THE COIN LEMON GAME.

Any number may play this game.
Two Of them stand aside, joining
hands like the arch in London bridge;
they represent the squeezer. The
other players are the lemons, AMI
they stand at some distance from
the squeezer.
The squeezer sings:
Some lemons / want for the freez-
er,
Come, juicy ones, come to the
squeezer."
They keep on singing this refrain
while the lemons creep nearer and
nearer. Suddenly one of them darts
through the arch.
II the squeezer is quick enough,
the lemon is caught and squeezed.
and stands aside, out of the game.
while the squeezer sings:
"A juicy lemon, squeeze him dry,
Well have another by and by"
But IL the lemon gets through ur
caught, the squeezer sings:
"See, the rascal's passed US by!
To catch another we must try"
II the squeezer fails three times, II
Ia worn out, and new one must
take its place. In this way the game
can be kept up for long time, for II
is seldom that all the lemons gets
caught.-Home Herald.

QUEER BIRD DEATHS.

Hawks dashing at bird on the
ground will forget to put on their
brakes in time to prevent fatal col
lision with the earth, and the same
result occurs when they try to over
haul a small bird in the vicinity Of a
wall.
For barn owls there is no contriv-
ance more perilous than an open
water tank near farm buildings round
which these useful birds are wont to
forage for rats and mice, continues a
writer in the Minneapolis Tribune.
Seeing its own image reflected in
the moonlit water, the owl imagines.,
apparently, this is an acquaintance,
and going, as 1t were, to shake hands,
finds a watery grave.
/ knew a man who took four young
jays from their nest, reared them till
they could feed themselves, and had
become very tame-every one Of the
four "got drowned" three while ex-
ploring the contents of open water
vessels; the fourth actually managed
the deed in a saucer, so intoxicated
was it with the joy of bathing.
Small birds are not infrequently to
be found banging dead by nest build
ing materials, and sometimes during
toilet operations they get their head
and neck fatally locked between the
stiff quilts OF their wing feathers.
wonder how many hundreds OF
young pheasants annually find death
in the meshes Of wire nettings. Even
though they are well able to fly over
obstacles ten times its height, little
pheasants are so utterly devoid o:
"gumption" that they will try to jump
through netting. taking not the slight
est warning from the bodies Of broth
ers and sisters who have hanged
themselves thus.

PROVERBS

One player goes out, and the 9TH
ers think of proverb. The number
OF words in the proverbs must divide
evenly into the number of persons
playing. Each person takes one OF
the words, until they are used up,
when, If there are more players, the
proverb is repeated. The player who
gees out should be told many times
the proverb will be given. She asks
each one in turn a question, and the
answer must contain the word given
to that player. Let us suppose the
proverb is, Waste not, want not"
The first question asked is:
Are you fcnd OF work."
YES, / like patchwork the best,
as you can use up the smallest
pieces, and it does not waste any
thing"
Are you fond OF sweet things?"
mo; / am not"
Have you been to the theater
lately?"
mo, but / want to go very much
who is your favorite poet?"
The fifth player, II there are more,
would use the word waste" again,
etc. If the questioner cannot guess
the proverb from the answers, She
must go cut again. If she guesses
it. the one whose answer betrays II
must go out. The following are very
good proverbs to choose:
"A friend in need, is friend in
deed"
"A stitch in time saves nine"
'All is not gold that glitters."
Honesty is the best policy"
ut never rains but it pours."
1T is an i'll wind that blows no
body good"
"A penny saved is a penny earn
ed"
Better late than never"
Make hay while the sun shines"
MANY hands make light work"
"A tree is known by its fruit. -

THE CUBS PUNISHMENT.
Sir Bruin sat racking his brains one
day
In the midst OF the forest scrub,
To think what punishment best would
fit
His smallest and widest cub.
For Cubby this morning had been so
That his parents were both in de-
spair.
He fatty refused to wash his face,
AS well as to brush his hair.
He pinched his mothers stub Of a
tail,
And he chewed his sisters ear;
He ate every smitch of the breakfast
And greeted his pa with leer.
He played every trick his brain could
devise,
Till his mother said to his dad:
"Tll leave to you to punish, my dear,
For me he's entirely too bad"
And what do you think was the pun
ishment that
Sir Bruin. prescribed for his son
Said he: IF you wish to Denave
like boy
I'll see that you really are one"
So he hurried the cub to the barber
shop
And shaved him so close and clean
You never would think to look at him
He ever a bear had been.
And all of the cubs in the forest wild
Refused to play with him then,
So | think whenever his coat grows
long
He'll never be bad again.-May
