Jnckstones.

Most girls and some boys have played in their time the game Of dbs or knucklebones or jaclistones, but few of them know that the game has existed since the third century E. c. and ia probably still older. How it was played in ancient days no one can tell, but the ankle joint bones of the sheep, OK, deer and pig were used, and the game was called "astrasal," from the Latin word for the ankle joint. In Scotland peb- bles are often employed. whence the name "chuckies." Even precious stones and gold and bronze ''stones" have been used, and In some countries the bones were marked with numbers and colcred to represent kings, queens, knaves and pawns.

The Title of WMra.O

The title Mrs. was in olden time ap. piled to unmarried as well as to mar. ried women and to young as well as old. Sir Walter Scott spoke of Joan. na (unmarried) as Mrs. Joanna Baillie. Although 1t was not perhaps so univer- sal to address quite young children as it was those over twenty-one by the title of Mrs., yet 1t was frequently done. The most ludicrous example of this occurs in the register of burials for the parish of St. Margaret, West. minister. The burial of Milton's second wife and that of his infant daughter, named after her, who died at the age of five months, are both recorded in that register, the name in each case being entered as "Mrs. Katherin Mil. ton," without any mark of distinction save the letter "C'' for "child," after the second name. Even in the reign oi George H., as we read in "Pope's Let
 ters," unmarried ladies used to b. Jtyled Mrs.

To Give the Sack.

Two noblemen in the reign of Maxi milan I.-1564-1566-one German, the other Spaniard, who had each rendered great service to the en- peror, asked the hand of his daughter in marriage. Maximilian said that as he esteemed them both alike it was i'm possible to choose between them, and eide it; but, being unwilling to risk the loss of either by engaging them in deadly combat, he ordered large sack to be brought and declared that he who should put his rival into it should have his fair Helena. And this whimsical combat was actually performed in the presence of the imperial court and lasted an hour. The unhappy Spanish nobleman was first overcome, and the German succeeded in enveloping him in the sack, took him upon his back and laid him at the emperor's feet. This comical combat is said to be the origin of the phrase "glve him the sack" so common in the literature of co &ine.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Halls Ca- tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de- stroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and as. sisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in it's curative powers, that they offer one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testi- monials.

CHINESE MAGIC LANTERNS.
How Their Instruments Differ From Those In Use In This Country.


 Those In Use In This Country.
 The magic lantern, like porcelain, gunpowder and printing, may have been an invention of the Chinese. For mure than twenty centuries 1t has been staple amusement in the Celestial empire and has been developed into many forms unknown to the occident The Middle Kingdom, which has been well termed Topsy Turvy Land, uses the magic lantern in just the opposite manner from what we do, having the light and picture behind the screen, the same as in our parlor amusement of shadowgraphs. The commonest form of the magic lantern in the extreme ori- ent is large box supported on tri- pod or four legged table. The box Is about feet wide by 2 high, and its front is made of ground glass, oiled silk or oiled white paper.
 Over the box is light framework of bamboo and cloth, which reaches to the ground and conceals the operator from the audience, but leaves the glass ex- posed to view. A powerful lamp in front of a concave reflector throws strong light upon the glass or screen, as the case may be. The top of the box and the sides are half open to permit the introduction of small figures. This arrangement gives four distinct classes of instruments. With all four instru- ments the exhibitions are given in the streets, squares and market places. They draw audiences ranging from five to thirty and give an entertainment of from five to fifteen minutes in length. Each spectator is supposed to contrib ute 1 cash, or a twentieth of cent, when the hat is passed around. Gener- ous or enthusiastic patrons frequently give from 10 to 15 cash, so that the av- craze performance nets the proprietor about 2 cents. This seems ridiculous ablebodied man can be hired for cents a day the owner of a successful magic lantern is looked upon as very well to do individual.
 The little plays which are written about the magic figures are as conven- tional as our own immortal Punch and Judy. The wicked tiger" depicts tie career of a absolute animal who from killing pigs, dogs and buffaloes finally eats beautiful maiden and is slain by a Mongolian chief in full armor on horseback. "The wicked wife" forms a compact with the devil, squanders her husbands substance in riotous liv- ing and, in the last scene, hangs her self in a blaze of red fire, while the evil one expresses wild joy in extraor dinary oriental gesticulations. "The cruel magician" "the grateful dragon" "the fairy foxes' and other bits of eastern folklore afford brief sketches, which are as familiar as household words.-New York Post.

 THE LONDON TAPSTER.
Hard Luck Stories That Take the
 Place of open Degging.


 Place of open Degging.
 The plain and open tapster who ac- costs you in the street purely to beg may generally be known by an amaz- ing overpoliteness in opening the con versaton. He is the only person l know who begs pardon for taking the liberty of speaking to you, and by this sign you shall know him. They all be- gin by begging pardon for taking this not so very rare liberty. but only the duffers go on straightway to tap. The proficient tapsters approach the tap sideways, so to speak. Something like this, with quick touch of the hat brim:
 Beg pardon, sir, I'm sure l 'umbly beg your pardon for takin' the great liberty of speakin' to you in public thoroughfare like this, which am quite aware 1t is great liberty, sir, though trustin' you will kindly pardon the great liberty of pore, 'ardworkin' man, sir, in takin' the great liberty of askin' if this street Is the 'Aymarket, sirT GOT the way to the Strand or the day of the month, or something)
 You answer the question, but you don't stop the stream of apologetics. Thank you, kindly, sir," pursues the tapster, pouring out the words, thank you kindly, sir, If you'll so far pardon the liberty of pore. 'ardworkin' man, sir, in askin' the question, which un- fortunately I was forced to take the great liberty, sir, through bein' out O work eighteen months an nothink to eat since last Toosday fortnight, sir, upon my word of honor. which nothink but the cries for bread of fourteen young children in arms would prevail on me, sir-so igstreme kind as you've bin to me, sir, which shall never for get-to take the very great liberty, sir, in public thoroughfare, of askin' which is the nearest work ouse"
 If once more you give him informa. ton instead of coppers, you only pro- yoke another speech of the same sort, for he can go on like that for a deal longer than you want to listen. It is only in the extreme that he will direct ly ask for money, though I fancy that 1t is merely caution that marks his guarded way, as they say in the lyric for if accused of begging by some watchful policeman he can always plead that he was only asking harm. less question. And the questions are endless in variety. I give my solemn word that I was once buttonholed by one of these seedy tapsters with the apologetic request that I would tel. him the number of stars on the na. tional flag of the United States! This is simple fact.-Leonard Larkin in the Strand.
