A Pretty Game of Whist.

Living whist is one of the new est
fads, and an attractive one to amuse.
ment lovers. A game recently played
to music at bazaar proved as enjoy.
able as it was novel. The cards entered
in procession in separate divisions ac-
cording to suit, and executed some
man9uvres indicative of cutting, shuf-
fling and dealing. The hands were
then sorted and the play began. The
small cards of the pack were repre-
sented by children, each carrying an
immense card two feet long, hanging
shield fashion in front, on which were
the figures indicating what card they
represented; similar sized card, dis.
playing the ordinary kind of card back,
was hung on their backs. The dresses
of the court cards, assumed by adults,
were sinSularly original in design and
harmonious in color. The king, queen,
knaye aud ace of clubs wore robes of
dull gray, trimmed with white fur. the
emblems of their suit being carried out
in black velvet the crowns terminated
in rows of small clubs, and the knave
and ace wore picturesque head cover
ingS in the shape of clubs made of gray
and outlined in jet. Hearts were robed
i'll bright shade of green, on which
the vivid red of the emblems told ef-
te lively, the diadems, sceptres etc,

a lie suits, Black velvet spade on
r,., color denote the suit of that
no ,'. and the court cards of the last
su. we're habited in a bright gold
co,r, bearing red diamonds. The
"o'al was carried out according to the
"a urs arranged for performance. and
a ,he cards took up their appointed
=. ,rrs. without the least semblance Of
confusion, in front of the PLAYERS, vino

hugie call directed the cards to turn to
face the players and to sort themsel 'es
into suits, the trump cards, as is cuHto-
mary, remaining on the table, here
represented by platform fifty feet
iuare, while the first trick was played.
A lively quickstep was then set up by
the band, to which the tricks were
played, each card walking into the cen.
ter of the table when called by the
player; court cards were led forward
by small card and, on the conclusion
of each trick, the winning card led the
others to the side of the winner, where
they remained in long queue till the
end of each game when the score was
called and the winners triumphantly
led off the cards on the losing side a
grand procession formed, and to the
tune of lively march the pack retired.

Almost as old as the world itself are
the pretty TOYS so effective in the ha ,ds

We read of fans in the Arabian Nights.
The first Greek fans were made OF ara-

learned their value. In England they

Smith in Peterson. Queen Bess. who
was called the patron of fans, had one
of these pretty toys for nearly every
day in the year A fan, she declared,
was the only present sovereign could
accept from a subject. Louis XIV. ol
France considered the fan an essential
feature of his dress, and encouraged the
art of fan-painting. Marie Antoinette
possessed fans enough to stock a
museum. Madame de Pompadour Law
ished enormous sums on their adorn
ment. She owned one with a lace
mount which cost thirty thousand dol
lars. The medallions in the sticks were
masterpieces of miniature painting.
Mythology at first furnished favorits
subjects for the fan-painters, then they
turned to the Bible for their themes,
and next they took to lovescenes.
Vatican, Rosalba Carriera, Laufe,
Boucher, Gerome, and Lebrun have in
turn been the famous fan painters of
their day. During the French Revolu-
ton, the subjects were suggestive of the
turmoil of the times. The ivory and
lace gave way to wood and paper, bear
ing the favorite motto, Liberty, Equal.
ity, Fraternity" When Charlotte Cor
day went to murder Marat, she carried
dagger in one hand, and in the other
fan bearing the words Liberty or
Death. The rovalists devised fans
which revealed their political proclivi
ties only when held in certain way.
The fashion of topical or commemora.
tive fans probably originated in Spain,
where illustrations of bull fights were
put on fans to be used in the arena or
on the place of execution. The prac-
tice of adorning fans with designs of
current events was greatly in vogue in
France and England from the beginning
of the last century, and continued to be
more or less fashionable until fifty years
ago. TO women of the Anglo Saxon
lineage the fan has never meant all it
does to their sisters of the Latin races ;
but they are learning; with the revival
of the Pompadour fashions, the fan has
recovered its former Importance and
one must know how to twirl it, to close
it, to spread it, to let it rise or fall, to
say. with it; Come here, go, I am
charmed, you fiatter me, [ am bored.
YOU shock me, you are rude. To carry
on a conversation with one adorer while
the fan is holding piquant talk with an
other, to make it express every thought,
every ripple Of feeling, to be all things
to all men, and something else to every
woman-this is the newly revived func,
ton of the fan.

