The Came of Zoology Affords Much Amusement For Boys and Girls. This game will give all the'more amusement when played by boys and girls, because they are not sup posed to be skillful artists. If their drawings, therefore, are somewhat grotesque, all the better for the fun of the evening.' Get a large sheet of white card board and hang it on the wail. Now give to each player a piece of sil houette paper about ffve inches quare and a pencil. tTIic paper should be black on one sido ami white on the other. In one corner of the white side of the paper writo the name of some animal—a different one for each player, of course—and also tho play er’s number. Direct the players then to draw with the pencil on the white side of the paper the animals assigned to them respectively, and when tho drawings are completed to cut them out. The leader of the game then col- lccts the figures and with paste or mucilage attaches them to the card board on the wall, tho black side of the figure out, and each figure with Its number beside it. Now give to each player a sheet of paper with numbers written down the left hand side, as many numbers aa there are drawings, and ask them to write opposite to each number the name of the animal that the numbered figure is intended to represent. Hero is where the fun comes in, for many of the drawings will prove to be rather hard to make out. The player -who guesses the greatest number of animals receives the lardhoard as a prize.

A/i Experiment Which Seeme te In dicate That Birds Do Think. A certain farmhouse had a veran da running along its sixty feet or so of low browed front. Under this and over tho door in the center • psix'or robins built their nest, man aging to raise their brood in spite of much tribulation from the con tinued presence and threatened as saults of the neighborhood cats. Well, during tho following sum mer a-pair of robins, confidently be lieved to be the old tenants, return ed to their customary hot weather resort, made their appearance at the usual time, hut not to rebuild on the perilous ledge above tho door. About a dozen paces from tho porch stands • well grown acacia tree, wide branched and thorny. Now, who ever heard of robini or any other birds so lost to common prudence and eojroid of all ornithological ap- S reciation of cata as to build a nest t the lowest crotch of a large tree, scarcely fourteen feet from the id. But these birds did it, and, icnt complete four young robins. Just below them were closely scat tered the long, sharp, rigid acacia thorns, impassable, “uneatable,” and the neat little nest waa as safe as the treasury vault. Did the birds examine the thorns and comprehend the situation? Did they reason about it and aay to themselves, “No thorns on The door, but plenty of them here, all arrang ed to suit us, and here we will ait and sing and teach our children how they may also hereafter laugh at all tho cats on Long Island?” It is hard to tell, but at all events there was the nest, there were tbr thorns.—Brooklyn Eagle. A Parisian Dual. An extraordinary duel has just been fought in l’aris between two youths named Maltier and Lamort.
