A Congressman Tells Some Secrets
About the Game in Washington.

A Washington correspondent writes
Is follows: "Senator Tom Bowen, of
Colorado, is the best poker player we
have in town. Why, the second night
he was here, Plumb, of Kansas, and
Jones' of Nevada, sat down with him
to o little game. and l am told he
scooped the party t. the extent of
twenty or thirty thousand In half an
hour, but Bowen has lost more than
he has won during the last few gears.
"wHo ARE H POKER PLAYERS IN CON
GREss2"
a member wss asked. "There are
very few who have seats In the senate.
Old Lapham plays occasionally, and
so do Hale and Vest but as to the
others"-it would disgrace the game to
say they played at all. These are not
the times we used to have when Grant
was president"
els Arthur much Of o playerf"
"Well, yes. Iguess he is about as
'cagey' as any of them. He will sit
up all night over O. game of poker,
when nothing else in the world will
uoll his hJteuGlOn.
CHANDLER IS A sEARP ONE,
too, and I understand that he and
Congressman Dick Gre Wiley are about
the most expert i'll that set"
"What set2"
"Why, the white house set. They
tell me thai they play 1t 'olipd,' In
Difference to Arthur's wishes, and this
has been the most popular way of
running the game here this season.
In the draw game there is O little
chance for skill, but blind poker, In
which you don't draw at all, is the
most outrageous form of gambling
but, OF course, you know all about
It,"
"Who are the best poker players In
the house."
"Joe Blackburn can deal the paste,

as any a l know Of, and will bacl

DEAD OR ALIVEp
A Colored Mans Body Keeps Warm
for Five Days After Death.

Philadelphia Press. Feb. 9th.
The body of Anthony Lewis, a col.
ored man, has been lying for six days
at his residence, 26 South Forty-sec-
ond street, In q state of apparent sus-
pended animation. A week ago to-day
he attended an entertainment at
Mount Pisgah A. M. Il. Church,
Locust, above For ieth street, ana In
the midst of 1t dropped dead. He was
taken to his residence, where he lived
with his sister, and the coroner was
summoned. He gave the usual YER
dict of heart disease and departed, CIV
log orders for tho burial Of the body.
On Wednesday an undertaken was
called, but he refused to have anything
TO do with the case, saying that tho
mar was not dead. This strange an
nouncement reminded the sister of a
strange speech that Lewis had made to
her u week before. SIN a little while"
said he; III shall die, and yet l shall
not be dead. 1 shall come to life
again, but shall not live long. In q
few days after I shall really de-"
The man really had but the appear
snee of q man In a peaceful sleep.
The color of his lips remained natural,
and In addition to this, the animal
heat remained In the body. This was
conclusive evidence that the mar had
not departed this life.

kept constant watch and tried all man
ner of tricks that are commonly sup
posed to decide whether the spark of

So she remained firm and allowed
no physicians near her sacred dead.
Saturday was finally decided on for
the interment, but whom the day
arrived the body was still warm and as
natural as life. No odor whatever
could be detected. Several officers of
the Twenty. first district viewed the
alleged corpse, and found 1t still warm.
The poor ulster was nearly worn out by
the constant watching, as she bad
hardly left the side of the body in all
that time. When yesterday came the
body seemed to be quite cold at last,
and 1t was decided to remove 1t to the
house of the mans wife in Salem, N.

In the house began to object to the

So a coffin was procured and the
body was placed therein, A dinner
bell was placed in the inanimate hand

attract attention to his unfortunate

MED the corpse to Salem to give 1t a

The diminution in milk superinduced by
summer drouths is one of the farmers draw
backs. The check in the flow of milk is
some times felt throughout the entire season,
even if favorable weather shall afterwards
ensue for when cows once fall off in their
milk it is bard work to bring them up again at
an advanced stage of their yearly milk-giv-
ing period. Such loss may be avoided by
taking the precantion of sowing small
field of corn adjoining the pasture. or in
some place where it will be convenient
to feed If sown at the usual time of
planting corn, it will be large enough
to use by the middle of July. Another piece
may be sown later, for feeding in August
This will be found cheap and good food for
milch cows. on account of its extraordinary
succulence. Sorghum and millet are also
good but the corn for soiling crop is better
On most soil it fourishes during drouth
when everything else suffers. The cattle
can be fed in the pasture, lane or yard at
regular hours. An acre or two will often
help out wonderfully in this way, and that
which is not needed for feeding during the
summer can be cut and cured for winter use
