ic and often achieve successful results
on very little.
The artistic woman of to-day Is not
the aesthetic, untidy, "greenery-yal-
lery" creature of bygone days. Her
gown may be trim and tight-ftting
and artistic at one and the same time.
A single fashionable gown of tulle,
chiffon or mousseline will be a limp,
dismal rag after two or three dances,
two or three crushings in 8 brougham
intended for two, but into which three
or four are squeezed, and the always
possible clumsy partner may literally
put his foot in 1t" some evening. and,
pouf! the frock is a ruin. The very
lowest price for a gown of this de-
scription, p~rettily made. would be $50.
o the same price,, or perhaps less
money, n can provide oneself with
an artistic frock which will see one
safely through a dozen festivities and
can be cleaned and used as a dinner
gown afterward.
The liberty stuffs are soft, rich and
light, come in exquisite colors and run
tif~ty-fopr inches wide. Moreover, they
drape beautifully and do not crush, a
great advantage for a frock that must
do hard service. There is another art
satin that can be obtained in pure
silk. 1t costs a little more than the
liberty and is not quite as wide.

GAMES OF CHINESE CHILDREN.
Many OF Them tho Same as Those
Played In America.

NA~hJ '" Ahoth Iue same as TnOHG
Played In America.
There are two theories In regard to
those children's games that are found
to be identical in different lands, One
Is that the games are borrowed by the
younger people from the older; the
other, that the games are of ~independ-
emf invention. Some light is, shed on
this question by passage from IA
Corner of Cathay." "a game called
the water demon seeking q dem is
played by five persons, precisely like
'puss in the corner. This Is a native
game, not an imported one, and no
one knows whether Chinese and Eu-
ropean children invented 1t independ-
emily or whether the knowledge of It
was inherited by both from ancient,
common ancestors, The same may
be said Of the cats CRADLE which L.
made with a string and passed from
one pair of hands to another, precise
iy as among children in America and
Europe; but the Chinese call 1t
saving wood in reference to final
act in the performance. A game in
volving much muscular exercise is
called the lame chicken 1t is played
by jumping on one foot between shoes
that have been placed across a road
at intervals of about ten inches. When
the end of the line of shoes Is
reached the last shoe in the line is
kicked away by the lame foot, and
then 1t Ia picked up and carried back
over the route to the other end OF
the line, when a second shoe may be
likewise kicked away and picked UP
before returning. Only n foot may
touch the ground, and 1t must touch
1t only ono in each interspace. No
shoe may be touched except the ones
which end the line, and the shoes
kicked away must be picked UP with
out putting the lame foot upon the
ground. When the chicken violates
any of these rules he must at once
give place to another performer. The
shorter the line the more difficult 1t
is to collect shoes, because each shoe
taken involves turning around with
out using the lame leg. The winner
in the game is he who has at the end
Of it the greatest number of Shoes"

Those generals are terribly hot-head-
ed fellows, from Miles away down the
line to Tanner. Gen. Miles says things
about Gen. Eagan, and Gen. Eagan
savagely answers, going so far as to
invent a few new brands of liars to
call Gen. Miles in order that no point
may be overlooked. And then comes
Gen. John Riley Tanner with an as
sault on the good and gentle Gen. John
McNulta, who in turn fires a few words
In reply. If the far-famed physical
director of the Athletic club desires to
win renown of everlasting quality he

Report comes from Europe that a
quarrel has arisen between Kaiser
Wilhelm and his chancellor, Prince
Hohenlohe. 1t a not be a very vio-
lent quarrel, for Prince Hohenlohe is
little more than the kaiser's hired
man." Since Bismarck's fall the
kaiser's ministers have become what
those of Frederick the Greats were, a
collection of secretaries and mere de-
partment heads. 1t Is about time for
Prince Hohenlohe to fall, that is to de-
velop sufficient independence to COM
pei his retirement from Office.

Poison Hunger.

More than the hunger after bread,
more than the frenzy of love or hatred,
the poison-hunger overpowers every
ether instinct, and even the fear of
death. In Mexico, the surgeon of the
Second zouaves was one night awak-
eped by the growing of his spaniel.
and thought he saw man crawling out
of his tent. The next day the captain
informed the company that some fellow
had entered the hospital camp with
burglarious intent, and that he had in
structed the sentries to arrest or shoot
all nocturnal trespassers. About o
week after the doctor was again awak-
ened by his dog, and, lighting a match,
he distinguished the figure of a large
man crawling from under his table car
rying a large book. He called for him
to stop, cooking his pistol at the same
time, but the fellow made rush for the
door, and at the same moment was
floored by ball that penetrated his
skull. He lived long enough to confess
his desperate enterprise. His regiment
had been stationed at Algiers, where
he learned to smoke opium, and having
exhausted his supply and his financial
resources, he felt that life was no long
or worth living, and resolved to risk
it in the attempt at abducting the doc
