The child called the water sprite stands between and beckons one to cross. This one signals to one on the opposite side, and they run across to exchange places. If touched by the water sprite, the water tprlte and the one touched exchange places, and the game Is continued. tart pair pass is another amusing game. The children stand In twos, one behind the other. One who Is catcher stands In front with bis back to tbe others and calls, "Last couple out!" when the last two In the line

In an ai dele In the St. Nicholas on titled "GUmpses of Child Life In Japan." Illustrated by himself. Theodore Wore* says that two holidays especially for children are obsened by the Japanese during the year. The pne occurs on May 5. and la called "Boys' Day.” and the other, on March 8, ts known as "Girls' Day." or the “Feast of Dolls.' On Boy*' Day the streets present a very bright and festive appearance. as almost every house is decorated with a tall bamboo pole to which one or more large paper fish are attached. The number of flab hung from each pole corresponds to the number of boys In the family. These fish are very cleverly constructed, and are painted so as to present a very natural appearance. They are fastened to the pole by a cord passed through'the Jaws, and openings at tbe mouth and tall allow the wind to blow tbrongh. filling them out and causing' them to plunge to a most lifelike manner. These paper fish vary to length

from three to 20 feet

In many houses, on this occasion, miniature stands of arms, containing swords, spears, tows, banners, and suits of armor, are brought out of kura. or storehouse, and placed view. Some of these toy weapons as carefully made as the real thli and are often very old. having servi on Boys' Day to the same family for many generations. On Girls’ Day almost every household bas more or less of a collection of dolls on vldw. These dolls are carefully packed away, each
