which contains an exact map of the
Klondike country. Each player has a
man which he moves from one num-
bered space to another. each move be-
ing decided by the spinning of teto-
tuTn The object of each player is to
start from Fort st. Michaels. journey
up the Yukon river, reach Klondike, Sc
cure his gold, and return in safety by
way Of juneau. ~
There are many obstacles in the way,
however, and these are indicated by
numbered red rings scattered among
the black ones. Each of these rings
has = penalty attached. For example,
if the player lights upon the red circle
marked Wet Ammunition" he must
go back to the starting point and COM
mence over again. If he should strike
the ring marked Snow Storm and
Blizzard" on his way through Chllkoot
pass, he perishes and is out OF the
game There are many other hazards
which make the race for gold an eXclt-
ing one. The player who first com
pletes the trip wins the gold nugget and
the game. Klondike is likely to be re-
ceived with high favor, for it is an eX-
citing game, and teaches the useful les
son of the dangers of Alaska.
More ingenious even than Klondike is
the new game of parlor golf, which will
be played by some old folks as We'll as
good many young ones, during the WIN

by a young Harvard student who was
an enthusiastic player of the outdoor
game 1t is an excellent reproduction OF
the outdoor golf links suitable for a
billiard board or a long dining room
table. The game is played exactly as
it is out of doors, with a full outfit OF
sticks, bunkers, hazards and greens.
The balls used are like those employed
in the field game except that they are
only about a quarter of an inch In
diameter and the method of scoring
is the usual one of deciding each hole
by the least number of strokes required
to reach It.
The most unique thing about indoor
golf is the spring gun which holds the
lofter, putter or brassy with which
each stroke is made. This consists of
small cylinder shaped to fit the hand,
inside of which is a spiral spring. From
this a small rod projects, with a hole in
the end, through which the stick is
thrust and fastened by a screw. The
stick swinger has a leg with which to
steady it when it is held on the table.
The stroke is made by pressing the up
per end of the stick forward. and re-
leasing il. so that the force of the
spring will cause the club end to give
the ball a smart blow.
A wealthy little girl who is fond of
dolls viii have little difficulty in being

more elaborate than ever before. The
latest imported dolls can walk. talk,
sing, dance, and, in fact, have every
accomplishment except the unnecessary
one of being able to eat A family OF
four dolls recently arrived in New York
from Paris They brought along their
house, and each one had a trunk in
which most elaborate wardrobe was

floors, broad staircases and bathrooms
The whole outfit is worth several hun
