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

Other vestiges of unlawful recreation of

are occasionally fonnd— for instance,

W h e n Hansoms A r e Dangerous.
The hansom cab is perhaps the most
convenient hackney carriage in the
world. It is light and handy to drive,
reasonably safe, and, to the trained Lon
doner, not too difficult to enter. Bnt it
has one Berious drawback, of which we
are reminded every returning winter.
This is that :Se seat is very liable to
get damp in wet weather. A m ile or
tw o’s sitting on the soaked cushions
may easily result in rhenmatism, sciati
ca or a general chill, ending in a more
or less serions illness.
The hansom cabman is very amenable
to public opinion, and i f the public gen
erally were to take to examining the
state of the cushions before engaging
the cabs it is probable that means
would be found to keep them dry. Even
as it is, the men take a good deal of
pains, but are not too w e ll seconded by
their “ fares,” who are very disposed to
get out, leaving the doors open, where
as a moment’s care w ill shut them.—

M i-t th e Em ergency.
The follow ing incident happened at
the Criterion theater in London the oth
er evening. A t the end of one of the
scenes Mr. Wyndham tells a fellow actor
'o go down stairs aud he w ill follow
him in three minutes. Then, us he takes
ont his watch, the enrtain should de
scend. On this occasion, however, it
failed to do so, aud the Squire of Dames
reclined on tbe sofa, patiently waiting,
ku almost painful pause occurred. The
curtain jerked, bnt would not fu lfill its
mission, aud Mr. Wyndham, realizing
the sitnation, again pnllcd ont liis
watch, and said, “ Ah, tw o minutes
have passed.” There was another pause,
after which he arose and announced
that “ the tim e was np and be must g o .”
As he left the stage the curtain at last
descended, and Mr. Wyndham’s ready

“ Because I had something to impart
