remain in his home where he is being
watched and nursed by a negro man.
Lewis lived in Brassell Alley. The other
patients are Robert Lodge" Hail Street;
Queen Ivory, Garrison Street; Carrie

inscribed with diagram similar to a
checker board. A lottery known as
"Ripa'' is also a favorite among the
districts. Tho paraphernaiia for this
game is a little more complicated than
the others, consisting of forty little
wooden hemispheres, each containing a
number corresponding with the numbers
on forty cards. These cards are sold to
players, the hemispheres are deposited
In a large bottle and thrown out out by
one and the player whose card number
is first thrown out twice wins the pot.
One of the most curious of the Philip
pine exhibits at the museum Is a large
boat shaped like log of wood containing
fourteen holes in each one of which there
are seven shells. The game Is thought to
be of Arabic origin and is rather compli-
Gated. Another exhibit closely resembles
our modern pool and billiard tables and
balls, and is played not unlike our own
game.
The collection includes other interset-
ing games, among them "pungitan. a
game of shooting with a shell at a small
er shell placed in a ring; 'tabita,' a
board game. PLAYED with a diagram and a
disk which is Tipped in the air; cara

en- tablet with painted numbers from one
to twelve. and a corresponding number
of numbered cards; 'lause.' a puzzle
game made of bamboo and a foot ball
