OLD-TIME GAMBLING.
Some OF the Card Parties That We're
Wont To Assemble in Washington.

Some OF the Card Parties That We're
Wont To Assemble in Washington.
In the old, old times, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, every body prominent in public
life was fond OF cards. Washington was
flooded in those days with gamblers of the
professional sort. There were q dozen faro
banks on the avenue within sight of
Gadsby's, on the corner of Sixth street.
Members of Congress unhesitatingly en-
tered these places. Sergeant Smith Prem
tiss was said TO have lost $50, 900 in his first
term in Congress.
1t was III one Of these places that Henry
Clay won from Count Brodisco the corner
lot up near Lafayette square, which he
afterward traded for an Andaiusian Jack
ass. Fox, the British Minister; General
Scott, Secretary Marcy and score Of
famous men played poker in those times.
President Tyler was fond OF "loo," and
often made up q game at the White House
and played all day. Tho stakes were never
large, but Mr.. Tyler was just as happy as if
he won his thousands. Atone time General
Scott, Henry Clay, Mr.. Fox and. Count
Brodisco entered into compact to play whist
once a week all winter, and tho stake every
night was 100.
They played matched game. Scott and
the old Russian against Clay and the En-
glishman. They were evenly matched, but
Clay and Fox came out ten games ahead.
Scott's loss wns said TO be as much rs 81 200
In this little social amusement. Cd Thad.
Stevens in later days was a famous man at
cards. He didn't hesitate TO go into the
worst gambling resorts to get bis sport.
He played with frigid quiet and coolness,
and in the course of his play kept up con-
slant fro of brilliant conversation. Proba-
bly, there are not twenty-five men now in
Congress who are Mt oil given to card-play-
ing.

Occasions When II Plays : Part IN His
Daily Life.
From casselrs Magazine.

For those who are fond of stats
tics it might be an interesting ques-
tion to compare the profits derived
from the hat trade in France and in
England. Considering the amount
of wear and tear to which the re-
quirements of etiquette must expose
them, we should suppose their manu-
facture to be most lucrative bust
ness. 1t would not be easy to cnum-
crate all the occasions where the
hat plays a part in the owners daily
life. Does Frenchman meet a
lady of his acquaintance, not content
with raising his hat at the begin
ming and end of the conversation, he
will patiently stand in all weathers
with uncovered head until the fair
one is pleased to bring the inter
view to closet Do men, not on
intimate terms, wish to exchange
civilities, off go both hats again.
Whenever, too, they enter a house,
or shop. or any office, or a public
conveyance, there is the same in
evitable ceremony, or offense may be
given Even if strange lady pass

hotel or private house, a slight ele-
walton of the hat mnst mark the
Difference due to her sex. Much of
this may appear to us matter-o
fact folks almost puerile and super
tluous Most, however, will admire,
and be inclined to initiate, the rever-
renee for sorrow and death express
ed by uncovering the head at q
passing funeral. There is delicate
touch of nature in this simple act

When to Sell Fattened Cows.

One difficulty in selling fattened
COWS arises from trying to dispose OF
them at the time of the year when
the market is glutted. with beef
Butchers, as a rule, do not like to
handle COW beef, hut during May,
June and July, much of the winter
fattened stock has been worked of
and the market is bare The farmer
who has MIXED and fed literally a
milk COW until the other cows came
in calf in April, will have her in
good order for feeding when turned
out to grass. Americda Culticator
recommends continuance of grain
feed five or six weeks, and so soon
as the milking is stopped the COW
will fatten rapidly and make sweet,
tender beef. This is great deal
better than selling the COW thin in
flesh in the fall for a song. A far.
row COW well fed will more than pay
her way during the winter, besides
making good heap of valuable ina
nure. The extra feeding while be-
ing MIXED gives such vigor to the
digestive organs, that old cows when
dried off after such an experience
will fatten very rapidly. This quick
fattening is the secret of making
good and tender lcef.

Chicken Gapes.


The gapes is exceedingly common
disease among chickens and there
are numerous so-called remedies.
Among these are: Inserting a small
feather just moistened with turpen-
tine into the windpipe and twisting
the feather sharply previous to with
drawing it; carbolic fumes, mixing
garlic and asafetida in the birds
food and little salicylic acid in
the drinking water. Beale recon
mends placing the chicks in box
and busting them well with fine lime,
which gets into the throat and
makes the birds cough, thus bring
ing out the worms which occasion
the gapes. This treatment must not
be continued long enough to suffo,
cate the birds. The Rural Nem
Yorker says that simple method
of curing the gapes in chicks, and
one that is successful in the hands
of some persons, is TO pinch the
windpipe. With the left hand hold
the head or the bird up aud the
neck straight, and with the thumb
and finger of the right hand pinch
the windpipe smartly, slightly
rolling it. Begin as low down as
possible and follow it upward to the
mouth. Be careful to release it
frequently to give the bird a chance
to cough up the crushed parasites.

