SOME OF THE SIGNS.

This shark, living, as he has been for
years, on the winnings of other gamblers
and the earnings of foolish dupes, is a fair
sample of the entire class. While he
could sit down and play as cOolly for a
stake of thousands of dollars as he would
for a dozen coppers, giving no tell-tale
sign in movement or facial expression as
to the strength or weakness Of his cards,
yet his frigid imperturbability would be
seriously affected were foot placed upon
the round Of his chair, or a hump-backed
man catch his eye between deals.
The be lief in luck and ill-luck reaches
the most prepOsterous bounds, all the way
from lottery policy playing, the lowest
up to the farO-bank, the highest form of
gambling and which seems to be the final
net into which the smaller nets and their
miscellaneous catches are drawn. Faro
bank players, the regular, continuous play
ers, believe that any contact with negro
will bring good luck. TO shake hands,
unintentionally, with a cOlered man or
woman, or to even brush against one,
before entering a bank" is said to invar-
iably result in extraordinary luck. OF all
other omens, this is taken as the best, and
it is an actual fact that black and ugly
Mascot has been deriving comfortable
living during the last halfa-dOzen years
by hanging around high-grade gambling
dens, and bestOwing luck on the patrons.
Ridiculous as it may seem, veteran gamb-
lers have an unfailing faith that to get
oven "lucky rub from the man who
has touched the negro will transfer a pOr-
ton of his good luck to them. An ex-
perienced faro-player will, in nine cases
out of ten, put whole stack Of chips
ON A DEUCE SPOT
should two colered men enter the room
abreast, but should dog by any means
gain entrance he will Immediately cease
playing and wait for another deal. For a
cat, especially black one, to make its
appearance during deal is the signal fol
heavy betting, while cross-eyed man
would cause CONSERVATION and profanity
Standing behind a players chair, Ol
touching his chair with foot or hand, il
such bad sign that in many places it il
prohibited, and often have there beer
desperate rows from this simple cause
A man who coughs continually gradual!
becomes to be regarded as Jonah, " ant
is avoided for time and then ostracize'
altogether 1t is proverbial that the mon
ey of a novice brings luck to the oil
gambler, and he will willingly spend
dollar or two in treating for the privileg
of exchanging his checks for those of on
who has never before been in the game
A gambler Of twenty years experience
now in this city, has never been known
play ON q red card. He owns two houses
some stocks, and pew in church
Another, equally fortunate, will under n
circumstances bet on any card under si
spot, while another confines all his wager
to the twelve face cards. Almost ever
professional gamester has favOrits care
and sticks to it with wonderful pertinacity
no matter what his luck may be. Frida

If people who are troubled with colds
would make use of Ayers Cherry Pectoral
