In evening games, it often becomes nec essary to punish some one or more of the company by imposing a " forfeit." The penance should be something that either is not easy to follow out to the letter that is, has some catch in H or puts the person in a conspicuous and amusing light. In all cases a forfeit should be designed to amuse the company as a whole, and never to offend the person called upon to pay it. In order to illustrate our idea of a good forfeit, and also to furnish suggestions to those who enjoy and take part in such pleasant amusements, we give a few of the forfeits that may be imposed. U-J rut a newspaper upon the floor in nch a way that two persons 'can stand on It and not be able to touch each other With their hands. This forfeit has the honor of being old. - -- - not our irooa fortune to nreet it nntil a short time 'ago, and be forced, to "give it un." By putting the paper in a doorway, one half inside and the other half outside of the room, and closing the door over it. the two Krsone can easily stand upon it aud still beyond each others reach. (a.) To go out of the room with twn oer and come in with six. Not difficult it ' person thinks to brim? a chair alon nn t.h return. : (3.) To act the dumb sprvnnt. Tlian. on who has the 'forfeit to pay must act out the answers to the questions put by the master of the ceremonies; as, how do yon make bread T How do you eat soup ? etc. This forfeit will cause much merri ment if proper questions are put. (4.) rut one band where the other rn. not touch it. One can get out of this dif ficulty bv putting one hand on the ellmvr of the other arm. (5.) Place a pencil on the floor so that one cannot jump over it. May be done by nut ting it close to the wall of the room. (t.) I'ut a question that no one can an swer with a NO! That is not hard if one stops to ask. What does Y-K-S spell ? (.) 1'ush a chair thronirh a finmr rln. This forfeit is made bv mittintr the rinvnn the finger and pushing the chair any other object will do as well with the fin ger. This last much resembles the next.

There are many others of these amnsing little tricks, but tho?e given will suggest others, and help to make the social winter gatherings the enjoyable times they should A Bridegroom of a Day. The New York Herald relates a dra matic incident in real life which is seldom exceeded in tragic intensity by writers of romance. Paul Loeblen and Jennie Ixmx were married. The following day, after Loeblen had been called to perform work of a more laborious character than usual, he retired to rest. The bride made inqui ry concerning his whereabouts. When told he was up-stalrs sleeping she ran up gayly and knocked at the door. There no iMpnwa t. koa ra-neatad captain. and she pushed the-door in. Paul !

She entered tne room and was surprised to find herself in darkness and oppressed by a strong odor of gas. ! is me, rasi, sue cnea. ouip your fooling." . ? tyuki mere was no response, -x re nappy bride ran over to the bed upon which her husband lay, and, taking hold of him, shook him soundly.

