THE BEST CARD TRICK.
1t Is Founded on nIathsmatIcs and Il
Worth Learning.

1t Is Founded on Mathematics and Il
Worth Learning.
Card tricks which require a confederate
or depend upon legerdemhin are entirely
useless for ordinary purposes, but here is
a trick which Is worth learning. because IL
shows how the power OF numbers can be
applied 20 cards. IL Is by no means a new
trick, yet there are but few who are nc.
guaintcd with 1t. The cards should be ar.
ranged in suits, n then each suit should
be arranged In the following order: G. Z, l.,
rs, king, s, 10, 3, knaye, 9, 2, queen. Ar.
ranged thus, face uppermost, the o should
be the top card and the queen the bottom
card OF each suit, Place the suits one on
top Of the other-hearts on top, then
spades, diamonds, clubs-And then the pack
eau be cut by any one Of the company as
many times as is desired, but the cut must
be even.
Then, beginning with the top Of the
pack, place the cards face down in thirteen
piles. When the first thirteen cards nave
been placed in a row begin over and place
the fourteenth card on top OF the first, the
fifteenth on the second and so on. But be
fore doing this be sure and get a look at
the bottom ard of the pack. This can be
done with a glance of the eye. Then, after
the cards have been distributed in the
thirteen packs, remember in which OF
these utAIA II the GlFl winch was Mt the
bottom. You will find upon examination
that there are four cards IN each heap. and
that each heap contains the same cards
four kings, four tens. etc. Now the ar
engagements Of the heaps win be ia the or
der OF the arrangement Of cards as already
given. but backward. and the position Of
each card in the heap will be In the same
order.
For instance, arrange the cards in tho
order given, and to help the memory the
following sentence may be learned. Tho
Sixty-fourth %, ~ regiment % beats the
Seyenty-1fth q, 81; up starts the king
Ckingl with eight 90 thousand G0J and
three 90 men (knave) and ninety-two o., q
women tqusenl When each suit has been
arranged place them In the order Of hearts.
spades, diamonds, clubs, 50 that the hearts
will be on top and the clubs at the bottom.
Now, after they nave been cut, suppose tue
eight Of spades is the bottom card. you
deal them out In thirteen heaps, and the
last heap will be all Fights, the top card OF
which will be the eight Of spades. Follor
ing In the order the next will be the eight
OF hearts. the next the eight OF clubs, the
next the eight Of diamonds. Now. the
first heap will contain all tho kings, the
second all the nves, etc.
After the heaps lave been thu dis
tributed you have only TO ask any one In
the company what caro- he wants. and you
can at once pick 1t out for him.

only objected vigorously, but also screwed
his countenance into as many shapes as
the facial muscles would allow.
He shut his eyes, pursed up his mouth,

make the picture taking a failure. The art
ist got three shots at him with the camera,

a very bad one, and Mr.. Hensley returned

Just precisely what she had to complain

renee OF the tragedy the ~ex-countess has
written a letter, published In a recent is
sue OF The New York World, from which
the following extracts are taken;
Mime. Berg was very much In love with a
young man. whom she had followed to this
country. When l had been with her a few
days l discovered that she was addicted to the
morphine habit, and was subject to very strange
hallucinations while under Its influence, which
am told Is Invariably the case. She took It
into her diseased brain that her friend was in
love with me-. . She had said TO me, "If
find that you have taken his love from me, II
| cannot kin you | viii have my revenge,
though It costs me my life" She care

locked and packed her trunk, and then she sat

Berg's suicide.
AT this point the story Of the tragedy
closes. The nam of the man involved, II
there was one, is only suspected, and the
inquiry as to the of Mime. Berg's
death did not bring out sufficient evidence
to warrant an official statement corrobo-
rating Miss Knox's assertion that the dead
woman committed suicide.
