something to say. The talk was of con-
servative character, and most of 1t was
about local matters for the benefit of the
Commander.

The White swan.

From the American Poultry Yard
1t is the best known and most thorough
ly domesticated of all the species of swans.
1t is probably the largest, most beautiful
and majestic of all the kinds. In Length
it is sometimes fully five feet, and the e1-
panse of its wings is remarkable. Its
plumage is of vestal whiteness; the
bill is red, with large black protuber-
ance at the base; the eye is of soft
brown hue; and the legs and feet are of q
brownish or blackish gray color.
In its wild state, according to NJ. Tenn
minck, it inhabits the great inland seas or
lakes, especially towards the eastern parts
of Europe, but in its general domestica-
ton it has invaded all countries, conquer
ing, by its noble presence and great beau
ty, the favor of all peoples.
1t strength is equal to its grace, and
among the fiercest of the feathered tribes
it has no enemy but the eagle. Even this
bird, which has been adopted as the sym
boil of our country, it frequently is able
to repel by the powerful strokes of its
wing, and from the combat which it did
not provoke, but from which it disdains
to fly, it often comes off victorious. Its
flight is of almost incredible rapidity, a
hundred miles or more an hour being no
unusual speed.
The cygnets when first hatched, and for
considerable time, are clad in gray,
which is gradually supplanted by the pure
white plumage of the e1ult bird. 1t
would be difficult to imagine more beau
tifrl sight than is presented by flock of
these large, graceful birds swimming upon
O ur;at arnanse of watar Tnav are the
fit accompaniment of refined taste, which
often transforms a rugged farm into a
beautiful country seat, where wealth and
culture find a temporary home from the
hurry and worry, the drive and push Of
city life.

CHEATING AT CARDS,
wha, Labouchere says About 1t.

What Labouchere Says About 1t.
(From the London TRUTH
In the Times there is an article pointing
out how easy it is to cheat at cards. Of
course it is, and at baccarat it is easier
than at most other games. This is SO full
ly recognized at the clubs on the Riviera,
Ostend and other such places that waiter
is employed to shuttle the cards "a waiter
being deemed less likely to cheat than a
"gentleman'D, and the banker is not al
lowed to take the packs from which he
deals in his hand. They are put before
him on the table, and he takes the cards
used in each coup one by one from the
mass, without touching the others. This,
however, has not always proved a protec-
ton, for not unfrequently the waiter has
been bribed Some years ago man sty-
ling himself Lambri Pasha brought an ac-
ton against me for terming him a cheat.
The jury found that he was cheat. l OBJ
tanned the dossier of the French police re-
specting this worthy, who was fourishing
in London society. The police estimated
that he had made, With two or three con-
federates, above a million f-ancs in two
years by baccarat. But he was an artist,
and never condescended to Ia poucette.
If he were the dealer he would get hold of
nine and put it up his sleeve. When
the two cards were deslt to him he took
the chance of one being a ten (zero) and
the other being a small card. Taking up
the two cards dealt he would throw the
small card up his sleeve and bring down
the nine, thus securing to himself mat
ural" One of his confederates showed me
how this was done. 1 doubted whether it
was possible without detection, when he
did it before me several times without my
being able to perceive anything. To de-
ceive by slight-of-hand is, of course, the
basis of all conjuring. The conjurer, or
the cheat, says something which diverts
attention from his hands for one second
In that SECOND the trick is done
