Pleasant Games for Evenings.

A pleasant game for an evening at
home, among few reading people and
their neighbors, is called Quotations. &"
A card with some appropriate lines may
announce the evening to your friends,
and for an hour the hostess or some one
else assigned the duty may read quota
tions, the guests giving the author.
Well known lines should be written on
slips of paper and put in a pretty ribbon
basket. The guests are seated in circle,
and after the first quotation one is given
a minute to name the author. If he
fails, the reader gives the right name
and No. reads the next quotation and
passes to his next neighbor.
To give variety an authors name may
be given, and a point is made by the first
one who responds with quotation from
that writer; or subject may be given
and appropriate quotations called for.
The one making the greatest number of
points wins the game. Another game
that calls for quick thought is called
Conservation" On the card given to
each person is a list of ten articles that
he is given ten seconds each to see. An
evening devoted to curios, after the
fashion of some of the clubs, is also both
delightful and profitable. Each guest
brings curio and tells the history of it.
In the same manner a geographical
club sometimes varies its evenings by
having each member bring a picture of
some spot where he has travelled and
give little talk about it.-New York

MY SAILOR LOVER.

That brings my sailor lover.
watch the sails as they go by
But dimly outlined 'gainst the sky,
But none brings back my lover.
To me alone
The waves low moan
Tells of my sailor lover.
Years have watched, bur all in vain;
Oh, shall see on earth again
My long lost sailor lover?
With weary beat
The waves repeat,
"Gone is thy sailor lover"
They tell to me in monotone.
OF sorrows that are rarely known
Tell of my long lost lover.
Ere life's sad day
Shall pass away
Bring back, o sea, my lover.
Der mountain, hill and winding stream
/ see the suns last, fading beam
Thus shall my soul pass over
The Stygian river.
Gone, gone forever
To meet my long lost lover;
But still l watch, but watch in vain,
While at my heart grows keen the pain,
For my departed lover.

Evolution of the Saddle.

The evolution from cloth coverings to
the saddle were as gradual as they were
natural, finally bringing us to the saddle
of today, consisting of the wooden frame
known as the saddletree, the skirts or
padded underfaps, the seat generally
made of tanned pigskin), the girth or
belly band, the stirrup straps, the stir
rups and the crupper loop. This COM
bination is the saddle proper, no matter
how varied its shape, how near its ap-
proach to elegance on the one hand or
to awkwardness on the other.-Detroit

Big TALK ON SILVER
The International Conference
Nearly Ready for Business.
THIS coUNTRY's PART IN IT.
Interesting Views Of American Delegates on
the Question at Issue and Which VIII
lie Brought Forward.

The financial telescopes of the world will
be leveled at the Belgian capital next week,
and yet Brussels has witnessed more ex-
citing episodes than the quiet gathering
which is to be termed the international
Monetary Conference. Great men from
all nations viii be there, but it concerns
the United States most Of all, for the initial
steps resulting In the international deliber-
atoms were taken by this government
The move shelved vexed question just
before a presidential campaign, and it will
now be seen how international action will
change the problem.
The American delegation consists Of ex-
Comptroller Henry w. Cannon, Senator
William B. Allison Of Iowa. Senator John
b. Jones of Nevada, President K. Benla-
min Andrews of Brown University, Con
gresham McCreary of Kentucky and Ed
ward o. Leech Director of the Mint.
1.-THE delegates said MIR. Cannon to me
before he left for Europe, certainly rep
resent ali the views Of Americans on the
subject of coinage, and as 1t would be in
advisable to present all these sentiments
we have practically decided upon com
promise. l believe that there is not enough
gold TO enable US 10 do without silver, but
am strongly opposed to free coinage. Sen
etor Allison takes a middle view on the
question. Senator Jones is confessedly a
radical free coinage man. DR.. Andrew has

written en- interesting volume on 'Tn Q
Gold Dollar" and his views are almost
radically against free silver. Director
Leech believes that there is too much sill
yer in the market, and Congressman Nc
Creary is inclined to side with Senator
Jones, although by 10 means as radical on
the subject. We have had no conference
as yet, but each has had talk with Secre-
tary Foster and our duties have been
clearly defined. We have authority simply
to discuss and to propose, but no power
for final action. doubt if any of the dele
gates from other countries will have pleni-
potentiary authority. The deliberations will
in all Likelihood be conducted in the English
language. The American delegates will
argue for bimetsllism, and it Is likely that
our most bitter opponents will be the Eng
lish delegations, who, / understand, be-
ieve that we are making grievous error
in purchasing 500, coo ounces of silver a
month. They think that TO stop coming
this great mass of silver dollars monthly
would drive more bullion abroad, and IN
that way favorably affect the silver market
'sNo proposition looking 10 an indorse-
ment of free coinage Of silver will probably
be submitted by any of the American
representatives. Senator Jones was in

The Mystery of arhrillsn in Music.

