Ramadan is the month exalted by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Koran-according to Mos

Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men III small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave of Hira, for
prayer and meditation, In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets

Some Good Games.

Here are some very old games. but
! am sure they will be brand new to
many of our young readers. The first
is called Catching the Snakes Tail"
and comes to us from Japan, where It
is a great favorite. The children form
in line. each with hands resting upon
the shoulders of the player in front.
The one who is to act as catcher"
is left out. The first child in the line
is called the head" and the last one
the tail" The catcher" is placed
about fifteen feet from the head"
and at signal he tries to catch the
tail" or the last child In the Snake"
without touching anyone else. The
others may defend the tail" by NOV
ing about, keeping the line unbroken,
for II the line should be broken It is
equal to the tail" being caught, and
that unlucky person must become the
catcher while the last named goes to
the head Of the line.
