The game IL played with two pieces of
hone. one perfectly plain. the other with a
black stripe around il. The whole game
consists OF one man guessing in which
hand the other man holds the plain white
hone. Yesterday there were at different
times twenty or thirty Indians in the
Indian department playing this game.
They squat down on the door. arranged a
doxen or SO on each side, aud with short
pieces of wood pound the door or tho loose
boards in the door. sing their dirge-like
songs. and occasionally break forth In Wild
bufrahs over the good leek of their side.
Each side has y leader. and there are some
men who are more noted for their skill or
their luck In the game than others.

Let ms be Thankful

The trade depression of 1894 is not
confined to the United States. Bust
ness. rs conservative journal re-
marks, has suffered in almost every
European country, notably in Eng
land. France and Germany. Aus
tralia has not recovered from her
last years panic, and India still feels
the disastrous effects of her recent
financial disturbance. Brazil and
most of the Spanish American coun-
tries are having hard times on ac-
count OF their deprecated currency

United States is in better condition

The losses sustained by Great Brit
ain in her foreign trade this year up
to June 80 are shown in n report re-
Gently made TO the board OF trade of
London and published by the Finan-
cial News of that city. The loss in
June amounted to u, $3.50, 900, or AZ
per cent, the comparison being with
the country's exports in June Of last
year. This is the heaviest monthly
loss experienced since the big coal
strike in England last summer. The
shrinkagc for the half year was g.
155.6sO. and 10 is now believed that
the bottom has been reached. At
least that is the opinion of the Finan-
cial News.
The shrinkage in Great Britain's
foreign trade since 1891 is enormous.
The first half Of that year her exports
amounted to 1892. 600, 900. and for
the first half Of 1892 they aggregated
only 1891. OOO.OOO Here was n fall.

stated. The home trade Of the manu-
facturcrs and jobbcrs Of Great Britain
has already fallen of considerably
during the same period, though not
tn the same extent that their foreign
sales have.
When our merchants and manufac.
turers lind that their profits are not
