THE COBWEB PARTY. A New and Unique Game and How It Is Played. The following description of the “cobweb party" is given by a writer in the New York Star: A central point in a house is selected, say the chandclicr in the at parlor, and to thisa number of strings are at- tached, according to the number of guests who have been invited to take part inthe game. There may be twen- ty-five, or fifty, or even mo Then these strings arc twisted about the chairs, around table legs, through key- holes, down-stairs into the dining-room, out tothe kitchen, upstairs again into the bedroom, and, in fact. all over the house. These strings make the cobweb. At the end of each is a prize, which acts as a stimulant to the guests, to each of whom a string is assigned, to follow his or her thread to its termination through its many devious and provoking inter- twinings. In Chicago the cobweb party has become so popular that men are em- ployed to prepare houses when one is announced, and it sometimes takes three days to get a large house ready. When the guests get to following up the strings there is plenty of fun, as they mect in all parts of the house, cross and recross each other's pathay get their feet tangled up in the threads, and have a great many funny experi- onces. DANGEROUS GROUND. An Insecuro Foun ation Upon Which te Khuild a City. “San Salvador is all on a volcano,” said Senor Jose Fulano, of Pasolibre, to aChicago Tribune man at the Grand Pacific the other day. ‘It has been three times destroyed by earthquakes, but the people get used to it and do not seem to mind it. It cc at intervals, and, really, while it makes one excessive- ly nervous, there is little danger to life. IT have known the shocks to come as fre- quently as eighty times in an hour. ‘Tho effects are quite peculiar. In the city of Salvador is a brick column nine feet high and three feet square. That was shoved some one hundred feet with- out losing its perpendicularity or crack- ing the mortar. “The ground under the city of Sal- vador is full of caverns of unknown depth. A man was digging s well there. The last stroke he gave with his pick the bottom fell out, and he and his pick and all fell through nobody knows where; to China probably. There is a volcano not far from Salvador that some years ago discharged lava over a forest. The wood all burned, of course, but the lava being light and casily cooled hard- ened into long areades through which one may walk, and as you go you can see th imprint of the trunks and branches of the trees in the now cooled | lava.” Speed in Writing. A rapid penmancan write thirty words in a minute, says a writer inthe Chicago Evening Journal. Todo this he must draw his quill through the space ofa rod—sixteen and a-half feet. In forty minutes his pen travels a furlong, and in five ho and a-third a mile. We make, on an average, sixteen curves of the pen in writing cach word. Writing thirty words in a minute, we must make four hundred and eighty-cight to each minute; in an hour twenty-cight thou- sand cight hundred; in a day of only five hours, one hundred and forty-four thou- sand; and in a year of three hundred days, forty-three million two hundred thousand. The man who made one mil- lion strokes of a pen ia a month was not at all remarkable. Many men make four million. Here we have in the ag- gregate a mark, three hundred miles long, to be traced en paper by each writer ina year. In making h letter of the ordinary alphabet, we must make from three to seven strokes of the pen— on an average, three and one-half to four. The English County Council. The inner life of the London county council is, according to the London Star, of the most simple character. The council does not dine together; it teas. The tea-room is the most primitive of institutions. The tea is handed round butter and cake are of a thoroughly dem oer: The noise of the de- pe. bate comes through the door which opens on to the council. The bulk of the tea-room has the simple, unconver- tional air w marks the whole assem- bly, and makes such a refreshing con- trast to the pomposity and well-fed city s | | ~ | are mar TOBACCO IN FRANCE.

