AN AMUSING GAME.
One In Which the Old aa Well as
the Young May Find En-
jOyment.

Hostesses of house parties, and moth
ers expecting their boys and girls home
for the holidays, are often glad to hear
Of new game, or of an old one re-
vived.
A game in which old and young and
almost any number can join is the
bird fancier. A cage of chairs must
be made and arranged in the middle of
the room; then number of pieces
of paper are cut, as many pieces as
there are players. On half the number
the name of bird is written--canary,
thrush, robin, and so On. These pieces
are then folded and put on plate and
passed around to the players. Those
who draw bird must walk into the
cage, and those who draw blanks re-
main in their seats.
A merchant is then chosen, or bird
faneier, who stands in the center of
the cage, and the birds, from that mo-
ment, must never take their eyes from
him. If bird is discovered to be look
ing away, he is instantly commanded
TO pay forfeit.
The other players walk around and
round the cage, doing all in their pow
err to divert the attention of the birds
by talking to them, calling them by
name. Then the merchant cries out:
81 have good many fine birds here
a plump partridge, Eighty canary, a
sulky bullfinch," and so on "Who will
buy?"
A player standing outside the cage
cries: ~ will; describe your birds"
The bird fancier then calls the birds
by name, and tells of their good quail
ties. The fun is in the witty and anus
ing descriptions given by the merchant.
When the purchaser chooses a bird, he

third class and pay about a cent for
three miles.-Detroit Journal.

The Norwegian steamer Ceylon has
lately arrived in port, after voyage of
% days from Bilboa, Spain, with cargo
of iron ore. Capt. Hansen told the pilots
that he had encountered numerous ict-
bergs. On one occasion he altered his
course to avoid one Of the great noun
tains of ice. Soon afterward a fog set
tied down, and when it lifted the berg
was so close on the bow that a collision
seemed inevitable. Squattin upon his
launches, at the very point of the berg
where the vessel would have struck, was
a huge polar bear. The man at the
wheel by quick work managed to turn
the steamer in time 10 avoid a smash
up and, as he glided by, the bear on the
berg gave howl of disappointment
Evidently he had been imprisoned as
long as he wanted to be, for when he
saw his last chance Of escape slipping
away from him he plunged into the wa
ter and swan toward the ship. His legs
were no match for steam, however. and
he was compelled to give up the chase
The last seen of him he had climbed
upon the berg again and was waiting
for something to ppen.--Philadelp

CHINESE OFFICIALS AROUSED
THEY EXPRESS SURPRISE AND REGRET AT
EXECUTIONS WHILE PEACE NEGO-

Washington, Nov. Fit is understood that
the Chinese authorities at Picking have been
profoundly aroused by some of the executions Of
Chinese officials which have occurred of late
ard that hey have made known in an official
way their surprise and regret that this should
