Did Pastime That ls Just az Enjoyable

At a recent card party few of the
grand danes present began talking OF
the pastimes Of their childhood and
one and all agreed that "Logomachy'
had been not only enjoyable but most
Instructive. So Immediately inquired
into the game and found that it would
be most excellent, as it cannot help
but teach spelling, which is one of
the crying needs of the day. dis
like to say so, but many of my let
ters from school children, even of
high school age, are often badly
spelled and badly written.
The regular "Legomachy" sets may
be obtained, and "Anagrams" may be
used. The cost is very small. Home
made sets are quickly constructed by
taking letters from the top of daily
paper Gas they are usually good-sized
letters), mount them on squares of
cardboard or very thin wood. With
a scroll saw, these are easily man
aged. Make about three dozen of the
letters most commonly used, with q
few extra vowels; a half dozen each
of 20, X,' and "Z" will be enough.
To play the game, give each one
the same number Of letters, the faces
turned downward on the table. Each
one in turn places letter face up In
the center of the table and II he can
form q word Of not less than three
letters from those collected, he takes
them. This may be done either before
or after the player has turned up the
letter. The one playing continues to
draw new letters as long as he can
add them to words already made by
himself or any other person. The one
who turns up the last letter is per
mitted about twenty seconds to claim
the word. after which any one may
take 1t by first naming It,
Amy player may take from another
q word, II by adding another letter he
can make materially different word
from IT.
A change of verbs into their owl
participles, or nouns to adverbs or ad
jectives, is not counted. Proper nouns
and abbreviations are not counted

They grow to a height of two hun

exceedingly valuable tree and have
supplied California with lumber for
several decades. 1t puzzled me when

close together with trunks seventy
five to one hundred feet clear of limbs.
| realized that such a grove cut into
lumber could not have been piled on
the ground where it grew.
There are still many redwood trees
here twenty feet in diameter and $50
feet in height. Some of the natives
tell about what they call, "the father
of the forest" 1t was a tree four
hundred, fifty feet high and had
trunk whose diameter measured forty
feet at the ground. 1t has been cut
down. 1t is estimated here that some
of the living trees are five thousand
years old, and the stumps of trees
felled, seem from count of the rings
of annual growth to bear out claim
