just then q wagon drawn by a FESTIVE horse
rumbled by. Babin instinctively moved back
ward, thinking bis daughter was by his side,
had disappeared. 1t was evident that in back
ing out Of the horses way she had fallen into
a yaWning sewer which was Of great depth.
Cries Of help were heard for a moment, and
then ceased. The child had chung, doubtless,
to the edge Of the subterranean platform, and
had then been swept away by the force of
the current, which was swift and swollen.
The sWeepers who 1ocked around could
scarcely restrain Babin from jumping in af-
ter the child, who must have been instantly
drowned. The district fire brigade was sum
moned, and came Immediately, but too lale,
and the police commissary of the quarter
telegraphed to the oyerseers of sewers to watch
all the grazing between the Rue Hauteyille
and Asnieres. A fireman was lowered with
ropes into the sewer, and remained immersed
for twenty minutes. Others ran along the
platform to explore, but unavailingly. The
poor child's body has not been caught. by
any Of the gratings, and may already be de-
voured by rats. It appears that on the day
this tragedy occurred three ladies in different
parts of Paris narrowly escaped falling into
the sewers, the traps Of which, when opened,
are rarely, if ever, guarded by men charged
to keep off the unwary.

Beating Faro by ''Science.s'

a System which will beat faro has not
exactly been discovered il Louisville, but a
system which beat 't104" out Of several
hundred dollars was perfected and operated,
it is said, Tuesday night by three young men
named Chester, Ullman and Brill, n~otentire]y
unknown to the green baize table fraternity.
The scheme is said to have been incubating
several weeks, and worked to a charm. Ches-
ter was employed at the place as lookout
while the others were outsiders. Getting
Chester into the scheme against the bank was
of course, half the battle. Tuesday night
Ullman and Brill entered and began to play,
Chester watching the game. After the first
box had been dealt a note was brought into
the dealer saying a girl wanted to see him
outside. He Was gone some time and in the
meantime a prepared deck of cards had been
placed In an extra box. The dealer, on re-
turning, shufHed his cards and put them in
his box ready to deal. One of the players
at this moment changed in" a $50 bill for
chips, and Chester, looking over the dealers
shoulder said, s'that bill looks bad" The
dealer held it up close to him for scrutiny
and in a twinkling Chester had slipped the
sdoctored' box in place Of the regular one,
which he put in his pocket. The bill was de-
cided to be good and the game proceeded.
Chester concluded to play also at this juno
ture. The players at once began to copper
and bet straight in winning. They were ca
ger and hungry and won so regularly and
Sdubled" with such persistency that on the
fifth turn the dealer suspected something and
opened the box. He discovered that the
cards had been changed, and at once closed
the game, though he cashed the losings. The
keen ones had gathered in several hundred,
and might have won the house and lot if they
had snursed' and not been so Wolfsh to win.
Il was said they had been laying two wires
for the play q long time. Last night the
dealer met Brill in q we'll known billiard sa-
loon, and, although he had made no skick''
when the scheme was worked said something
about it. Brill replied and . fight ensued, in
which Brill was badly used up. The dealer
was taken to the lookup.

ONE OF the most convenient articles
o be used in a sick-room is sand
bag. Get some clean, fine sand, dry
1t til thoroughly In kattle on the stove !;
make bag about eight inches square
of flannel, fill it With the dry sand,
sew the opening carefully together,
and cover the bag with cotton or linen
cloth. This will prevent the saud
from sitting out, and " i'll also enable
ycu to heat the bag quickly by placin e
1t In the oven, or even on top of the
stove. After once using this
you will never again attempt to
warm the feet or hanus Of sick per-
son with bottle Of hot water or a
brick. The'sand holds the heat long
time; and the bag can be tucked up
the back without hurting the invalid.
1t Is good plan to make two or three
of the bags and keep them ready for
use.
