Why !?

I know a curious little boy, Who is always asking why Why this, why that, why then, why now. Why no, why by and by. He wants to know why wood should When lead and marble sink;
 should blow,
 And why we eat and drink He wants to know what ma1es the
 clouds,
 And why they cross the sky; Why sinks the sun behind the hills. And why the flowers die. He wants to know why winds should
 come
 From out the bellows nose: Why pop-guns should go pop. and why The ocean ebbs and flows. He wants to know why fish have xills. And why we cannot fiys Why steam comes from the kettles
 spout He wants to know why coal should burn, But not bit of stone; How seeds got in the apple core, And marrow in the bone. He wants to know why ice should melt. Why spiders eat the flies; Why bees should sting. and why the
 yeast Should always make dough rise. Some of his why's are not too hard To answer, if you'll try; But others, no one ever yet Has found the reason why.

Chinese Writing

TvAKE your fathers cane in your
 hand and request the one you
 have chosen to step into the hall. All decide upon a rather short word. say. Meat" You both understand that you will tap with the cane for the vowels according to their regular order, a. one tap; c, ewo taps: i. three taps; Q, four tapss u. i've taps, and that the first letter of the first word Of every remark you make after she en- ters will be a consonant of the word she Is to guess. and the taps with the cane VIII be the vowels according to their order. As she enters, you begin writing with the cane on the floor all the diner ent characters, as you have in mind Chinese writing looks, and casually say, Must write fast?' Here she gets the 'sm." Then you make two heavy taps or dots with the cane as you write. This is the "e''; then, after a little more writ ing. make enc tap for the "a." Say, naturally, Iris easy enough, tf you once know howl and now she has the '.t' to complete the word meat" With little practice 1t can seem very natu- ral, and, consequently, very myseerious. Here is another word, table" You say, ''Tell me, if I write too fast" Make one heavy dot. Then say, Be sure you don't miss a word" After writing some more say, Look close. Then make two dots. and she has the word table" It is great sport

My FIRST of offers many had.
 But she my SECOND proved. For only by the Farmer Giles
 Could her hearts love be moved. The farmer he was well-to-do,
 My FIRST she knew 1t well, And also that, with poverty.
 True love will seldom dwell. You should have seen the farmer, when Upon his wedding day, He handed down his happy pride
 From out the one-horse shay. His shirtfront spread a famous frill, His coat was of deepest blue, His hat was white and soft as silk And such a polish on his shoe! But what did most display his taste (As MT Giles was heard to say) Was this: he wore a trousers of

A New Game
A NY number can play 1t, so long as you have q piece of paper

A NY number can play 1t. so long
 A as you have a piece Of paper
 and a pencil for each one, and an extra little piece of paper with the letters of the alphabet on. One of you begins by giving out list of things, perhaps these: Name or flower; something in the room; girls name; boys namei coiori Something to eat.
 As these are given out. you write them down one under the other, then the person who gave them shuts her eyes, and points her pencil somewhere among the letters of the alphabet
 Suppose the pencil points to K. then all of you set to work to write the names of the things in the list, each beginning with an R. For instance. opposite the first, you might write Rose; the next .heh "Rachei," Robert" Red" Roll"
 The one who gave you the list also times you. Suppose she gave you nve minutes, she stops you at the end or that time, and reads out what she her self has put down opposite the dlner- ent items in the list. If her list IS correct, she takes ten marks Tor eacn item, but If one of the other players has nut the same thing, each takes five. and if three have the same, she takes four, and the other two take three each Then the next one reads his and marks are given In the same way. At the end, add up your marks, and whoever has most has won.
