Worth Knowing,

Every person when he takes up his
cards at a game Of whist holds one out
of 635,013,559,60O possible hands. AS
for the total number of variations
possible among all players, 1t is SO
enormous as almost to exceed belief.
MIR. Babbage calculated that if 1,OO0,-
900 men were to be engaged dealing
cards at the rate of one deal every
minute day and night, for 100,O00,O00
years, they would not have exhausted
all the possible variations of the cards,
but only one one hundred thousandth
