Strange Deal At Cards.

In playing Of cards a number of
strange and remarkable hands have
been developed, and particularly in
the game of whist, says the Newcastl,
(Eng.) Chronicle. In Dundee foul
gentlemen had been playing together
when one of them found mis- hand t.
consist of the entire 13 trumps. Ali
the time two packs of cards had been
alternately used, and this occurred
after one of them had been shuffled
and cut in the usual manner. In the
East Indies when the pack had been
dealt out the dealer was found to have
all the Ii trumps (spades), his partner
had IL clubs, his antagonist on the
left had - hearts, and the one on the
right II diamonds. At the Union
Whist Club, of Boulogne, on one oc-
casion a player dealt himself and
partner, in the course of an ordinary
game, the 26 red cards while to their
opponents fell the 26 blacks.
The most notorious hand of whist
ever played is that known as "the
Duke of Cumberland hand" 1t has
never been definitely settled how this
hand came to be dealt, hut such a pc
culiar combination naturally suggests
suspicious of foul play. The Duke,
playing in the room at Bath, held in
his hands king, knave, nine, seven of
trumps (clubs); ace, king of diamonds;
ace, king, queen of spades; and yet
was unable to secure a single trick,
and, moreover, lost bet of 100000 on
the hand. This incredible result was
achieved as follows: The Duke, of
course led with a trump and found his
partner void in that suit. His left
hand adversary (whom we may call
"Y') having ace, queen, ten, eight and
his right hand adversary "Z" the re-
naming five trumls and no diamonds.
the consequence was that "Z" trumped
diamonds twice, and "Y" "sitting
over" the Duke with better trumps.
after taking the sixth trick, had the
lead with the seven remaining dia-
monds, and thus "Y" and "Z" made
the 13 tricks.
A famous strange hand at whist is
the scarborough hand" so called
from an Earl of Marlborough who held
it. This hand contained no card
above nine. The earl, who gave his
name to this hand, was for MANY
years in the practice of laying 10000
to FL against the occurance of this
hand, and as the bet was freely taken
the Earl must have realized a hand
some sum, as the real odds are 1927
to l. Considering the number of
times that we read of dealer finding
himself with 13 trumps it seems diff
cult to credit that the odds against
the occurance of this combination are
159,753, ,389,S99. Yet these are true
odds, provided the cards are properly
shuf1ed. In the majority of the cases
which occur the odds are much less
owing to imperfect shuffling especially
when playing with a new pack of
cards.

NAPOLEON AT LUNCH.

From the Pail Malt Gazette.
The great Napoleon was by no means
great in little things In the fine art
of dining he was particularly small,
although he was genius in attracting
his foreign visitors by tickling their
palate with the most wonderful ''crea-
tious" of that jewel among chefs, La
Guipiere. 1t never took the first Ma
poleon more than ten minutes to swal-
low his breakfast, and, to the disgust
of his artist of the kitchen, he refused
70 spend more than half an hour over
his dinner.
Napoleon generally lunched at a
small round table. And this was well.
for it was one of his little peculiarities
20 forget the use of knife and fork, and
to plunge his fingers into dish and re-
gale himself, la SINCE, with whatever
savory morsel he might get hold of.
AS for using his dinner napkin, that
was altogether out of the question.
At dinner the emperor had the various
courses brought in at the same time,
and often ate three or four courses at
once, in his Observation-Disclosures taking
anything placed before him, so that
occasionally he had piece of jelly or
a cream on his plate before he had fln-
ished with the entrees. He always
ended his meal with a large cup of
coffee.
At luncheon or dinner parties at the
Tuileries, Napoleon took hardly any
notice of his guests He got up when
he had finished and walked into tho
drawing room. The Empress Josephine,
however, took no notice, and made
sign to her guests not to rise. If, how
ever. she was occasionally obliged to
follow the emperor, the rest of the
party had to go empty away. This
was So well known that ono day, when
his majesty rose, after only few min
utes, from the luncheon table. and his
guest. Prince Eugene. following him
into his room. the following dialogue
took place: "You haven't had sufficient
time to finish your meal" said the en-
peror. Pardon, your majesty" replied
the prince, with a gallant bow, "but |
dined before came" The emperor's
fayorite dishes were mutton, lentils |
and salad made of French beans, and |
he never drank moro than half bottle |
of the lightest table wines. But wheth-
er he was at the Tuileries or in camp |
he never dined off ANYTHING but solid
gold or silver.
