Two Merry Games.

Anyone under thirty enjoys these
games. The first Is called Pass It"
At each end Of the drawing room have
an empty clothes basket and another
basket filled with articles of all sorts.
such as books. balls. pens. pencils.
shoe horn. bell. old hats, clothes
brush. nail brush. old doll-in fact.
anything that can be collected around
the house. Choose by lot or ballot two
captains. who then choose sides and
place their players in line 80 that they
face each other. A full basket IL
placed on the right Of each captain
and an empty one at the left of the
players at the end of each line. At a
signal from the one In charge each
captain selects an article from his bas-
ket and hands It to the next person.
who Immediately passes It az quickly
As possible to the person at his side.
In this manner the articles are picked
up and rapidly passed on. II an article
is dropped 1t has to go back to the
captain and be started over again.
The side which first lands everything
in the basket at the other end wins.
The prizes should be good things
among the articles passed. such as
boxes Of chocolate cigarettes. wee IA
vors like pencils. key rings. etc. It
may add to the interest of the game
to offer a prize to the player who can
remember the names Of the articles
passed and write them down on a slip
Of paper ten minutes after the game
has been played and the objects re-
moved from sight. The hostess, OF
course. must have correct list and
check of the articles. This makes
quite a memory test.
The next game is so old that It was
new to me. It is called Hop Over" !"
The players are asked to form a circle
about two feet apart from each other.
The leader stands In the middle. hold
ing a long. stout string to the end OF
which Is tied a small book wrapped in
paper. The person In the middle
whirls the book around the circle on
the floor. holding 1t by the string. and
each time coming nearer the feet OF
the players who form the ring. AS
the book comes nearer and nearer the
feet the players must jump over It.
AS the book is whirled very rapidly
the jumping becomes more lively and
makes loads OF fun. II the book
touches the foot of anyone that per-
son must take turn, in the middle
and try to touch the foot Of some one
who will take his turn. Just try this
and see how amusing 1t Ia.

According to the text, many and
varied accounts have been published
Of the life Of Mother Shipton. She
was the child Of an orphan girl named
Agatha Sontheil. who lived near
the dropping WELL Agatha was
born about 1472. or 20 years before
the discovery Of America. Her child
was misshapen. The date of her birth
is set at July. 1888. After the child's
birth-it was named Ursula-the
mother retired to a convent.

nose and goggling eyes.
Her mental powers were first no.
ticed by her ability as youthful
scholar. She was said also to have
had a peculiar power over her school
fellows, and ability to pull their hair,
pinch them and throw them to the
ground without being near them
Ursula was neither SO ugly in per-
son nor so uncanny in mind that she
could not find a husband, and when
"a years old she married one Toby
Shipton of Shipton, near York.
Thenceforth she was known as
Mother" Shipton. Her fame as a

Through frequent repetition in the
prints Of the present time, her prophe.

England. and did happen, such as the
accession of Queen Elizabeth and her
reign; the death of Mary queen of
Scots; the great plague of London,
and the great fire; the various wars
of three centuries; the destruction of
the Spanish armada; the reign of
James I; the gunpowder plot; the
union in marriage of the royal houses

bUAL-PURPOSE FOWL HOUSE
How to Construct Building for Keep
Ing More Than One Breed and
for Small Matinos.

In many cases where a person wish
es to keep more than one variety OF
fowls or have more than one mating
OF the same variety, 1t devolves upon
him to construct such buildings as
will best serve his purpose. If he
only wishes to make small matings
and has only a limited amount OF
space to devote to poultry. the con.
unuous breeding house will probably
appeal to him.
In house of this kind 1t Is found
advisable to construct 1t of such di-
mansions as will allow pens about
eight feet by eight feet and also have
an alley about four feet wide which
can be used with great convenience
for cleaning, feeding and watering,
says Farm, Stock and Home. Pens Of
this size will easily accommodate
about eight or ten females and one
male bird.
Each pen should also have a win.
dow Of fair dimensions facing the
south. Dropping boards, roosts and
nests should all be made movable SO
that they can be the more easily
cleaned and disinfected.
Good dimensions for such houses
will be found to be five feet from sill
to caves In the rear or north side and

tered If desired. The roof can be
made straight or broken, but the bro
ken style will be found to give the
best satisfaction. The front slant
should be about five feet from caves
to peak, which will leave about nine
feet for the rear slant on a building
twelve feet wide. Any material may
be used, but be sure that the roof is
alright as 1t will keep the building
warmer and also allow better work.

to get what one wants. However, the

ented or not.
If one has plenty of area In which to
raise poultry he may desire to have
colony houses instead of continuous
breeding house. In this case he will
use small movable houses, probably
about 10 by 10 In dimensions. There
will be no need of an alley In house
of this kind. This building should
accommodate from fifteen to twenty
hens on free range. These houses
may be placed at intervals on the
space devoted to poultry and this sys.
TEN is generally conceded to be most
successful.
OF course. one may construct the
interior Of these buildings to suit his
fancy, but he should always bear in
mind that at some time he will find 1t
most convenient to have as many
parts removable as is possible. The

cleats and the roosts on loose stand.

Guard AGAINST Lice.

Just before the chicks are dae to
arrive, give the hen a good busting
with insect powder, even if she seems
TO be free from lice. Let the chicks
stay in the nest with their mother
for at least thirty-six hours and then
place them in a suitable coop with
her. Provide the floor Of the coon
with chaff or fine straw for the babies
to walk on and scratch in. Give them
light feeds at first of water, fine grit
hard boiled eggs and dry bread
crumbs. Keep them dry and the hen
will keep them warm.
