A Gambling Family.

All of the brothers Fox-Charles,
James and Stephen-were desperate
gamblers. Charles Fox played admir-
ably at whist and piquet-with such
skill, that at Brooke's, along about
1772, it was generally admitted he
might have made "a 900 year, as
they calculated, at those games, ii he
had confined himself to them. But his
misfortune arose from playing pure
games Of chance, particularly faro.
After eating and drinking freely, he
sat down a. the faro table, and invaria-
bly, rose loser Once, and only once,
he won about Is, 600 i'm the course of a
single evening. Part Of the money he
paid away to his creditors, and the
other he lost almost Immediately. Be-
fore he had attained his thirtieth year
he had completely dissipated every
thing he commanded or could procure
by the most ruinous expedients. Top
ham Beauelerc, who lived much In
Fox's society, affirmed that no man
could form an idea of the extremities
to which he has been put to raise
money after losing his last guinea at
the faro table. He was reduced, for
several days to such distress, as to bor-
row money from the club walters. Ths
very chairmen who carried him to
Brooks's he was unable to pay and
they used to dun him fo- their arrears.
In III he might be considered All ex-

A Green Hand.

One of the plumbing establishments
of Danbury took new jour the other
day. He was from a hamlet over in
New York State, a little hamlet where
he had worked with his father. The
day after his arrival there was a burst
in the water pipe of house on Pine
street. He was told to go over there
and attend to it.
Seeing the owner of the house in the
shop, he went up to him and got the
particulars of the break, and then he
made ready his tools and started.
Just as he was passing out of the
door the proprietor saw him.
"Where are you going?' he almost
screamed.
The new man told him.
''Do you mean to tell me that you
are going up there to fix that pipe
without examining it?" he gasped.
why am going to look at it when
| get there" said the new man.
"Merclful heavens"' calculated his
employer catching hold of his desk to
support himself. "Can it be possible
hat you would do Job at one visit.
Don't you know your trade any better
than that? Have you no pride in your
business? Why you'd ruin the entire
community in less than year." And
the speaker burst into tears.
As soon as he grew calmer he ex.
planned to the new man that he should
first visit the house, make a thorough
examination OF the building, get the
lay of the street, find the location OF
the nearest hydrant, go up to the roof
of the house, and then return thought
fully to the shop for his tools, keeping
an accurate record of the time.

Plague Precautions.

The plague fright at Berlin has recalled
the extraordinary precautions taken during
the cholera epidemic of 1881. A cord was
drawn in front of houses supposed to be
infected. The keys were given to police
agent, who three or four times day went
to see what the inmates wanted He then
placed what he brought them on a table
outside, near the door. The money was
put into a glass full of vinegar, and the
agent took it out with spoon. The paper
on which the commissions were written
down he took up with pincers. When a
sick person was taken to the hospital a
police agent preceded the vehicle with a
bell, and two soldiers kept every one away
from the sick person. The doctors wore
cloaks and masks of oil-cloth. The skin of
dogs and cats being deemed particularly
favorable to the dissemination of the dis
ease, persons were recommended TO kill
them, except where they were positively
necessary. For months the inhabitants
lived in trepidation, and an old lady actu-
ally hanged herself for fear of the cholera
reaching her. The precautions gradually
became matters for ridicule.

