CLUB-LIFE PASTIMES.

How Young Men with Much Leisure and
Few Brains Make Life Worth Living.
Baltimore Sun.
There is probably no club that has not its
own peculiar game of chance. some of them
are very queer and unique. They always
take precedence of such common games as
poker, euchre, pin-pool or odd and even, be-
cause they can be played without cards and
without attracting attention. One of these
games was instituted in the Union club, in
New York. 1t was called 'nigger up and mig
gerdown." Those who would play it sat in
the club bow-window Four men were a
complement. The game was regulated by
the number OF colored citizens
that walked up and down the
street. One player would take the pavement
up on one side, another down on the same
side, a third up on the other side and a
fourth down. If a colored person passes by
during the progress of the game it is like a
winning hand at poker. Up or down on
either side counts for some one player and
he rakes in the pot. This game was at one
time such a mania among New York club
men that colored professions have been
turned from their routes and paid literally
directions. On one occasion a club
han paid S25 to the colored knights
who were about to turn out, to pass
northward by the window. Another club
man unearthed the plot and doubled the
bonus for the same procession to go by the
same window in a southerly direction. These
two men began a game OF niger up and
niger down." and sat in the window six
hours waiting for that procession. Alas, I'M
forseen trouble had developed about the
finances, and the knights did not turn out
at all. This illustrates the game. 1t may be
played by a mere novice with perfect success,
provided enough colored people pass by on
his side of the street.
Another club game is '~crack-step," or
'gutter-step." If there is a stretch of pave
nlent in sight which is laid with broad tones
instead of bricks it is customary to bet upon
the number of cracks a passer-by will step
on. The number must necessarily vary with
the length of the stride OF the party passing,
making the game thereby an uncertain one.
If there is q gutter-plate over a gutter in the
pavement it is entertaining to some to bet
on pedestrians stepping on or over it. A
curious fact is that seven out of ten step on
the plate, and it is necessary to give odds if
you are betting open.
Betting on corners which certain passers-
by may turn is also a club pastime. The
color of passing horses is sometimes made
the subject of wagers also; and betting on
whether the collar of the next man passing
is standing or turn-down is a cheerful diver
sion in the same system. At the table fly
loo is also an exhiierating recreation for the
intellectual young men who find pleasure in
such diversions. Each player has a lump OF
sugar before him, and if a fly lights on a
lump the other players pay the proprietor
thereof the staked percentage. Such are
some of the games which beguile the mon
otony of life for club men.

KISSES FOR REVENUE ONLY.
Sold at Two Bits a Dozen by a Pretty Cali.
fornia Girl with Lips Like Cherries.

Sold at Two Bits a Dozen by a Pretty Cali
fornia Girl with Lips Like Cherries.
San Francisco Examiner.
The Appeal tells US of a Marysville girl
who is deriving quite a lucrative revenue
from the sale OF kisses at two bits a dozen.
at is reported, " says the Appeal, that
last week she sold forty-seven dozen, and
that her receipts were SLIPS. At regular
rates she should have had $11, rs. but she sold
one job lot of twelve dozen for $3.50, which
account for the discrepancy. 1t is limited
that in addition to these receipts, one de-
voted admirer has prevailed on her to make
a special contract, after the fashion adopted
by the railroad company, under the
terms of which, and in considera-
tons of his doing all the kissing
with her, he is charged much less than the
regular schedule rates. 1t appears that this
osculatory traffic has been going on for
months past without the knowledge of any
persons except those Immediately concerned,
the participants being pledged to secrecy.
But an inquisitive little sister has peeped
into the pretty girls diary and seen the
scores entered in the back of the book. Now
the secrets out, and lots of girls are inquir-
ing at the book stores for diaries"
The only thing that really amazes us in
this statement is the extraordinary cheap
ness of the dainty. AT that price they are
more economical than ~sugar-plums, and all
must confess that, as CONNECTIONS, kisses are
the most desirable article. In fact, for its size,
a kiss is the sweetest thing in the market;
and to waste such upon a market
like Marysville, where the buyers have no
more appreciation of the value of the article
than is indicated by the beggarly price of
two bits a dozen, is a downright shame. In
San Francisco those kisses would command
81 apiece, and they could be sold by the
dozen, too. But it is always the case. The
owner of a really valuable discovery never
knows its value until the novelty and charm
are worn away. Only a short time ago a
young lady in an eastern State got So, 900 for
a kiss. And yet here is a pretty Marysville
girl, with lips like luscious cherries and
eyes like stars, and with a rosy-tinted
face where blushes pale and fever
like dreams of bliss, selling her kisses at two
bits a dozen. 1t is nothing less than a posi-
tive crime, 1t is like selling diamonds at ten
cents a bushel. Why, a kiss in the Marys-
vile market is valued at less than q beef
steak, while here in San Francisco they are
actually worth their weight in gold. If the
products of the country are undervalued in
this way, what will become of the great in
dustries of the State? The next thing we
hear, a hug will only be held at a bit a
squeeze. Such things are worse than agrari-
anism. 1t is cheapening the most delightful
luxuries we have in life.

