The Origin of whist.

Whist is well-known game at cards,
which requires great attention and silence;
hence the name. 10 be good whist
player requires not only very high mental
and intellectual power, but considerable
study and long practice. This hne game
has always commanded the attention OF
men of the first order of mind. Whist is
unquestiorably OF English origin, though
to The time and place OF lis Eirth we 10 not
possess any precise evidence. Whist is
not mentioned by Shakespeare, nor by any
writer Of the ElIzatethan era, from which
We may inter that the game was then
scarcely in existence. The game seems to
have manifested seductive powers in l63O,
Tor Taylor, the water poet, mentions whist

money tree with carelessness. IL is prob
allie that at this period The character and
friends OF whist were decidedly low. Whist

questionable company of Jonathan Wild.

He Guessed Not.

Not long ago two gentlemen were look
ing out of the window of q house on Mar
ket street, San Francisco, observed cab
bsge roll off a market wagon that was pass
ing. Instantly over dozen welldressed
and apparently sane persons began yelling
after the wagon as though the vegetable
bad been a gold watch or thousand-dol-
lar bill. The driver stopped about halt a
square nf, looked back at the cabbage,
paved and drove on.
''What an absurd fuss people in the
street make over trivial occurrences" said
said one of the gentlemen, 'Now, I'll
bet silk hat that could get crowd OF
five hundred persons round that cabbage
in side of thirty minutes and yet not leave
this ROOM"
'I'il take the bet, "said his friend, pulling
out his watch. 'Are you ready."
''Yes; give the word

The proposer Of the wsger led his friend
to the window, threw up the sash, and,
taking a cane, pointed Earnestly at the mud
covered cabbage with terrific expression.
Presently hack driver noticed the action,
and begnn 10 stare at the vegetable from

then billposter, messengerboy and a

What's the matterl" inquired a Ger
man, approaching the innocent base of his
national dish.
Don't touch it! Look out there!
Stand back" shouted the gentleman at
the window. AT his horror-stricken tones
the crowd fell back precipitstely and FORM
ed dense circle around the innocent cab
bage. Hundreds came running up, and
the excitement increased rapidly.
'.Lvok out there.', franticany screamed

screamed and rushed into shops, and q
storekeeper underneath began to tie a
bucket on the end of long pole with
which TO pour water on the iendlsh inven-
tion. The crowd by this time numbering
over one thousand, the two gentlemen
moved away from the window and sat
down. In q few moments there ives
hurried tap at tine door, and there appeared
a man Vino had been sent as delegate
from the mass-meeting outside.

he said, 'whaI the facts are. ~
''What factsf"

'.Nothing in the world" was the soft
reply, except that it seems to be surround

A CourtIpg IN the OIdcn Days.

Thirty years ago, Michigan people were
a frank and truthful set. Strangers could
come hero aud trade horses with their eyes
nhpA- ~ breach Of pranise csses were
unknown. Folks meant vhat they said, and
when they gave their word stuck to it.
Exactly thirty Years ago this mouth, a
man appeared In Lansing on business. The
same business carried him over to Dewitt,
eight miles away. While on the way he
stopped Ut a log farm house TO warm his
cold fingers. lie was warmly welcomed
by the pioneer and his wife, both of whom
were well along in years, ana after some
general talk, the woman queried:
''Am l right in thinking you are a wId-
ower?'
Yes"
'DId you come out here 10 find wife?"
PARITY"
did anybody tell you of our Susie9"
"No."
''Well we've got as bouncing q girl of
twenty-five rs ever you set eyes on. She's
good looking, hea tiny and good tempered,
and l thInk she II like your looks"
Where Is shefn
''Over in The woods, there, chopping
down d coon tree. Shall / blow the horn
for her."
mo. If you'll keep an eye on my horse
I'll lind her,"
'well, there's nothing stuck up or af-
fected about Susie. She'll say yes or no
as soon as sae looks you over. If you
want her, don't be afraid to say so.'
The stranger heard the sound of her axe
and followed il. He found her just as the
trees were ready to fall. She was a stout,
good-looking glrl swinging the axe ike u
man, and In two minutes he had decided TO
say:
susie, I'm a widower from New York
state; Pm thirty-nine years Old, have one
child, own good farm, and 1 want wife.
Wlll you 60 back home with met"
She leaned on the axe and looked at him
for half a minute and then replied:
Cant say for certain just wait TIL
get these coons of my mind.
She sent the tree crashing to the earth,
and with his help killed tve coons which
were slowed away In a hollow.
'Well, what 90 you sayi" he asked, as
the last coon was stopped from kicking.
''Im your'ni" was the reply; land by
the time you get back FROM Dewitt I'll
have these pelts off and tackled up and be
ready Tor the preacherl"
He returned TO the house, told the folks
that he should bring preacher back with
him, and at dusk that evening, the twain
were mrrried. hardly an hour had been
wasted in courting, and yet he took
home one OF the best girls IN the State OF
Michigan.

was accounted tor quite too easily the other
day. She had gone from Rochester with
party for days pleasure While she
was shipping mineral waters at the springs
her face began to assume a mOtled appear
ance, black and white alternating. She was
asked if she was not sick and replied In the
negative, but her face became so discol-
ored, that her friends insisted on sending
for physician, who on arriving and ex-
aiming his supposed patient smiled and
asked her what kind of paint she used.
The lady tartly replied that she did not
paint, but only nsed powder similar to
taat used by ner daughter, who was present
and whose face was blooming, The ply
sic an attributed tne discoioration 10 the
powder, and it is supposed that it contain

Christmas IN Norway.

In the mountain districts the day is kept
with hearty hospitality. All work Is sus-
pended for thirteen days. The entrance OF
every ouse is decorated, and the walls OF
the kitchen are roughly adorned with gau-
dy pictures, Enthusiastically painted in water
colors. Throughout Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day, the merry making Is en-
iirely domestic, restricted to the members
of each household. Not even a friendly
visit is paid. On the following days the
neighbors assemble at each others houses
by turns, fer carouslng. No regular meal
is provided, but open house Is kept, the
tables richly spread for all oomers. No
stranger is permitted to leave the house
until he has partaken of the strong fule
ale, which is served up in true Norwegian
fashion, cask following cask In rapid sue
cession. On these occasions the servants
sit al the same table with the host, his wife
and family. ALI are dressed in their gala
attire of rich rolored cloth, trimmed with
god and silver braid, the women wearing
caps and aprons of brilliant hues.
