GOOD GAMES AND TRICKS.
Japs and Russians.

Japs and Russians is a game played
by two persons with slate and pencil.
About quarter of the slate is marked
off by line at each end, and in each
of the compartments so marked off
are made a number of dots about the
size of a pinhead, those at one end
representing Japs and the others Rus
slams. The number of Japs and Rus
SLAMS may be large or small, as agreed
on, but must be equal. At one end of
each compartment is a small square
which serves as a battery. Each play
err in turn places the point of his pen
Gil in his own battery and then draws
line quickly in the direction of his
enemy's men. The line must have no
angles in it, but must be straight or
curved. Those dots through which
tho line passes are considered dead
men, and he who first kills all of the
enemy's men is the winner. Some
times the players are required to shut
their eyes or turn away their heads
when drawing their lines.
Literary Characters.
urnlSn edCn guest WIFI paper anu
pencil. Slowly read list of familiar
characters in literature, numbering
each. The players must write oppo-
site the number the name of the book
from which the character is taken. A
prize may be given to the owner Of
the list most nearly correct.
Dry Land Crab Race.
A dry land crab race is very anus
ing game for the little ones, and is
played in this manner: A starter and
an umpire are needed for the crab
race, which should be run on soft
green turf. Ten yards or thirty feet is
quite long enough for it. The racers
kneel down on all tours and form in
line at the starting point, with their
| backs toward the winning post. At the
signal off they CO. each one crawling
backward. The race is not always to
the swift. 1t is not at all easy to keep
in a straight line, and every time a
racer turns to look over his shoulder
he loses time and ground. There will
be collisions, bumps, ard all sorts of
little mishaps, which will thoroughly
amuse the spectators, and the chill
dren, too.