FRESH FASHIONS.

Ellen Terry bonnets and slippers are al
ready displayed.
Lace bonnets are the correct wear for the
opera, when any bonnet is worn.
Shopping bags are now suspended from the
waist of the dress Oh a silver chatelaine.
Partisan women are powdering the hair
and arranging it a la Mary Stuart in the even
ing.
Worth utilities the brocaded sash ribbons
OF the season by makingsi side panels and plas-
irons of them.
Black velvet bonnets tied with narrow
plush strings of orange and red are much
worn by young ladies.
Spanish lace with velvet figures comes by
the piece as wide as ordinary silk, for the
front of handsome black silk dresses.
Titan red, a lovely shade verging on au-
burn, bids fair to be the most fashionable
bright color of the incoming season.
Hair is worn very high, but the fashion
prophet predicts the low chignon, and even
more than that-the revival of the waterfall
of curls.
Very high necked bands are fashionable;
black velvet bands, with no relieving white,
clasped in front with three small ana precious
clasps, are very chic.
Hairpins made of pure steel are coming
into fashion. When the hair is coiled on the
crown of the head an amber prong is the
proper ornament for it.
Camel's hair shawls are not fashionable ar
ranged as dolmans They are worn now
with dresses OF black satin, and are folded so
that the END at the back will almost touch
the ground.
Silk has superseded fur as the fashionable
lining for outdoor wraps of every descrip-
ton. When it is fine and nicely quilted it
is quite as warm as the fur, and not so
troublesome to keep in order.

girls. The latest way of making is to gather
the bodice at the neck and waist, and finish
off with rundown velvet collar; the sleeves
are shirred at the top and narrowed tightly
at the wrist with a velvet band.
The style of a certain waist, worn a half
century ago, is now copied and admired by
ultra-fashionable young ladies. The waist is
sharply pointed front and back, while over
the front is laid a shirred piece which reaches
from the throat to the extreme point. where
1t ends in a bow and ends of satin ribbon.
The sleeves are pulled and shirred, and are
exceedingly high on the shoulder.

Edison Explains How the Wires May Il e
Dangerous if Improperly Handled.

