How Japs Play Ken.

In its most widely practiced form the
basis Of the Japanese game Of ken Is
that the fully outstretched hand signi-
fies paper, the fully closed hand a
stone, and two fingers alone extended,
the rest being closed, scissors. Each Of
the players, counting one, two, three,
throws out his hand ut the moment OF
pronouncing three, and the one whose
manual symbol is superior to that Of
the others, according to the theory Of
the game, wins the trial. Superiority
Is determined on the hypothesis that
whereas scissors cannot cut q stone
they can cut paper and whereas paper
is cut by scissors it can wrap up a
consequently scissors are infe-
rior to stone, but conquer paper; stone
is inferior to paper, but conquers scis-
sors, and paper is inferior to scissors.
but conQuers stone. There are innu-
merable varieties Of the game.

WHY Mothers Sjnq to Babies.

Psychologists who have carefully
studied the characteristics Of instinct
In women have discovered just why
mothers sing their babies to sleep. 1t
is not merely inspired by the expecta-
ton of better sleep In their children.
but it is the primeval call of the femi-
nine nature. 1t is a material prompt
ing which occurs naturally to each
mother.
Savage mothers who are never
known to sing upon other occasions in
variably hum and Groom to their chill
dren at night and upon one other in
stance, when they are planting seed.
It is popularity of the Zuni native
women and one which has been but
recently understood. The theory of
primitive peoples is that there is some
mysterious connection between the
sound Of woman's voice and growing
things. Columbus Dispatch.

One of the fastest games of the
season was played last Sunday after
noon at PennOck, when the team of
that village, defeated the P. and w.
team of Willmar by score Of 5 to 4.
The game was played in the remark
able time Of one hour and ten min
utes. Pennock's crack pitcher starred
for his team, striking out fourteen
men. McKelvey did some good work
with the war club for the winners.
But one error was chalked up against
the Pennockites, whose heavy hitting
and good fielding are feature of ev-
cry game they play. Maynard Knut-
son for the P. and WIS did the best
hitting, getting double and two sim
giles in four trips to the plate. He
also did some clever work behind the
bat. Kiff Johnson pitched steady
game tanning six and allowing but
seven hits, but seven errors back of
him tells the tale. He was pulled out
of two tight pinches, by double plays.
The P. and WIS will stage double
header at the local ball park next
Sunday afternoon when they tackle
both the H. and DIS and the Weum
Wonders. The first game will begin
promptly at two O'Clock, and the sec
ond will follow after ten minute in.
PERMISSION at the conclusion of the
first game. To offset the charge for
advertising and base balls, the small
admission fee of fifteen cents will be
charged. Kiff Johnson and Joe Downs
will undoubtedly do the pitching for
the P. and WIS.

Litchfield kept up their great record
for shutouts for the season by blank
ing the Kerkhoven team in fast
game at Litchfield last Sunday after,
noon. The score was 2 to O. After
the fourth inning not a Litchfield man
saw second base, but the damage was
| done before that time.
The schedule for the P. and W.
ball team for the month of July is as
follows:
July 2 Weum Wonders at Willmar
July 9, Svea at Willmar.
July 16, Pennock at Willmar.

Chronometers Aboard Ship.

A ships thermometer Is the most
wonderful and accurate timekeeper
made, for upon its accuracy depend
the lives of oil on board. So accurate.
indeed, is a ships chronometer that it
does not vary a second day. An err
ror Of only few seconds may put q
captain Of vessel miles out of his
reckoning at sea and run the ship into
great danger. For that reason every
ships timepiece goes through the most
thorough tests before it is pronounced
perfect. 1t is set going in a very hot
room and then transferred to q cold
one, for it may be used in any part Of
the world, from the polar regions to
the tropics, and 1t must always keep
good time.
Most large vessels have three chro-
nometers on board in case Of accident,
and whenever a vessel goes into port
they are sent on shore and tested to
see If they are still accurate. On board
ship the chronometer is kept amid
ships, because there are the least
motion and the smallest variation of
temperature.
