Clear the middle of the room and place In a row a number of chairs, three loss than the number of play, crs. Blindfold one of the players and elect another for signal master The blindfolded one stands apart from the chairs, holding a wand. The signal master takes his place at one end of the row of chairs and the other players arrange themselves In a chain behind him, holding each other's coats or dresses. Then the chain of players walk slowly around the chairs, the blindfolded one waving hla or her wand, and singing: "The signal master will give a call; Take your chairs, then, one and all," After the players have thus marched gravely around the chairs two or three times, the blindfolded one gives a tap with the wand and the signal master immediately calls cut "Chairs! All now run toward the chairs, each trying to secure one, but three are left out, of course, two of whom will be required In the next game for signal master and blindfold, the third being the first blindfolded, who counts The letters of Here la a letter addressed to a prominent American his name and address are simply transposed See if you can straighten them out. hoop-skirt- you may have thought him vain to do this so often.

When a bird wants to get warmer he lifts his feathers so that these air spaces may be larger, but If his feath ers are tangled or wet and dirty he could not raise them and soon he could not keep the heat in his little body anu would die of course. Perhaps you have noticed sparrows or other birds In the winter time. They always look larger, but they have only huffed out their feathers because the . weather la cold. " t Mr. Canary doetT the same thing when ho goe to bed at night A water bird hav'fo be even more particular his clothes, for if he should get them wet he would die of cold. It seemB odd, does it not, that he can go in the water and not get wet? It la a fact, though, and It is only because he oils his feathers. All water birds have an oil can, or an oil gland, as it la called, located down among hla tall feathers, and after he has smoothed himself carefully he reaches his head down to the oil gland and gets a nip of oil in his bill and with It he oils hla feathers with the greatest care. If he does It properly the water will run oh and not soak In the least bit. Just watch a duck when you get a chance and see how he does It above the surface It Is all right. If It Blnks, the microbe Is too heavy for the quill and you must either reduce his proportions or use a larger quill. On the other hand. If the quill stands high out of water you must make the microbe heavier Now, fill a bottle with water to the sud-denl- y as out Continue the game In this way, moving a chair for each repetition, til all the players are out. reun- The Obedient Microbe.

When he reaches the- - bottom loosen the cork a little. The microbe will rise again, and by pressing the cork and loosening It you may make him go up and down as often as you please, or stay at the bottom or at the top. The bottle being quite full, pressing the cork down forces a little water Into the quill through the pinhole at the bottom. Being now partly filled with water. It is heavier than when It contained nothing but air, and so It sinks. When you loosen the cork the pressure is relieved and the air compressed in the top of the quill expands and forces the water out. So the quill, being as light as at first floats up with Its burden. Tne spectators, If at a little distance, will not notice the transparent quill or the thread, especially If the bottle Is a colored one, though they will aee the bright tinfoil plainly. Nor need you let them see that you are pressing the cork down or working It up. so that you can puzzle them nicely with the motions of jour trained microbe," which apparently rises and sinks at the word of command Boston Her aid.
