that Mr.. Smith has been in no hurry about

quite satisfied with his craftsmanship, and
the impecunious members appealed in
vain. Ex-Speaker Randall and others
held short conversation on the subject
and afterwards waited in body upon the

out result. Several members who were

i;ciIef for Tobacco Planters.
Several congressman, representing to
bacco- growing districts, have introduced
bills looking to the removal of the restric-
ticu upon the sale of tobacco in small
Quantities by growers. They are now
permitted to sell only to licensed deal
ers," which works great hardships in
many cases. Here in Lancaster county
where there arc SO many licensed buyers
it does not matter much, but there
is but one licensed dealer - in either
Missouri or Texas, and planters must
haul Or ship tobacco long distances to
reach tie solitary man to whom it is law
fiji! to sell, except at the risk Of heavy fine
or Imprisonment. Ignorance Of the law or
the great Inconvenience Of complying with
its requirements frequently subjects tobac-
ca planters to its penalty. The purpose
of these bills is to allow farmers to sell
tobacco in any quantity to any dealer as
freely as they may dispose of their cab
bage. Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, proposes
that growers may sell tobacco of their own
production at retail. the government look
ing to the dealer instead of the farmer TO,

WHIST AS A SCIENCE.

The great increase of the literature OF
whist within the past few years is evil
dence that it is taking higher place
among intellectual pastimes than it ever
occupied before. 1t is developing into
a science which, nevertheless, includes
a social element, by which it is made
both agreeable and instructive. There
would be as much sense in calling
problem of Eaclid immoral as in briRg-
ing that charge against whist. Whist
stimulates no unworthy ambitions and
brings into action no qualities OF the
mind that ought to be repressed. 1t
presents the conditions of an intel
lectual contest and instead of its beng
game OF chance, the purpose of good
players is to fight against chance, as
well as against play. A weak minded
person can never be good whist player;
and if we follow the history OF the
game and examine the characters and
records Of those who have been bril-
liant players, we shall almost invariably
find that they have been distinguished
an other respects. A physician OF emf
nence once said that be could tell the
character OF u person after seeing him
i'll a game of whist. Perhaps that test
would have failed him occasionally, but
there are many things that can be pretty
accurately inferred by close observation
Of parsons methods in the quadri-
and accurately, or does he suffer from
over caution? Does he pursue care
fully acquired system under all circum-
stances, or, like successful general,
does he measure each new situation and
execute brilliant coups outside the regu-
larly prescribed tactics Is he philoso-
pher in defeat, and gentleman under
all circumstances Are his thoughts
always at his command like well-drilled
soldiers, or do they sttaggle! These
are a number OF the points OF character
that can be gauged by an experienced
observer The whist player who follows
the game with a purpose to master all
its intricacies and learn what it has to
teach does not waste his time. He is
in good training g-school for the develop
rnent Of mental qualities and the cor
rection of character Considerations
like these have given the name of whist
marvellous vitality and universally. 1t
occupies a commanding place among
human necessities. 1t is an agent OF
national enlightenment and social
growth, and its beauties and benefits
are being recognized now as they never
were before TO be good whist player
III these days is to possess at least one
leading accomplishment Il Boston Post.
