Trick With DOminOs

Many seemingly wonderful tricks are
founded on certain principles of mathe
MATES which the most unskilled per-
son can take advantage of in way
to convince others that he is gifted
with strange occult powers. For in
stance, You have your friend select
any domino he desires out of heap.
not letting you see it. You then tell
him to multiply either of the numbers
of spots on it by 5, then add Z, then
double this result and finally add the
second number of spots. You ask him
to tell you what the sum is. You then
subtract in your own mind ID from this
sum, and the remaining digits will
show the number of spots on the DOM
ino he selected.
Supposing he selects the domino with
the 3 and s on it. Following your di-
rections. he multiplies the by 5, max
ing Is; adds Z. making %; doubles the
result, making A; adds the other num-
ber 60, and tells you that the sum is
80. You then subtract ii from the so,
leaving So, and the two digits, 8 and 6,
show the spots on the domino. Learn
this formula and you will have some
thing good to mystify your friends
with.

Ruth

She stood breast high amid the corn.
Claspd by the golden light of morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun.
Who many glowing kiss had won.
On her cheek an autumn flush.
Deeply ripend: such blush
In the midst OF brown was born,
Like red poppies grown with corn.
Round her eyes her. tresses fell.
Which were blackest none could tell,
But long lashes veird a light
That had else been all too bright.
And her hat. with shady brim.
Made her tressy forehead dim;
Thus she stood amid the stocks.
Praising God with sweetest looks.
Sure 1 said. ''Heav'n did not mean
Where 1 reap thou shOuldst but CLEAN;
Lay thy sheaf adown and come,
Share my harvest and my home.
Thomas Hood.

Moral From a Toad

One day a gardener was digging up
the dying geraniums in order to plant
the tulip bulbs before the frost set in,
when his shovel hit on something
harder than the moist earth, and to his
surprise he saw two huge toads at his
feet. One of the toads had evidently
been hurt by his shovel. for he had
difficulty in moving, while the other
hoped along at a lively rate
The gardener had time TO spare. so he
leaned on his shovel and watched the
little creatures. Back came the we'll
toad to where the other sat, and with
painful hop the hurt toad was on the
back of the well one and was taken to
a place of safety by him. The man
continued his work put every now
and then he thought of the kindness of
one toad toward thu other and he
wondered how the little disabled one
was The next day his wonderings
ceased, for he found the little toad
lying dead in the path. The other one
had disappeared mysteriously and the
gardener never saw it again, but he
remembered his humane feeling toward
an unfortunate fellow creature.

The Tenpenny Games

Place two rows OF chairs. facing each
other. down the middle of the room.
FIVE on each side. At each end of the
chairs place small table. and on the
table at the top of the rows put 10
pennies. Each chair should be Occu-
pied by a child. making 10 in all. and
each side takes five pennies. keeping
them on their side of the table; every
alternate child must hold out his hands
close together ready for the penny TO
be dropped into; then those sitting al
the top Of the table al each side
start sending their pennies to the other
end. They are picked up one at a
time, and put first into the hands of
the person next TO the one at the end
of the row. from whose hands it is
picked out by the third person. They
then drop it into the next hand. and
so on until il reaches the end of the
row. and it is then put on the end
table. The rest of the penries should
have been sent down meanwhile. one
after the other. as quickly as possible.
As soon as the fifth penny reaches the
bottom table it is sent back in the
same way as it went down, with the
other four pennies after 1t: the object
of the game is to do this as quickly as
possible. for the side which gets all
their pennies back to the top table first
wins the game. The couples facing
each other should take 1t in turns to
sit at the top OF the table.

