These games are amusing as showing
how defective a thing is memory, how apt
1t is to desert US under fire. 1t is very
queer to mark the difference of character
exhibited by the players.
Another very funny game is "Confes-
sions by Die" played with cards and

counting the company, writes down sin

be made very amusing.

are again distributed and the writers fore
cast the future. OF course, the secretary
throws in all sorts of other questions, and
when the game is through the papers are
read. They form curious, heterogeneous
piece of reading. Sometimes such curious
bits of character reading crop out that one

are read by everybody. That would be a
barren house where we did not find Scott,
Byron. Goldsmith, Longfellow, Tennyson,
Browning, Bret Harte and Jean Inglow.
Therefore there would be little embar-
rassment if we ask the members of the cir
Gle around the evening lamp to write a
parody on Evangeline, Lady Clara We're
de We're or the Heather Chinee. The re-
suit is amusing.
Among games requiring memory and at
tention we may mention Gross Pur-
poses;" ''The Horned Ambassador" 81
Love My love With an A, the 'Game of
the Ring" (arithmeticaD ''The Deaf
Man." THE Goose's History" "Story
Play" which consists in putting a word
into narrative so cIeverly that it will not
readily be guessed, although several may
tell different stories with the word re-
peated. The best way to play this is to
have some word which is not the word,
like Ambassador" IF the word be banana
for instance) SO by thus repeating Fam
bassador" the listener may be bafiled The
dutch Conceit." MY Lady's Toilette"
"Scheherazades Ransom" are also very
good.
This last deserves description. Three

rished artist. and the pure atmosphere
and brilliant hues of Nile landscapes make
everybody wish to preserve some more or
less faithful memoranda of them. We
agreed 10 take the captain and crew al

ways.
The crew consisted of ab out seventeen
hands, docile and friendly Egyptians, full
OF quiet fun and fairly ready to do the hard
work OF the voyage, which is occasionally
very hard Indeed, since the men have to

push the vessel off sand banks, to watch

tor hours together to toll along the bank
with the tow rope braced round their
lazy craft along at about mile and half
or two miles per hour A very serious and
elaborate document has to be signed be-
fore embarking between the hirer and the
captain, specifying the sums to be raid
and the dates of payment, with certain
pledges of "backsheesh" or presents in
money if all goes well and satisfactorily.
As will be seen the Bedouin was fated
never to return. The decree of the gods
was written that she should leave her
bones in the bed of the Nile, among all
the countless wrecks of ancient and
modern craft-Ptolem9an gallevs and
Nubian "bugias'' must ill the
hidden slime OF the Father of Waters. !"
But of this dark edict of Thoth and Knepth
we happily know nothing, and never was
any party more joyous or full of antici-
pated pleasure than ours when we went
finally on board and settled down tor
start, the red ensign of England futtering
at the mainmast and the bright little
name pennon at the point of the lateen
yard.
Sailing the Nile thus, day after day, is
surely the very ''cream of the cream" of
travelling, with good dahabeeah, a we'll
fitted company of holiday makers and
rightly chosen crew. Our ship, though
Old, was stanch and comfortable; our
party, perfect in harmony and numbers,
and the hands won daily more

absurd little foibles and to make the most

Princess before him with her hands bound
behind her. The NiZier then makes an
absurd proclamation, that the Princess,
having exhausted all her stories, is about
to be punished unless sufficient ransom
be offered. All the rest of the company
then advance in turn and propose eng
mas. which must be solved by the Sultan
or Nizier, sing the first verse of song,
to which the Vizier must answer
with the second verse, or recite any
well known piece of poetry in alternate
lines with the Vizier. Forfeits must be
paid either by the company when success
fully encountered by the Sultan and Vizier
or by the vizier when unable to respond to
his opponents, and the game goes on till
the forfeits amount to any specified num-

be victorious and obtain the greatest num-
Der of forfeits, the Princess is released and
the Vizier has to execute all the penalties
that may be imposed upon him.
If otherwise, the Princess is led to execu-

low stool. The penalties for the forfeits.

written on slips of paper and put in bas-
