rn.,raet,re Chinese Games.

Curator Stuart Culin of the univer- sity of Pennsylvania museum. who has gathered together the finest collection of games ever made in the world, has made an interesting discovery in his study of the Corean sports. The Chi nese games are all marked by a literary character. the game of logomachy, or ord-building, which has gained such popularity in this country, having been played long ago by Corean school chil- dren. "A number of their games, he declares, had their origin from mystic concepts. Many of the childish sports had originally a serious divinistie or expiatory significance. The tug of war, for instance, was played by the people of villages and districts to ascertain which would be the luclSier. Kites were used as scapegoats, being released with inscriptions to the effect that they were carrying away misfortune. Mere toys were not numerous Some of the games possess decidedly ethnic character, and their study promises to furnish con clusions of some importance. 7-Phila' delphia Record.

effort to form a manufacturing com.
pany which is to include the spool

East Corinth. This meeting is expect
ed to decide whether the effort so far
made is to be brought to a successful
ending or not. Already over $4,000
has been subscribed in the village and
it now remains to be seen whether
those in other parts of the town, par
ticularly the farmers, will take hold
and help the movement along. The
Jackmans will be present at this meet
ing and the details of the plan will be
fully explained, A large attendance
is expected. If $500 to $4,000 can be
secured in subscriptions at this meet
ing, success is assured beyond ques-
ton. Let those who are interested in
building up home industries be on
hand Saturday evening in a liberal
frame of mind, and we shall see a
thriving business established at Brad

1t will be considered a cause for cor
dial congratulation, that the Rev. DIR.
Colyer, of the church of the Messiah,
New York, who is at present guest
of Mr.. d. Blakely, will on Sunday
next, in the absence of Mr. Barnard,
(who is at Cleveland in attendance
upon the Christion Endeavor conven-
tion) fill the Congregational pulpit III
Bradford. 1t would be superf1uous
for the OPINION to advise its readers
to avail themselves of this opportunity.
DIR. Colyer is perhaps the most dis
tinguished of American Unitarian Di-
vines, as he is probably now the old
est of its great preachers. As a pull
pit speaker he is doubtless without a
superior in the country, and he is pc
culiarly gifted in that his sermons are
evenly and continuously the great out
givings of an honest, earnest, and re-
markedly sincere soul. Whether as
pulpit orator, lecturer, or in the days
which tried the republic, as public
man, he has been always and equally
distinguished. We cannot too strong
ly emphasize the good fortune which
brings this distinguished Divine to our
midst, and affords us the profit and
pleasure of listening to one of his adj
mirable sermons.
