Card-Playing on Saipboard.

1t has becomes nuisance to cross the
ocean, by reason of the dozen alluring
methods INDUCED in to get I'd of loose
coin. One must bet on the vessels
speed, on the pilots likely to come on
board at Sandy Hook, on the length e
the trip, down to hours, even minutes,
and, last of all, one must subscribe to
sailors homes, "orphana9es" or hos
pitfalls" by contributing to execrable
concerts, accompanied by the lingling,
tuneless saloon piano These things it
requires Spartan courage to refuse
part in, and the one who STANDS aloof
is regarded as a miser. No one of
sense can object to small lee TO
stewardesses and stewards. These
humble persons may make or mar
ones comfort. They are in the main
decent, honest folk, whose wages, ire
spect.ve of gratuities, are far from
commensurate with the services they
render.
But, in the name of all that is de-
cent, let every honorable man and
woman frown down the other tax
pension lists, and, above all else, card
playing for money stakes. These
stupid etceteras deter many a couple
of modest means from taking a holiday
ocean trip. The graceful art of CONVEX
sation is relegated to Oblivion that
people. may dabble in the doings Of
the paste board hearts, aces and dia-
monds. What are trumps? is query
of more moment with modern society
than what are the ablest of the new
books. or who are the best of the
modern painters. Wretched colored
daubs, p by 81 inches in measure
ment, are more in evidence than the
latest gigantic discoveries in science or
theories in philosophy. There seems,
though little choice between card-play-
ing and listening to piano stunning
by badly taught players, who have
neither taste nor talent for music, let
alone knowledge of 1T. Ii anybody
suggets reading aloud from good
book of fiction, romance or travel, the
suggestion is voted old-fogyish. Gem
eral conversation too often runs to
School for Scandal" gossip. Growing
by what it feeds upon, the minds and
aspirations of the cleverest people
dwarf and dwindle, and they turn to
cards as to lesser evil Of time wasting
designations. = Annie Wdkeman, IN,

summer.

ACCORDING to recent cable dispatch
from London, the Provost Marshal at
Mandalay has had lately to spperintend
the execution of numbers of Burmese
Dacoits. Not content with having them
shot down IN an ordinary business
fashion, the Provost Marshal, who has
O morbid taste for amateur photog-
raphy, has on several occasions added
unspeakable torture to his victims
death-pangs by delaying the interval
between orders to present" and "fire"
long enough to allow him to take two
or three negatives with the camera he
carries about with him. He pleads
scientific interest as an excuse for his
barbarity, but so far he has nothing
even scientific to show in self-defense,
for, being poor hand at photography,
his attempts to fix the horror and
anguish of violent death on his mega
tives have been abortive. The Provost
Marshal's methods were so leisurely
that the absence of results is surpris.
ing. Having had the prisoners drawn
up in line against the wall, he would
station the firing platoon before them
and get the camera into position and
calmly prepare his plates. The officer
commanding the soldiers was instructed
not to give the fatal signal till the plate
was exposed. Thus the most interest
ing negatives were obtained at the very
moment of the prisoners death agony.

Indian Lake Villages About Mexico.

Clustered in around tn body of the
lake are numerous Indian villages,
some of them half in the water and
half out. There are villages and clus-
tiers of huts on the little islands far out
in the lake, and causeways lead here
and there from swamp to swamp, from
shore to shore. and from village to vii
lage. For miles the country IN every
direction seems to be half water and
half land, and it is difficult to say just
where the lake begins and the land
ends. The inhabitants of these water
towns are mostly fishermen and duck
hunters. They seldom 60 out of their
swamps, and have retained more of
the characteristic, of the Aztec tribes,
as the Spaniards found them, than any
other Indians of the valley. They still
retain their aboriginal tongue, and
many of them have no knowledge what
ever of Spanish. They are shy of
strangers, and look with suspicion and
distrust upon the traveller who ventures
into their haunts. In habits and man
ner of living they are as simple and
rude as were their forefathers centuries
ago, and Their bare, comfortless huts
suggest beaver haunts and blackbird
nests among the tules. Notwithstand-
ing all this, they are as healthy and as
happy as any people L have seen. In
order to live it is not cessary to work
hard, and they sing drink pulque, and
skip about from hut to hut in their lit
tie boats, as merry as the mud-larks
and as careless of the morrow.

A young man appeared before a
Texas Justice of the Peace and invoked
his assistance to enable him to get rid
of somebody who was in one of his
no Uses, and who refused to move out,
not paying any rent.
"lou don't need my assistance" said
the Justice. "Just notify the party
fifteen days before the end of the month
to leave the premises"
"Yes, but the party is my mother-in-
law"
"That makes no difference. You are
not obliged to keep her in the house.
Tell her to get up and git"
"Yes, but my wife takes sides with
her, and both of them have combined
and put me out of the house. They
put me out through second-story win
dow, too"
"You are not required to stand that
kind of treatment"
Excuse me, Judge, but are you q
married man."
NO"
Then there is no use trying to ex-
plain the case to you. You will not be
able to understand it. I'll wait until
you have entered into the holy bonds
of matrimony. "-Terds SJtings.

MANOR GENERAL JOHN POPE will now
soon retire from active service, and his
successor will be named by the Presi-
dent. 1t will hardly b, Gen. Howard,
who is senior Brigadier General; and
if Gen. Crook achieves success he
will probably receive the promotion.
But there is strong influence at work
in favor of the promotion of that gal
liant Bostonian, Gen. Miles, who is the
youngest of the Brigadier Generals.
Rising in the army by his own exer-
tons, he has proved himself natural
born soldier. and more than that, he is
a thorough politician. Marrying Miss
Sherman, niece of the old General,
and sister of the wife of Senator
Cameron, he is backed by the powerful
Sherman and Cameron influences, and
as q Democrat he has the friendship of
President Cleveland, who speaks of
him with great admiration.
