Jolly Outdoor Games

~ F COURSE, you boys and girls
 all know how to play jack NJ stones, But you may not know
 all the games that can be played
 Do YOU know Cats in the Well" for instance? It is played in the following fashion:
 Roll the jacks from the hand to the ground; these are the cats.
 Then place your left hand near them. with the firct lightly closed. the thumb and first finger forming the opening 70 one well.
 Jack may now be thrown up. and. while he is in the air. one of the four cats on the ground must be picked up and put In the well.
 Repeat the operation with the sec ond third and fourth cats until all have been drowned in the well. The left hand may now be taken away, leaving the dead cats in bunch.
 Now Jack may be tossed up. and this time all four eats must be picked up before Jack comes down.
 Here is a game played with ball. called "Blaek Baby" Do you know
 It is jolly, noisy game. and must be played on level. soft ground.
 Make holes. one for each player. about three feet apart and all in a line. Each boy must stand by and guard his particular hole. while the 9Sse 6oy a ons Common Sna moi hollow m india-rubber ball or a soft yarn ball, covered with leather) slowly along the line of the holes, so that 1t win drop into the hole at the extreme other end.
 If he succeeds, then the roy at the other end tries to roll 1t back to him in the same manner.
 But this cannot go on very long without the ball failing to go the full length of the line and dropping into one of the many holes between ends.
 As soon as this happens, all the players except the one who guards the hole holding the ball scamper away for dear life. crying "Black babyl black babyH while the boy on guard snatches the ball up and fires" it as hard as he can at the boy he thinks he can come nearest to hitting.
 If he misses the boy. then all the players return to their places, and a little piece of coal--a "black baby is put into the hole that had just been guarded
 If, however, he hits the boy. then the boy who was hit must quickly pick up the ball and fire it at some one else. This Is the beginning of a wild "crackabout," which lasts until some one unluclSily misses and hence gets black baby"
 As soon as any boy gets two black babies" he is called "black baby half whitewashed."
 The unlucky boy who first gets three 'black babies must take the ball, walk to a fence or tree or wall, and resting his left hand and right foot against the support (which he Daiiat faAaA nanat thrnNl the ball over

The Noble Life

True worth is in being, not seeing;
 In doing each day that goes by Some little good-not in the dreaming Of great things to do by-and-by. For whatever men say in blindness,
 And spite of the fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindnosa And nothing so royal as truth. We get back our mets as we measuros We cannot do wrong and feel right; Nor can we give pain and gain pIeaaura For justice avenges each slight. The air for the wing of the sparrow.
 The bush for the robin and wren. But. always the path that is narrow
 And straight for the children of rneu.

But they rushed for the shore in such desperate haste That of them fell in the sea: Poor Bunny O'Bobtail and Tortoise MacSlow Had ducking, grieve to relate, While Sir Monkey escaped by the tip of his tail And the presence of mind of his mate. And the Goat kicked the Duck, and the Baby Seal
 squealed,
 And the Sea Serpent savagely hissed, For somehow just doing the things that they pleased Seemed to give all their tempers twist. So the very next morning, the very first thing They all bundled back to the ship, And back with delight to their homes and men, And have since been on trip EIDE.

Rats That Eat Crocodiies

CEEING that crocodile lays up. O ward of twenty eggs, 1t seems
 wonderful that in regions like tho Upper Nile these big and savage 9reu- tiles do not increase to such an esteE1t as to become masters of the whole country around the river. Fortunately, sort of swamp rat has found that crocodile eggs are good to eat, SO digs them up from the mound in which the parent had buried them to hatch and devours them by the dozen.
