If you have several colors of cord, so

If you have several colors of cord, SO
much the better.
Treat each package, whether full or
empty, in the same way. A half dozen
ladies will arrange the cords together, and
when you have prepared as many cords as
You have invited guests, twining and in
tertwining them in every possible or i'm
possible way, the room will look like a
labyrinth of strong cobwebs. Very great
care must be taken to secure the cord to
the package, and to tie or otherwise safely
confine it in its hiding place, otherwise
your labor and the pleasure of your guests
will be lost.
When number of cords, twenty-five or
thirty, We will say, have been arranged,
they may be kept together in a variety of
ways until needed. The room may sug-
gest the best arrangement for each host
ess. If each is, in turn, wound around a
reel or large spool, or if all be wound to-
gether on one ball, they may be easily un-
rolled. When the door is open for the
guests, to each in turn is given the end of
a cord, and he is directed to follow the
line, winding as he goes, until he reaches
the end. When twenty or thirty people
are thus engaged in disentangling and un-
crossing so many cords the room presents
a lively appearance. Each is intent on
finding his own prize, and all sorts of
amusing mishaps occur.
When a package is found all the seeke IS
are allowed to pause in their task to in
spect it and congratulate the finder. A
player who has finished his own eobweb is
ut liberty to pick up any other which may
have been dropped inadvertently. Rules
are flexible and may be greatly varied to
suit the occasion and the age of the par
ticipants. Any one may intimate to the
hostess to whom the cord leading to her
| prize shall be given. When the room has
been arranged the disentangling may oc-
cupy two or even three hours.
Norway Notes.

Advocated
One cannot but admire Norway. 1t is
grounded on granite, and has great deal
more granite than ground. The oldest
rocks, born of fire and force, overlaid
with scarcely any of the older and softer
formations, abound here. One here de
lights in original rock as if it were good
enough not to need any tinkering of Later
cycles. 1t is good, strong, does not rot, il
fit to rib world with.
saw an old Viking ship that had beel
buried in clay nearly millennium. 1
had been used as q sepulcher of deat

toward the sea at the east, and used as
coffin for him who once felt the sprinI
and leap as kind of larger body unde
him. Was it so placed in expectation o
resurrection power in the east, at the bid
ding of which the ship and man shoul,
