While recent bulletins from South Africa are

There arrived one day at the Swiss
hotel where was putting up in the
month Of August man and his wife
named Dubar. They were French, but
both spoke English fairly well. While
they were husband and wife, he was
so years old. and she not over %. The
disparity between their ages was re-
marked by the gossips, and it was set

money on the girls part They had
been married for year. as some one
ascertained, and the little tendernesses

How He Did It.

At dinner party the conversation,
which had Become Informal and gen.
eral, turned on the subject Of tricks
with cards One OF the men produced
a pack and proposed to ghoE the COM
pany most remarkable performance.
He asked the hostess to have a SOUP
tureen brought. and it was done. Then
he asked the lady at his right to draw
a card from the pack and make men
tai note Of it. She did so and returned
the card at random to the deck. The
performer next asked three or four Of
the male guests to shuttle the cards in
turn and requested the last Of them to
place the pack in the soup tureen and
put the cover on. Turning to the lady
who had drawn the card, he asked her
in what order she would have it APP
pear from the top of the pack, and she
said she would like to have it in the
seventeenth place. One of the gentle
men then took the pack from the soup
tureen and counted the cards from the
top, face down.
What was your card?'' the perform
er asked the lady, and she replied that
it was the ace of spades. The seven
teenth card was turned over and prov
ed to be the ace of spades.
A few days later cabinet officer,
who was one of the guests, met the
performer and asked for an explanation
Of that interesting card trick.

piled. "Yeu see, that was a pack of
