For Evening Gatherings.

A list of amusing forfeits, which will
make the company laugh and not Of
fend the person called upon to pay
them, are herewith given:
|. Put a newspaper upon the floor in
such way that two persons can easily
stand upon it, and not be able to touch
each other with their hands. BY put
ting the paper in the doorway, one
half inside and the other half outside
of the room, closing the door over it,
the two persons can easily stand upon
it, and still be beyond each others
reach.
2. To 60 out Of room with two
legs and come in with six. Not very
difficult if one thinks to bring along a
chair on the return.
3. Put one hand where the other
cannot touch it. One can get out Of
this difficulty by putting one hand or
the elbow of the other arm.
4. Place a pencel on the floor SC
that one cannot jump over it. This
may be done by putting it close to the
wall of the room.
5. Put question that no one cal
answer with a "no." This is not hare
if one thinks to ask, "What doe
yes spell?"
6. Push chair through a fnge
ring. This forfeit is made by putting
the ring on the finger and pushing tn
chair-any other object will do as wei
with the finger.
Z. Put yourself through a keyhole
This was great puzzle to us for
while, but when piece of paper wa
taken with the word yourself writer
upon it, and pushed through the hole
it was all clear.

Thomas Jefferson as a Fiddler.

Jefferson used to solace himself, amid
the arduous labors of the legal profes-
sion and the cares of the state, with the
violin, on which he was an excellent
performer. At one period of his life,
when he was a member of the Cont
mental Congress, and at the same time
the foremost lawyer and statesman of
his own state, he used to practice three
hours day on his favorite instrument,
under the tutelage Of the famous Italian
violinist, Albert. This, with the
laying out of his grounds at Monticello,
in which he took such pride, cOnstitu-
ted his only relaxation from the
weighty duties and responsibilities
which his admiring and trusting coun-
trymen so persevered in bestowing on
him. Far into the night the mellow
tones of his beloved violin foated from
the heights of Monticello, or from the
old "Apollo" tavern, where he and
Patrick Henry and few choice COM
panlons used to meet for social cheer
and affectionate fellowship; and the
spirits of each and all were enlightened,
soothed and elevated by the sweet,
pure charms Of music.
There is something rather amusing,
yet at the same time ineXpressibly
pleasing, in the thought of the author
of the sublime Declaration of indie.

Thrift and Enterprise.

AS it is undoubtedly the case that
in the highest moral character and in
the finest intellectual development very
opposite virtues and endowments must
co.exist, so in the business of life quail
ties that seem almost contradictory are
needful for the best success. Perhaps
there are hardly any two qualification
which are at once as essential to pros
perity, and yet SO widely different in
their nature, as thrift and enterprise.
They spring from opposite types of
character, they move in contrary di-
rections, they suggest conflicting meth
DDS, and inspire dissimilar aims. The
one is cautious, the other daring; the
one sober, the other enthusiastic the
one calm and patient, the other eager
and impetuous; the one makes sure of
little, the other is willing to risk
much. Yet both minister to the same
resuls-both are needful to any good
degree of success.

Rather Lazy.

An Irish nobleman, riding along a
country road in Ireland, saw very fat
boy doing by the road side.
(Which is the way to Macroom, my
lad ?" asked the nobleman.
THAT way" replied the boy, lazily
moving the toe of his foot in the direc-
ton of the place.
Astonished at his extreme laziuess,
my lord dismounted. r.
"Boy," said he, "if you can show
me lazier act than that will give you
half a crown"
The boy eyed him speedily for a
moment and, turning half over on his
side, he muttered,
"Put it in my pocket sor." He got
the half crown. .t-.-

A Rich Man Starved to Death.

Starvation! Good gracious, the
man was worth $50,00Ow
81 know that; nevertheless, he died
of starvation. I'll tell you how it was.
Jones was always fancying that there
was something the matter with him;
so he went to doctor one day and
had himself examined, and the doctor
informed him that he had kidney dis
ease, and that besides taking medicine,
he must diet himself. Said the doctor
"You must avoid all kinds of salt meat,
salt fish, potatoes, cabbageand vegetables
of every kind" Jones followed the
advice, but found himself no better.
He went to another doctor, and after
being examined, was informed that he
must avoid all kinds of fresh meat also.
This did not do him any good, as he
thought, and he went to another doctor,
who highly approved of the advice
which had previously been given, and
further warned him against all kinds of
pastry, likewise shell fish, including
oysters and CLANS. ,"The best thing
for you is milk diet, said the doctor;
so Jones lived entirely on milk. Not
feeling himself any better he went to
another doctor, who advised him to
avoid milk above all things if he
wanted to get well. This reduced
Jones to diet of cold water and fresh
air, and finding himself no better under
this regime, he went to another doctor,
who advised him to beware of drinking
too much water and being too much
in the air. This last advice cut off the
last of Jones articles of diet, and he
died Of starvation, as told you"

Fish as Food.

Sir Henry Thompson recently de-
livered lecture on "Fish as Food"
1t was an able summary of the known
facts about fish, but Sir Henry went
too far in his denunciations of the no.
ton that fish eating increases brain
power as complete fallacy." 1t has
long been perfectly well known to
Psychologists that the phosphorus theory
must be discarded, butt is fact
beyond dispute that fish is form of
food which is easily digested, and
proves specially nutritive to the bodies
of brain workers. Sir Henry Thomp-
son thinks that the only way it acts is
by putting mans body into proper re-
lation with the work he has to do.
This may be quite true, and doubtless
is SO, but the brain is an integral part of
the body. Moreover, it comprehends a
considerable number of the most i'm
portant centers of the nervous system,
whence the body as a whole derives its
power. Therefore, in putting mans
body improper relation with his work,
fish may chiefly act by supplying his
nervous system with specially available
nutrlment.- Lancet.

Get Out of the Rut.

Domestic Monthly.
Every man or woman who Yields
the pen will be ready to admit that he
or she is liable to fall into a groove of
expression, and will habitually use
certain words and phrazes, while ignor-

others equally good or better from their
vocabulary. This is precisely the case
of the conscientious housewife. She is
apt to get into a groove with her me-
nus. Certain dishes become associated
with her hospitality; certain others are
never to be hoped for at her table.
Occasionally she makes new depart

Farm Life.

ST.. Louis Republican.
There is no foolish notion that more
urgently needs to be exploded than the
prevalent one which makes country
life below the ambition of a young man
of education and spirit, and which re-
CARDS towns and cities as the only places
where men rise to distinction and USE
fulness. Farming is called a tame and
monotonous vocation, indeed, but can
anything better be claimed for the
plodding, exacting and exhaustive pur.
suits which nine>tenths of those who
live in cities are compelled to follow !?
1t is great mistake to suppose that
the population Of city is made up of
great capitalists, proprietors and mer.
chants, manufacturers, eminent law.
yers and surgeons, and that it is an
easy thing for young man endowed
with the quality of "smartness" to
achieve wealth and distinction, or even
independence in the fierce. pitiless
whlrl of city life, The wrecks to be
encountered on city streets every day
disprove it. Comparatively few per.
sons amass fortunes in cities, and fewer
still retain them. So true is this that
it is safe to predict, in FIVE cases out Of
ten, of wealthy business men in middle
life, that they will die penniless.
Farming is not subject to these rapid
and ruinous changes. In this pursuit
industry, economy and good manage
ment, aided by the increase which
time itself brings, will insure a compe
tence in fifteen or twenty years; and j
