In a Chinese Gambling Den.

A Chinese gambling den is one of the
most repulsive sights to be seen in Hong
Kong. 1t is generally dilapidated
hovel or mat-shed, through the chinks
of which gray light streams from with.
in and noise as of bedlam greets the
visitors ears. A score of voices are yell
ing and shouting together The air is
full of wild imprecations, terrible oaths
and hysterical laughter. When the storm
lulls nothing can be heard but the jingle
of coin. Lifting aside the grimmy cur
tain that conceals the entrance, an often
sive odor of foul breaths and unwashed
linen rises up. The room is small, only
about twelve by ten feet, and is crowded.
There is high table in the room, at one
end of which are seated the croupier, the
money examiner, with scales to weigh
the broken silver. On the other side of
the table is a motley crowd of haggard
faces, with bloodshot eyes, watching the
play with bared breath, and all in q
state of feverish excitement. There is
checkered board lying on the table,
arranged in squares marked 1, 2, 8, 4.
The croupier throws quantity of copper
cash on the table and covers the heap
with basin. so as to prevent the players
estimating the quantity of the heap.
When this is done the players step for
ward and place their stakes on the
squares, according to each mans prefer
ence. The croupier then removes the
bowl, and with an ivory rod proceeds to
remove the heap by taking away four
cash at time. The remainder will be,
of course, one, two, three or four cash,
md the winner is determined by the
accident of the remaining number of
cash corresponding with the number of
the square on which he has placed his
stake. The game is called fantan.

NOBLESSE OBLIGE.

If l am weak and you are strong
Why then, why then,
To you the braver deeds belong;
And so, again,
If you have gifts and l have none,
If have shade and you have sun,
'Tis yours with freer hand to give,
'Tis yours with truer grace to live,
Than l, who giftless, sunless stand,
With barren life and hand.
We do not ask the little brook
To turn the wheel
Unto the larger stream we look
The strength of steel
We do not ask from silken band
Nor heart of oak in willow wanl;
We do not ask the wren to go
Up to the heights the eagles know;
Nor yet expect the lark's clear note
From out the doves dumb throat.
IT'S wisdom's law, the perfect code,
By love inspired
OF him on whom much is bestowed
Is much required,
The tuneful throat is big to sing,
The oak must reign the forests king;
The rushing stream the wheel mustmove
The beaten steel its strength must prove.
'Tis given unto the eagles eyes
To face the mid day skies.

Life After DecapitatiOn.

The last canine martyrdom to science
operated by M. Brown Sequard was OF
peculiarly sensational character That
experimenter wanted to see whether life
after q violent death is susceptible OF
being recalled in an animal killed IN
healthy state. He therefore beheaded a
dog familiar with his voice. The blood
of another dog was beforehand prepared
to be transfused into the arteries of the
head. No sooner was it injected than
the inert head became animated, the eyes
opened, and, on the professor calling the
dog by his name, an attempt was made
to answer bya caressing look. When
the arterial blood was exhausted life dis
appeared. This painful experiment was
suggested by one made by DR.. Lebordo
on Campi's head an hour and half
after execution, and when, presum-
ably, the cerebral matter had greatly lost
excitability. Nevertheless, when arterial
blood was injected into the head the
mouth appeared to take living char
acter, the eyelids were raised, the pupils
contracted when light was flashed upon
them, and by an orifice in the skull it
was seen that circulation was momen-
tarily established in the intellectual con-
volutions. DR.. Laborde wanted to
operate on Campi's head directly it fell
into the basket, but the rule, in virtue
of which the form of Christian burial
was gone through at the Champ de
Navets cemetery, stood in his way. 1t
is to be hoped that it will not be depart
ed from in order to solve incompletely a
psychological question. A detached head
could not speak or make signs or re-
plies to questions put about sensations
were consciousness for q moment re-
stored, as it was in the case of the dog.
Moreover, there is something inexpressi-
bly, shocking in an experiment of this
kind on human being. London Ne'Os.

