If tailor be the ninth part of a man, 1t muct be a consolation to the card-player to be at least fourth. If. indeed, he be dummy" he need not be tailor's dummy. The whole range of human emotions is his. The tri- umphant holder of four trumps, the massacred and innocent victim of a grand slam." the irritable and irrec- onoiiable whiner whose trick has been doubly won by sleepy partner, are subjects for caricatur1st and tragedian alike. For MA game of cards one has the mirror and measure of a man. A Hogarth might sharpen his pencil or a Lamb write whole series of essays upon the card-player. The benevolent old gentleman. with gold-rimmed spec tacles; the studious old maid whose mind carries the procession of cards like human kaleidoscope; the dream or who Is thinking of some suit more romantic than the four cardinal points of the card-player's Compass; the hopeless and abjecC beginner-all move in the pasteboard circle. They are not invariably models of propriety. of restraint and temper. but always they a-e artists models.-R. R. Buck Icy in the Londtu T. P.'s Weekly.

NAVAL TIP FOR sEAaoERs
Lemon and Ginger Should Be Given to Those Not eure of Themselves
 on Shlpboard.

A surgeon on the naval hospital ship solace has remedy for seasick- ness which should be of interest to folks who are going on winter cruises and are apprehensive th&t they may have to stay below deck most of the time
 It Is simply . deccction of lemon and ginger. and may be taken in the form of lemon soda and ginger ale. or dash of seltzer may be added to . little lemon juice and Jamaica ginger. The doctors idea is that the lemon causes a greater secretion of the gas- trio juices and that the ginger serves as . stimulant, the need of which can be best appreciated by the victim.
 The remedy has been used on the solace with various degrees of sue cess. and 1t Is not pretended that 1t will prove effective for everybody. It should be taken in small doses as soon as trouble seems to be approaching. although 1t may be of some use at 2 well-advanced stage
 Uninviting as the beverage may seem, it can be made after a little experimenting so that 1t Is very agreeable The lemon juice and gin ger is not as Dalatable as the soda. but has been found to give better re- suits Usually 1t Is best to make 1t with more ginger than lemon and with just enough carbonic water to make 1t drinkable.

 It is an accepted fact that nine out of ten of the troubles of infants and .hil- dren is intestinal. You notice it by the fact that the child is constipated, it belches. Is peevish and cries. Don't give a remedy that contains an opiate, because the child will get in the habit of needing it, and don't become alarmed and run at once for doctor.
