NEAT PARLoR GAMES.
How TO Play at Mind Reading and
Make the Sport Interesting.

How TO Play at Mind Reading and
Make the sport Interesting.
First I'll tell you how to play a mind
reading in a way that will probably
puzzle your friends for good while.
Let Mary be the mind reader; she
must then select confederate, per-
son quite as important TO success as her
self. Tom would answer better, per-
haps, than girl, as lie is more likely,
perhaps, TO have watch of some sort.
and the watch is a sort of second con-
federate.
All the company except Mary now
troop into room selected for the ex-
pertinent; they decide on some object
which Mary is TO discover as the sub
ject selected for them all to think about
it must be understood that this sub
ject is some definite, material article
in the room. The gas is now turned
out, and all go out again; Mary meets
them and begs that they will all for a
few moments fasten their thoughts on
the thing selected; this being done in
an impressive silence.
Mary goes in the room in the dark,
and in moment returns and tells what
il is they have been thinking about.
Tom, you see, has left the dark room
last, and has left his watch on the Sc
lected object; he. perhaps, has taken
part in the discussion as to what it
should be, because he wants something
that his watch can indicate conclusive
~. The ticking of the watch leads
Mary Alright, and she picks up the watch
and the information at the same time
and conceals the one and displays the
other. A luminous match box Will an
swer for a guide as well as a watch.
When a quieter turn is wanted. just
seat every one with a pencil and paper
and ask them to set down from mem
DRY the figures on the clock in the next
room or on the watches in their peck
ets-1ising the characters just as they
are written on the faces of timepieces
All will probably start out with great
confidence, but ten to one no one will
remember that the four in such cases is
not written thus, ~, but thus iii.
If you will arrange to have one part
of the company recognize individuals
in the other part simply by seeing one
eye, you will give another surprise
We think we know the eyes of our
friends, but when it comes to seeing an
eye alone it is more than most people
can do to tell brown one from blue
one; good way to arrange for this
trial is to screen door with newspa-
pers in which hole the size and shape
OF large human eye is cut; or more
holes than one can be cut in it and sew
eral eyes shown at once. The exhib-
tied in this way are in one room and
the scrutinizers in the other-Chicago
Inter Ocean.
