In america whatever Immortality Sehenck
may have attained will be associated with
the Emma mine swindle, with nothing to re-
deem 1t; but in England fate has been kinder
to him. There he will be remembered as the
kindly humanitarian who first taught cock
neydom the beautiful and aluring mysteries
of the "Mellican game" Of draw poker. This
game has taken the place OF whist at the
clubs, at evening parties, and in fact enjoys
popularity no game at cards ever before had.
writer in the London Truth has long arti-
Gle ON the game which be winds up with the
following very remarkable story Of poker
playing on the Mississippi steamboats,,
which, 1t is needless to observe, hasn't word
of truth In IL:
In America the only limit TO the bets Is the
amount Of ready money that may be In the
pocket Of the player. Thus, Ii a person with
the worst hand among the party produces O
thousand dollars and offers TO bet them, while
no one else has this sum about him, the capt.
talist would win all that has previously been
staked without having to show his hand. On
the Mississippi steamboats, professional gam
blers used TO win In this manner by the simple
expedient Of having larger amounts In their
pockets. -Four or five years ago, some gam
blers on one OF these boats sat down to play
with q singularly guileless young man.
Several thousand dollars had already been
staked, and then one Of the gamblers pulled
out $4,000 and offered to bet them.
Put them on the table," said the guileless
youth, and he then slowly produced q
vast pile Of notes from his pocket, adding,
II see the $4,000 of the gentleman, and
go 100000 better" AS the gamblers did
not possess 100000, he became Che possessor
OF the $4,000. The gamblers were aghast
asked him whether he habitually carried
about with him such enormous sums. Ere
quently," he said; II am clerk OF New
Orleans bank, and carry notes up to the
branch banks" In vain the gamblers COM
planned that he was playing with money
which did not belong to him. The guileless
youth pertinent1y remarked that this was a
matter that alone regarded the directors Of
the bank. In England, where poker 10 played
rather for amusement than as @ convenient
speculation, It Is usual TO limit the amount
by which any bet can be raised, or TO limit
the total amount which can be staked upon
any hand. Thus, If the ante Is one counter,
the limit that can be bet upon hand would
be about twenty counters, and the counters
may represent pence, shillings or pounds, as
suits the purses of the players.

The Liver is the imperial organ of
the whole human system, as it controls
the life, health and happiness OF man.
When it is disturbed in its proper ac-
ton, all kinds of ailments are the nat
ural result. The digestion of food, the
movements of the heart and blood, the
action of the brain and nervous system,
are all Immediately connected withthe
workings of the Liver. 1t has been
successfully proved that Green's Aug

persons afflicted with Dyspepsia or
Liver Complaint, and all the numerous
symptoms that result from all unheal-

Everyone should endeavor to aid
and encourage home production. The
plan of sending the money out of the
country for wagons, buggies, sash,
doors, and other articles which are
Manufactured here is a most destruc-
tive one to home mechanics. Even if
the cost is a trifle more for home made
article, the fact that the local manu-
facturer purchases the products of the
farm, and thus aids the producer, is
an important consideration.
About camp meetings the "Metho-
dist" discourses thus: "The camp
meeting season begins this year with
the modern characteristics more prom
Using than ever before. Every great
camp is a place of rest and recreation /;
the Sunday school assemblies and con-
sultative conferences fill the chief
places in the programmes; and Paul,
Apollas, and Cephas are advertised 10
be present and participate in the
preaching match. The grounds are
provided with means of boating, cro-
quet playing and other amusements
sweet, pure air, etc., etc., are sold
cheap. All these features are, per-
haps, really good. We do not judge
and condemn, but only describe. The
transformation of the camp meeting
is nearly complete. We hope the mod
ern characteristics, more prominent
than ever before, of keeping open the
gates and taking gate fees on the Sab
bath, and the encouragement given to
railways to run Sunday trains, may
be less prominent hereafter" -

