Two captains are chosen, and each
captain then chooses alternately the
remaining company until two long
lines are formed. They face each 9TH
er, holding hands tightly. One cap
tain calls the name of one Of his
strongest boys, and this boy runs and
hurls himself between two boys of the
opposing side. II he succeeds in
breaking through, he takes back with
him to his own side all the boys on
the line below the place where he
broke through. II he is unsuccessful,
he must join the enemy's side. This
is kept up, each side taking turn un-
til all the boys are on one side, the
captain included.
The strongest boys should be sta
toned near the top of the line, near
the captain, and strategem is shown
in trying to catch the strong boys on
their guard, by pretending to tackle
the weak boys at the bottom of the
line.

WANT SAFETY FOR JEWELS
Theft Amounting to 100000 Has
Aroused the Anxiety of New
York Dealers.

New York.-As a result of the re-
cent 100000 gem robbery, the great.
est In many years, dealers in precious
stones here have been taking stock of
the defenses which safeguard the
$5OO,OOO,OOO worth of gems in the
Maiden lane district. In consequences
the public now has a better under
standing than ever before of the won
derful system which protects this
treasure against theft.
Each Maiden lane concern under
electrical protection is assigned box
In which is deposited a sealed en-
velope containing key to the Office
and the signature of those authorized
to open the safe. When an alarm ia
sounded and the key removed to gain
entrance to the Office record Is made
and the key is again sealed by the pro-
prietor or sole authorized agent.
A report is also submitted each
week showing when the signal for
opening and closing the safe was re-
ceived, with additional data as the case
requires. Thus 1t Is seen that the
burglar meets obstacles which are al
most impossible to overcome. BY day

Three Chinesa Games.

Let Out the Doves."-At the cry Of
let out the doves" one Of the larger
girls takes hold Of the hands of two
of the smaller girls, one of whom rep
resents dove and the other a hawk.
The hawk stands behind the big girl,
and the dove in front Of her. She
throws the dove away as she might
toss bird in the air, and as the child
runs she waves her arms as though
they were wings. The hawk is then
thrown in the same way, and 1t fol-
lows the dove. The big girl then claps
her hands as the Chinese do to bring
their pet birds to them, and the dove,
II not caught, returns to the cage.
Seek for Gold.-Thls is a variation
Of our popular Jacks" Several girls
gather up some pebbles, squat down
In group, and scatter all the peb-
bles. Then one draws her finger be-
tween two Of the stones and snaps one
against the other. If she hits 1t, the
two stones are taken up and put aside
to her credit. She Is entitled to draw
her finger again between two more
and snaps them. When she misses an
other girl takes up what pebbles are
left, scatters them, snaps them, takes
them up, and so on until one or anoth-
er child gets the most Of the pebbles
and the game is won.
"Kick the Marbles. Two boys and
two marbles are required. The first
boy says to the second: Kick this
marble north (south, east, west),"
pointing to one of the marbles. Only
one kick is allowed II he succeeds,
he wins; if he fails, the other wins.
II he puts it north as ordered, he may
kick again to hit the other marble, in
which case he wins again. If he hits
the marble and goes north, as ordered,
at one kick, he wins double.
Each boy tries to leave the marbles
in as difficult position as possible
for his successor; and here comes in
a popularity which makes this game
unique among all games. II the posi-
ton in which the marbles are left is
too difficult for the other to play, he
may refuse to kick, and the first boy
is obliged to play his own difficult
game.

With the Opening of Panama Canal
There viii Be Little Necessity
for Long and Dangerous Trip
Around the Horn.

Philadelp phia.-The three-masted full
rigged ship Aryan, the last wooden
ship Of her type to be constructed in
shis country, and one of the few at
present under the American flag, has
arrived here from Fort Blakely,
Wash, after a thrilling voyage of $50
days, in which she rounded Cape Horn.
The vessels arrival recalled the glori-
Gus days of the clipper ship, when the
fearless American skipper and his
crews made the stars and stripes su-
preme on the seven seas.
More than ordinary interest was at
ached to the vessels arrival because
Of these features and because she

Oregon pine, the first to be received
here in Is years. The timber, some Of

New Version Of a Peanut Party,

Arrange tables as for a progressive
card game, only place a generous
handful of peanuts (in the shelly in
the center of each table and provide
pair of tongs like those that come
in boxes of candy, for each player.
After the fashion Of jack straws, the
game Is to see how many peanuts can
be removed without moving one.
When one is moved the player gives
up and the next one tries. At the end
Of twenty minutes bell is rung and
the player at each table having the
most peanuts progresses. The win
ners at the different tables play an
other round until there is only one
winner, who receives the reward,
which may be a large peanut candy
box filled with salted peanuts.
Children love this game. The main
thing is to impress upon them all is
that they must play fair.

SHIPS UNIQUE TRIP

was experienced on New Years day
The vessel was roaring along on the
edge of hurricane. The wind from
the northwest was blowing rs miles an
hour. Rain came down in sheets and
the crash of thunder sounded like a
battery Of heavy artillery in action
Lightning flashed from the skies at
frequent intervals. One bolt struck
the main skysail yard and leaped in
bounds from it to the upper forosail,
to the lower foresail and then to the
crossjack yard, which it snapped off.
Second Mate William Swater was
standing beneath the mainmast Near
by stood Augustus Rose, and cabin
boy Fred Hart was passing with a
tray Of food. The pipe which Swater
was smoking was broken of at the
stem by the lightning. Roses wood
en- leg was shattered and the tray of
food was tossed into the sea. A pine
log about So feet in length and about
18 inches square was split in half as
though by a saw.
The last hurricane of the voyage IOn
January 80, tore away every sail. The
vessel sprung leak just above the
water line.
The Aryan was constructed 20 years
ago at Phippsburg, Me. She will prob
ably be the last ship from this port to
make the voyage around the Horn, as
the opening of the Panama canal will
sound the deathknell Of such trips.
