Pare some large apples that are rather of a yellow tint; cut several

pieces out of them, in the shape of a candle-end, round, of course, at
the bottom, and square at the top; in fact, as much as possible like a
candle that has burnt down within an inch or so
Pare some large apples that are rather of a yellow tint; cut several
pieces out of them, in the shape of a candle-end, round, of course, at
the bottom, and square at the top; in fact, as much as possible like a
candle that has burnt down within an inch or so. Then, cut some slips
out of the insides of sweet almonds, fashion them as much in the shape
of spermaceti wicks as you can, stick them into your mock candles,
light them for an instant, so as to make their tops black, blow them
out again, and they are ready for use. When you produce them, light
them (the almond will readily take fire, and flame for a few moments),
put them into your mouth, chew and swallow them one after another.

A very old way is to toss up two coins, sometimes boys carry such

things, though never for long

Should he at last succeed in reaching home-base untouched, he has the

privilege of ‘putting in’ the best batter on his side, and there are
then two men in and a better chance to score

Select two pieces of ribbon, alike in length, breadth, and color;

double each separately, so that the ends meet; then tie them together
neatly, with a bit of silk of their own color, by the middle, or
crease made in doubling them
Select two pieces of ribbon, alike in length, breadth, and color;
double each separately, so that the ends meet; then tie them together
neatly, with a bit of silk of their own color, by the middle, or
crease made in doubling them. This must all be done in advance. When
you are going to exhibit this trick, pass some rings on the doubled
ribbons, and give the two ends of one ribbon to one person to hold,
and the two ends of the other to another. Do not let them pull hard,
or the silk will break, and your trick be discovered by the rings
falling on the ground on account of the separation of the ribbons.
Request the two persons to approach each other, and take one end from
each of them, and without their perceiving it, return to each of them
the end which the other had previously held. By now giving the rings,
which appeared strung on the ribbon, a slight pull, you may break the
silk, and they will fall into your hand.

If all the players succeed in doing this without losing their hats,
the next cry is ‘Hats in the water.’ As the leader goes over he shakes
his hat off and all the others must follow his example.

During the autumn and when the weather is dry and the nights not too

cool, the best way to camp is in the open, sleeping on beds of boughs,
about a roaring fire, and with one blanket under and another over

We divide this exercise into standing and running jumps, and each of

these can be subdivided into high and broad jumps

When the wolf guesses the number corresponding to his own, he does not

have to pursue, for his double becomes the wolf, and he is changed
into a sheep
