THE GAME OF TURTLE"

Here's a game for girls and boys who
have good strong muscles. 1t is called 'tur-
tie
Any number may play and no one player
Is at" for all are "it'' together. The game
commences by each choosing the kind Of
turtle he intends to be- One perhaps Is a
land tortoise, another a snapper. another
mud turtle, and so on. Then they all sit in
a row. resting their chins on their knees,
and each holding his left ankle with his
right hand and his right ankle with his
left hand This is very difficult position
TO keep. At given signal the turtles start
for a goal short distance away. 1t Is the
object OF the game for the turtles to waddle
TO the goal and go back to the starting point
without removing their hands from their
feet Many let go before the proper
moment, the others shout dead turtle" and
keep on. leaving their unfortunate COM
panioH in the background. The rules of the
game demand that he wait there until the
first Successful racer reaches him on his
way back and touches him with his elbow.
by which he is supposed TO instin new life
Into the poor dead turtle The latter i'm
nediatcly starts out again. and finishes in
the best style he can. AS there are always
seycrI! dead turtles, he is never lonely IN
his effort to succeed. The winner Is, of
course. the one who returns to the starting
place first.

THE BUSY BEES.

Dame Nature has so much to attend
to on this great earth of ours that If she
didn't put some of her children to sleep
there would be no getting on with such
big family. Winter is a great cleaning
time for the dear old lady; she sends the
birds south, while she covers the north
with a coating Of snow and ice which make
nice counterpanes for the flowers, and they
nestle under the warm brown sod and grow
silently until they are ready to peep above
the ground. Then 1t is springtime. Dame
Nature has shaken her duster and the
sleepy ones begin to rouse up. 1t Is then,
when fragrance fills the air. that the bees
begin to hum softly in their hives. where
they have been working in a doing way
through the winter. clinging together In
great heavy clusters. Now that the now
ers have come the bees are eager to be
out in the air, working to store up honey,
for it is their life to work, and they have
only short time-from April to September
If you are ever fortunate enough to look
through a glass or observation hlVe ana
begin to know something about the bees,
you will find it very interesting. All you
see at first is a mass of little reddish groups
that look like coffee berries or punches OF
raisins, piled against the glass and they
move slowly, quite unlike the quick darling
creatures flashing and sparkling in the sun
light among the flowers; this is when they
are busy making wax with which to build
the store houses for their honey.
They really lead a wonderful life; the
hive is a royal palace, in which the queen
is ruler and the thousands of subjects who
cluster around her have their various duties
1t is the females who are forever busy
the males are the drones-and after the
queen has selected her husband from
among them, the rest are killed. because
| they are useless, and even the bridegroom
perhaps on his wedding day; indeed. the
drones are only allowed to live at all that
each new queen may have a choice of her
husbands.
The drones are handsomer than the hard
working lady bees, but there Is no ambi-
| ton among them; they sit and eat the
precious stores of honey and are quite will
| ing to let the women folk do all the work
make the wax cells for the palace gather
the honey, store it, guard the queen and
the royal family and keep every place In
order. There are certain rules and laws
laid down for the little community by which
they are governed. and they work from
hour to hour, from day to day, as long as
they live, with no hope of reward-a fitting
example to many boys and girls.

SAIL T..

How could we get on without 1t! In our
daily food, as in our daily life. a little of
1t Is necessary, and the absence of 1t takes
away from the flavor of everything we eat.
The salt of life" which We hear about
signifies the health. vigor and wit which
We find in life. There was time, IN coun-
tries far from the sea, when primitive
man never used salt in his food, and 1t
was only when nations advanced in civil
ization that salt became an absolute ne
cessity.
But 1t was not alone as food that salt
was valued; among the ancients a salt
spring was regarded as a gift Of the gods.
and it was believed that any salt found
in the soil lent it a peculiar sanctity and
made 1t a place where prayers We're most
readily heard Every meal that included
salt had a certain sacred character, Great
ing bond of piety and friendship between
host and guest. Hence the expression
There is salt between US" meaning friend
ship: and to be untrue to salt means to
be dislOyal or ungrateful.
In the middle ages, when all classes and
degrees sat at the same board, they were
placed according to rank, above or below
the great saltcelar which always stood In
the middle and marked the dividing social
line. Above the salt meant of high de-
gree. Below the salt were the yeOmanry
serfs and vassals of the feudal days
good description OF this custom may be
found in "lvanhOe," where Cedric the Sax
on entertains his vaSsals and friends.
pinch OF salt is always considered
lucky in cooking. To take anything with a
pinch of salt means to excuse or make
allowances for it. A salt Is a sailor. TIC
salt ones conversation means to make ii
sparkle. Salt Is always employed in a
sense of benefit or strength.
The Bible has many references to salt
among them being we are the salt of the
earth" Mat. v:l3 and ST. Paul says, Let
your speech be always with grace sea-
soned with salt"
Salt is used by Catholics in baptism
they consider it a symbol of wisdom, and
put few grains In the mouth of the per-
son baptized.

CROWLEY.

Crowley. La, Nov. 13.-At the
regular meeting of the Police Jury
of this parish yesterdayy~a petition
containing about 500 names, was
presented. asking for an election to
be authorized for the purpose of vOt-
ing on the liquor question. After A
brief discussion of the matter, an
ordinance was passed calling the
election to be held at the same time
as the general election next April
The petition asking for the election
was generally signed in all parts Of
the parish, and it is generally believ-
ed that the prohibition movement
will carry. A victory for the Pro-
hibitionists will make the parish dry
after the LIST of January, 1908.
The Police Jury also passed a
game law. prohibiting the shipment
of game from this parish, either
dead or alive. This law will become
effective at once, and will tend to
prevent wholesale slaughter of game.
