Naw York San; "Hearts,” the little
game that was introduced into high so
ciety a few years ago, is likely to become
as much the rage, they say, as progres
sive euchre has been for a season or two
past. The game seems to be all right,
and fully as pleasant as the older one of
euchre, not to speak of Us being easier
for a greenhorn to pick up. There al
ways were one or two at a progressive
euchre party who did not know the
game, and hadn’t more than begun to
learn it when the bell rang time for the
last round. This greatly interfered with
the celerity of play that was essential to
make a progressive euchre party lively,
and was a constant annoyance to good
players. There will bo no such trouble
with hearts, for its rules are so simple
that any one with any knowledge at all
of cards can pick them up in a lew min
utes. At the same time there is room in
the game lor the exercise of the faculties
of memory and judgment essential to a
good whist player. The more one knows
about it the better one plays, but to be
able to play well enough to keep up with
the procession and avoid delaying the
games, it is not essential to have any ex
pert knowledge.
There are (our players in each game,
but no partners, a (act that simplifies it
greatly. The (ail pack ol fifty-two cards
(no joker) is dealt at once, and the cards
rank from ace. high, to duce, low. The
deal is determined by throwing a card to
each player, the lowest dealing. The
player at the dealer’s left leads, and the
others play in rotation, following suit if
they can, throwing away if they have
none of the auit lea. The highest card of
the auit led takes the trick, and the win
ner of one trick leads for the next.
The object of each player ia to avoid
taking any trick that has a heart in it,
and. of coarse, to compel some one else
to take tricks into which liearts have been
thrown. The result ia a sort of reversal
of whlat, with hearts perpetually trumps.
Of course the highest cards are the most
dangerous, for they are the moot likely to
take tricks, and the fewer tricks one takes
the less chance of hearts. Hearts, also,
are things despised, to get rid of as rapid
ly as possible. It is a good thing, in a
general way, to get rid of all cants of one
suit early in the play, because then one
can avoid having to follow suit, pdhaps,
and have a chance to throw away a
heart, and in various other matters the
rules and customs that have become in
stinct with whist are reversed in hearts.
When all the carda have been played
each player looks over hie tricks and for
each heart card, if any in them, be puta
one counter into a pool. Where two or
more players have escaped taking any
hearts, the pool is divided among them,
and if ail the players have taken liearts
the pool stands and is joined to that for
the next round. Aside from these gen
eral principles the rules of whist govern
the game, with some few exceptions, such
as the following: •
If a card is exposed during the deal,
the dealer must deal over again. But if
the exposed card belongs to the dealer a
fresh deal does not ensue.
If a misdeal occurs the dealer must deal
over again. (In the cane of a misdeal,
the deal does not pass to the eldest band
as at whist. There is no advantage in
having the lead. Therefore the dealer
most not deprive an innocent player of
the privilege of the lead.)
A card exposed in Uie course of a play
cannot be "called,” as in whist.
(At whist, by exposing his card or
cards, s player gives knowledge to his
partner, and hence the rale that such
may be called for and most be played.
In the game of hearts each player la
playing for himaeif alone, and haa no
partner to whom information can be
conveyed. Therefore, the stringent rule
of whist cannot be extended when no
reason for the rale exists.)
1a ease of n revoke the delinquent
must pay into the pool as many counters
as the pool then contains, if any, and the
thirteen counters additional.
A revoking player cannot win anything
in the round in which the revoke occur
red ; bat after the penalty baa been paid,
the entire pool ia divided at once among
the player*.
Any playur has the right to look at tba
last trick turned.
Every trick must be gathered and
turned before a card can be lead for the
next trick.
The game can also be played fl re
handed and six-handed by rejecting from
the pack enough small cards of other
suits than hearts to make the cards divide
evenly among ell the players. There is
also a jack-pot attachment sometimes
played at hearts. The pot is started with
s contribution of one counter from each
player. At tbe end ot the round, if more
than one player bee escaped taking
hearts, the odd counter left in tbe division
of tbe pool, which ordinarily goes to tbe
winning player nearest the dealer’s left,
is pot into tbe jsek-pot. With each deal
each player odds another counter to tbe
jack-pot, and this continues until some
player takes no trick atoll in a round,
when the jack pot is awarded to him.
The adaptation of the game to parlor
use for a large party can ba readily
accomplished in a variety of ways. All
that ia necessary ia to get In tbe progres
siva feature, so that the winner or winners
atone table proceed to tbe next Play
may ba continued at each table until tlie
round enda at the first one, and the
bands then may be laid down and the
counting done, or play may be by com
plete rounds at each table. The first will
probably prove the more popular way.
One or two manuals of the game have
been issued, but they differ as to details,
and every one can devise a system for
himself of making the game progressive,
and also of scoring, whether by games or
by total of points, which, explained be
fore play Uftrins, will do as well as any
fiqed rules. The simplest way of scoring
is probably to count one for the highest
player at each table each time a change
of table is made. Prises are given, of
course, to the highest and second highest
players, and to the booby, separate prises
for the ladies and for the men, just as in
progressive euchre.

Frequently time and circumstances are
wanted before an invention is appreciated;
but it will be seen that patience is well
rewarded, for the inventor of roller skates
made $1,000,000, notwithstanding the fact
that his patent hod nearly expired before
their value wae ascertained.
The gimlet pointed screw has produced
more wealth than most silver mines, and

That favorite American toy, the “return
ball”—a wooden ball with an elastic at*
tached—yielded the patentee an income
equal to $60,000 a year, and an income of
not lees than $76,000 per annum to the
inventor of the “dancing Jim Crow.’’
The inventor of the “Pharoah’s serpents,’’
a toy much in vogue some years ago, was
the outcome of some chemical experi
ments, and brought the inventor more
than $50,000.
The sale of the little wooden figure
“John Gilpin’’ was incredibly large for
many years, and a very ingenins toy
known as the “wheel of life,’’ is said to
have produced upward of $600,000 profits
to the inventor.

In a paper contributed to science Gen
eral M. C. Meigs calculates, upon the
psst ratio of increase, that in 1990 the
“possible” population of the United
States will be 1,292,357.000. Of this
enormous prospective population ho esti
mates the inhabitants of African descent
at 85,957,000, or one to every fourteen
whites.
As the whole area of the states and
territories, including water surface of
lakes and rivers, is nearly 4,000,000 square
miles, the figures of General Meigs would
323 inhabitants to every square mile in
in the United States in 1990. This is a
greater areal population than that which
is contained in any country in the world
at the present day except little Belgium,
the inhabitants of which number 481 to
the square mile. Even hoary India has
only 811 inhabitants to the square mile,
and for every square mile in the teeming
Chinese empire there are only 84 Inhab
itants.
But experience has shown that beyond
amusing the speculator in theories such
calculations have little value. Except in
stationary and half-civilised countries,
like India and China, rational tendencies
are constantly operating to prevent an
excess of population from encroaching on
the means of living. The early growth
of a new country, such as the United
States or Australia, affords no criterion
for estimating its population a century or
a half-century hence.
There are vast and fertile regions in
Africa, South America and other parts of
the earth that are yet unpeopled; and
the means of distributing surplus popula
tion are rapidly increasing. Long before
1990 the people of the United States may
be stirred by the same impulse of emigra
tion that tends to arrest the growth of
population in most of the countries of
Europe.