Coaxing Grandma

There never was a grandma half so
good!''
He whispered while beside her chair he
stood.
And laid his rosy cheek.
With manner very meek.
Against her dear old face in loving
mood.
There never was nicer grandma
born;
know some little boys must be for
lorn,
Because they've none like you.
I wonder what I'd do
Without a grandma's kisses night and
NORM"
"There never was Il dearer grandma,
there!''
He kissed her and he smoothed her
snow white hair;
Then fixed her ruff1ed cap,
And nestled in her lap,
While grandma. smiling. rocked her
old armchair.
When I'm a man w.lat things to you
I'll bring;
horse and carriage and watch
and ring.
All grandmas are so nice"
(Just here he kissed her twice..
And grandmas give a good boy every
thing"
Before his dear Old grandma could
reply
This boy looked up, and with rougish
eye
Then whispered In her ear
That nobody might hear:
Say, grandma, have you any more
mince piei"

Pushball on Horseback

PushbaI on horseback" is new
game which was in high favor at the
royal military tournament held in Eng
land recently. The game was played
withs an enormous ball by troopers OF
the Royal Horse Guards splendidly
mounted on black horses, three mount
ed men on each side. of the ball. The
game consists in the horses pushing
the ball about with chests and knees.
but the Interesting feature OF the game
Is the admirable horsemanship Of the
participants which has room for fine
play. After a time the horses enter
into the sport with great zest and ap-
pear to enjoy it as much as the men,
The game originated with circus in
Germany. The ball, which is four feet
in diameter, is covered with leather
and inflated like a football.

No, Thank You, Tom

They met when they were girl and boy,
Going TO school one day.
And. Won't you take my pegtop, dear?''
Was all that he could say.
She bit her little pinafore
Close to his side she came;
She whispered, No, no, thank you,
Tom
But she took it all the same
They met one day. the selfsame way,
When ten swift years had flown;
He said, I've nothing but my heart,
But that is yours alone.
And won't you take my heart?" he
said,
And called her by her name
She blushed, and said, NO, thank you.
Tom,
But took it all the same.
And twenty, thirty, forty years
Have brought them care and joy;
She has the little pegtQp still
He gave her when boy.
I've had no wealth, sweet wife, said
he;
i've never brought you fame;
She whispers, NO, no, thank you, Tom,
You've loved me all the same

The method employed by nature to
feed the countless millions Of fishes
that make up her great ocean popula-
tion affords most interesting study.
The realms Of King Neptune are vast
and expansive and only the sea firing
ing coast lines are fertile grounds for
foods for fishes GrOwths Of weeds
and plant life, decaying vegetable mat
err etc, are easily available there, and
small fish thriving on such edibles
afford in their turn delectable trifies
for larger hsh. If fish were only found
near coast lines the supply Of their
foodstuffs would be no matter for
argument, but this is net so
AIidOcean is devoid Of surface vege-
table food. and except in very few
spots no such things as floating weeds
are ever seen. Water taken from the

HOW FISH LIVE IN f1IDOCEAN

of fish wend their way to different coast
lines and arrive there fat and oily
looking What have they lived on dur
ing their last voyage2 Smaller FISH
encountered on their way would never
have satisfied a decimal point OF their
numbers. How has nature nourished-
aye and fattened-this tremendous
army?
The explanation is a very simple one.
Microscopic creatures peryade every
drop Of surface water in the ocean.
They are as innumerable as the notes
in the air, and for the purposes of
herring and such like fish the pres
ence of the microscopic creatures turns
the surface sea water into a species
of nutritious soup, affording a food
exactly suitable TO their needs.
Larger fish are easily supported by
the life in the surface sea water. In
some parts of the Atlantic so much Of
this life is observed that the sea water
appears discolored.
Now. what are these microscopic
creatures and whence do they come
They are curious specimens of life
some are water fieas, others possess
shells like miniature oysters, others
again resemble microscopic cyclops of
our pools. Their rate of multiplica-

ROOster

Rooster is an old fashioned catch
game that may be new to children of
this generation. When all are seated
in a ring an older person announces
that they are going to play menagerie.
The master Of ceremonies then goes
from one guest to another. presumably
whispering the name of the animal
each is to represent Instead. he whis-
pers confdentially to all but one to
keep quiet" To the one selected to
be the victim he whispers Rooster"
and tells him that when the signal is
given he must crow long and loud.
Then the leader announces that when
he counts three every one must give
the imitation as directed "One. two
three and chanticleer alone gives his
clarion crow. In allOtting this charac-
ter one should be careful not to give il
to a very timid child or one who can
not take a joke.
