TOR THE CHILDREN
Quter Mrs. Kangaroo.
Mr Kangaroo ha a Mg pocket In
Wsleh fht rnrriea her young ones. It
fc the corlcst kind of u place for a llt
th kaniiraroo. nnil sometimes you will
ind n whole family of brothers and
asters In the poueli nt once.
However, this Is not the only way
Mrs. Kangaroo has of carrvlnit her
children. When hunters pursue her
be (nits all her babies Into her cket
iul run for dear life, but If she feets
tftat the enemy h kilning on her and
ffv.it she Is i;i danger of beinn captured
e- lr.e one little one after another
w1!l her forepnwa anil hurls It out of
the pocket one side of her pathway
as far as s!ic can throw It. She t.U.e;
fare to tlo i his only at times when i lit
tneui.v Is tint in shjht In this way sln
relieved of the weight of the youii
sters. and she ran run faster.
At the same time, says the t'lilcaRo
Jews, her motive Is not n selfish one
Jbe throws her babies out In so ski!'
til a manner that It does not huri
them. They are soft little crea l r re--,
ml when they land In a bru-di hc.i
Ihey are none the worse for It The
lunter loses all sic t of the little kau
faroos by this movement.
Character Guessing.
All tile players sit around In a circle
The player who first thinks of au inter
sting character In one of Urtmiu's
fairy tales or in "Alice In Wonderland"
r any other book that Is unite familiar
all the players sits ou the floor wltli
S the circle and begins to descrilf the
character. The other children listen
carefully, and the first one who thinks
be has guessed the character sits on
the Ooor beside the other and continues
to descrllie the character. If he has
guessed rightly and is correct in his
description, the first player allows him
to ou describing, but If he is luls
takeu the first player shoos him out of
Sue game. As soon as a child thinks he
Has guessed the character he sits ou
the floor and tells what be knows of
the character, and so It goes ou till all
the children are sitting oa the floor ex
cept those who have guessed wrong,
and they are all driven out of the
fume. .
Menagerie A Jolly Hoax.
Secure a box four or five feet long
and one or two feet across, open, at
both ends. Put a sliding partition In
the center aud place it. covered vitla
dark cloth, on a table in a room ad
joining the one where the company Is
assembled. Admit a loy and girl to
this room, -which Is the menagerie.
The keeper asks them what animal
they wish to see tirt They ur-.' then
placed at the opposite ends of the box
and told to look within: then the par
tition is suddenly drawn out. and they
gaze at one another. They remain in
the room till all hive been admitted
and hoaxed In the same way.

NEW ENGLAND WITCHES.
A Small Record Compared With That
of Other Countries.
Yankees hive so long and so loudly
confessed their ancestral sius that the
facts In the case are little known. So
much Is said about Salem that the exe
cution of witches In Pennsylvania Is
overlooked. The scant score of persons
hanged for witchcraft In New England
causes more comment than the many
thousands legally burned for that
crime bi Europe.
In all New England, according to
Nathaniel Hawthorne, nineteen per
sons were executed as witches. One
