Three Chinese 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 a dove and the other q 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 it 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.-This is variation
OF our popular Jacks" Several girls
gather up some pebbles, squat down
in a group. and scatter all the peb-
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 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; II he fails. the other wins.
If he puts 1t north as ordered. he may
kick again to hit the other marble. in
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 a position as possible
for his successor; and here comes in
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 dinicult
game.
