Around the Roulette Table.

1t is interesting to watch n roulette LAY

around it. | cropped in on one the other
night The center of attraction, of course,
is always the "bg winner" In this instance
he was a young fellow about .6. He
was heavy player, too, for, though he never
had less than $500 i'll different bets at every
turn, he smoked his cigar .cisurely and lolled
back in his chair unconcerncdly while the
ball spun around. But lie never uttered =
word, and no matter which way fortune
went, his features were wholly without ex
preston. The man who bet on "combina-
tions" sat next to him, gaIrulous about the
infallibility of his scheme, but paying into
the bank more than half the time.
Then there was the single number" man,
who thought that his selection would certain
ly turn up once out of thirty-five times; and
next to him was the red and black fiend,
who is satisfied with even money, and never
bets on anything else. The scientific player,
who has figured the percentage" down to n

Curious Freak of LADY Franklin.

When Lady Franklin, the widow of Sir
John Franklin, of Arctic fame, was visiting
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Childs, III Philadelphia,
she took to their house her own bedstead, bed
ding, candlestick and teapot, well the
other luggage with which she had been trav-
cling about the world, and actually used all
these things of her own while in their home
Mrs. Childs, having company to meet Lady
Franklin at a meal, was mortified to see q
most disreputable-looking, shabby teapot on
the table, and was about to order its removal
when the servant whispered to her that it be-
longed to Lady franklin, who had asked her
to have her own tea made in it. Lady Frank
lin carried no trunk with her in her travels,
but about twenty packages, large and small,
containing the articles above named and
others accompanied her wherever she went,
whether she stopped in private houses or
hotels. She always used her own property in
preference to the most elegant things provided
for her for similar purposes by host and
hostess.-Cor. Philadelphia Times.

Children Praying to jupiter

Who can tell what ideas children of a ten
der age acquire from what they reads Re-
Gently a mother saw her two children, aged
respectively and years, kneeling in the
middle of the grass plot, with faces upliftsd,
hands clasped, and lips moving evidently in
prayer. Curious to their petitions, she
drew near unseen, and overheard the follow
ing: "Ohl Jupiter, we pray thee ripen the
grapes and send us flowers" This was said
in unison. The younger then added: "Jupi-
ter. send the flowers to-day, just as many as
you can" The older took up the petition,
saying: "Ripen the grapes tomorrow. for we
need them very much" Horriied at this
pagan proceeding, the mother exclaimed:
children, where did you ever hear Of pray
ing to Jupiterir -Oh, we read it in Esop's
fables. and if people prayed to Jupiter then
why cannot we pray to him nowa We want
grapes and flowers now, SO we have been
praying to Jupiter for some time. so that he
will be sure to hear us and give US what we
wantn-New York Commercial Advertiser.

A good melon can be selected without cut
ting it. There are several methods in vogue.
One is to look for heavy melon, because it is
supposed to be full of meat and is not green
and pithy; another is to press the melons and
select the one which cracks internally another
is the played ont theory that any good melon
can be determined by humping; yet another
is to run the finger nail over the surface; tho
outer cuticle of the melon, if ripe, will peel
off readily; pressing with the thumb IS an al
le-ed excellent method; the green melon is
spongy and soft; the ripe melon is solid;
but the best way is to take your melon to
an analytical chemist and have him deter
mine the amount of saccharine matter. II the
per cent. is large, it probably has been a
GOOD melon. Some people are content to
take their melon TO n physician and have
il prol,ed Still Others buy cantelopes instead
at fifteen and twenty-five cents each.-ln'

WATERMELONS IN MISSOURI.
Selling Them to Dealers Along tho Road.
A Quick Sale.

Probably there is no place in the United
States to-day where better waterTnelons arc
raised, or where they are grown with less
labor and expense, than in certain counties OF
southeast Missouri. The melon crop is just
now at its height, and this delicious fruit is
passing our doors daily in car loads. One of
the stations from which much of this fruit is
shipped is Bertrand, which is on the Cairo
branch 1t is not an uncommon sight to see
as many as fifteen or eighteen cars on the sid
ing, waiting to be filled with melons. The
country around Bertram is n rich, sandy
bottom, and melons oftentimes grow to half
the size of men. All the farmers OF that
locality raise more or less melons, and all Of
them invariably do well with the crop. All
the melons shipped from that station go out
in car load lots. A car usually holds ], 500
melons, and the growers sell them to middle
men, or dealers, at from $50 to S125 per car
load. The first fruit that is put in the market
sells at about S125, or a little less than 10
cents each, while later in the season it drops,
until sometimes they even sell as low as $40
Der car or :, cents each. The freight on car
load of melons between Bertrand and st.
Louis is upward of $50, or in the neighbor-
hood of , cents melon.
Dealers from all parts of the country flock
around the locality where melons are sold at
this season. Spectators out of job try to
make few dollars out of the crop by buying
up the fruit in car load lots and selling it
along the road From Bertrand the melon
crop is shipped by local freight. The specu-
lator for instance, starts out of Bertrand
with two cars of melons en- route to St Louis
via Poplar Bluff. The train stops at every
station from five minutes to half an hour to
load and unload freight. This is the melon
mans opportunity. Dealers at all the small
stations understand the lxink and are at the
depots as the '.locarn comes in. Perhaps the
melon car is back quarter of a mile from
the station. But they rush back and are not
long i'm finding the man in charge. If a deal
is made at all it is made mighty quick. This
is about as the. conversation between buyer
and seller would real were it reported YER

