TRUMPS AND PIE.
The Way the Rev. Mr. Gately Played a
Hand at Whist.
One evening, the evening alter Christ
mas, we were seated at the whist table
in our room. Henry and I had had our
Christmas dinner with his people, and
Mr. Gately had had his at the rector's
house. Mr. Gately was assistant at the
parish church. The major, poor man,
had had no other resource than to sit at
Mrs. Buckingham's tails.
"What kind of dinner did the duchess
give you on Christmas?" asked Henry
of the major, who was dealing with
quiet precision.
"Colossal, " replied the major 'colos
sal, sir, and familiar."
"Do you mean," said I, "she gave
you the same old things, only moro of
them?"
"Precisely, madam. It is your lead
and hearts are trumps. " The major had
turned the queen. "We had five kinds
of pie," he added.
I led some small card of a plain suit.
Mr. Gately took the trick, playing a
king second hand, and led the king of
hearts. I saw the major looked puzzled
and frowned.
"Five kinds of pie 1' Mr. Gately ex
claimed mildly as the hand went round.
"Dear mel What ill judged benevo
lence I" Then, his king having taken,
he led the ace and smiled.
"What infernal carelessness 1" burst
from the major. His queen had fallen
upon his partner's ace.
"Oh, hardly that! Surely the intent
was manifest not that I defend tho
practice, but one could hardly er"
Mr Gately leaned forward as ho spoke,
still smiling, his cards clasped cgainst
his breast and his head slightly to one
side.
"Confound it, man, I turned the
queen when I dealt!" aid the major.
"The queen? Oh, yes, to bo sure! 1
fear I am very stupid. " Mr. Gately wc.s
the acme of devout contrition. "A
Guilty Conscience, " by William Mayna

PURE TOBACCO.
The London Lancet Says It Is Not Injuri
ous to Smokers.
Referring to the agitation started in
France by a society which acts on the
principle that "tobacco is always use
less, often harmful and sometimes homi
cidal, " The Lancet says: "We agree in
so far that we allow tobacco to be some
times very harmful. It is, of course, a
poison, out so is tea, as also corree
two vegetable products which are con
sumed by nearly every inhabitant of
either England or France. All three can
be and very often are abused, but this
does not do away with their reasonable
use. in tneseaays or rusn ana nurry to
bacco has often a most soothing and
restful effect. The tobacco sold in
France is, to put it mildly, not good,
and although in England it is possible
to buy fairly good tobacco it is next
door to impossible to get it pure.
"That is to say, it is nearly always
scented or treated in some way so as to
give it an artificial flavor. Cigars are
beyond the purse of any but a rich man,
and as for cigarettes the filth sold as
such is beyond description. A pure to
bacco society would be an admirable in
stitution, and, as for the traders saying
'customers like scented tobacco,' the
customer seldom gets the chance of
smoking anything else. The truth is
that, as in the case of highly scented
tea or soap, it is cheaper to 'fake' infe
rior qualities of stuff than to supply the
real thing. To be unsophisticated an
article must be of good quality, but the
craze for cheapness is ruining every-

Iled Men So Love to Drink.
"I was down in tho Indian Territory
a few weeks ago," said a St. Louis man
tho other day, "and business took me to
the capital of tho Cherokee Nation.
There is no country in the world where
prohibitory laws are as strictly enforced
as in tho fivo civilized tribes. It is
against the law to import any sort of
intoxicating liquors under severe penal
ties. Tho result is that it is a common
thing for people to drink camphor, per
fume, hair tonics and any old liquor,
that contains the faintest suggestion of
alcohol.
"I actually saw ono fellow drink a
large swallow of red ink and learned
that this carmine fluid was a most pop
ular beverage. A good sized bottle of it
could be had for 50 cents, and it was
warranted to 'mako tho drunk come.'
It seemed to me that when the Indians
were willing to go to such extremes to
indulge their craving for fire water that
it would be just as well to let them
have the genuine article, which couldn't
at the worst be half as baneful as the
vile compounds they habitually use."

Her View of the Matter.
"Talking about happiness," observed
Aunt Maria severely, "do you know
what I think about the matter, John
Samuel?"
John Samuel didn't know and mildly
admitted as much.
"I just think it all comes down to
this that most nearly everybody's for
locking up their house and a-searching
the world for that contentment they've
thrown away in their own lumber
