very strange and wonderful to them that
this old lady and their grandma should
have been children together in this very

bered as a stately old lady with snow
white hair, could ever have looked like
this little brOwn-haired, rosy-cheeked
girl, with the prim silk dress cut low
around the neck and standing out stiffly
at the hem?
To their delight, Mrs Clarkson said
they might carry the picture to show to

upon her worn face.

We gave her muff a bath, like little Toby

THE RUSSIAN GAME "GoRELKI"
The Russian games are mostly of the
strenuous order, for the sake of the health
promoting exercise; the girls take part
on perfect equality with the boys. One
game that is usually played upon the
lawn is called "Gorelki'' (Burning). The
children are arranged in couples, number
unlimited, and not restricted in arrange
ment as to sex, two boys, pairing off, or
two girls, or one of each kind, according
to convenience. Then they march in pro-
cession behind single leader in the ca

rush for the front. If they can do this,
and clasp hands again in front of him,
before he can grasp one of them, which
he tries his best to do, they can then go
to the bottom of the line and continue
to march, while the next couple try the

Besides games which French Canadian
children share with us, there are many

The children playing, of whom there must
be an even number, are divided into two
groups, each having leader. One leader
throws a stick to the other, who catches
it is his right hand. Then the two leaders
alternately place a hand on the stick, one
above the other, till the top is reached.
He whose hand comes out on top takes
the stick and twirls it, holding it by the
tip, three times around his head. If he
drops it the other side wins; if not his
side hides first while the others cover
their eyes After hiding his party he re-
turns, and those who have been blind
folded set out to find them. There are

TO END CUBAN RECIPROCITY.

Congressman Needham has
introduced a bill repeating the
act giving effect to the recipro-
city treaty with Cuba and direct
ing the president to give due
notice Of the termination of the
treaty. It will be remembered
that the duration of this treaty
is for five years from its ratifica-
tion, with the proviso that it
shall continue thereafter indefi-
nitely until o1e party or the
other gives notice of it's ter
mination. That was an unusual
and improper clause to insert in
such a treaty, for it will require
apparently majority vote of
both houses Of congress and the
approval of the president to put
an end to a treaty which has not
greatly benefited Cuba, has not
increased American trade to a
degree which in any way COM
pensates for the great loss of
revenue to the treasury, has
seriously injured the prospects
of the beet-sugar industry,
strengthened the hold of the
sugar trust both in this country
and Cuba, and finally, and worst
Of all, has led to the retaliatory
action by Germany, of which we
cannot complain, but which may
result in a tariff war injurious to
both countries. Experience has
also proved that the notion of
mawkish sentimentalists that in
some way it would "bind'' Cuba
to us, and endow its mixed popu-
lation with gratitude and love
for this glorious republic has no
foundation whatever. The Gu
bans do not like us and never
will like us. The treaty which
they have negotiated with Great
Britain shows that they have no
wish to encourage our merchant
marine, and would gladly give 10
the British even the naval ad-
vantages which by treaty are ex-
clusively ours. The bill putting
the Cuban treaty into effect
should never have passed. The
treaty must be ended so soon as
its terms permit it to be ended.
