1t is of interest to read description
of the tomato, written just three CEN

coming known in England.
1t was from his House in Holborn,
within the suburbs of London, this
first of December, 1897" that John
Gerarde, Master in Chirurgerie, :"
sent forth that Herbal or General,
Historic of Plantes,' which includes
all that was then known of botany.
He writes as follows:
1.-THE apple Of love bringeth forth
very long round stakes or branches,
fat and full of Twice, traeling upon the
ground not able to sustaine himselfe
upright by reason of the tendernesse
of the stakes and alsoe the great

with it is surcharged. Among

upon short stems clustering together,
which being fallen, there do come in
places faire anG goodlie apples. cham

1t costs next to nothing to raise, and
the supply is inexhaustible, as it is
constantly growing. It fiourishes for
nearly nine months in the year, pro-

charm.
All salad plants should be thorough

Shake the cress in big bowl of water,

in print a truer or clearer exposition OF
the principles of whist than that. OF
this remarkable octogenarian.
DR.. Pole rarely plays now, but he likes
to keep in touch with his old love, and dis
plays an interest in the developments
which are taking place in America. As he
remarks in the letter already referred to,
There can be no doubt that in your
country whist is assuming forms widely
differing from those of the Olden Times. F"
There is a touch of pathos in the capi-
talization of the last two words. The ''old-

thusiast discussed the plans for "Caven-
dish's" first book must indeed seem far
away to the writer the venerable sclen-
tist Few have done as much for the
game of the old master AS a whist theo-
rist he has no superior and but two peers,
Mathews and "Cavendish." And yet whist
is the least important of the subjects
which DR.. Pole has mastered and written
upon.
He is the authorize mention but rev

is established. AMI he gel orally gets all
there is in the least part of the hand.
There are undoubtedly quite a number
of good players who have very hazy
notion of how the cards le except in
hands which are strongly marked. Such
players are successful because of their
natural shrewdness in judging the gem
eral situation and its possibilities without
going into minute details. They make
large gains on some hanls, but they ad-
mittedly lose many single tricks through
their want of thoroughness IN placing the
cards in difficult stu .oas. There az
others who read the cares very closely and
place them with considerable accuracy
but they fail to reason ont the best line of
play and do not get all there is in the sit
uation which they see.
When player has the two faculties in
CONFERENCE.-The ability to place the
cards accurately and the skill to get the
best results from the known or inferred po-
sition-he is what might be called really
frst-class player especially for team work,
and it is the object of every captain to
pick out such men from the general run
of players and to get them together to
represent the club in important matches.
Just how well man can place cards and
how cleverly he can play to the situation
is often a matter of conjecture, and many
a player has reputation in this respect
which he does not deserve. The skill in
placing the cards is usually overestimated,
as was shown in the correspondence tour
ney in which sixteen of the best players in
the United States were asked to place the
cards in the last four tricks and were given
a week in which to do it. but seemed to
be very far astray in many instances. A
E. Taylor, of the Whist Club of New York
won the first prize for placing cards in the
contest, and with J. B. Elwell he shares
the reputation of being one of the most ex-
pert in the country in this respect.-R. f.
Foster, in the New York Sun.

MARTHA.
A sympathetic Queen.

Rev. Arthur Robins, chaplain ordi-

queen: Nothing could be more touch

every retainer has some thing in evil
dence of the soyereign's sympathy.
Not the humblest servant can be sick

committed by those who are inclined to
play hastily, or to strive for more than
there is in the hand a few may be enum-
Grated as follows:
Bold trump lead-when partner has
shown by every means in his power that
same is not desired.
Disregard of ordinary rules-under the
mistaken impression that it could make no
difference in the result.
False carding-when partner is playing
an aggressive game, and should be given
exact information.
Finessing in ones own su.t-unwar-
ranted when the chance to lose equals the
chance to gain, and there is no compen-
sating advantage in position possible. IN
case the finesse does not succeed.
Finesse in partners substantially un-
called for and tending to mislead them
regarding the distribution of their suits.
Failure to make it easy for partner.
Even the best players are drawn into
trick-losing plays, owing to the fact that
partner withheld information which would
have made the situation as clear as day.
light.
Failure to review the development, and
by elimination read opponents holding, or
or forced lead.
Similar failure to read partners forced
leads-hasty conclusions overlooking the
fact that opponent may have opened the
suit in which partner was strongest.
Careless or indefensible discarding-
which places partner at the mercy of the
adversaries.
Waiting for illnesses which can only
come at the fourteenth trick.
Last, and worst of all-shifting to oppo-
nents' tactics in the middle of a contest
and expecting partner to divine a change
for which he is totally unprepared.-L. M.
Bouve in the Boston Transcript.

Practical Advice to minister's.

