DISCIPLINE AT ANNAPOLIS

II S in all schools. various infractions
Hof regulations in the performance
of youthful pranks are not uncommon
at the United States naval academy
at Annapolis. but there are two offenses
which are there regarded. not only by
the authorities but by the midshipmen
themselves. as heinous and unpardon-
able. These are lying and -'gouging. =
the latter consisting of taking unfair
advantage, or cheating, upon an ex-
animation.
The discipline at the academy is
strict, as becomes a military school, and
the authorities are energetic in enforc-
ing the regulations. Every offender
against the rules is punished by being
given demerits, or extra duties, or de-
prived of his leave, or even put in con-
finement upon the prison ship Santee
but for lying or gouging. dismissal is
the sole penalty.
Unlike the other offenses. these two
are generally left by the authorities to
the midshipmen themselves for detec-
ton and disposition. If a midshipman
lies, his schoolmates, even his class
mates. are the first to arraign him. A
class meeting is called, the accused put

are some that you may play with weeds

A Ticklish Trick

The feat known as the bag and spear
trick has been considered one of the
greatest of the Hindu magician's art.
In this trick the Hindu fakir has his
assistant in a sack, the mouth of which
he firmly secures, and then unceremo-
niously hurls his helpless victim to the
ground Without sign of warning
the fakir drives his spear through the
center of the bag.
After withdrawing his weapon the
fakir stands and gazes dreamily over
the heads of the spectators. The body
within the bag founders about as if in
mortal agony At last, when the occu-
pant is apparently dead, the fakir
again plunges his spear into the mo-
tionless body. The same antics are
repeated. Then the fakir releases his
attendant. uninjured from the bag.
Although the trick is performed with
al the carelessness ina ginable it
calls. for more patience, skill and ex-
actness than any of the so called black
art achievements. From the time the
attendant enters the bag both faIxir
and assistant count every breath they
take. When stated number of
breaths have been taken the falxir
makes his thrust and the occupant of
the bag is prepared to avoid it. Then
the count begins again and at the
proper time the spear is driven through
the bag a second time. In order to
evade the spear and make it appear TO
pass through his body the assistant
doubles up in as small a form as pos
sible. His legs are drawn up close.
with the chin resting upon the knees
and the arms folded round the lower
limbs across the shins. When in this
position, at the iiftieth breath the spear
passes under the attendants arms
The slightest characterization bv
either the fakir or his assistant would
mean a serious If not a mortal wound
for one and an unheard of disgrace for
the other.
The fakir and his attendant are able
to time themselves to breathe in per
feet unison.

years old. Now, let's see which will
grow up fastesti
See which will get up to 10 first
Hold your three little sisters in your
hand so that your opponent can not
see their length. Each must be lit
tie longer than the other and your OPP
ponent Will have to guess which is
which.
If he guesses rightly he wins the
number that he guesses, but he gives
you back the little sister and you keep
that grass still in your hand and guess,
now that it is your turn, from him. IL
you guess that the second grass blade
in his hand is big, you win five, but
II you are wrong your opponent keeps
the number you have guessed.
The first to reach 10 in the count
wins and grows up first.
Any other number will-do quite as
well as 10 If players are careful to
keep their count right
Besides these two games there is
one that you may play with leaves.
1t is called
SUNLIGHT AND SHADOW
This is the way to play it: First find
FIVE pretty leaves of a certain kind of
tree. Your opponent must have diff
ferent kind of leaf from yours, and
only two can play the game at a time
together.
Now that you have your five pretty
leaves place them in your lap. One
player losses up his leaf. He has
chosen to be Sunlight and you have
chosen to represent Shadow" So his
leaf must fall with it's top toward the
sunlight and your leaf must fall when
tossed with its upper part toward the
ground, where shadow lies.
In turn you each play. When your
opponents leaf falls with its upper
part toward the ground it belongs to
Shadow and it is yours. When it falls
as it ought, with the upper part toward
the sunlight, it remains his and he
keeps-it to play with again.
The one who wins all the leaves from
the other player is the successful win
ner of the game of sunlight and
shadow.
Try these little games some sunny
summer day when the sky is very blue
and it is too warm to run about much.
You will find that the games that you
make yourself from flowers and grass
and leaves are quite as much fun as
the games that you buy in stores and
play indoors in the winter time.

Checks as soft as July peaches.
Lips whose dewy scarlet teaches
Poppies' paieness; round large eyes
Ever great with new surprise.
Minutes filed with shadeless gladness.
Minutes just as hrimmed with sadness.
Happy smiles AID wailing cries.
Crows and laughs and fearful eyes.
Lights and shadows swifter form
Than on wild swept autumn corn,
over some new tiny notion
Making every limb all motion
Catching up of legs and arms
Throwings back and small alarms
Clutching s--straightening Jerks
1'winins feet whose each toe works.
Kickings up and Straining risings
Mothers ever new surprisings.
