Three Chinese Games.

LET Out the Doves."-At the cry OF
Let out the doves" one Of the larger
iris takes hold Of the hands Of two
4 the smaller girls. one Of whom rep
esents a dove and the other a hawk.
The hawk stands behind the big girl,
md the dove in front Of her. She
hrows the dove away as she might
oss 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,
IL not caught, returns to the cage.

bles. Then one draws her finger be-
tween two Of the stones and snaps one
against the other. II 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 30 on until one or anoth-
er child gets the most of the pebbles
and the game is won.

one kick is allowed. II he succeeds,

which case he wins again. II 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 peculiarity which makes this game
unique among all games. II the posi-
tion 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.

this grade may extend, on basis of
100 per cent, anywhere from SO to

Now, Messrs. Elitors,I should like
to ask through your columns just
what is the grade of passed with
credit" and also is it fair to the pu-
pills to mark them in such manner?
How do they know what percentag ge
they have obtained? And when the
roll of merit for a year or for the
whole course is made out? Who de-
cides what pupil is the honor pupil
should several obtain this grade.
