to one of the two players who are assigned to this penalty. At a
signal, each player puts his piece of string in his mouth, and with
hands behind back chews rapidly at the string, trying to get it all
into the mouth. The one who first gets to his piece of candy is
rewarded by having both pieces.

CONSTANTINOPLE.--The player is required to "Spell Constantinople, one
syllable at a time." As soon as he gets to the letter "_i_," all of
the other players shout the following syllable, "No!" The speller
naturally thinks that he has made a mistake, and commences again. Each
time that he gets to the letter "_i_," the same cry of "No" is made,
and the poor victim may become very much confused, and doubt his own
memory as to spelling before he discovers the trick.

CORDIAL GREETING, A.--This penalty is imposed upon two players at
once. They are blindfolded and led to opposite corners of the room.
They are then told to go toward each other and shake hands.

CRAWL, THE.--The player is required to leave the room with two legs
and come back with six. He does this by bringing a chair with him when
he returns.

DANGEROUS POSITION, A.--The player is required to sit upon the fire.
This is done by writing the words "the fire" on a slip of paper, and
then sitting on it.

ENNUI.--The player is required to yawn until he makes some one else
yawn.

FOOTBALL.--A ball the size of an orange is made of crumpled paper. It
is placed on the floor, and the player is required to stand at a point
three times the length of his foot from the ball. From this point he
is required without bending the knees to kick the ball out of the way.

FORUM, THE.--The player is required to make a speech on any subject
assigned by the judge.

FOUR FEET.--The player is required to put four feet against the wall.
He does this by placing the feet of a chair against the wall.

GRASSHOPPER.--The player is required to hold one foot in his hand and
hop on the other around the room.

HAND-TO-HAND.--A player is given some small article to hold in each
hand, such as a flower or lead pencil, and required to stretch both
arms at full length sideways, the right arm to the right and the left
arm to the left. He is then required to bring both articles into one
hand without bending shoulders or elbows; or, to state it differently,
without bringing the hands any nearer together. This may be done by
placing one of the objects on a table with one hand, turning around,
and pick
