POINTS ON CARDS.

which Goes to Show the Marvellous
P Power of Whist Inferanee-
People who play whist for amusement,
without regard to science, have little idea
OF the possibilities of the game. The idea
that whist is n language is novel to them.
In order to show precisely the story that
each card tells as 1t falls on the table /
have thrown of at random four hands, and
will ask the interested reader to follow the
game through. l will show how A, who is
partner to c, interprets the game, and
plays his own hand accordingly. A deals,
turning up ace OF spades, and his hand Is
as follows; a, k, 10, Q, Z of spades. Z, 8 of
clubs, k, 10. o of diamonds, K, 10, 9 of
hearts. A and c against b and d. The
remarks In parentheses are supposed TO be
the audible operations of AS mind as the
game proceeds.
First Round-B, a h unjust have five
or more); C, 9 h (hasn't anything below six
unless he is signaling); d, 5 h moth
ing below five unless ~signaling); A, 10 h

Second Round-B, 4 h held five orlgi-
nally, as 1 have Q. and b plays from his
fourth best); c, KIN h (may have a, but If
not hasn't any more); D.. 8 h (hasn't any
more. as seven have been played; l nave
two. which make nine; B must have three
left, which make twelve, and G must have
the remaining one, the q; otherwise he
wouldn't AVE played the knave second
hAnd); A, 2 h (siRnAl ended).
Third Round-C, 9 3 responds TO my sig
nal; In all probability has four, as the . is
played as fourth best, unless that is the
only trump he has, which is unlikely; d,
s. (has no card below 8; may nave either
KIN. or q, but not both, for then he would
play KIN. second handy; A, k s; B, 4 s (hasn't

more clubs originally.
1t Is unnecessary to continue. Let the
reader finish the hand for himself. AS in.

the rest of the players are as follows: B.

trEcted a taste for the calves Of waitern'
legs. II may have been fun for the tiger,
but It was unpleasant for the walters.
Moreover, the tigers mistress aimed her
d~aintily pointed French toe one day at the
silver tray borne by a Hoffman House
waiter. Her aim was good, and the tray
went up and came down. The dainty
viAnds on IL came dow too, most of them
landing on and clinging to the personality
OF the waiter as persistently as bits of pri
Vate history cling to the personality OF q
candidate during a political campaign.
Then the waiter made a large INT fatal
mistake. He told the story OF the actress's
little acrobatic performance to a reporter,
and II got Into the papers" The result
was that the waiter went up and came
down too. and the warning to other wait
FRS lies Ia the fact that he came down out
side the Hoffman House. and has been out
side ever since. IL Is unsafe to gossip
about the unpleasant peculiarities Of ce-
lehrities when your employers make their
living out Of the celebrities.
Her American tour this year, however,
will not be p%unctusted by the howls OF the
tiger cat. and the walters will only have to
dodge her toes. Her agreeable pet has
gone to join its striped skinned fathers in
the land where all good tigers go.
Mime. Bernhardt's affection for animals,
by the way. mounts almost to a passion.
A. her home in Paris the first inmates OF
the house which a visitor meets after the
foutmhn at the door are two magnificent
logs When she has leisure time in which
to enjoy the luxury OF n good think"
Sara. IL is said, will sit by the half hour
gently pattiug the head OF one Of these
great dogs, with her wonderful eyes look
ing beyond the present back into the past
or forward into the future. 1T is then
that am happiest," she says. Among
her pets are l12 birds OF all sorts, from
canaries to an eagle, Cats come in for a
share Of her favor, and columns have been
written by occasionally veracious CORE
spondents on her fondness for a great
lizard, for the asp which she used in the
Cleopatra" death scene, and for various
other more or less unattractive creatures.
It is said that she never displayed SO
much real emotion TO r newspaper man as
when one day he called to see her in re-
gard TO a story that she had been fiendish-
ly cruel to a pet kitten. This story was
circulated by a woman who gained admit
lance to Nine. BernhRrdt's hous through
letters of introduction from mutual
friends. She arrived while the actress was
working at some OF the numerous and art

istic pieces OF sculpture which have shown
the world that she is a woman of more
than one talent, and the visitor begged
that she keep on with her work. Present
ly a kitten entered the room and ~playfully
jumped upon its mistress lap.
But Mime. Bernhardt was too busy to
play with her pet Just then, and pushed It
gently to the floor. Again and again the
kitten jumped upon her lap. and at last, so
this visitor said in a newspaper article,
Nine Bernhard became exasperated by
its persistency, and picking it up by the
nape OF its neck carried it 20 a nearby
stove and thrusting it in upon the hot

work as II nothing whatever had occurred.
1t was a terrible story and one hard To be-

such characters Upon the stage as Nine,
B%ernhault has done. When her fearful
denial came every one felt relieved.

The modern playwright whose name Is
most familiar to the whole civilized world
Is Nictorien Sardou. The latest incident
which has brought him before the public
i the suppression in Paris OF his play
"Thermidor." This play WAS founded on
certain events Of the French revolution,
and had a distinctly political flavor. ON
the second night OF its performance the
audience became r%iotous, and the author
tiles forbade further presentations OF 1t.
SardOu Is a strange man, of wonderful
talent and versatility. lie has only
achieved his present high place in the liter
AIRY and dramatic world by the hardest

consist Of i've weeks in New York, and en-
RRgements in Philadelphia, Washington.
Boston, Montreal. Detroit, Indianapolis.
st. Louis, Denver and San Francisco. The
recent burning of McVieker's theatre, in
Chicago. will prevent her appearance in
that city. Her repertoire will include all
her great successes-'La Tosca," Cleo
patra," Theodore and perhaps Jeanne
dare"
She is q woman Of strange and perhaps
many unpleasant character phases, but she
is the greatest actress the world has seen
since Rachael Felix, the little Jewish
street singer, was developed by NJ. Con-
STAINS into the wonderful Rachel.

He tells this story OF an incident in his
early life, which he says did much to pur
him on 70 the efforts finally ending now in
success: "One winter night, while I was
walking in the Latin quarter. | was asking
myself II life was really worth so much
useless labor, and IL fate would always be
implacablef"
Sardou was a prey TO one Of those moods
Of bitter discourngement-rare enough in
his case-which make any folly possible,
more particularly suicide, which is, after
all, a courageous one. To escape the rain,
which was falling In torrents, he stopped
for shelter under a porte cocbere, which he
left suddenly, instinctively, without know
ing why, and n ragged tramp took his
place, Just then there was a terrible
noise. Sardou, who was going ON, turned
and saw that an enormous block OF stone
had fallen from II passing dray upon the
tramp, killing him instantly.
II DO not know what instinct, " says Sar-
dou, made me quit the place which des
tiny had marked for some ones death;
but it seemed TO show me that l was not
meant to die poor and unknown-that l
must work, struggle and always hope. My
