take these cards and tell me
whether you open it or notY
Mrs. Spoopendyke examined
her cards critically.
.sI stand pat" she remarked
after a long pause. "Say, dear,
| are four aces as good as a jack
pot?"
Certainly" replied Mr.. Spoop-
| endyke, who had captured an ace,
a pair Of kings and a couple OF
tens. "Now, I open that pot fol
four chips "
"Then I open IL for four" said
Mrs. Spoopendy Ike, following her
husbands example.
II raise you ten," grinned Mr..
Spoopendyke. Now you are
playing something Like it. Want
to raise me?'
"Of course" giggled Mrs.
Spoopendyke, who hadn't the re :
motest notion what raising
meant. II raise you," and she
showed up the checkers with a
trem bling hand.
"What have you got2" demand
ed Mr.. Spoopendyke.,
His wife laid down four aces
and a jack.
Mr.. Spoopendyke glanced at
the hand aud then at his own
cards. His ace was only the
joker, which be had forgotten to
remove from the pack.
(which opens it?' inquired
Mrs. Spoopendyke, watching the
gathering storm with some trepi
dation.
"Nothing opens itl' yelled Mr..
Spoopendyke, dashing the cards
TO the floor. with your way oi
playing, it would take a con-
founded steam oyster knife to
open it! How'd ys think it was

an idea that it had hinges,
haven't ye, and opens widest when
it has nothing to say. like your

"MustI bet my last cents nowY'
faltered Mrs. Spoopendyke, pro-
foundly impressed with the idea
that the game was still going on.
"I've got four dollars, but I want
Que for wiggin. Shall / bet the

endyke, who, like a great many
men, regarded the idea Of his

Spoopendyke as she wound the
clock, and stood scratching hei

Anotner saserao Club.

There is an imperative necessity for
the establishment of another Sazerac
Club in Idaho. with headquarters at
Boise City. The following is the latest
lie from a paper published at that place.
The editor says that saloon keeper,
when shutting up on a cold night, found
a half lf-frozen owl on the doorstep. Be-
ing humane man he took the bird in
side, thawed him out and made him
comfortable. When he retired he left
the owl inside, tied firmly to the safe.
II is reported that the owl evincei ex-
treme gratitude and devotion, but how
is not stated. The morning finally ar
rived as usual, but the status of things
had changed. The owl had bitten the
rope in two. devoured every morsel Of
the free lunch, sampled every kind Of
liquor in the establishment, broke all
the bottles and decanters within reach,
got sober again, and was found standing
behind the bar as solemn as the typical
owl, rsndy for business. Yes, we must
have another Sazerac Club. The editor
who wrote the above should be its chair.

Diaphanous Water.

A new method of carrying water over
the deserts and plains has been made by
M. Paseur, French chemist. It con-
sists Of separating the water into oxygen
and hydrogen gases. and then carrying
it in India rubber balloons fastened to
horses or mules over the deserts. The
gas, being SO light, carries itself and
part of the mnle or wagon along with it.
At night gas jet is lighted from the
balloons, and enough of the gases are
exploded to form water for culinary and
beverage uses. This discovery removes
the danger of dying from thirst Ia most
horrible death) while travelling over
deserts in America. Asia and Africa.
Heretofore the great teams that have
carried passengers and freight over the
deserts of California, Arizona, Nevada,
New Mexico and Sonora have been
burdened with carrying so much water.
By the new process of carrying water
in the form of gas, the gas is not load
but really lightens the burden materi-
ally, makes campfire, u cup of coffee
and lamp for the darkness. The
French government has conferred the
order of Commander of the Legion Of
Honor on M. Pasteur for this application
of the principle of the composition and
decomposition of water, and has estab.
lished factories at various points south
Of Algiers to supply the caravans of the
Sahara Desert with water in their long
and arid marches. Our people can do
the same in our desert country.

A New Kind of Leather.

They now make leather without going
through the process of tanning. The
new method appears to be simple, and
might be used to advantage on this
coast, where there are so many hides of
various kinds. The water in the pores
of the hide is expelled by means of chlo-
ride 81 calcium, and anhydrous ether,
the proportions used being dependent
on the solvent, and the degree of con-
centration. The leather made by this
process is said to be much more supple
and flexible than that made in the ordi.
nary way. but it also possesses the pc.
culiar quality that, if stepped in tepid
water, the leather will return to its orig.
inal condition as hide, 1t is sort oi
incontrovertible product, which is the
favorite word that inanciers use when
they talk about something they know
nothing about. There is nothing like
the iudicious use of high sounding
words.

PROFITS OF MARKET GARDENING.
Prices Of Produce Elsewhere-M Margin
OF Profits Elsewhere.

In the HERALD OF yesterday appeared
q statement of the yield and profit of a
large number Of garden products as
shown by the sale Of the same in our
local markets. Only part Of the fruits
and vegetables of our gardens were in
cluded in that list. although it was
somewhat protracted in length. One
very prominent fruit, the tomato, should
be added to the list. This fruit on the
warm brushlands, sometimes will yield
fruit for several years without replant-
ing tae vine, but the common plan is to
plant every year. Where the soil is free
from frost the fruit that ripens in the
winter commands II high price, while
the crop is maturing for three or four
months. Instances have been shown
where this fruit has yielded from 5000
to 5000 per acre annually.
In the previous article it was pre-
sumed that all the produce named would
be sold il Les Angeles, but it is quite
safe to presume that with rapid in
crease of the business Of gardening more
"truck' would be raised than our
market could consume. In that case it
is well to look abroad and see what
suoh products sell for in other markets.
One Of the leading central, or mediter-
ranean markets,is that of Chicago. city
of 100000 persons and score of rail
ways. 1t is considered the most active
fruit market in America and is now in
easy reach from Southern California.
Nearly all kinds q fruit and vegetables
can be sent in refrigerator cars for nine
months in the year.
The following is list of quotations
for the five months OF 1882, February,
March, April, May and June; months in
which our shipments would be most safe
and profitable to ship. The quotations
are the highest and the lowest in each
month:
