Call That Jack Welcomed.

A man-o'-warsman, on visit to his
native city Of Liverpool, gave an anus
ing instance Of the readiness and re-
source of naval seamen. He had made
an arrangement at Portsmouth to meet
chum from his own ship, but he had
forgotten the number CT the house, and
he did not care to knock at every door
until he came to the right one.- A rag
and-bone man with a bugle passed
along. Jack seized the bugle.
I'm looking for chum," he ex-
planned.
Then he blew the grog call OF the
navy. AS the last note died away a
window was hastily flung up and sail
or's head was thrust out.
"Ah," said Jack, as he handed back
the bugle, Il knew I'd find him. He's
never missed that call yeti"
And few minutes later the sought
for tar explained sorrowfully to his
chum:-
you've given me away all right!
I'm courtin' the gal there, and told
them that / was teetotaller; but her
father Is an old salt and knows the

Ball In Box Frame.

confined to the whiting of . stick,
cases of it we're isolated to few who
apparently meditated while they sent
tiny chips futtering over the ground,
but one day a regular park devotee re-
marked that he could whittle a ball In
box frame. He was called upon to
prove his ability to do SO, and no
sooner had he done so than his admir-
ing associates tried to manufacture
others like it. The eagerness Of chill
dren to possess such a unique toy add
ed an incentive to the fascination of
whiting, and soon so many whittlers
were in evidence that curiosity con-
corning them created comment, which
led to investigation. A stroll through
the park the other day revealed 81
gentlemen engaged in whiting ball
in-a-frame"
One OF fine whittlers declared 1t was
IAN off afternoon" if only 81 whittlers
were found, as several punches OF
boys" found hours of amusement in
the pastime. ;.
What do you get out of it," he was
asked.
"Just the satisfaction of making it,
he smilingly answered.
The illustration shows the method
of cutting the ball, and also the toy
when finished.

NEAT TRICK WITH MATCHES
Much Amusement May Be Had With
Little Game When Young Folks
Cannot Get Outdoors.

Have say 100 matches. Lay them
on the table and agree with some one
to take alternately from the heap any
number not exceeding ten, and wager
that the last match will come to you.
Then remember the numbers /, IL, %,
81, and SO on, increasing by II each
time. Supposing you have the first
draw, you take one match only, and
your opponent can never have a
chance. for il he draws as many as
possible the first time (1O) you take
one more and make the total IL. Say
he then draws 8. and you will imedi-
ately draw 3. When you have got SO
you will see that the other player has
no chance. Should your opponent in
sist on having the first draw he will
make it possible for you to attain one
OF the numbers, IL. %, "a. etc. Then
the game is yours.
A great deal Of amusement may be
had over the match trick during rainy
evenings when the young folks cannot
get out of doors to enjoy games in the
open.

Real Test.

There is something finer than to
do right against inclination, and that
is to have an inclination to do right.
There is something nobler than re-
luctant obedience, and that is joyful
obedience. The rank Of virtue is not
measured by it's disagreeableness, but
by its sweetness to the heart that
loves it. The real test of character
is Joy. For what you rejoice in, that
you love. And what you love. that
you are like.-Henry van Dyke.
