The IseanOn MhY.

Backgammon boards are made to
look like books because Eu les, bishop
of Sioily tried to stamp out backpam-
mon In the fifteenth century. Eudes
decided IN 1857 that his clergy devot-
ed more time to backgammon and
chess than was good for their spirtu-
el welfare, and therefore ordered that
all backgammon and chess boards In
the Siollian monasterie8 should be
destroyed. Toe willy monks only pre-
tented TO obey. They bound their
boards In calf, put piCus titles on
their backs, and put them on the
book shelves along with the monastiC
works. Thus Endes was satisfied and
the monks not deprived OF their inno-
cent games, and thus arose the Gus.
tom OF constructing hackg ammon and
chess boards to resemble folios.
