PROGRESSIVE EUCHRE.
AN ANSWER TO THE QUERY, WHAT
Is 1T?

Considerable interest is manifest
eel among card PLAYERS in otncr SEC,
tons in the game of ''progresSiy,
euchre," and the question is often
asked among our local players as "a
what the game is. The rules and
usages Of the game are summed up
IN about this fashion:
The game calls for twelve players,
There are three tables, each supplied
with cards One is called the ace,
one the king and one the queen table.
Take the aces, the kings and the
queens from one of the. packs, and,
after they have been shuffied, let
each person draw one, the ones draw
ing aces going to the ace table, those
drawing kings to the king table and
those drawing queens to the queen
tablc--the persons drawing black
cards beng partners, and those
drawing red, partners. When this
has been done the playing COM
mences; regular euchre is played.
No games count save those at the
ace table, and each players record
at the table is kept by the scorer.
When "A game has been finished ut
the ace table the parties who are de-
featod go to the queen table and
those who have made the most points
at the king table take their places
and try to defeat their victors, while
the parties who have made the most
points at the queen table take the
places of the persons who lett the
king table for the ace table. At the
king and queen tables they do not
stop playing because they have fin
ished at the ace table; nor, on the
other hand, if game has been con
cluded at the ace table and the king
or queen table sets have not finished
their game, do not try to finish it.
The ones making the most points
are the victors, whether less or more
than FIVE, the regular number for
game. has been made. 1t is usual to
give some present or favor to the
person winning the most games at
the ace table, and also the ones get

Learn a Trade

There are some boys who do not
Ike to learn anything that is hard.
They like easy lessons and easy
work. But they forget that things
which are learned easily are of com
paratively little value when learned.
a man who confines himself to
easy things must do hard work for
small pay. For example, boy can
learn to saw wood in five minutes;
any boy can learn to saw in the same
time; any ignorant person can learn
1t just as easily; and the result is,
the boy who has only learned to
saw wood, if he gets work to do,
must do it i'll competition with the
most ignorant class, and accept the
wages for which they are willing to
work.
Now, it is very we'll for n boy to
know how To saw wood. But sup
pose he knew how to build steam
engine! This would be much hard
err to learn than saving wood; but
when he had learned it he would
know something which other people
do not know, and when he got work
to do other people could not come
and get it away from him. lie
would have a prospect of steady
work and good wages; he would
have a good trade and so be in
dependent. Boys should think of
this, and spend their early days in
learning the thing they need to
know in after years. Some boys
are very anxious to earn; but this is
not always best. 1t is often more
important that boys should learn.
When they are young they can earn
but little, but they can learn much,
and if they learn things thoroughly
when young, they will earn when
they are older much more than
enough to make up for the time and
labor which they spent in learning
what to do and how to do it,

There is race of people, Who
live west of Townsend's place, And
they used TO come down to the Val
ley, To give the boys all bad face.
One day between Christmas and
New Years, They turned out as gay
as pinks, And pulled up at Shep-
pard's bar-room, "To learn him how
to set up the drinks" First came
the homely faced little lad, And
dropped off his coat like a man,
Then rolled up his sleeves and threw
off his hat, And says "Trot me a
heat if you can" Just then in step
ped the landlord, And says "bovs
let's have it still" But 1t didn't
seem to make any difference, For he
says 81 am a pretty bad pill" Next
came the big footed Englishman,
with his mouth open rs well as
his eyes, And says Il am just over
from Canada, And brought along
with me the prize. Now set up your
drinks or down goes your BAR" The
Canada man says in rage, But the
bar tender said, "There's nobody
afraid of man who fights on the
stage" So on they went for no
other wonld do, Till Sheppard came
into the bar, When the Englishman
Immediately put up his props, And
challenged the landlord to spar.
ooh! no." Sheppard says, eve don't
want to SPAR" But into the landlord
he drove, And soon he brought up

er behind the old stove. The boys
feeling sorry took Sheppard away,
But the Englishman bound to run a
full race, Followed over to the other
side of the room, And got a few
kicks in the face. Says one of the
gang shat will do for tonight, You
can lick him when you are SOBER"
But he must be drunk still for new
er have heard, OF his coming to try
the thing over. The homely faced
little lad and his chum stays at home,
AT least everybody thinks, They
will never again come Down 70 the
Valley, To show Sheppard how to
set up the drinks.

