Game For Children.

This is bat a variation of the cil game of hickory, diekory dock, but it will amuse small children by the hoar and teach them to count at the same time. Take a piece of thin board or heavy cardboard about twenty inches square. On It draw a circle eighteeu inches in diameter and divide it into twelve sections, nuialjering them like the hours of a clock. Make a small top from half a spool end spin it in the center of the circle. The number of the section in which the top stops indicates the amount scored by the player. Any score front 50 to 200 may be decided on. and the player who first reaches this amount has won the game. , A Nursery Note. “Toddler" is an autocrat and a mischievous one. To keep him amused, says an ingenious mother, I have presented him with a piece of chalk (white, as he still investigates by means of his month» and have made a dado on the wall with brown paper. Three smooth new sheets cost next to nothing, but held in place by drawing pins they form a wide space on which the boy can develop his artistic faculty. En passant, be is amused and 1 am at Hboty. the price of farther liberty being fresh paper now and again. Little “Pies” For Little People. Use split milk crackers for crust. On each part spread apple sauce or any other Oiling. Add a meringue If desired and brown In the oven or use whipped cream. For “custard pie” spread “crust” with blancmange and brown With a sharp knife mark in And one child may have a whole pie or even two or three of them.—Woman’s Home Companion. 1 . . Cold Water For Children. Give children plain cold water to drink. It is better far for them than constant milk or lemonade. A small tmbtaful of pore water will not hart a child at any time. '
