THE “TWENTY QUESTIONS” GAME.
An Interesting Diversion For a Whole
Itoomfn! of Clever People.
Among tho most ncceptnblo games for
small companies is tho game of "Twenty
Questions,” a great favorite with tho
English, ulthotigh not widely known j
hero.
Tito requisites for “Twenty Questions”
are, first, two rooms, that the company
may bo divided into two sides. The di
vision of tho guests may be done by their
selecting one of two colors in bells, balls
or ribbons, or by tho choosing of sides
after the old fashioned spelling school
style. The hostess must seo to it that
there be nn oven division of tho objects
and exactly the snmo number as there
are guests, in order to prevent the leav
ing out of a friend or other awkward
mistakes. Two leaders or spokesmen
should ho chosen, tho host being natu
rally one of them, and it will also save
further mishaps if tho second leader bo
previously selected and given tho idea of
tho game.
Tho sides being selected either by
drawing of ribbons or by choice of tho
leaders—a method which has its awk
ward side where there aro people sensi
tive to being tho last chosen in a com
pany—each sido retires to its own room
and selects an object which its opponents
aro to discover by tho asking of 20 ques
tions, or as many less than that number
as may be. A scribe is chosen for each
tido to keep a record of tho questions uml
and answers by numbers, that no con
fusion may uriso from misunderstood
questions or replies. To this end each
scribe should keep tally on two sheets of
paper—tho questions of his own side
with tho respective answers on one, and
the opponents’ questions and tho replies
of his own sido on tho other.
Tho object selected may bo inanimate,
animate, ancient, modern or historical,
may exist in fact or fiction, the only
qualification being that it shall lie suf
ficiently well known so that a majority
of the players on the other side may l>o
supposed to have seen or rend about it.
A spirit of fairness should of course bo
shown in the selection of objects, and in
each case tho answers should bo honest
and not hairsplitting, although giving as
little information as possible. Such ob
jects as Ben Franklin's loaf of bread,
which he carried under his nrm ns ho
walked up Market street in Philadelphia,
tho metal cup of tho Washington monu
ment, tho last rail laid on a local rail
road, tho armor of tho Black Prince in
tho Tower of Londoh and Rip Van Win
kle's gun will illustrato the wide range
of choice in objects permissible. After
each sido announces the choice of its
subject through its lenders by knocking
Elach’sido cYeliliWiitPs'tWTno questions
to bo given the other and its own re
plies with closed doors, each guest con
tributing informally his ideas of wording
the roplios and questions and hia guesses
as to the enemy’s object. But communica
tion with tho opposing sido must be con
ducted wholly through the leaders, tho
other people being silent when the doors
open. And the leaders must not
make answers or put questions without
first consulting their respective sides.
Tho doors should never be opened with
out a warning knock. Aliy question is
allowable, the first one being generallj,
“To what kingdom does your object be
long?”—Philadelphia Times.
The Skulls at Malvern If ill.
“I think tho ghastliest sight I ever
saw,” said Sheriff Barnes, “was during
tho late war on tho field of Malvern Hill.
I wus in the battlo and a more terrific
engagement I never witnessed. But that
is not the exact timo to which 1 refer.
About a year after tho battle was fought
my regiment was ordered ont into the
