talea. to the real education which
>« f>ing on consciously or narun
eriousijr all the lima This idea
ia oo longer to new to ua, for the
Kindergartens have begun to make
•a realize the use of play. Those
games that seem to train oar
senses of touch, hearing and sight
a re good. Half of as go through
tile with untrained or uneducated
senses, missing much on every
•ide for profit and enjoy moot.
It ia a good plan to teach the
children to amuse themselves by
seeing which can see farthest, or
a-* the largest number of things
<“ a given time, which can see col
*rs most accurately and notice
differences of shades and lints, or
cau tell best the size of an object
looked st for only a few moments,
t instant practice in these things
will not only train the eyes to no
tn-e more carefully and with more
discrimination, but the child will
si so learn 'unconsciously better
buw to exptese, himself and ac
quire habits of accurate descrip
tion. A great deal of untruth iu
the world comes not from unve
racily, but inaccuracy; not from
telliog an intentional falsehood,
but from seeing falsely or gelling
mistaken impressions.
The hearing can be tented and
exercised in almost se many ways
and to great advantage. The
toneb can be experimeated on
best by blind folding the person,
and then letting him judge of tex
ture and shape, and to this may
be added experiments with the
tastes of fruits, though ills hard
ly desirable to cultivate the Utter
sense to the delicacy of aa epi
enre, whereas and work can be
done more |ierfeclly by the work
man with trained fingers sod swift
and sure vision. It enhances our
practical value to an amazing ex
tent to cultivate these delicate
and wonderful instruments of
service.and joy that our bodily or
ganisation gives us.
Out of door games exercises o(
skill and strength all lie in the
name line aad can hardly bn too
highly prized when they are not
cal ried to excess. Then there are
games that are really edncntional
games. History and geography
■ay all be tanght in thin way;
some older person beginning by
taking either a country or histo
rical person, and mentioning some
striking effect in connection with
the chosen subject, the others
questioning and guessing until
the right one is hit upon. Then
the children take a country or a
person^and the older ones guess.
Sometimes the historical game is
played as “character.” One of
the parly is sent out of the room
and the others decide upon a hie
torical character, and when the
•nc who has been sent away, he is
greeted with agreement with the
character he has chosen to repre
sent, and all kinds of puzzling
questions asked about his history,
his motives, sensations, etc:
Word games arc pleasant, es
pecially when quiet is desired, and
definitions and pronunciation and
spelling are rapidly learned in all
the various forms under which
the “war of words” may be waged.
Rhyming games are often full of
fun, especially if there are two or
three willy people iu the crowd.
One of these “definitions” is very
bright and easily displayed. The
first player takes any word, sny
“fig,” and announces that he has
a word and it rhymes with "dig.’
The next fierson says, “an artificial
covering of hair for the bead.”
The first player announces with
great solemnity “it it not a trig,"
and so the game goes on, each
player trying to puzzle the first
player with his definition, ns he is
trying to puzzle them with bis
secret word. Of course, each def
initlon ban to be that of a word
which rhymes with the one chos
en.
"Profiles” may be productive of
much amusement on a long win
ter’n evening. A sheet of paper
is fastened on the wall and the
lamp placed so as to tbrnw a
strong shadow of the person to
be drawn upon it. You will get
two pictures, the outline carefully
cut out in silhouette style, even
a cap and a moustache often be
ing quite perfectly delineated,' or
• child's bead of only hair, and
then if the silhouette it well cut,
there will also be the outline left
ia the paper itself after the head
is cut out. From this, perhaps,
an artistic child may learn to dis
tinguish characteristic features,
various types ot noses, mouths,
shapes of head, ete. A game of
this kind, in which the object was
to identify persons by only seeing
their eyes, revealed the surpris
ing fact that eyes have absolutely
a» individual expression when
seen entirely apart from the rest
of the face. Even the eyes of an
animal cannot be distinguished
from those of a human being. One
can tell whether the eyes are
gray, bine or dark, but whether
intelligent or dnll, arch or Brian-
cboly, loving or indifferent, it is
impossible at all. It in accessary
to see only the eyes, however,
tbrwsgh a very narrow slit in the
enrtain, for even the alightest
glimpse of the rest of the face will
solve ten questions at once.
A nice way to develop the pow
ers of narration is to toll a story
in concert, each player taking up
the thread of the story in alternate
•accession, and trying to bring
the characters into critical situs
lions, or guiding the conversation
related to an exciting print.
When he drops the recital for
some one else to take it np. One
or two older minds are needed in
thin game to guide the atnry into
something of a consistent plot,
bat 1 have teen it made very
amusing with a good msny narra
tors of different sizes and ages,
some quite small.
It is well to know a variety of
games, active and quite ones too,
if you bare a party of children in
the house for several days, for you
will need them all. And it is a
lovely thing to give a chilli pleas
ure, for its remembrance is not
quickly lost. It often lasts on an
ti! mature years come and suggests
happy times for other little folks
in turn. M.
A Celebrated Case.
A decision is Fx|>ected to be
handed down in the United States
Supreme Court to-day which will
set at rnst litigation that hat been
carried on for over half a century.
It is in the celebrated cane of Mrs.
Kyra Clark Games against the
city of New Orleans.
Tbe history of the case shown
that truth in sometimes stranger
than fiction. Dsniel Clark, a
wealthy citizen of New Orleans;
sad the father of Mrs. Gaines,
died Ang. 16. 1813. and by a will
of May JO. 1811. his property was
left to his mother. Before the
will was probated, however, the
court was served with notice that
a later will, which could nwt be
found, had been made. In 1621
tbe executors under the first will
sold to Evariste Blanc for 84,739
a tract of 115 acres of land lying
then iu the suburbs of this city,
and in 1834 Blanc sold this prop
erly to the city for $45,000, but
before he did so tbe last will, da
ted in 1813, was found, sad Mrs.
Gaines filed her petition in the
Probate Court to prove it, and.sl
so served notice of the contest up
on the city. The property was
sub divided into small lots by
the city and sold to different par
ties, in 1837, for a sum amounting
in the aggregate to $609,400.
For nearly twenty years Mrs.
Gaines sought to establish the
lost will, and finally, in 1855, the
Supreme Court of Louisiana is
sued a decree acknowledging her
the righllul hei r , and in February,
1856, the will was admitted to
probate, and under it she began
suit for the recovery of the Blanc
tract, securing the right to it in
1878. It was a barren right, bow
ever, as the property had become
dilapidated, and was in the hands
of parties who. for the most part,
were insolvent.
Rut the city of New Orleans
was behind these parties, it bar
ing bought and sold the tract af
ter notice of the contest had been
served on it. Mrs. Gaiucs brought
suit against the city and obtained
judgments in the United States
Circuit court of Louisiana amount
ing to nearly $2,000,000. The
city appealed to IkeUuiled States
Supreme Court, and it is on this
appeal that the decision .will be
rendered. Mrs. Gaines,impover
ished, but not des|M>nilent, died in
1885, and since then her heirs
have carried on the litigation.—

