btion by the Italian Government.
1t is expected That 1900 French

chants of Paris, will exhibit At the

elegant marble mansion, on Chest
mt and ThirLy-ninth streets, in
w est Philadelphia, for his use during
the Centennial Exposition, the con-
sideration being $50 OOO
Among the living curiosities
which the Government building will
contain, will be groups of real In

who will cook, eat and sleep in their
own wigw ans. They are to be ex-
hibited under the auspices Of the In
dian Bureau.
The Centennial Commissioners

There is a gift for our father said
Paribonou, or Flower of the Daisy
and, as she spoke there was curious,
hidden laughter in her voice. There
is gift that our father will value
more than all elsa package with
his name on it, from a distant

They did not look at Daisy, who
was trembling, and whose hand
scarcely possessed strength enough to
draw letter from her bosom.
Uncle John continued
"And Abou- ben-darling said .

The letter was written to Daisy by
her brother Edmund. He had been

trading vessel to California -encoun-
tered Charles Worthington roaming
about in the gold regions-they had
specialized there and made great
fortune-and We're coming home in

As old Joe grew faint, Pet sudden
ly ran behind his mothers apron, ut
terng an appalling scream.
AT the door stood a tall young man
with ferocious beard.
'How are you, father, and mother,
and uncle, and Daisy?'
They ran to his arms, uttering cries
and sobs. The sailor was home again
newer to leave them more; and, as
Daisy rested in her dear brothers
arms, with her rosy cheek upon his
breast, she said, laughing and crying:
Father, dear, how do you like your
Christmas gift?
The windows shook as she spoke =
it was doubles the merry COLLINS
highly pleased with themselves and
every body else :; and the holy night,
the happy blessed night, went on its
way full Of JOY and gratitude.
A year afterward strange to say
Christmas came again and saw
the house of Worthington Brothers
prosperous, and old Joe happy, aad
Charles the husband of Flower of the
Daisy. And again the cedar tree
was lit, and spread around cheerful
light, and the loud wind laughed, and
the merry COLLINS seemed to shout
"A merry, merry Christmas :"

Holiday Games.
THE GAME OF TAPES.


Each person holds piece by one
end The other ends are grasped,
like so many single reins, in the
hands Of the leader of the game,
whose place is consequently in the
center of the ring. When be calls
out Loose! 2 every body must tig hten
their tape. When he gives the word
of command, Tight they must
slAcken it. 1t is an experiment in
the rule of contraries, showing how
much we are the creatures of habit.
A forfeit is exacted from every per-
son who literally obeys the word of
command.
BLINDMANs BUFF.
This game can be played with
wand, wnich relieves it of the ten
dency to romp. The blindmsn with
long wand is placed in the middle
of the room the players stand
around him, hand-inohand, singing a
chorus They suddenly cease, aud
the blindmau stretches out his wand
until it touches somebody, who is
Obliged to take hold of it by the end.
The bllndman repeats a few words
(anything will do), which the person
holding the wand must initiate. 1T
recognized by the voice he must
pay a forfeit take the blindman's
place.
sNAPDRAG0N.
A quantity of raisins are placed in
bowl Che broader and shallower it
is the better,) and brandy or some
other spirit is poured on the fruit
au4 isnited The by-staniers now
endeavor by turns to grab a raisin,
by plugging their hands through the
flames, and as this some what of feat
requiring both courage and raDidity
of action, "a considerable amount of
laughter and amusement is created
at the expense of the unsuccessful
competitor.
While the sport of snap dragon is
going on it is usual to extinguish the
lights in the room, so that the lurid
glare from the flaming spirits may
exercise to the full It's weird-like
effect.
FORFEITs.
Fcrfeits should be as ingenious and
unexpected as possible. New ones,
invented on the spur of the moment,
are sure to meet with signal success.
But no one should venture to play at
forfeits who has net, in the fr7t
place, perfect command of temper
or who cannot, secondly, while 10
the height of merriment, observe the
rules OF fine breeding and decorum.
In no class of forfeits is good
breeding more indispensable than in
that which involves the act Of kiss
ing. Oar forefathers practiced them
innocentiy, and so, it is hoped, may
we; and therefore, without further
preface or sermon, We will give a
few examples. beginning with the
tantaIizing position of being a knight
of the Sorrowful Countenance. In
this, the person to pay the penalty
takes his seat on q chair, when q
lady comes and sits upon his knees,
to be kissed by another gentleman.
