There is a Jolly indoor game for the
winter called "Fagot Gathering, which
has been described in print before, but
il makes sc much fun that many who
have never heard Of il viii be glad If we
tell about il here.
First you take some slips of paper-as
many as there are players-and on one
Of them you write Fagot Gatherer;"
on each Of the rest write either good
wood or snapper" making three
times as many good woods as "snap-
pers. OF course, anybody who knows
anything about wood fires viii see that
some sticks will burn quietly and bright
" while others viii crack and snap and
fly without the least warning. You put
the papers into hat, and each player
takes one, telling nobody what is written
on il. Every one then sits as near TO
the wall as possible, leaving a clear
space in the middle of the room, and the
player who has chosen the "Fagot-
gatherer proceeds in a serious, busis
ness like way 10 bundle his fagots. He
or she chooses four or five girls or boys,
standing them together 10 represent
fagot, and then makes similar groups Of
the rest in other parts OF the room.
This done, he begins to bind the
fagots by walking slowly around each
group, making with his arms such
motions as a fagot binder would make
The sticks are quiet until the binder
lets his arms fall, but then comes a sud
den change; the " good woods run to
their seats, but the "snAppers chase
the binder" and try 10 touch him be-
fore he can begin 10 bind another
fagut, failing in this they have to go
and mourn among the "good woods. "
Then the binding of the second /" fagot"
goes on, like that OF the first. But when
a "fagot gatherer is touched, the
4" snapper takes the place Of the
4" gatherer, who goes and rests himself
The game ends when all the "fagots
have been used up In this way, and its
then begun again by another selection
Of papers from a hat. The fun is in the
rights and surprises of the &" fagot
gatherer," who, of course, does not know
who is a "good wood and who
A" snapper aud all do their best to
avoid betraying themselves. II you have
a good big room and lots of players you
viii find this game as full of fun as you
can wish. ST Nicholas.

Recent IAmerican Earthnnakes.

Professor G. q. lockwood. Jr., CON
tributes % the American Journal Of
AcitIIco and Arts u record of the earth
quAkes which have occurred ON the
American continents from May 10, 1876,
10 November Is, 1877. These aggregate
about siXty-tivc distinct shocks, the dis
tubution Of which is approximately as
follows: California, thirteen Tern
tories, nine; Canada and Eastern States,
nine Southern States, eight Western
States, seven; Middle States, four :;
Central America, three South America,
seven West Indies, three, and Sand
wioh Islands, two.
The severest earthquakes reported are
those which occurred on MAY - and
November 1, 1877. The first was q
series of severe shocks lasting four or
five minutes and followed by destruc-
tive tidal wave along the coast Of Peru
and Chill. On the Peruvian coast the
wave WAS from twenty to sixty feet high,
and caused immense destruction in the
harbors. Ii is supposed 70 have origi-
mated near Iquique, and Its average rate
of progress was to Callao DDS miles per
hour, 10 San Francisco 34S miles, TO
Honolulu 4OS miles, and to Australia
SIS miles.
The earthquake which occurred on
November { was felt throughout a large
part Of Canada, New York, and
New England. In some places il
lasted for twenty seconds reports
from Others fix its duration NJ four or
five minutes. In the valley Of the St.
Lawrence river the vibration WAS suf-
ticient "a overturn crockery, crack cell
ings, and IN few eases to throw dowu
chimneyS
