LARGE STAKES.
Game of Poker Played on n Flying
stock Train.

1.-The game began at TeXarkana,"
said a Pittsburgher who occasionally
drops into poker, 1.-The oldest and one
of the biggest poker games ever played.
1t was early in the fall last year when
four big ranchmen, who own between
them thousands of acres and tens of
thousands of cattle in Tex is, met at the
terminus of the Iron Mountain road.
They were bound for Chicago, where
they intended to sell their cattle, and
as the wealthiest cattlemen of the great
southwest often do they preferred to
make the journey in the caboose of a
stock train-thc atmosphere was more
congenial and the chance to indulge in
the national game was tempting. The
game was not peculiar i'll itself; it was
carried on in the free and easy but
business-like way that obtains in the
west but the value of the chips was
stated in unusual terms. white stand
ing for one steer, a red chip for five
steers, and blue chip for ten steers.
A tolerably large herd of cattle was
upon the dry goods box, which served
for table, at every deal, and one jack
pot contained no less that three hun
bred head of cattle From Texarkana
to st. Louis the players luck was about
even. although hundreds of hands were
played in that time. But when they
struck the Alton and entered the home
stretch for Chicago the contest grew
fiercer. and at about every third hand
the betting ran high. Luck turned in
one of the players favor-the man who
had least rocks, by the way-and when
the multiplying lights on the prairie
showed that the train was nearing
Chicago the game ended. The other
three men had lost every chip they had,
had borrowed again and again with the
same result. And when the winner
counted up he found he had won 1000
head of cattle belonging to the other
three men in the game, or in dollars,

to preserve the shape. They are laced
in the back and have very high shout,

Turning back from the elbow are deer
elbow gauntlcts, and the coat which had
long lapcls early in the season, is now
decorated with lapels that come to the
knees.
The tiny carpote worn with this
pretty rig was of green net, spangle3
with gold and pink beads, and great
number of the cut beads hung along this
scalloped sides of the crown. Right

reason for being there was little up.

1t has become the style to trim hats

The pancake sailors are all provided
with a little crown piece underneath
the brim, and this little false crown is
used as vehicle for displaying fruits,
flowers and folds of bright material.

Luminous East Indian Plants.

Upwards of sixty species of East In
dian plants, mostly of the fern family,
with good sprinkling of grasses and
creeping vines, are luminous, and it is
said that the side of the mountains in
the vicinity of Syree are nightly illumi-
mated by the pale, white light which
they emit. The root stock of plant
from the Ooraghum jungle, near Layki
supposed to be an orchid, possesses
the peculiar properties of being lumin-
Gus when wetted, while, when dry, it is
quite lustreless. One jointed plant,
supposed to be member of the rush or
cane family, emits fiery red light
from its leaves, pale white one from
its stalk, while it's flowers give out ca
PRECIOUS flashes, like that of our light

sees suggest fancy dress outing party
rather than street promenade or a
shopping tour.
Beautiful seaside costumes are made
for those who are so fortunate as to
be able to enjoy them at the propeF
time and place, and no one will be-
grudge the woman who is so favored
the pleasure which she experiences
when she beholds herself dressed in a
seaside gown, ready for walk along
the beach.
A French seashore dress which came
over with one of our American women,
who went to London for the season,
and has now returned for the glories of
our own dear Newport, was of most I'M
pretentious homespun, in shade light
tan color.
All around the skirt were horizontal
raised stripes of darker shade of tan.
These stripes were of heavy braid
about two inches wide and thirteen of
them were required to go around the
skirt, from the waiStband to the hem
at the foot. On each side were let in
pointed panels of electric blue CLOTH
The sleeves down to the elbow were
of the blue cloth braided with gold
cord, and the pointed belt, high collar
and pointed bib, front and back, were
similarly ornamented.
Broad pointed revers turned back
over the arms and deep cuffs fell down
almost to the wearer's knuckles The
cuffs, revers and bodice were all
treated with bands of braid similar to
the skirt.
This extremely pretty dress sounds
as if it might have been worn in the
street with propriety, but for some rea-
son, which the owner could not explain,
the combination of light tan, dark tan
and electric blue with the stripes run
ming around the entire dress gave the
suit Jack Tar look that made it seem
ridiculous on Broadway.
A bois gown that is to be worn, how
ever, right here upon our own Fifth
avenue, has charming fancy corselet
of plain gray lady's cloth, fashioned in
way that can only be understood
when one gazes upon the picture. The
sleeves and front of the skirt are of
plain gray lady's cloth and a vandyke
in steel cord outlines the corselet. Upon
the cuffs white cloth is appliqued and
the high bodice and side cuttings are
also appliqued in the same fashion.

Better Than MOaici2e.

1t isn't drugs or medicine that is
needed at all; it is plenty of the purest
air that can be had. Open the windows
and the doors, clear out the cellar, and
.ventilate it thoroughly. remove the
;dampness, the mustiness, the ancient
.odor, the smell of decay, which greets
sthe nostrils when one enters from the
klealth-givirg atmosphere out of doors.
Never mind if the outer air bears the
PAINT of the gashouse, the mandatory,
pr some other unpleasant thing; it is also
mingled with the health and strength
giving forces of nature, and is certainly
better for the human system than the
same air which has been shut up and con-
taminated for an Indefinite period, with
no chance for publication. Don't mind,
even if little dust is brought in a few
minutes with the duster will put the
whole house in perfect order again, and
even at the worst, dust is not half so
pad as disease. A nd as for the fear of
draughts, with colds and thousand re-
sultant evils following in their train,
nineteen-twentieths of that is imagi-
nary, and the other twentieth is easily
avoidable. Budget