Mary was shown to be the commonest name of all. it distinguished fi,MV girts out of the 50,000 called as witnesses, and designated a larger number of individuals than any other appellation, male or female. William came next, naming 6,590 out of' the numbers mentioned. Mary is the great name saint of the latter Middle Ages, -ow ing its original popularity to the exagger ated reverence paid in those days to the Mother of our Lord. Yet the Reformation itself, followed by Puritanism, was power less to dislodge it from the position which pre-Reformation views had assigned to it, for it had already became deeply endeared to the people by family usage. Hence the denominational expression of Mariolatry was lately, and probably is now, the com monest .name in Protestant England. William came to this country as a baptism al appellation with the Conqueror, whose " might made right 800 years ago." It was pre-emineuuy uiiukcijt, mupiuci ihk conditions of its introduction, to secure popular approval. But in time personal association won for it a victory as decisive as its ducal hearer had won tor .wormanay at Hastings. The many leading men who bore the Conqueror s name passed it on largely no doubt to those oi lower vranx. who loved their service; the same went on In humbler circles stilL At lasVby repe tition, William became so common mat u nrlc-inated. as it la said, more surnames than any-other baptismal appellations. trooa r orus. V Peculiar Race or Hnmtn Beings Tke Apollo Type In Africa, i;;:. A more remarkable or unique race does not exist on she continent of . Africa In deed, I might safely say la the two hem ispheres. In their physique, manners and customs and religious beliefs they are dis tinct alike from the true negroes and from the Galla and Somali. They are the most magnificently modeled savages I have seen or even read of. Beautifully propor tioned, they are characterized by the smooth and rounded outline of the Apollo type, rarely 'showing the knotted and brawny muscles of the true athlete.. The women are very decently dressed in bul lock's hide. They wear, by way of orna ment, from 20 to 80 pounds of thick iron wire coiled , round tha limbs, arms and neck, besides a great assortment of beads and iron chains, The men wear only j- small kid skin garment u4 shoqjl 4m ana nreast, that being of somewhat more ample dimensions among the mar ried men. The most remarkable ' dis tinctions characterize the various epochs in the life history of the Masai. "The boys and girls up to a certain age live with their parents, and feed upon curdled milk,' meat, and grain. At the age of IS with the girls, and from 13 to 14 years with the boys, they are sent from the married men's kraal to one in which there are only young unmarried men and women. There they live till they are married. At this stage the men are warriors, and their sole occupation is oattle lifting and amusing themselves at home. The young women attend to the cattle, bnild the huts, and perform other necessary household duties. Both sexes are on the strictest diet. Ab solutely nothing but meat and milk passes their lips. Spirits and beer, tobacco, or vegetable food are alike eschewed. So pe culiar, indeed, are they in their notions that they will not even eat the meat of any wild animal. Moreover, the meat and milk are never taken together. For sev eral days the one is their sole diet, to be followed hy the other after partaking of a powerful purgative. On killing a bullock they drink the blood raw, which doubtless supplies them with the necessary salts. In eating meat they always retire to the forest in small parties, accompanied by a young woman. So pleasant does the Masai warrior find this life that he seldom marries till he has passed the prime of life and begins to find his strength decline. The great war spear and heavy buffalo hide shield; the sword and the knobkerry, are then laid aside. For a month he dons the dress of an nnmarried woman, and then becomes a staid and respectable mem ber of Masai society. He goes no more to war, but devotes himself to the rearing of a brood of young warriors; His diet changes with his mode of life, and he may indulge in vegetable food, drink beer or spirits, and smoke or chew tobacco. At death the body is simply thrown out to the hyenasand the vultures. 'llirauyh MasaU Land Joseph Thomson. j, Tne Chinese Telephone. At the last meeting of the China Asiatic Society at Shanghai an instrument, which was a 'species of primitive telephone, was presented for inspection by Dr. Macgowr an, of Wenchow. It consisted of two bamboo cylinders, from 1 1-2 to 8 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length; one end Of each was closed by a tympanum of pig bladder, which s was perforated for the In plBhfSSlX1. stroment is - called the " listening tubes,'; and is employed for amusement as a toy, conveying whispers 40 to SO feet. ' It is un known in many parts of China,, the pro vinces of Che kiang and Klangsu be In a the only ones, so far' as can be ascertained where the listening tubes are employed.! Besides this toy, Chinese ingenuity pro duced, about a century and a half axo, the " thousand-mile speaker." This in strument is described as a roll of to pi per, likened to a pipe, containing an ar-1 tificlal device; whisperetLlnto, and imme diately closed, the confined message, how ever long, may be conveyed to any dis tance, and thus, in a battle, recent in structions may be conveniently commun icated. It is a contrivance "of extraor dinary merit."

He wrote on occult science, astronomy, and foreign physics, and the above descrip tion of his iuvention was copied from his worksinto a i rovim nil cncyclop dia.

