FACTS /!

The time is past when the mere fact that a
serviceable piece o: goods is made up strong
into suit satisfies the carer. The ad-
dltional fact that the garment ssets smoothly
rails to suit those who have good judgment in
dress. Those who understand how TO dress
well, know that effect in a garment so diff.
cult to define, called stvle, is what is REQUIRED

skill of the cutter and the workmen who
make the garment. This skill of the cutter

The walls of the reservoir of the Augusta
Water Co. are up to their full height, with
the exception Of one or two places w ich are
left so that teams can reach the top of the
embankment. The lining, which is a layer
of clay upon the interior slope extending
from the bottom of the reservoir about half
way to the top, is nearly completed on three
sides. Paving has been started and one side
is partially completed. The paving will
cover all of the inside slope, and be sixteen
inches in thickness. First gravel is laid,
after which come stones, averaging perhaps
foot square. The excavating will be finish
ed this week. The bottom will not be paved,
but several spots where the water might
sink through will be puddled over with a
thin LAYER of clay. The reservoir is to be
completed by cold weather, although it will
be too cold to sod the outer slope this season.

A POKER PLAYERS RIGHT.
Judge Brown Decides an Interesting
Point i'm PODular Game,

VAh' Ia "a Vpuiai UuhSs
New YORK, October 24.-Judge
Brown, of the City Court, gave a
decision this morning in a case that
will interest all players Of the game
of draw poker. The suit was brought
by Charles H. Mcguire, a tailor,
against Richard Meares, proprietor
of the Hotel Royal, on Fortieth
street and Sixth avenue, to recover
$400 which Mcguire claimed to have
placed in his hands as stakeholder.
The plaintiff declared that in Octo-
Der, 1888, he went to the hotel, and
at the request of the landlord joined
a draw-poker party. Mr.. Meares
was not one Of the players, but when
Mcguire lost heavily he accepted
the tailor's check to pay the win
ners with. A few evenings later
Mcguire won, and the next morning
he asked Meares for some money
which he claimed to be due him,
but was told by the latter that he
knew nothing about it. Mcguire
then began suit to recover what
he had lost, on the ground that
Meares was stake holder under the
statue relating to betting and gam
ing. Judge Browne has dismissed
his complaint, with costs.
He says that the money was only
handed to Meares after the loss was
made. The plaintiffs consent and
direction were fully given, and the
defendant in complying with such
direction, was a mere agent of the
plaintiff to dispose of his money as
he directed and the defendant car.

When the young couple first &C

and practical experience tides them
over the rough places?

1t is the woman's mother-in-law
who is most apt to criticise, and who
exasperates the young wife by quo
ting, all too frequently, "My son is
used to having things thus and so"
"My son must have this or that for
his meals" "My son, with his small
income, should have married pru-
dent, economical woman" etc.
When the first baby makes its

Perseverance and Intelligence of the
Horse

A remarkable instance of the sa-
gacity of a mare has come to our
notice. John Fletcher owns a mare
which runs in a pasture adjoining
his house. The mare has a young
colt at her side. A few nights since,
after Mr.. Fletcher had retired, he
was aroused by the mare coming to
the window of his house and by
paving, neighing and in every way
possible trying to get his attention.
This continuing for some time he
got up and went out and drove her
away and returned again to bed, but
she Immediately returned and, if
possible, increased her demonstra-
tions. He again went out, when the
mare came up to him and rubbed
her nose against him, although al
ways before she had been very shy,
then ran on few yards before him,
continuing neighing; then, as he did
not follow her, she returned to him
in the most demonstrative manner.
He attempted to drive her of, struck
her with a stick, and followed her
few yards to frighten her away. AS
soon, however, as he turned toward
the house, she returned and tried in
every way to prevent him from doing
so. He then remarked that her colt
was not with her, a fact he had not
noticed before, as it was quite dark.
1t occurred to him then to follow
her, which he did. So soon as she
saw he was doing so, she ran off be-
fore him, stopping every few yards,
turning around. to see that he was
still following, then again running
on, keeping up her calling, until she
reached distant part of the field,
where she stopped at an old "pros-
pect hole On coming up with her,
she again commenced rubbing
dSaluoe Hlhl, anu uIcW HIS dJ-
tention to the hole, where he soon
discovered the colt. 1t appears it
had slipped into it and was unable
to get out, and the mare had taken
this method to obtain assistance.-l
Being unable to get it out alone,
Mr.. Fletcher went for some of his
and with them returned.
While they were taking the little
fellow out, the mare manifested the
most intense delight, and seem
ed almost beside herself with Joy;
and afterward, when the men had
got out Of the hole, she came up to
Mr.. Fletcher, and, placing her nose
on his shoulder, gave every sign of
gratitude that human mother
might under similar circumstances.

Cur Eccentric Language.

The eccentricities of the English
language are often the subject of
foreign dissatisfaction, and form the
obstacle to the most cultured lin
guistic perfection. A Hollander of
education who was lately called up
on to address an American meeting
illustrated the trials in language by
a most natural slip in synonyms
ladies and gentlemen" he said,
feeling his way with care, ''it is great
pleasure for me to speak words to
you. The convention is so home
like to me, and the people of the
convention are so pleasant and so
homely." At this point subdued
laugh interrupted him, but as he
proceeded it was evident that he
was innocent of the turn his COM
pliment had taken.
