FOR THE CHILDREN
Soldiers and Sailors Game.

The players clasp hands, forming two rings about fifteen feet apart. One ring is composed of soldiers. while the oth- CT is made up of sailors. In the center of the soldiers ring there are three sailors standing as prisoners, while in the middle of the sailors ring there are three soldier captives. A soldier in the soldiers ring throws soft rubber ball over to one of the imprisoned soldiers In the sailors ring If captive sol dier catches it he returns it by throw Ing 1t back to the soldiers ring. Then the soldiers try to catch it rather than let one of the imprisoned sailors get the ball. for that keeps the power of the game in the hands of the soldiers, who throw 1t back to one of their men In the sailors ring. If an imprisoned man of either side catches the ball three times during the game he is con- sidered captured by his men. so may join their ranks in their circle This catching the ball three times is very hard, as the players in the ring into which the ball is thrown all try to get possession of the ball. They may drop hands and break circle as soon as they see the ball leave the pitchers hand. If, however. they do not protect the boundaries of their circle or allow a prisoner to escape. he may join his own men and be safe. The first circle capturing its men wins the game.

Aunt Dorcas' Rau Carpet.

The children stand in a ring, holding hands, with one in the center. who be- gins the game by giving the name of a different color to each player and then says: My Aunt Dorcas is making a rag carpet First she sewed red stripe and q brown stripe together"
 At this the two children to whom the colors red and brown" were given leave their places and try to run around the outside of the circle and regain their places before the one in side can break through and catch either of them. If they both succeed in get ting back the one inside the ring goes on with her story, saying. for instance, Next she sewed a green and orange stripe together" Without regard for color effects. instantly green" and ''Or- ange" leave their places and make the same attempt as did the first two run ners.

This is a game that most children under thirty seem to get very much fun out of. All the players stand in a ring about two feet apart from each other. except one. who takes the place in the middle. holding q long stout string. to the end of which is firmly tied a small book wrapped in paper Some other small object. not too heavy. would answer as well.
 The person in the center then whirls the book around near the floor, hold ing by the string and each time com ing closer to the feet of those stand ing in the circle. who as it hears them must jump up and let it pass under their feet. As the book is whirled more and more rapidly the jumping becomes quite lively, for if it touches the foot of any one that person must take his or her turn in the middle and try to hit the feet of some one else who is not sufficiently alert or active.

Mice are decidedly musical little creatures, not only occasionally sing ing themselves. but displaying great enjoyment in the performance of otb- CTS. One evening a gentleman who was playing on his flute saw mouse creep out of 8 hole and slowly ap- proach him. He stopped playing, and the mouse scuttled back to its hole. but when the air was repeated the little animal appeared as before. laying it. self down near the performer and shut ting its eyes in a kind of ecstasy. It fairly trembled with delight and for got everything else. but whenever the music ceased. which it did frequently. by way of experiment. it was the same ordinary frightened mouse, whose sole object in life was to get back to its hole.

 There is more chance for promo tion and certainly greater distinction in being a performer in the circus than in the chorus of musical show
 "Of course you know many of the foreign women are apprenticed in the circus work from youth, and trapeze performing and bareback riding are handed down from one generation to another
 'I admire the woman who is not afraid, and I advise some of the chorus girls who are ploddng along in musical comedy with small chance of ever getting an important part to give it up and take up the circus life
