There were once three princesses
Their mother, the queen. was dead
and there was going to be new queen
Now, the question was. Who was Il
going to be?
Once the three princesses were sit
ting in the garden. The youngest one
whose name was Irene, said: II an
going to be queen. am smarter than
you are"
"No, am" said Miriam. 81 am
twice as smart as you. am older and
more able to rule the people than you
are"
The oldest one, Rosa, did not speak
thus. She said. 81 do not fight with
my sisters"
The king happened to pass by the
garden where they were sitting. He
said, Rosa, you are queen, because
you did not fight with your sisters"
And Rosa was the queen, and good
one at that.

The players kneel upon the ground
on one knee and rest their hands upon
the other knee, twiddllng their thumbs
all the time. The one at the head Of
the line asks the others:
Friends, did you hear Of Brother
Obadlah's death and how he died?"
The answer will be, mo; how did he
die?" Then the leader says, with
one finger up, with one eye shut and
with one shoulder awry." AS he
speaks he must suit his actions to his
words, and the company must follow
suit. Should any one fail 10 do so they
must pay forfeit.

Mrs. Delaney, so well known as an
eighteenth century parsonage had a
strange prescription for a cough mix
ture. Writing to a friend in January.
1853, she says: Does Mary cough in
the night? Two or three snails boiled
in her barley water or tea water or
whatever she drinks might be of great
service to her. Taken In time they
have done wonderful cures. She must
know nothing of it. They give 10
manner of taste. 1t would be best no
body should know of it but yourself,
and l should imagine six or eight boil
ed in a quart of water and strained off
and put in bottle would be a good
way, adding spoonful or two of that
to every liquid she takes. They must
be fresh done every two or three days,
otherwise they grow too thick \
strange remedy, and one wonders
whether Mary took it and benefited
by it.