~" YIN oRSSAUA
The now famous suit of John S. futile
against the Brush Electric Light Company
was made interesting to-day by the appear
ance of T. A. Edison. Even W, M. Evarts
got down from his high horse in the pres
ence of the distinguished electrician. us
the arc light system dungeons to human
life?" was asked. Mr.. Edison held his hand
carefully to his ear, as he is exceedingly
deaf, and answered cautiously, II never
tried it." The spectators smiled. 1.-THE arc
current, if uninsulated, will be dangerous
Mr.. Edison continued, 'if supplying thirty
lamps"
Poles and wires, he said, were not neces-
sary for electric lighting. If an efferent
wire was broken the current would simply
close. If another wire under such circum-
stances shall cross the efferent wire as we'll
as the efferent wire near the dynamo the
wire would be burned and possibly the lamp.
The machinery in the Office would SUI fer
most. Red-hot wire would probably drop on
passers by, and it would be "pretty bad' for
them. The white insulator used in the Brush
Company's wire, Mr., Edison said, would not
while the dark one would, be made brittle by
the elements. No perfect insulator mad been
put into practice. There was no particular
difficulty in operating the arc system under
ground.
On the cross-examination Mr.. Edison said
that a person could become implicated In the
electric light wires by putting his hands on
the two carrying opposite currents near the
station, if they were not properly insulated,
or by placing one hand on one wire and
forming a ground connection with the ma
chine or the other insulated wire.
Mr.. Evarts then questioned the inventor as
to whether an accident to a person could &C.
cur to which the person did not voluntarily
contribute. Mr.. Edison, after bordering,
responded that this might happen where a
stream of water strongly charged with cleo
tricity fell upon an individual. He could
think of no other contingency. "Do you
know of any condition where a stream of
water highly charged with electricity has
descended upon the head of a person passing
in the streets?" asked Mr. Eyarts. nc SIR
was the quiet reply.

Gath's New York Gossip.
"Do you think the newspapers treat Wm.
II. Vanderbilt in the right way?"
How do you mean?'
"They always get after him when he is in
a bad temper from some natural matter and
insist on interviewing him. Why don't they
go ana take him when things are running
we'll with him, and show the better side of
his character? He has a good side. Consider
ing his wealth, he is not an injurious man.
He might be made a useful man to his com
munity, but the newspapers chiefly insist on
driving him into his corner. He has en-
tertqined ideas of doing good to the public.
About the time he gets them in his mind
some reporter catches him: does not suppress
the rough parts of his speech, does suppress
the mild parts, and turns him into the pub
lie gaze as a great brute, which is far from
the case. He is a good employer, a kind
parent and a dutiful one. II" has nothing
intriguing in his nature. He is altogether a
better-hearted man than his father was. 1t
would be refreshing to the readers of the
press if they would some day present Mr..
Vanderbilt at his natural and ordinary side"

Rabies or Doc-Madness.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The Brown Animal Sanatory Institution"
(under the government of the University Of
London) has issued a notice in which they
say that this disease appears in dogs of all
ages, and may appear at any season of the
year. 1t is recognized by a change of de-
meanor of the dog, which becomes detected,
morose. inclined to roam, and anxious to
and any refuse which it sees, snaps at imasi-
nary objects, and beeomes unusually excited
by strange or sudden noises. 1T rubs its
throat with its paws, as if striving to get rid
of some object there; at the same time there
is a more or less abundant flow of saliva
from the mouth. The dog will attack its
master, or animals of any kind, but it is most
easily reused to fury by the presence of other
dogs. There is throughout the disease no
dread of water. In one form OF the disease,
called ''dumb madness" there is paralysis of
the jaw, and therefore inability to bite. If q

Opera Bonnets.

New York Evening Post.
A very pretty display of opera bonnets is
made this week by a Broadway importer.
Among the white bonnets, of which there is
an unusually large collection, is one model,
shaped Marie Antoinette fashion, and made
wholly of large pearl beads strung on gold
wire. Inside the brim is a fine ruching of
delicate gold lace. The trimming outside
consists solely Of a delicate white lace scarf
of the most lovely design, and of web-like
texture, which partly wells a portion of the
pearl-beaded crown. This scarf is caught
Town each side with ornaments in fine gold
filigree. A second bonnet, in London gypsy
shape, is of dove-colored velvet trimmed
around the brim with a putting of violet vel
vet yelled with gold lace. Around the
crown is set a full wreath of purple velvet
heartsease. The inside of the bonneti is faced
with violet satin, and at the back of the bon
net, just above the ear, are set three large
Marie Kappenheim roses. Prettiest of all is
a bonnet of shirred white ottoman silk faced
with pale mauve satin and trimmed with
soft snow-Yhite ostrich tips, held by a large
buckle Of sparkling Partisan diamonds. The
tips are powdered with diamond dust and
scented with the faintest perfume OF wood