"What you gct.'
"Peerless and Mountain Sweet"

And out the watermelons fly. Perhaps by
| the time the fifty melons are all out the train
| has started, and within five minutes from the
| time the train pulled in fifty melons changed
hands, the cash is paid and away the train
| speeds, while the melons are picked up and
! taken to the stores where they retailed al
| from 20 to % cents each. Many carloads
that are shipped il this wise are dealt out
along the line ut small stations to local

How q Woman Reads the Paper.

According to Gertrude Garrison, this is
how she does it: She takes it up hurriedly
and begins to scan 1t over rapidly, Us though
she were hunting some particular thing, but
she is not. She is merely taking in the OBJ
scure paragraphs, which, she believes, were
put in the ut-of-the-way places for the sake
of keeping her from seeing them. As she
finishes each one her countenance brightens
with the comfortable reflection that she has
outwitted the editor and the whole race Of
men, for she cherishes a belief that news
papers are the enemies of her sex, and editors
her chief oppressors. She never reads the
headlines, and the huge telegraph lines she
never sees She is greedy for local news and
devours it with the keenest relish. Marriages
and deaths are always interesting reading to
her, and advertisements are exciting and
stimulating. She cares but little for printed
jokes unless they reflect ridicule upon tho
men, and then she delights in them and never
forgets them She pays particular attention
considers rather better authority than any
thing first handed.
The columns in which the editor airs his
opinions in loaded hifalutin, she rarely reads.
Views are of no Importance in her estimation.
but facts everything. She generally
reads the poetry. She doesn't always care for
it, but makes practice of reading it, because
she thinks she ought to. She reads stories,
and sketches and paragraphs, indiscrimi-
nately, and believes every word of them.
Finally, after she has read all she intends to,
she lays the paper down with an air Of disap-
pointment and a half-contemptuous gesture,
which says very plainly that she thinks all
newspapers miserable failures, but is certain
that if she had a chance she could make the
only perfect newspaper the world has ever
seen-New York Letter

!. BAY RUM ON ICE.


Talk With a Barber-Styles in CombinS
Mems Hair-women Customers.
@Give me some iced bay rum," said a Gus
toner in n Brooklyn barber shop recently to
the tonsorial artist who was putting the finish
ing touches to chair cut" A reporter, who
heard the remark. was curious, and when it
came to his turn to be shaved asked an expla-
nation The barber said:
@During the summer it is actually necessary
to have bay rum cold. New York customers
complained so often that my bay rum did
not give satisfaction that determined to put
a bottle on ice. procured the little ice box
you see yonder, filed it full of ice and placed
in it three bottles of bay rum. In an hour
tho rum was thoroughly cold and fit for use.
The plan works beautifully. The effect OF
iced bay rum on the head during very warm
weather is the same as a shampoo. 1t ceols
the head, and the latter cools the whole body.
OH no. Iced bay rum is not any extra and
comes no higher than ordinary warm bay
rum"
What is the prevailing style of combing
the hair at presentFn
@You would hardly believe it, but the
fashion of combing the hair changes con-
stantly among certain class Of young men
known as 'dudes:' Bangs are no longer popu-
lar with the gilded youth. 1t Is the proper
'capah' not to part the hair. By that mean
tho hair should be allowed to fall about the
head in careless profusion without the slight
est suspicion Of a part. Curly hair is better
adapted to careless dressing. Some then pre-
fer to wear their hair pompadour-that Is,
brushed back from their foreheads. Some
years ago it was quite the rage for dressy
men to part their hair directly in the middle.
This fashion is now, however, but little
affected l have noticed great falling of In
the use Of hair oil and cosmetics. A few years
ago some of my customers would insist on
having their hair plastered down over their
foreheads. Plain vaseline has almost wholly
taken the place Of the highly scented cosmet-
les formerly used.
"Do women have their hair cut by barbersl
Oh, yes have three lady customers who
come hero early on Monday or Friday morn
ings to have their hair cut. They select the
mornings named because they are off days
and but few men are about. My lady Gus
toners all woar short hair, and come to me tC
have it trimmed. The fashion of wearing the
hair short down the back seems to be on the
increase In Brooklyn. i have one male Gus
toner whose beard is SO strong that ar
Obliged to shave him twice q day, morning
and evening. ! have many customers whom
shave daily. The public now asks that it bt
shaved in the midst of luxurious surround
inGs In former years q man didn't much
mind so long rs the barber and his utensils
were clean Now it is different. The chair.
must be elegantly upholstered, a mating o.
carpet must cover the floor and the ensemble
of the shop must remind the customer Of hi
own home. And with the increased expens<
of fitting up such establishments the price o
shaving has remained the same.-Brooklyr
