YOUNG FOLKS'CORNER
A Soap Bubble Party.
toufcan amuse auy number of your
child (friends with soap bubbles, ln
ioors'or out. If mother will allow you
to use an old blanket ^spread over n
tabletto make a soft pad. Around this
table • Invite your guests to sit Each
child .should have a little bowl of
Dutchi ware und design and each also
should! have a penny clay pipe.
If you want to be very grand you can
tie the bowls and wind the steins of
the plpvs with baby ribbon.
The bowls should be filled with a
mixture made from boiling shaved cas
tlle soap In water. To every pint of this
a tablespoonful of glycerin should be
added. The pipes should haw a rim of
Boap around the Inside of the bowls,
this making the bubbles grow to an
enormous size.
You may offer little prizes for the
bubble lasting longest, that which Is
must ful! of color and<for the largest
one blown.
Grown people have often enjoyed
bubble parties, and tliere Is no reason
why you youngsters shouldn't make
such an affair a great success.
Names of Animals.
The porcupine gets his name from
two I-atln words - [K>rctis, from which
we get the word pork, and spine, a
thorn, so his name really means a pig
with thorns.
The word lion Is Latin also, from the
word leo. and leopard Is from the same
word and from pardus, spotted, so that
a leopard really means a spotted lion.
The word hippopotamus means river
horse, and rhinoceros comes from two
words meaning nose and horn.
The badger's Latin name Is bliidn
rlns, from the word blada. com (he
was so called because he used to steal
the corn from the fields).
The words elephant, camel and gi
raffe are from eastern languages, gi
raffe coming from two words meaning
long and neck. It la easy to see how
he got that name.
Most of the names of one syllable are
all from Anglo-Saxon. Mouse comes
from mys. so that Is why we have mice
In the Anglo-Saxon.
Pebble CHaaa. 4
I11 this more modern amusement of
the Greek children the leader stands <
among the players, holding a (tebhle be- -
tween the palms of his hands. Each
player extends his hniMls. palm to
palm, and the leader puts his hands (>e
tween the paTms of each player, osten
sibly to drop In the pebble he Is hold
lng. The player who receives the peb c
hie Is chased by the others and may bo
saved only by returning to the leader
and giving the pebble to him. The
chase may liegln as soon as the players
suspect who has the [>ebble, so each 1
player should carefully watch the
hands ami faces of the others to see
who gets It and. as soon as he suspects
one. start to cbase him. Leaders and
players must exercise Ingenuity to keep
the set-ret of the whereabouts of the
pebble, but not after the last pair of <
hands has l>eeu passed. j *
"Kick the Marblea."
Two boys and two marbles are re
quired. The first boy says to the sec
ond, "Kick this marble north, south,
east or west," (minting to one of the
marbles. Only one kick is allowed. If '
he succeeds he wins: If he falls the
other wins. If he puts It north, as or
dered. he may kick again to hit the
other marble. In which case he wins
airaln. If he hits the marble aud goes
north, as ordered, at one kick be wins
double. Each boy tries to leave the
marbles In as dllUcult a position as pos
sible for his successor, and here comes 1
In a peculiarity which makes this game
unique among all games. If the posi
tion In which the marbles are left Is too
dlhicult for the other boy to play he
may refuse to kick and the first boy Is
obi ged to play his own difficult game.
An Egg Trick.
Hold a raw egg on end and spin It on D
a plate or other smooth surface. Quick- j
ly place the hand upon It for an in- t
stain, stopping the motion momenta- f
rily When the hand Is removed the
egg will resume Its spinning. This Is -
because the liquid contents In the shell .
continued to whirl rapidly when your 1
hand stopi>ed the shell, and If it Is e
quickly released the whirling contents
will again set the Shell to spinning.— f

If We Forget.
Suppose the flowers all were blaek
Hoiv sad the butterflies would be!
Suppose the south wind ceased to blow.
Who'd wake the pussy willow buds?
Suppose the raindrops wouldn't fall.
What would the thirsty flowers do?
Suppose the sun forgot to rise.
Who'd wake the sleepy little blrdaT
And lust suppose a tiny boy
Should not remember to be Rood,
How ver / drear the world would bet
How sad the ones who love him so!
Each one must do the very best
To make things cheerful, bright and gay.
Upon each flower, bird and child
The wor d depends for love and Joy.
Upcn the wind, the sun, the rain
The flowers look for strength to live,
And dre ams of wondrous things to b«
Are wakened by the butterfly.