Shells for Canoes

For cameo cutting various kinds OF
shells are used, There are the bulls
mouth, which has red inner coat, or
what is known as sardonyx ground;
the black helmet, which also has So
called onyx ground. and which shows
up white on dark claret color; the
horned helmet, white on an orange vel
low ground and the queen conch, with
pink ground. The latter shell is
about ten inches long, with rose-col.
ored aperture and an extremely broad
lip rounded above.
The bulls mouth and the black he'll
met are the best shells. for the horned
helmet is apt to separate from the
ground, or to double as the French
workmen express it. The queen conch
seldom has the two colors distinctly
marked from each other, and the pink
OF the ground fades on exposure to the
light. The red color of the bulls
mouth extends but short distance
within the mouth of the shell, and be-
comes paler as it proceeds inward;
hence this shell affords only a single
cameo large enough for brooch and
several small pieces for shirt studs,
while the black helmet furni shes on an
average about five brooches and several
stud pieces. The queen conch Yields
only single piece
Cassis fammea, which is about six
inches long, cassis decussata, and cassis
tuberosa, which are white upon dark
claret color, are also occasionally used.
The bulls mouth shells are derived
from India and Ceylon, and the black
helmets and queen conches from the
West Indies.

MR. WeBSTEe'S MISTAKE.


the Dictionary.
The self-Satistiel manner OF the ig
norant educator is a rare study in
human nature In the rural regions 1t
frequently happens that a man whose
education has been sadly neglected is
elected to the position Of school director
or member of the school board He no
sooner secures the credentials of his
office than he begins to invest the school
room and mix into the practical ma
chinery of education. The results are
usually amusing enough to furnish
MANY hearty laugh to the overworkcd
pedagogue as soon as he is alone and
dares to indulge in little hilarity.
A few weeks ago | visited graded
school in one of the lesser Indiana
towns. 1t was examination day and
the president of the school board "a
large pompous old fellow-wae present..
! presume that schoolroom never was
so quiet before. A reading class was
called, and bright little fellow arose
and in :. monotone drawled through a
paragraph about massacre in the time
of Nero.
"Ah Um - interrupted the eluca-
tor. Will you please have the little
boy read that verse again ?"
The paragraph was given again pre-
cisely as before.
All Um exclaimed the wise man,
smiling like a pleased chimpanzee.
why do you pronunciate that word
'massaker ."
The voungster hung his head and
made no reply.
1t should be pronounced 'massa-
cree" continued the board member,
benignly.
There was a painful silence for a
moment, then the teacher meekly said ::
Excuse me, Mr.. Blank, but the
fault is mine, think, if that word was
mispronounced. I have told the class
to pronounce it 'massa- ker''
But why, sir, may inquire ?"
Il believe Webster favors that pro-
nunciation.
Impossible, sir.
We'll, that is matter easily settled.
Eere is copy of 'Webster's I'm
abrilged;' suppose we refer to it.
The educator seized the dictionary
and hurriedly turned to the word For
a moment his face was study. Then
he removed his glasses, slowly wiped
them on "a red bandana handkerchief,
aud, replacing them, said very sol
emily:
| am perfectly astounded, sir, that
Mr.. Webster should have made such a
mistake as that"

A Queer Barometer.

One of the most curious of the many
natural barometers consists of half
pint glass half full of water, piece of
muslin and leech. The leech must
be put into the water and the muslin
tied over the top of the glass so that the
creature can not get out again When
fine weather is to be the order of the
day the leech will remain at the
bottom of the water, coiled up in
spiral shape and perfectly motionlcss.
If rain is to be expected it will creep up
TO the top of the glass and remain there
until more settled weather If there is
to be storm of wind the little animal
will comfort itself violently and squirm
about For several days before thun.
der it will keep out of the water almost
all the time and will occasionally move
its body in a convulsive fashion. For
frosty weather it behaves in the same
manner as for fine, and it foretells snow
in the same manner as it does rain.
