CHAPTER IN.
Women and Gamblers,

II is IN old story that women often
try their luck on Wall street. They
shouldn't, of course, but they do. And,
as rule, they fare just us other inno-
cents do-comc out shorn. The new
style Of gambling down there, the kind
carried on in what the regular brokers
call bucket shops" is the favorite with
tic fair SEX. 1t looks so like 4 sure
thing that they are very easily caught
ty it. A bucket shop" is II place
where YOU can speculate on il margin ms
low rs five dollars. There's pool Of
twenty or thirty, all unknown to each
other, perhaps, and the broker operates
for al! and divides the profit, if there is
any, pro rata, His own commission Is
the only sure thing in the scheme. A
woman who gave S400 to one OF the
bucket shop men some time ago, to make
Il fortune for her, yanked him into court
the otlcr day to give an account OF his
stewardship. When she called for the
fortune, he presented sheet of paper
covered all over with figures, and the
only thing she could make out was that
her money was all gone and she was in
the brokers' debt. Her first impulse
was 10 murder him with Il five dollar
sun umbrella, but she restrained herself,
us women always do in such cases, and
got Il l,twyerto collar him instead. That
looks very much like jumping from. the
frying pan into the fire, but she said
she was bound to get satisfaction, even
if it cost her another $500. The oldest
case of female stock gambling | know of
is that of IN uptown woman, who per-
suaded broker Of her acquaintance TO
buy her 100 shares of Lake Shore on a
five per cent margin. That is, she gave
him $500 TO carry the stock with. He
advised her 10 let it alone, but she in
sisted and he bought tue stock. Instead
of going up the Internal thing went down,
and WIS finally sold at II loss of $500.
And what do you suppose the broker
did !? Why, he went and handed the
woman back her $500 and stood the
wl!o,c Joss himself. That's the sor: OF
broker | should like to patronlzc, put
perhaps he wouldn't be so otf-handed
with me as he was with a handsome and
decidedly stylish woman, young enough
to have mischief in her eyes. .-NcD lor6

a Difficult Task Made Easy,

The "homc and society" department
of S,ibner contains paper on "domes-
tic nursing" by a trained nurse, from
which we quote this practical piece of
advice:
Nothing is more easy to an expert
enccd nurse or more difficult to an in
experienced one than to change the bed
linen with a person in bed. Every
thing that will be required must be at
hand, properly aired, before beginning.
Move the patient rs far rs possible to one
side of The bed, and remove all but one
pillow. Untuck the lower sheet and
cross sheet and push them toward the
middle of the bed. Have Il sheet ready
folded OF rolled the wrong way. and lay
it on the mattress, unfolding it enough
to tuck it in at the side. Have the cross
sheet prepared as described before, and
roll it also, laying it over the under one
and tucking it in, keeping the unused
portion of both still rolled. Move the
patient overto the side thus prepared for
him. the soilcd sheets can then be drawn
away. the clean ones completely unro!Ied
and tucked in on the other side. Tho
coverings need rot be removed while
this is being done; they cln be pulled

CuriOuS Phenomenon.

1T the Cape Of Good Hope, near Table
mountain, the clouds come down very
low now and then without dropping in
rain. At such n time, if n traveller
should 90 unde: 3 tree for shelter from
the threatening storm, he would find
himself in Il drenching shower; while
out in the open space, away from any
tree or shrub, everything would be as
dry as bone. lIereis the explanation
The cloud or mist is rather warmer than
the leaves: ani so, when it touches
them. it changes into clinging drops
which look like dew. Fresh drops keep
forming, they run together, and al
length the water drips off the leaves
like rain. And this process goes on un'
til the clouds lift and the sun comes
out again.

What lie Was Fishing For.

The other lay the IIarhor Master came
across stranger on he wharf at the
foot Of Randolph street, fishing with a
cotton string to which was attached y
hook made of stove-pipe wire and baited
with an apple core.
DO you expect to catch any fish with
such = tackle rs tllat?" inquired tho Of
fetal.
NO, sir" was heprompt reply.
Are you fishing for bitGS?"
NO. sir"
"Fishing 70, fun?"
"No, sir.'
The nettled Harbor Master was about
to tell the calm-minded stranger to fish
away and behanged TO him, when he
carefully lifted his hook out of water
and said:

Cautions In Eating.

l. Of course, don't eat too much. The
digestive fluids are limited in quantity.
All above enough is undigestcd, irri-
tating and weakening the system, and
often cruising paralysis of the brain by
drawing OH the nervous force more
rapidly than it is generated.
2. Don't eat between meals. The
stomach must resi-, or it will sooner or
later break down. Even the heart has
to rest between the beats.
3. Don't eat full meal when ex-
haustcd. The stomach is rs weak as
the rest Of the body.
/. Don't nike lunch at noon. and eat
heartily at night. The whole digestive
system neets TO share in the rest and re-
cuperativn of sleep. Besides, the tend
ency is to put full meal into a weak
encd stomach.
5. Don't substitute stimulus for food
like many women who do half q days
work on strong coffee or ten. AS well,
in the case of horse, substitute the
whip for oats.
6. Don't have q daily monotony OF
dishes. Variety is necessary for relish,
and relish is necessary to good dises-
ton.
T. Don't eat blindly. There can be
nothing in the body-musclcs, mem
branes, bones, nerves. brain-wllich is
not in our food. One article furnishes
one or more elements, and another
Others. We could starve on fine flour.
Some articles do not nourish but only
warm.
S. Eat according to the season-one-
third less in summer than in winter. In
the latter season, fat meat, sugar and
starch are appropriate, as being heat
makers; in tho former, milk, vegetables
and every variety of ripe fruit.
9. Eat with cheer. Cheer promotes
digestion; care, fret and passion arrest
il. Lively chat, ,racy anecdotes and in
nocent gossip. are better than Halford
saucc. Youths ConlpnniOn.

HENRY HARMS. A SUGAR REFINER FAuLs WITH LA
BILITIEs OVER 5000, 000-o1HER FAILURES.
Henry Harms, sugar retner at No. 81 Wall-st.,
suspended payment yesterday and made an assign
ment to H. X. Thurber. Mr. Harms sue
ceeded tho firm of Wintjen 81 Harms
in March last, and undertook to carry on
the business alone, but not having sufficient
capital, the trade anticipated that he would fail
unless he obtained q partner. He bought out
his partners interest. the basis generally being
understood to be $3SO,O0O, giving Mr.. Wintien
mortgage on the refinery in williamsburg which
cost SJ20,000, for 100000, aud chattel

The old firm of Wintien X Harms & CO.,
and Wntjen g. Harms had been IN business
many years and always enjoyed excellent credit. Ii
is Thought that the suspension will be only temper
ary as it is claimed that there are sufficient assets
to pay all obligations in full. The liab-
tiles are not known but are understood
to be from 100000 to ,S25O,OOO. OF
The assets consist of the refinery on Frstst.. be-
tween South Second and South Thrd-sts., Brook

and other real estate in Jersey City and Hoboken,
mortgaged for $50. 900, and accounts receivable.

The failure was unexpected, as the tirln had an
excellent credit, having been In business thirty
years, aud it is said having been lenders of money
only a few months ago. This firm had
large business with the South, shipping
groceries on order of ito correspondents and hand
iIrC cotton and Southern dried fruits. Their failure
was caused by losses cotton. The liabilities are
estimated at upward OF 100000. but Tie firm
would give no estimate until the accounts had been
