BLUE PETER IN WHIST.
The Signal For Trumrss- First Employed

The Signal For TrumEs First Employed
yAord Henry Bcntfnck.
There is house in London which
should be the Mecca Of all whist players
who believe in the new school and tho
information" game, shrine before
which they should bow respectfully as
the fountain head CT all that is modern
in the game. This is 81 St. James
street, and it is within sight of MARI
borough House. It's fame rests chiefly
on the fact that it was at one time
known as Grahain's club, and that
within its walls Lord Henry Bentinck
first introduced the blue peter, or
signal for trumps, which consists in
playing higher card before lower
when 70 attempt is made to win the
trick. That signal has been to the whist
players of tie world like the pillar Of
fire to the children Of Israel For more
than 40 years it has led them up and
down i'll the wilderness CT arbitrary con-
veutions, but it has never brought them
to the promised land of better whist.
The blue peter was the introduction
to whist Of purely arbitrary signal or
convention, aud its seed has spread like
a thistle's until it has entirely overrun
the old game CT Calculation, observa-
ton, position and tenace," leaving in its
place long suits, American leads, plain
suit echoes, four signals and directive
discards, These seem to have choked up
all the dash, brillianoy and Individual
ity in our whist players, reducing them
all to the same level, not by increasing
the abilities of the tyro, but by curtail-'
ing the skill of tie expert. R. Frederic

Bi-UNDERS or SPEAKERS.
A Well Known Orator Points Out Some
Humorous Instances.


Mr.. Joseph Mains, himself we'll
known pablo speaker, gives The Wom-
ans Signal some amusing instances of
| the humors of public speaking 1t is,
he thinks, lack Of 'fuency that causes
the speaker SO often to blunder. Mr..
Mains has listcnd to a temperance ora
tor 'depioring the fact that friend re-
sorts to ''the frequent use of the daily
glass. +" he heard a notable lady speaker
speak Of stun children brought into
the world with no more idea of homo
comfort thun the children of negroes in
Africa. SCI sss ges 8
One speaker said, 81. rise emphatic
ally" aud another said, Il stand pros
trate with establishments Yet another
feelingly told his audience that it was
''not the platform speaker, hut the
house to house visitation ard the utter
ance of the silent word BY the caller
which did the most good. p" The state
ments taet "the previous speakers sugr
gestions were very suggestive" and that
another speakers remarks were "mis-
calculated to mislead' Mr.. Malins also
mentions.
Then there is the speaker who always
misplaces his chs" and who prays "that
we might be brought to the halter. "
There was fight of fancy when the
speaker asked, Suppose if modern
balloon dropped npen an uninhabited
island, what would the natives say2"
The scientific lecturer said of his COM
ing experiment that call depends upon
the present condition Of the body about
to be created" A town councillor spoke
of "the rivers and streams that abut
on the borough boundaries. F." Among
Mr.. Malin's other examples is the speak
er who began with saying, '"The proper
study Of mankind in general is the--the
study OF mankind in general, " where
upon an urchin in the audience cried
out, "You're a-goin in at the same hole

tleman, who, stumbling through al
after dinner speech, said, I'll have
10 more to say, and so--and so-Ill

er frankly declared he was more fitted
for the scaffold than the platform.
Sometimes the chairman errs in well
coming the speaker. A chairman was
heard to welcome speaker as one "wko
is always with us, and we wish be
would come oftener.'' Kind was TIE an
nouncement that there will be two
more opportunities to hear the lecturer
once more. " II was when the meeting
ended that the chairman asked the au.s
dience to "elose by singing just one
verse Of the doxolcgy.

Mistake is made by many "home

ings drawn very tightly. They should
be left loose--even wrinkled as the
bones when inserted will bring them to
their proper arching shape on the in

sewed to tho underarm seams. Bent
