A NEW GAM e.
8llndgirl's HUFF Is in Our Midst as an
Evening Amusement

8lindgirl's Huff Is in Our Midst as an
Evening Amusement.
Blindman's buff under the new name
of blindgirl's buff is in our midst, says
the New York World. This is the
way it is done. The pretty buffer is
blindfolded by means of a long black
mask which effectually keeps her from
gazing underneath. She is then seat
ed in the middle of the room, while
the company, joining hands, slowly
walk around her. High above her
head the buffer fourishes weapon
not unlike the shield which the darkies
down south use for protection against
flies and mosquitoes.
As the mystic circle silently passes
around the blindfolded enchantress,
the latter brings down her wand light
ly upon the head Of any one whom its
aim may concern. He quickly catches
it, kisses the hand of the Queen of
the Mask and takes his place upon the
throne where he in turn sways the
sceptre. Should young woman be
touched with the wand she embraces
her ex-queen and tries her own hand
with the wand.
The game is made interesting by the
announcement that should the queen
fail in three strokes to touch one of
her subjects she is presented, later on,
with the Court TESTERS paper cap and
bells, and should any subject be so for
tunate as to be three times chosen she
is given a jubilee and is awarded a
gilt crown, or prettier still, o flower

The smuggling of opium on the
frontier between the United States and
Canada is an iniquitous traffic that can
hardly be stopped while the extremely
high duty makes the business so profit
able. Either the duty should be re-
duced, or better still, guards should be
stationed at the point where this snug
gled opium is disposed of, and the
smugglers be severely punished. Only
a poor cheap kind OF opium comes in
this way, but it is becoming SO album.
dant that it supersedes in many drug
stores the better opium on which full
duty has been paid.

The business of the great postoffices
approximates more nearly to great
express company than to anything
else. 1t is huge business. which
requires business administration, and
those postoffices are most successfully
managed which are conducted by the
highest administrative ability. It is
surprising, when the amount of bust
ness is taken into consideration, how
few mistakes there are in proportion tc
the number Of letters handled. 1t is a
fact that by far the largest percentage
OF errors in delivery at our large post
Offices are caused by carelessness. in
directing letters by those who address
them.

Death came to her suddenly and unex-

trust in her Saviour, and faith triumphed
over fear. At midnight she heard the crv.
