WHIST AND BRIDGE.
By Leonard Leigh.

1itera ture Of whist was there anything
Of Importance in his enunciation that was
not known to Matthews? l believe that
careful study of ~ latter's manual
will satisfy any capable reader that all
we have learnt in the century since It
was published does not amount to great
deal We have systematized; Cavendish
did much and did it remarkably well In
his work of reducing the principles OF
the game to definite rules. but even his
discard and his system Of unlocking
the two things on which his claim to
originality must chiefly depend were
known in principle, if not in form to the
early masters. American leads, and the
numerous family Of conventions which
sprang from them cannot be said to have
introduced anything new in the way OF
basic principles.
AS to the practice of those days, the
authors of THE Principles and Practice
of Whist" afford a very good example in
that work. The deal involves no prac-
tees which were unknown to Matthews
and the best players OF his day. The
ending is. card for card. identical with
one recorded by Matthews in 1896. and the
position could only have been arrived at
by course of play similar to that re-
corded In the diagram.

BRIDGE.

Before taking up the play of deals In de-
tail we will give few hints on tactics in
general, without any attempt to arrange
them. Later, In the play of hands the
same points will be illustrated.
It has been said that as general thing
the original leader will make his opening
from his longest and strongest suit: IN
the case Of a trump declaration he should
make his choice with regard to high card
strength rather than length. and the best
suit he can breach is one which will leave
him with the lead after the dummy hand
is exposed. He will then regulate his
continuation by the character Of the
exposed hand The expression. Heading
through strength" is frequently. taken
too literally; 1t should not be understood
to imply anything more than moderate
strength. 1t is worse than useless to lead
through a holding which is long enough
to become established In two or three
rounds, and still less advisable to lead
through one which includes ace aud klna

trouble has been to find a remedy that

This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike.
until the question was solved three years
ago by the appearance of new dis
covery in the medical world known as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which it
was claimed was a certain, reliable cure
for every form of stomach trouble.
Physicians, however. would not accept
such statements without first giving the
new remedy many tests and carefully
observing results.
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section of the
country and with surprising and salts
