BEAN BAG BALL is AMUSING
Player Who Throws Most Bags Into
Basket Is Winner-Another Game
Also Described.

A game called "bean bag ball" is
played by suspending a basket by a
rope from doorway or some other
place where it can swing freely. Place
the first player at certain distance
from 1t and give him three or four
bean bags, or as many as you have.
Then pull the basket to a certain
height and let it swing back. The
player tries to throw the bean bags
into the basket while 1t is swinging.
He is allowed only a certain time,
but within that time he can use the
bean bags that have missed over again.
Someone else can pick them up for
him. The player who places most in
the basket wins. It is well to remove
your mothers best vase from the shelf
near the doorway and to warn the
members Of the household against en-
tering the room unexpectedly.
Another bean-bag game is to place
the players in three groups. The first
group throws to the last group and
the group In between tries to catch
the bean bags on the hy.

SACRED CANDLE NOT INJURED
One 81 Arras' Few Historic Relics,
Many Hundred Years Old, Spared
by Bombardment.

One of the few of the historic rel
les which escaped the bombardment
of Arras was a candle reputed to be
several hundred years old The can
die is in the ancient church, Notre
Dame des Ardents, which also came
uninJured through the bombardment.
The relic is known as the Holy Cam
die. 1t is guarded in a richly-enam-
eled silver casket, made to the order
of Jean de Sasquepec, lord of Baudi-
mont, and owner of Arras, and GU
rious history is attached to it.
1t appears that in May, 1105, the
Holy Virgin appeared during the night
to two minstrels. A terrible plague
depopulated Arras at that time, and
the Virgin-so goes the legend-gaVe
the two Ministries candle, which they
in turn gave to Bishop Lambert OF
Arras, and told them that the hot
wax of this candle mixed with pure
water would cure the inhabitants OF
Arras of the dreadful malady.
A grateful populace erected the
Monastery of Ardents. The candle
has been carefully guarded, and it is
the firm belief of the inhabitants of
Arras that it frequently saved them
from destruction.

They are really very proud Of

Then, from not far off, some other
whispers came up through the earth.
They were quite like those of the Rad

Fairies decided this time it was some
thing else besides an impatient little
Radish whispering and grumbling.
1--WE want to come up. We can
just see above the earth, and we like
the looks Of everything on top of the
ground. Our families have often told
us how nice Mr.. Sun was and Mr..
Spring Rain, and that when we came
up and looked about us we were ad-
mired right away by real people. Then
we were taken up and put on lovely
dish and something soft and cool put
over us-they called it dressing, and
then we were eaten up

for they were not used to hearing
whispers such as Then we'll be eaten

"This made the greatest excitement
in Fairyland. But didn't those little
