Zeruiah was J oab’s mother. Answers to the Puzzles, &c., in No. 2, are omitted until next week, to enable us to hear from distant subscribers. Games for Girls. Last week we gave two games for boys. A good game for girls is The Puzzle Word. —One girl goes out of the room, and the others agree upon a word which she is to find out by asking questions. “Does the thing you have named fly?” “Does it walk?” “Does it sing?” “Does it speak?” “Does it grin?” &c. If she fails to ascertain the word from the definitions given she must pay a forfeit. Magic Music. —One of the company goes out of the room, and while she is absent the remain der agree unon what she shall be required to do when she returns. One girl then takes a seat at the piano and when the absent one re-enters the room, begins to play—the music becoming more and more lively the nearer she approaches what she is required to do, and as she moves away from it the sounds become fainter and fainter. Thus, if it has been agreed upon that she shall touch a certain picture in the room with her right hand, the nearer she approaches to the picture the loud er and more rapid is the music ; if she raises her right hand it is still more lively, but if she raises her left hand the sound dies away, &c. If she fails to guess what she is required to do she lias to pay a forfeit. —— Hunt the Hare. In this old game, the company all form a cir cle, holding each other’s hands. One called the hare is left out, who runs several times round the ring, and at last stops, tapping one of the players on the shoulder. The one tapped quits the ring and runs after the hare, the circle again joining hands. The hare runs in and out in every direc tion, passing under the arms of those in the cir cle, until caught by the pursuer, when he becomes hare himself. Those in the circle must always be friends to the hare, and assist its escape in every way possible. JA cut finger is best protected by being en cased with a rag moistened with flour and water ; this will harden and remain firm till healing is complete. TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF THE SOUTH!
