Fold f ! thu paper at point a and fold It oare- I i fully In such a way that you net two . new regular polnta aa ahown In Fig. 4.

C.mmI gnmea are always worth know Iur alsiut, especially espe-cially those lilnixeut Raines that, with their funny conseiiueiices. offer surh real relief fnim i. ,Hy, riir.-a. fin one wants to mhM a busineaa of playing play-ing S-illiMs, but the Rrentest minds are not above simple diversions; nar, they must have ihem. One of the best pastimes pas-times of the kind Is the old Kmtllsh KBliie of "Head, IkiiIv and les," the origin of 'which la lost In the past. Take a slip of iapi-r about two Inches wide and four Inches lonR. Draw two lines across . ow II Is marked off Into thirds. Let the llrst player draw at the top of the al! a head, uhIiir only the upper third of the paper. This bead may be that of any Imaginable or uuluiauluublr. creature. If It's some, thing mongrel and absurd. It's all the funnier. The tlrat player then folds the paper down, so aa to cover up what be has drawn, but leaving the neck cxtcndlim Just below thu fold. He then pnnaes the slip on to the next player, who In turn drawa a body on the middle third of tun paper. Joining It to tho nock, and then folding the paper. Just bo aa to leave unough of tho body showing to Indicate where the legs shoud Join pa. A third play-or play-or then adds leKs and feet to the slraiiRe being, to suit his fancy, it will add to tho fun to have a fourth player name the portrait. Finally, tho paper Is unfolded. To aay the least, the company will be surprised at tbe queer composite It may be that tbe head and legs will disagree over the direction tbe creaturo Is supposed to be fronting. Oftentimes one of tbe mbera will be so out of proportion. with the rest as to make the whole cffi-et very ludicrous. The best way to see the possibilities of the game Is to try It. You needn't be an artist to mako a success of It. since the most awkward band will frequently produce the most laughable results. The com-blnatlons com-blnatlons may not always be so comical, comi-cal, but out of lislf a doten trlala there are sure to be several roaring successes. success-es. When there Is quite a company assembled, each may be given a trieoe of paper and pencil; each draw a head, fold the paper, pass to the next; then eacli draw a body, fold, pass; then each draw legs, fold pass, and the next name It. In this way all those present will bt) occupied In the sport, and tho large variety of portraits will Increase the entertainment. Riding Upon a Knife. Split a match at one end and Insert Into the split the flattened end of a second match, to form an acute angle. Place tbe two matches on the sharp edge of a knife held horizontally In such a way that the heads of tbe matches touch the surface of the table. No matter how hard you try to hold the knife steady, to everybody's aur-prlso aur-prlso tbe matches will begin to move up and down. To render the experiment more effective, ef-fective, crack the matches In tho middle mid-dle to form the legs of the rider, then out the upper body out of paper and Insert In-sert It Into a spilt maclo In one of tba matches. Trick With Pair of Scissors. If Alexander tho Qrcat were asked to free this pair of scissors tied to tba back of a chair, wlUiout untying th cords, he would Perhaps draw Ida sword and cut the cords wf.'h one blow. We will show bliu how tjo iik ran be done without force, aa follus; Take hold of the cord at A, pull it through Urn handle II and curry It over the doited lines. This will freo the Belabors without breaking the cord. The lazy man wants things leveled down. Tho ambitious cue tiles to have them evened up. |
