DOMESTIC.

a CIRCLE Is made, and piece Of
tape string .ls obtained suflicient'y y
long to reach all around the inside
A ring Is then slipped on to 1t and the
ends are tied together. Each of the
players lakes hold of the tape or string
with both hands, ana the person whom
lot or choice has marked oht for the
victim, standing in the middle of the
circle, is next made to turn around
thrre times (without shutting his eyes
or submitting to any other disadvant-
age), and Is then let Loose to hunt for
the ring. The object OF the rest or the
players Is, Of course, to prevent his
catching 1t. and they pass 1t from one
to another, covering it with their
hands as rapidly rs possible. If con-
stant backward and forward motion
Of the hand is kept up, 1t will be found
extremely difficult to discover where
IL Is SO as to stop it bef IRE 1t disappears.
AS In the fairy tale, 1t will often be
seen to CLEAN, but only to disappear
when all effort Is made to grasp it, and
the victims only chance is the great
est possible rapidity in opening ana
shutting every hand round the circle,
to each Of which he has Immediate ac-
cess as soon as he has touched it. 1t
Is unfair to pass the ring from under
hand after 1t has been touched and
before 1t has been opened, and the
player IN whose possession it Is finally
FOUND becomes in turn the victim.

To, All Our Friends.

Having had numberleas inquiries for
advertising cards from ladies in all
parts of the country who are interest
cd In the prevailing fashion Of making
"Card Collections" we are having
printed for them set OF seven beau IT,
ful cards, each in six colors and on q
gold background, in the very highest
degree of art, illustrating Shakespeare g
"Seven Ages of Man." We have spared
no expense in these cards--they are
simply little art gems. Our only aim
has been to publish the finest cards vet
shown. Applications tor them have
come In so rapidly that nearly the
whole edition is engaged before the
receipt by, us of the cards from the
artist. Wehave therefore been Obliged
to adopt the. following plan for tue dis
trlDutiOn Of the remainder: No more
of the GIT Shakespeare cards, seven IN
the series, will be sent excepting upon
the receipt of statement from grocer
that the person applying for the cards
has bought Of him on that day at least
seven bars of Dvbb;ns' Electric Soap,
with price paid for same. Az apply.
Ing In this manner soiN receive the full
set OF seven cards gratis bv mail. This
VIII insure us that our friends and pa
irons got their share of these beautiful
designs, although 1t in no manner re-
pays us for the cost of the cards. Your
grocer has the soap or will get 1t, aid
the purchase by you of seven bars of
1t at one time will secure for you gratis
seven really beautiful cards. Tho soap
improves with age, and Is an article of
necessity In your house every week.

useless article, but one that you must
have anyway. Please send us your
application at once, and tell your lady
friends making "Card Collections" to
