the others to pass under. They are
not formed till the leader gives the
signal
Some one will kindly play at the pi-
ano-any lively march or dance, TO
which the children can keep merry
step, singing as they go. They pass
once, twice or oftener around the cir
Gle; then the leader, who stands in
the center, must give a signal where
the bridges are to be made.
Immediately the eight children who
receive the signal raise their Joined
hands-two for each bridge, four
bridges altogether; and all the other
children pass under the bridges, dane
ing or marching to the music.
Then the leader gives the signal for
the bridges to be demolished. The
circle forms again as at first Then
new bridges are signaled for, to be
formed by different sets of children !;
the rest pass under these new bridges.
And so it goes as long as the chill
dren enjoy it. Very pretty game.

Monkey and SUGAR.

The following anecdote of a. tame
monkey, to which was given corked
bottle with a lump of sugar inside, in
dicates that the animal, though I'M
able to invent, could initiate A
phrenologist would say that the
monkey chad perception but not

was a problem that babe fair to drive
him crazy
Sometimes, in an impulse of dis
gust, he would throw the bottle out of
his reach, and then be distracted I'M
til it was given back to him. At 9th
er times he would sit with coun-
tenance of intense detection, contem-
plating the bottled sugar, and then
as if pulling himself together for an
other effort at solution, would sternly
take up the problem afresh and gaze
at the bottle.
He would tilt it one way and try to
drink the sugar out of the neck, and
then suddenly reversing it, try to
catch it as it fell out at the bottom.
Under the impression that he could
capture the sugar by surprise, he kept
rasping his teeth against the glass in
futile bites. and warming to the pur-

Too Thin.

There is a representative in con-
gress from the west who is exceeding
~ thin. Being a very good natured
man, this representative always takes
in good part any joking reference to
his slenderness; indeed, he is not
averse to a jest himself in that con-
pection, as is illustrated by an incl
dent that occurred in a street car in
Washington.
1t appears that just as the car was
rounding curve, a burly citizen
1urched forward and sat in the con-
gressman's lap. He recovered him.

PLAYS for Lessons

In acting little plays, the drudgery
of Did lessons is heard of no more.
The French people have been the first
to teach the little French children
their history by dolls, certainly a
much more interesting way than by
dusty books or lectures. These dolls
or puppets represent the different peri
DDS. They are dressed in the exact
costume of the period they represent
and are made to move through the
great diplomatic and parliamentary
moments of the country's history. This
is accomplished by means of silken
cords handled above on a miniature
stage. A man named Leo Clarette,
who invented the method with the
consent of the French educators, de
clares that history taught in this man
ner. by means of pictures, is i'm
pressed indelibly upon the minds of
the children. The method is to be
given a widespread trial in the schools
of France next fall. 1t is to be hoped
that the method will succeed, and that
it will make its way over to America.
History lessons will then be a con-
tinuous performance of going to the
pantomime. pastime dear to the
hearts of the children ALI over the
world.

suit of the revolving lump, used to
tie himself into regular k1ots round
the bottle.
Fits of the most ludicrous melan-
choly would alternate with spasms of
delight as a new idea seemed to sug-
gest itself, followed by a fresh series
of experiments.
Nothing availed, however, until one
day a light was shed upon the prob
lem by jar containing bananas fall
ing from the table with a crash and
the fruit rolling about in all directions.
His monkeyship contemplated the
catastrophe, and reasoned upon 1t.
Lifting the bottle high in his paws,
he brought it down upon the floor with
a tremendous noise, smashing the
glass to fragments, after which he
calmly transferred the sugar to his
mouth. and munched it with much sat
isfaction.

Sleeping Place for Cats.

For cats as well as dogs, the neatest
sleeping place is a strong, closely
woven wicker basket. Favorite pets
have basket with a curving canopy
top, decked out with a big satin bow
and carpeted with a rug of white
goats hair. Simpler baskets are
round and fiat and show a deep open
ing at the side. A soft blanket should
always be laid in the bottom of these
and made fresh and clean at least
once a week, says the Philadelphia
Record. A pet cat is so very tidy
about her own appearance that she re-
quires less attention than a canary or
a dog. AS a kitten, a dish of milk
should be placed where she can al
ways take a drink. An older cat al
ways likes bowl of milk kept filled
for her in the kitchen, while the
scraps from the table comprise the
remainder of her nourishment.
Scarcely any meat should be given in
a cats diet during winter.

Insects as Food.

The natives of Mexico and the white
colonists both regard the honey-ant OF
that country as a choice bit of food.
In the wonderful economy of the ants
there are some set aside as food for
the winter months, and these hang
themselves up to the roof of the cells
while the others feed them.
West Indian negroes and sometimes
the white settlers eat the grub of a
big weevil which Is found in palm
trees. 1t is perfectly raw when eaten.
There is butterfly to be found on
the Mediterranean which lives entire
ly upon fish. 1t is covered with mere
apology for a shell, and sailors on the
Mediterranean are very fond of it.

Most everyone is familiar with the

st. Bernard dog of the Alps. Now,
there is a college in Rome where dogs
are trained to be Red Cross nurses,

They are first taught to hunt up
wounded soldiers and then to bark at

and can make use of the aid the collie
carries with him.
