Il Had Not Hurt Him.

An English coachman, zone Of
the olden tire," is likely to be an
original character. The late Arch
bishop TAFT was driven by one Of
whom DR.. Benson used to tell this
good story:
One day a clergyman who called
at the palace asked him whether he
still had as much to do as ever. The
answer was sublime:
"There's always a goodish bit do
ing, sir. But it has been a trihe
easier since we took young Mr.. Par
ry into the business" The Right
Rev. Edward Parry had then re-
Gently been appointed bishop suf-
fragan of Dover.
Another story he used to tell of
coachman will be new to many:
A gentleman living in the neigh
borhood of Addington, finding that
the stablemen were not in the habit
of attending church, spoke to his
coachman about it.
"They ought to CO." he said.
F'That's just what I say myself,
sir" was the rejoinder. '<I says to
them: look at me. I 60, and what
harm does it do to me ,"

EDMUND H0YLE.
Tho Man Who came to Be a. Author
ity on Card Games.

Tho Man Who came to Be a. Author
ity on Card Games.
Who was Hoyle, and why should
his name be used as a sort of guar
antee of correctness so that it ad-
mits of no doubt or question? asks
a writer in Munsey's, who goes on
to answer the question.
Edmund Hoyle was an English
man, born near Halifax in the year
1872. Nearly $50 years before his
birth there had been invented
game Of cards which was originally
called triumph" Its early history
is obscure, as is the case with nearly
all games at cards, but it was almost
certainly English in its English
game. The name was gradually
Shortened into trump" and Shake
speare puns upon it in ffAntony and
Cleopatra"
"Trump" became very popular,
but again the name was changed
it is not known precisely when-to
"whisk," and later still to 'swhist,"
the word trump" being retained to
denote card of the leading suit.
Differences at play often led to vio-
lent disputes and sometimes even to
duels, and it was left for Hoyle to
establish all the points of the game
with real authority.
Hoyle was of good family and
was educated to be a barrister. His
mind was essentially a legal mind
keen, judicious and logical. Living
in London, he became greatly in
terested in the game of whist and
gave to it the same thought and
care which he would have given to
an important case in court. Every
evening he met with regular COM
pany Of whist players at the Crown
coffee house in Bedford row, where
some Of the deepest players and
most distinguished men about town
used to gather.
Hoyle's acumcn and the serious
thought which he had given to the
game made his opinion on any disz
puted point absolutely final. His
name was noiscl abroad throughout
all London. and great many peo-
pie used to come to him, begging
him to give them lessons in whist.
Finally, for the use Of his pupils, he
wrote a book, which he called GA
Short Treatise on Whist" in which
was embodied his notion of the cor
rect way of playing the game.
Hoyle continued to give instruc-
ton in whist, and he also wrote
books relating to other games at
cards. The rules that he laid down
were accepted by every one, so that
when any dispute arose it was al
ways decided S'according to Hoyle."
He lived to be ninety-seven years of
age, dying in 1859.

turned strongly We have recently sold over fifty
thousand pieces OF woollen goods, and this would
indicate that there is to be n distinct revival I'm
this branch OF business. Wool Is o per cent