neighborhood of the same old field. Wo
went over tho very same ground, and
there in the open field, exjiosocl to the
torrid suu, were bleaching the bones of
our comrades who fell in that awful en
gagement. It was a sight I shall never
forget. On every sido lay a waste of
skulls—skulls of almost every shape and
size—a modern Golgotha.
“We could not identify them, however,
and could only gaze with a feeling of
sorrow on tho aggregate pile of human
heads that had once beon full of life and
feeling. After tho deeper emotions ex
cited by the spectacle hud worn away I
thought of the infinite variety of shapes
that were presented by the heap. There
were no two of tho same shape or size,
and it was rather a matter of curious
though melancholy interest to inspect
the different skulls as they lay crum
bling in tho sultry atmosphere of that
August day.”—Atlanta Constitution.
Tlie Strike of u Sex.
The women of Africa are taking on ad
vanced airs and trying independent ex
periments that rather out herod tho suf
fragists bore. A strike has taken place
among tho women of tho Akona tribe,
unique in plan and dofinito in purpose.
They protested without avail against the
treatment of the husbands and fathers.
Then they talked it over with the pre
liminary of organization, with no con
stitution and bylaws, and appealed to
another tribe with whom the Akonas
were not on good terms. This tribe
agreed to take in all tho dissatisfied
women, and tho village awakened the
next morning to find all its women and
girls gone and work at a standstill. The
result was a ready assent to all that the
women requested and great rejoicing
when tho industrial element of the town
returned.—New York Sun.
Tlie Stomach mill tlie Tongue.
A bad stomach is a bad thing to own.
It is the sourco of all the badness in the
world, an able member of tho Social
Purity society declares. Drug shops are
full of stuffs) For good digestion many
of them aro best let alone. Fruit salts
and old fashioned salts are not harmful.
Then there are figs—always worth their
weight in gold—and tamarinds from In
dia aro fine. They come in tinfoil, like
many of the oriental fruits, and are sold
by fruiterers at 50 or 60 cents a pound.
No matter what you do, look at your
touguo and keep it red, even if you can’t
keep it still.—Lewiston Journal.
Do Ants Talk?
I one day saw a drovo of the small
black ants moving, perhaps to better
quarters. The distance was some 150
yards. Most nil which came from tho
old homo carried some of the household
goods. Some had eggs, some had what
may have answered for their bacon or
meat; some had one thing and some an
other. I sat Bnd watched them closely
for over nn hour. I noticed that every
time two met in the way they would
hold their heads close together as if
greeting ono another, and no matter
how often the meeting took placo this
name thing occurred, as though a short
chat were necessary.
To provo moro about it, I killed ono
who was on his way. Others being eye
witnesses to the murder, went with
speed, and with .'very ant they met this
talking took place ns before. But in
stead of a pleasant greeting, it was sad
news they hud to communicate, I know
it was sud nows, for every ant that these
parties met hastily turned back and fled
on another course, us much as to say,
“For the king's suko and for your safety
do not go there, for I have seen a mon
ster just behind that is able to destroy
us all at One blow. I saw him kill one
of our family. I do not know how many
moro aro killed." So tho nows spread,
and it was true. How was tho nows
communicated if not by speech.—Maga

