Orioin of BRIDGE,

A great many people play bridge,
and few fortunate ones occasionally
make grand and little slam. but very
small minority have any idea OF the
origin OF he name Of this pleasant
bur uncommon score. says Il writer In
an English magazine. Close to Bos-
ton. in The United States, IS the out
living town and harbor Of Salem. Ger.
tain prisoners kept here in confine-
ment amused their WEAKNESS by in
venting aud playing card game into
which they introduced terms borrowed
from the place names in the neighbor-
hood. In The bay are Two ISLANDS
called respectively Great and Little
Misery. These names were adopted
for their game and have fonnd their
way into ours. We even have game
called misery bridge. 1t is rather Gu
rious to think OF these Boston prison
ers invcntine these terms. which were
destined TO. come into use again after
all these days intervening. Slam" 10
