"The other morning on my way to
the train I came upon some queer
j n-croglyphlc chalk markings on the
smooth flagstones of my street, " said
(sabbubs. 'I stopped to examine them
I and when I unraveled their meaning
I a lot of forgotten things came troop-
Ing back to me. The chalk mark
ings on the flagstones were made the
evening before by some children who
had been playing hopscotch. 'Mem
ber hopscotch? 1 am afraid that too
many of us grownup sinners have a
more vivid knowledge of hotscotch
than we have recollections of hop
scptch; but of course all of us grown
ups played honscotch one wav or un-
I other when we were young 'tins. The
chart looked differentthough, from
the hopscotch charts we used to
make, and I had to study for some
tfme before I could recall Just what
the difference was.
"The various compartments of the
hopscotch diagram when I was a
Bhaver used to be simply numbered,
but now the compartments are all
dignified by geographical names, as
of States and kingdoms. That same
evening on my way home I stopped
to watch a number of children danc
ing around on one foot playing hop
scotch. The girls seemed to be able
to play the game better than the
boys, probably because girls are light
er on their feet and have a better
sense of balance.
"Looks easy, does that game; but
If you want to nscertaln beyond all
doubt that you've experienced, say,
thirty years of vicissitudes since the
last time you played hopscotch, just
you try a hop or bo at It. I did that
the evening I stopped to watch the
children and they made great fun of
me some of them were my own chil
dren. "I found that my sense of meas
urement had undergone a curious de
terioration. And what hard work,
that hopping about on one foot. Such
hard work that I fell to wondering
why I used to play at hopscotch so
enthusiastically after school hours
nnd nil day Saturday when I was a
tike.
"The children In the cities have
certain seasons for certain games,
but I've noticed since moving out to
tho suburbs that the suburban chil
dren sort of mix all of the games up
all the time. For Instance, follow
my leader used to bo a great game for
the fall and winter In the city when
I was a boy, but they play it all the
time and at all seasons, do the sub
urban children. It's Interesting to
watch how the game Is started. In
every congregation of youngsters
there's invariably one strong willed,
determined, masterful boy or girl
who overtops the others and whose
exaction of unquestioning obedience
from nil the others Is quite beyond
analysis.
"This masterful young one Is the
leader in the. follow my leader game,
by general consent, and chosen for
that position without any spoken
words. It Just fulls out that way.
Follow my leader Is a sort of game
that is calculated to bring out the
strong points and the nerve of the
young uns who engage in It. It Is the
business of the followers of their
leader to do anything and every
thing that leader does, including tho
wading through puddles , hopping
picket fences, scaling wabbly curbs,
climbing trees, swinging on rickety
gates and other little diversions suf
ficiently out of the ordinary to cause
the reluctant youngster to be called
'cowardly.'
"They play tops all the year Votind
out in the suburbs, too, but right
now, I should Judge, is aboit the
height of the top season. The girls
have of late years been r'aying tops
they didn't have much truck with
'em when I was a boy but girls
don't seem to master tho curves of
the top business. A girl throws a
top from Its string something like a
grown woman shies a rock at a hen.
"But the patience of the little girls
who try top spinning is commendable.
They contrive to get their tops to
whirl around feebly about once in
every fivo throws, but they Btick to
the game and look as If they were
enjoying it. They gazo a bit en
viously, however, In tho direction of
the otherwise quite Incompetent and
unworthy boys, who, with the sim
plest kind of twists, heave a top ten
feet away with a precision and skill
that causes it to spin humralngly for
a long time until, In fact, the boys
pick their tops up on the palms of
their hands and let 'em spin there.
I notice that the girls don't mako
much of a fist of picking up their
tops on the palms of their hands.
They go about the Job a bit too gin
gerly, as if afraid of dirtying tho
backs of their bands.
"The boys who spin tops nowadays,
by the way, seem to've forgotten the
trick we all had it a quarter of a
century or more ago of cutting deep
vertical nicks In their tops, in order
to extract a shriller humming from
them as they whirled around. Tho
boys still play ring top, though. The
girls don't take to ring top. They
can't see the sense of risking their
tops to the top-spikes of boy top
throwers a good deal more clever
at top throwing than they.
"And, come to think of It, this
game of ring top Is a queer sort of an
affair. The boy who accidentally
makes a hash of throwing hl3 top has
to permit the top to remain within
the big chalk marked ring. Then
all of the other boys take a whack
at It with their tops. The boy who
hits the top in the ring with the
spikes of hlB top (which must remain
spinning after the impact of the blow,
and remain within the circular ring
besides) becomes the possessor of the
'dead' top. The skilful lads know
how to strike a 'dead' top without
splitting it.