HERO.HUNTERS,

Bismaroks Experience With One Who
Was Success.
The opportunities of hero-hunters are
a common topic of remark, and, it may
be added, common cause of conf
plant; but it is not often that Emporium
ity is so we'll rewarded as in a case in
which Prince Bismarck was the princi-
pal figure not long ago. A certain Herr
Berchhof. of Melbourne, is, besides be-
ing merchant, the President of the
German club in that prosperous city.
The members of the club appear to
have given their President commits
sion on his last visit to Germany. and
this was that he should bring back with
him portraits of the Kaiser, the Crown
Prince and Prince Bismarck-a goodly
trio, we'll fitted to adorn the walls of
such an institution as German club
in foreign land. Herr Berchhof Sc
cured his portraits all right. but
thought that of the Iron Chancellor
would look all the better if there were
an autograph at the foot. He went to
the Chancellor's palace for the purpose
of begging it, and as luck had it, Prince
Bismarck himself stumbled upon him
as he was writing down his request in
the Secretary's room. The portrait
was unrol!ed in an instant. and, Bis
marck being in good humor. the in
truder was asked into his study. With
a quill pen the Chancellor wrote his
name in bold characters, but the pen
split, and Bismarck threw it to the
ground. The autograph-hunter picked
it up in second. Might he keep it
and take it back to show the great
Chancellor's countrymen ubere Mer?
Bismarck smiled consent. Yet even
now, with autograph and pen, the man
was not satisfied. Success feeds ambi-
ton. He cast his eyes around the
room. A cuirassier's cap lay on a
chair. He bethought himself That it
was in this very kind of headgear that
Bismarck was generally sold to the
public by photographers. Might he
have the cuirasser's cap. too. just for
the sake of fatherland? Yes, he might
have the cap as we'll. With this the
fortunate man departed, to bear home
across the sea the autograph, pen
and cap of Germany great Chancellor.
The German club at Melbourne is
doubtless more than satisfied at the
success of its Presidents mission. A
less astute tactieian might have had to
give different account of himself

A New Rubber Supply.

We mentioned some time ago that a
new industry was attracting attention
at Rio Psrdo, Minas Geraes, namely,
the production of rubber from the milk
of the mangabeira, tree of the family
of Apocneas and very common there,
as we'll as in the north of the empire.
According to a letter written from the
city (Rio Pardo), at first only the fruit
was used, but later it was proved that
the milk, very abundant in the trees,
and which may be extracted in the same
manner as is in use with the Syphonia
elastica, by incisions, becomes readily
converted into excellent rubber, equal,
if not superior to, as we are assured,
that produced in the Amazons. Further,
it is stated that the preparation is very
easy, for if eighty-five grammes Of
alum dissolved in three iters of pure
water be added to three liters of the
milk, coagulation is perfectly secured
and rubber obtained, which should
be exposed to the sun for a few days.
The latter states that jug (qarrafaJ
of this milk sells in Rio Pardo at two
hundred to two hundred and fifty
refs, and that many people are en-
ployed in its extraction; also that the
first shipment of rubber had been
made to Bahia; it weighed two hun
dred and fifty arrobas, and the result
is anxiously awaited. Rio NsWs.

PATENT MEDICINES.
Men Who Make and Those Who Use Tn
Fortunes in Nostrums.

Men Who Make and Those Who Use Them
Fortunes in Nostrums.
Eyes, I can tell you considerable
about patent Medicines said promi-
nent wholesale druggist in answer to
a reporters inquiry. '.In the first place
the word patent as applied to medicines
s not correct. Many years ago, when
the business of manufacturing these
medicines first started, some of the
proprietors did get out patents on their
wares, but experience taught them bet
ter very soon. To get patent it was
necessary to specify the exact ingredi-
ents of the medicine and their proper
tions. As that was virtually giving to
the world what was most important to
be kept secret, the plan of patenting
was abandoned almost as soon as begun.
and instead a trademark was invented
and copyrighted. The Federal Govern
ment grants these trademarks, but
withhoids its protection from them,
leaving to the State courts the onus of
forbidding their infringement. And
this was the case for years. during which
the Federal Government levied a taxa
ton on the medicines thus copyrighted.
Therefore, to speak correctly, they
should be called proprietary, not patent,
medicines.
s.When did these medicines origi-
nate? Well. to speak correctly, they are
as old as the human race. In the days
when doctors were less plentiful and
less skilled, every man was
more or less his own doctor. Every old
woman had her favorite herbs, and thus
in time long-tried and reliable recipes
fell into the hands of shrewd men with
an eye to the main chance. Not few
physicians are to be credited with the
paternity of many popular and success
full patent medicines. Probably the real
rise and wide sale of patent medicines
do not extend much further back than
half century. Most of the very sue
cessful ones trace their history no fur
ther back than that Out of about five
thousand articles of domestic make not
more than fifty can be carried on as a
business apart from other interests. In
deed. out of the five thousand there are
probably only five hundred that can be
set down as of any Importance. 1t is
safe to say that not more than half a
dozen have made a million each.
1.-The people of this country are great |
patrons of patent medicines, the mid /
die classes especially. The rich can
always consult a physician at the least /