Cheap and i,urable Fence

Now is the time to begin to think
of the fences, and u cheap and dura
bic fence is DIES ribed as follows
1t can be made Of either boards oil
rails. Set the POSTS so that til,
boards or rails are Tapped across
them. A No. 8 wire is cut long
enough to wrap four times around
each post. The wire is first stapled
to the side of the post near the top
is crossed in front of boards, Their
back of, and again around the post,
staple being dri' en- in at each poin,
where the wire crosses the point
under the first staple. The boards
are then drawn snugly against the
posts, by driving in ten penny wire
nail close to the wire, and just
above the upper edge of the board
About three fourihs of an inch is
protruding; this is turned down by
two blows of the hammer which
hooks the nail over the wire and
draws it close to the posts, holding
the boards or rails solid There is
no danger of splitting the ends of
the boards by mailing and they can
not wrap off. In building fence
with rails, the posts are set 10 feet
apart, the rails can be spotted
and Tapped the same way as boards,
or they may be put on opposite sides
of the post A fence wired together
in this style may be made of ordin-
airy fence boards, l6 feet long. In
this case, the posts are set Is feet
apart from the centers, to allow for
the lap of the boards at their ends.
They should be put on the posts SO
as to "break joints with each other.

Goods in Silks, Velvets,
Pushes & Dress Goods
Are coming in every day.

You can travel all over this coun-
try and not find an assortment that
will surpass ours in variety and
quality and reasonable prices.
The early buyers are never dis
appointed; late ones often are.
Many Of these dress fabrics we
will not have in stock again this
season; by delaying to send for
samples you may miss satisfac-
tory selection.
Our sales early in the season
are always very large, as buyers
like to purchase from complete
stock.
September is the best month to
buy dress goods and here is the
best place. /.
Samples sent and orders for
goods filled the same day they are
received.

it is 4 long keeper; the quality il
sweet and excellent. The flesh parts
from the pit perfectly.
Clover hay can be used to adyan-
tage as summer feed if the crop is
large. Hay should not be sold, but
fed on the farm.
Running roses most be tied up to
the supports as fast as they send up
shoots, they do not climb, but must
be fastened in place.
As soon as the peach and pear
crops are off, cultivate among the
trees to kill out the grass and weeds,
in order to save labor next season.
Dablias fall to the ground if the
growth is rank To grow them prop
erly they should be planted in Gins
tiers, with wire on the outside.
Next month lawn grass seed may
be sown for the spring crop of lawn
grass. Spade the ground well and
rake the seed in, but cover very light
ly.
As soon as the sweet corn becomes
too hard for family use the stalks
soould be cut down, as the fodder is
then in the best possible condition
for stock.
In saving tomato seed select the
largest, smoothest and ripest speci-
mems and reject all that are not SOL
id. BY SO doing they will improve
in quality each season.
For roofs that are not Very steep
tarred paper is better than shingles,
but shingles should be used in all
cases where the roof in steep enough
to allow the water to flow quickly.
The bush Lima bean has been
tested this season. While it has
the bush habit, and requires no
poles, yet it lacks the quality of the
large Lima 1t is alec small, and
can he best used as bean for soup.
Turnips should be harvested by
pulling them up. Do not bruise
them if it can be avoided. Cut the
tops away from the bulbs and feed
the leaves to stock. Let the crop re
main in the ground until late before
harvesting.
AT this season the farmer should
haul to the barn or some suitable
place large supply Of dry earth to
be used during the winter. 1t is ex-
cellent as an absorbent of liquid
manures, and largely assists in dis
injecting the stalls.
Moulting hens should be given a
feeding Of linseed meal two or three
times week. If fed exclusively on
corn or wheat the hens will become
debilitated and droop. A mess of
chopped meat occasionally is also
excellent.

Notes.

Wood ashes are largely used by
farmers as top dressing for mead
ows. Spread at the rate of about
fifty bushels per acre.
Plaster is one of those fertilizers
which have a remarkable effect upon
some soils, while in other places il
has no effect at all.
Dairy cattle should have access to
salt every day, and salt should bt
added daily to all their stable feed
according to Prof Robertson.
Poultry houses should be white
washed, inside and out, two or three
times year. Into the whitewash
for the inside of the house put little
glue Or teacup full of salt boiled
rice to pail of whitewash, and also
add ten or twelve drops of crude
carbolic acid, as safeguard against
yermin.
