Another game. called noo-giOok-took.
is played by the Eskimo men and boys.
A piece of walrus ivory, about as long
as the forefinger and probably little
larger in diameter, is pierced near the
middle with holes running entirely
through, and as thickly placed as can
be without cutting it in two. Through
each extremity is passed stout sinew
string. one end of which holds it fast to
the roof of the igl0o or tent, while the
other is tied to some heavy object, as a
walrus' skull or a stone, which acts as
a weight and keeps both strings taut.
Some member of the playing party
then puts up something as aprize-a
pair of walrus's tusks, or. perhaps, a
reindeer coat. The players, who stand
in circle around the perforated ivory
cylinder, arm themselves with long,
sharpened sticks. with points small
enough to enter the holes (such as
seal-spears with the barbs removed, or
iron ramrods). and are then ready to
commence; and as the prize-giver gives
a sudden shout of .Yi! Yi!' they all
begin jabbing at the holes. Finally,
some lucky fellow succeeds in thrust
ing the point Of his stick, spear, or ram
rod through one of the holes. when he
loudly shouts '.Yi! Yi!' and pushes the
cylinder aside to show that he is win
ner, and the jabbing ceases. The vic
tor now puts up some new prize,-a
musk-ox robe, or sledge dog, or a
sealskin line.-and the game goes on
as usual until all are ready to stop

Charles Scribners Sons, (23d street,
New York; have just brought out Mr..
Charles Marvin's book: The Russians at
the Gates of Herat" In it the author
gives clear account Of the operations by
which the Russians advanced from Cock
tepe to Merv, from Merv to Sarakhs, and
thence to Pul-i-Khatum, and he appears
to demonstrate that in advancing to the
last named place Afghan territory was
practically invaded. In his chapter on
the boundary question he shows that the
Russians in their staff map of 1881 &C.
cepted the boundary via Sarakhs and Khoja
Saleh. He shows also that as late as 1882
NJ. de Giers in treating with the English
government accepted this boundary; and
he makes i, apparent that the claim that
Penjdeh is not in Afghan territory is alto
gether new pretence having no founda-
ton in fact.

originally in a magazine that seldom

first printed in the North American Re

The critics found fault with Mr.. Bryant S

good sense to utilize the University as a

however, in reality. skin deep; it is

the epidermis comes away you will find

HOW WASHINGTON GIRLS BRACE UP.
The mainia for tea-drinking increases
weekly. writes a Washington corre-
spondent to the St. Louis Globe Demo-

in q dressing-room one announced that
she had had DR.. Johnson's eighteen
cups of tea that day. All gasped at
the idea, and. as she could walk across
the room without staggering, asked
how in the world it happened. She con-
fessed to have taken nine cups during
the afternoon hours while she poured
tea at her mothers reception. and the
others were distributed along through
the day. She takes cup of strong
English breakfast tea every evening at
9 o'clock to buoy her up through an
evenings engagements, and recon-
mended all the other jaded and weary
damsels to try it for the rest of the sea-
son.
Another girl announced that she al
ways took a few grains of quinine as
..pick-me-up," she said, to carry her
through dinner or ball.
A third one owned to relying on beef
tea with little brandy in it. and a
massage treatment from her old nurse
every night and morning, and seemed
to be rather proud of her hygienic
grooming.
A fourth one said that strong coffee
kept her up to the high concert pitch
of the last of the season. But among
the stimulants recommended none
owned up to alcoholic ones, although
the number of punches and the bottles
of the raw material sent up to q popu-
lar society girls room last season was

stopped at.

A SLAVE TO FASHION.

Now that we are considering women

ton Herald, let me incidentally voice
the complaint of friend of mine who
has been husband only few months.
He says that his wife has become a
monomaniac on the subject of physical
improvement. She persistently goes
in for everything that promises to
heighten her charms.
.'She is successful, l presume" l re-
marked BY way of comfort. .'She is a
nuisance, he hotly retorted. '.Do

untrammeled slumberer-such as she
might be, and was. until this crsze

ARE WOMEN HANpsoMER THAN MEN.

ARE WOMEN HANDsOMER THAN MEN.
Inever felt so thoroughly convinced.
writes Clara Belle to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, that women are really hand
somer than men as by the sight of
several of our favorite actors bereft of
mustaches. We have to go smooth
faced all the while, and yet most of US
manage to do it prettily; but there
isn't one man in a hundred whose
countenance can stand on its naked
merits. There is a popular young
actor named John Drew at Days the
ater, and an actress on the same stage
named Ada Rehan. They have been
mimic sweethearts for several years in
modern comedies. This week DAILY is
reviving an old play belonging to a
period when mustaches were unfashion-
able, and the actors concerned in the
representation were ordered to get
clean shaven. They obeyed, though it
is said that they postponed the sacri-
flee until the last hour before the initial
performance. Well, Drew is truly a
frightful object. His revealed mouth
is simply dreadful. Perhaps it misses
the weight of the mustache, and will
gradually come under symmetrical
control. but on the occasion Of its
debut it was a sad wreck. l am told
that Miss Rehan, on first encountering
him in the wings calculated: Good
heavens! is that the mouth have been
kissing all alOng?"

When Senator Sherman was in Cincinnati,
it was whispered about that the visit meant
that the Senator favored the nomination OF
Judge Foraker for Governor. Mr.. Sherman
has just concluded very pleasant little visit
at Columbus, and there seems to be nothing
to prevent General Beattys friends making q
similar Interpretation in bis favor. Senator
Sherman, doubtless, has definite ideas a. to
who ought to be the Republican nominee for
Governor OF Ohio, but, with the Senatorship
again in view, he is too wise to cool the
friendship for himself Of any prominent Re-
publican candidate and his triends-Coldm-

We happen to know that Senator Sher-
man and General Beatty have been very
good friends for long time. When the
Senator was first brought out as a candi.
date for the position he now occupies with
so much honor. over a score OF years ago,
General Beatty, then Mr.. John Beatty, OF
Cardington, Morrow county, was one OF
his most enthusiastic and effective sup
porters. But. for all that, rs the Dispatch
intimates, the Senator will act wisely and
impartially.