Franc © are clined to put as the lowest among civilized tobacco-consum- ing countrie The handof the Govern- | ment makes itself felt all through. The three kinds of foreign tubacco which are admitted into France are purchased on Government account, and they are about equally bad. The native-grown tobacco is wholly wanting in fragran and it has thedoubtful meritof being very strong, or, as we should term it, very rank. Care is further taken that no one with capital at command shall be suf- fered to open a tobacco shop. The whole scheme works out as we might expec There is small chance anywhere, and only between bad and wor: It would, perhaps, do something to reconcile the English working-man to his lot in life if he had the means of comparing his position with atof his fellow in France. The Englishman has not only higher wages and shorter hours of work, but he can also purchase at threepence an ounce a kind of tobacco by no ineans of the highest quality, but nevertheless far superior to any which either a French workman ora French millionaire can hope for in his own country. We do not know what value our working classes set on a common privilege which comes to them as a mat- ter of t course, but we believe there would be w rebellion to-morrow if it were taken away and they were com- should we not been abun- pelled to smoke caperal, no: dare to say that it had dantly provoked. POLLY AND THE HENS. Ae Educated Parrot Thit Got Herself Into Troubie. Our next door neighbor, writes a cor- respondent of Munson’s World, owns an amusing parrot which is always getting into mischief, but generally gets out again without much trouble to herself. When she has done any thing for which she knows she ought to be punished, she holds her head to one side and, ey- ing her mis in a sing-song tone: Polly irl’* until she then she flaps “Hurrah! ras been al- lowed to ¢ in the garden, where she promenades back and forth on the walks, sunning herself and warning off all intruders. One morning a hen strayed out of the chicken yard and was quietly picking up her breakfast, when Poll marched up to her and called out “Shoo!” in her shrill voice. The poor hen retreated to her own quarters, running as fast as she could, followed by Poll, who screamed “Shoo!” at every step. A few days later Poll ended her m gz walk into the chicken yard. Here, with her usual curiosity, she went peering into every corner, till she came to the old hen on her nest. The hen made a dive for Poll’s yellow head, but missed it. Poll, thinking discretion the better part of valor, turned to run, the hen, with wings wide spread, following close after. As Poll screamed in her | shrille: ! O Lord!” A member of amily, who had witnessed th« ce, thought it time to inter behalf, as the angry hea was gaining on “ner. He ran out and stooping down held out his hands. Poll lost no time in traveling up to his shoulder. Then from her high vantage cround she turned and, looking down on her fve, screamed: *‘[ello there! Shoo!” The frightened hen returned to her nest as rapidly as she had come. Horse Sense. The intelligence of the horse has just been demonstrated at Vesper. near Syacuse, N. ¥.

Thus he stands on the coun strikes some lf t If to u the little for the time him, and munches away at his fuod with frequent sips from his mug. When he gets his first selection down his throat he walks to another sideboard and selects some other delicacy. Of course there are clerks and tash- iers in each of the restaurants, but none of them seem to pay attention to the wanderings of a customer. He is free to gu where he pleases and sclect every thing and any thing he likes. In a little place of this sort in Nassau Street the customer walks to the desk after he has finished eating, or more probably while chewing his last mouth- ful, and says to cashier: “Two ham custard and coffee.” “Twent ve cents,” says thecashier, and the Dill is paid. The regular customers, however, know the price of all the goods, and walking to the co rlay down a bill and say bel ngs sane hes, “Twenty o or “thi out,” as the case may be, or perhaps the exact chang In Broadway lunch-rooms the custom- er has to figure out his own bill To every dish is attached a card announce: ing the price and on the walls are hung placards giving the prices of all the dishes.

The correctness of the check is never ques- tioned. Thee mers word is taken every time. The men who have put up their cash to back thissystem claim that the percentage of customers who delib- erately cheat the house and get more to eat than they pay for is so small that itis hardly worth noticing. said the man- ager ot the Nassau street room, ‘is not new with America. It was first intro- duced in Scotiand many years ago. Do I lose much from beats? Well, less than you would suppose, Such mean- ness doesn’t happen more than two or three times a week, I am sure. [ think a man who really isa thief and wanted to cheat some man out of a din- ner would sooner go into a big restau- rant than cheat me. “Sometimes a man forgets something that he has eaten and only pays me part of what is due me. Ie rarely fails to remember this, and only the other day a man came in and, after pay- ing his check, told. ms he owed me ten cents which he had forgotten the day be- fore.” At the Broadway restaurant the man- ager told me he lost very little by cheat- ¢ kf though,” said he, “there are absent-minded men who forget what they have eaten. and sometimes a man will walk out with bis check in his pocket. Heruns across it after a time and will be sure to have it and the amount called for the next time he comes in. Once a very popular man in this city—an ex-Governor—came up to the counter with two checks. He said he had carried the first one for a week. He laughed and thought it a very good joke. “No, [don’t lose enough through dis- honesty to make any complaint.

HYGIENIC SKIN TREATMENT. How to Remedy Defects of the Complex- fon. When the complexion is noteworthy for its coarseness and disfigurements of various kinds, such cond:tions may often be remed ed through hygienic treatment. ‘Though « beautiful, clear comp'exion is not to be acquired by artificial means, a bad complexion may often be improved The success of seve eral expensive face lotions depends not so much upon the simple unguents of which they are composed as upon the observat.on of the careful hygienic di- rections given for washing and steam- ing the face before putting on the lo- tion at night and the equally careful directions for washing it off the skin the next morning.

In one of ihe modish clubs of this city, not long ago, says the New York Sun, amember told how he earned his first dollar, and thereupon a score or more of the other members gave in the same line. They all spoke witb the utmost frankness. and some inter- esting revelations were made. One member had earned his first dollar by sawing wood, another by the practice of the law, another by stringing tobac- co, another by the practice of medi- jefne. and others by raising pota- tees, by acting as treasurer of a fund, by working in a button factory, by read- ivg toa blind man, vy building fires in Sthool, by picking wintergreen, by serv- ice aboard ship, by serving as a mes- senger boy, by cruising in the China seas, by piling up cordwood, and s0 forth.
