Italian Poker.

Mora is to Italians what draw poker is to Amerieans--the national game. There was an astonishing amount of gesticulation and loud talk, but it was all in the game and well meant The game is played by two persons. One calls number, say seven. He throws out say five fingers to make the number and his opponent must try to make up the remainder, two, by immediately putting mp that number of fingers. Tse moves must be made instantly. Some of the players are marvelously rapid, but to the uninitiated, there Is not much pleasure in the game The stakes are usually very small Buffalo TDtl1.inr

SLAMS DEAD MONARCH.
He Was a Progre ssive Man, But
Decided ly Exclusive.
Fear That the Question of Succession May
Cause Trouble - Some of the Re
forms Instituted by the Dead
Potentate.

Dispatches recently received per
steamer Tacoma announce the death
of the king of Siam. Fl. M. 5. Rather
has been dispatched 20 Siamese waters
to anticipate possible trouble over the
succession. Later reports deny the
kings death, however.
The late king, assuming him to be
dead, was fOrty-one years old, and be-
gan his reign when he was fifteen
years of age. His full name was Phra-
bat Somdet Phra Paramindr Maha
Chulalonkorn Phra Chula Chom Kloa
Phra Chow Yuhua. He was just as
progressive as his father, but somewhat
more exclusive. He was particularly
interested in America and American
business methods, and remarked to our
consul at Bangkok not long ago that he
hoped before long to see a line of
steamers plying between American
ports and his capital.
The king was man of real intelli-
gence and culture and was eager for
the improvement of his kingdom, but
like the rest of his countrymen his in
tstinct for sanitation was very imper-
feet. The refuse of the kitchen were
dumped in front of the palaces and
splendid temples and chance and the
dogs left to take care of it. The ports
were always open to contagious dis
eases, the idea of quarantine being en-
ttirely unknown.
In spite of the fact that the king was
progressive and wanted to learn from
other nations, he had, owing to the
rigid restrictions of caste which pre-
vail in the orient, never been farther
from home than Calcutta. Before he
+ascended the throne all his subjects
were obliged to approach the royal
presence on their hands and knees.
This degrading practice the king abol-
,ished upon his accession to the throne
twenty-five years ago.
He introduced another startling in
novation some seven year, ago at the
celebration Of his birthday when he
entered the royal ballroom leading the
queen by the hand. 1t was the first
time in the history of Siam that a king
had ever appeared in public with his
qconsort or in any way recognized her

power. The apparatus is steered by a
vertical plane at the stern. The in
ventor is an English engineer, who, it
is said, has produced several valuable
and practical inventions. Thus far,
however, the vacuum chamber as APP
piled to areostatics has proved fail
ure, and has indeed been pronounced
contrary to correct mechanical prin-
ciples. That the air navigator is pos
sible, and even a certainty in the near
future, we have every reason to hope;
but that it has yet appeared is doubt
full Even the liberal reward offered
by congress seems to have produced no
result.

A TERRIBLE HAWK.
An Enemy That Strikes Terror to Feath'
cred Demizens of the Bush.


The author of THE Naturalist in La
Plata" gives an impressive description
of the terror produced by the appear
ance of rather small hawk, of a spe
cies unknown to him, although he has
seen it a hundred times. 1t is a marsh
: hawk. That is to say it seeks its prey
in marshes.
/ have frequently seen all the inhabi-
tants of a marsh struck with panic, act
ing as if demented and suddenly grown
| careless to all other dangers. On such
occasions have looked up, confident OF
seeing this particular hawk suspended
above them in the sky.
All birds that happen to be on the
wing drop into the reeds or water as if
shot. Ducks away from the shore
stretch out their necks horizontally
and drag their bodies, as if wounded,
into closer cover. Not one bird is found
bold enough to rise and wheel about
the marauder-a usual proceeding in
the case of other hawks; while at every
sudden stoop of the falcon a low cry of
terror rises from the birds underneath
"a sound expressive of an emotion SO
contagious that it quickly runs like a
murmur all over the marsh, as if a
gust of wind had swept moaning
through the rushes.
As long as the falcon hangs overhead,
always at height of about forty yards,
threatening at intervals to dash down,
this murmuring sound, made up of
many hundreds Of individual cries, is
heard swelling and dying away, and
occasionally, when he drops lower than
usual, 1t rises to a sharp scream of ter
rOr.
Sometimes, when | have been riding
over marshy ground, one of these
hawks has placed himself directly over
my head, within fifteen or twenty
yards. 1t has perhaps acquired tae
habit Of following hOrsemen in this
way, in order to strike at any birds
driven up.
Once my horse almost trod on a
couple of snipe squatting, terrified, in
the short grass The instant they rose
the hawk struck at one of them, the
end Of his wing shifting my cheek VIC
lently as he stopped. The snipe escaped
by diving under the bride, and i'm
mediately dropped on the other side of
me; and the hawk, rising, flew away.

When in health he was feet 6 inches

as his equal Although the king had
upward of 300 wives only one of them
ranked as queen. The other wives are
as subject to her will as to her hus-
bands. The second" wives, as they
are called. attain through their rela-
ton to the king. a certain rank Of no.
bility. The king had eighty-seven
children.
The king. like all his subjects, was a
devout Buddhist and believed in the
transmigration of souls. In the royal
palace grounds are four white ele-
plants in which his majesty believed
were incased the souls of four of his
royal predecessors on the throne. The
king himself never came into their
presence without making humble obei-
Sance.
Siam is 200 miles long and 400 miles
wide and has a population of about six
million people. The kingdom COM
prises the west half of Cambodia. part

A doctor related the following to a
friend after visiting widowed neigh
Dor: "While we were conversing put
my hand on a cushion and said: Wild
ow. this is the incest, softest place l
ever had my hand on in IL my life'
Looking benevolently at me. and at the
same time flushing up a little said, in
melting and winning tones: Doctor,
give me your hand, and I'll put it on a
much softer place In a moment Of
rapture, | consented, and taking my
hand, she gently, very gently, Tim,
and quietly, laid it on my head, and
burst into laugh that's ringing in my

Vice President, North Carolina.
FAVORS AN ALLIANCE WITH
ENGLAND.

Recently Andrew Carnegie, the mil
lionaire iron king of Pennsylvania,
suggested that the United States form
an alliance with England commercial,
" and otherwise. Sir George Clark,
an officer in the English army, has an
article in a recent number OF the
North American ReUieW advocating
an alliance of naval forces, He argues
that England and America could abso
lutely control the waters of the world
by combining their naval fleets and
could dictate to all other kingdoms,
republics and monarchies. There are
many objections to this. England le
the hated of all hated countries, and
the United States would then be a
partner In all her devilish deeds. There
is a hidden meaning to all this talk.
England now owns mOst OF I'll securi-
ties and the bulk of the stock in lead
ing newspapers and railroad corpora
tions. She pulls the string that oper-
ates our legislative jumping jacks. To
form an alliance of any kind with her
now means that we lose what little
independence we have left. The United
States would be ruled by England just
as she rules Ireland and Canada to
day. Our ancestors fought eight long
years and gained our independence one
hundred and twenty years ago. The
President and national legislators for
the past twenty years have been grad
ually eurrendering that independence,
and this Alliances would cut the last
slender thread. Let US go in the other
direction rather than toward England,
the hotbed of tyranny and destroyer of
liberty and patriotism.
