THE GAME OF TELEGRAMs.

THE GAME OF TELEGRANIS.
Another form of recreation, and not
strain on the mind, yet entertaining, to
which may be added the anticipation of
prizes, is that of kilograms. Each person
is supplied with a sheet of paper upon
which are written ten letters, from which,
in their order, kilograms are to be writ
ten. These are then read to the COM
pany, and a prize given for the most
clever and what may be voted the worst
For example, take the letters:
1-y-w-a-t-n-t-t-d-g.

To touch Fussys soft hair,
These organs of sense