Mb Ml to Boys.
A boy’s position in n
rial house is usually nt the
foot of the ladder. His duties are
plain, bin place ia insignificant,
and kio salary is small. He in
expected to familiarize himself
with the beninees, and as be be-
comes mere intelligent ia regard
to it he is advanced to a more re
sponsible place.
His first duty, then, in to work.
He mutt cultivate, day by day,
habits of fidelity, accuracy, aeat-
ness and dispatch, and these
qualities will tell in his favor as
•nrely as the world revolves.
Though he may work unnoticed
and uncommended for monlks,
•neb conduct always meets iu re
ward.
I once knew a bey who was a
clerk in a large mercantile honse,
which employed se entry clerks,
shipping clerke, buyers, book -
keepers and saleamrn eighty
young men. besides a small army
of porters, packers and truckmen;
and this boy of 17 felt that amid
such a crowd as this he was lost
to notice, and that any efforts be
might make would be quite unre
garded.
Nevertheless, he did bis doty;
every morning at 8 o'clock he was
promptly ia bis place, snd every
power that he possessed wss
brought to bear upon his work.
After lie had been there a year
he had occasion to atk a week's
leave of absence during the busy
Keep abend of rather than be
hind the times.
“That,” was the response, “is
an unusual request, aad one
which it in somewhat inconven
ient for nt to grant; but for tbe
purpose of showing yon that we
appreciate the efforts you have
made with ns, we take pleasure
iu giving yon the leave of absence
for which yon ask.”
“I didn’t think.” said the boy,
when he came home that night
and related his success, ‘that they
knew a thing about me, but it
seems they lisve watched me ever
since I have been with them.”
They had, indeed, watched him,
snd had selected him for advance
meat, for shortly after he was
promoted to a positioa of trust,
with appropriate increase of sala
ry-
It must be so, sooner or later,
for there is nearly always a de
mand for excellent work.
A boy who means to bnild up
for himself a successful business
will find it a long and difficult
task, even if be brings to bear ef
forts both of body and mind; but
he who thinks to win without do
ing his very best will find him
self a loser in the race.
Therefore, boys, be honest in
work ns well as in word.—Hate

menu A huge male elephant,
aged, according to official records,
92 years, the property of the gov
ernment. was condemned 16 death
for a long and hardened course of
iniquity. He had been long ia a
chronic must state, and iu this
condition bad taken a human life
at Poona about a couple of years

was a source of apprehension to
nil shout him, aad a perpetual
cause of anxious concern to the
government. The fist went forth
that he mast die. The Maharaja
Holkar and the Rajah of Dhar
each separately telegraphed to
headquarters and tried for a re
prieve One offered to buy the
grand lookingsinner for Rs. 1,000,
snd the other offered to exchange
a female elephant of gentle man
ners for tbe savage brute; but the
government of India was deter
mined on making tbe criminal ex
piate his sins. These offers were
refused, and a private notice was
sent around the station that the
execution would lake* place on
Thursday morning. Several peo
ple, including volunteer execu
tioners, hurried to a spot indica
ted outside of the. cantonments
where the malefactor was already
chained snd secured between two
death plan trees. The volunteer
marksmen, armed with twelve-
bore express rifles, were selected
to carry out tbe execution. The
elephant was sitting down when
the crowd began to assemble, hot
shortly raised himself on his fore
legs when the first of the shots
were fired, which hit him low down
nt tbe base of the trunk. The an
iraal vouchsafed no other notice
of this and two other equally inef
fective shots, than to stand up en

