STOCKING CARDs-HoW THE UNso-
PHIsTIcATED ARE Observation-Disclosures
gamblers can stock Il pack of cards for al
most all games, which makes it very haZ-
ardous for novices, whose money is at
stake, to play with them. A noted pro-
fessional gambler having made a large
fortune at the game of uingt ct ata twenty
one), was finally detected in his mode of
stocking pack and robbing his victims,
which was d me in the following manner:
There being fifty-two cards in full deck,
consequently there are thirteen of each
suit, which when arranged by certain
words, forms stock that cannot be disar-
ranged by cutting the cards hundred
times. 1t is done by the following key ::
Eight kings, three tens, to save nine fair
ladies for one sick knave. After the cards
have been cut mot shuffied) as many times
as is desirable, see the bottom card and
take that for the starting point, then the
whole pack can be called off from the top
without making single mistake The
trick above exposed is beyond ordinary
comprehension and well calculated to lure
young men to certain ruin.

's'NHE ONLY WAY TO MAKE PIES ac-
eording ito Mary E. Wager, is detailed in
the ''Rural New Y orker" thus
While Visiting a friend, last summer,
she remarked to her mother, at dinner one
day, as dessert was being served, that our
guest did not eat pie. The mother gave
little nod with her head, which was full of
significance, and said, ''Well, when she
sees some of my pies, she will both eat and
like them too" In due time the pies be-
gan to appear-pies OF apple, and pies of
peaches-and the mothers prediction
proved true. The pies were delicious, and
quite free from the ordinary objections
urged by hygienists and psychologists
against pastry. They were made in this
way: A deep dish, from two to three inches
in depth, was filed with the fruit, pared;
and, if apples, they were cored, and cut in
dozen slices, perhaps, with the requisite
addition Of sugar, spices and water. No
under-crust. The top crust, thin and
flaky, came from the oven, light and crisp,
and free from sogginess. 1t retained in
the fruit all flavor, and the peculiar de-
lieiousness which escapes when cooked I'M
covered. In serving it, a knife was used
to divide the pie in portions, as is ordin-
ari1y done, and, with spoon, the fruit
removed from the pie-dish to the dessert
plate, where it formed an odorous and
amber-like pile by the triangular piece of
crust near it. The memory of these pies
remains like sweet fragrance.

was told that was wrong have since used
tannin and other astringents.
Reply.-Wind gals are only symptom
of inflammation of the membrane which
covers the sinews of the leg, in conse-
quence Of which there is an excessive Sc
erection of serum that gathers in the tu-
mors. The only probable effective treat
ment is absolute rest, and the application
OF cold water bandages with pressure upon
the parts, OF the use of iodine ointment.
Cure is questionable in any east, although
the lameness may be removed but when
tie horse is worked again the swelling will
reappear. They are caused by strains or
oyerwork, or are inherited.
