Chiii's National Game,

Black and White.
Modern methods of conveyance
have not yet made their way into
many parts of Chill. and the horse Is
most used for purpose. All Chilians
ride as soon they walk, and thus
being accustomed to horses from
their infancy they become skillfull
and daring horsemen. The game OF
barrO has, no doubt, originated from
these circumstances. Outside ell
the inns and many of the houses
strong bars, supported on posts, are
erected TO enable the travellers to
tether their horses, and these bars
they utilize for the game No particu

so long as there are an equel number

the inns invite each other to play
Sides are formed, leaders chosen and
the game commences. The leaders
take up the center position, side ny

selves OH the off side of their leader.
At given signal each side urge their
horses against the other and endea.

the end Of the bar, and the side which
first accomplishes this feat wins. The
spurs are often cruelty used to keep
the horses chest well against the bar.
and free use is made of the end of the
lettering stays, TO which is generally
attached a small weight, as ter

During the game much excitement
prevails, the riders becoming intense

the face of the structure being dia-

why Some Dreams Are Forgotten.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
During this period of deepest sleep
the function of the brain Is so weak
ened that we retain no recollection OF
what may occur. sometimes we
know that we have dreamed, but are
wholly unable to recall q single trare
of that which has engaged our
thoughts. But shortly before We
awake our dreams become more live
~ aud connected, and for this reason
are more easily retained by the mem
DRY. "Morning dreams come true"
is q saying inter preted by the physi-
cal state Of sleep being then less per.
feet; traius OF thought suggested fol-
low more nearly the course of waking
asso Citations, and the memory retains
them, while earlier and more con-
fused dreams are wholly lost to the
mind. Again, persons are to be found
who, when they speak much during
sleep, are unable 10 femem Der their
dreams on waking, yet recollect them
perfectly If they do not speak. This
fact il easily accounted for. PrOhsb-
~ when We are silent the mind Is
more directed upon the subject of the
dream, and not so likely to be dis
tracted from 1t. There is perhaps
another explanation. When we
dream OF speaking, or actually speak
the neces sity Of using language infers
the exercise of some degree of reason,
and thus, the incongruities OF the
dream being diminished, it's nature
becomes less striking and consequent
Iy less likely to be remembered.

Some Odd Duels.

Chicago Herald.
A desperate duel was fought one
day in August, 1885, by two girls
about IS years of age-Senoritas Es.
pinoza and Morena-employed at the
Tobacco factory in Seville, that work
shop in front OF whsch the first act of
the opera of Carmen" is supposed TO
eveutuaie. Their seconds were men,
who furnished each girl with dirk,
after which they were biindfolded and
placed in an uniighted room for half
An hour and commanded to Eight ~
Then the room was locked aud the
seconds Joined the other employees at
dinner, after which they 3ened the
door and found both girls alive, but
mortaily wounded. One of the COM
harants was cut In twenty seven diff
iereut places, and was bleeding to
death, while the other received severe
wounds in ten and fatal ones in two
places The two seconds attempted
to escape, but were arrested and sent
60 prison for six mouths. The girls
never spoke after the door was opeued,
but one OF them lived In great agony
for several hours.
Near Madrid, Dec 10, 1890, Capt.
Romero and Capt. Muriilo fought
with sabers, and both were frightful-
ly injured aud MANNED for life. Sub
sequently the principals and their
seconds (all offieersl were arrested.
and the former were dismissed from
the army and the latter fined. One
of the latter, after paying his fine,
challenged the magistrate who fined
him, who accepted and received three
wounds. He again fined the officer.
and was again challenged, and fought
with pistols, killing the officer at the
first fire.
It is a fact, although / cannot pre-
sent names or dftes, that q Partisan
scribe grossly ifsulted an my officer
in the morning edition of his paper,
fought and killed him at noon, and
published q graphic description of the
whole affair In his evening issue.
Quite as good little story Is that
in which, at al aristocratic party In
Vienna, a lady dropped bouquet
and a gentleman following in q waltz
kicked It to one side so that it would
not be stepped upon. and was chal-
Ienged and wounded by the escort OF
the lady who dropped the flowers,
and was sfterwsrd nursed by and
married the lady herself.

A NOVEL IDEA.

One of the most pleasing features of
Charles E. Schilling's MINISTRIES is the in
PRODUCTION Of a new spectacular first part,
taken from Gilbert & Sullivan's popular
comic opera, The Pirates of PenBance. "
The scene is natural cave in the South
seas aud is one of the most artistic and
brilliant pieces of scenery ever carried by
travering company. The costumes are all
of silk, satin, plush and bullion, very elab-
crate. and in colors to perfectly barmonize
with the rich draperies which adorn the
interior of the mammoth cave, thus form
ing most gorgeous spectacle to behold
and novel introduction to the high class
entertainment which follows Mr.
Schilling's idea is to make his show
larger and better with each succeed
ing year and so, he decided to
put more money aud better talent in his
company this year than ever and to make
this the greatest minstrel enterprise ever
organized. The company has been care
fully selected, each member for his super
ior ability in his respective line. The
comedians are all clever, the specialties in
comparable and the singing pronounced
by critics to be the best ever heard outside
of the Grand opera. thus forming an Or
ganization of talent never before equalled
in the annals OF minstrelsy.