“One of the quickest marriages
ever heard of,” said a talking
man to a Chicago Mail reporter,
“was performed by Rev. Dr. Aaron
Turner, now in the Minneapolis
conference.” Then the talkative
fellow talked on in this lively
strain:
“Dr. Turner was in charge of
the Vincennes circuit at the lime.
One evening hn was hurrying bis
toilet in preparation for a mar
riage that be was to perform si
8 o’clock, at the home of one of
his fl»ck. He was late and very
much afraid that he couldn’t
reach the place of appointment in
time. Just as he got his white
lie adjusted snd was getting him
self into his coat a knock was
heard on the parsonage door. Dr.
Turner took up his hat, stepped
to the door snd opened it. A
young man stood outside. Dr.
Turner asked bis business. The
young man was flurried, but he
maffaged to say that he wanted
to get-married and handed the
parson s marriage license.
“Well,” said Dr. Turner, “1
can't do it to night. 1 am hurry
ing now to perform another cere
mony. I'm already late.”
“But,” pleaded the young man,
“it won't take long.”
“I know, but I can’t wait.” And
the preacher came out and closed
the door, walking rapidly away.
‘ But, Mr. Turner,” called the
young man, desperately, and he
ran after the minister, “you sure
ly can marry us. It won’t take
you bnt a minute.”
“Where’s the lady? - ’
“Right back here,” and the
young man pointed to a figure
standing ia the shadow of s tree.
“Well, come on,” Dr. Turner
•aid, and the two went back to
where the girl stood.
“Is this the woman you want to
marry?’’
“Yes,” said tbeyoung man.
“Then you are man and wife.
Good night.” And away he went,
leaving the pair standing speech
less. It wss a minute before tbe
newly made husband recovered
enough to ran after tbe preacher,
who was rapidly disappearing iu
the dark.
“Mr. Turner! Mr. Turner!” he
cried.

It is wonderful to note the meth
ods employed by nature for the
protection of her living forms,
writes Seth Green, in American
Agriculturist. There is an living
creature which has not
tided by nature with
of protection either through
strength, fleetness of foot or wing,
cunning, or • natural color similar
to the surrounding objects, there
by rendering them difficult of de
tection. The partridge closely
resembles tbe dead leaves, twigs,
•nd fallen limber, and tbe deer
possesses the same characteristic*
to such a degree that about the
only part readily aeen ia the while
hair on the under part of the tail.
Many of my readers have doubt
less observed tbe difficulty usually
experienced iu looking into •
trout stream to see any of the fish
This is caused by two reasons—
the first is the natural shyness of
the fish, and the second ia that
they so nearly resemble the color
of tbe bottom of the stream. But
the color is affected only so far as
the different shades of light snd
dark are concerned. 1 have many
times illustrated this changing of
color by driving tbe trout from
• spawning race having a light
gravelly bottom ont into a pond
having a dark bottom, where, by
contrast, the difference in shade
could lie plainly seen, and where
the trout would in a very short
time assume tbe color of the dark
colored bottom.—American Par

Dr. Whitehead:
In the veai 1878 I was attacked with z
severe case of Blood Poison that defied
all treatment. I went to several physi
cians but found no relief. Finally 1
went before a Board of Physicians at
Tallahassee and was examined, and my
case was declared to be a virulent case of
lllomi Poison, and all the medicine they
i gave me failed to eradicate the dreaded
disease arid my life was in danger. I lost
the use of my left arm and a physician
at this place said my arm would have to
be amputated. Tlie corruption that
came from various sores wa* so offensive
that I disliked to come in contact with
in v friends and neighbors. I took thirty-
two bottles of an Atlanta Blood Purifier,
also a lot made in Baltimore, and in fact
everything that I could hear of. but re
ceived no benefit. I had entirely de
spaired when your General Agent. Mr.
Clarkson, came here advertising P. P. P.
( Prickfv Ash. Poke Root and Pnt-'tssmra)
and induced me to give it & trial. I got
one large bottle, took it. and one and a
half small ones, and the various sores
have healed entirely and the new akin
has a clear, healthy color, and my gen
eral health is better than it has been be
fore in ten vears. 1 consider it tbe grand
est blood medicine of the age. a* snch a
small amount shows it wonderful effect*.
I am agent of the F. R. A N. railroad at

pleasure in recommending a medicine
that ha* performed such wonders forme.
