This is n really interesting game
much played by German children.
First. the players choose one Of their
number TO be the Organ Builder. he
goes around among the rest and places
them I'm a straight row. Each player
must hold out both his or her hands
folded in front of him, and the organ
Builder goes along the row, saying:
"These are good organ pipes" Then
he taps each players hands HghtIy
with a thin stick, and the player whom
he touches must give forth long sus-
tained sound to represent a tone OF the
pipe. 90
If the tone does not suit the organ
Ruilder. he may demand an improve
ment. but only once, and the players
must obey.
After he has heard sound from
each "organ pipe" he retires long
enough TO be blindfolded While he
is away all the organ pipa' change
places.
when he returns, the Organ Builder
says: d,
ALAS, how will my organ be- now
am blind and cannot seer
He reaches out with his stick anu
fans the outstretched hands of one OF
the players. The one who is struck
must Immediately utter the same souhd
as he or she did the first time, ana the
Organ Builder may demand that 1t De

Then he must say:
"Ah, this pipe is naming Ihe
player who he thinks it Is.

the PLAYERS dance around him and sils:
"yVbat a builder have we here
What a wrctched, wretched car %,

and the Organ Builder must try the

II. however. he guesscs correctly, the
players sing:

PANAMA CANAL PROGRESS.
Chief Engineer Wallace Says SAM
tary W ork IL Now showing
Positive X ,sults

Mr.. John L. Wallace. chief engineer
Of the Isthmian Canal Commission,
said recently that there are now prac-
tically i've thousand men engaged un-
der his direction on the engineering
and construction work OF the canal.
The work Of installing an American
plant at Culcbra is going forward as
fast as the machinery and supplies can
be obtained on the isthmuS. When
Mr. Wallace left there We're six Amer
lean steam shoves at work in the
Culebra excavation. and arrangements
had been made To install additional
machines at the rate OF two a month.
The health OF the young Americans
on the isthmus is particularly good.
and the employees from the United
States have been remarkably free from
fever.

Americans are nearly completed, and
Mr.. Wallace states that It will he only
matter OF few months now before
life on the isthmus will have practi-
cally all the comforts and conveniences
that are obtainable here on large
work OF this character.
In answer 10 question as 10 the
necessity of an immediate decision by
the commission on plan OF construc-
ton, Mr. Wallace said that IL would
require about two years 10 manufac-

PHoTOGRAPHING AN OWL.

The Great Horned Owl may be fas-
cinated by a dog. And the photograph
ing OF the Great Horned Owl under
these conditions is not difficult; wait
until the owl seiZes the fowl and stops
to rest on the return to the woods;
then let dog be led TO within twenty
or thirty feet Of the owl, and the bird
will be all attention for the dog and
take no apparent notice Of the person
leading it. The behavi OF the owl at
such times is very amusing. 1t stands
motionless, gazing intently at the dog;
but after few minutes, if the dog re
mains quiet. the bird seems to become
nervous, and steps first to one side
and then to the other, kissing, swapping
its beak, and rufiing its feathers. AT
ter this the owl will usually try to
make off with its prey; but If another
halt is made, the birds actions show
even more nervousness. While the
owls attention is thus attracted is the
time to approach within "photo-dis-
tance" TO get the snapshots. st

ROMANCE OF TWO GEESE.


I have always thought that wild
geese were the most interesting or
fowl. They have an intelligence and
system OF their own. They mate ana
marry, | used to think, just as people
do. and every gander is faithful to his
goose. Once when the wild geese
were flying overhead in the spring, one
Of our neighbors got out with ms gun
and shot into the flock flying overhead.
He wounded a goose in the wing and
IL fiuttered TO the earth. Our neigh
Dor captured it, and told his children
that they might keep it and make a pet
of It. BY caring for it tenderly ana
feeding It often this goose became quite
tame, and stayed all the year with the
tame geese.
Next spring the wild geese were fly
ing over again and the goose that had
been shot and tanned heard them honlS-
ing in the skies as they went over
She seemed to recognize a familiar
voice, and, showing great excitement,
gave n loud call. This was heard by
one of the geese in the sky, evidently
her mate of former years, and he, after
circling around for a time, finally came
TO the earth. found his long-lost goose
and remained with her. He was wild
for a time, and would fly whenever a
person would come near, but finally he
became domesticated, and the two
raised a brood OF goslings and lived
happy ever afterward with the tame
geese. Indianapolis News.

the last two methods being extensively
used by nurserymen and florists. But
for our purposes cuttings are best.
They may be rooted at any time OF the
year, but for hardy roses | have found
the old-fashioned method of inserting
dormant shoots in the fall the most
satisfactory.
Cuttings should be made from the
wood of the current year, which should
be Of medium strength and well
ripeued. They may be cut from eight
TO ten inches in length and placed five
or six inches deep in the ground. Care
should be taken to tread round them
thoroughly in order that the frost may
not lift them out. The next spring.
after they are well rooted, they can
be set farther apart; and by the second
spring they will be large enough TO
sell and will readily bring twenty y-hye
cents each. l know boys who have
paid all their own expenses from the
time they were twelve years old just
by propagating roses and other plants.
