MODERN WHIST.
How 1t Differs From the Kind In

How 1t Differs From the Kind In
.--@ Vogue Years Ago.
The old-fashioned individual whist
of our daddies, where every one play
ed according to his own hand, is and
ever will be the game Of the masses,
but in the atmosphere of clubdom and
! up-to-date circles the modern style
reigns supreme, so a few maxims or
timely hints will prove acceptable to
many who find that little whist
knowledge is one of the requirements
Of good society. Ia
1t was Col. Drayton, the popular
English author, who said: "Many per-
sons who blunder through a game Of
whist will excuse their mistakes In a
very self-satisfied way by saying they
never studied a book in their lives, as
they only play for amusement Just
suppose a lady of mature years sitting
down to piano and banging the notes
at random, without any idea of har-
mony or tune. 1t would indicate a
singular type Of mind if when it was
suggested that there would be a more
pleasant noise if the lady had learned
her note, she replied, oh. I only play
the piano for amusement --
The introduction of duplicate whist,
whereby the same hands are played
over, so that in subsequent rounds
you hold the good cards, with which
your opponents raked in the tricks,
has eliminated every element Of
chance and obliterated that faint line
of demarkation'' which Proctor said
separates some games from the exact
sciences.
The old game was a haphazard,
every one for himself sort Of a play,
depending largely upon holding high
cards, and wherein the little ones were
of no account. The modern theory,
however, is a combination Of forces
utilized so as to play the partners
hands to the best possible advantage.
and introducing a system whereby
every card becomes an ineligible

Upon the principle of imparting to
| every card played all the whist knowl-
edge you possess, it is astonishing to
! see how much can be said by the fall
| of an insignificant little card, and
what influence it may exert upon the
result CT the game. Take, for exam
pie, the very first card led. The mod
ern play is to lead off with the fourth

and are delighted to find that you are
also strong in hearts. You hold king,
jack and nine, so don't be anxious
about taking that trick; your partner
has told you, as plainly as if he spoke
in words, that he holds three better
and you hold all the Others, so do not

HOW 1T FEELS TO DIE.
Contrary to General Belief sudd

Contrary to General Belief Sudden
Death Is pleasant.
DR.. Herin, the celebrated geologlst
and professor of the Zurich university,
who nearly lost his life few months
ago, by falling down a mountain slide
in the Alps, has described his sensa-
tions on the occasion, and has collected
to the valley of the shadow of death.
The doctor says that sudden death by
a fall, by being run over by train, by
being swallowed up by water or snow,
is the most beautiful way of leaving this
life. It is unaccompanied by pain or
the other unpleasant concomitants of
bodily dissolution, and the mind is clear
and rapid in action, without the least
feeling Of uneasiness. In the prayer
book the Christian beseeches that he
may be spared from sudden death, but,
in fact, the faces of those who so ended
| their earthly career reveal no fear, an
xiety, pain or terror, but are more plea

those of persons who died in their beds,

them death did not last a second. Their
serene and composed features indicated
that at the time of death they were
above physical pains; they were rush

ward. Then he was carried through
the air and dashed against high snow
wall. He heard distinctly the dull thud
caused by the striking of his head and
back upon the snow-covered rock. He
reckoned that his fall occupied five or
six seconds, but he says it would take
him two hours to relate the thoughts
which passed through his mind during
that period. He took comfort out of
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1895-12-05

the recollection that he had placed a
phial of vinegar ether in his waistcoat
pocket instead of leaving it in his wal
let. He felt that he was likely to die,
and he fancied in his mind the scene
when the news of his death was carried
to his family. His life from childhood
to manhood passed before his minds
eye, with all it's joys and sorrows. He
was serenely happy as he saw blue
heaven opening to receive him, while
rose and violet clouds foated on the
horizon. Consciousness did not leave
him till a little while after he struck
the rock, and pain was not felt till an
hour afterward.

the city for which the railroad system
has done the least of any city in Califor-
MIA. Notwithstanding this, it is perhaps
to-day the best manufacturing town in
the State in proportion to its population.
1t has manifested steadiness of growth
due entirely to the business sagacity and
enterprise OF its citizens. 1t is the seat of
manufactures in the way of harvesting
and other agricultural machinery. Its
milling interest surpasses that of all
other localities in the State, and it is but
a just need of praise to say that if it had
possessed the advantage of having the
manufacturing plants of the overland
systems located there, it would to-day
have been city of fifty thousand in
habitants
Cities are not the result of accident.
They are the product of certain COM
merclal forces. the chief factor of
which is the rate of transportation. Chi
cago claims to have two million in
but Chicago is a wonderful city, and it's
growth has been due to single factor, to
wit: ocean rates of transportation brought
to the heart of the continent. The popu-
lation of Chicago would disperse far more
rapidly than it has accumulated if the
navigation of the lakes should become
impossible.
San Francisco is located where it is be-
cause originally the inland system of
rivers and bays made it a point of focal
ization with converging and diverging
rays Of commerce by ocean.
If the San Joaquin Valley Railroad
makes Stockton the base of it's operation,
and brings rail and water communica-
ton together at that point, Stockton in
deed has a bright future Make it the
local terminus of system of railroads
which will supplement cheap transporta-
Gion by river, and above all give it the
manufacturing interest of the valley road
as it richly deserves, and the population of
Stockton will increase ten thousand in
five years. We congratulate our neighbor
on its frightened prospects, and can say
with all good conscience that no COM
munity has been more deserving Of pros
perity.

Our neighborlng city of Stock ton is

being railroad center is concerned, it
has an unfortunate location on the map.
The overland railroad built from Sacra-
mento to Ogden, and thence by way of
Stockton to San Jose, did not long re-
main the trunk line. A shorter route by
way of Vallejo, and subsequently by
way of Port Costa and Benicia, was found.
so that the main line was operated in the
latter direction. When the Sunset route
was finished connecting San Francisco
with the Gulf port of New Orleans, the
east shore lines of the Bays of San Fran
cisco and San Pablo were followed, and
shorter route than that by way of Stock
ton was found through the San Joaquin
Valley toward the south. Then followed
the construction of other roads, all of
which left Stockton on the dividing
ridge between the northern and southern
overland systems. The completion of
the coast line to Santa Barbara will bring
the overland traffic by that route.
