The New Game Of Cards Which Is Inter
esting Eastern Society.

Desperation" is a game Of cards
that is best described as a continuity Of
sequences, regardless of snit 1t is
played with three full packs Of 50 cards
each, and the most convenient number
Of players is l2, but eight or ten per-
sons will find it very delightful way
to spend an evening In party Of la
dies and gentlemen the better way is for
the one six to challenge the other six
and then, sitting in couples at the table,
alternating the play.
The first duty is to select q banker,
who should also act as umpire for the
evening. The banker or dealer should
then shuttle the three packs of cards to-
gether very thoroughly and count two
NESTS, " Of 80 cards each, the one to be
known as ladies nest, !" the other as
''gentlemen's nest" placing them at
opposite ends of the table. Each player
then receives a hand Of six cards, dealt
one at time These hands are placed
face down directly in front Of each
player.
The play is from the banker to the
~SAo5 oAO OoSA q CaIuf
and the play continues until an ace il
turned The privilege of turning the
top card of center nests is taken BY the
first player of each side. When an ace
is turned up, it is placed in the center
of the table, and the fun begins. The
purpose Of the game is to exhaust the
center nests, and the game is won by
the side exhausting their nest first. The
sequences in the center Of the table are
ace high to deuce. while the side Sc
quences or partners hand are high or
low. So that each partner plays on the
center sequences, his or his partners
sequences and his own, in effect play
ing seven hands in ~ hand game.
The fun Of the game is caused by the
penalty connected Herewith, which Is:
No player is permitted by word, look,
sign, motion or suggestion to indicate
to the person playing any play or mis-
play possible on penalty of forfeiting
the play of said player and having the
chance Of a sequence pass to the next
player at table. which would naturally
be an opponent.
There is a great amount of sport in
this game for social evening, and it is
very popular in the eastern cities 1t
can be made progressive IF desired on
the same principles as euchre.

ToPIc.-The lessons Of Gethsenaue.-Mark
xiv, 32-G2-
The garden Of Gethsemane is one Of
the sacred spots id the history Of our
Lord Jesus Christ Whenever we enter
its sacred inclosure, we instinctiyely
feel that we must do 80 reverentIy and
humbly because the ground whereon we
stand il holy ground.
Gethsemane is fruitful of important
subjects and lessons that may be drawn
from them, but the all important, over
shadowing subject that it suggests is
that Of the agony Of Christ. Here it was
that His soul was exceeding sorrowful,
even unto death; here it was that be
Sweat as it were great drops Of blood,
falling to the ground;'' here it was that
He prayed unto God that the cup, IL
possible, might pass from Him Who
can contemplate such agony and suffer
ing without inquiring what was the
cause of it? twas not death, for Christ
had power over death. II was not the
fear Of death. for He knew that death
and agony. 1t was not the thought Of
separation from His loved ones, for He
knew that even after death He would
still abide with them. What was it
then? 1t was the fact that in Gethsem-
ane Christ began to bear the burden
Of mans sin Here it was that He who
knew no sin was made sin for as all
Here our iniquity was laid upon Him.
The cup which filed His soul with such
unutterable dread was the cup of Gods
anger, filled to the brim with it's strange
red wine. the wine of His wrath How
this agony of Christ should teach as the
enormity Of sin and its consequences If
He could scarcely bare il, how can we
stand up under its burden? Let us be
warned, then, to accept His suffering as
ours, that "by His stripes we may be
healed.
The intensity of Christ's suffering
and agony is best seen perhaps in the
fact that He prayed to God that, if pos
sible. it might pass from Him Had the
burden of sin not been almost intoler-
able in its intensity the Son Of God
would never have uttered this agoniz-
ing prayer God answered His prayer,
but not in the way asked. The cup was
not removed, but there appeared unto
Him an angel from heaven strengthen
ing Him. - Another important lesson
We, too, may have our cups of sorrow,
Of pain and aff1iction and may pray to
God that they pass from MS. and al
though they may not pass away He will
give rs strength to drink them, which
is equivalent to the same thing.
The intensity of His agony must have
been increased also by the faithlessness
of the disciples What pain in the ex-
clamation "Whatl Could ye not watch
one hourf" Another lesson When we
are faithless. we grieve the Son of God
Will we pain Him, who bore the bur
den of sin for ms?

oUmE OTHER DAY.

There are wonderful things we are going ID Il,
Some other day,
And harbors we hope to drift into
Some other day
With folded hands and oars that trail
We watch and wait for favoring gale
To fill the folds of All idle sail
Some other day.
We know we must toll If ever we win
Some other day,
But we say to ourselves there's time to begin
Some other day.
And SO, deferring, we loiter on,
Until at last we find withdrawn
The strength Of the hope we leaned upon
Some other day.
And when we are old and our race is run,
Some other day
We fret for the things that might have bee
done
Some other day.
We trace the path that leads US where
The beckoning hand of grim despair
Leads us yonder, out Of the here,
Some other day.

There is one great defect Of most wo-
men who undertake to write for news
papers. They like to sit by their fire
sides at home and spin fancies out of
their own brains, instead of going ont
in the world and hustling for the actual
facts of human experience. They try to
avoid the very things which constitute
the essence Of newspaper reading and
make 1t valuable to the public. This il
why so many young women fail in jour

If there is one thing more idiotic than
another, it is a man telling woman
what her proper sphere is, as the Rev.
DIR. Parkhurst is doing now. When a
man undertakes to set forth woman s
sphere. he falls into the fatal mistake
of trying to make her be what he wants
her to be without any reference to what
she wants to be herself His preiudices
and his selfishness set the bounds Let
US have done with this man-made sphere
for women. Let her find her sphere for
herself She is bound to do it anyhow.
whether the masculine old hunkses, doc
tors Of divinity and others let her do it
or not A man can never understand
what woman's sphere is till he has
been woman himself and knows. Per-
haps in their next incarnation some OF
the old fogies who have so bitterly OPP
posed women in this one will be wom-
en-that, too, in China or India Then
they will know how it is themselves.
