Elephant TAG.

Bach child takes the name of an
animal-dog, cat, kangaroo, panther
or anything he wishes-but one
must be the elephant, and one must
be the mouse. The elephant tries
to catch all the animals except the
mouse, and the mouse tries to catch
the elephant. If the elephant
touches one of the animals that ami
NAL must 90 into the menagerie,
probably the front yard. He tries
to get all the animals into the men
agerie without getting caught by
the mouse. If there are many chill
dren there can be two elephants and
two mice. If one Of the elephants
is caught he is put into the menag-
erie, too, but he can be rescued II
the other elephant touches him.

Gems In Verse
Death of NanoIeon,


Wild was the night, yet a wilder night
Hung round the soldiers pillow:
In his bosom there ragged fiercer fight
Than the fight on the wrathful billow.
few fond mourners were kneellng by
The few that his stern heart cherished.
They knew by his glazed and unearthly
eye
That life had nearly persisted.
They knew by his awful and kingly look,
BY the order hastily spoken,
That he dreamed OF the days when IA.
lions shook
And the nations hosts were broken.
He dreamed that the Frenchmans sword
still slew,

And the struggling Austrian fed anew,
Like the hare before the beagle.
The bearded Russian he scourged again.
The Prussian camp was routed,
And again on the hills OF naughty Spain
His mighty armies shouted.
over Egypts sands. over Alpine SHOWS.
Al the pyramids, at the mountains,
Where the wave Of the lordly Danube
flows
And by the italian fountains.
Again Marengo's field was won
And Jena's bloody battle:
Again the world was overrun.
Made pale at his lannon's rattle.
He died at the close OF that darksonna
day
A day That shall live in story.
In the rocky land they placed his clay
And left him alone with his glory"

Fooled After All.

During the peninsular war a num-
Der Of English officers had establish
ed a mess in Spanish village, with
native cooks, whose efforts were
fairly satisfactory to the keen ap-
petites Of the campaigners. They
we're joined, however, by a certain
peevish, cantankerous major, who
bitterly complained that every dish
was favored with sugar, after the
Spanish fashion, and quite uneata-
bic. Finally he confined himself to
a diet on eggs boiled in the shell.
"They can't sugar thosep he cried
triumphantly. But his triumph was
short lived. Next morning some
mischieyous subs were at the mess
table before the major and emptied
all the salt. cellars, replacing their
contents with powdered sugar. The
major soon appeared and with
gloomy complacency began upon an
egg, with which, as usual, he took
plenty of salt" At the first mouth
full his face turned purple with rage.
"Sugared, by Jove" he exclaimed
and rushed off to his tent.

To Stop a Baby's CRYING.

A physician told a young mother
how to silence her crying babe.
"Lay the child on its back" he
said, "and with your thumb and
forefnger close its nostrils gently.
The sudden stoppage of its breath
will surprise it immoderately. It's
howls will at once cease"
"But the cruelty the mother
began.
"Cruelty? Nothing of the kind"
said the physician. "There is moth
ing cruel m stopping baby's breath
for a second or two. Try this meth
cd. l have tried it on dozens of ba-
bies and never have known it to
fail"
perhaps III try it," said the
mother in a cold voice.-New York

Suspicious.

Tf you want to be liked in a
newspaper Office" said the man at
the desk, "you must be careful to
write only on one side of the paper"
The youth With a bunch of manu-
script looked at him suspiciously
and exclaimed:
"No, you don't. l may look young,
but can see through some things.
You want me to write my poetry on
one side of the paper so that you
can turn it over and use the other
side for your long winded articles
about finance. IT'S an economical
idea, but Pm not so foolish" -

-GLASSMAKlNG.
Thebes' Workers Were Adopts In The
Art Forty Centuries Ago.

Thebes' Workers Were Adopts In th.
Art Forty Centuries Ago.
The glass blowers of ancient
Thebes are known to have been az
proficient in that particular art as
is the most scientific craftsman OF
the same trade Of the present day,
after lapse of forty centuries Of SO
called progress" They were well
acquainted with the art of staining
glass and are known to have pro-
duced that commodity in great pro-
fusion and perfection. Rosselini
gives an illustration Of a piece Of
stained glass known to be 1000
years old, which displayed artistic
taste of high order both in tint and
design. In this case the color is
struck through the vitrifed struc-
ture, and he mentions designs
struck entirely in pieces from half
inch to three-quarters Of an inch
thick, the color being perfectly in
corporated with the structure of, the
piece and exactly the same on both
the diverse and reverse sides.
The priests of Ptah at Memphis
were adopts in the glassmaker's art,
and not only did they have factories
for manufacturing the common
crystal variety but they had learned
the yitrifying of the different col
ors and the imitation of precious
stones to perfection. Their imita-
tons Of the amethyst and of the
various other colored gems were so
true to nature that even now, after
they have lain in the desert sands
from 1000 to 1000 years, it takes
an expert to distinguish the genuine
from the spurious.
1t has been shown that besides
being experts in glassmaking and
glass colOring they used the dia-
mond in cutting and engraving
glass. In the British museum there
is beautiful piece of stained glass
with an engraved emblazonment of
the monarch Thothmes H., who
lived 3,4OO years ago.

"My DEAR" said the trusting wife,

"You dOn't?" asked the fond hus-

severely, "and learn something. If
you had billion dollars and took it
to England with you, how much
money would you have over there 2"

stewards fees and tips on board
ship" admitted Wagstaff. But Jud-
son went on with the cold, calm de-
termination which characterizes a
man who has Just learned a new
fact and is resolved at any cost to
impart it to his friends.
"You would not have a billion
when you struck British soil, though
you had every dollar with which
you left here, for in Great Britain
billion is a million millions, while
in France and the United States it
is only a thousand millions. 1t is
possible for a man to be a Millionaire
in this country or France, but no
one is ever likely to be a Millionaire
in Great Britain. The English use
of the word is the older and more
correct, and how we ever came to
take the French style / don't know.
l imagine it was because it was han
dy to have something to jump to
after you said million. Anyway, no
body ever thought OF talking billions
in ordinary conversation until late
in the sixteenth century. The term
was known only to scientists and
great mathematicians, and even the
great philosopher, John Locke,
speaks of the word as a novelty
people used to think and count
in thousands then, but nowadays we
are as familiar with millions as our
were with hundreds and |
speak of billions as they used to
speak of thousands, so much yaster
has the world grown. l suppose in
future years trillions and quadril-
ions, quintillions and sextillions

men as millions and billions are now
