The Game of "Craps."

The little game of ''craps," that pet
OF the southern darky, is having a
great run of popularity just now in the
north, says the N. Y. Tribune. Il
was travelling on q steamboat last
week." said New Yorker the other
day, ''and jolly party of fellows start
ed the game in the smoking-room after
| dinner. Soon three or four other
games were started, and before long
almost every man on board who smok-
ed was deep in the fascinating fluctua-
tions of craps. After an hour or so of
uproarious fun most of the PLAYERS
dropped out and all the interest CEN
tered in one game, where the luck of a
big old canal-boat owner had proved
almost phenomenal. When I noticed
him he was already about $15 ahead
of the game but he was playing
against three other fellows who were
seemingly tireless and were determin-
ed to win back their losses before
stopping. The winner yawned repeat
edly and threw the dice with extreme
deliberation, every now and then sug-
gestlng that it was about time to go to
bed. But his opponents insisted on
continuing the game and winning back
a portion at least of their losses, and
the crowd sided with them. All the
time. however, the old fellow contin-
ued to win.
about midnight somebody suggest
ed that something to eat would be
agreeable. This was the winners
chance. If anybody brings food into
this room,' he said solemnly, 4 shall
play no longer. I'm not going to be
hoodooed in that way. Even biscuit
brought into this saloon would change
my luck entirely, and maintain that
under such circumstances l am not
bound in honor to continue the game
His opponents were mighty hungry
and so were the spectators, and most
of the latter were sleepy too. Some of
them went off to bed, but others,
prompted by curiosity to see how long
the old mans run of luck would con-
tinue, determined to see it out. On
went the play, the two luckless game
sters losing more and more. They
were hungry enough and awfully
thirsty, but at every mention of a
drink the old fellow would clamor
against the 'hoodoo' of bringing any
form of liquid or solid nourishment
into the room, vowing he would stop
INV hL OdSC IL ouCl d LUluG were
done. Finally went to bed, leaving
the winner still winning and the losers
still losing, and all nearly dropping off
their chairs with hunger, sleepiness,
and thirst.
Next day inquired how the game
had resulted, and was told that at
about 2 a. m. the old fellow had thun-
dered out: If anybody here even looks
hungry l will play no longer. I am
not going to have my luck 6oodooed in
that way Then he won few more
dollars and insisted that if any man
yawned he would stop the game.
Every man gritted his teeth, suppressed
his yawn, and watched the winner
rake in another dollar Then the old
man yawned long and deep himself,
apologized for SO doing, saying that it
was impossible to prevent it, but that
his luck had been hoodooed by the
misfortune, and under those circum-
stances no gentleman would insist on
his playing longer. He then went to
bed with all the winnings, and did not
come out of his stateroom again till
the losers had gone ashore"

"Hurrah."

'What was the origin of the ex-
clamation ''hurrah?" There are few
words still in use which can boast such
a remote and widely extended preva-
lence as this. 1t is one of those inter-
iections in which sound so echoes sense
that men seem to have adopted it al
most instinctively. In India and Cey-
Ion the mahouts and attendants of bag
gage elephants cheer them along by q
perpetual repetition of ''Hur-re-re!
Hur-re-rer, The Arabs and camel
drivers in Turkey, Palestine, and
Egypt encourage their animals to speed
by shouting ''Ar-re, ar-re!" The
Moors in Spain drive their mules and
horses with cries of 'Arre!" In France
the sportsman excites his hounds by
his shouts of ''Har-re, har-rer The
herdsmen of Ireland and Scotland
shout 'Hurrish! Hurrish" to the stock
they are driving. 1t is evident an ex-
clamation common to many notions,
and is probably corruption of "Tur-
aier' CThor rid) a battle cry of the
ancient Norseman, who called upon
Thor, the god of thunder, to aid them
in their strifes

Some Things Never in Fashion.

There are some things that are never
in fashion. although the enterprising
shopman may fill his windows with
them. One is green gloves; if one
green glove can be worse than another
of white kid set in them. These never
were and never will be fashionable, and
do not let anybody induce you to spend
your money on them.
Then while scarlet crepe bonnets and
scarlet trimmings are in good taste,
leave all red hats, specially the large
ones, to the people in the nursery.
Arrange your red coloring in some
other way and do not have it all in a
hat. La Mode never approves of
them.
Then do not believe that black, grays
and browns are to be forgotten for
some odd shade of green, pink, or blue;
the first are always in good taste.
Peculiar tints are never to be desired
unless one has wardrobe in which
gowns are very numerous.
Do not be persuaded into buying
anything. Think out before you start
what you want, and endeavor to get it.
The penance of wearing unbecoming
and unsuitable costumes, OF adjuncts,
is trying one; so be wise, and by
choosing judiciously do not put your
self in a position that will involve your
having to undergo it. Sackcloth and
ashes mean happiness as compared
with silk and tulle for all hours and
occasions. - Mrs. Nation, IN Ladies
Home Journal.

