Tho Caais of Courtcsying. This is a merry ithvjiq thac Tho Ilouscwi-O tells abuti t. A ll jam liancb in a circlo Ono of tho pnrty _tajt3 running round them on I tho outsido of tho circlo. When passing, ho touches somo ono lightly on tho shoulder. This one immediately leaves tho circlo 1 and also runs round, not, however, after the person who touched him, but in tho opposite direction. When they meet, they must courtesy threo distinct times to each " other and then run on quickly to sc© who will reach tho gap in the circlo first. The winner takes tho vacant place, while his adversary repeats tho running, touching and courtcsying to somo one else, and so the game goes on until each player has had a turn or tho children want a change.

A series has just been brought out liko our Columbian issuo to commemorate an important event in Portuguese history, and indeed the history of tho world in general. This event is the five hundredth anniversary of Prince Henry of Portugal, who was a great navigator and , explorer and is called tho father of modern discovery and geography. The stamps are long in shape, like our Columbian stamps. My Troublesome Children. You think my children good as gold? Well, that's a great mistake, ma'am.
