THE JOB DOESN'T PAY.
Queen Victoria Had 10 Draw ON Her
Private Fortune to Meet Running


Expenses.
LONDON. May 1.-THE ladies OF
the late Queen Victoria's court, after
anxious waiting, have learned that they
are to receive pensions, although min
uate ones. Many of these former men,
bers of the royal household. though OF
high lineage, have mesgre fortunes, and
the maids of honor, etc, found their
posts richer in honor than in profit.
The excuse for the meagreness of the
pensions is the inadequacy of the pro-
visions for the royal expenses. During
the last few years Queen Victoria was
unable TO make the civil list meet the
official expenditure. and was obliged to
draw on her private fortune. King
Edward now has TO keep up Balmoral
Castle and Orborne House. costing
9S1,000 annually. though he dislikes
both places.

WHIST.
FORCING THE STRONG HAND-HOW
TRICKS ARE LoST-IF ONE WANTS
TO BE GOOD PLAYER PRAC-
TICE CAREFULLY THE SUBJOIN-
ED ADVICE.

The following acticle is quoted from the
Boston Transcript. and is recommended to
the careful attention of our readers:
Many tricks are lost in a Whist match
by the younger devotees of the game on
account of certain listlessness which, ii
not eradicated, will prove a sure barrier
to any appreciable advance along the road
one must travel if he expects to become
an expert player. 1t matters not how poor
a hand may be, the attention of the player
should not be relaxed for moment. He
should persist in counting all hands, no
matter what their trick-takng possibility.
1t is not only good training, but you can
never tell even with the most worthless
hand but that your labor will be rewarded
and one or even two tricks saved and a
match won thereby. We saw two tricks
thrown away recently because, with
worthless hand, two expert players did not
count their own suits. and permitted a re-
woke to pass unnoticed.
LAS a very fine player said recently to
the writer. the whole game of whist is
played in the cards below the 7. 1t is not
expected that beginners should attempt to
follow everything, it is not for beginners
that we are writing, but for those who
have ambitions of getting into the fore
most ranks. How many times do we hear
good players say, L forgot he ruffed at
the third trick And yet, even beginners
are expected to count the trumps with alb
solute certainty. Begin with noting the
fall of the trumps, then your own and
partners suits, and lastly add the drop of
the adversaries' cards, and never relax
Of for iosf p,,t ha
play of a deal commences. OF course 1t
means work and takes time, especially for
the first few weeks, but after the habit
is once formed it will become a source Of
pleasure as well as profit.
THE following hand as developed will
serve as good practice for the student In
noticing the drop as well as fer other
purposes. You are South and hold:
S. g.
D.-A, 10. 8, To.
Arrange the cards of the other players
so that they will play themselves and play
the hand as in an actual game, making
your deductions as the play develops trick
by trick, and see how closely you will
agree with the player who originally
played Souths cards, after playing trick
eight.
1T may be remarked in advance that
South does not start a call for trumps on
the first trick because he has only two
cards of his partners suit and does not
know that it is established; furthermore,
there is nothing yet in his own hand to
make. This is the practice of teams man
aged by Captain H. H Ward.