When it was suggested that the melodi-
BUSINESS Of Robin Hood is hardly retained
in the Fencing Master Mr. de Koven
said that in the latter opera he had en-
deavored TO make the music more in per-
feet harmony with the action of the piece
and sought less to present series of tune
full melodies. In this he had followed the
advanced school of music. AZ don't know
but that there is peculiar set of sensory
nerves that are impacted by certain must
cal sounds, and that it is this impact that
causes the thrill that one feels under GER
tain circumstances. You have felt it, and
SO has every sensitive person. Now, I be-
lieve the man who can determine exactly
the tones that effect this feeling will have
made great advance in musical art. That
must be the electrical current that reaches
into the human frame, and gives satisfac-
ton aside from the sense of hearing. Now
in an opera like the "Fencing Master,n put
upon the stage as 1t is with all the re-
sources OF scenery, costumes and stage
effects, the senses of sight and hearing are
appealed to, and in certain passages,
where the music is worked up to a
climax, as in the finale TO tbs second act
there is thrill of satisfaction
felt by the listener. But there are instru-
mentS end tones that cause this feeling when
the accessories of the stage representation
are absent. A friend of mine told me that in
Arabia he went to hear one of the native
musicians play upon q curious kind of
instrument that had q wonderful effect
on him. AT first the tone appeared harsh
and forbidding. but finally he became i'm
pressed that there was a something which
arrested his attention and held it, notwith-
standing the fact that his ear rebelled
against an sppsrent discord. This feeling
grew upon him, and he felt that electric
thrill that we have been talking about.
He heard the man play several times after
ward, and always with the same feelings.
Now this was barbarie instrument with
out the melody that we are accustomed to
look for, and yet it had that peculiar effect
which we are accustomed only to expect
from the highest order of composition and
execution. So there must be some tone
or set OF tones that when uttered makes
complete the electrical circuit with the
sensory nerves, aud the man who can de-
termine exactly what they are viii render
great service TO the art of musical com
position. - Washington Star.

Sensible Suggestions on a Subject Little
1i Understood.
If people could only be guided into
simple habits and ideas as regards So
called comforts and ornaments, we
should not only be more likely to de-
velop nobler art, But also to secure less
toll and trouble in the care and keeping
of the useless gimcrackery with which
the homes of all, from noble dukes to
well-to-do trades-pcople, at present
abound. AS a rule, it may be safely ad-
mitted that rooms are too much furnish
ed, and that the doors, windows, fire.
place, floor, walls and ceiling have too
little competent care bestowed upon
them. Were the constructive features
of a room properly looked after, much
furniture and upholstery would be as
needless as it is troublesome to keep in
order and move about And this brings
up another important point in house
furnishing too often forgotten-the
question of dust. Dwellers in town are
particularly subject to this all-prevail-
ing evil, an evil arising not altogether
from without.
Houses are more or less vibratory,
especially where there is heavy street
or train traffic in the vicinity, and we
have not yet cleared out our stock
of smoky fiues. So that in addition to
paying particular attention to the fit
| ting of doors and windows, we would
urge the selection of only such furni-
ture as may be easily moved about, or
so raised above the ground asfto leave
at least nine inches clear space under
Meath Avoid useless side tables and
cabinets, which are so often dragged in
| for no other purpose in the world but
to carry ''art emporium" rubbish. Re-
member that all furniture beyond what
is really necessary for comfort and con-
venience only provides so many more
| traps wherewith to catch the dust
| Avoid all woollen and fluffy stuff in
such upholstery as it may be deemed
necessary to have. To those whose
means admit it, we would suggest the
use of thin parquet over old floors; upon
such floor only one or two rugs, in
| lieu of the usual carpet, would be
needed, which should be of close,
hard texture. Then we would substi-
tute the grand and semi-grand piano
for the dust-attracting cottage instru-
ment where possible, and abolish for
ever the hideous practice Of covering
| our furnitare with all kinds of drapeiy
and frippery. Scientific American.
