"The Newest Game"

The newest game takes the form of an
information party, and is begun by pass
ing to each gentleman a card and to the
ladies small pieces OF paper, which should
be numbered. Those who discover the
same number on their card and paper are
partners for the game. Each couple
must think of question, sensible or
ridiculous, historical OF in regard to the
weather, to be written on the cards, after
which the cards are to be gathered to-
gether, and the leader reads each in turn,
giving few moments for the partners to
consider the subject and write the answer,
which should be read aloud in turn.
This is where the fun of the game begins,
as many of the answers are exceedingly
queer. Those having a correct answer
mark their cards 10, a wrong answer 0,
and if the answer is anywhere near right
it is counted 5. When all ale added
prizes may be distributed as in pro-
gressive games for the best and the
poorest record. The instructive part of
the game is the discussion which follows
the questions. The height of the Bunker
Hill monument is what everybody living
near it ought to know, and yet at an in
formation party held a few evening ago
only one person in a company of twenty
was sure of the exact number of feet

The Centennial at Philadelphia.

At Philadelphia the centennial ami
versary of the Declaration of Independ-
ence was celebrated in 1876 with the first
really successful worlds fair ever at
tempted on this side of the Atlantic.
Every preparation was made with care
and forethought. A popular subscrip-
ton was started and money poured in
from every part Of the country. The
work was really begun in 1870. Con-
gress appropriated 81, 500, 900, and from
other sources the sum was brought up to
Ss,500, 900, and the receipts ran up to
about 81, 100000. The display included
exhibits from almost every civilized and
uncivilized nation in the world. Fair
mount Park was visited by very nearly
10000, 900 persons during the 15s days
days of the show, and the result, while
not a monetary success, was in every
other respect more than the most sanguine
had anticipated Chicago Times.

Queer Inventions.

A genius from Ohio with warlike pro-
clivities, claims to have perfected a
bullet-proof shield. The soldier is sup
posed to carry it before him when in bat
tie, and is so made that the bullets of the
enemy are expected to glance off. The
shields are so formed that they may be
locked together and form breastworks for
the entire army. The fellow who suffers
from cold is recommended to procure a
foot-warmer, kindly conceived by o
Hoosier. Two miniature lamps are in
closed in boxes connected by hollow
tube; midway between the boxes there is
vent in the. tube by which the surplus
heat passes away. The feet rest on the
hollow tube, the lamps supplying the
warmth.
Roger Connor, 'sBuck" Ewing and
Danny Richardson and other sluggers are
reminded that baseball bats have been
discovered which, the inventor claims,
will materially improve their averages.
The core is bored from the stick, and a
metallic Etube inserted. Nuts are screwed
to the ends of the tube. Balky horses are
treated to bandages fastened to wagons
which, kick as they may, they cannot
smash.
1t may not be generally known that
Abraham,L Lincoln once essayed to become
an inventor. The product of his skill
shows series of bellows-shaped contri-
vances which are supposed to be used to
lift beached steamer into water of
proper depth.-MeD York Press.

Unearthing Ancient Skeletons.

A most remarkable story reached Den
yer from Aspen, COL, regarding an un-
expected find in one of the principal
mines on the Aspen Mountain. On a
recent Thursday night the night shift in
the Minnie mine, Messrs. Donnelly,
Mackey, Taylor and Gil6llan, put in two
thirty-inch holes in the breast of the
4OO-foot level, and fired the blast just
before leaving for the surface. On re-
turning to the mine it was found that
the two shots had broken into a cave,
which they explored.
Going in few feet they found the
walls covered with crystalized lime and
lead that glittered like diamonds. Here
and there little stalactites hung from the
ceiling. The lime formation resembled
lace and frieze work of wondrous beauty.
The cave had descent of about twenty
degrees, and they found rooms and
chambers grand beyond description.
They had entered about 200 feet when
they found flint axe. A little further
was pool of fresh water, and a strong
current of fresh air was felt. Further on
q chamber was discovered covered with
a brownish muck that was sticky. Gil
fillan, who was in the lead, suddenly
stopped and said:
"There sits a boy"
Sure enough there sat Va human form.
The head was resting on the knees, and
the arms were drawn around the legs,
Indian fashion. A stone bowl and axe
were found beside the figure. The body
was well preserved, but in trying to lift
it one arm broke off. Other bodies in
different attitudes were found in the
chamber, but when disturbed they crum-
bled. One body was brought out with
the loss of arms and feet.-Ne,0 York

