Questions and Answers.

Each player is furnished with a pen
ell and two slips of paper On the first
slip a question Inast be written. The
papers are then collected and put into
a bag or basket.
Then the players write an answer on
their second slip. These are put into
a different bag, and the two bags are
then well shaken and handed round to
the company.
Every one draws question and an
answer and must then read the two
out to the company.
The result is sometimes very comicsi.
For instance:
Do you like roses?
Yes, with mustard.
Where are you going TO this summer
am very much afraid Of them.
Do you like beef?
Yes, without thorns.
Do you like spiders?

Oriental Greetings.

Some of the oriental modes Of salu-
tation are very peculiar. For instance,
in central Tibet the custom Is for the
saluter to stick out his tongue. hold
his right ear, rub his left hip and bow
deeply, all these motions being car
ried on at once Certainly the other
fellow need have no fear Of personal
assault from the subject Of these curl
Gus antics. Less ludicrous, but equally
reassuring. is the Chinese custom Of
rubbing noses on Bonded knees. The
salaam or profound bow Of india and
the Mohammedan countries serves a
similar purpose.-St. Nicholas.

defect that made It practically use

Gaga took 1t to famous veterinary.