TO Avoid Sunstrokes,

An exchange says:-Sunstroke is
caused by excessive heat, and especial
ly if the weather is "muggy." 1t is
more apt to occur or the second, third,
or fourth day of a heated term than on
the first. Loss Of sleep, worry, excite
ment, close sleeping rooms, debility,
abuse of stimulants, predispose it. 1t
is more apt to attack those working in
the sun, and especially between the
hours of IL o'clock in the morning and
4 O'Clock in the afternoon. On hot days
wear thin clothing. Have as cool sleep
ing rooms as possible. Avoid loss of
sleep and all unnecessary fatigue. If
working indoors, and where there is
artificial heat, laundries, etc., see that
the room is well ventilated. If work
ing in the sun, wear a light hat (not
black, as it absorbs heat,) straw, etc.,
and put inside of it, on the head, a wet
cloth or a large green leaf; frequently
lift the hat from the head and see that
the cloth is wet. Do not check perspir-
alton, but drink what water you need
to keep it up, as perspiration prevents
the body from being overheated. Have,
whenever possible, an additional shade,
as a thin umbrella when walking, a
canvass or board cover when working
in the sun. When much fatigued, do
not go to work, but be excused from
work, especially after IL o'clock in the
morning on very hot days, if the work
is in the sun. If a feeling of fatigue,
dizziness, headache, or exhaustion oc-
ours, cease work Immediately, lie down
in shady cool place; apply cold cloths
to and pour cold water over head and
neck. If anyis overcome with the heat
send Immediately for the nearest good
physician. While waiting for the ply
stefan, give the person cool drinks of
water, or cold black tea, or cold coffee,
if able to swallow. If the skin is hot
and dry, sponge with, or pour cold wa
ter owe the body and limbs, and apply
to the head pounded ice wrapped in a
towel or other cloth. If there is no ice
at hand keep a cold cloth on the head,
and pour cold water on it as well as on
the body. If the person is pale, very
faint, and pulse feeble let him inhale
ammonia for flew seconds, Or give him
a ~teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of am
monia in two tablespoonfuls of water
with a little sugar.

What the General Said !

A noted General being asked by some of his
friends how he liked Texas, replied: "IfI was OBJ
liged to choose between He'll and Texas, I would
choose the former" The above say ing is verified
every day by parties moving from the North,
East and South, and as they cannot decide exact
ly as to the existence of the former, they certainly
avoid Texas, and like s~enaible, Industrious people
seek a productive country, such as Missouri, Kan
sas, Colorado, Nebraska and the Far West. Read
er, are you contemplating a trip to such a country
on business or pleasure? If so, select the line

modations. The Old Reliable Hannibal q ST. JOS

Newspaper Living.

Some people have an idea that news
papers will lie. Others are so wise
that they will only believe a newspa-
per report when they think it would
be easier for the paper to tell the truth
than to tell a lie. Others think it the
evidence of flashing wit to reject with
a derisive laugh any evidence for au-
thority which comes from s'the papers,"
To such an extent has this ~thoughtless
judgment ofthe press been carried, that
much of its sphere of usefulness has
been circumscribed. 1t is true there
must be some occasion for this wide
spread impression-"there must be
some fire where there is so much
smoke;" yet how many men can show
a record for correctness, accuracy and
truthfulness, that will at once compare
with the average newspaper? The ed
itor gathers his news from a thousand
sources, from acquaintance and strang-
ers, from letters and papers. He Sits
and culls, hunts and details, and en-
deavors to get ''the straight" of every
story he publishes, for it goes to the
world over his own name, and he
knows that in a great measure he will
be held responsible. The private midi
vidual hears a piece of gossip, listens
carelessly, tells it to another with equal
carelessness, and if called upon for de-
tails, in nine cases out of ten cannot
give enough of them to make an intel
ligent item for a paper. "Writing
makes an exact man." says Lord Ba-
con; the newspaper v~erifies the truth
of the statement. Let any n who
doubts this sit down and put on paper
some piece of gossip, with the purpose
of having it printed over his own name,
and he will see in a moment how little
he knows about a matter he thought
himself familiar with. And he will
wonder, not that the newspaper should
contain occasional inaccuracies and
misstatements, but that it contains sc
few. And his wonders will be won.
derfully increased when he remembers
that the editor has to depend for much
of what he publishes on the common
run of mankind, and you know how
unreliable such information often is.