If you are prone to drop to sleep and phut to tie ttp your head in a feather bed aud then insert the whole thing in the linen closet, or if yon cannot secure that you might stick it out of the window and get it knocked off against a tunnel. In the morning is a good time to find out how many people have succeeded in getting on the passenger train who ought to be in the stock car. Generally you will find one male and one femu'e. The male goes into the wash room, bathes his worthless carcass from daylight until breakfast time, walking on the feet of any man who tries to wash his face during, that time. He wipes himself on nine different towels,, because when he gets home he knows he will have to wipe his face on an old door mat. People who have been reared on hay all their lives generally want to fill themselves fnll of pie and colic when they. travel. If you never rode in a varnished car be fore, and never expect to again, you will probably roam up and down tne car. meandering over the feet of the porter while he is making np the berths. This is a irood way to let the people see just how little sense you had left after your brain began to soften. Explaining Some Things. The world learns geography and many other things by means of war. Many of the changes that have been wrought in society have been due to knowledge and prejudices acqnired or removed through years of conflict. II Russia and England conclude to -settle the Eastern question once for all on the boundaries of Afghanis tan, we shall presently be as familiar with the little satrapies of that far distant re gion as we thought ourselves learned on surgical terms when a President recently lay at the point of death. - For the infor mation of all su; h as have a desire to post themselves in advance, it may be said that the Nizan of Hyderbad is an old lopeared despot who has seven hundred wives and wno slices up a inomer-iu-iaw every nine he wants to celebrate : that the Akcond of Swat died a few vears ago, but that the throne is now held by the Swipes of fewat. who will rule until the young Akoond comes out of the bullrushes: that the Begnm of Bopul is a fat old woman V-eiarhinir about three hundred pounds.: who led ner nusoann, rne uiioum oi tsop- ul, to a crocodile anon ten years ago be cause he refused to split wood for break fast, and that the Mudir of Abdurramah is the uncle of the Begum aforesaid and the twin brother of the moon. .With these few lead ins features of - the - situation clearly understood, it will be an easy mat ter to follow the fortunes of war and dip lomacy in the far East and understand ing grasp the developments from day to day. unteaQo aernia. i : : ? Where the Beat Lobsters Are-Taken. The best lobsters In the world are taken off Monhegan in the "winter. 1 hey thrive better in the deep water out to sea than on the shores of the bays where -most of the Maine lobstermen : set ' their trps. The Monhegan fisherman are getting snlendid prices tor their lobsters this year $10 to $10 50 per hundred. Think of that von -neoDie who-think you pay hitrh oriees foi lobsters ! The Jobber aud the retailer have to make profits on these figures. But you probably do not get a shell-fish which are caught at Bristol nr Boothbay or somewhere along there, for which $7.50 per hundred is paid. The Mnn heean lobsters are shipped to New York and Boston. I saw 10,000 of them in a car in Portland Harbor the other day. The lobsters are kept alive in these great cars, tied to the docks, from the time they are taken out of ; the smacks till they can be shipped. A lobster car looks hke a cat tls fjur Mattened out . It is a h u are box suf ficiently open to let the water in and keep the lobsters in. Lobsters are sociable fel lows. It is snort to see them rub -each other's backs and embrace each other, as if bidding their eood-bys. when they are dinned out of the ear aud leave their brine tor good. . They squirm as if they had pre monitions of hot water. Lcwlston Jour' nul. The Boiler-Skating TOaula. , Roller-skating, like every other forms of human exercise, is a blessing in itself, and ssentially a good thing. But, like every other good thing under the sun, it Is liable abuse, and all the more likely to be abused and to lead to dissipation, because in itself fascinating and pleasant. Two forms of excess have snddeulv de veloped themselves in connectiou with the amusement: One Is the frenzy of indulg ing in it at all times and in all places, without regard to the conditions of health and propriety : and the other is the whole sale denunciation of the pastime as essen tially evSl and ruinous. We are satisfied mat neither is the correct attitude. Skating on rollers cannot be morally any more harmful than skating on steel runners ; skating on runners is as proper as dancing; and dancing is no more de moralizing than walking. But one mar easily walk too much, dance too much, or skate too much ; or may easily skate, walk or oance in tne wrong piaces or at the wrong hours. frank X,estie's. .

As the name was read the manager cave the young man a look that settled him forever on that subject. " Dandy" Jewett is a first-class English pug, and In point of canine intelligence will hold his own with any dog on or off the stage.

" There is room," said a contemporary recently, "for as much tragedy in a hairdresser's wig as ever Hamlet found in the gravodigger's skulls.' I eaving the tragic element out of the question, there is many a wig that, could it tell Its story, would furnish abun dant food for reflection. As I write there "lies in my immediate vicinity a dirty, greasy old -'scratch" wig. Its springs are broken, its net foundation in tatters, and altogether exhibiting signs of a near dis solution. Yet years ago, long before its then owner dreamed of American tours or royal-, patronage, that wig. was worn by Henry Irving in the "Queen Victoria's OwnTheayter" for the part of .
