To play whist successfully the atten'
ton must be closely centered on the
game. The majority of hands are
opened with fourth best card from a
long suit to show partner the posses
sion of exactly three higher cards and
to enable him to determine from the
drop how many cards in all are held
and what they are. 1t Is much easier
to learn how to read partners hand
than is ordinarily supposed.
There are two main systems of scien-
tific whist play, known as the long suit
and short suit systems, according to
whether, In the majority of instances,
the original leaders adopting the Ne
spective systems, open from long suit
or short suit, but it must be understood
that the long -sulter sometimes opens
from short suit originally, and the
short suffer sometimes opens from
long suit originally. The main charac-
teristic of the scientific long-sult school
is the opening of a long suit in the hope
that, when the trumps are exhausted.
or are all in the hands of the leader
and his partner, the long suit may be
established and that extra tricks may
be taken by the long" or remaining
small cards of the long suit. On the
other hand, the main characteristic OF
the scientific short-suit school Is the
opening of a nine, ten, jack or queen,
usually from the top of a short suit,
with the intent that partner shall
finesse deeply in the suit lead and not
return it, and by this mode of play de-
velop tenaces In each others suits.
With hands of more than ordinary
strength the short-suit plays the long
suit game, and partner mt once re
spends with trumps, but ordinarily the
'strengtheners'-ni tens, jacks and
queens-are led originally. 1t Is an
error to suppose that scientific short
suffers lead short suit to get an early
ruff. The short-suiter's effort Is to give
an extra trick-taking value to high
cards In all the plain suits of each
player.

LOVING ROMEO AND JULIET
Their Bodies still Exhibited and Bay.
Been Photographed

There is strong evidence that the or.
Ieinal Romeo and Juliet were the lovers
of Teruel an ancient city in Spain. The
legend of the lovers of Teruel has ex.
Isted in Spain longer than that of
Romeo and Juliet In Italy, and the two
closely resemble one another. 1t Is
merely the story of two young lovers
who die rather than live without one
another.
Archer VI. Huntington, a student Of
Spanish literature, has visited Teruel
and there seen and photographed the
mortal remains of the two bodies.
They died early In the thirteenth ecu.
fury, and were buried in chapel of
the Church of San Pedro. In 1865, dur.
ing a renovation Of the chapel, their
tomb was discovered. From that time
it remained undisturbed until 1919,
when the repairs of the chapel were
terminated. Again the lovers rested in
peace until 1908, when they were re.
moved to the cloister and set up In
cupboard with a marble Inscription
above them:
Here repose the celebrated Lovers
of Teruel, Don Juan Diego Martinez de
Marcilla and Dona ISABEL de Segura
They died In the year 1217, and In 170S
were transferred to this church."
Finally" says Mr.. Huntington. in
1854 the people of Teruel, realizing at
last the Importance of their mummi.

walnut stand, supported mechanically
In a standing position and clothed In
light gauze skirts! 1t Is impossible TO
conceive anything more grotesque or
amuslngly horrible. The romantic and

The most valuable literary version Of
the story of the lovers Of Teruel was
written by Don Juan Eugenlo Harlem

United States is shown in very strik-

baugh of the Harvard Law school in an
article in The Atlantic Monthly. From
the time that man rises, all through
his business and social activity of the
day until he goes TO bed again, the gov
eminent touches him at every step, pro-
viding for him, regulating him, telling
him what he may and what he may not

America is more cosmopolitan than
any other nation; 1t has little homogen-

size, varying climate and Its very un-
equal distribution of population, it can
show little unity In the conditions that

why we have no national style OF ar

Bogg's Secret of Success.

There was once man out west OF tne
name of Boggs, and everything went
his way. He was so fortunate as to be
the object of much curiosity and COM
ment among his associates and acquaint-
ances, who asked him how he played
his game. Mr.. Boggs replied that he
worked on theory that was left him
as u legacy by his father, who was one
of the most successful men he had ever
known. He divided his property among
the other children, and to his eldest
son, John Boggs, he left the family BIZ
BILE rs token of his love and confidence
and added that within its pages you
will find the secret of my success in
life.
Boggs was good deal put out, but
he had philosophical temperament,
and nobody discovered his chagrin and
his feeling of envy toward his brothers
and sisters, who divided the real and
personal property. The next Sunday,
having nothing better to do, he took
down the Holy Word from the shelf
and, turning over its pages, discovered
a sealed envelope which bore his name
written in the well known hand of his
father Tearing it open, he found a
short but significant sentence upon u
sheet of paper. In telling his story
Boggs said that he had faithfully fol.
lowed his fathers dying injunction, and
the theory which the old man had prac-
ticed so successfully had been equally
valuable to himself.
Then, of course, everybody sprang up
and inquired what was written on that
piece of paper.
"Only this" said Boggs: Lots of
good things are lost by not asking for
them, '"-Chicago Record.

WEIGHTED SILK.
Sometimes Ninety Per Cent of the Ma
terial Is Foreign Substance.

Sometimes Ninety Per Cent OF the Ma
terial Is Foreign Substance.
At the present day the practice Of
weighing silks by means OF astringent
extracts, salts of tin, silicate and phos-
phate of soda and a variety of other
substances, all more or less injurious to
the wear Of the fiber, has reached such
height that 1t Is seriously affecting
the trade. This is especially the case as
regards black silk, but fabrics of other
colors suffer in the same manner.
1t used to be remarked that silk
dress or silk handkerchief would last
lifetime, and this Is almost true for
absolutely pure silk. But in much Of
the fabric sold at the present day there
IL not more than 10 or IL per cent OF
real silk, all the rest being extraneous
matter applied 10 the fiber in the decep
tive process Of 'weighting
Pure silk, when burned, leaves q
quantity of ash which is always consid-
erably less than l per cent, but the ash
left by some weighted silks has been
found to amount to as much as 48 per
cent of the weight of the fabric.
The extraneous substances to which
we have alluded are caused to adhere to
the fiber by passing the skeins through
hot baths Of tannin extracts, tin salts,
salts of iron, anthony, potash, etc,
and it has been found that when silk
much charged with such substances is
heated it will not burn with flame, but
will only smolder away, leaving very
large amount of ash behind.
But these weighted silks are, how
ever, Of so combustible nature that
some have been known to take fire spon-
taneously. result due to the gradual
decomposition of the substances used
for weighing. and disastrous fires have
been traced to this cause. Spontaneous
combustion is liable to break out more
