pansr Ball Battle.

A new and pretty game is Drawing
Room Blizzard" To enjoy it best go
into the hall, or longest in the
house. Sometimes the door between
two small rooms may be opened, and
thus give plenty of space.
Divide the players. Send half to
one end. half to the other.
Fasten two extra wide tapes near
each end for goals. For a ball make a
large one of paper, something like
those used for shaving papers. Place
this ball in the middle of the room,
and at a given signal let each player,
previously armed with a small fan, try
to blow the ball over the opposite goal
The number Of goals to a game must
be planned beforehand, and each sue
cess is scored to the winning side.
This game makes a wonderful lot Of
fun, and soon every old, gray-haired
man and woman will be as earnestly
blowing away to get the ball over the
other goal as the children are.

A Preventive Measure.

A practical plan for checking the
spread of tuberculosis in public con-
veyances has just been proposed. The
Anti-Tuberculosis league of Cleveland,
says the Leader, has received the sug-
gestion that the conductors be sup
piled with small cards on which is a
printed request that passengers de-
sist from splitting on the floor, togeth-
err with a copy of the law OF the sub
ject. When the conductor notices a
passenger violating the rule he is ex-
pected to hand the offender one of
the cards. He avoids all dispute with
the passenger, the other passengers
note what has been done, and it is
thought that the expectorator will
either become embarrassed and leave
the car, or take the suggestion in good
faith and abstain from repeating the
offense.
The Anti-Tuberculosis league, which
was organized recently, is having a
great deal of literature printed to dis
tribute among the schools, the work
shops, the tenement districts and in
all places where the seed of education
along hygienic and sanitary lines tend
ing t o prevent the spread of tubercu-
losis would show promise of growth.

Game of Initials.


A good game for you to play is this:
Distribute paper and pencils among
the boys and girls, one for each, and
tell them to write down at the head of
their sheets of paper their own in
itials, each one to write down his own
initials only.
Then read aloud the following ques-
lions for them to write down in the
order that you give them.
These questions they must answer
with words beginning with the initials.
After the questions have all been an
swered, or after time is up" gather
all the papers and read the answers
aloud. Here is an example: One boys

In ancient Egypt the cat was not
only loved, but worsEiped. Hence,
when Cambyses, son of Cyrus the
Great, invaded the country, he is said
TO have placed a number of cats and
dogs at the head of his army. Rather
than risk killing the creatures, the
people fell an easy prey to the con-
Queror. A cat having gone to sleep
on the sleeve of his robe, Mahomet
cut the sleeve off rather than disturb
pussy. Petrarch, the great Italian
Poet, had his cat embalmed after its
death, and Montague, the French es-
sayist, wrote best when stroking his
cat with his left hand. OF three cats
aboard the Maine when it was blown
up in the harbor of Havana, two were
killed outright, but the third, a 13-year-
old, was heard meowing pitifully (on
the werck next morning. At onos a
boat was sent for, and it was brought
back to the survivors of the crew, Who
gave it a hearty welcome. DR.. Stark,
ar English surgeon in L%adysmith dur
ing the siege of the town by the Beers,

last words wer: Take care of my

ferers from this disease die before
they reach this age. Above sixty, the
per cent of cases is only twelve.
In general diseases. such as small

Although pneumonia has been called
"the old mans disease" the chances
are sixty-four to thirty-six against one

chances being more than two to one
against those so afflicted reaching the
age of sixty. Thirty per cent of the
deaths from this class of diseases oc-
u under the age of forty-five; 38
per cent, between forty-five and six

Victims of Bright's disease have a
fair chance of reaching sixty, only
16 in 100 dying of this disease before
forty-fve.
Complaints classified as 'genito-
urinary" are old-age diseases, n per
cent of the deaths from such cases oc-
curing at ages above sixty.
Fifty per cent of the deaths from
violent causes occur under forty-five.
Fully 6S per cent of the typhoid fe-
yer deaths occur under forty-ive, and
only 8 per cent at ages higher than
sixty.

At Gilmerton, near Edinburg, there
is a great deal of sandstone, very soft
and easy to work. In 1920 a black
smith named George Paterson re-
solved to make himself a house in the
rock, and after working for nearly five
years it was finished. 1t consisted OF
a smithy, a dining DON six feet high,
seven feet wide. fourteen and a half
feet long, with a bench all around, a
table, and a bed in the wall, a drink
ing of rather larger size, a kitch-
en- with bed in the wall, a cellar and a
washing house. All these things were
formed out of the living rock, each
room being lighted from a skylight.
over the entrance, carved in stone,
ran this inscription; Here is a house
and shop hewn in this rock with my
W hand. George Paterson" Then
followed some verses composed by
Alexander Penicuik, of which two
lines will serve as a sample:
On Jacobs pillow nightly lies my head,
My house when living and my grave
when dead.
Paterson died in 1876, having dwelt
eleven years in his cave, which be-
came a well-known resort of holiday
makers. Even judges used to take a
drink in the stone parlor.

Such is the method adopted by the

The Manic Tarnet.

Prepare two targets both just alikeA
made of ordinary pine wood. Thbn(
some day when you have visitors put
up n of these targets, give each
guest a darning needle and invite
them to throw their needles at the
target. Striking the bullseye counts
500; the first circle outside it, 100.
the second circle, so, and the third
circle, 10.
To their surprise, the guests viii
find they cannot make the needles
stick in the target. Invariably, no
matter how vigorously thrown, the
needles will drop to the floor.
Now, tell them you have a magic
target. (Get the other target out and
set it up Have each one put a short
length of thread through his needle.
and then try target practice again.
This time the needles will stick all
right, and all will wonder at the magic
target.

Torpedo plved Inc Mud.

A torpedo was fired recently from
the after starboard tube of the flag
ship Wisconsin of the Asiatic squad
ron. 1t went straight until within 100
yards from the ship, when it dived
and buried itself in the mud. Until
the propellers stopped it created a
black whirlpool where it was burrow-
ing into the bottom. A buoy was
dropped and native divers were dis
pached to the scene. Some hours
later the torpedo was located and re-
turned to the ship. The tail of the
little destroyer was buried six feet
beneath the mud and it was a difficult
task for the diver to make a line fast
tc it.

Knocking against my window pane
Fell the drip-drip of the silver rain
Like tears by an angel wept.
When a teasing wind came rollicking by-,,
And the raindrops fed with a farewell
sigh
But one in n rosebud crept,
1t lay like a gem on her heart OF gold'

Breathed to this blushing flower.
Then a sunbeam sped from his nome On
high
And carried the raindrop up to the sky
Where he wooed her for one short hour'

dropped into water it will spread out,
and not be soluble in it at all, while
in alcohol it will dissolve and leave
the liquid clear.
Alcohol has a curious trick when
mixed with water. Put some water
into a graduated measuring tube, and
after pouring it into a glass measure
the same quantity of alcohol. If you
mix the two you will find a shrinkage,
as the two liquids will measure less
together than the sum Of the two
measured separately.
