Cotton Ball Game.

This amusing game is played by max
ing large light ball Of cotton batting;
just as light and fluffy as it can be to
hold together. Divide the company into
two parties and stand them on oppo-
site sides Of a string stretched across
the room about five feet from the floor.
Toss the cotton ball into the air, then
each side tries to keep it up and blows
it back and forth over the string, like
a tennis ball. no one being allowed to
touch it with the hands. If it falls on
the floor the party upon whose side it
falls are the losers. The side who can
keep 1t up the longest or prevent it
from falling on their side Of the string
are the winners.
This play has been done with soap
bubbles or a small fluffy feather in
stead of the cotton ball, and either will
answer the purpose equally we'll

A World Famed Tree.

In the botanical gardens Of Calcut-
ia is the famous banyan tree. It COW
ers two and a half acres Of ground and
fills the visitor with admiration and
awe. The utmost care Is taken Of this
wonderful tree, for every tender young
root as it begins to fall like stalac-
tite from the branch overhead Is IL
cased and protected from harm in
bamboo. 1t is hoped that this particu
lar tree, nursed and nurtured like
baby. will within the next fifty years
cover at least fifteen acres of ground.
1t is supposed to have / 800 aerial roots
a number from which it is probable
that a cipher has been accidentally
omitted The mother trunk is an al
most shapeless mass by this time and
contributes very little to the susie
nance of it's multitudinous progeny
The banyan tree f1ourishes in India as
in no other part Of the world, although
1t does reach an enormous size, with
hundreds of roots, in some other lands

CARE OF R0ADSIDES IS
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR.
Remove All Rubbish to Make HIGHWAY
Attractive.

No matter how smooth and we'll con-
structed the travelled road may be, if
the rOadsides are not cared for the
highway as whole will not give a
good impression. All rubbish should
be removed, the excavations should be
filed and embankments smoothed and
planted with grass wherever it will
grow. Unsightly brush should be cut
and grubbed out. Sometimes, however,
the brush and small trees if suitably
trimmed add to the attractiveness of
the roadside.
All trees which are ornamental or
which have value as shade trees should
be preserved and protected unless they
grow so close together as to make a
dense shade. In hot, dry climates par
ticularly and indeed in most places
trees are considerable factor in re-
ducing the cost of maintenance since
they lessen the evaporation of the
moisture from the macadam. In ex-
posed places. where the sweep Of the
wind would be otherwise unbroken,
they serve to prevent in measure the
blowing away Of the binder from the
road surface. Unfortunately in such
places it Is often difficult to make trees
grow. Care in the selection of the
kinds Of trees best suited to the locan-
ty Is important.

MINNESOTA HAS A GOOD PLAN

County Share Road Expense.
The Minnesota state highway COM
mission has taken favorable action to-
ward building several trunk highways,
connecting Duluth with Minneapolis,
st. Vincent, Manitoba and other points.
The road from Duluth to st. Vincent
will in time be extended to Winnipeg
by the Canadian government. With
the road to st. Paul it will furnish
tourists with a road many hundreds Of
miles long on which automobiling may
be enjoyed under the most favorable
circumstances.
OF what material these roads will be
built, whether of macadam, brick or
gravel. has not yet been decided. but
the fact that residents of the counties
in both the country and small towns
are willing to bear their share Of the
expense of construction and mainte-
nance was brought before the commits
sion by the many signers to the petit
ton presented.
The roads will be built under the FL
well bill, which provides that the state
shall pay one-half Of the expense Of
the road in ten annual installments.

Two Views of the Same Question.

A noted bishop in order to point
lesson in humility sometimes tells
story Of a young clergyman whose
first appointment was to be an out of
the way and poor parish.
On his first Sunday In this new sta
ton the young man as he looked over
his wretchedly clad and ignorant con-
gregation could not help saying to
himself, with groan:
Dear me, what a dreadful thing It
would be If / should have to stay here
any great length of time!"
At the end Of the sermon a deacon
made prayer. To the young mans
horror one part Of the prayer was
benevolent hope that this ignorant,
inexperienced. barren pastor that had
lately come to the parish might i'm
prove and grow learned and fruitful
In good WORKS. so that he would come
TO merit being kept on there for
awhile"

be two columns Of girls. They must
be even on both sides. The leader of
each line holds a ball. When the lead
er says Get readyy' each must hold
her hands up. ready to start the game.
Then when she says, Zone, two, three,
goy' the girl at the head must pass the
ball down the column as fast as posi-
ble Every girl must touch it or it
counts a foul When it comes to the
last girl she runs up the line, toes it

side. Even though one line finishes
first, but has the most fouls, it loses

sion the roads designated as state
roads in five years will, it is claimed

highways in the entire country.
The Dunn good roads bill, passed at

vides for a constitutional amendment
levying a quarter mill tax for the
building, repair and improvement Of
the roads and that the state share
equally with the county the expense Of
all state roads. Any public thorough
fare can be designated as a state road,

forth must be improved changed and

good roads system rests with the i'm
provement Of the dirt roads of the
state and not in the construction Of
macadamized highways.
These roads may be improved by
cutting down the hills, removing the
sod, clearing out the bitches, rounding,
grading, surfacing and dragging after
every rain so that they will serve ev-
cry purpose for which the highways
will be used and at a lesser expense

VICTORIA says q writer. iii IL stored
away In strong room built into the
walls Of buckingham palace, and the
queen shared her confidence with NO

able to do so she opened and closed
the safe herself and arranged its con

this she employed an old and trusted
secretary. but even he had to work
under the royal eye. He was never al
lowed to keep the keys nor to read the
letters that he handled.
Queen Victoria was always a volu-
