Surprise Party.

On Thursday night, February l6, Mr..
V. c. Walton, station agent at Middle
branch, and wife, were completely sur
prised when the people of the village to
the number of forty, entered their
home and took possession, running
things to suit themselves. A sumptu-
GUS supper was prepared by the ladies,
to which all did ample justice. Rev
Williamson was then commissioned on
behalf of the friends, to present Mr.
Walton with a splendid Oxford Bible
as a proof of their appreciation of his
worth as a station agent and as a
christian man. Captain H, H. HOusel
presented him with very fine French
Briar Pipe: the ladies gave Mrs. Walton
a magnificent quilt; and the children
also came in for their share of presents
After a short time spent in social chat
the people went to their homes, wish.
ing much prosperity to Mr.. Walton
and family in their new home, to which
they will move next week.

Now that the Monnot school book
bill has passed the House it behooyes
every citizen who is in favor of it tC
instruct their Senators to urge its i'm
mediate passage in the Senate. The
difficulty that the bill is liable to en-.
counter now is the danger of its being
killed by amendments. Already suit
stitute has been introduced into the
Hou by Col. Poorman, who was the
only man who voted against it on its
final passage. The people all over the
State should petition their Senators at
once to pass the bill.

found those who have trusted to his skill and
who can bear witness to the efficacy of his
treatment, and the thoroughness and per-
manency of the cures he effects, even in those
cases which other physicians have long since
pronounced incurable. This fact alone ought
to convince the most skeptical. Those who
from year to year have been putting off the
treatment which they know they need, should
no longer doubt the evidence of their own
senses. What greater proof do they want of
physicians skill than they have of DR.. Alberts?
Success is the test of merit and DR.. Albert'S
success is as remarkable as it is substantial.

CHINESE GAMBLERS.
A Description Of Fan Tan ~ Played BY
the Pigtails of Los Angeles.

Description Of Fan Tan ~ Played by
| the Pigtails of Los Angeles.
Fan tan is very simple game and is very
fair. There seems to be no opportunity to
cheat. The dealer, says the Los Angeles
American Paradise, takes his seat on tho
bench and opens the game. He is thick
| set Chinaman, with broad and repulsive
face. He wears q dull and sleepy express
! sion from excessive opium-smoking, but he
is far from stupid. he conducts himself
with great dignity, and looks with a
naughty glance at the wash-men and gam
blers who crowd about the board. anxiously
waiting for the game to open.
| He takes bag Of "cash'' from the pocket
of his blouse and draws long, tapering
wand from the ample folds of his sleeve.
He draws from another pocket metal
! cover which looks like the cover of a butter
| dish. All these he places on the mating
| which covers the table. In the middle of
| the table just under the gas jet IS a square
painted on the mating. The lamp or gas
jet is covered with tin screen which
shields the eyes of the dealer and throws
the rays of light directly on the center of
the table This is the only light in the room.
The effect is q peculiar one. The dealer
opens his bag and empties his pile of cash
on the table. He takes handful from
it and places them on the mating
near the square and covers them
| with the metal cover referred TO- The bets
are then made, the money wagered being
placed on the different corners of the
square. The dealer then takes up his long
wand, and with a point dexterously draws
out four coins at time. The number left
after he has drawn ont the last four s'cash''
that can BE- drawn from the pile determines
the disposition OF the bets. If one coin or
''cash" 10 left corner number one wins; if
two CASH are left, corner number two
wins; if three ''cash' corner number three
wins, and it four are left, corner number
four wins, and all other corners lose. The
players bet against the bank, the winners
getting one for one and the losers losing,
Of course.
Fan tan is simply betting on the equaliza~
tion Of coins.
There aro, Of course rules governing the
game, by which bets are made conditional
These bets are siguihed by 'icoppering," if
that term may be used, by strips Of red
leather and black and white beans. When
wager is made and large sum is staked,
it is the custom to roll up the money and
place it in 81 ':blind bet.' If the bet should
win, the cashier of the game counts the
money and gives the player an equal sum,
and, if it loses, the cash is dumped into the
capltal ct tlae game.

Wrinkle ON Wrinkles.

1t is customary to say that wrinkles come
from, worrying, but the truth is that most
of them come from laughing. To know how
to laugh is just as important as to know
when to do it. Ii you laugh with the sides
OF your face the skin will work loose in
time and wrinkles viii form i'll exact ac-
cordance With what kind Of laugh you have.
The nun who always wears smirk will
have series of semi-circular wrinkles COW
s:ring his cheeks. When gambler, who
has been accustomed to suppressing his
feelings, laughs, deep line forms on each
side of his nose, and runs to the upper
corner Of his mouth In time this line ex-
tends to his chin and assumes the shape of
half moon. A csdaverous person with 3
wax-like skin is very apt to have two
broadly-marked wrinkles, one running up
from the jaw and the other under the eye.
These meet at right angles at the cheek
bono and look as though they formed knot
1T the apex The scholar's wrinkles form
on his brow, while the scheming politicians
come round his eyes, where they look for
al the world like the spokes Of wheel

UMBRELLA STUDIES.
A New Way Of Studying the Character Of

1OQr FE1ONOS.
There is curious thing which one may
notice on q rainy day. 1t is the way in
which the manner Of carrying an umbrella
reflects the character Of the individual
Most men, indeed, have q stereotyped COM
mon-place way Of bearing the emblem OF
our civilization; they grasp the umbrella by
the lowermost extremity Of its handle, ex-
tending the thumb upward on the inner
side, and tipping the umbrella backward q
little SO that considerable portion Of its
weight bears upoo this thumb This is =
very good way to carry an umbrella, and
the Boston Transcript Listener, in the course
of tolerably long walk in the rain, noticed
about fo1r out OF. five men carry it that
way The fifth is apt to seize it squarely
about the handle, without any upturned
thumb; and, What is a rather unaccount-
able thing, four out of Ave women carry it
in this way.
Why should men tend to stick up their
thumbs on umbrella handles, while women
do not? The Listener will not undertake to
account for it any more than he will for the
fact, which he had also noticed, that the
male sex, which ordinarily is in all things
less perceptive and sagacious than the fe~
male sex, tends to project an umbrella in
the direction from which tho rain or the
sun comes, aad thus get the maximum Of
protection FOE the body, while women have
a tendency to hold an umbrella or parasol
in fixed direction always, either straight
up or over one shoulder, permitting access
to good deal Of storm and sun which
might be excluded.
The actual idiosyncracies OF individuals in
the matter OF carrying umbrellas, however,
are more easily accounted for. Some indi-
viduals are bound to be very individual, and
such have a strictly individual way of car-
rying an umbrella, as well as Of doing every
thing else. Some hold it with grasp
well toward the top Of their heads.
Some put it back over their shout
ders, and march through crowd regard
less OF consequentcollisions. Others run to
the opposite extreme, and carry it edge
wise, in order not to incommode anybody,
and 80 manage to get the ribs of their UNI
brellas entangled with umbrellas and
clothes OF half the passers-by, and others
put it away up in the air, in a lortlly way,
above the tops Of all other umbrella.
