Except when people are dreadfully
stupid and wanting in the simplest
principles of the game. The Cemmo-
dore was my partner often, and his
luck more than his play used to carry
us through. If he had stuck to whist
entirely, he might have done pretty
well, but playing Boston spoiled his
game. Well, once we were playing to-
gether and every game it seemed to
me he might have saved the Commo-
dore lost by his bad play. When we
were through think We must have
lost some five games straight, the
Philadelphians winning-and the Com
modore and I were at table alone,
I said: Commodore, you can't play
whist with these gentlemen; they are
too strong for you. You can't play
cards. Sir, better than you kept hotel
I said it pleasantly, and the Comma
dore did not take it amiss.

scampering over muddy bays. and found
fond of attaching themselves to almost

though they have lost all their spine

pendages were attached form a sort

over the surface of the animal, and
you can trace in this pattern the lines
along which the spines and suckers
were arranged when the animal was
living. The broader rays, with the

spines were attached. The narrower

One Of the most extraordinary jul
dicial errors on record was rectified in
the first week OF. this year in Bristol,
England. A man named Lewes had
been convicted on charge Of stealing
books. A few days later it was found
that the Grand Jury had failed to find
true bill against him, and had igner-
ed the charge for want Of evidence.
Nevertheless the magistrate had con-
victed him, although he had not even
been indicted, and when the order for
his release, he had been close cropped
and dressed in convicts uniform.
Lewes threatened an action for dam
ages, but his chance Of redress prob
ably depends largely upon his pecu-
MARY means.
