hearts broken, more lives destroyed,
and more swindlers and thieves
made than anywhere else by any
other agency in the land. The per-
centage in favor of the bank in faro
is variously estimated at from 3 to 10
per cent, but under certain condi-
lions it is infinitely greater, even in a
square game. When there are three
cards in the box on the last turn, for
instance, the bank has 20 per cent. in
its favor On all calls. But human ma
ture is the strongest percentage in
favor Of the gambler. A man always
plays more to get even than to win"
Here the lecturer entered upon an
extended technical exposure of the
arts by which faro dealers fleece
their victims, showing how two-card
or lever-and squeeze dealing-b0xes
are constructed, and their use. He
also described how cards are prepared
for dishonest dealing from such
boxes; how humps Or rounds and
straights are fixed by trimming one
half of q pack narrower at the ends
than in the middle, and the other
half by trimming the middle lar
newest, the evens then being sanded
with fine sand or emery paper on the
faces, and the odds on their backs, SO
that they stick together when the
wishes to pull two cards at
once from the box, and so change the
deal. Shippers, narrowed at one
end, and cards trimmed on the ends
as trumps are on the sides, were also
fully explained, and BY way of illus
tration Mr.. Stanley split his pack,
the cards in, squeezed them,
stripped them, and butted them in
again like q thorough expert. Then
be demonstrated how q dealer uses
duplicate cards for q turn in q 53-card
pack, and how, when he draws

AN INTELLIGENT DOG.

A remarkable action by dog is
reported from Newburg, N. Y. The
other day a woman in that city, look
ing from her back window, saw in a
house opposite a little child hanging
from a window sill, but was kept from
falling by dog, which had caught
her dress in its teeth. The woman
of that house had left her baby, lo
months old, on the floor of the front
room playing with her toys and a
little terrier dog that is her constant
companion. The mother was away
from home just three minutes, but
when she came back her infants head
and her arms and shoulders we're
hanging beyond the stone Gill of an
open window, and near it, with it's
feet on a chair, stood the little dog
holding on to the childs dress for dear
life. Her child, unconscious of any
danger, was growing at some object
in the yard, while the dog, holding
on to the dress, looked a mute ap-
peal for haste and help. 10 an in
slant she was by her baby's side and
be danger was passed. When the
dog had been relieved of its burden
it prauced around the mother end
child with delight that was almost
frantic.
