The Pipefish's Pocket,

The kangaroo has always seemed to
have the monopoly of that convenient
way Of carrying its babies In a pouch.
but Il has been discovered that q fish
has the same useful receptacle. which
1t uses for precisely the same purpose.
The pipefish, as it is called from the
length Of its jaws, has a pocket on the
underside of its body nearly half its
length. 1t is found in the male fish
only and is the only part Of its body
not covered with large fat plates.
which take the place Of scales in its
protective armOr.
IL a pipefish is taken from the water
and its little ones shaken from the
pouch they seem either unable or disin-
clined to swim away. But IL the father
is placed back In the water again all
the little ones Immediately swim back
into the pocket These curious little
creatures have prehensile tails to use
to hold on to seaweeG and prevent
themselves from being carried away by
the tide.

The Squirrel.

See the squirrel in the tree.
Pleasant quarters has he;
His home is knothole. convenient and
free.
How he runs on the limb,
Then sits up straight and trim
The rascal! He knows we are talking Of
him.
Here he comes, nose in air,
To partake of your fare.
He's found you have nuts and expects
you to share.
Now he holds up his paws,
And with teeth and with claws
He soon has a goodie bestowed in his
jaws.
Catch him? Well. you may try,
But fear he's too sly.
He sees everything with that bright little
eye.
There! l knew you would fail.
With fiirt OF his tail
He's up and away like a leaf on the gale.
Never mind: let him stay
In the treetop and play.
Well find him again when we're walking
this way.

Boy Policemen.

America has one city wherein boy
policemen are doing real work. The
city Is New York. and the organization
is known as the Junior Police Force OF
the City Of New York.
Good results have already come from
the union of these 800 or more young
sters, who are banded together to up
hold the law. maintain order and keep
clean the streets near the Bowery.
Captain John Sweeny Of the regulars
who heads this force. says that bon
fires have been reduced 90 per cent In
the district, complaints Of disorderly
street gatherings have been cut to less
than half. street cleaning has been
made lighter. fire escapes cleared, gar
bage cans put in order and cigarette
smoking made unpopular.
The boy policemen are all working
toward good citizenship.

Shut Your Ewes,

This is funny little game, enjoyed
by every one. If one has never tried 1t
is very amusing to find anything with
your eyes shut or to guess distance.
First place piece of paper on the
floor in front of you. shut your eyes,
take two steps backward. then try to
walk to the paper and pick it up. Then
stick a pin in the wall about four feet
up and try to pick it off blindfolded.
Stand about four to six feet from the
table, shut your eyes and then try to
walk up to 1t without knocking
against 1t.
Many other tricks may be devised to
show how much we depend on our
sight.

A CHRISTMAS HYMN

No tramp of marching armies,
No banners flaming far;
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky Star.
Their hymns of peace and gladness
To earth the angels brought,
Their Gloria in Excelsis
To earth the angels taught;
When in the lowly manager
The Holy Mother Maid
In tender alteration
Her Babe of heaven laid.
Born lowly in the darkness.
And none as poor as he,
The little children of the DOOR
His very own shall be.
No rush of hostile armies then.
But just the budding sheep,
The angels singing of the Christ
And all the world asleep.
NO name OF conquering banners,
No legions sent afar;
lamp within a stable
And in the sky a Star,
margaret E. Sangster, in Collier,
Weekly.

judge and jury. The players or jury
form up two rows facing each other.
The judge sits at one end and asks
questions. These may be of any de-

A, do you think it will rain tomor-
row?" Now, although the judge ad-
dresses Miss A. and looks at her. it is
not she who must answer. but the
player opposite to her. And he, in his
answer, is not allowed to say either
YES" NO" Black" white" or
Gray" If the player who was ad-
dressed answers she becomes judge,
and the judge takes her seat. or. If the
opposite player does not answer before
the judge has counted ten. he becomes
judge, and the judge takes his seat.
