In turn each of the other payers "played their cards" in thu some way, but if one of them happened to ploy a card with the same value as one already lying on the table, he cried “B'napi" He could then take up his Own card or cards and also the cards belonging to the person snapped. and slip them into his palm under the cards already there. Sometimes both called "Snap" and the one adjudged to be flrst got the cards. A ten, say. of diamonds could

clubs, etc. Court cards were treat- ed in the same way. When snap was called in error the p`ayei~ for- feited all cards he had on the table. It was quits exciting: all the players flashed looks like lightning round the circle of cards at every play. As a player was ~“skin.ned" he fell out oi’ the game, and at last the winner had the who‘e pack. It took a good many dea‘s for that, though.

“Beggar-my-neighbour" might be

played by two or more players. The cards are dealt and held the same way as in "Snap" The top card is slipped off in the same way but laid face upward in the centre of the table, and the next piayer cov- ers it, in the same fashion. The scoring may be illustrated thus. The first man, say, leads s ten (not a. court card.) the second puts a two on it: all by chance, because' they cannot see the cards in the hands. The third may put down a court card and now there is some-i thing doing; he stands to win the former two, but depends on the' fourth player. Suppose th, card is an ace, the fourth player hasthe priviiege of playing four cards on to it. If all the four are low cards. player No. Three takes the lot and slips them under his pack in his left hand. But if one of No. Qs cards is e. court card, No. 3's chance is gone. Suppose No. 4 plays a. Queen, No. 5 must then play two cards, and as before if both are low cards, No. 4 takes the lot. The

Lastly tha clumps are put. into a permanent storage, oovering them with earth, sand, peat moss, or whatever has been found sati;i’actoi-y in the past.
