TAP GAMES HAVE PURPOSE
chldren's Pastimes In That Country
Are Played With the Idea Of
Strengthening Character.

For centuries before America was
discovered Japanese children were
playing games upon which our boys
, and girls considered they have a mo-
nopOly, and which are regarded as
strictly modern. AS a matter Of fact
most of our pastimes and games have
come to US from foreign lands, though
they have been modified to suit our
needs, and perhaps renamed
PUSSY wants a corner" and "blind-
mans buff are as old as Japan itself.
AS Played across seas, however, these
games are far superior to ours. Puss,
for instance, is represented as an
"Oni," or devil, the corners of the
room the four safe harbors of truth
with certain shelter from all harm.
In "blind-man's buff" the children
wear queer little costumes made OF
painted eyes and queer stuffed beaks
resembling birds, for noses. They look
like weird little gnemes rather than
children, as they dash about in fran
tic endeavor to catch their victims.
A ghostly game particularly en-
joyed by heroic boys requires the
same costumes. Some of them plant
flags in different parts of the cemetery
during the day, under lonely tree
or by hill, alleged to be haunted. At
night they meet for their game Of
"soul examination" telling stories
about ghosts, COLLINS and oni. At the
conclusion of each tale when their inn
aginations are so wrought up that they
are in terror, they go up the hill one
at a time and bring back the flags
planted there, until all are brought in.
Thus do they discourage fear and fos-
Ter courage, the trait Of character that
they most covet.

TO ALLAY PAIN OF STINGS
Use Of Ammonia to Be Avoided in
the Case of an Attack by an
Irate Wasp.

Ammonia promptly applied when a
bee stings you prevents serious CON
sequences and allays pain. 1t has gen
orally been supposed that this was
true also of wasp stings; but Edward
X. Speyer, an Oxford university spe-
clalist, points out in letter to the
London Times that the application of
ammonia or any other alllali to u
wasp sting makes 1t worse.
The reason is that the poison of a
bees sting is acid; that of a wasp's
sting is alkaline. Hence alkalies, like
ammonia neutralize the acid of the
bees sting, but aggravate the toxic
effects Of the wasp's alkaline sting.
The best thing to apply to a wasp's
sting is vinegar, being the nearest
acid In domestic service. Onion juice,
lemon juice, or any other handy acid
will do as well.
The Lancet says these facts ought
to he widely known. "for not uncOm-
monty the sting proves to be not a
simple puncture but the beginning of
toxic process sometimes fatal. A
wasp sting on the moist muc0sa, as
in The mouth invariably leads to seri-
Gus Inflammation, with most distress
ing results. If the simple gargling or
washing of the attacked spot with an
acid fluid in such case keeps down
the swelling lives m&S well be saved"