make the American men, as an aver
age, more chivalrous than he was at
the former period. And yet he pays
less respect to unknown wOmanhood.
whyf
Simply because the American wom-
an, petted beyond any of her sisters in
the other parts of the world, has taken
in something too much of belief in the
goddess ship ascribed to her by her
male admirers. 1t has became some
thing of a habit with her, to receive
the courtesies extended, as a matter of
course. She does not meet those cour-
tesies with enough of her own, so
easily extended, and so valued by any
one who will take tn trouble to be
chivalrous towards her. She takes,
somewhat too much as matter of
course, the seat given her in car, stage
or public assembly; and she takes il
most Of the time, without evidencing
any appreciation of the fact, that tho
gentleman making room for her, OF in
any other way smoothing her path to
one of comfort, makes any sacrifice in
so doing.
He does make a sacrifice, very often
"a sacrifice that he would be very slow
to make, except to the representative
of the beautiful sex from whence came
his mother. his sister, his wife. He
may be sixty and gray haired; or he
may be thoroughly wearied after
day of intense toll !; and when he leaves
his seat in car or coach. or performs
any other of the kindly offices due from
manhood to womanhOod he is very
likely to be making sacrifice, and TO
do so in the hope, at least, that some
kind word, some pleasant smile, or at
least a nod of appreciation, may reward
him for it; and if, year after year, he
| finds that his kindness Is merely receIv-
ed as a matter of course. he will prove
himself quite removed from the line of
ordinary manhood, if he does not cool
in his chivalry and resolve to keep what
seems to be worth so little to the person
accepting il.
Women af America, We have clear
ly stated our conviction that you are,
as race, the loveliest on earth. We
have, later, clearly stated our kuowl-
edge that gradually the males of your
race, the most chivalrOus on the globe,
have tired of paying you the extreme
devotion once accorded. Now we
state the concluding fact, that tho fault
is your own. You hold yourselves too
high, even if not higher than your hus-
bands and lovers held you at the be-
ginning. Help the men of America to
keep their old statutes, by receiving
their cOurtcsies with somewhat fewer
of the airs of the throned queen, some
what more of the grace and graceful
words and actions of womanhood.
Your treatment cannot be otherwise
than good, except under the most un-
/ fortunate circumstances let your con-
duct deserve that and more, and you
will be the loveliest as well as the
most beautiful.-Onr Second Century.

which every man can do better than
any one else:
Poke a fire.
Put on his own hat.
Edit a newspaper.

Examine a railroad time table.
Did you never notice that if you
open railroad guide and begin to look
for some particular train. that some Of
ficious man in the crowd will spring
up and lay his great thumb right over
the column your train is in, and try to
find you the night express on the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, by
roaming up and down column head
ell accommodation in the Illinois
Central side of the page. And you
can't bluff him off either. A few days
ago, quiet looking MN on the Wa
bash railroad called the train boy and
asked him for railroad guide for a
moment. Then he began to examine
the columns, and very busy-loOking
man behind him leaned over the seat
and said:
"What train are you looking for?
Where do want to go? l can find it
for you il your not much accustomed
to this sort of thing.
The stranger thanked him and said
he was looking up some of the connec-
tions OF the Wabash Railroad, and he
guessed he could find what he wanted
The busy man Immediately took hold
Of the guide and pulled it away from
him.
you'll never find it looking that
wav," he said; ''now, tell me where
you want to go. know nearly all the
connections IF this road. / travel over
this line twice every sixty days"
After a vain effort to get his guide
book, the stranger reluctantly yielded,
and the busy man looked down the col
umn of ''ticket fares" and ascertained
that the strangers train reached Dan
vile at s4.16, and then he looked down
the column Of distances and discovered
that the connecting train for Vim
cennes left at 65Sl. Then he handed
the guide back to the stranger, and
leaned back in his seat with the air of
christian, unselfish man, who had
at some trouble to himself, of course,
set bewildered wayfarer right. The
stranger thanked him quietly and with
every appearance of profound graft
tude.
"Oh," said the man loftily, "that's
all right; these railroad guides are all
Greek to people who aint accustomed
to railroading."
By and by the stranger went into the
other coach, and the busy man, nOtict
ing the respectful demeanor of the
breakman as he passed out, called to
the employe and asked:
"Who is that man?'
..Mr. Ii. C. Townsend" said the
brakeman, "the general passenger and
ticket agent of this road"
And the busy man looked straight
out of the car window a long, long
time, and every time the train-boy
went by shouting RAILROAD guides y
he turned pale and shuddered.
