off. The mother hesitated for a moment
until she was "sure'' which was which,
and then made the application with all
due care and ceremony. 1t was some
minutes before the mistake was discovered
and the ribbon placed on the proper wrist.
Then the work had to be done over again.

bacco is tho product of n certain planta-
ton, growing small quantity Of leaf of a
very superior variety, which IS made up
almost entirely for royal palates. Ipur-
chased one of these cigars, just to be able

RACING AT THE AQUARIUM.
Go-as-you-piease Contests Among Fioun.
derA White Perch and . Blackfsh.

In one of the ponds at the aquarium at
Castle Garden there are, with u few other
fish, four middle sized founders, about q
dozen white perch and a small hlackfiSh.
They get pretty tired of lying around do
ing nothing and every now and then start
up and swim sort of go-as-you- please
race round and round the pool, keeping il
up for an hour or more ut a time. Usually
the biggest founder starts off, and the
three Others follow. The founders are Of
ten seen in the order of their size, strung
out in single file and at pretty uniform
distances apart. The big founder is the
quickest swimmer of the lot and OCCASION
ally gains q lap on his smaller companions,
Very soon the white perch get interest
ed, and they join in, following or swim
ming with the founders. Though smaller
than the founders, they are the quicker
swimmers, and they arc not at all over
awed by the founders superior size, They
swim ahead to win every time and occa.
sionally they gain lap. They may seem
to be following with the smaller dounders,
but all the time they are slowly gaining
on them and pass them one after another,
and finally, swerving little, they pass
the head founder Then they keep on un.
III lHtN COlllt up with lii0 utlltE SId VI INC
procession again and once more for n time
seem to be part of 1t,
After awhile the blackfish appears, COM
ing perhaps from the middle of the pool
and swinging his sidc fins slowly back and
forth, as a single sculler might his oars
when coming up to tho scratch After
reaching the procession he starts swim
ming around the pool in the other direc
ton. But he doesn't keep this up long.
The founders and the white perch don't
care snap which way he swims, and they
turn out for him mighty little, and he
soon tires of it, turns and swims with the
rest and then he makes n better showing,
for he Is quicker and more powerful
swimmer than any of them, and he easily
goes to the front. But rs ut first he had
perversely started In the wrong direction
now he mars his victory by occasionally
cutting across one end of the pool and
joining the procession nearer the head than
he belongs, the founders and the white
perch all following the whole course
The blackflsh tires of 1t all pretty soon
and withdraws altogether, but the tloun-
dcrs and the white perch keep right along.

TWO HANDED WHIST.
A New Game Which Is n Great Improve
ment Over "Double Dummy"

A New Game Which Is n Great Improve
ment Over Double Dummy"
Old whist players will probably greet
with suspicion the announcement that 1t
Is possible to play an interesting game OF
whist with less than four hands. Double
dummy" and single dummy" were never
popular with the votaries of this game.
They were classed with old maid and cast
no and other games which allowed moro
or loss gossip while the game was In prog
ress and did not allow the display of any
great amount of thought. A new game,
however, has been introduced for two
hands, which, while it undoubtedly Is not
so good as four handed game, still Is
moderately interesting and affords chance
for the display of n good deal OF skill.
Where this game originated the writer does
not know. In Canada they call it yam
kee whist" without being able to give tho
genealogical Significance of the name.
The game is played by dealing the entire
pack to tho two players. The cards are
picked up indiscriminately, and each play
or places in row before him IL piles of
cards. He begins by placing tho first card
face downward on the table, and tho next
ono face upward on top Of tho first card
laid down. This operation Is repeated un-
til the 10 piles are built by each player.
This leaves 10 cards exposed on tho table
on each side, and ID tho value Of which
are not known, as the faces are turned
downward.
The play then begins with the nondeal-
err, and the game is carried through the
same as in an ordinary game of whist.
As soon as the card which is exposed Is
played, and the trick on which it is played
is taken, the card underneath Is also turn
ed up. This process finally causes all the
cards to be exposed, but of course not un-
til the game is we'll along toward tho close.
Consequently there is always enough I'M
certainty about the value of your oppo-
nent's hand and the strength of your own
to allow good deal of conjecture and
thoughtful playing. Tho game has not
been introduced extensively at present,
and to many whist clubs it seems to be
practically unknown, and in some of them
entirely so.-New York Tribune.
