ANOTHER ANANIAS.

There was crowd Of calamity

during the great drouth Of the past
month. and each was telling the other
that all the crops would be burned up
and everybody would starve TO death.
An old man, who has the reputation or

than the one just told, put In his voice
and said that the present drouth was
nothing to the one they had when he
was a boy In "Carllny.'
They all listened carefully to his Won
derful story Of how so many people
starved to death, and how, when they
cut their bodies open, they found that
they had actually eaten grass before
they died. He told the story without
interruption, but as soon as he finished,
one OF the listeners asked.
but why did they cut open their
bodles?"
This was a poser for the old man, but
after splitting renectlvely at spot on
the wall, he said;
"Why, to see what they starved to
death on, of course"
Then he wondered what they all

spades. He also knows that tho
chances are that North is ready t.
trump the spade suit: that IL North il
probably weak in trumps and anxious
for a ruff" or North would have led
the trump. Certainly, North cannot
hold five. East has the following hand.
What shall be led? king, ten and
three small diamonds, deuce, three,
four, five OF hearts (trumps), and three
small clubs, the highest the five.
Clearly, it is out of the question for
East to lead the spade. The danger
of getting rid of the command of the
enemy's suit and allowing North to
trump is too great. There cannot be
any logical reason for the lead OF the
trump, holding the four smallest, no re-
entries in any suit, and no suit that can
possibly be brought in. The diamond
suit may be held by North, so that the
only thing that East thinks possible is
to lead the higher of the three weak
clubs (the fve), in the hope that clubs
are the partners suit. This, by the
way, is supposed to show a certain hon
or in that suit. West holds the club
trick, with the queen. Now, East is
blessed with a partner who happens to
have a little more than the average
whist perception. Remembering that
East has held the diamond trick, with
the king second hand, and thinking that
East may be ready and willing to trump
the diamonds, West leads the ace of dia-
monds as a feeler. East discards on
the diamond one of the small clubs,
meanine ruff me if you choose" West
leads a small diamond, which East
rufus. East then leads his last club
which West holds with the ace. East
makes three of the worthless trumps
before the enemy can stop the ruff, and
it does not seem possible that anything
better could have been done with the
hand. When the game was over, the
team captain, who was sitting South,
said: THAT was a peculiar opening OF
yours. u read you for an honor in
spades, and you had nothing. You
must play the system when the team
is together" NOW, the system If
the spade had been led, would have CIV
en- the enemy one more trick than they
got; or if the trump were led, they
would have made two extra at least.
This certainly was a time when "sys-
tenn should be held in allegiance to the
drop of the cards. ANY system that
has 10 be adhered to so closely that a
loss of tricks may result had better be
changed to something a little more
elastic. In the case above cited, the
only person whom it would have been
dangerous to deceive was Easts part
ner, who, it IS evident from the play
clearly understood the situation.

The secret of a delicious coffe cake is
in the preparation of the filling. The lay

piece OF cheesecloth, put in the POI, pour
over 1t three-quarters of a cup OF boil
ing water, and simmer fo~ ten minutes.
Set away from fire to settle. Reserve
one large Tablespoonful of this strong
coffee for frosting, put the remainder
ill a cup, and add thr%ee-quarters Of 4
cup of milk. Place in a double-boiler.

A scientific journal Civ s a test by
which to determine if abaking-powder
contains alum. Put a half ~teaspoonful
of the powder in the lid of a can and
char thoroughly over a strong alllcohol
flame, a gas-jet, or red-hot Goals. After
this charring add one te%aspoonful of
water, stirring with a bright silver
spoon. If the powder is pure the spoon
will remain white, if alum is present it
will tarnish as from sulphur. This EST
is simple enough to be tried by any
housekeeper. MARTHA.
