Hall Tennis.

All that is required for this game IS
a cord and n toy balloon. Fasten the
ends of the cord to opposite walls of a
hall or room. having it about the height
Of the shoulder and drawn tight and
even across.
Now use the toy balloon as the tennis
bail and the right hand as the rocket.
The balloon may be struck twice so as
to get it in good position before the
serve over the line. The game then
consists in returning the balloon as
long as possible A failure TO return
makes gain Of one point for the OF
ponent. and four points make Il game
The whole thing seems very simple
but try it and see. Much depends on
the way the balloon is struck. \ stroke
on the underside will send the balloon
up above your opponents head. and Il
stroke sending the balloon so that the
underside will just touch the string
sends 1t curling downward out of the
reach Of the opponent and back to its
starting place.
If the balloon does not pass over the
string the point is lost to the one giving
the stroke.

Celery STORAGE


HOtbeds and cold frames are quite
satisfactory for storing celery. They
may either be dug out deeper or have
another set of boards on top to give
the required height. The plants are
set in the frame close together and
then covered with boards Tapped to
shed rain. In very cold localities such
frames are covered with sash. over
which are mats covered with boards.
Ventilation must be given on warm
days by blocking up the sash. Celery
is also stored satisfactorily in trenches,
with the boards used in blanching nail
ed in Y shape and placed over the top.
If warm weather follows the trOughs
are blocked up to admit air. When
frost comes a light furrow is thrown
up along the boards and later manure
is thrown over them, but this trench
plan is usually adopted when the crop
is to be sold early in the winter. Tops
of celery should always be dry when
it is stored. and some soil is lifted with
the plants. 1t must be stored before
hard freezing

The Huntsman.

One person represents the hunts
man. The other players call them
selves after some part of huntsman's
belongings. For instance, one is his
cap, another the horn, others the pow.
der flask. gun. cartridges. coat. boots
etc
A number of chairs are arranged i'll
the middle of the room, and there
must be one chair less than the NUM-
Der of players. The players then seat
themselves around the room while the
huntsman stands in the center and
calls for them. one at Il time. in this
way: Cum" At once gun" rises and.
going behind the huntsman, takes hold
Of his coat Cap" Belt shot"
Goat" the huntsman cries, or he may
tell story of adventure, bringing in
these names. Each person who repre-
sents these articles must rise when his
or her name is called and place himself
behind the player summoned just be-
fore him and hold fast to him. At
length the huntsman has long line
behind him and begins to run around
the group of chairs, all holding to the
player in front and running until the
huntsman suddenly cries. Bang" and
ali scramble for chairs and sit down as
quickly as possible.
OF course one is left standing. and
he becomes huntSman.

will be almost impossible to raise early
plants successfully in the hotbed. The
windbreak should be about five feet

or hay may be used. The manure and
added material is to be thoroughly

the heap should be of sufficient diane

HOW TO BUILD HOTBEDS.

The Sunken Type Best For Raising
Early Plants From Seed.
Of the several types of hotbeds in
general use the sunken or pit type is,
all things considered. the best for the
raising of early plants from seed. This
style of bed is constructed by excavat-
ing a pit six feet wide and two and
one-half feet deep and as long as nee
essary to accommodate the number of
3 by 6 foot sash it is desired to use.
The sides of the pit are boarded up
which may be placed three feet or
more apart. If some degree of perma-
nency is desired good material will
need to be used. Chestnut lumber is
very serviceable and reasonably cheap;
spruce comes next in point of durabili-
ty and cheapnesS. The sides of the
pit should be raised above the surface
of the ground twenty inches at the
back and twelve inches in front This
will provide ample pitch to the sash
for shedding rain and also be of suffi-
cient angle for good construction Of
the suns rays and heat Good sash
should be used
The location of the hotbed should be
chosen where the natural drainage is
good and. if possible, where there is a
good windbreak at the north side. If
a suitable sheltered spot is not availa-
bic then a tight board fence six feet
high and extending several feet be-
yond each end Of the hotbed should be

FOR THE CHILDREN
Basket Toss.

Select a number of small fruit baS-
kets, all the same size, and have box
of checkers handy. Suppose you have
five baskets. On the bottom of one
mark 20. on another 10, on two 3, ana
on the other 0. Place the baskets in Il
row on the floor. Choose sides, giving
the black checkers to the leader Oh
one side and the red ones to the other
One side lines up about ten feet away
from the baskets. the leader giving
each player checker If there are
any left he keeps them and has the
right to throw them after the others
have all thrown.
Each one in turn throws his checker
into any basket. trusting to luck that
it falls into basket with a number on
it. When all have played the leader
turns up each basket to see its num-
Der and counts the number of check
ers in it. If there are two in basket
No. 20 it counts forty, if three in a
No. 3 basket it counts fifteen. Any
number in basket count nothing.
Then the score on that side is added
up, and the number of checkers that
fell outside the baskets is deduced
from the total. The other side then
lines up and plays as the first did. The
order Of the baskets must be changed
occasionally so that no one knows
which is which. The game continues
u,.til certain number-300 or 500. as
previously agreed upon - has been
reached. The side scoring that num-
Der of points first is victorious.
