WEIGHT POSSIBILITIES OF CARP. Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Games A m o n g Monks. The recreations of the monk were few and monotonous. The chief of them was perhaps the pacing np and down the little walks of the narrow lim its of the cloister and garden, or cemetery, during certain hours of the day, where even such gossipy talk as Jocelyn de Brake- londa tells ns of in his quaint “ Memoirs of the House of S. Edmund at B ury,” in the days o f K ing John, was sternly checked by that obedienciary, the Circa, as he moved about among the brethren •t recreation. There was a bowling green for the novices, which the pro fessed monks seemed to have used at times. These novices and the other schoolboy pupils in the house have left the traces of their games. On the stone benches of the Gloucester cloisters, where we know these boys were taught, and where they spent a portion of their lives, are playboards not obscurely marked in the stones. These gamebcards for “ fox and geese,” “ Nine men’s M orris,” “ in aud out” and other games are found in oth er conventional building at Westmin ster, Norwich, Salisbury, Durham, etc. Other vestiges of unlawful recreation of the more youthful dwellers in a monas tery, such as cutting aud carving the stones with letters and other devices, are occasionally fonnd— for instance, half way up the winding stair of the great tower at Gloucester there is a rough little figure in the perfect dress of a burgher of the time of the wars of the roses, evidently the secret w ork of a youthful amateur carver in stone. In some monasteries the monk was al lowed to possess and to amuse himself with strange pet animals, snch as apes, peacocks, falcons and even tame bears. — Quarterly Review.