The Making of Hangmen's No0ses.

dropped into an uptown stationery
store the other day. Itwas one Of these
stores that outfit banks and county Offices
throughout the country, store where
everything from steel pen to a forty
quire blank-book is kept for sale. The
house has a dozen travelling statesmen on
the road. A clerk in the store was filling
an order just received from one Of the
statesmen. Going to the elevator chute in
the rear of the store he yelled to clerk
or porter on one of the upper floors
"Jimmy, send me down two hangmen's
ropes" Jimmy responded, and in few
minutes down he came with the ropes.
"Now those are daisies, he said, turn
ing to The Man About Town. "You
wouldn't have thought that we sold ropes
to hang men, would you7 See here, "
and he took one of the ropes from a neat
little paper box in which it was coiled,
sit has the regulation knot already tied
in it, so that all the Sheriff has to do is to
adjust the moose to fit the neck of his
victim. The ropes are made in this city
out of a superior quality of hemp, and they
are sold for So each, which is very low
price for them, considering the fact that
they are absolutely safe. Everyone we
sell has the guarantee of the manufacturer
on the box that it has been tested by
dropping iron weight. If the Christian
County Sheriff, who made such disgrace
full scene at the hanging of the Bald
Knobbers, had hanged his men with ropes
like these he would have saved the State
from disgrace.",-,St. Louis Republic.

The Theory Of Dew.

It is now held by the best physicians
that, instead of falling from above, the
dew arises from the earth. The generally
received opinion that the dew is formed
of vapor existing at the time in the at
mosphere must be given up for the estab-
lished fact that the vapor which arises
from the heated earth, is trapped by the
cold surface earth. Besides, when we
imagine that on a cool evening after
sultry day in summer, our feet are being
wet by the dew on the grass. we make
grave mistake. For that moisture on the
grass is not dew at all, it is false dew
in reality the transpired humor of the
plants. The drops at the tips which
glisten diamond-ike, are not dew; close
examination shows that crystalline
spheres are all situatedSit the points where
the veins of the leaves cut the outer
edges. These drops only give evidence
of the vitality Of the plant.
The difference between the true dew on
the grass and the exuded drops through
the veins from within the grass can be
easily distinguished, for the former IS
distributed all over the blade in a moist
film, whereas the latter are of some size,
and are situated near the tips of the blade.
Altered then is the meaning of the line:
ssIlka blade O. grass keeps its ain drap O.
dew" for these brilliant globuies Oh the
peta,,, shaking &c tie somc sweet air, and
eften "gliding at once all fragrant into
one," are no dewdrops, but are exuda-
tions of the healthy plants. They give
evidence of the elixir vitae of vegetation;
whereas, the true dew is the pearly lustre,
vanished in flmy humidity over the
blades by that wondrous alchemy which
transforms the water vapor rising from
the ground into the plant-refreshing dew.

mer. For one chicken we used an equal
bulk ofcelery, four eggs, one tablespoon.
full of mixed mustard, one teaspoontul OF
salt, two tablespoonful of butter, two
thirds of a teacupful of vinegar, and
two-thirds of a cupful of sweet cream.
Season the chicken in cooking. Cut the
chicken and celery with shears-you will
find this better way than usinga knife,
and it can be more quickly done. We
used both ll;ggBBS and dark meat. Beat the
eggs; and stir the butter in gradually;
then mix together the other ingredients,
except the cream, and place them on the
stove, in granite or earthen dish, and
allow it to cook until it is as thick as
pound cake. When it is cold, add the
cream, stirring it thoroughly in, and
pour over the chicken and celery. This
should be poured over about an hour be-
fore serving. We prepared the chicken,
celery and dressing, all but the cream,
the day before the picnic. In the morE.
ing, before starting, we added the cream
to the dressing, poured it over the
chicken, and found it very nice at lunch
time. Some lettuce leaves, washed,
sprinkled, carried in tin box and spread
on the regulation wooden picnic plates,
made very pretty foundation for oul
salad. We carried few hard boiled
eggs, and arranged few slices around
each plate, on the lettuce leaves.
