Snakes Tail.


Snakes Tail is a game played by
any number Of persons, one of whom
is selected as catcher, and the others
form in single file to represent a
snake, the last player being called
the snakes tail. Each player in the
file places his hands on the shoulders
of the one in front of him. At the
opening of the game the catcher
stands about 20 feet from the head
of the file, facing him, and at the
signal tries to catch the tail without
pushing any one in the row. The
snake defends it's tail by moving
about in any way, but if the row
breaks itself it is foul, and the tail
is considered as caught. When the
tail is, caught, he becomes catcher in
turn. and the catcher takes this place
at the head.
Another way of playing the game is
to allow the catcher to name any one
in the row as the one he intends to
catch If he catches the one named,
they change positions. The player at
the head of the line may stretch out
his hands to impede the catcher's
progress, but is not allowed to push
him. - g

Blue Serge Always in Favor.

Blue serge costumes never seem to
go out of fashion, and just now they
are very much in evidence. For gen.
eral seaside wear, and for yachting
gowns, there is nothing to equal navy
blue serge; but everything lies in it's
make and trimming Combinations of
blue and some other color are still
adopted by the fashionable world, but
blue and green have had their day, in
spite of the fact that blue serge
dresses, piped with bright emerald
green velvet, have not yet finally
dipped below the modish horizon.
Navy blue, daintily piped with scarlet,
is always in good taste, and navy blue
serge trimmed with white cloth is the
perfection of quiet elegance. 1t makes
a charming gown as standby for the
late summer and early autumn sea-
son; it is very useful for either sea-
side or yachting, and last, but not
least, it makes an ideal going-away
gown for an August or September
bride.

that for daughter to have two
dresses in the course of one year was
considered great good luck. Still, they
were brought up as ladies and prin-
cesses should be. Once upon a time
and here one can feel the delicious
fairy feeling creeping in-the three
princesses were taking their usual
walk in their solemn Danish woods,
when they fell in with a gypsy, who
insisted on telling them their for
tunes.
"You are to become queen over one
of the largest kingdoms of the EARTH"
she told the first young girl. And to-
day she is Queen of England. "And
you, too," she told the second "You

The Wandering Albatross.

or all the strange creatures seen by
travellers not the least interesting is
the wandering albatross. This great,
feathered wanderer, sometimes meas
uring II feet from tip to tip of his
wings, will follow a. ship for days at
time. Some travellers and sailors
declare that they have seen a partic-
ular bird fly for weeks at time with
out ever being seen to alight upon the
waves.
1t not only follows the ship, but
wheels in great circles around it and
above it, high in the air, as if to show
that it is not tired. Sometimes the
bird will be seen to hang in the air
with its wings apparently motionless,
and the sailors say that then it is
asleep.
Not only in pleasant weather. will
the albatross follow a ship for days
ard weeks, but through the most ter
rife storms it will continue it's untir-
ing flight. In fact, to find an alba
tross otherwise than on the wing is
like finding weasel asleep.
Once year the female albatross
flies away few thousand miles tc
the great, lonely island rock of Iris
tan d'Acunha, which lifts it's desolate
head far in the South Atlantic, or to
some equally remote place, and there
lays one egg in the hollow of a rock.
The albatross has always been a
bird of mystery, and in ancient times
the people believed that these un-
we2rying seabirds were the ,compan-
ions of the Greek warrior Diomedes.
who were said to have been changed
into birds at the death of their chief.
When America was discovered and
ships began to sail abroad to the Pa
cific ocean to double the cape of Good
Hope and to explore the "seven seas"
generally, the old belief about the al
batross had been forgotten by the
sailors and explorers, but in their
long ard lonesome voyages over
waters which were cut by no keel
but their own, and upon whose vast
expanse they saw no other sail but
theirs, the present of the albatross
following the ship day after day be-
came a great source of comfort and
companionship.
So it came to be a belief that i'll
luck would follow any one who killed
one of these birds: and that belief is
common among seafaring men to this
