JENKS' WHIST LESSON.

Opening Irregular but Chances Come for Lively Tilts. NO. 19. The present lesson is one played by some bright and clever, lady whisters in Lima, Ohio, where writer is now conducting a large class of pupils. The deal is one that requires an irregular opening, which develops chances for some lively tilts that are thoroughly appreciated and taken advantage of by these wide-awake students of the royal game.

The spade two is turned by west. As the hand was played north and south win eight tricks. NORTH HAND. 3 EAST HAND. SOUTH HAND.

WEST HAND. Trick 1. North opens with the club eight, endeavoring to convey to that partner hand by this irregular lead the fact his consists of four or five trumps (if five, very indifferent ones) and no good suit. This direct information enables south to formulate a plan of action with more security than if he knew less about the condition of north's hand. East plays the club king, which would be the corroct play, even with it once guarded, as he would be unable to decide whether the lead is irregular or not.

South wins with the club ace, west follows with the club two. Trick 2. South, in applying the rule of eleven, is aware that north has opened the deal irregularly. There should be only three cards out of the leader's hand better than the lead, as, since one of them has fallen second hand, and he holds three better himself, it la evident that he must lead trumps for the benent of the clubs, and leads the higher of bis week trumps, the spade queen, in accord with the rule for leading a strengthening cost or value.

West plays the spade two, north the spade four, and east wins with the spade ace.

Trick 3. East opens the long heart suit with the rule play of ace, south follows with the with the heart three. heart two, a west with the heart nine, and north Trick 4. East continues with the heart Jack, although he is aware his partner has king only or DO more, but he wishes him to know how many hearts he holds, hence he leads the lower of the two indifferent high cards, stowing more than four. South follows with the heart four and west with the heart king, and north with the heart six.

Trick 5. West had the same opportunity of knowing that the opening lead was irregular as south, and is now puzzled to know if his partner is out of the suit or not, and as he bolds both jack and ten and only three diamonds, he deems it best to lead the club Jack, which, even should east hold another, leaves him in command of the suit. North follows with club four, east trumps with the spade seven, and south play's the club five. Trick 6. East must lead his heart queen before one of the opponents gets a discard.

South follows suit with the heart five, west discards the club three, and north follows suit with the heart eight. Trick 7. East now leads the diamond five, to try to give the lead to west for him to lead another club that he may save his last trump. South plays the diamond three, west the diamond queen, and north wins with the diamond ace. Trick 8.

North now risks an under trump lead, with the spade six. Certainly the chances are that the ten is with an adverse hand, but if so, it is guarded and will win at last, and if south has It a trick is gained, hence the risk is justifiable. East follows with the spade nine, south wins with the spade ten, and west playe the spade three. Trick 9. South leads the command club queen, west follows with the club ten, and north with the club seven.

East discards the diamond six, as, since the ace and queen have been played, the jack needs but the one guard. Trick 10. South leads the club nine, which forces west to play the trump five, and north overtrumps with the spade jack. East discards the heart seven. Trick 11.

North leads the spade king, east throws away the heart ten, south the diamond nine, and west follows with the spade eight. Trick 12. North leads the diamond four. east follows suit with the diamond ace, south wins with the diamond king, and west plays the diamond seven. Trick 13.

South wins last trick with club six, west throws away the diamond ten, north the diamond two, and east the diamond Jack. English Judges' Black Cap. There is one particular part of the dress belonging to the order of the coif--the black cap which the Judges in England always put over their wigs when passing sentence of death. Little is known concerning this black cap, and many mistakes have been inade about it. Sergeant Pulling, in his work, "The Order of the the says: "The black cap, or sentence cap, Coif." of Judges and sergeants is certainly not the coif, as Lord Campbell repeatedly states.

It is, on the contrary, the covering expressly assigned to veil the colt on the only occasion when the coif is required to be hidden. By the ancient privileges of the sergeants, the coif was not to be taken off, even in the royal presence. The chief insignia of the order was to be so displayed when sitting on the bench or pleading at the bar, but this rule seems always to have been departed from in passing sentence of death. "The head of the administrator of justice was then covered, as a token of sorrow, by the black sentence cap. This cornered cap, black cap.

or sentence cap, as it is sometimes termed, 1 piece of limp black cloth, which is put on top of the wig. The cap is rarely put on except when prisoner has been convicted of murder, and then the Judge places the cap on the top of his wig and passes sentence of death." When the Judges sit in the Criminal courts and when attending church In state they always cerry the black cap- their hands as a part of their regular judicial attire.