The African Problem.

The solution of the African problem
is not yet. 1t is one thing to cast lots
for African provinces, but quite another
to realize them when cast. A deadly
climate, dark jungles, and vast deserts,
to say nothing of the treacherous Afri-
can himself, are all potential agents
to bar the progress of greater forces
perhaps than even England and Ger
many can employ. And then it is by
no means certain that the German eagle
and the British lion are to live peace
ably together in Africa. Their inter-
ests are widely apart; and besides, the
latter is not likely to forgive the Ger
man for presuming upon taking half
of those stolen honors.
The protectorate at Zanzibar may

David B Hill, present Governor oi New York, is generally recognized by leading Democratic papers, as the proper man to nominate for the Presi- dency in 1892. We have read ex. tracts from fifty four papers of the various States of the Union, which in effect give tongue to the realization that he possesses the electrical quali- ties that can so sclidify the party as to insure a Democratic victory. Later extracts show that partizans papers are joining the procession.
 It, however, is not probable that James G, Blaine will find Democratic Hill between him and the White House, for the reason that the Cleveland and Hill wings of the Democracy of New York have drawn the sword and en- gagged in intensified fraternal strife. and so hopeless of reconciliation that either Cleveland or Hill carrying the State Is at least problematical, and for that reason, doubtless, some other State will be honored by the nomination.

IL is claimed that in little while the Alliance will have grip on the situa- ton In almost every corner of Uncle Sam's domain, but its extrayagant de- mands on the federal government will initiate against its continued success.

 The Indian question is a simple one and easily understood by those having knowledge of Indian character, vet there are those who never saw an In. dian who are entrusted with the direc- tion of their management. Tribal re- lations should be broken up, lands ill seyeralty should be allotted them and they, like white men, be forced to labor for subsistence, and as in the case with the Chiricahuas, the incorrigible ones should be deported to where their in- fuence could not effect injury.

ARizoSa's uNEQuALLED CLIMATE

In the combination of those meteor
 ological conditions which go to make
 up salubrious climate, Arizona leads all other divisions of the United States,
 as the records of the Government Sig
 nal Service abundantly attest, While
 Arizona may be said to possess two dis
 tinct climatic zones, showing a wide variance of temperature, owing to a difference of altitude, yet these desirable conditions prevail to an eminent degree throughout the Territory, viz; A re- markably dry atmosphere, an unusual ly great number of clear days, and exemption from sudden and extreme changes of temperature.
 The records of the Sigual Service for nine years at Fort Grant, Camp Thom- as, Fort Apache, Prescott and Yuma, give the percentage of relative humidity at those stations at 4l, 5l, 54, 5l, 45- an average for the five stations of AS. 4, which will approximate very closely the average for the entire Territory. The significance of this exhibit is ap- parent when it is known that in the whole country covered by the U. $. Signal Service only eleven other sta tions, divided among six States and Territories, show relative humidity of 56 or less.
 'Fhe land of sunshine" as applied to Arizona, has become somewhat trite, yet its appositeness is apparent It is q well established fact that in many portions of our Territory the sun shines every day in the year, while at no point, probably, is il entirely ubscured more than two or three days in the three hundred and sixty-fve. Accord ing to the records, Yuma, Arizona, en- joys greater amount of sunshine than any other spot on the North American continent. The record there for twelve years shows an average of 2774 clear days, and 78 fair days, and the least number of clear days recorded in the Territory is 2l0.3 at Fort Grant, which is also credited with an average of III fair days in the year.
 Among the fifteen stations in the United States having the least daily differences of mean temperature, Yuma and Prescott find place, and their ad- yantages in this respect over other towns in Arizona is so slight as to he scarcely appreciable. Indeed the ex- from sudden and extren changes of temperature, from violent and destructive winds, cyclones, and blizzards is remarkable, guaranteeing complete immunity to life and proper ty from the destructive force of the elements, so frequently witnessed in other less favored sections of the country.
 Without any risk of exaggeratidn, or fear that the statement can be refuted, it may be asserted that for salubrity. tile prevalence of those atmospheric con ditions which conduce to bodily health and comfort, the climate of Arizona is 1 incomparably superior to that of any other portion of the United States.
