On account of the limited space the light-tower has also to do duty as a iamproom and repair-shop. In spite of the close quarters evervthing is neat and clean and all tools are where they 1 be found at a moment’s notice. I'he question of a storeroom was a seri- e and remained unsolved for a long the keepers puttine all extra material rrooms.

"A great s crowded into smal and toone not used to it there seems reely room to turn around. The \se, which is built on a group of piles, < u Roor area of 100 square feet. This is led into four rooms—one for the fog . one for the kitchen and a sleeping- for each of the keepers. A small is cut from one of the rooms toallow 8p n room for a stairway to the light-tower. This i« 40 feet above low tide and exactly the same size and shape as the Goat Island tower. The lamp is aimost a duplicate. It is of the fifch order and has lenses made v Sauttier & Co. of Paris. The lamp has circular wicks and burns mineral oil. The lenses are made to cover the whole horizon | the top of a tower of piles. A stairway leads up from the water to a platform on which a small house is built for the pur- | pose of storing tools, oil and other mate- The lamp is on topof this house and 1ed by a ladder. The lenses are of xth order exactly the same shape as arger lamps. The lamp burns mineral oil and is arranged with a reser- voir so that it will burn several days with- out attention if. necessary. The lens is pure white, but the lamp 1s made to show a red ray by having a chimney of red | glass. In spite of the amount of light ab- | sorbed by the colored glass it can be seen for seven miles in any direction if there is no fog. The Oakland harbor lights are in charge of C. McCarthy, the same man who first lighted them in 1890. He has only one as- sistant. Samuel Hounsell occupies that position at present and has held it for the last two years. It hasbeen adifficult mat- ter to get men to stay there on account of the cramped quarters. Thereis, in fact, less room’ to move around in than there would be on board a ship, and no man who had not been a sailor could stand it long. The work is hard and dangerous at times. The only way to reach either of the light- houses is from a small boat and in stormy weather this is impossible. To attend to the south jetty light is often a difficult matter. The sea runs high if there is the | t of a blow and to make a landing is an almost impossible task. On several occasions the keepers have been com pelled to remain there many hours, because the sea was too rough to allow them to leave. On one occasion Mr. Hounsell went over to attend to the light and had started back when the sea became so rough that he found it impossible to even get near the large lighthouse and was compelled to re- main on the bay all night and a _part of the next day. The keepers divide the night into two watches, a scheme that works very well in fine weather, but when it is necessary to use the fogbell itisim- possible to sleep on account of the noise so close to the bedrooms. Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Hounsell are both old seamen, and, while they do not exactly enjoy the mo- | notony they are sometimes compelled to stand, they say the lite is a pleasant one and a great deal safer than being on a leaky sbip. gE - French Sailor’s Minstrel. An official sailor’s minstrel is, says our Paris correspondent, a [fiiclures ue inven- tion of M. Lockroy, the French Minister of Marine. Yann Nibor, the bard in question, has just returned from a long tour of in- struction. His mission has been to gather material for new patriotic ditties and to instill those already composed into the voices and memories of the crews. Yann Nibor is the pet of French naval officerson active service, for they honestly believe that he has managed to displace the meaning- less and obscene doggerel so detrimental to young sailors, and to create in its stead a hearty collection of seafaring ballads.— London Chronicle.

