batting looked that way, they added
four runs unto their score and, IL
Soper had bit, would have chalked

1t was hard. In the 4th Wren filed
the ground with Punahou's slain,
for he pitched the ball with might
and main, and though the Puns
were with greed athirst not one Of
that nine got safe on first. Liehman
and Forbes pulled down skyscraper
dies, which Hampton and Coggswell
hit az "beauty" skies. In the 9Th

Game Of "Hands.D

Long time ago, when we were all
very little most of us found it great
fun to play the game CT hands" We
piled our hands up, you remember, one
above another, until the heap was as
tall as we could make it. Then, sud
denly, some one cried, Ready! Now!"
and we all drew our hands out as fast
as we could
Here is a new way to play hands
way that seems all right for us big
ger children. And sometimes it may
serve to amuse the very little ones,
too.
You name all the hands, in this new
way of playing. The girls hands have
boys names, John, Henry and so on;
the boys take Helen and Sarah and
other girls names for theirs. Then,
when all the players are quite sure
OF remembering each the two names
belonging to him or her, some one
calls out the names, one after another,
and the hands must come out. If any
one forgets the name of his or her
hands and fails to withdraw them,
that boy or girl must pay a forfeit.
And If the boy or girl calling forgets
the names-a list may be made, If
liked. to help out with this part of the
fun--he or she must pay forfeit, too.
The players may call out the names
in turn If this way is liked better, or
each player may have certain names
to call out in the order fancied. But
the game must always be played
quickly, and no player may call out
his or her own name.
Sometimes the hands are named
after the days of the week, the months
of the year, or in such manner; some
times they are given the names of
the children playing-only no player
must use the name that really belongs
to him or her.
Try this new-old game some time
when you want quiet yet merry
amusement, and you're pretty sure to
be glad you did.

Fountain Rlacklnn Brush.

There are some men who need no
inducement but the thought of per.
sonal appearance to keep their clothes
brushed and their shoes polished, and
even should they feel that they are
unable to afford to patronize boot
backing establishment every time
their shoes require cleaning, they pre-
sent themselves with brush and
box of polish and do the work them
selves. To others this task is so I'M
pleasant that it more often goes I'M
done, and if they cannot afford to pay
for shine they must have some very
convenient method of applying the
polish if they are to be induced to
keep their shoes looking decent. So
1t goes that the man who, is careful
of his appearance deserves to have
convenient outfit, and the man who is
careless must have one, and betM cen
the two the invention Of the brush
shown In the picture should not fare
poorly.
This arrangement is designed to
serve as a storage reservoir for the
liquid polish now in common use, and
to provide a convenient method of
applying it to the leather, ready for
the polishing brush. 1t win be noticed
that the bristles in the center are
slightly in advance Of those forming
the surrounding portion of the dauber,
being mounted on a sliding rod, which
extends into the reservoir. In the up
per portion of the latter there is an
adjusting screw, which limits the
movement of the rod even to the
point of preventing it altogether. To
start the flow of the liquid it is only
necessary to turn the screw once or
twice and press the dauber on the
shoe, when the central portion of the
bristles will elevate the rod and open
the valve leading into the reservoir.

subtarset for Marksmen.


Between the national guardsmen,
regular army, marines and sportsmen,
there is great deal of target prac-
tice going on all over the country at
all seasons of the year and frequently
accidents causing the death or injury
OF some one are reported through the
public press. Probably the majority
of these accidents happen to the
markers, whose duty it is to come in
front of the target at intervals and
mark out the spots made by the bull
let's of the gunners around the bulls
eye. Through a misunderstood signal
or blunder it sometimes happens that
the marker makes his appearance
while the target is still in use, re-
ceiving in his own body the bullet
meant for the target.
There has recently been designed an
apparatus which makes it unneces-
sary to place mans life in jeopardy
in this manner, the invention being
shown in the picture. The gun is
clamped in a movable frame, and yet
without binding it rigidly in any one
position. This mounting has prac-
tically the same effect as would be
obtainable with a ball and socket
joint and the latter might be utilized
for the purpose were it not for the
object sought to be attained by this
invention-namely, the actuating of an
auxiliary pointer, paralleling the rife
barrel at all times. AS the latter is
aimed by the marksman he moves
with it the pointer beneath, which in
dicates on the little stationary target
just where the bullet will strike the

What Snakes Ike to Ear.

A mehagerie menu is really a much
more complicated affair than it may
seem to the outsider. 1t is not just a
matter of so many pounds of meat so
many loaves Of bread so many bales
Of hay. Snakes, for instance, are very
fastidious eaters. Rats, mice birds.
guinea pigs, toads. frogs, fish and
worms have to be provided for the
various reptiles. None of these can
be kept in quantities ready for use,
but must be fed to the crawling, wig
Cling epicures either alive or still
warm. Many snakes will starve them
selves rather than touch food that has
been dead any length of time.
Bears need a good deal Of dieting
and especially in the matter of meat.
They are also fond of eating between
meals" and thrive best when supplies
of bread and vegetables are strewn
around their dens so that they may
eat when the fancy seizes them.

large one. Of course. each gun used
on this mounting must first be tested
by actual practice, until the pointer is
adjusted to indicate accurately the
work of the firearm. Then when the
gunner pulls the trigger the bullet
flies to the main target and the little
arrow beneath the gun springs for
ward and punctures the paper target.
After the round is finished the gunner
has but to detach this subtarget and
he has complete record of his shots,
without waiting until the scorer has
summed them up with the aid of his
telescope or field glass. AS the use
OF the main target is simply some
thing to give the marksman some
thing to aim his gun at and all the
scoring is done on the subtarget, it
matters little if the bullet marks re-
main on the main target indefinitely.
The inventor is Henry B. Cummings
of Maiden, Mass.

were separated. But there was no
such thing as keeping them apart. The
baby rubbed the skin off its forehead
and trunk trying to get through the
bars, and both walled so long and
piteously that the keeper was obliged
to put them together again.
A shy baby camel that passed
through the hands of this same trainer
refused to look upon the world ex-
cept from its favorite station, between
its mothers legs. The mother, too,
would show her displeasure at any
effort toward intimacy by splitting VIC
lently at every one in sight.
The kangaroo also is very fond of
her offspring, and will patiently carry
1t about long after it is ready to hop
on it's own account.
But for display of pure affection
the mother monkey beats any other
animal, and when there is an addition
to the family circle there is general
rejoicing. A baby monkey sticks fast
by its mother, and asleep or awake
it seems always in her thoughts.

slain badgers the peasants proposed
to convey 1t to the nearest village, a

twigs, they dragged 1t behind them.
BY and by the squeal of an animal
was heard and they then saw another
badger following them. Although
they attempted to drive it away it
took no notice of them, but came up
to the dead badger and began to lick
It. The men now gave up trying to
brighten it off, and again fell to drag
ing their burden, whereupon the live
badger lay down beside the killed one,
seized it gently by the ear and thus
allowed itself to be drawn to the viii

nor boys could force the faithful crea.

Moles and Cattle.

Farmers used to think that moles
We're bad for the fields where their
herds grazed, but this opinion seems
to be no longer held. If the creatures
sometimes ate grass roots, they also
gobbled up insects and grubs which

So the moles did some good. A coun-
try laborer told that they were valu-
able animals because they ate up the
worms When they have cleared off
the grubs and worms in one district

mans belief that grass grew better
