street was comparatively deserted. for
when cowboys were in town 1t was
customary for the inhabitants to be-

from its significant position on his hip.

"Huh!' drawled another cowboy

MINDS OF CHILDREN.
Should Be Nodded When They Are In
the Plastic state.

To many thoughtful minds the most
vital problem in the world today is
the moral education of the child. Pro-
fessor Newton \. Riddell and many
others have employed mental sugges-
ton with remarkable success in char
acter building. A brief outline of the
method may prove helpful.
First win the child's love and conf
dence. Explain to 1t that you wish to
help 1t develop a beautiful character.
Every morning have it repeat after
you these or similar words: This
day. God helping me. l will be kind.

experience proves that they will nj
most invariably become controlling
factors in its character, says Frank VI.
Craig in the New York American.
Teach the child the laws of personal
purity. Above all. eXemplify In your
life what you would have the child be-
come.
When the little mind is forming be-
meath the mothers heart then is her
golden opportunity to mold it as she
will.

GAME OF BADMlNT0N.
Shuttlecocks Used Instead Of Balls, but
Rules of Tennis Are Followed.

This play is a mixture of tennis and
b%attledore and may be played in a
court or hall. out of doors or in OF on
a tennis court. 1t is played with Il
tennis net or one even smaller than
that which does not quite reach the
ground. S~huttlecocks are used instead
of balls.
The rules of tennis are followed,
with slight changes owing TO the char
acter of .he shuttleeock. which does
not bounce like the tennis ball. All
the hits must he made on the fly. The
player must not touch the net either
with racket or clothing. nor must he
touch the shuttlecock with his hands
after the first service. The points are
counted just as in tennis.

~ you may guess by the name. this
game is 10 be played out of doors. 1t
is splendid to play on a nutting trip.
but it could also be played in the city.
where there are SO many good places
TO hide. The eight or ten players are
divided into two sides. each with a
leader. One side pretends TO be squir-
rels and its leader the guardian. The
other players are hunters. with one
player as guide. While the hunters
are all walking TO a certain place de
cided upon mt the beginning of the
game. the squirrel guardian hides all
of the squirrel players in n place.
He agrees with them TO mention some
particular nut, such as chestnut or
beechnut. as a signal to them that the
hunters are approaching very close.
He agrees to call other nut names, but
they will be said only TO deceive the
hunters, who think that each nut anne
might be the one to warn the squirrels.
When the hunters return from the
walk they start TO huht the squii
rels. They mus. all keep in Il straight
line. for those who do not are taken
out Of the game by the squirrel guard
ian. When the hunters are very near
the squirrels the guardian gives the
signal to prepare the squirrels to run.
Neither side may start back to base,
though. until the guard calls. Bush

game. The second player reaching

Lunt the hunters must search for the
squirrels where their guide directs.

WHEN A CAT TURNS OVER.
Anent the Saying That the Feline Al
ways Alights on Its Feet.

II is n common saying hat IL a cat
is dropped in any way whatever it
will always alisht on its feet. Since
a man cannot lift himself by his boot
straps or n boat cannot propel itself
through the water except by pressing
against the water in some way. one
may well wonder whether this is not
one OF the common sayings which are
fallacious. The general principles in
volyed are of such interest that the
question was taken up a few years
ago for consideration Mt a session Of
a French scientific society. Forest Ray
Moulton of the University Of Chicago
In Popular Mechanics says:
at is n fact that it is dynamically
possible for n eat to turn over no mat
ter how dropped. and experiments have
shown that they actually do it. If a
%balioonist or air man should fall from
a great height and should find that he
were descending so as to strike on his
head he could turn himself over so as
to strike upon his feet if he knew the
proper means Of accomplishing 1t. But
tie distance he would have to fall in
order TO have time to turn over would
be so great that he could have only an
academic interest in striking on his
feet rather than on his head. for the
final result to him would be the same
In either case" Professor Moulton
shows how the principle may be APP
pied in theory to the earth in order
TO work changes in climate.
