Circumstances Which Show That Cheat
ing Is Commonly Practiced.
On very moderate estimate, ont OF
every hundred men who play high at
games of pure chance at least three
cheat, and out of every hundred women
at least six. They do not always cheat,
but every now and then, when they
think that no one is looking, they, as
the Americans say, play with the adj
vantages.' If anyone would take the
trouble to count up the number of per-
sons who live year after year far above
their incomes, and who play habit
ually at games of chance. and yet are
never in debt, he will perceive that
they must cheat, for at no game Of
pure chance can habitual player win
year after year. 1t is simply impossi-
BILE, it he does not give himself some
little advantage over his opponents
The advantage, however, need not be
above or 3 per cent. for him to make
a good thing out of his playing. At
baccarat, for instance, a person playing
e1O each coup would stake in an hour
at least $500, and 2 per cent. of this
would insure him 96 per hour. If he
plays frequently the luck of one hour
would balance the ill-luck of another,
so that if he were to play 200 hours in
the year his annual revenue from cards
would be 81, 2O0.-London Truth.

KOrak Customs.

Some peculiar customs of Korak. in
the peninsula of Kamschatka, are re-
ported by the noted Russian explorer,
Mr.. George KEENAN,. There, the
young man who would marry has to
work two or three years for his pros
pective father-in-law, and then win his
bride by catching her in chase
through the tents, in which the girl is
supposed to be fleeing from him, as
sisted in her flight by other women
who at the same time hinder her pur-
suer and beat him numerically with
their sticks. Another queer custom is
that of putting to death their sick and
old; but Mr.. KEENAN, found that those
advancing in years look forward to
this end with as much com placency as
we do to natural death.

night.
Yes, sir. What can do for you?'

Smith two hundred and forty pounds.
And Green's desire to be represented
as having left was no longer a mys-
tery.-Washingto Post.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS,
STURT'S COTTON PLANT,

Ono of tho Most Valuable Fodder Plants
of Australia.
Town and Country has within the
last two years illustrated many native
fodder plants of that Australasian coun-
try. Sturt's cotton plant (Gossypium
Sturtii) was lately illustrated in that
journal, and as it is said to be found in
the most arid portion of Queensland
and other territory, we have repro
duced the engraving, thinking the plant
may be valuable in the warm and arid
regions of the United States. Town
and Country describes the plant as fol-
lows:
Our illustration shows rather tall
growing shrub, which is more or less
marked all over with black dots The
leaves are arranged on long stalks, and
are broadly ovate in outline, entire,
firm and glaucous, the latter character
often giving the plant slightly silvcry
appearance which is quite feature
in the landscape. The large flow
ers are arranged on short stalks in
the upper leaf axis. At Fig. 1
is illustrated an open flower. the nat
ural color of which is purple with a
dark center, each petal being about
two inches long. The capsule is ovoid,
and copiously marked with black dots.
The seeds are very sparingly enveloped

SILKS FOR THE SEASON.
Ha ndsOme and Fashionable Fabrics for
Spring Costumes.

spring Costumes.
The fancy for a corded effect in silk,
judiciously fostered by the introduction
of the handsome faille Franchise, has
grown by what it fed on, and with the
increasing demand for silks of heavy
rep-finish, manufacturers have bestirrcd
themselves to supply novelty, season
after season.
The leading silks, therefore, are now
to be found almost exclusively in i'm
ported goods. AS an experienced silk
buyer says: Thirty years ago when I
was looking for novelties, I went to
Lyons; and to-day l go to Lyons for
novelties" The bengalines, bengal
lines de sole, and veloutines, which
are characterized by one, two and three
cords respectively, are importations.
Bengaline is one of the seasons favor
ties, and in all the popular colors COM
bines so richly with the elegant cloths
and velvets, for street wear. that it is
not surprising it should have so pleased
the taste of fastidious shoppers.
If something more expensive and
finer is desirable, the bengaline de sole,
q handsome reppee fabric having an al
ts:rnate fine and heavy cross-wise cord,
and all-silk, is to be selected; and the
richest and heaviest of corded silk is the
vc!outine, with one heavy and two fine
cords alternating.
In figured silks. the taffetas. brocaded
with neat, small flowers tastefully ar
ranged in somewhat formal stripes, re-
call the chest dresses of our grand
mothers. Printed silks are exquisitely
lovely both in color and design. The
unique, the monstrous, is no longer de-
sirable: prettiness, neatness. elegance
are what is called for, and what is
called for is always to be had. There
are some snowy plaid silks, but
these are only for combinations, or sep
arate skirts to wear with fancy blouse
waists; in the main, the patterns of both
brocades and printed silks are attract
lively modest in design, whether repre-
senting floral or geometric figures.
In black and-white silks, always a
preferred dress for matrons of a GER
tain age, the geometric designs are most
often seen; but the brocades are usual
ly in natural colors arranged in small
bouquets on whatever the color of the
silk or satin may be.
Striped silks are usually in alternate
stripes of different finish as well as
color; thus we have satin-striped ben
galines and failles and grenadines,
which are likely to be very much worn
during the summer, and lace-striped
surahs, which are lovely for house wear,
having stripes of drawn-work forming
lace-like insertion of lengthwiss
stripes.-Demorest's Magazine.

PRIVACY IN GREAT CITIES.

