The Levites living in Israel showed
themselves self-respecting men. They
curried no favor. With one accord
they surrendered their livings and
made an exodus to Judah. A modern
analogy to this is found in the Scotch
clergy. The loss sustained by Israel
was very great. II was like the exo-
dus of the Huguenots from France.

Take Care.

Take Care is game played by any
number Of persons in several ways.
In one Of the most common, -four is
packed tightly into bowl. which is
then turned over and removed. leaving
the -four in mound. On top Of this
is placed a small coin. The players
in turn then remove each q part of
the -four with knife, and whoever
lets the coin fall must pick it from the
-four with his teeth. Sometimes each
one says take care" as he cuts of his
portion of the flour, and the game thus
receives its name.
There are many substitutes for the
-four and coin. One of the best is a
cardhouse of two cards on pile made
of the rest of the pack loosely thrown
together. Each player removes one
card. and he who allows the cardhouse
to fall must pay forfeit. The game
may be played out Of doors with a lit
tie flag stuck in pail of sand, from
which each player removes little
on the end Of stick.