Not Too Much Gold.
Gold—not yellow, blit the hue of tho
precious metal—yields the most satisfy
ing color sensation of which the human
retina is cupablo. It behooves the do
signer to employ it most sparingly, save
where an effect of utmost splendor is
aimed at. Unhappily ninny persons with
no right to splendor desire to ho splen
did; everybody, seeing that society lias
beeomo impatient of sumptuary laws,
has a legal right to bo as splendid as ho
can.
Every linckney driver on liis cab, every
publican on Ids promises, every publisher
on tho miserable cloth covers of his
Christmas books, may vie with his neigh
bor and rival in tho cheap and lavish uso
of what is tho ideal of costliness and
rarity in tho fictitious display of what
used to be tho emblem of truth—puro
gold.
The evil resulting from this is twofold.
Gold has alike censed to bo used by tho
designer or regarded by tho beholder
with any reverence, for, tuking excess
ive advantage of that property which
makes it possible to spread it in infinite
simally thiu layers, it is used to impart
merit to faulty design and spurious
value to cheap material. It is not a sin-
obscenn'lftw. Rut every contemptible or

Men Are Not IntcrcHtlns Invalid*.
Women take only too kindly to the
role of an invalid; the sofa, tlio fleecy
whito shawl, tho little cups of beef tea
or plates of oysters. Once let a woman
tasto t he dreamy pleasures of this sort
of existence, and unless some shock or
sense of duty rouses her she will calmly
continue for the rest of her days in the
pleasant path before her. She smiles
sweetly at the little attentions offered
her, she dresses in tho daintiest of semi-
toilets, and she looks so pretty and gen
tle and patient that it seldom dawns on
her husband that the existence is an ig
noble one. But let my lord fall ill, and,
oh, dear, what a different tale io tell!
Tho valet comes flying from the room
followed by a boot, tho cook gives notice
because tho master called tho beef tea
“beastly stuff,” the housemaid is in tears
because she is not allowed to sweep or
dust tho sickroom. Man, noble man, is
a pitiful object when 1)6 is Bick. Get
him thoroughly ill and he is a better pa
tient than a woman, but if ho is merely
laid up for a day or two with a cold or a
bilious attack lie persistently kicks in
stead of wisely enjoying tho rest which a
beneficent nature has imposed on him.—
London Hospital.
IIow Loco Act*.
Loco is often called “crazy weed”
from its direful effect on cattle or horses
when tlioy eat it in any quantity. In tho
beginning the poison is slow in showing
itself. The first symptom is usually a
dull, glassy look in tho eyes, which grad
ually dilate and beeomo wild and staring.
If after this the animal is left to graze
on tho herb, the symptoms will become
more pronounced, the vision becomes
impaired, and the victim develops an
aptitude for grotesque antics, sometimes
rushing madly about. A “locoed” horse
will balk, back, rear and often hurl it
self backward, and has the greatest ob
jection to having its head touched.
The last and fatal stage of tho disease
is a gradual wasting away of tho ani
mal. Cattlo born on the prairies soem
instinctively to avoid the loco. High
grade beasts most easily fall victims to
their partiality for the weed.—Chambers’
Journal.
HOTEL HERMITS.
Men Who Find Solitude In tlie Very Cen
ter* nridvcline...
One of tho most interesting studies in
human naturo about the city is the man
who lives in hotels. I do not mean tlie
commercial traveler or tho man who is
engaged in business of uny kind, but the
man who has nothing to do but to look
around him and enjoy himself. He may
actually enjoy himself, too, for all T
know. I hope ho does. He is interest
ing as nn illustration of what somo men
call enjoyment.
The fashionable hotels of New York—
and unfnshionablo hotels for that mat
ter—aro tho shelter of many men who
aro not in business other than tho busi
ness of looking pretty and observing tho
rest of tho world move. I do not say
they are tho homes of such men—they
merely shelter and feed them.
In many instances this life is that of a
hermit. Possibly a man accustomed to
tho wild, hilarious career offered by a
country hotel may cavil at the expres
sion in this connection, but it is because
such a man does not understand city
ways. A year or two ago a well to do gen
tleman died in a New York hotel. Ho
lmd lived in the hostelry for years, and
yet not a soul—if I may uso the word
soul in speaking of a hotel corporation—
know him iiersoiially or anything about
him beyond the fact that he paid his hills
promptly and regularly. Ho chose to
make no acquaintances and was satis
fied to appear to the hotel managers as
“No. 61, K.,” or by whatever number his
room was designated. The hotel man
agement had changed soverul times, hut
he lived on there, a calm, unruffled ex
istence.
As a guest such a man is a jewel, and
as may reasonably bo supposed he wns
not likely to ho harassed by unnecessary
attentions. When ho died and it was
found that he wus a gentleman of inde
pendent fortune—tho newspapers, of
course, making the discovery—some peo
ple marveled for a day or two and then
forgot him. I recall the incident now
only to illustrato that in a great city like
this what appears to be the most public
life may be in reality the most exclusive.
There aro plenty of men living hermit
lives in New York hotels—as much sous
if they occupied a poor hovel in the soli
tary fastnesses of tho wilderness.
I know men who reside at swell hotels
who do not seek to avoid their fellows,
but who might as well be confined in
tho penitentiary or he dead, so far as
their usefulness to society is concerned.
They remind me of convicts—so appar
ently listless, aimless and inert their ex
istence. They eat, drink and sleep.
Life holds no more inviting cupfor them
than that offered by tho hotel corridor.
Tlinv have exhausted what men call
yment, with no reserve capacity
ical enjoy
for mental pleasure. To a man of somo
temperaments such n life would be a liv
ing death.—New York Cor. Pittsburg

