A Game For Children.

A nice, noisy, nonsensical pastime is
Musical Chairs" Several chairs are
placed in line, the little ones range
themselves in order, and the pianist COM
mences one of Offenbach's merriest pol
kas. During this time the youngsters
march round the chairs till the music
suddenly stops-at the discretion of the
performer-with the result that every
one scrambles for chair. and as there
is one more player than seats some one is
left out in the cold, with the satisfaction
that his or her misfortune will only evoke
a peal Of laughter. New York World.

lies Worlds fair guessing contest. His
father, Frederick r. Ohmeyer, guessed
that during the first seven days after the
opening day 1872 1880 people would enter
the gates of the Worlds fair. The Off
cial count shows that the actual number
of admissions was 162, 1874, only IS more
than Mr. Ohmeyer guessed. When Mr..
Ohmeyer made his estimate, he and his
wife agreed that that particular guess

A Word to Mr. carnegief


Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has made large
fortune in the steel business, bat Is not
satisfied. He now poses as a political
prophet. but is not entirely success.
He tells ns that the whole English
speaking world ought to unite in order
to boss the affairs Of the planet. Such
combination, he declares, would give
us the Dictatorship. We should be-
come the arbiters Of the worlds destiny,
"and all like that, you know" Our
consolidated navy would be decisive
in any controversy, and European ma
tions would be compelled to ask our Per
mission before cutting each others
threats.
There is no reason why we should
unite with England either politically,
commercially or otherwise. We are
quite able to run our own machine, and
ask no help from any one. We don't
propose to assume the task of control
ling Europe. If Germany wants to fight
Russia, that is her business. We will
stay on this side of the water and supply
breadstuffs at reasonable profit. If
France is loading up for a contest, that
is not our affair. She Is her own master,
and we have no desire to take hand.
If our memory serves US, we were at
some pains about a century ago to break
off all close relations with England.
King George got very mad and swore at
us in his characteristic patois, but we
brought that stubborn gentleman to
terms at last. 1t is not probable, there
fore, that we shall at this late day enter
into combine with England which
might open up a chance to recover the
property she owned before the Declara-
ton of Independence.-New York Tel

Chicago Pressed Chicken.

A Dundas man has for the past few
weeks, it is claimed, been travelling
through the counties of Rice, Goodhue
and Dakota buying up all the calves he
can for so cents. These calves are taken
to his farm at Stanton, about seven
miles north of this CITY, where they are
killed, skinned and chopped up-lights,
livers and bones-and packed into boxes
and shipped to a Chicago firm. The Chi
cago firm puts them Through some proc
ess and sells them to tho Worlds fair
restaurants for pressed chicken" This
man has shipped large numbers of these
calves.-Cor. Minneapolis Journal.

There is little boy just over the way

He hoes and rakes all day long and

NO Hoops, but Yet Expansion.
It Is amusing to hear the comments on
the new styles. Soon the crinoline wom-
an will be out in force. This does not
mean the hoopsldrt, which was no 60,
but that sleeves, skirt and ruf1les are all
crinoine lined, which is the accepted
compromise Her skirts flare 80 greatly
her waist looks small in comparison
even when of good size. Her shoulders
are broad, and her arms are concealed by
Du6s that stand out with crinoline lin
Mgs. If to crinoline hN,d shoulder rev.
ers are added, the sight is grotasque in
the extreme in spite of the declaration
OF few that it is the most artistic make
up since Josephine's day. These new
features are novelties now and are re-
garded as such by lockers on, leading to
funny little incidents.
At one opening this week a group Of
interested saleswomen were chatting
about one Of their number who had ven
tured out in new gown with standing
"donkey ears" on each shoulder. At an
other the umbrella skirt was the object
OF attention, the wearer unconsciously
trying to force tho flare back more like
her discarded bell.
The extreme skirt is the 1880. It is
yards in width and requires for the
making 3 yards Of 50-inch goods. 1t

er and has every appearance of hoop
skirt beneath. To be well dressed, that

It takes very small amount Of good

her % years nor yet the inclination all
reporters feel to write the adjective
'3pretty" before the noun ''princess"
can avail to cause the young lady to be
considered as anything but a peculiarly

thick nose, and the contour of the whole
