Gaming in France.

A love of gaming still RACES in
France. No longer inspired by the
craving for emotion, a yearning for the
nervous shock of chance adventure,
whether produced by loss or gain, by
which the sluggish, overworked mind
can only be aroused from its torpor,
gaming has now become nothing more
than cold and subtle speculation,
entered into by people who study the
character of the adversary beforehand,
in order to make sure Of the method
by which he may best be thrown of his
guard, and watch their opportunity OF
winning his money without suspicion.
Public gambling houses have all been
closed; but fortunes still continue to
be lost-men still continue to stake
their inheritance upon the issue OF
games quite az puerile and just as
ruinous as those that are forbidden.
The play at the Paris clubs and the
watering-places throughout the whole
of France has simply grown into an
organized system of despeilment. The
renewal of the scandal caused by the
forgery of the club counters by the
Prince De Berg many years ago has
startled some of the authorities into an
examination of the abuses of these
private 1ip0ts, which are gradually
furnishing the greater part of the days
amusement at every casino in exist
ence. The fashionable individual who
was detected, only week or two ago,
in passing the forged counters at the
Cercle at Luchon. is coolly spoken of
not as the only one who has committed
the like frand, but the only one sun
detected " in its execution.

Common Sense IN Advertising.


A model advertisement is designed
to satisfy the rational demand of a
probable customer to know what you
have got to sell. The successful adver-
tiser, therefore, observes three rules:
First, he aims to furnish the informa-
ton which the public wants; second,
he aims to reach that part of the pub
lie whose wants he Is prepared to satisfy
and third, he endeavors to make his
information rs easy Of acquisition by
the public RS possible.
The commonest and handiest thing
in the American family is the news
paper, and as nearly all shopping pro-
ceeds from the family, from Its needs,
Its intelligence, its tastes, its fashions,
it follows that the thoughtful and sue
cessful advertiser approaches tho family
by this means. lie does not waste his
time in loading his advertising gun and
shooting it of skyward i'll the streets,
at all creation, on the chance that some
willing Customer may DO going that
contrary, he takes account Of the adver
tisiDg ammunition which he has on
hand, and loads and points his gun
through tho columns Of some reputable
newspaper at the game he wants to hit.
Besides, knowing that newspapers
are the best means Of ADVERTISING and
how to pick out tho best newspapers
for His purpose, the successful adver-
tiser fully appreciates the importance
OF persistent advertising. Mr.. Bryant

Food for Fattening Fowls.

The best food for fattening poultry
is sweet, fresh oatmeal or barley meal,
mixed either with scalding milk or
water. Cooped fowls should be sup.
piled with fresh food three times day
namely, at daybreak, or as soon after
as possible, ut midday, and again at
roosting- time; rs much as they can eat
should be given to the fowls on each
occasion, but no more than can be de-
voured by the next meal; should any
be left, it should be removed. and given
to the other fowls, as, if kept, it is apt
to become sour, when the birds will
not eat it freely.
In addition to soft food, q supply of
fresh, clean water must be constantly
present, and little gravel must be
given daily, otherwise the grinding
action of the gizzard, which is necessary
to the due digestion of food, does not
go on satisfactorily; the supply of
little green food will be found very ad-
vantageous to health; little sliced
cabbage, or some turnip tops, or green
turf to pick at occasionally, being all
that is required.
A variation in the diet will be found
very conducive to an increased appe-
tite, and therefore the occasional sub
stitution of feed of boiled barley for
the slaked oatmeal is desirable. Some
feeders have divisions in their troughs,
or, still better, small extra trough,
which always contains some grains for
the fowls to peck at.
Should the birds be required very
fat, some mutton suet or trimmings of
the loins may be chopped up and
scalded with the meal, or they may be
boiled in the milk or water preparatory
to its being poured over the food, and
tie fat of fowls so fattened will be found
exceedingly firm.
In the course of about fortnight to
three weeks at the utmost. fowl will
have attained. under this system of
feeding, the highest degree of fairness
of which 1t is capable, and it must then
be killed, for if the attempt be made to
keep it any Longer in that state it be-
comes diseased from an inf lmmatory
action being established which renders
the flesh hard and even unwholcsome.
When the fowls have arrived at lit
state for killing, they should be kept
for twelve or fifteen hours without food
or water, in order that the intestines
may be empty as possible, otherwise
the bird turns green and useless in u
short time.

y Birds sorrow.

The doves affection for its mate has
been the type of consistency and conJu
gal love in the literature of centuries -
and there is ~ much truth as poetry in
it. An exchange tells this story of the
conduct of dove whose consort was
killed. \ year or SO ago, little girl
living near the line Of the Erie railway,
two miles from IAthbonviile. n. Y,
was presented with pair of doves.
They were IN the habit of flying about
in the vicinity:
One day. three weeks ago, they were
tying across the midway track. when
the male bird came into collision with
the smoke stack of the Pacific express
locomotive.
The bird was killed by the shock, and
instantly thrown out!of the sight of its
mate. The female circled about the
spot for II few minutes, in evident
amazement ut the sudden disappear
ance of her mate. She then flew to u
mile post near by, and for II long time
gave utterance TO the mournful notes
characteristic of the dove.
Sudlculy sle seemed to realize what
had carried the male from her sight,
and she rose in the air and flew swiftly
in the direction the train had gone.
She did not return until about noon.
She alighted at her cote, where she re-
NAMED the rest of the day, uttering
her plaintive cries.
Next morning, just before seven
o'clock, she was seen to fly away, and
take IL position On the mile-post near
the spot where she last saw her mate on
the day before. When the express
train came along she flew at the loco
motive, lowered about the smoke stack,
and around the cab, as if looking for
her mate.
She accompanied the locomotive for
a mile or so, and then returned to her
cote. Every day since then she has re-
peated this strange conduct. She goes
to her lookout for the train at precisely
the same time each morning, and waits
until the train comes along. no matter
how late it may be. She never goes
further than about mile with the train,
returning then to her cote, and mourn
ing riteously al day.
