My Ship.

A game played by any number OF
persons some Of whom should not
have taken part in it before, Each
player is asked what his ship is lad
en- with, and must mention an article
beginning with the first letter Of either
Of his names. Thus, II his name is
John Smith, he may say, for instance.
Jewsharps, sunfsh, jelly or saurkraut
Those who haye not played before are
not told Of this condition, and when
ever they mention something begin
ming with the wrong letter are tod
that the ship cannot enter port with
such a cargo. They are usually much
puzzled by observing that a cargo
proper for one person is not allowable
for another.
The game is played under several
different names. In one form, each is
asked: What will you take to the
pcnic?" and If the answer does not
begin with the proper letter the player
IS told that he will not be allowed to
go.-Newark News.

The Frog Who Eoraot.

A very long time ago there lived in
a pond a certain frog, yellow.spotted
and very sad Sad because he could
not remember. He sat on a leaf and
tried to remember every day from Q
TO 6. That was his business day. And
in the evening he tried to remember
for recreation.
The only real pleasure he got was
when dirty boys tried to catch him.
He would sit on a lily just out Of their
reach until they fell in. That made
him laugh Sometimes an ugly old
woman with a twisted stick came down
to the pond and laughed at him; and
then he tried to remember harder than
ever, but never could; and he hadn't
even the pleasure of seeing her fall in.
Well, one day he had Just finished
his mornings work when he met
very old toad who was rather friendly
with him. Come, come" said the
toad, Il don't like TO see you like
this; what's the matter?" I'm trying
to remember" replied the frog. The
toad shook his head. Shouldn't dc
that" he said; when you get TO my
age you'll try to forget" (You see the
toad, was what is called, a sentimental

BoRAX IN THE DAIRY.
A Matter Of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman.


The problem OF keeping sweet all
the utentils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest faint or hint OF staleness
left in a can, tin or churn may ruin
& whole output; that the faint which
IS left Is in the form OF bacteria
which grow and multiply in milk o.
butter, producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue Of its own which is, II any,
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and 1t is little wonder that
there mas been constant clamor for

a Case Of Honor.

Emily Wright, summoned to Mr..

through the bright morning, she had
been unusually happy and full! Of Gag

are affected the consulates handle most

fact that Germany spends $4,000 year
