When Boys Get Together

Hunt the Boy" This is a good game
for boys when they get together. and
is played as follows: The boy familiar
with the game goes into room alone.
taking with him IS beans, some or all
of which he hides in various places.
Each bean is marked with one of the
letters in the title Little Boy Blue"
When ready he tells how many beans
are hidden and gives the signal "hunt
the boy" The hunters do not know
what the beans spell; as they are found
they are placed on table and the boy
finding the last bean has the first
chance to try to form the title The
only clew given is that it is the title
to Mother Goose rhyme" Each boy
is allowed five minutes in which to
try for the title, and the one who
spells it wins a prize.
Another decidedly amusing contest
that takes but little time to prepare is
as follows: Count the number of boys
present. and for each one prepare
piece of paper five by six inches. Then
draw crooked line an inch or two long
on one piece of paper. put this against
the window pane and trace this same
line on the other pieces of paper so
that all will be alike. Give each boy
one of the papers. a pencil and book to
draw on. Then ask them to compose a
picture from that crooked line and
the one presenting the best picture gets
the first prize and the one having the
worst gets the BOBBY prize. Have a
time limit of 10 minutes. When the
time is up have each boy sign his name
and hand in the papers, then award
the prizes

Mark Twain and Fourth of july

Many years ago, when Mark Twain
was not as well known as he is today.
he found himself at a fourth of July
celebration in New England city 1t

celebration had been adjourned from
the square to the largest hall in town.
The day was so hot that the audience
could scarcely breathe, the rain having
had the effect of raising the tempera-
ture to the boiling, sitting point Sud
denly quiet man. a stranger with a
peculiar drawl, startled every one by
exclaiming:

speaker"

That is an absurd question: declared
the speaker. pompously. Lincoln said

Never mind that" insisted Mark
Twain. Tell me what he said In 1892
At this juncture the audience began
to show signs of. displeasure, but the
quiet man with the peculiar drawl
proved irrepressible. II again de-

This was too much for the New Eng

The Trolley Imps

What makes the trolley cars run so
fast?
Now wouldn't you like to know?
You can't see push, you can't see a
pull,
But. gracious! how fast they go.
There are wee little men. as yellow as
gold,
That ride on the wheels below;
And each gives a push, a pull and a
shove
Till they make the trolley cars go.
These wee little men are smart little
men,
And as they ride to and fro
They hide from the light and keep out
of sight.
But they make the trolley cars go.
They ride in the night and ride in the
day,
And even in the sleet and snow;
They're hiding away, jolly and gay,
Making the trolley cars go.
In Electric Land these little men dwell !;
They have eyes of fire, you know:
And. If you're quick, you will see them
dance
AS they make the trolley cars go.

the pearl oyster was suggested. and
met with instant favor. Experiments
were carried out with great success.
tho result being that to-day the pearl
oyster farm has millions of pearl oys-
ters on its culture ground, and is able
to place annually a large crop Of pearls
on the market.
This pearl oyster farm is In the bay
of Ago, on the Pacific side of Japan.
The bay, like all in which the oys-
ter grows in abundance, is very quiet
piece of water with a most irregular.
highly broken up coast line full of
deep running inlets and coyes, affording
most favorable shelter. The farm is
arranged in two parts, the first part
containing the young UP to the age of
3 years, and the second part holding
those that are over that age.
The breeding season of the oyster is
from July to August, and before this
comes round, namely, in May to June,
stones are placed over the bottom of
the grounds in the shallower parts, in
order that the young may attach them
selves to them, and by August the tiny
shells are discovered attached to these
stones by their byssus, the number in
creasing steadily with the season.
The shells are allowed to lie as they
are until November, and then those that
are near the shore are removed, with
the stones on which they are anchored,
into depths greater than five to six
feet. This is necessary to protect them
from cold, from the effects of which
they are apt to die in the course of
the winter If left in the original places.
The young shells are then left quietly
and allowed to grow for three years, or
removed to deeper water, where they
have more space and find more food.
At the end of three years, when the
young oysters are from two TO three
inches long, they are taken out of the
water, and the operation of putting nu-
cIei in the shells is performed, after
which they are again put back into
the sea and spread out at the rate of
about 80 to every six square feet. They
are left alone for four years more, and
at the end of that time, or seven and
a half years from the beginning Of
their life, they are taken out of the
water and opened.
There are many enemies of the pearl
oyster They are attacked by a small
worm, which eats their shells, are eaten
by octopuses, and are enveloped by
growing sponges. which kill them.

The Travellers Return

Sweet to the morning traveller
The song amid the sky,
Where, twinkling In the dewy light,
The skylark scars on high.
And cheering to the traveller
The gales that round him play.
When faint and heavily he drags
Along his noontide way.
And when beneath tn unclouded sun
Full wearily tolls he,
The flowing water makes to him
A soothing melody.
And when the evening light decays
And all is calm around.
There is sweet music to his ear
In the distant sheep BELLS sound.
But, OH of all delightful sounds
OF evening or of morn,
The sweetest is the voice of love
That welcomes his return.
Robert Southey.

GOOD STORIES
A Dangerous 'Stowaway'

In February of last year the Ma
toppo a British ship, sailed from CAL
cutta with a load OF rails for the
Trans Siberian railway 1t unloaded at
Dalny and on it's return trip, on the
third night out a strange stowaway
was discovered.
A number of chickens, kept in a
coop on the poop deck, were found
slaughtered one morning. The next
night a sheep was killed and half de-
voured. A watch was then kept and
1t was discovered that a Manchurian
tiger was on board the ship. The
creature had stolen on board at Dalay,
secreted itself, and. driven on deck by
hunger, had committed the depreda-
tions.
In spite of strict lookout, no near
view of the animal could be obtained.
A daylight search failed to reveal lts
hiding place Once or twice the crew
caught sight of two green eyes glar-
ing out of the darkness. but they van-
ished before a gun could be brought
to the shoulder.
The thefts went on. Then, one night,
a Chinese fireman, crossing the deck,
was badly scared by the sudden ap-
pearance of the animal. The captain
decided that something must be done.
Another hunt was organized. The first,
second and third officers were armed,
and the crew provided with clubs to
beat up the game. 1t was night when
the creature was finally discovered be-
hind some odds and ends in the space
under the poop deck.
The second officer was the first to see
the tiger. Two blazing eyes were
turned In his DIRECTION and the lefflcer
fired. There was cry from the animal.
and the 1.-THE body was launched full at
its would be slayer. The officer fired
again, and then, as he half turned to
avoid the springing animal, 1t struck
him full on the shoulder, bounded
through the door leading to the deck
and 1eaped into the sea-
1T was very interesting" said the
second officer coolly but we were all
disappointed because we lost the skin"

1t is IS feet long by 25 feet WIDE and
81 feet high. The walls are OF beautiful
granite. which has been handsomely pQh