Always play your cards with as little
delay as possible and do justice to your
self and partner. Playing unnecessarily
slow is a great aggravation at whist
table-you make the game bore to every
one around you instead of pleasure.
Nevertouch any card on the table during
the play of deal except your own; if
you are entitled to see any cards that have
been turned, ask the player to show them.
Point the ends of the cards to the win
ner of each trick; some players have a
habit of placing the cards of a trick won
in one pile, and the cards of a trick lost in
another; this is contrary to the law and
should not be allowed at a whist table.
To prevent mistakes in scoring, both
sides should state in a low whisper as
soon as a deal is played the number of
tricks won by each; be sure that you
agree before touching the cards. Never
speak loud enough to be heard at the next
I table.
Be sure that the score is recorded be-
fore you touch your cards to put them
back into the tray or holder
When a deal has been played and the
score recorded and vouched for, each play
er should thoroughly mix the cards and
put them back in the pocket of the tray
at once and let them remain there.
1t is the duty of each player at a table
to watch to see no mistakes occur in put
ting down the score.
Never post-mortem a deal after you
have played it when it has to be moved
to another table for play; you not only
disturb players around you, but nine times
out of ten you will get the cards mixed.
Never during a contest or match of any
kind ask a player at another table what
he made on any certain deal; invariably
some one hears the reply that has yet to
play it.

The Dean of Whist.

Probably few of the vast number of
whist players who have read with pleas
ure and profit the mastery works of Dr.
William Pole are aware that the phil
osopher' is yet living. Such is the fact,
however, and at the age of eighty-six his
intellect Is keen and his physical vigor
astonishing. A letter from the great mas
ter lies before me, written in characters
so firm and bold that an expert in hand
writing to whom it was shown judged it
to be the production of "a man of about
forty-eight, in good health, mental and
physical" etc.
When we consider that the Theory of
the Modern Scientific Game" was publish
ed in 1864. it is easy to realize that there
is long stride between that work and

ing is better prepared that sends it to
the table in a wilted condition. Cut
a few chives in tiny slices-use very
sharp knife, and when this is pre-
pared sprinkle it through the cress.
When ready to serve them make the
dressing-a simple French dressing
and be sparing with the vinegar.
1t is said that Lcndon physician
asserts that the cause of the good
health of that metropolis is due to the
fact that water cress is sold in vast
quantities at the market every morn
ing.
To make beef pie put fresh beef,
potatoes, onions, tomatoes, pieces of
butter and pepper and salt on every
layer. Cut the meat into two-inch
pieces, removing gristle, bone, and any
superabundance of fat. Cut the pota-
toes into slices a quarter of an inch
thick, rinse in cold water and parboil
them. Chop the onions fine. Slice the
tomatoes. Roll the pieces of butter or
beef drippining in sifted -four. Put the
meat and one or two teaspoons of salt
into a pot of cold stock or water, just
enough to cover the meat. Cover
closely, remove the scum as 1t rises,
simmer steadily until half done. Re-
move it from the fire. Take up the
meat and strain the gravy, keep both
warm. Line a baking dish or pan with
a paste, first greasing the sides and
bottom. Put in a LAYER of the semi
stewed meat, on the meat a layer OF
chopped onion, on the onion layer OF
sliced tomato, on the tomato half
dozen or more pieces Of Toured but
ter or dripping, on these layer OF po-
tato, on the potato a layer OF meat,
and so on in successive layers. Pour
over all the strained gravy. II the
Toured butter or dripping is not used.
the gravy must be thickened with
blended Drowned -four. Wet with cold
water the upper edge of the lower
crust: lay on the top crust; trim the
paste around the edge OF the dish;
pinch the edges of the lower and upper
crusts together Make slit in the
centre of the top crust. Put the pie
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1900-04-15

into the oven and bake. Keep a mod
crate heat. 1t will bake in from one
to one and half hours. If, after bak-
ing some time, there is fear of the
crust burning, cover it with a tin pan,
removing it in time allow the crust
to brown; serve in the dish in which it
was baked. A bay leaf for every pound
of meat may be added when the meat
is put into stew. Instead of semi
stewing the meat, it may be Drowned
in frying pan in hot beef dripping or
lard. II, when the dish is full, there
is not sufficient gravy, use stock or
water. The bottom and the side crust
may be omitted, or the bottom and
sides may be lined with crackers or
slices of bread previously dipped in
stock gravy or water. Lamb, veal,
pork, venison, or any sort of fresh meat
may be made into a pie.
Fancy lace neckwear is getting more
popular every day. A long lace scarf
to carry several times around the neck
and tie in large bow in front is one
of the popular styles. An entirely
new idea is the use of yoluminous
scarfs of tulle, carried twice around
the neck and tied twice around the
neck and tied in large bow at the
back.
Then there are fancy ribbons in all
colors. tucked and stitched, may be
worn over a stock and simply crossed
in front with pretty little pin.
Yellow chrysanthemums are the new
est fad in millinery. Chrysanthemums
OF every shade and color, indeed are
popular, even those Of black silk
petals.
In House Cleaning Times
Use small, stiff fat point bursh Tor
cleaning the corners of the window
sash.
Be sparing of ammonia in washing
windows, as it Injuries the paint.
Hot sharp vinegar or a new half
dollar will remove paint spatters, and
turpentine will take of putty stains.
