Though on Sunday and Monday her recovery was confidently expected, she yesterday suf fered a relapse which exhausted her strength till life ebbed Itself Into that sweet and peaceful sleep , that knows no earth waking. She was the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Olivers, of hake Ariel, but for the past two years she has been a member of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Christmas' family, in North Scranton, whero she bus been prized ns an own daughter. To an ex ceptional degree her girlhood was en dowed with the rich gifts of nature and the still richer graces of the Christian.

Rules That Should Be Sedulously Studied and Observed, From tho Boston Transcript, In any game of cards there are cer tain customs, or inuiiiiorlsnis, tho care ful observance of which adds greatly to tho smoothness, dispatch and pleas ure of a game, First. Tho best and easiest way to shuffle and mix tho curds Is to take the pack In trt-o parts, ami holding them loosely, ram one part Into the other, and then, holding the pack in your bunds, keep throwing the cards over nnd over each other from the bottom to tho top. Tho work of dividing the pack In two parts und putting them down on the table, bending the curds almost double to make one part mix In with the other, takes more time, does not mix them as well, und needlessly wears out the cards. Second. According to oil authorities you should "cut" for deal. Tho habit pursued by many of sprawling the pack over the table for the players to MTts,lK. - i - .J; - ..,::iJi - .. .j AMfcA. iAiWfriW I draw 'from is a waste of time aud trouble, it being impossible to draw therefrom without turning the corners of the cards in every direction, making it no lit tic trouble for the dcalor to gather them up. It is hard to under stand how any one should get into such a habit of unnecessary and absurd waste of time and trouble. Third. The dealer having passed tho pack to you to cut before dealing, you should always place those cut nearest to him. Many don't seem to know, to Judge from their actions, what to do with the cards cut off from the top of the pack, and not infrequently place them farther from (instead of nearer to) tho dealer. This, it will bo ob served, makes It n little awkward for tho dealer in gathering them up. Somo players, again, won't lay down those taken off the pack till tho dealer takes up tho bottom cards. Again, too many will do what is more awkward hold the entire pack in their hand for you to cut. By persons, always observing the habit of cutting from them I. c, placing those taken from top of pack nearer the dealer lie (dealer) may then be looking off or talking to any one nt the time, und not know (whether he saw you or not) which cards go on top of the pack. This apparently smull mat ter of cutting occasions more awkward ness thnn little. Fourth, It Is essential to an Intelli gent game that each player may Judge from the plays what each party holds in Ids hand, that everyone should ploy hi turn. All cannot sec who plays thin and wl'io plays that when cards aro thrown down Irregularly. Again, tha adversary may judge from your play what he should play, and you don't give him this advantage if you wait till your turn, when your turn Is after him. Fifth. Spitting on the thumb In deal ing cards Is entirely unnecessary, as the cards aro glassed and slip easier without. Ho tills nasty habit that sticks up and spoils many 11 pack of cards may as well bo dispensed with. Sixth, In playing always throw down the curd and tuko your hand off, Tho habit many hnvo of putting the card down with hand over the face, and then gathering up tho trick (without taking hand off), makes It impossible for others to see what ho plays. This ono habit causes more questions than a little. Seventh, When your partner takes 0 trick don't be Iu so much of hurry tc have him pick It up as to shove the cards towards him. You frequently an noy by knocking the curds out of his hand as he is gathering thorn up. Eighth. Don't get In the way of hammering the tabic with a puck of cards. It is unnecessary, and wears out tho cards. Ninth. According to all authorities in cutting before dealing, the trump card should be left turned up till the first trick is played. This obviates the necessity of peoplo continually asking. "What aro trumps?" There is always u right way as well' as a wrong way to do things; and fre quently the right way Is caster as in above case than the other, Nothing like a good habit. .w A liAiiSBfrfeo,!
