370. A Curious Coincidence. A merchant has 42 clerks, of whom 14 were men with families and the others unmarried. It became necessary for him to discharge two-thirds of his force, which he did ''by lot" in the following manner: He formed the men in lino ixi his store and had the janitor count out every sixth man, going over the line repeatedly without changing the count until the number left was reduced to one-third of the original. 'A curious coincidence" noticed a short time afterward was that the 14 persons retained were the men with families.

One who was in the merchant's confidence explains this state of affairs and shows how the men were arranged before the counting began. What is the explanation? FOR INDOOR PLAY. Bins: Games That Are Easy to Learn and Full of Innocent Fun. No. 380.

Transpositions. made. Two children raise tneir jomeu hands, and the two children standing opposite in the ring cross the center of i the circle. All the others follow after, pass under the "bridge. Then, turning to the right and left respectively, the two lines follow the path of the circles formed first, meet, join hands again, and a new circle is formed.

Another "bridge" appears as if by magic, and the children opposite it lead again through it, the while keeping the merry measure with song and dance.

The best laxative and corrective known. vuuuren never tire of ring games. They like the simple ones best those that do not tax the memory to any great extent "writes Mrs. A. (Jr.

Lewis in Ladies Home Journal. They prefer something -with a catching swing in the rhythm, carrying the same words through many verses, with just enough verbal change to indicate the progress of the game. The game of flowers is simple and sweet. It is played similar to "London Bridge." Two children stand opposite to each other and raise their joined hands. Those forming the ring pass under, while all keep saying or singing, suiting the action to the words they sing: "We're looking about for a daffodil, A daffodil, a daffodil We're looking about for a daffodil; We've found one here." At the word "here" the raised arms gome down and inclose the head of the child who happens at that moment to be passing underneath their hands.

Then all sing: "We find one here we find one here. We're looking about for a daffodil And find one here." "Daffodil" now takes the place of one of the children who caught him or her, then calls out "Buttercup." The children all understand that buttercup instead of daffodil is the word, so they make the lines: We're looking about for a buttercup. A buttercup, a buttercup, etc. The leader may hold a bonnet and give to each child the flower chosen. The next child, "Buttercup," being duly "found," takes the place of "Daffodil," and the child who has held that place goes into the ring.

The newcomer calls out the name of some flower, like bright bluebell, daisy flower or mignonette, and substituting that word they sing as befora Each child tries to be ready with the name of some favorite flower, and the game may close when each child flower has been "found. A game in which the children can run is always a favorite. "Fox" is another ring play, so easy that the smallest children can play it without help. One of the children "fox" stays outside the ring and slyly slaps the shoulder of one of the children. "Fox" runs to the left, the child to the right.

They meet, pass each ether going at full speed around the ring. The one who gets back to the "den" (the place in the ring where the child was standing) may hold that place, and the other must be the fox and try a race with some other child The magic bridge is another popular game. The children join hands and form a ring. If the number is large, there should be four "bridges" at the quarter points of the ring, these being numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4 one opposite 3 and two opposite 4. The bridges are formed by two children, who raise their joined hands for the others to pass under.

The pianist leads with a bright, familiar air, and the children all follow the tune, singing "Tra-la-la, tra-la-la" as they dance and skip along, keeping step to the music. They go one or more times around in a circle, then the leader indicates where a "bridge" is to be No. 382.