The Only Place That Affords Absolute
Safety from Gossip.
Nowhere, save in the wilderness be-
You'd the frontiers of civilization, can
such perfect privacy be enjoyed as in a
large city. The denizens of busy me-.
tropolis have enough to do in attend
ing to their own affairs. They have no
time to bestow on the doings of their
neighbors, and take no interest in them.
The curiosity of villages and small
towns is Unsuitable. Espionage is the
main employment of at least one-third
of their inhabitants.
On the other hand, if a stranger take
up his abode among them, he becomes
at once center of observa tion-a tar
get for conjecture-a standing topic Of
conversation. His antecedents are in
quired into, his character is canvassed,
his manner of life is carefully noted,
his dress, features, fortune if he has
one, want of it if he has not, are all
made the subject of earnest discussion.
A jury of matrons sits on his case daily,
until everything ascertainable concern
ing him has been ascertained, and if
inquiry is batfled, guesswork, in due
time, takes the place of facts, and he is
''rcckoned up on a fancy basis. A
previous history he must have, and, in
the absence of any authentic record, he
is furnished with one by the tongue OF
gossip.
But in a bustling city, you can settle
down anywhere without attracting tho
slightest attention. You care for no.
body, and nobody cares for you, as the
song says The family in the adjoining
house does not recognize you when it
sees you, and if you do not publish your
name on doorplate, and your servants
are not on visiting terms with the kitch-
en- circle next door, you may remain for
a twelvemonth as utterly unknown to
the beings whose laughter you can hear
through the party wall, as if you dwelt
in Central Africa.
People talk of seeking retirement in
the country The idea is ridiculous If
you want to be isolated from the world,
live quietly in the midst of densely
populated and busy district.-N. Y.

She made no answer, but threw her
self on his breast, sobbing so wildly
and with such distracted look that he
in turn became frightened. He carried
her into the sitting-room, where he
petted her and reasoned with her and
tried in every way to soothe her terror,
but all to no purpose. 1t was not until
he had administered a draught from his
own private flask that she became suf-
fciently conscious to talk.

SHEEP SHEARINGS.

If all the lambs are grown to be put
on the market in summer, where is the
lamb for the winter market to come
from?
CARE must always be taken in put
ting any kind of Oil or grease on
young chickens; too much will often
prove fatal
ONE advantage with ducks is that
they grow rapidly and Can be turned
into omoney in short time-in less
time than almost any other fowl.
The Iowa board of agriculture re-
CARDS it rs "a shame" that so important
an industry as sheep husbtn'!ry should
lave to DC abandoned because of MUIR
derous dogs.
THERE is drawback in the use of
bells on sheep hy reason Of greater ex-
citability. A restless flock will run off
more fat than the loss of ten sheep
would amount to.
IN Scotland there was class of
sheep with black faces and legs called
'.collies," from the Anglo-Saxon "col,"
signifying black. The dogs which
looked after these sheep were called
collie dogs, which in time became
shortened to "collics;' hence the name
which the sheep dog DOW bears-N.

HOME HINTS AND HELPS.

-"Olive slaw" is something new. II
Is olives pitted and then chopped fine
and saturated with sharp French
dressing.
Mushroom Sauce: Make brown
sauce and add pint of fresh or canned
mushrooms: let simmer fifteen minutes
and serve.-The Home.
If doughnuts are cut out an hour
before they are fried to allow a little
time for rising, they will be much
lighter. Try cutting at night and fry
ing in the morning.
For cough, boil one ounce of flax
seed in pint of water, strain and add
little honey, one ounce of rock candy,
and the juice of three lemons. Mix and
boil well. Drink as hot as possible
Pulled bread is made by removing
the loaf from the oven before it is quite
done and picking out the center in
pieces with a fork, then browning it
nicely in the oven on battered baking
pan. Serve with plain cheese or Welsh
rarebit in place of toast.
Portland Pudding: One cupful Of
beef suet Chopped tine), one-half of a
cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of mo-
lasses, one cupful of sour milk, one cup
full of chopped raisins, three cupfuls of
flour, one teaspoonful of salcratus, one
egg, nutmeg and cloves; steam in a
well-greased, two-quart basin two
hours Budget.
The best way to remove the smell
of paint is to first render the room as
nearly as possible air-tight by closing
the windows, doors and other openings.
Place vessel of lighted charcoal in the
room, and throw on it two or three
handfuls of juniper berries. After
twentyfour hours the smell will have
entirely disappeared. Another method
of doing the same thing is to plunge a
handful of new hay into a pailful Of
water and let it stand in the newly
painted room.
Calls Brains: Remove the mem
brane that surrounds the brains, and
before cooking immerse them in a pint
of cold water in which is placed tea
spoonful each of salt and vinegar. Boil
them only five minutes then plunge
them into cold water. When cold cut
them into small bits like scallops,
season with pepper and salt, dip each
in beaten egg, then in cracker dust and
fry them in little hot butter. Tomato
sauce is nice served with them.-Orange
Judd Farmer.
Chinese Bird 's-Nest of Eggs: Make
white sauce as follows: Stew half a
pound of lean veal, cut into strips with
large sprig of parsley, in a quart Of
water until the meat is in rags and the
liquor reduced one-half. Strain and
return to the saucepan with half cup
full of milk. When it boils, thicl1en
with flour and season with pepper and
salt. Have ready eight or ten hard
boiled eggs. Take out the yoll1s care
fully and cut the whites into shreds
Pile the yolls in the center of a round,
shallow dish, arrange the whites around
them in the shape of birds nest and
pour the same carefully over the eggs.
1t should not come more than half way
up the nest. Garnish with parsley
