Not long ago weekly magazine oon-

vulgarly force itself on the public.

An AMUSING GAME.



| Develop Latent Talent.
A representative Of Club Life Wit
messed for the first time . game which,
according to the New York Sun, Is des-
tined to become more popular than the
Donkey Game" or any Of the recent 60
called parlor amusements. About twen-
ty-hve ladies and gentlemen had been
invited to the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. H. Sellers to take part in the CON-
test which is called "Animals."
Cards equal to tho number Of persons
present had been previously prepared
with the name Of each contestant hand
painted on his own, and twenty-five
blank spaces had been numbered on
each card where the individual was to
write down guess for each animal
drawn. The game was opened by the
party whose card was numbered 'one,"
who stepped up to an easel on which
had been placed twenty-five pieces Of
thick drawing paper, each about two
feet square. }
'No. Twas secretly told by the scorer
that his animal was buffalo" and he
was given just one minute to draw =
picture Of 1t on the first sheet of draw
ing paper exposed to the full view Of the
rest Of the company, using piece Of
crayon which had been handed him.
Then after he had finished, each one
was told to guess what animal was I'M
tended, and, without imparting his
ideas to his neighbor, write his conclu-
sions on his own score card opposite
"No. l." :
Then "No. 2" was given an animal
and went through the same exercises on
another sheet OF the paper. More
guosses were written down by the CONS
pany, and "No. 8" stepped up. After
every one Of the twenty-five had drawn
an animal the cards were exchanged
and the correct name for each sketch
was read aloud, and each person checked
of those which had been named cor
rectly.
The lady or gentleman who guessed
correctly the greatest number Of pict-
ures was awarded the first prizo, while
the one who had the fewest got
'booby." There were roars of laughter
as each attempt was made to depict
some animal known only to the artist,
in many cases no semblance to living
thing being discernible.

General Purpose Horses.

GFrom the Horse Breeder
 Too many farmers are welded to the idea of raising general purpose horses, when it would be far more profitable to raise horses for some special purpose. Consumers, or those who buy horses to wear out, wish them for special purpose and pay for them according to their adaptability for that pur- pose.
 As rule, the farmers who talk the loudest in favor of breeding general purpose horses, use the horse whose services can be had at the lowest fee;regardless to his adaptability ,as cross on the mares to be bred. for securing the desired general purpose horse. A large majori- they wish to raise general purpose horses for fully matured. But as they have not been bred with any fixed purpose in view, they are of a nondescript character and are not adapt to any particular purpose, hence are what are classed in the city markets as ''streeters" or Common" horses and bring hardly enough to cover the expense of raising.
 The farmers who insist that they are rais- ing general purpose horses are giutting the market with streeters or common animals. Look up the market reports and see what classes of horses are bringing the best prices, then decide which class your mares are best adapted to raise, and breed them to the best stallion to be had of the class you pin your faith on. Keep the best mare colt and con- tinue to breed in line, that is, breed them to the best horse to be had of the same breed or class as their sire and continue to grade up to better and far more profitable class of

Hunting Comrades.


 If you see two old hunters going out for game in company you will observe that they never interfere with one another. New men, those who are just serving their apprentice ship, are usually anxious to be ahead. They want the credit of being the first to see the game. They want also, perhaps, the first shot. They do not consider that If two heads come in sight over a ridge the chances that they will be observed are just twice as great as if only one appears. They seem to think, too, that Providence is looking out for them in some especial way, and that game will be deaf and blind to their blunders, though fully alive to those of others. Old hunters act very differently.
 It is understood by them that the man who is ahead is to do the hunting. The one be- hind, while keenly scanning the country to see anything that may present itself, and which may have escaped the eye of his com- panion. never inteferes with him but awaits his directions. He is ready at sign to creep up behind his leader and shoot, or he is equally prepared to lie down where he is, and to wait there for an indefinite time, or he will make long round to start the game by giving it his wind or showing himself to it, SC as to drive it in some desired direction. FoI the time being the man who is in the lead is a commander, and if the two have hunted in company often enough to understand each other, they work together with most perfect system.

HDid You EverIss


 One of the Seventh avenue cars stopped at Twenty-6rst street the other day to let sharp-featured, snapy-eyed woman get aboard. When the conductor came forward to collect her fare, she gave him fifty cent piece. After giving her change he had turned to go the platform, when she stopped him by saying:
 "oh, conductor. you have not given me tho right change"
 The conductor said politely: "I think you must be mistaken, lady. I gave you your ten-cent piece and nickel"
 "But you didn't, ;" eontradicted the sharp featured woman; "you gave me only four ten cent pieces
 The conductor counted his change and said: "You certainly must be mistaken, for the change in my pocket is all right"
 'sDid you ever2" remarked the now thoroughly excited woman, appealing to a fat man opposite. The stout man did not signify whether he ever did or not, and she began upon the conductor again.
 "I never make 8 mistake, "said she. When know thing know it."
 "But certainly gave you the right change"
 She turned to the lady in the corner and asked, "Did you ever!" The lady was non- committal, which forced the sharp featured woman to appeal to an old man who was, however, left shrouded In gloom. The con- ductor counted over change again. Then an idea occurred to him.
 Wont you get up, lady, and see whether that nickel sis not in your clothing some- wherea" he asked.
 She fairly gasped for breath as she re- marked, tDid you evera" to the whole car.
 Then the conductor gave up the fight and drew forth fvs-cent piece from his pocket, which she placed in her purse. AS the car approached Thirty-fourth street she signaled the conductor that she wanted to get of. Six very much interested passengers watched her rise to leave the ear, and there was gen~ eral sigh of satisfaction and an air of I-told. you-so on every ones face when the missing nickel dropped from Q fold in her dress and rolled on the floor. The conductor called her attention to 1t, but the only satisfaction he got for 1t was the remark she made as she looked back at the shining coin on the floor: "You ought to know enough to make the right change and not make such fuss about it."
