HOW TO WIN At EUoHRE.
A Louisvllle Player Gives the Secret of
uer sncoess Last Nintar

Louisvllle Player Gives the Secret of
Her Success Last Winter.
There are as many superstitious peo-
pie in the world to-day as there ever
were, says the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, and the belief in signs, charms and
omens has by no means passed away.
A charming young married woman
won almost all of the prizes at the pro
gressive euchre parties she attended
last winter She plays well, but, as u
friend told her, ''the best players have
to hold good cards to win. At the end
of the season she tsld what she thinks
has been the cause OF all her luck. &c
never fail to cut my Gnger nails before
breakfast every Monday rorning,n she
said, "aRd that Is nay magical charra

A pretty little woman, was was visit

A DlABoLIcAL CRY iNDEED.
The Strange Warming That Was Given on
Mountain Road

The Strange Warming That Was Given on
Mountain Road.
We were riding slowly and carefully
down a steep hill in the Sicrras, says a
writer in Home and Country. The road
was barely wide enough for two horse
men abreast.
Suddenly cry rent the air.
In second it was repeated and
sounded nearer.
The judge, my companion, uttered
an emphatic sentence which | did not
catch and galloped back in desperate
haste, leaving me perplexed and
amazed.
At that instant the sharp, weird cry
was repeated and Immediately / was
confronted by the head of long,
heavily laden mule train. The mules,
with their panniers, monopolized the
entire width Of the road The animals,
painfully laboring, were on the run,
impelled by the muleteer's cries and
whips. Before realized my danger or
could turn to avoid it the caravan was
upon me with irresistible imnetuoeitv.
1t doubled up my mule and whirled
him around as il he had been q child s
toy or wisp Of hay.
Fortunately the saddle girth broke,
and was spilled on the opposite side
of the collision How l rose and clam
bered up that perpendicular wall in
time to avoid being trampled to pulp
beneath the remorseless heels of those
painting beasts could not comprehend
at that time, nor have | ever been able
to do so; but there / was and there 1
adhered, as if glued to the rock, until
both mules and danger had disappeared.
The muleteers never east even one
''long, lingering look behind"
To my astonishment my poor mule
was unhurt and by and by the judge
returned, looking unfeignedly anxious.
"Why in the name of common sense
did you not ride back with me?" he de-
manded.
81 heard the diabolieal cry" | re-
piled, "but l did not understand it and
l did not understand you, and there il
| is" said |.

The Former Much the Shorter Lived. Their

The Former Much the Shorter Lived, Their
Arduous Work Being the Cause.
The deaths of several well-ISnown
medical practitioners lately at ages
but little beyond the middle period OF
life have given a shock TO a good many
of their professional brethren. And
no wonder! One of the first things
doctor naturally aims at is the preserva-
tion of his own health and life. II he
cannot keep himself alive and well, the
prospect is certainly not encouraging
for his patients. It is commonly be-
lieved that doctors are a short-lived
class Is the popular belief wcll found
ed? II is, according to the London
Hospital, only too we'll founded. In
his "Vital Statistics Dr. Arthur
Newsholme informs us that of every
1000 clergymen between the ages of Is
and G5 only / )3 die annually. But OF
every 1000 doctors between the ares Of
45 and G5 no fewer than 2s.0s die every
year. That is TO say, the mortality Of
medical men is almost double that Of
clergymen. And the rate is increasing.
Twenty years ago il was only "A instead
OF rs. These are facts to make us
pause. They seem TO throw an ugly
doubt upon the competence of our pro-
fessional skin 1t may perhaps be
argued that clergymen are financially
more prosperous than medical men;
but that would be quite fallacious, be-
cause DR.. Newsholme includes in his
clerical class the ministers Of all th8
noncouforming denominations: and,
class for class, there is no doubt that
medical men are much better of than
the body of elergymen as thus eonsti-
tuted. What is the reaso then, for
this portentous death roll? it is to be
found in the arduous nature of the doc
tors daily work. But then the doctor
knows the arduousness of his work,
and If he had faith in physiology he
would counteract the effect of that
arduousness by more holidays and by
combining with his fellow doctors to
diminish the killing strain. This is .
matter which is generally talked about
and then dropped.

GOT EVEN WITH HIS WIFE.
A Husband Who Called In a Phrenologlst
TO stop Practical Joking.

=
He had been frequently the victim of
his wife's practical jokes, says the De-
troit Free Press. He was troubled
most by a neighbOr who was called in
to tell fortunes with the cards and at
the wife's previous suggestion always
got the laugh ON him by recalling some
alleged incident of his past life that
never occurred, seeing some blonde
woman near him that was going to
cause future trouble, or having him
tangled up in a scrape which he would
be the last man to encounter. The
other day he found peregrinating
phrenologist on the street. He asked
the old fraud to the house and told him
on the way up that he had good look
ing servant girl at his house who was
jewel in her proper capacity, but
good many things had been missed
from the house since she came there,
and while he could prove nothing he
suspected the woman. When they
reached the house the wife was called
in and the bump interpreter was set to
work without the preliminary of an in-
PRODUCTION. He thought he knew the
lay of the land and proceeded accord
ingly.
"This woman" he said, "has keen
perceptions. She is shrewd, but some-
what after the manner of fox. She
has grasping disposition and covets
everything pretty that she sees. If 1
owned this property would keep my
spoons and other silver locked up. l
would leave no money lying around,
and as for jewelry-"
But there was a sudden breaking up
of the seance. John, who is this
horrid man? Laughing at him. are you?
Get out of here, you miserable old
cheat, you-you puppy, leave this house
before | have you kicked out. III"
But he was gone on dead run, and
when the husband could regain has
breath it was definitely arranged that
the days of his persecution were over.

Indlyldualltr in vecotat.on.

The vegetation covering the slopes
of European mountains as well as
that on the greet snowy peaks of the
American Cordillcras and other ranges
has an individuality, a character Of its
own, striking even the most indiffer-
ent of tourists. In this fora al is
dwarfed and on a small scale. The
flowers alone, of relatively exaggerat-
ed size and generally brilliant in color,
seem to be abnormally developed. The
manner of growth of the plants is a
surprise to those ignorant Of their his
tory and the causes OF their peculiar
appearance. While in the lowlands,
large plants, with spreading branches
and well developed foliage, generally
have flowers smaller than the leaves,
the reverse is true in The higher re-
gions. Another easily noticed pecul-
iarity is that while the Alpine fora in
sunshine show flowers of great size
and vivid coloring, as the gentians,
auriculas, anemones and violets, in The
shade, on the other hand, we find them
small and weak IN color. Thus, the
action of the suns rays on vegetation
at great elevations seems to be more
iptenae tll4 90 She plains.
