THERE is vast difference IN chickens
and the treatment thereof, the difference
varying with the breed for hardness and
rapldity of growth. There are, perhaps,
no sturdier chicks than the Brahmas and
their crosses, and yet the pure bloods arc
delicate and long time in featkeIing. Where
one can handle diminutive birds there are
no harder chicks than the Leghorns, Games.
They feat her early. The first week Is the
only difficult period of their chickenhcod,
and, with proper care and food. they grow
rapidly, feather quickly, ami come to ma
turity earlier than any other variety. Two
breeds will never agree. lover and
breeder of Brahms fowls will never be
successful with the smaller birds. Size Is
looked for where 1t cannot exist. One
third Leghorn blood OF the Brahma makes
better sltters than either alone, but they
are only good for sitters.

have been over billion bushels. Just

IT rained pitchforks: The shower came
up, or rather it came down-a shower
never comes up-so unexpectedly that
nearly everybody was taken by surprise
and jefferson street was in a panic.
Young Masher, who never goes without
his umbrella, saw his opportunity and
sailing up to the prettiest girl with the
prettiest hat in all Burlington, made q
bow that is warranted to kill across the
street and said, ''A1ay offer you my

soaking in his loneliness, like pelican
in the wilderness and as weather vane

Some Facts About Baccarat.

In certain circles in New York bac-
carat has 10 some extent taken the place
of our great national game, poker, Bao.
carat is the faircst game that can be
played against bank. There is nozero
and double zero, rs in roulette, nor is
there the splits of faro. The banker
has absolutely nothing in his favor ex-
cept the guessing which his antagonist
has to constantly perform. There is
general belief that it is impossible to
cheat at baccarat, but this is quite mis-
take, although in clubs aud gambling
places the possibility of cheating is re-
duced to minimum by the use of cards
with monographs upon them. Baccarat
is played in New York clubs with four
packs Of cards, and before dealing these
packs are carefully shullled by the deal
or. When the play begins, the banker
gives one card to the right, one to the
left, and one to himself, and then he
repeats the operation; court cards and
tens count MS zero, and if in his two cards
he can get nine, he wins all the stakes
placed upon the cards given to theplay-
ers on the right and left.
The cheating bankerputs all the packs
before him, with the hacks to himself
and their faces to the players Suppose
that there is three facing the Players
the confederate notes this as the "bank-
err moves it to the top of the packs, and
so soon as six appears at the bottom of
the pack the confederate makes sign
10 bar ~ xx,hn NJ
to the top Of the packs, taking care to
place two cards between il and the three
and two cards above it. When he deals,
his own two cards are consequently six
and three, making nine, lie thus ar
ranges series of consecutive coups
which he Is certain TO win. The cards
are then handed TO be cut, and by
trick which consists of pushing some
cards and slipping others, which, al
though impossible TO explain, is not diff
fcult In practice, he annuls the cut, leav.
ing his series at the top of the pack,
where ho had placed it.. An adroit cheat
can arrange series without any very
lengthy shuflling.
The player cheats the banker in this
way Heputs nine up his sleeve; when
he is given two cards. he takes the
chance Of one Of them being ten or
court card. Surprising that he gets q
ten and three, he takes the cards up,
throws the three up his sleeve, and
brings from II the nine, then he exhibits
o ten and nine, and thus wins. Any
one with very small practice as con-
juror can do this without fear Of detec-
ton.
Quite recently IN officer Of the British
army was detected in cheating at bac-
carat at the Roast club. He was In tho
habit Of putting five-pound note just
outside the line on which the stakes were
placed. II his card lost, he withdrew
the note; II II won, he pushed the note
within the line, The club expelled him.
o. did another club Of which he was .
membov, and no killed himself
