Planks, floats, bladders and other artificial contrivances are advised
by some, but after swimming for years in nearly all the waters of the
world, I cannot endorse such doubtful assistance. As one cannot
actually swim when supported in this way, it is far better to start in
without them.

I have known cases where a number of boys, living near the water,
bought a sail boat which they owned in common. Each had the right to
its use on a fixed day, though, as they were school fellows, it
happened that they usually went out together. The latter is the better
way, provided always that when the crew starts off for a cruise it is
distinctly understood that one of the number is to be the captain for
the time and is to be obeyed accordingly.

When the sky is clear, the sun and the stars help to guide the course,

and if followed one is saved from travelling in a circle, as the lost
are pretty sure to do in a dense forest

Fat is one of our oldest and simplest marble games

Fat is one of our oldest and simplest marble games. It is played in
this way: Make a ring eighteen inches or two feet in diameter; ten
feet back draw or scratch a taw line to shoot from. If four boys are
playing, each places a marble, as indicated, or if there are more
players the marbles are placed at equal distances about the ring. The
order of the play having been decided on, by shooting or rolling
towards the taw line, the nearness to which decides the question,
number one shoots for the ring, and if he knocks out a marble, he
shoots again from where his taw rests, and so keeps on until he has
missed. Number two knuckles down at the taw line and shoots, as did
number one. If the first taw is within range, he can shoot at that,
and if he hits it, then number one must hand number two all the ducks
he has knocked from the ring. If number two can hit number one”s taw
again, then number one is killed, and must retire from that game.

I have seen boys, and girls, too, playing tag among the Indian tribes

of Arizona
I have seen boys, and girls, too, playing tag among the Indian tribes
of Arizona. The young and ever lightly-clad Mexicans delight in it,
and the Chinese and Japanese youngsters never grow weary of a game
needing so little in the way of equipment, and which is so easily
started, but not so easy to give up, when the spirit of the game has
taken full possession of the players.

Although so simple, there is never monotony in tag

Although so simple, there is never monotony in tag. If you don”t like
one form you can try another, and there are certainly a lot to choose
from. One can have brick, wood, iron, tree or any other kind of object
tag, the principle being that so long as the pursued has his hand on
the object decided on in advance, he cannot be touched.

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.

When I was a boy we had no end of sport in running and diving from a

springboard
When I was a boy we had no end of sport in running and diving from a
springboard. This, as you know, is a long, strong board–the longer
the better–one end of which is firmly fixed in the bank and weighted
with logs or stones; but no matter how weighted you must see to it
that it does not get out of balance.
