H. P. C.--The quail builds its nest on the ground, among bushes or tall
grass. The nesting-time is early in June, and when you find ten or more
little white eggs, you may be sure the bird has commenced setting. The
eggs are about the size of a pigeon's egg, and pointed at one end like a
boy's wooden top. When the little birds are hatched they are as strong
as little chickens, and the mother bird takes them off to ramble about
the thicket in the same way as a hen leads her brood. The quail is a
plump grayish-brown bird, speckled with black and white. Its peculiar
whistle may be heard anywhere in the country all the long summer day.
Children often imitate the sound, and imagine that the quail is always
screaming "more wet"; and in truth the quail's note does resemble those
words, with a short, quick accent on the last sound, as if the bird was
constantly entreating nature for a refreshing summer shower.

A. S. DAGGETT.--You do not need cards to play the geographical game. If
you wish, you can get blank cards, and write them yourself; but the game
is made more lively and instructive by leaving the answers to the
geographical knowledge and quick memory of the players.
