The Game of Clotshot.

Two players on each side have to play alternately with one ball. One village has ball No. 1 and the other ball No. 9. These balls arc .2X inches in diameter and in weight are 1H pounds The material is of hard wood root, and lead is poured into six holes, of which every two face each other. This lead makes the ball a first class missile and the smooth surface of the hard wood lets it quit the fingers easily when tho throw is made. Now, what is the object of this throwingp It is simply to get as far as possible down the appoint cd course. You have to walk for an hour at least and back again. Ho who can cover the distance with fewest throws wins.
 I would like to sec a good English cricket ball thrower contend at this game with these Germans. In each oaso man who can throw 100 yards is very good thrower The Germans, in throwing, go through an amount of acrobatic contortion and leaping tbat have never seen prac- ticed at baseball or cricket ball throwing. But the Germans arc very accurate. One great point with them is to cast the mis- silo so that it shall continue after touching the ground to go on. The ball, therefore, should be thrown as low as possible, so that it may have force to bound and roll onward when it alights. s.-Good Words.

How Trainmen on City and Suburban Lines Help Out Their Monthly Salaries.

How Trainmen on City and Suburban Lines
 Help Out Their Monthly Salaries.
 Owing no doubt to the large and open handed style of living which characterizes the Ameriean there is very littlo regular traffic in secondhand magazines in this country. and practically none in second- hand newspapers so far as the general pub lie is concerned. In England great many people are regular subscribers to second hand papers, and tho business is so impor- tant that one cencern-1n it sufficiently profitable to quote it's prices for tread" copies of tho leading -iLondon dailies at considerable length in Tho Times.
 e In Chicago. although nobody is willing to wait a few hours for his news in order to save U few cents, tho business of selling secondhand newspapers is carried on pretty extensively, owing to the exchange privilege allowed by the papers to railroad nows agents and to tho newsboys. The brakemen on the suburban trains the guards on tho elevated roads and tho con ductors on-the street cars gather up tho castoff papers on their trains at tho end of every run. The street railway conduct or, as rule, has no market for his papers and after giving the gripmen and tho men in the barn all thoy want to while away idle moments he destroys tho rest but the men on the suburban trains and tho elevated roads dispose of their surplus to the news agents on tho trains in tho caso of the suburban roads and at the stations in case of the elevated. For a 9 cent paper the agent pays cent, and for tho cent papers 5 cents for 50. If the news agent gets them early in the day, he can resell many of them. If there is some big piece of news in the market, he has no trouble in disposing of all he can get up till noon. Those ho doesn't sell he can exchange withins24 hours for new ones of tho next issue, so that he cannot lose by the trans action, 90 matter what tho condition of the market may bo.
 This extra money, if the paper collector is lucky, amounts to several dollars in the course of the month Ono of tho curios- ities of the business is the fact that tho conditions which make business lively for the news agent mako 1t dull for the paper collector and vice versa. If the weather is stormy, more papers are sold by the agent, because people expect to bo kept indoors more and to have fewer interruptions from visitors, but for the same reason they ere less apt to leave their papers in the car seat. During a cold snap tho trainmen havo rather slim picking comparatively, and the same thing is true on rainy and stormy days in tho summer time.-Chi- oago Tribune,

Chivalrous Devotion.

Disrueh's chivalrons devotion to women is abundantly clear from his novels, but it has been made clearer still to those, Mir. Froude among them, who have had access to his unpublished letters to Mrs Brvdges Williams, now in tho possession of Lord Rothsohild, and who were cognizant of his almost daily correspondence with another lady of great powers of mind and personal charm, who, to the deep sorrow of all who knew her, has recently followed the loader whom she bonored with her friendship.
 His loyal devotion to Lady Beacons6eld and the udoration he inspired in her have for long been notorious. What wonder, then, that to Disraeli, romanticist in statccraft, an idealist in politics and a provencal in sentiment, his chivalrous TO- gard for tho sox should bave taken deep- or complexion when the parsonage was not only a woman, but queenf In trifies Disraeli never forgot the sex of his sover- eign. In great affairs he never appeared to remember 1t. To this extent the charge of flattery brought against him may be true He approached the queen with the supreme tact of man of the world, thnn which-no form of flattery can Ee more ee

Disraeli at Home.

Hardly week passed in which did not dine with him and Mrs. Disraeli. His dinners wero small, not overgood but al- ways gay and amusing-not that ho was himself at all brilliant in conversation. On the contrary, he was generally silent unless there was an opening for some epi- grammatic or paradoxical or startling ob- servation. Though bitterly sarcastic if it suited his purpose, ho was far from being cynical from nature. On the contrary, he was remarkably placable and, though he had flow strong dislikes, he had many strong friendships Disraeli was eminent ly Bohemian, imaginative, without par ticle of belief in anything, totally unprin- cipled-I do not use the word in an offen. sive sense but as being devoid of all prin- ciples of policy, That he was a man of immense talent not even his greatest en- emy can deny but even I, his personal friend, must confess that from his en- trance into public life until his last hour he lived and died q charlataD. - Autohi- ograpby of Sir William Gregory"

 The handsome residence of Mir. and Mrs. B. F. Zoeckler at Eighth avenue and Jefferson last night was scene of festlvity. The verandas were lighted by Chinese lanterns and within the house the same soft illumination WAS thrown on canvsssed floors over which many feet tripped to the strains of violin and piano.
 The occasion was the birthday of their daughter Lulu. It's celebration was surprise to her and was designed by her sister Nellie and Messrs. J. B. Miller and T. Hamilton.
 MT. and Mrs. ZoeckIer entered into the spirit of the surprise and to more ineffaceably fix the delightful memory of the night contributed an elegant Behr piano.
 The gentlemen and the lady who had the management of the affair in hand apparently selected the lady guests with reference to their beauty. That may have been only an accident, a sort of coincidence. But any way. the lady guests were singularly attractive and Gnelr attractlVeneS5 was Set OH Dy 8 uniformity of white gowns.
 The night was passed in dancing and music and the partaking of sumptuous refreshs>,olts, with confections for the ladies and fragrant cigars for the gentle men.
