The National Game Proves Too Much for the
French Language.
English Edition Of the Paris ulustre.l
But if these clubs and FIVE or six more
which might be named lead joyous lives
and, above all, joyous nights, several others
appear to vegetate. That they do SO is
owing to America. The United States that
send their sons over to France, that have
caused fall in farm-rent, have also im-
ported new game, the poker. which re-
duces the receipts of our clubs. Shades of
La Fayette and Rochambeau hide their
faces! Why did you not leave Washington's
compatriots disembroil themselves as best
they could with their mother country?
The poker is indeed a plague for the
Golfers of the clubs and solely because it is
about to supersede baccarat. Impositions
were easily levied on this last game. Ger
tain sums were charged for holding the bank
at such rate, for the packs of cards
burned during the deal, etc. It was the
very ideal of the impost and at the same
time sure and coplous source of yield,
something analogous to tobacco relatively
to duty IN France. In the case of "poker"
it becomes monstrously hard to raise tax
and to tx upon the moment for raising it,
The players continue at the game for long
time. When the caisse has levied duty
it has nothing to do but to look at the
"pokerrites" who remain seated for hours

CHAPTER III.

There was still dim light in the sky, but
the lamps were lighted in the car. People
were preparing for the nights journey, men
were reading the evening papers as though
every moment was a consideration, and in a
seat opposite woman was trying to soothe
a baby, while another little one cIung to
her begging to be taken into her lap.
"a pleasant lookout for the night, I said
to Margaret in voice much too fat and
empty to be natural.
''They are almost dead with sleep now,"
said she. and in a moment what did she do
but cross over and take the baby and toss it
in her young, strong arms. The baby felt
the change from the lax, nervous grasp of its
mother, and burst into a growing laugh,
while the elder child, interested, stopped
whining and Joined in the merriment. How
did Margaret happen to have a sweet cracker
in the shape of horse in her pocket? She

came to her ss all her other fairy gifts did,
and il comforted more of us than the baby
and the baby's brother. That horse cantered
and walked. 1t hid itself, it jumped out of
queer places, and was finally dissected and
doled out in the most minute and everlast-
ing particles. To see Margaret so full of
resources did not surprise me. I was much
too used to her fertility and freshness to
wcnder at it, but her light laugh, the firm
gentleness with which she managed both
mother and children, as though she had no
other care nor thought, did make me realize
that the unexpected is the woman. I had
fancied I should have to comfort and sus-
tain her, but, behold, she was not only
in good spirits, but she took it for
granted that shared her resolute pushing
back OF fears that would awaken, and before

THE BLEEcKER STREET MISSION.

Pleasanter is the story of busy editorial
woman who found herself obliged to go
down Bleecker street late one evening on
some errand of help, doubt not. Passing
one OF the missions lately established in that
crowded quarter, hymn sung by cultivated
voices rang sweetly on the air. Opposite
were basement drinking places with dozen
tening thoughtfully to the music, not one Of
whom stirred from his place or uttered
word till it ended. Perhaps the missions
may sing the liquor shops shut. The music
in these Bleecker street meetings is said to
be very fine. A young man from the same
number inl our block felt put out about
something in the family circle one Sunday
night, and tdpunish the rest went off to the
mission out ofcuriosity. He came home in
q much subdnAd hunor, declaring that the
singing was fbe most touching be ever

In answer to many inquiries, the direc-
tions for charcoal and taraxacum treatment
are given tor the last time, this year at any
rate. The first dose of powdered charcoal
may be dessert spoonful, freshly mixed in
water, milk or syrup, taken on rising, az
soon as the teeth are brushed, which should
be one of the first operations Of the toilet.
This gives the charcoal time to absorb i'm
purities from the stomach before eating.
After this a teaspoonful of taraxaeum ex-
tract after meals, till the face is clear and
the digestion good. A pint of taraxacum
extract is not too much for the system, but
it is advisable TO leave it off every fourth
week and then resume. One dessert spoon
full of mandrake extract may be added to
the pint of taraxacum with good effect,
pouring it into the same bottle and shaking
we'll. Taraxacum is the extract of dandelion
root, standard medicine of old practice and
highly esteemed now by very careful physi-
clans for its effects on the skin, liver and
kidneys. The inquiry after its use for
fortnight usually is what have you been
taking 70 make your skin so fair" But the
coarse bread and wheat must go with any
treatment to have lasting effects. The
parche6 wheat is not to be cooked, but thor
oughly ground in chewing, when it will be
found regulating and strengthening food.
The prescription quoted to keep the hair
in crimp, of three ounces of gum Arabic to
half pint OF rosewater, is preposterous.
Three ounces is six tablespoonfuls, and that
amount OF gum in half pint Of liquid
would simply transform the hair to threads
of stiff isinglass and ruin it. Cosmetic
receipts fn general do not seem to be given
with the slightest idea of the proportions or

JUST AS HE ASKED.

Gradually, as they came to dwell upon
the words with which He had appointed
this memorial, two truths would come more
distinctly into their minds as they broke
the bread and poured the wine.
They would see how the remembrance
touched both the cross and the crown; both
Christ's pain, and Christ's promise; aud so
looked both back and forward.
This, He had said, is Ny body which is
given for you. This is Ny blood, which is
shed for you. Thus they would remember
the cross. 1t is not very likely that at first
these words suggested anything more
