Ted

r HAVE a little brindle dog.
 Seal-brown from tail to head.
 His name l guess is Theodore, But l just call him Ted. He's only eight months old today l guess he's just a pup; Pa saws he won't be larger
 When he is all grown Up. He uIays around about the house, As good as he can be-; He don't seem like little dog, He's just like folks to me. And when 1t is my bedtime,
 Ma opens up the bed; Then i nestle down real zy And just make room for Ted And oh. how nice we cuddle! He doesn't fuss or bite, lust nestles closely up to me And lies there still all night We love each other dearly.
 My little Ted and me We're just good chums together, And always hope to be. Maxine Anna Buck, in Our Dumb An malS.

 His sleep was very restless that night. He tossed and turned and thought:

Some interesting and effective lit tie tricks may be performed with the aid of thread that has pre- viouslv been soaked in salt and water. This renders the ash of the thread, when burned, sufficiently strong to support a light weight, such as an empty eggshell, provided there Is no thread is attached.
 Having suspended an egg by a pre- pared thread, a match can be ap- piled and the thread burnt right through without the egg falling to the rrOn0d.

 This is another way of playing Blind Mans Buff, and is thought by many to be an improvement on that game.
 The player who is biindfofded stands in the centre of the room with long paper wand. which can be made of newspaper folded up isngthways. and tied at each end with string. The other players then join hands and stand around him in a circle.
 Some one then plays . merry tuns on the piano, and the piayerB dance round and round the blind man, until suddenly the music stops; the blind man then takes the opportunity of low~ ering his wand upon one of the circls. and the player upon whom 1t has fallen has to take hold of 1t.
 The blind man then makes 6 noise. such as. for instance. the barking of dog, a street cry, or anything he thinks win cause the player he has caught tc betray himself. as the captive must initiate whatever noise the blind man likes to make.
 Should the blind man detect who holds the stick, the one who Is caught has to be blind man; if not. the game goes on until he succeeds.
