Every lad knows how to play num-

Two or-three boys can best play to-

The game has sometimes twenty
four movements, and skilful players
can perform nearly all the different
feats, always gaining the two fingers.
which make a fair stick" Every
player In turn goes through as many
plays as he can till he completes the
circuit. The boy who loses used to
pay the penalty by pulling a two inch
peg out of the ground. THIS feature
has been completely dropped in recent
years and many Of the old movements
left out.
The game, however, has lost non OF
its interest, and good players r able
to stick the knife In the ground from
all difficult positions. These include
dropping the knife from different
parts OF the body and sometimes
throwing 1t over the head. Boys must
be careful when playing the game and
give the player plenty of room. All
boys are familiar with the different
feats they must perform with the
knife to win the game.

roMsIa For q Doll House.

Little housekeepers who have dolls
houses either for the paper dolls or for
the larger bisque beauties will find it
very easy to make sets Of towels to
go on the doll washstand and In the
bathroom. Plain dull white paper may
be used for the towels and the Dor
ders made Of colored crayon. When
the ends Of the towels are fringed and
they are folded and put on the towel
rack or across the top of the wash
stand 1t Is surprising how exactly like
towels they look.
II a little housekeeper is ambitious
she may make sets of napkins, table
cloths and doilies from the damask
paper, which may now be bought and
which looks exactly like the real dam
ask. Sheets may be made Of the
white paper, and counterpanes can
have borders of cut work embroidery.
This is made by folding the counter
pane in four parts and then cutting
the pattern through so that ft appears
uniform on the four parts. Pillows
and pillowcases may be made of the
paper and the pillowslips decorated
with the cutwork.

How Money Game TO Be Used.

ROW money Canc TO Be 0Seus
1t was somewhere between the
years $50 and 546 b. q. that money In
the form of gold and silver coins came
into use in Lydia, an ancient country
of Asia Minor. Croesus was the mon
arch who introduced the system of
coinage, gold being held as more VAL
liable in the proportion of three to
four. 1t is said that Darius of Per-
STA soon adopted the idea of such a
medium, as 1t simplified trade.
The Greeks issued their first metal
coin some time during the seventh
century B. O.. and the entire civilized
world had adopted the money system
in the fourth century B. G.. Up to
the death of Alexander the Greek
coins bore on them sacred subjects In
the form of some deity. Coins OF
Miletus bear a lion; thosesof Eretria
show a COW and a sucking calf; those
of Icus show a funny fish. All
these were symbols of goddesses. But
coins issued under the empire bear the
imperial bust on one side and some
sacred emblem on the other. Green
coins have been Of valuable assistance
to scholars in systematizing Greek
mythology.

PADDING Emhroidary.

Where heavy padding is desired I'M
der embroidery try using little wads
OF raw cotton instead Of filing In the
added space with many stitches of
darning thread.
TO pad a scallop catch up a bit of
raw cotton In your fingers and roll it
between the thumb and forefinger
until it is the length of the scallop,
thick in the center, but tapering to a
mere thread at each end. Lay this
on the scallop and with a few mate
rial. Embroider over it in the usual
way.
Flowers have their petals padded by
making little cushionlike wads of cot
ton and catching them down to the
material, well inside the working line,
uaHh ordinary sewing cotton.
Coin dots and ribbon designs are
treated accordingly.
