FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
The More Players the Greater the Fun
In Game of 6uxx.


Buzz Is a very old game, but is al
ways a very great fayorite. The
more the players the greater the
fun, The way to play it is as fol-
lows: The players sit in circle and
begin to count in turn, but when the
number Z or any number in which
the figure 7 or any multiple of Z is
reached they say, Buzz" instead of
whatever the number may be. AS,
Tor instance, supposing the players
have counted up to II, the next
player will say 49," the next
Buzz" because IA is a multiple of
Z twice 1.-THE next player would
then say 49," the next "16,S and
the next would, of course, say
Buzz" because the figure Z occurs
in the number ~. If one of the
players forgets to say "Buzz" at the
proper time, he is out. The game
then starts over again with the re-
naming players, and so it continues
until there is but one person re-
naming. If great care is taken, the
numbers can be counted up to 70,
which, according to the rules before
mentioned, would, of course, be
called Buzz. The numbers would
then be carried on as Buzz /, Buzz
2, etc., up to 70, but it is very sell
dom that this stage is reached.

ABILITY Of Insects.

There was a certain little fly that
was observed to run three inches and
make in doing it 440 steps, all in
one-half a second of time. To equal
this in proportion to his size man
would have to run at the rate OF
twenty miles a minute.
The common flea leaps 200 times
its own length. TO show like agility
a man six feet tall would have to
leap a distance of 1900 feet. The
cheese mite is about one-quarter of
an inch in length, yet it has been
seen to take the tip of its tail in its
mouth and then, letting go with a
jerk, to leap out of a vessel six
inches in depth. To equal this a
man would have to jump out of a
well from a depth of 144 feet.

Composite Animals.

Each player is asked to write on
the top of piece of paper the name
of an animal. The paper is then
folded over and passed to the next
neighbor, who writes the name of
another, and so on until the first
players paper reaches the player at
the end of the row. The papers
are then unfolded, and each player
has to draw on the paper a compo-
site animal containing some feature
Of every animal mentioned. The
results are very amusing. 1t is best
to use the names of familiar ami
mails.

The Oldest Journal.

Kinpan, an official paper Of Chi

regular issue is 5000 copies. The
morning edition is printed on yellow
paper and is confined to trade inter

wholly official, while that at night is
printed on black paper, and its con-