A Negro Woman'. Wonderful llulr.
Hearing tho statement made in Holly
Springs thut aremarkuLlo negro woman
freak lived only a few miles from this
town, your correspondent determined to
obtain the fuels in tho caso.
A middle nged negress greetod tho visit
or. Tho woman is quite dark, of a pro
nounced African typo of physiognomy,
5 feet 3 inches tall, and in fair health, but
has never had any children. She wore a
whito cotton turban tied about her head
and tucked in at the back to support the
immense weight of her hair. This she re
moved and laid upon tho tablo and un
wound tho braids of her wonderful hail',
which went many times around lior head
and dropped upon tho floor.
It was indeed an amazing sight. Three
braids almost as thick as a man’s arm
close to the head, but tapering to tho
thickness of a finger at the ends, closely
plaited nnd measuring 8 feet 6 inches,
braided as it is, in length. It looks a
good deal like Spanish moss, but is dark
er, crinkled and grizzled, coarso and al
most repulsivo to the touch, suggesting
ghastly stories of tho abnormal growth
of hair nfter death.—Mississippi Cor.

Freedom of Opinion Cost* Friend*.
Taino’s history uml analysis of the
French revolution cost him most of hie
republican friends, and when ho pub
lished his volume on the reign of terror
all his Bonapartist intimates deserted
him. The great lady, tlie Princess Ma-
tliilde, a nioco of the great emperor, long
M. Taine’s intimate friend, promptly left
a card on him with P. P. C. in tho cor
ner. “I shall never cease to regret,” said
M. Taino to M. Renan, “having lost sc
old a friend on account of a book.” “My (
friend,” said Renan, “in order to have tlie
right to speak freely my thoughts I broke
with a greater lady than tho princess.”
“What lady?” “The church.”—London

A Remarkable Statue.
Somo years ago a melodrama was be
ing performed in a country theater, the
chief actor in which had made himself,
from his hanghty aud overbearing con
duct, disliked by all. In the last scone
ho was supposed to visit tho tombs of his
ancestors. In the center of tho stage
upon a marblo pedestal stood the statue
of his father. A heavy fold of drapery
covered the figure. Enter Albert, who
thus addressed tho statuo:
“lam here once again to gazo upon
those features which in life so often
looked on me with tenderest affection.
Father, thy mourning sou now comes to
pay thee adoration. Let mo remove the
veil which from tho vulgar gaze shields
the bedoved imago of a once dear parent I”
Off went the drapery and, behold I the
father stood upon his head! The effect
cannot be described. It was electric.
The shouts of laughter which followed
the mistake of tho super effectually put
an end to the scene, which changed to
tho next as quickly ns possible, amid the
jeers of the audience, tho anger of the
manager and tho uncontrollable rage of
tho actor.—London Tit-Bits.
Tlie First Glass Cups.
Tlie first glass cups were made at'
Alexandria. Some were colored like j

cameos. Some were opaline, others clear

opaque layers welded together like the
famous Portland vase, in which tho
white upper layer had been cut away
like that of a cameo, leaving a bluo
ground around the figures.—House Fur* .

