for in this game is that the lady or

and can take a trick with it or beat il
with another card has the option to
kiss any lady or gentleman he or she
may select. II lady is the winner
Of the successful trick, this option may
he uses or not, as she elects, and
generally she does waive her right.
But, If a gentleman holds the lucky
card, Of coune, he invariably exer-
cises bis right. The result was that
a gentleman when he held the ace Of
hearts was sure 10 get it passed. If a
lady held il, she always had il taken.
II was quite study to watch with
what perfect sangfroid the gentlemen
stood up to receive the stake he had
won, and with what consummaie grace
the lady bent her head to one side so
that her lucky opponent across the
table should receive his full pound Of

| do not know how the players felt,
but the watching of few hands
played was sufficient to satisfy me
that il was but poor game after all.
How il came about | do not know,
but saw one gentleman win six
games in rapid succession and kiss the
same lady as many times. That des-
iroyed all interest had up to that
point taken in the game. II satisfied
me that it was a game in which the
cards could be so manipulated that a
poor player or a beginner could have
very little chance. -[New York

LET rue BEDs he AIRED. 1t is a
bad plan to make up the beds i'm
mediately after breakfast. The sleep
ing apartments in the house should
be aired every day. Beds should be
opened every morning to the sun and
to the atmosphere. Do not be in too
much haste to get the chambers in
order. Let the sheets and blankets
be spread over separate chairs, the
mattress lifted apart, and the pure
morning air be allowed to get into
every nook and Granny of the room
before the beds are made. Better to
endure little delay in getting the
house in order than loss of health.

bunch tax on matches yields the Gov
eminent daily income Of nearly
$4,000. Any one who desires can
figure from this, approximately, how
many matches are used per day. On
the insignificant little bunch Of
matches is levied by far the heaviest
tax known to civilized governments.