ONLY ONE MAN REJECTED The Competency of Candidates Is Thoroughly Tested. Practicing Architects Who Have Applied to Be Placed on Official List Number 788. The state board of examiners of architects held cessions last week, conducting the i first examinations in this country to ascertain the qualifications for the practice of architecture as a profession, upon which licenses are to be granted to practice in Illinois as provided in the law of 1897. There were nineteen applicants in all.

Of these eighteen successfully passed the ordeal. Names have not as yet been given out. The board of examiners is constituted as follows: Dankmar Adler, president; Peter B. Wight, secretary and treasurer; N. Clifford Ricker, William Zimmerman, and WilA liam H.

Reeves. Applicants for a license were sent a printed slip, with questions covering such points as to enable the board to decide from the answers whether or not the candidate should be admitted to the trial. The queries relate chiefly to the educational history of the applicant. This being satisfactory, a letter of instruction was sent to each, giving the dates of the sessions. and naming the subjects.

The old reference on the fourth four of the city ball was utilized for the examination, and there the nineteen applicants three days of last week wrote answers to questions and made their drawings and designs. Most of them are graduates of scientific or architectural schools, as well as practical mechanics. They live in various parts of the state. One is a woman. Six presented such exhibits that under clause 12 of the law the board did not deem it necessary to give them personal examinations, waiving this procedure from the evidences they presented having been 80 conclusive as to their qualifications as experts In the matter requisite as to make it superAuous that they pass examinations when their answers to questions showed qualities superfor to those which would be demanded in the examination papers and the problems submitted with them.

Under the provision of section 5 of the act, their which allowed architects actually practicing profession in this state July 1, 1897 (when the law went into effect), to prove to the satisfaction of the board that they were then practicing architects, this entitling them to licenses without examinations, there have been altogether 788 applications. A few of these were by architects of other states, who were then practicing in this state. By the terms of the law these applications had to be In before Jan. 1 last. Of these the board has been able thus far to pass on about 600.

The remainder have yet to be inquired into and passed upon. This is on account of the extra number of applications which came in during December. The board hopes to dispose of all of them by the end of January, and when this bas been done a list of the licensed architects of this state will be published The law was passed by the Fortieth General Assembly at the earnest solicitation of almost all the architects of reputation. It provides for the determination of eligibility, the issuance and registration of licenses, and penalties for those who attempt to practice architecture without a license. As is seen from the foregoing, the board has fulfilled two distinct functions.

Those not practicing, but desirous of so doing, were passed upon after examination, excepting in the instance of the six, where the preliminary investigation showed adequate acquirements. Then, as the great preponderance of applicants are men established in their calling, the board has to determine upon their representations. Full powers are granted, however, and an examination may be insisted upon if the board should be in doubt. The license is for life, the fee being $25 for the first year and $5 per year thereafter. The examination fee $15.

As to the requirements, the following is explanatory: The examination shall have special reference to the construction of buildings, and a test of the knowledge of the candidate of the strength of materials, and of his or her ability to make practical application of such knowledge in the ordinary professional work of an architect, and in the duties of a supervisor of mechanical work on buildinge, and should also seek to determine his or her knowledge of the laws of sanitation cs applied to buildings.

Phisalix, an authority on the venom of insects and reptiles, has discovered that the poison of the hornet in sufficient quantity is an antidote for that of the viper. In his experiments M. Phisalix extracted the poison from the stings of the hornets and then inoculated guinea pigs with it.

The result is said to have been entirely satisfactory to all concerned except the hornet, which, under this method of treatment, is deprived of the pleasure of using his sting and noting for himself the effect of the operation. It the hornet were permitted to apply his own poison to the victims of snake bites, the same beneficial effects could be obtained, and this energetic agent of selence would be accorded the I satisfaction that arises from the performance of a congenial act. -Baltimore Sun..
