FOR THE CHILDREN
"Do as I Do."
For all those children who are fond
of a little exercise no better game than
this can be chosen. When the chulrs
ere placed in order round the room the
ilrst player commences by saying, "My
master bids you do as I do," nt the
same time working away with the
right hand as if hammering at his
knees. The second player then asks,
"What does he bid me do?" The sec
ond player, working In the samo man
tier, must turn to his lefthanded neigh
bor and carry ou tho sumo conversa
tion, and so on until every one Is work
ing away with the right hand.
The second time of going round the
order is to work with two, then both
hands must work; then with three,
when both hands and one leg must
work; then with four, when both hands
and both legs must work; lastly, with
five, when both legs, both arms and the
head must bo kept going. Should any
of the players fall In keeping in con
stant motion a forfeit may bo claimed.

Jealousy Among Monkeys.
Jealous monkeys can be very cruel
indeed. On n ship returning from a
tour in tropical lauds a certain mon
key became a great friend of the stew
ardess. Ono dny a timid little monkey
ventured close enough to receive some
food from tho cook's hand. This tri
fling attention enraged the first mon
key, which coaxed tho llttlo thing to
its side, and then, before the steward
ess knew what was contemplated, the
Jealous monkey had graBped the other
by tho neck and thrown It overboard.
Of another monkey the same person
tells that while the cook vj-t absent
from the kitchen for a siTurt while
the monkey slipped a kitten, of which
it had long been Jealous, into tho soup
pot.
Rule For "ei" and "ie."
Thero have been times, no doubt,
when many of tho boys and girls have
, been puzzled about the proper use of
j ei and io in such words as receive and
1 believe, which have the long e sound,
I nor need they feel ashamed to ac-
Knowieage it, for many "grownups"
confess to the same weakness. There
Is a very simple rule, however, easily
borne In mind, that will help you for
ever to overcome this doubt. The con
sonants c and s should bo followed by
el and all other consonants by le, ex
cept that In two words siege and
Bleve tho s is followed by ie. Is not
this an easy thing to remember? Chi
