FUN FOR WINTER EVENINGS.

FUN FOR WINTER EVENINGS.
When the snow blows and the ele-
ments are such as to make 1t most
unpleasant for one to wander far
from his own hearth-stone, the open
fireplace, with its cracking and blaz.
ing logs, seems to hold distinctive
charm. 1t Is then that the family
gathers around and each one relates
the pleasant and interesting things
that have happened during the day,
while some one toasts marshmallows
and another pops corn over the blaz-
ing fire. On such occasions there
are great many ways to make the
long winter evenings pass pleasantly.
Word building is one of them, and
will prove equally entertaining to
both old and young. Some one starts
the game by thinking of some word.
which, of course, he does not divulge
to the others, and gives aloud the
first letter of it. The next player
has to think of a word with that
letter for the first letter of his own
word, which probably will be en-
tirely different from what the first
player had in mind, and gives aloud
the second letter of it. The other
players add letter in turn, until
some one ends word and is dropped
out of the game. For instance, sup
pose the first player thinks of the
word charming. He gives aloud the
letter C. Then the next player adds
aloud !, thinking of the word clash.
The next player, having clap in mind,
adds the letter a, and the next, think
ing of clamor, adds nj, when 10! he
is dropped out of the game, as he
has ended the word clam. A new
word Is now started and the game
progresses, the players dropping out
one by one, after the fashion of
spelling match, until the one who
has succeeded in staying in longest
is pronounced the winner.
A musical contest will also prove
an attractive way of entertaining.
Provide each player with paper and
pencil, and then have some one play
snatches of old familiar and up-to.
date airs on the piano. The players
write the names of the selections on
the slips of paper, as they are
played The object being to find out
who can name the most number cor.
rectly.
At another time familiar quota.
tions might be pleasing feature. A
number of them are written so as
to give the correct meaning, but not
las they are quoted. Then the players
put their thinking caps on and write
them out correctly. The following
are given for examples, but any
others might be used equally as we'll

Katherine made no reply. The tears
rose to her eyes. Perhaps. had he
pressed her at that moment, gratitude
would have suffered him to change the
title of sister But he was too loyal
to take advantage of her emotion.
All this time Lilly made no sign at
all of being awake, or Of hearing any

the night.
Presently the dawn appeared, and

An Oxford undergraduate was re-
citing a memorized Grafton in one of
the classes in public speaking. After
the first two sentences his memory
failed and look of blank despair
came over his face. He began as fol-

dead. Fox is dead Gladstone is
dead" Then, forgetting, he hesi-
tated for moment, and continued,

A curious barometer is used by the
remnant Of the Araucanian race,
which inhabits the southernmost
province of Chile. 1t consists of the
cast-off shell of a crab. The dead

but the approach Of moist atmos-
phere is indicated by the appearance
of small red spots. If the moisture
in the air increases sufficiently, the
shell becomes entirely red.
