A French Betting Story.

An officer named Verdier was cele-
brated in his garrison for winning
all his bets. None of his comrads
could boast of ever having been
successful. ard SO at last no one cared
to bet with him. One day Verdier
was transferred to another regiment,
but the fame of his peculiar luck had
already spread before him. After q
supper rendered him by his comrads
on the ovelng of his arrival, when
champagne bad made its appearance,
Gen. B. called out:
SIS it really true. Verdier, that you
win every bet?'
Yes, General
But how the deuce do you do it?'
oh very simply. I am physiogno-
mist, and bet only when I'm quite
sure
You are a physiognomist? Well

With these words the General pro-
ceeded without more ado to divest
himself Of his coat and shirt, when
close scrutiny by all present revealed
the fact that there was no trace of a

Ammonia in the Kitchen.

The pantry-shelves are getting
grimy, or fnger-marks around the
door-latches and knobs are looking
dark and unsightly. For lack Of

A Dogs Application Of Money

The Quincy lIll.) Wing tells this
story "A few evenings since, while
u number of persons were chatting
in drug store, a gentleman came in
followed by small dog. While the
master was procuring some medi-
cine, the dog walked around the
store~room and finally picked up
something and ran to one of the
gentlemen and attracted attention
by scratching his clothing. The
man looked down and noticed that
the dog had piece of paper in his
mouth, but thought nothing more of
it. The dog, not satisfied, repeated
his apparent appeal, but not with
success, and then went to his owner,
who took the paper and saw II was a
$40 bank-note. The dog bad found

it was valuable. 1t subsequently
transpired that the money belonged
to Or. J. Z. Wilson. and it was re
turned to him. The dog was re
