Game Of Coekfiohtinu,

This Is a most amusing game, and.
although only two boys can play at it
at one time, they will keep the rest Of
the company in roars Of laughter. The
two who are to represent the cocks"
having been chosen, they are both
seated upon the floor.
Each boy has his wrists tied together
with handkerchief and his legs Sc
cured Just above the ankles with an
other handkerchief. His arms are then
passed over his knees, and broom
stick Is pushed over one arm, under
both knees and out again on the other
side over the other arm. The cocks"
are now considered ready for fighting
and are carried into the center of the
room and placed opposite each other,
with their toes just touching. The fun
now commences.
Each "cock" tries with the aid of his
toes to turn his opponent over on his
back or side.
The one who can succeed in doing
this first wins the game.
1t often happens that both cocks"
turn over at the same time, when the
fight commences again.

A Cuean Elizabeth Joke.

Queen Elizabeth liked her jokes, and.
although her pleasantries were Of q
less sanguinary turn than her fathers.
she must have been even more for
midable than usual when disposed to
be frolicsome. A tale may be found
in one Of Ford Essex's letters with
regard to a new dress belonging to one
Of her maids Of honor, over the pos
session Of which the owner had been
rash enough to exhibit some elation.
The young lady, It seems, was several
inches taller than her majesty, hardly
perhaps quite nice or loyal thing to
be. Having desired that the dress
should be made over to her custody,
the queen, first carefully selecting an
extremely wet day, was pleased to put
1t on and trail II for yards behind her
in the mud, the owner Of the hui
inflated garment having to appear as
delighted with the royal fun and con-
descension as the rest of the lockers

An American Joke From ENGLAND.

The typical American. says con-
tributor to the English Illustrated
Magazine, although partial to making
jokes, is often quick tempered and un-
able to recognize joke made by an
other, with results that are sometimes
unpleasant.
Thus. a senator was once ut fash
ionable dinner party at Washington
when he was asked what fish he would
take.
"Waal." he said, Il reckon I'll take
plaice."
A wit who CHANGED to be present re-
marked. with twinkle in his eye,
"Ah, senator, still n place seeker?"
"Yaas." answered the senator, at the
same time whipping out revolver
and shooting the wit dead, "but what's
that to you, you dern'd stranger"
Afterward, when the joke was ex-
planned to him, the senator confessed
that he had acted rather hastily, and
to show that he bore no grudge he
went to the funeral Of the inOpportune
wit,

FOR THE CHILDREN
To Brinq Water From a Dry Knife

Pass an ordinary knife for examina-
ton and then tell the audience that
by sheer strength OF your wrist you
will cause a stream Of water to flow
from the blade.
Having received the knife back, with
the assurance that 1t is entirely devoid
Of preparation. you proceed to squeeze
the handle until the water Is seen to
be trickling down the blade.
Previous to performing this startling
trick sheet Of tissue paper or little
cotton must be thoroughly soaked in
water, and then this small wad of
wet material must be secreted behind
your ear
Directly the knife has been returned
to you 1t must be grasped In the hand
while your arm is crooked upward so
that your hand containing the knife
rests upon your ear, and you then re-
quest anybody to place their first I'm
ger upon the joint Of your elbow.
This peculiar request effectually
masks the operation Of securing the
wad of paper or cotton. Therefore all
that remains to he done Is to squeeze
the wet out, allowing 1t to trickle
down the knife. afterward secretly Slip
ping the paper into your pocket while
the spectators are examining the
knife.
