The Newest Game.

The newest game takes the form OF
an information party, and is begun by
passing to each gentleman card and
to the ladies small pieces of paper,
which should be numbered. Those
who discover the same mum Der on their
card and paper are partners for the
game.
Each couple must think OF question,
sensible or ridiculous, historical or in
regard to the weather, to be written on
the cards, after which the cards are to
be gathered together, and the leader
reads each in turn giving few mo-
ments 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 card 10; wrong answer q, and
if the answer is anywhere near right,
it is counted ). When all are 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 Bunker Hill
monument is what everybody living
near it ought to know, and yet at an
information party held few evenings
ago only one person in company of
twenty was sure OF the exact number Of
| feet.

operations in this country, and that he was
killed in an attempt to rob him of some

know no place better suited for the
study of curious phases OF human
nature than the dining room of hotel
frequented by transient customers.
Some very curious incidents are seen
there. was a witness to one of these
yesterday morning. There entered to
the breakfast table middle-aged man

built young woman whose normally
rudy face was suffused with beet-red
bushes as she ran the gauntlet Of the
eyes directed toward the queer looking
couple of the assembled guests. The

among other things, called for boiled
eggs. When they were brought to
him he disdained to use either egg cup
or glass as receptacle for them, but
carefully emptying them into
saucer he chopped them up with
his knife and fork. BY the
time this operation was complet-
ed the knife was pretty thor
oughly covered with the yoke of the
egg. The manipulation of the instru-
ment, however, soon remedied this by
vigorously applying his tongue to
either side of the blade. He then
reached over the table, and. with the
knife, cleaned" in his primitive man
ner, transferred large section of but
ter from the general dish in the center
of the table to his own plate. The
other guests who occupied seats at that
and neighboring tables were almost
paralyzed with establishment and dis
gust But there was more to come.
After shoveling several knifeloads of
eggs into his mouth the man paused a
moment, and then carefully selected a
good sized mOrsel of white from the
end Of the eggs. Carefully poisin it
on the end of his knife, he held it out
toward his wife's face The lovely
creature opened her more or less
coral lips, absorbed the tempting NOR
sci, and gazed on the donor with a look
of ineffable sweetness. The incident
was quite too funny for anything. and
the denoument amused the spectators
so much that they forgot the disgust
excited in their breasts by the earlier
actions from the visitor of Way back -

Over the Use Of French.
OTTAWA, Ontario, Special Telegram,
Attorney General Martin, of the Manitoba
government returned to Winnipeg
not very we'll satisfied with the result of his
mission to Ottawa, where he had hoped to
secure the assurance of Sir John Macdonald
that the federal government or parliament
would not veto the measure he proposes IN
PRODUCING in the Manitoba legislature

language in that province Members of the
Quebec province threaten that if the French
language is abandoned by the Manitoba gov
eminent, aud as it would have to be by the
federal government, Quebec will refuse to
respect the language OF the English speak
ing minority in that province, and for the
future have all official documents printed in
French only in which language also every
member would have to use when speaking
ing in the Legislature. The changes
the Manitoba government desire,
namely the adjustment of dual
ism in education and language, can
only be done by an address to the British par
lament, and, US it must pass through the DO
miuion parliament first, no matter how Sir
John Macdonald might be able to help it
through, there will be solid French vote
against it. There will be little chance of its
passing. The war of races in Canada is only
now beginning between the two elements
English and French-but where it will end
no one dare to predict.

GROWTH OF EDUCATION.
Annual Report OF the Commissioner
of Education

Annual Report OF the Commissioner
of Education.
WASHINGTON, SpeciaL-H. N. R. Dawson,
the commissioner of education, has filed
with the secretary of the interior his annual
report for the year ended June 80. 1889, in
which he says that from analysis of the sta
tistics of public schools for the decade
1867 to 1867, it appears
that the growth Of the system
considering the whole country, outstripped
during that period, the growth Of popuIa-
ton, the excess of the increase of enroll
ment over the increase in population, six to
fourteen years of age, being 1,6 per cent.
This gain, the commissioner says, is due en-
tirely to the progress of the public schools
in the two Southern sections, and more eE-
pecially in the South Central division. Here
the increase of enrolment shows an excess
over the increase of population probably
never before paralleled in country
so long settled The sentiment in
favor of free schools supported by public
funds, he says, is becoming each year
more universally prevalent The public
school system of the Southern states has
been undergoing III unprecedented develop
ment under laws adapted in each case to
local circumstances, and are now practically
all established on a permanent basis. Col
ored children are apportioned an equal share
of the school fund, unless in the
State of Delaware, and there schools ARE
kept open as long and under as we'll paid
teachers as those of the white children. The
funds for the support of these schools are
furnished mainly by white inhabitants, and
after making due allowance for all the sums
that have been furnished for the education
of the negroes through private sources of
benevolence and through the taxes raised
among themselves, it may still be said that
the children of those once held IN servtude
in the South are being educated by the sons
of their former masters.
