Forfeits for Fun.

II oiten becomes necessary to punish some
one, or more, Of the company by imposing
a"Forfeit." The pennance should be some
thing that either is not easy to follow out
to the letter-that is, has some catch in it,
or puts the person 10 conspicuous aud
amusing light. In all cases forfeit should
be designed to amuse the company as a
whole aud never to offend the person called
upon to pay it, In order to illustrate our
idea of good forfeit, and also to furnish
suggestions to those who enjoy and take
part in such pleasant amusoments, we give
few of the iorfeits that may be imposed.

the morning train, which reached its des-
tinatiou in safety, but the cabman oversight,

train-thc one which was buried in the
quicksands at the bottom Of the river.
Another instance of train-missiug turned
out moro happily. A gentleman was de-
termined to goto Dundee. notwithstanding
his wiles entreaties, and that prudent lady
took pains to have the cabman behind

train. He was angry at the time, but is re-
coneiled to the situation now, and entertains

wisdom. Another man lost his life though

Some idea Of the magnitude az The bus

the fact that Europe and British India
alone consume about 10000 gallons Of
handkerchief perfume yearly; that. the
English revenue from French eau de co.

the total revenue of England from other
