THE GAME OF JACKsTRAWs.

The game of jackstraws is not new
one, but it Is both interesting and ex.
citing. more so than one thinks who
has not given it the consideration it
deserves. Let us describe it as 1t
should be Played, and you will see how
dlverting it is.
1t Is a game that is specially adapted
to a number of players. the number be-
ing practically unlimited, except by the
size of the table around which they sit.
Each PLAYER is supplied with SlpnAer
stick. to the end of which Il hook is nt.
tached by being neatly wrapped With
thread. A small fish hooS. II pjetr at
thin wire or II pin will answer, the wire
or pin ben" slight y bent ut the end.
The jackstraws consist of III"
sticks Of ivory. ..rne or woo". ah OF
equal length. say, from four to sly
inches. A pack of them ma! number
from twenty to a hundred. ut ynn'
pleasure. the time consumed in IT, =
game depending on this.
The straws may be perfectly pam
some of them may be ra.rrd. a> is '"h
in France. to distinguish Il en- fro"
the ordinary ones. One. for example.
may be king. another queen and sliji
another jack. The object of tbs wal
be explained later.
To begin the game player takes the
pack, or bundle. of straws in his hand,
holding them close and upright. with
ybn toI nhup
he suddenly let's them go. and the
straws fall outward on the table. IN
every direction. The player next on
the left then takes his hook and with ii
draws out as many straws as he cam
one after another, but he must do sc
without moving any other straw. If IN
taking out one straw he moves another
his turn is over. Then tue next player
on the left takes his turn, and this con
tinues until all the straws have been
taken. Each player then counts his
straws, and the one having the greatest
number is the winner of the game.
If the king, the queen and the jack
are used, the one who holds them. o'
either of them, counts twenty fer the
king, len .or the queen and five for the
Jack. All the other straws count one
each.
The game may be played with long
matches, the heads Of which have beer
cut off. This will be convenient wher
the regular straws are not on tand.
Jackstraws is known and played ln
many lands, Lut under dlfferen, names
In England, for example, it is called
Spillkins; in Germany, Fede" Spiel and
in France, Ionchets, or Honchets, from
the word meaning to strew. Some
times the French made the king. the
queen aid the jack of dilfere"; shape
so that they will be more difficult tc
pull from the pile.
Sometimes all the str,ws are mum
bered, say, ten number one. ten number
two, and so on, when hundred strawi
are used. Then, instead Of counting
each straw point the numbers Oh
them ,re added together. each scoring
the sum of the numbers held in his
hand.-New York Press.

There are mon who are born to DO to-
voted husbands and fathers who have
no happiness in any other realm.
They are safe to marry at twenty,
and once married means always mar
ried for them.
Other men-the majority. perhaps
are safer to wait until the follies and
adventures of life cease to seem at
tractive and until home has more al.
furements than the worlds maelstrom.
There are old matrons at twenty,
and old coquettes Of forty. and old
men of twenty and old fops at sixty.
The old fop and the old firt ought
never to have married for they have
never developed the qualities necessary
to insure happiness.
Not until we have our departments
Of parenthood in all the colleges Of
both sexes will we be able to bring
the breeding of human beings to its
highest standard.
Men and women need to learn how
to care for the body. the mind and the
spirit, and how to bring all three into
harmony, before they can develop the
race to the perfection possible.
BY and by our educators will realize
how much can be done for the world
by beginning to teach child "a gen-
Grafton before it is born" during his
parental months.
And then the finishing process will
come after it is born. When all these
things have been learned it will then
be time to discuss the most successful

"Dpadhpa |" Originated in Delaware.

The term "dea1heads' is in various
connections very much to the fore at
the present time. How Gid it arise!
Its origin is purely transatlantic.
Sixty years ago all the principal ave
nues of the city of Delaware led in
one direction, to a tollgatc close to the
Elmwood Cemetery road. This ceme-
terry having been laid out long before
the construction of the plank road be-
yond the tollgate, funeral professions
were allowed TO pass along it toll free.
One day as Dr.. Price. a well-knowh
physician, stopped to pay his toll. lie
observed to the gatekeeper.
considering the benevolent charac-
ter of the profession to which l have
the honor to belong, you ought to let
us pass toll free"
"No, no, DOCTOR" the man replied,
"we can't afford that. You send too
many deadheads through here as 1t is
This story soon travelled far and wide
until the term came to be applied to
any one who claims the privilege or
travelling on a railway system or pass
ing into a place of amusement free OF
