The cards being shuf1ed. are presented
BY and 4 to 2 n o. respectively. to out.
-Four hands are dealt in the usual way,
dummy's cards being placed opposite the
dealer on his own table.
If the dealer can declaTe IN his own hand
he does so. If not, or il there is any doubling.
his partner, sitting opposite him, must look
at the dummy and declare for him. Sup
pose No. 1 passes the make; No. 4 must take
No. is dummy n make the trump.
1t is necessary. OF course, for the combina-
ton Of players at one end of the table. or at
one of the two Joined tables, to wait until
the combination at the other end is ready to
play, so that they may not be interrupted
by the dealer at the other end calling upon
his partner to help him out. As soon as the
declaration and doubling, il any, at each end
is settled, the play proceeds in the usual
way. dummy's card being turned face up as
soon as the eldest hand leads. 1t is Just the
same as If the two dummy players in an or
binary game had left the room after laying
down their hands face up.
The results are scored in the usual way,
but three separate score sheets must be
kept, or there must be on the sheet
for three rubbers side by side, because three
distinct rubbers are played, two of them
simultaneously. In the position shown one
rubber is between Nos. / and 4 as part
ners against Nos. 2 5 at one end Of the
table, and against Nos. 3 and Q at the other
end. The rubber between Nos. 2 and 5 and
5 and 8 will come on the tapis at the next
deal.
The first deal finished and scored. the
players move in such a manner as to bring
each Of them in turn TO a lesser number Of
seat than the n he has just occupied.
This will take No. 9 to seat No. s; 5 to 4, to 8,
s TO ? and 2 to /; No. 1 going TO No. Q. This
will make the arrangement for the second
deal. if we suppose for a moment that the
players have retained their original num-
bers. as follows:

DISPLAYING
They Show 20 the Best Advantage In the
Simplest Vases.

From The 81. Louis Globe Democrat.
When displaying flowers in vases. as on
q metal or centre table. one thing ought
10 be borne in mind, and that is. the palmer
the vase the better the flowers will show.
Somebody says that the difference betwee
a vase and a "vahze" is that the latter costs
more than $50. But a "vahze" that costs
IS or 90 is now called an %amphora. and both
the "vahze" and the amphora we're never in
tended for use, but to be placed on stands
or In inches as evidences that their owner
has money to burn. To put flowers In either
would spoil the effect Of the flowers. for the
eye would be attracted by the beauty or
material OF the receptacle and the flowers
would be overshadowed.
To get the best possible effect OF flowers
put them In the plainest possible vase or
bowl that will not attract attention. then
they will be appreciated for themselves and
no comparison will be instituted between
them and the receptacle that holds them.
A double handful Of oXeye daisies, black
eyed susans, ru~dbeckias. cornhowers or
any other common blossom will show to
more advantage In a brown earthen pitcher
than In the c~ostliest amphora ever carved
out Of Parihn marble.
The Japanese understand this principle.
All their flower vases are Of the plalneEt
possible construction. : ut the flower loving
Jsps go to the opposite extreme In displaying
their 40 wers and try by judicious arrange
ment to get the best possible results from
very few flowers. They seldom display
more than half dozen flowers in a vase.
and try alwsys 20 have more foliag &c than
bloom, making green the predominant color.
thus setting of TO the best advantage the
tint OF tho flower against a neutral back
ground. That. however. Ia a matter OF
taste. A few flowers well displayed give an
effect Of dainty elegance. Americans like
flowers In the mass. but the good taste OF both
agrees regarding the simplicity 81 tho vnse.

FUR USED IN MAKING HATS
From the Coypu. a South American Rodent
That Resembles the Beaver.

That Resembles the Beaver.
Along the river banks and in the lowlands
Of South America there is found a medium
sized rodent which in many respects re-
sembles wi North American beaver. This
animal is known az the coypu. and it's fur
is spoken Of in the fur and hat trades as
n%utria. say Fur Nebs. Its chief difference
from the beaver is in the tail. which more
nearlv resembles that OF the otter. A fully
grown ooypu is about thirty-fve inches in
length, including the tail, and the length Of
the body alone is from eighteen TO twenty
two inches.
\ The fur Of the coypu is short and silky
and much resembles beaver fur. while the
overhairs are stiff and o. a ~yellowish r-e-S
In color, varying from one to three inches
in length. Nutria first came into use about
the year 1910, being used as an imitation of
beaver in the making Of hats. Later on,
the best skins were brought into use by
f%urriers, who worked IL up in imitation Of
beaver, otter and seal. for which purposes
IL is still used.
sold by the skin, while those which ere
good only for hatters' furs are sold by

ters' furs) 80 cents TO ~ cents per pound
II is said that about rs per cent. Of the tota.
catch Of this fur lie used in the United States
and about 80 per cent. OF the catch 70 used
In hat making.
The coypu Is hunted and trapped from
May until October by Indians and Gauohoa,
who catch large numbers OF the animals.
After skinnlng. the pelts are dried 10 the
open air and In this condition are Gold TO

