
games of an ordinary kind, but in thAs
one the chances are that the boys and
girls would have the advantage, for
the reason that they are studying
geography, while the grown people
stopped that long ago.
But however that may be, the
game is a capital one, and will give
amusement for an hour or so, and will
prove instructive at the same time.
One advantage about it is that it re-
quires no preparation of any kind.
Any number of persons may pay.
Having seated themselves around the
sitting room table, or with books in
the lap on which to write, and ap-
pointed timekeeper, who shall act
as leader and judge, they take the
letter A and write in five minutes
time as many geographical names be-
ginning with that letter as they can
think of-the names of cities, towns.
rivers, lakes, oceans, straits, conn
tries, mountains, etc.
The leader gives notlce When the
time is up, and the player having the
largest list of names has the number
five put to his credit. Every word
that player misspells takes one from
his score, but not from his list.
The letter B is taken next, and so
on. as far down the alphabet as may
be desired. At the end of the game
the nIayer having the highest score is
declared the winner of the prize, for
it is always better to offer a prize to
stimulate the players efforts.
