"rHE GAME WORE ON"
fho Evening Work Ended 90 the Entire
satisfaction of the Banker.


The game wore ON.
The banker, who sat at the head of the
table, was kept busy selling stacks of
chips. The betting was heavy, and there
were but two men who seemed to be
winning anything.
The blue chips all came their way. 1t

man held four kings, one of this pair
would bob up with four aces or straight
flush or something of the kind and spoil

the other players cursed their luck be-
meath their various breaths.
It came to he midnight, and | o'clock

progress The two men were still win

o'clock everybody was tiled, and it was
decided to quit The table in front OF
the two lucky men was covered with
chips
The banker pushed back his chair and
said, II am ready TO settle, gentlemen. "
1t didn't take long to settle with tho
men who had not been lucky. Then j,

"How much have you got, Jim?" asked
the banker
"Three hundred and forty" replied
Jim.

did sorne figuring. Then he dove down

Seeing Plants Grow.

In the laboratory the growth of aplant
may be rendered visible by attaching a
fine platinum wire to the stem or grow
ing part The other end of the wire, to
which is fastened pointed piece of char.
coal, is pressed gently against drum.
The drum is covered with white paper
and kept revolving by cloclSwork.
OF course if the growth is stationary
a straight line is marked on the paper,
but even the slightest increase is shown
by the inclined tracing on the paper.
By a simple modification Of this ar
rangement, the growth of plant can
be rendered audible. The drum must be
covered by narrow strips Of platinum
foil, say one-eighth of an inch wide and
one-eighth between each strip
If the strips of platinum be made to
complete the circuit of galvanio bat
terry TO which an electric bell is coupled
up then the bell will continue ringing
while the plant grows an eighth of an
inch, followed by silence while the
pointer is passing over the space between
two strips, for the next growth of an
eighth of AN inch, and so on.
The growth of some very rapidly grow
ing plants and the opening of some flow
ers, such as the compass plant, can be
heard direct by means of the micro
phone. By the above means IL has been
proved that plants grow most rapidly

cHlNA's GREAT IMPERIAL SEAL.

stroycd Her Badge of seryitude.
Among the many unique curiosities
in M. Jules Patenotre's collection at the
French legation at Washington is an
imprint of the great Chinese imperial
seal. The loss Of the original die which
the imprint represents was one Of the
greatest disappointments in tho career
of this clever diplomat. He wanted il
for his collection, but the orientals were
q little too many for him that time, and
this is how it happened:
The French had been carrying on the
war in Tonquin during the early part Of
1884 and finally succeeded in forcing
China to surrender her claim OF sue.

vor of a French protectorate. All The
,tate documents of the Anamite up 20
this period had not only borne the ra-
tional seal, but likewise the imperial
seal of China, as a mark of vassalagc
When, on June 6, 1884, however, Pate
notre obtained the signature to the
treaty giving Anam over TO the protoc.
ton of France, the great Chinese seal
was brought before the convention OF
Anamita statesmen and French officers
and diplomats. NJ. Patenotre in his re-
port to the home Office described the
scene as follows:
1--WE took out seats about large Ia.

dence There were naval officers from
Admiral Courbot's S fleet and several OFF.

told him that it was not yet too late tC
save this interesting relic, and begged
him not to consign it to the crucible.
He hesitated moment and then held
brief consultation with Nguyon.Van.

head and said that the last token Of An
ans servitude must be destroyed.
Five minutes later the great seal was

Mixed Jurics.

II seems to me that in most cases the
perfect jury would be one made up of
men and women in equal numbers The
fundamental idea of the jury is that it
affords good average opinion ON the
case before it, and that this average is
more likely to approximate justice than
the decision of any number of legal eX-
perts. In view Of the admitted differ
ences between the mental operations Of
men and women, would not the intro
duction of the latter into the jury box
give a juster average of human senti-
ment than is secured under the present
system? There is another consideration,
less important in theory, but probably of
great practical value. Hunger and thirst
and impatience of confinement often
drive the masculine jury to decisions
which must cause the goddess of the
bandaged eyes to shed copious tears be-
hind the voluminous folds which secure
her impartiality. BY her established in
difference to creature comforts woman
would raise the moral tone of juries and
compel decisions on abstract principles.
When protracted session was III pros
pect, she would first make up her mind
and then take out her embroidery and
wait for the other jurors TO come around
to her position. Kate Fields Washing

What appears to be the most interest
ing archaeological discovery since the
settlement of western New York by the
whites was made recently near the city
line. Workmen who were engaged in
laying out new street turned up a
quantity of human bones and copper in
struments, which so excellent an author
ity as w. G. Bryant believes to be relics
of the Kah Kwahs, the little known
tribe of peaceful Indians who occupied
this region before the days when the
Senecas came to keep the western door
of the Long House.
The early and complete extinction of
this nation by the more warlike and bet
ter organized lroquois left little more
than a legend of them TO inspire the
poetical fancy of the lamented David
Gray, and to furnish name for cot
tage on the lake shore. If further in
vestigation shall tend to confirm Mr.
Bryants apparently well founded con-
lectures, the relics discovered will add
distinctly to our knowledge of the people
whose fires burned here long before ours
were kindled.
This was an ancient burying ground
for a race of giants, judging from the
size of the bones found in the loamy soil
of the hill. They show the men to have
been very large.-Buffalo Courier
