London " Punch "

TT was concocted in the back parlor of pub
lie house, behind Drury Lane Theater
The first editor of " Punch" was the landlord
of that tavern, and in that room assembled
almost every night some of the most lively
wits of the day-more noted, as Dion Bouci-
cault tells, for wit than money. The land
lord made punch, and around the bowl those
men would sit drinking, smoking, and crack
ing jokes.
The landlord proposed that their jokes
should not be wasted, that their wit should
start comic paper. A good idea; but what
name to give it?
What name? The child should have its
fathers name And the landlord pointed to
the bowl of punch. And the paper was
started. 1t struggled for about a year,
and then was sold for one hundred pounds to
Bradbury & Evans, the firm that printed it.
The best writers in England FASTENED to their
standard. 1t has the notoriety of being ex-
PEELED from several kingdoms on the continent
of Europe.

 The description of charades should have been left for the last, because it affords a true climax. Lucky are the children who can go rummaging and have in store for the party a whole lot of old clothes with which to imperson- ate the familiar home figures. This game requires an intelligent person to oversee 1t, and the children should enter into it with much seriousness. which gives an added charm to 1t. It is great fun to see little follow come in wearing an old hat and shawl of his mammals or little girl clothed in . large vest with silk hat pulled down over her ears.

 Game Of Plum Pudding"
 This game has been played for years in this country under many names. but a. near as can be learned the above name is proper.
 A round piece of wood or tin pan is provided and titled Plum Pudding '' The company proceed to choose part. ners by fixing upon two generals, Gen. Kettle and Gen. Pot.
 These oflcers then commence choos. ing alternately soldiers from among the company. performing the cere- mony of comforting title with some unique speech. Kisses might do in place of words when the soldier is . woman.
 The titles should be confined to names familiar in the culinary art. as Lieut.. Cen. Duck or Carver. Maj. Gen. Munin or Fork. Col. Coffee Pot or Car. rot. Mat. Corkscrew or Ladle. and Pri. vate Potato or Peach, and 90 forth un. til all the players have been chosen.
 The game begins with Cen. Kettle, who takes the Plum Pudding" (the plate) between his finger and thumb, ready for spinning on the table or floor. and commences his narrative thus:
 "As I was sitting on the fire this morning. sputterins with rage at hay. ing no enemy to boil. who should come along in bag and string but old Plum Pudding. The moment he caught sight of me he ran on. I after him. When turning around . corner I saw Maj. Corkserew-"
 At this word Cen. Kettle spins the "rlum Pudding" which 1t is Mat. Corkscrew's duty to keep up and con tinue the story until he mentions Plum Pudding and the assumed name of another player.
 Forfeits are exisible for letting the ~Pium Pudding" fall. for spsakins of yourself as . human being and for fAilins to continue the story properly. e by falling in the narrative by call. ing an enemy by . wrong title.
 When enough forfeits have been collected penalties arc then imposed by the two generals. the performance of which is required before the forfeit is returned.

The game. however. is all mirth. Two of those that take part in 1t are seated side by side. Over the head of each is placed an outstretched newspaper In this paper two holes are cut The paper conceals the head of each of the play CTS beneath and only the eyes are vis- ible through the ->.e holes. The ob- ject of the game is for the rest of the players to guess the ownership of the eyes as they see them by holding a candle close to them
 "5Iow Out the Candle"
 About as popular as this game is "Blov Out the Candle One of the party is sent from the room. He or she returns blindfolded. A candle burns in the room. around which the other merrynakers gre gathered The blindfoIded player must advance to the candle and blow it cut
 It looks easy. but it isn't.