. A Tradition of the Flood.
All the northern coast Indians have
a tradition of a flood which destroyed all
mankind, except a pair from which the
earth was again peopled. Each tribe
gives tho story a local coloring, but the
plot of tho legend is much tho samo. The 1
Bella Coola tradition is ns follows;
The creator of the universe, Mes-mes-
sa-la-nik, had groat difficulty in the ar
rangement of the land and water. The
earth persisted in sinking out of sight.
At last ho hit upon a plan which worked
very well. Taking a long lino of twWted
walrus hide ho tied it around tho dry
land nnd fastened tho other end to the
corner of the moon. Everything worked
well for a long time, but at last the spirit
becamo very much offended at tho action
of mankind, nnd in a fit of anger one day
Bcizcd his great stone knife nnd with a
mighty buck severed (lie rope of twisted
skin. Immediately the land began to
sink into tiio sea. Tho angry waves
rushed in torrents up tho valleys, nnd in
a short time nothing wus visible except
tho peak of a very high mountain.
All mnnkind perished in the whelming
waters with the exception of two, a man
nnd his wife, who were out fishing in a
big ennoo. These two succeeded In
reaching tlie top of tho mountain and
proceeded to make themselves at home.
Here they remained for some timo until
tho anger of Mes-mes-sa-la-nik cooled,
which resulted in his fishing up the sev
ered timing nnd ngain fastening it to tho
moon. From this pair thus saved tho
earth was again populated.—Victoria (B.
C.) Colonist.

Hood’s
Much Better Thun Begging.
An urchin 9 years old, with a very
dirty face and a pair of bright eyes, ac
costed a woman as she was hurrying
across the common the other day.
"Please to give mo somo money to get
me something to eat," ho whined.
"No, I won't givo yon any money to
get you something to eat," was tho roply.
The lady mimicked his whine.
Finally she hired him to carry her um
brella to her office, and on their way
thither she gavo him a dissertation on
labor aud its fruits in phrases sho thought
ho would understand. Sho advised him
to go into (ho newspaper business and
loaned him 20 cents to invest in papers,
after ho had signed his namo to a con
tract sho drew up, promising to pny her
immediately he had cleared that amount.
In an hour and a half ho came hack to
tho office proudly and deposited iho
money loaned on her desk. She i,c>k io
cents of It, und he kept the oiler to moke
further investments. The u- vt; day ho
cleared $1.50. He was radiant.
"This is better than bootim . i-n'i it?”
sho asked.
“You bet," he said,
ask you?”
“Yes'm."
"Then bny a cake of soap and uso it."
Ho said ho would nnd went out.—Bos

A Belief That Prove* Troublesome.
A recently returned eastern missionary
says that u small, but persistent, vexa
tion in household affairs is the firm be
lief in the transmigration of souls among
one’s Buddhist servants and its often
ludicrous consequences. For instance,
once on shipboard tlie sailors were di
rected to kill tho cockroaches with which
tho vessel was infested. This they dared
not do, fearing that some ancestor's spirit
might be imprisoned in that most un
likely form. They approached tho ver
min gently, lifted them up on sheets of
paper and dropped them ovorboard in a
manner almost tender «id quito defer
ential.
One young convert clung to her newly
rnado friend during her last illness with
tho constant cry that she feared, when
the end should come, that the old belief
would bo too strong for her, it pressed
so hard upon her that the soul was des
tined for further earthly life. It was a
cause for great rejoicing at-the mission
station that dissolution came in sleep
aud unattended by this horror.—New
York Times.
Faster Sunday. In tlie Future.
The rule for ascertaining when Easter
Sunday occurs may be gathered from
this statement; Easter is the Sunday
which follows that fourteenth day of tho
calendar moon which falls upon or next
after March 21. We give a number of
dates of Easter Sunday, which will be
useful for preservation to such readers
as aro desirous to watch these recurring

Lucky Strikes.
Stories of unexpected fortunes are as
common as blackberries. Somebody is
always making or finding or inheriting
a heap of money which seems to himself
almost to have come from the clouds.
Worthless shares become valuable, as
happened to more than one man in iho
history of Devon great consols. A work
ingman discovers a rich mine, as Mr.
Graham did in South Australia; or a rela
tive from whom nothing was expected
suddenly heaps everything on the kins
man who bored him least, as occurred
last year within our own knowledge in a
southern country. Only last week a pan
per in a poorhouse was declared heir to
£300,000, a sum which he probably could
not have put down accurately on a slate,
but which had been earned in Australia
by a relative who died intestate.—Lon
don Spectator.
