A GAME OF PENUcHLE.
How One Husband Acts When He
Plays With His Wife.

How One Husband Acts When Hs
Plays With His Wife.
"Penuchle is peculiar game, "
observed the married woman.
"When a woman wins, it's because
she Is lucky, but when a man wins
it's due to his good judgment and
nerve in holding his cards for big
melds. l play the game two or
three nights every week with my
husband for an opponent, and the
way he frowns when things are not
coming his way is enough to make
one smile, But l do not dare smile,
! do not even dare resent it when
he says things about dumb luck
when ! lay down kings for an eighty
meld or when he sneeringly suggests
that ] should be a Spectator if /
quietly spread out four aces on the
table. If | win the first game, he
demands that l shuttle the cards de-
Gently during the next game, or il
he does the shutting he takes two
minutes to do it and declares that
the cards are going to be mixed up,
all right, this game. If on his own
deal he gets hand that doesn't look
good, he murmurs something about
the luck being all on one side and
looks at me as if ] were q criminal
if I meld the first dix and pick up
the king or ace Of trumps.
Suddenly his demeanOr changes,
and | know he Is getting some good
cards, Then he lays down the 100
meld and tells me what nerve he
had in holding for it, as he had no
trumps in the deal and was halfway
through the hand before he had
anything. | smile and make the
same meld on the next play. Then
he becomes angry again and is Vi.
cious in his denunciation of my
luck.
"There is a limit to my endur-
ance, so ! remark that he should
have known by his own hand thai
the other cards were very likely out
against him and suggest that had
he led trumps 1t would have been FL
off with me. He has no answer to
that, but he frowns dismally and
picks up his next card with the air
Of a martyr. And so it goes, If he
loses three games in succession, he
gets up from the table without a
word, puts on his coat and goes out
without saying where he is going or
when he will return. From the way
he slams the door after him I gath
er the impression that he is angry
and is going to the corner to see il
Corrigan is still doing business.
Then ! wonder if it would not be
the wise course for me to deliberate

A LiNalN Alarm Clock.

There was new ledger at Mrs.
Jenkins, and, like his fellow lodg-
ers, he was a collier. The morning
after his arrival he got up early to
60 to work and in the dark stumbled
over a tin bath placed on the top
stair. Bath and lodger rolled with
a frightful clatter downstairs, and
as he picked himself up he heard a

The Bishops Discontinue.

There is an anecdote of a London
bishop who, having read that story
of John Wesley cutting out every
word of his discourse that his serv-
ant maid did not understand, deter
mined to preach to country con-
gregation the simplest sermon he
could write. He chose an elemen-
tary subject and took as his text,
"The fool hath said in his heart
there is no God" On leaving the
church he asked the parish clerk
what he thought of the sermon,
"Oh, my lord" said he, at was very
fine-very fine and grand. I've been
talking it over with Mr.. Beard, and
we said how fine it was. But, after
all, we can't help thinking that
there is a God" -Chambers' jour
nal.

IN COURTEOUS SPAIN.
Travellers Get the Best Ideas by Jour.
neyins Third Class.

neying Third Class.
The stranger cannot perhaps more
easily get a single glimpse of the
true and ancient Spain than by ac-
curing the habit of travelling third
class. The seats indeed are hard,
but the company is usually excel
lent, charming in its manners and
not offensive to any sense. Here
constant series of novel pictures is
presented to the traveller, who may
quietly study them at leisure. Per-
haps it is a dozen merry girls on
their way to a festival, packed tight
ly together and laden with packages.
Some of the more sedate among
them wear mantillas, some bright
handkerchiefs on their heads or 60
with hair uncovered; but, however
they are dressed, to whatever class
they belong, they are all clean and
sweet.
Or perhaps it is a less crowded
carriage one enters. There are two
middle class Spaniards and peas
ant group of three-a fat, jolly mid
die aged man in a peasants cos
tune, but clean and new, almost
stylish; q woman of like age, one of
those free, robust, kindly women
whom Spain produces so often, and
a pretty, bareheaded girl, evidently
her daughter, though the man seems
a friend or relative who is escorting
them on their journey. BY and by,
when we have been some hours on
our journey, he lifts from the seat
in front of him the large, heavy en-
broidered wallet-the alforja, which
Sancho Panza was always so anxious
to keep well flled-unwinds it and
draws out one of the great, fiat, deli
cious Spanish loaves and throws it
on the woman's lap. Then a dish
of Stewed meat appears, and the
bread is cut into slices, which serve
as plates for the meat. But before
the meal is begun the peasant turns
round with a hearty "Gusta?" 1t is
the invitation to share in the feast,
which every polite Spaniard must
make even to strangers who happen
to be present, and it is as a matter
of course politely refused, "Muchas
gracias." Before long the black
leather wine bottle is produced from
the wallet, and the meal proceeds.
At its final stage some kind of sweet
meat appears, and small fragments
are offered to the two middle class
Spaniards and then, with a slight
half movement, expressing a fine
courtesy restrained by the fear Of
offering any offensive attention, to
the foreign csballero also. 1t is not |
improper to accept this time, and
now the leather bottle is handed |
round, and the middle class Span
iards avail themselves of it, though |
with awkward unfamiliarity.-At- |

ooLDTIELD MAN IMvEMTs
NEW FILTER PROCESS

f. j. Sweetland of GOldf1eld has in
vented a new type of filter press for use
in connection with the cyanide process
that promises to put the old style va
cuum filters now in general use. out of
business. The machine is so designed
that a very large tonnage can be handled
by a single shiftman. consequently the
cost per ton for alteration is reduced to
a minimum. The residues. after being
washed. are discharged from the ma
chine by pressure and without manual
labor.
The Machine has been subjected to
thorough tests at the Nevada Goldf1eld
Reduction Works and found to work
satisfactorily in every respect. The
shines that required thirty to ninety
minutes to wash with the vacuum filters,
could be washed in ten minutes with the
Sweetland filter. and with greater ef-
iciency and economy in other respects.
The filter also reduced the amount of
water rejected with the waste shines, an
important matter in a desert country.
Mr.. Sweetland Is now in Los Angeles
having a ffty-ton filter built, to be in
stalled in Goldfeld. A company has
been formed for the manufacture Of the
new invention.
