PICTORIAL ANAGRAM PUZZLE.

[Illustration]

The answer--a line from Young's "Night Thoughts"--contains six words.

Each numeral beneath the pictures represents a letter in that word of
the line which is indicated by the numeral--1 denoting that the letter
it designates belongs to the first word of the line, 4 to the fourth
word, and so on.

Find a word, letters, or a letter, descriptive of each picture, and
containing as many letters as there are numerals beneath the picture
itself. This is the first process. Then write down, some distance apart,
the figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, to correspond with the words of the
answer. Group beneath figure 1 all the letters designated by the numeral
1 in the numbering beneath the pictures. You will thus have in a group
all the letters that spell the first word of the line, and these
letters, when set in the right order, will spell the word itself. Follow
the same process of grouping and arranging, in making the remaining five
words of the answer. Of course, the re-arrangement of the letters need
not be begun until all of them have been set apart in their proper
groups.

RIDDLE.

A head have I, though never do I think;
A mouth as well, but with it never drink.
A body, too, is mine, of giant growth and strength,
Combining with its force majestic length.
But, as to feet, of them I have not one,
Though I am never still, but always run.
Ne'er was I known to leave my lowly bed,
Or ope my mouth so that I might be fed.