II is now the turn of Nos. 8 and q to deal,
and they play the second round Of their rub
Der against both the other pairs.
II the players continue to move in this
manner after every deal it is obvious that
by the time six deals have been played
they will have individually occupied every
seat at the two tables and also that all
the combinations OF partners and adver-
saries will have been exhausted because
in one deal No. 1 had 2 and S against him
but the second time he dealt he had 3 and 9
against him.
II is also pointed out by Mr.. Bray that the
numbers OF the seats originally occupied
by each player will be the number OF the
hands on which he and his partner will
deal when he sits at one end Of the table.
Although there must be an equal number
OF deals between each set OF opponents
1t does not follow that the rubbers will end
equally As soon as a rubber is finished
1t can be scored to the individual accounts
Of the four composing it. just as in the or
binary game, and the next rubber can be
proceeded with, il it is agreeable that there
should be no change OF partners. But
II i is desirable to change partners after
each rubber the combination that is finished
must either sit idle for a deal or play a deal
for fun.
Suppose that at the end Of the fourth deal
l and I nave won their rubber against 2
and 5 The end Of the table at which 1,
and { are sitting for the fifth round will be
Iule Nhlie o Us playing MS zeal against 3
and q. II that deal does not end that rub
Der all six players will nave TO take part
IN the next change Of position but IL No. 5
should win his rubber against 3 and Q on
the fifth round Nos. 2, 3 and 5 would be idle
next time while No 6 finished his rubber
against | and 4. This shows that the same
players are pot idle for more than one deal
at a time and soon get back into the game
again.
Opinions differ as TO the merits of the ar
~rangement, but those who have tried IL for
think it is much better than sitting out and
looking on for each alternative rubber
when there are Just six players,

Frank Richardson Dead.

Oldest and best known passenger en-
giheers on the Low Grade Division OF
P. r. r., died at his home in Drift
wood Saturday afternoon of paralysis.
Mr.. Richardson was among the first
engineers to come on the Low Grade
over thirty-fve years ago. He was
considered one OF the best engineers
on this road. He had been Ia num-
ber of wrecks during his long service
at the throttle, but by his bravery and
cool-headedness had prevented some OF
them from being more serious than
they otherwise would have been. He
was jovial, good natured engineer
and no matter what went wrong Frank
was always the same. His pleasant
greeting by word, smile or wave OF the
hand will be missed oy his numerous
friends along the Low Grade.
Funeral service was held at his late
home in Driftwood yesterday forenoon
and interment was made at Union City.

DIABoLIcAL PLOT FRUSTRATED.
Young Man Arrested IN Act OF Blowing
up House With Dynamite.

A most diabolical act. which would
have caused the death OF from 10 to
20 people, was frustrated by the state
police at Walston, a mining town near
Punxsutawney, about one o'clock last
Sunday morning By the arrest of
young Italian named Frank Adams,
a member Of the Black Hand Society,
who was in the act OF placing a can
OF dynamite under the house OF Sal
vatore Spanelli. A fuse was attached
to the explosive. When searched
Adams had a revolver and large
stilletto on his person.
In some manner j. F. Robinson, cap
tain of Troop d, State Police, learned
that Spanelli's house was to be blown
up by dynamite Saturday night and
posse Of five police we're secreted
near the house and caught the villain.
When given the third degree In
the ''sweat box" Adams stated that
three or four weeks ago he was given
his choice Of joining the Black Hand
or being killed, and when convinced
that the murderous gang would execute
their threat, he joined the Black Hand
and at that meeting was delegated
to kill Salvatore Spanelli In the man.
ner attempted Saturday night, be-
cause one of the members Of the Black
Hand had grudge at Spanelli. Adams
was to receive 5000 or killing Span
elli.
There we're nine persons In Spanelli's
house, himself, wife and seven children,
and eight persons in the adjoining
house, only three feet away. The
dynamite was placed in cellar window
under Spanelli's house, between the
two houses, and the explosion would
have destroyed both houses and killed
the inmates, had the plot been carried
to completion.
Adams was taken to the county jail
In Brookville yesterday afternoon.
