ANOTHER NEW GAME.

At a party, the other evening, a rather odd and interesting amusement was indulged in. The hostess provided pencils and very long strips of paper. At the top of the strip some one drew a little sketch ; this was parsed on to the next person, who wrote at a little distance underneath it as clear a desciiption as possible, then folded the paper over so as to conceal the drawing and passed it on again. The one who received it read the description, then attempted to draw, as nearly as might be, the article described, f >lded the first desciiption and passed the paper on as before. The p»per went the rounds of the dozen or fifteen guests, and the compaiison between the first and the last pictures and the desciiptions thereof were amusing in the extreme. Such exercises may be made to leach veiy useful lessons. They show, for one thing, that no two people agree in their estimates of facts. A few evenings of this sort in a community might have important results if any of those who indulge in the practice weie ever called up on the witnessstand. It would teach them what many people could never learn anv other way, that there is nothing so uncertain in this world as being perfectly sure of a thing.