In the majority of cases you should at once return your partner’s suit—and it does not mean that you want to trump it. There are times when you should not do s0, and again there are situations when you should immediately}lead trumps; but | how is the whist-player to know these things? It is very simple when you stop and think. Not one beginner in twenty five will ever try to draw inferences from | each card as it falls; it cannot be done in a second and you should always take time | enouch to size up each play. Do not play | too fast, and do not sit down to play with | any one that will grumble at your playing | slow | Wken the leader places his card on the table it speaks volumes, and when 1tshows both elements of strength—length and | | master cards—and one lead establishes the | suit his partner shouid lead trumps at once | if he holds three or more; they can be led once with absolute safety. Tbeonly way | you can pring in an_established suiz is to | get trumps out of the way, and it is quite in your adversaries will refrain from leading them when they have reason to | suspect an establistied suit against them. | 1f you hold but two trumps it is better to | return your partner’s suit than open a new | The original leader will “read the drop, ys, *'my partner is weakiny | trumps, not more than two, and leaves it to me to open trumps or continue my established suit, with a goed chance of forcing the strong trump hand.” { ain, when the partner wins the first | trick and it takes another round or possi- | bly two to establish it, he should return the suit immediately, unless he has four or more trumps, or has a suit of his own that he knows beyond the question of | doubt is better than his partner’s. v to his partner—speaking by the card— *‘Abandon your suit and let us try to es- tablish this one, for it is a stronger one than yours.” I do not belicve thereisa case on record where two plain suits were established and brought in at one deal; it is very seldom you can bring in one long suit. ~But the hardest stumbling block for the beginner to get over is the trump suit lead. How many times have you heard this, “Always return your partner’s lead of trumps.” As a general rule it is the proper thing to do, but there are times hould not return it (speaking now of his original lead of trumps). For instance, the original lead is a small trump marking four with leader; partner wins. He siould not return the trump in this case withcut grave reasons of his own for so doing.: If he has a very strong, plain suit, it is well to at least lead one card from it and then return the trump. If he is very weak in the other three suits d only two trumps originally it is | better to switch to a strengthening card in | a short suit or even a singleton and not lead a trump, for one of your adversaries holds as many trumps as your partner, and they also have two chances to your one of having u suit to establ and bring in. We think the original leader with five small trumps and no strong plain suit should open with the lowest trump in- stead of the fourth best, and if the devel- opment shows there is no strong' suit with the leader or partner it is then a good | time to go in 107 a ruffing game. A “fad” that has been going the rounds and is still in vogue with some playe-s is making an irregular opening lead from a short suit to ask for a lead of trumps through an honor turned. The tricks that are lost in trying to catch that honorwould win many a whist match. A situation that many whist-players never seem to understand is what finesses are proper or should bc made. When a low card is originally led and partner holds ace queen and at least one more he should finesse the queen and lead the ace. This is the only finesse justified in plain suits. If holding ace and queen only, play ace and return queen. The exception to this is, with very great trump strength you mig:t finesse the jack from ace jack. 1t is generally best to let the leader do the finessing in his own suit. It should not be forgotten that holding king jack and a small card led you should play king and return jack. Always tell your partner how many cards you hold in his suit, whether plain suits or trumps, and do this as quickly as possible. When a high card is led, hold- ing four or more on his original lead, play your third best first round and second Dest on second round. Whether the original lead was from four or five cards in suit, it enables you to unblock and also to_count the number of cards you hold. This is not according to “‘whist authority,” but is our way of doing it and a trick-winner. It enables your partner to place every card in the suit led almost to a certainty after the second round. So far we have been the partner of the original'leader. Let us continue and read what inferences should be drawn from the leads, from ace down to the deuce. The lead of in plain suits: Ace—Proclaimsthe presence of king or queen jack, five or more in suit. King—Says ace or queen, possibly both, but’ only four cards in suit, Queen—Marks the king in hand, with possi- bly the ace, but five cards at least in suit, or queen jack ten, four or five cards in suit. Many players of the firstclass lead ten from en jack ten, not that it is a better lead .\ queen, but'it sim‘fliflel the queen lead. Jack—is led from king, queen jack and at least two others. (King queen marked with leader) Add the ace to the above and the lead is the same. Ten is led from king jack ten and others. Some playerslead the fourth best from this combination, but N. B. Trist says he sees no reason for departing from the time-honored custom. £ Nine is led from ace queen ten nine, and ace jack ten nine; with or without one more smallcard we lead the nine. Cavendish says five in suit lead ace. Eight to deuce is led as the fourth best from all combinations, not inciuding the above. In trumps the leads vary a little, Our | fever. In this case he should open_this suit and | i advice would be to get a little whist book —they are all good. ‘When your partner opensthe game hesi- tate long enough before you play to read as much of his hand as his lead will tell you. Don’t hurry; if vou do you are lost. We haveoften been asked this question: Is a player ever justitied in leading a “sneak” or singleton as an original lead? The answer is, “ever” is a long time. There is no law to prevent any person do- ing this if he wants to. Itcould happen that you would be justified in making sach a lead, but the writer never held a hand that he could say he was justified in so do- ing. Now, dear reader, do not confound this with any other than the original lead the first card piayed next to the dealer. No other lead during that game can be an “original’”’ lead. When the game is once opened or under way a singleton lead would be the best you could possibly make at times and always right and proper, laughs and sneers to the contrary notwith- standing, when the player uses good judg- ment.

New Trails to Be Opened and Old Ones Improved in Yosemite and Sequoia Parks. The purpose of the Interior Department to guard the National parks of California with greater vigilance is manifested in the annexed communication recently received by General Forsyth: HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, A. G. OFFICE, Washington, March 21, 1896. The Commanding General, Department of Cali- Jornia, San Francisco, California—Sik: 1 have the honor to inform you that the Secretary of the Interior having requested, if compatible with public interests, that two troops of cavalry be assigned to the Yosemite National Park and two troops of cavalry to the Sequoia and Gen- eral Grant National Parks in California, for the protection of those parks during the current year, the Major-General Commanding the ‘Army, under the approval of the Secretary of War, directs that you issue the necessary orders for the detail of two troops or four troops of cavalry, in your discretion, for this service. The Major-General Commanding concurs in your views as to the advisability of designating the superintendent a month or so in advance of the arrival of the troops ir order to allow a suflicient time to send notifications to the various stock men surrounding the reservations to keep out of the parks. Very respectfully, GEo. D. RUGGLES, Adjutant-General. An official’ copy of the foregoing was transmitted yesterday to General Graham, commanding officer at the Presidio, for his information, General Forsyth, in accord- ance with the above instructions, directs that Troops B and K, Fourth Cavairy, be sent to the Yosemite, and Troops C ana I, Fourth Cavalry, to the Sequoia, in order that by a division of the duty time may be afforded to improve some of the old trails and to open new ones for future use. Fur- ther instructions will follow later. ‘When General Forsyth visited the Yosemite and Sequoia National parks last summer he made an inspection of the res- ervations and was impressed by the insuf- ficiency of trails and the impassable con- dition of many of the existing roads or paths. Itis presumed that a report of his observations were transmitted to general headquarters and that the improvements now authorized were suggested in his re- port.