"And, while the boys play marbles
most of the year out where I live,
this is the big marble season, too.
The boys have got a game of marbles
now that I don't remember having
played when 1 was u young 'nn. The
ring is only about a foot In diameter,
and the taw line is a dozen feet away.
From the taw line the boyB plump
at the marbles in the ring, and they
are not allowed to roll their marbles
on the ground at all. This Is a game
of marbles that requires a steady
hand and first rate marksmanship.
Only tho most scientific marble play
ing boys play this game. The others
stick to the old time big ring, about
Ave feet in diameter.
" 'Snatching up' still goes, I note.
It will probably always endure as
long as there are naturally preda-
I tory boys. The youngsters of to-day,
however, seem to be possessed of a
hawklike vision for snatchers up. and
when they perceive these bandits In
the offing they knock off playing un
til the pirates get out of the way.
Now here is a curious tiling about
boys. They thing splitting the girls'
tops is nil right: perhaps it appeals
to them as something funny; but they
don't snatch up the girls' marbles.
"Some of the hoys play the game
of marbles called 'purgatory' on
vacant lots. Golflsh sort of game,
this purgatory, except that Instead of
using clubs the boys' direct the mar
bles into the purgatory holes by
knuckle force, as In the regular game
of marbles. The boy who is last to
get his marble Into the final purga
tory note has, as of old, to permit
his knuckles to be shot at by the
taWB of the other boys as many times
as the pregrrongement calls for. it
has always been a moot question. I
believe, whether boys are naturally
cruel or not. but the purgatory play
ing boys certainly seem to enjoy the
sharp cracking of the beaten boy's
knuckles when they shoot their heav
iest taws at the vanquished one's
knuckles with all their force.
"The old time prejudice of prop
erly masculine boys against the girls'
game of jacks still seems to prevail.
Whenever you come across a -party of
girls playing Jacks, with a KoMtr.ry
boy engaging in the game with them,
you may stand by to hear all the
other boys uround call him girl
names.
"Jacks, viewed from a grownup
point of view, is a good deal better
game wheu It is played on a smooth
carpet, but the little girls don't think
so, and as they do the playing, grown
up opinion doesn't amount to any
thing. They play the game on the
sidewalks, alongsido the curbing, or
on the front steps. Little girls who
llko to play Jacks usually have the
discretion not to play the game In
front of their own houses, where they
are within the sight of their moth
ers, because their mothers expect
them to engage in active running
about play when they are out, and
consider that if they are inspired to
pass their time at such a sedentary
game as Jacks they might just as well
be inside practising their piano les
sons. "Both girls and boys play mumble
peg nowadays. When I was n tyke a
girl was considered tomboyish If she
played mumblepeg. Mumblepcg is
another game that seems to've
changed a good deal siuce I played it.
When I was a shaver we played it on
boardwalks or planks, and it was a
mighty scientific game. The young
sters of to-day play the game on the
sod, and they're not, therefore, com
pelled to be so unerring in judging
the r.lms of their jackknives.
"I don't see many girls with a skip
ping rope nowadays, though. Mod
ern medical men, 1 am told, have de
veloped a prejudice against skipping
ropes, and if there are any little girls
there used to be many of 'em
who try to skip the greatest number
of times compatible with keeping any
breath at all in their bodies, they un
dertake the performance well out of
view of their mothers. It seems a
pity that the skipping rope is passing
In obedience to the mandate of the
physicians oven though the mandate
be well based, as it undoubtedly Is
for there could hardly be anything
prettier or more graceful than tho
picture of two little girls of a size

Curious Fact About Platinum.
A singular property of platinum
amalgam was discovered by Pro
fessor Moissan Just before bis death.
After mercury and water are shaken
together they speedily separate Into
distinct layers, but If the mercury
contains platinum in solution the
mass swells to about fivo times Its
original volume, forming an emulsion
that gives no sign of change after
I twelve months. The . microscope
shows it to conaUt of minute glob
ules of metal anil water. Even when
boiled in water or cooled to eighty
degrees below zero there is no sep
aration. The effect Is the same with alco

From north to south and from east to

tho great land owner beautifies his
acres and enhances their value with
rare and choice selections of trees,
and each tree has a family receipt for
flavor which It implicitly follows, each
species keeping inviolate the virtue
of mixture. We can imagine a gos

In Cornish chapels the Invariable
rule Is for men to sit on one nide of
the building and turn women on the
other.
A visitor and his fiancee who are
Haying in the district went to chapel,
and just before the service began the
young man was greatly astonished
when the chapel steward, observing
that the couple were seated in the
snme pew. came over to him and. in
an audible voice, said: "Co-ne on
out of that, me son;, we don't 'ave
no sweetheartin' 'ere."