BIaine's Visitors.

BosToN, July 1.-THE Herazd's Augusta
special says: This afternoons train brought
among the passengers Whitelaw Reid of New
York, Charles Emery Smith of the Philadel-
phia Press, and Congressman w. W. Phelps.
of New Jersey. Postmaster Manley and
Walker Blaine were on hand to meet the dis
tinguished trio, and they were at once driven
to Mr. Blaine's residence. Very naturally
Cleveland's nomination was the first topic of
conversation, and at once occasioned an
interchange of opinion. Mr.. Blaine
was in excellent spirits and spoke
of the bearings of Cleveland's nomination
on the result. A gentlemen who visited Mr..
Blaine this evening reports him as saying he
did not regard the nomination of Cleveland
as strong one. Mr.. Cleveland was but lit
tie, known. There were several men who
would have been more available. He seemed
perfectly satisfied with the nomination, and
did not indicate by word or look that it
troubled him. He expressed his belief that
the tariff issue would be paramount in the
the campaign and would draw a good many
votes from the other side. Mr.. Blaine's
visitors will remain until Monday. 1t is un-
derstood they are here to confer with him on
his letter of acceOtance.

They Compromised.

A man about 50 years of age galloped
down the stone steps leading to the Western
Union telegraph Office yesterday, and rushed
at the receiving clerk with the inquiry:
Scan 1 express my feelings in tele-
gram?"
''Do you mean that you like profane Ian
guage!"
II do 1 want to use some of the tallest
kind of it!''
'sWe can't send anything of that sort.
There are no letters in the Morse alphabet
to stand for swear werds.'' .,4-,-4
''Well, then, I'll TO let it go, but want
ed to telegraph to my brother that d been
robbed. put my satchel down to fight with
hickman, and some one stole it,
He went away growing and muttering
but in about an hour he returned in still
hotter haste, and exclaimed
''Now I've been robbed of my coat and
$50 in cash, and I've got to swear by tele-
graph or bust! Hung my coat ON a telegraph
pole while | was trying to outjump fellow,
and some one gobbled it!'
:'As l told you before, we d1n't transmit
any profane language, replied the clerk.
''You can notify your brother that you have
had bad luck.''
"And not express my feelings! Never!
He wouldn't believe it was me. Make an
exception for me, can't you."
The clerk couldn't and the man said he
would do his swearing by letter, and make
it heavy enough for double postage. 1t
wasn't half an hour, however, before he
reappeared, and this time he couldn't stand
still as he shouted out:
1--WE got to do it Hadn't been out of
here ten minutes when chap in shooting
gallery mopped me all over the floor
ed-licked-mopped! Say, femme
swear by telegraph. I've got dollar left,
and I'll give it to you to send ten words to

The Left Side the Better.


The left side of the face is the right; statis-
tics prove the paradox. Artists always put
the best touches, finest shading and most
delicate tints on the left side of the profile.
Actors, actresses, and public singers always
make half turn to the right when they wish
to impress their audiences. Young ladies
desirious of bewitching their gentlemen
friends always walk on the right Landslide
Why! Because science has shown that this
side of the face Is more beautiful, or less ugly
The left hand is more magnetic than the right
the left breast has more graceful contour
than the opposite, and the glance Of the left
eye has bewitching power Of which the right
is hopelessly innocent. The theme
will bear infinite expansion, but we forbear
to pursue it. The remarkarkable part of TIE
now well known fact is that the discovery
was made by the Chinese. In the year 1881
All Hing Fly Foy had family of seventeen
daughters. They were all lefthanded, and
were greatly sought in marriagp by members
of the royal household. So Irresistible were
the charms of these moon-eyesmaidens that
every man who looked upon them became
enslaved. To save the empire from inter
necine war for their possession, the Emper-
or made an edict that the daughters of All
wing, Fly Foy should be allowed to have thir-
teen husbands each, but that in the future all
lefthanded girls should be strangled at their
birth.
