Games For St. Valentines pa,

NameS TOT SC. NaIenIInSS Oayo k A pleasant sort of entertainment for little folks can be got out of the fol lowing plan: As many valentines as there are children are written and slip ped into tiny envelopes. The children then choose postman from their num- Der and blindfold him. The postman is given an envelope and delivers it to any child he can catch. The one caught in turn becomes pOStman, and the game so proceeds until all the children have received letters. There are many variations to the game, such as an- nouncing each post to be from some distant city, as Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc The mails should be call ed quickly and the sport not allowed to lag.
 Another pleasant little game is play cd by concealing number of differ ent colored candy hearts about the room before the little guests arrive. Then at a signal the hunt begins. A ite heart counts one for the finder, aNblue heart two, a yellow three, pink four and red five. The child who has the greatest number of points at the end of the game may be rewarded with q box of candy.
 Another game quite popular on St. Valentines day Is that of love, with Dan Cupid as the chief performer. But this is played in so many ways that it is idle to lay down rules here.

King, the artist. was queer charac ter. He was an old bachelor, but he felt the need of companionship, and so, according to his fancy, he imagined he had a wife and had a room fitted up for her special use. as if the fancy was real tt.-.t---
 "On a sofa are Mrs. Kings shawl, her hat and gloves," said a visitor. "she having just returned from a walk, it is supposed. You know with such q wife he is not troubled by feminine extravagances, such as shopping, for instance. Near her chair stands her embroidery frame, the needle sticking there as if she had just laid down her work, and against the wall leans her guitar. -..f
 Indeed, this was a fanciful idea, and the visitor said that as a child he always entered this room with feel ings of respect and awe for Mrs. King and readily paid the coming out fee" " a kiss for the lady. which he always exacted from the privileged few who were allowed to enter this sanctum of the imagination.-Chica Record-Her- ald

In 1893 a book of 158 pages, called "In Praise of Bishop Valentino" was printed in London, filled with poems to St. Valentine.

A collection of the newspaper and magazine verse printed each year in America alone would fill volume of the size mentioned.

Patriotism ln the Makina.

Patriotism in New York is cosmopol- ltan. They have a flag drill in the schools in which the children of every race and cline. as the hymn book says, are taught to salute the stars and stripes and give their heads, their hands and their hearts to their country" And in some of the big downtown schools you may see chil- dren from homes German, Italian, Syrian, Scandinavian, Jewish, Hunga- rian, Chinese, Armenian, Greek and heaven knows how many other nation alities all joining in this picturesque ceremony. It gives one a realizing sense of the variety of material which it put into this crucible we call city and which in another generation or two will be simply American.-Boston Transcript.
