small stakes for several days. Then
one day the railroad man came in, sat
down and began to play. The short
card man followed him in about half
an hour and took seat five or SIX
chairs away. l saw him take large
silk handkerchief from his pocket and
spread it over his knees. In Mexican
monte the dealer allows each player to
cut the cards when he malesa bet. The
short-card man brought with him
deck of cards exactly similar to those
used in the game. Fact is, the backs
of these cards are all alike. When he
was given the cards TO cut he substi-
tuted another pack on the top of which
was card, king, which would make
him win. He had put down eighteen
hundred dollars on the king on the
board. He cut, the dealer turned and
of course he won. The pack that the
dealer had handed him TO cut lay in the
silk handkerchief spread over his,
knees. He gathered the handkerchief
together, put it in his pe ket, took his
thirty-six hundred do s and left.
His confederate played for few
minutes, making small Lets, and then
cashed in. AS he tnrned to go the

were to adopt the last OF smallest pro-

the weight of the wings themselves.
To pick out other aerial instances, il
may not be generally known that a
frigate bird can travel at the rate of a
hundred miles an hour by chronograph
and live in the air week at time,
day and night, without touching a
roost; that large and heavy birds can
remain almost motionless in air for
hours without tapping their wings;
that birds can exert continuously about
three times the herse power per pound
of weight that man can and about the
same amount more than horse can.
The energy given out by birds is, in
fact, weight for weight, unparalleled in
nature.

Returns from l03 towns give Woodbury.,

same towns in 1890 gave Page, (Rep.),

others, G3t.
The vote of towns thus far reporting,
was in 1890, 40 per cent. of the total vote.
Should the same ratio of Republican
gain be maintained in the re-
naming towns of the state, the
Republican plurality would be $4,000,
with majority over all exceeding ~ 600.
The indications are that the Republican
majority will exceed that of any of year
in the last 20, and far surpass l892-the

Perhaps it is well that but few mothers
know that more than one-thiri of all the
babies born die before they have lived
year, snd two.,hirds of them die in the
summer months.
Where the food is absolutely pure and
sufficiently nourishing, though the mercury
ruus high, children get along as rule per-
fectlv well.
When, for any reason the mother cannot
nurse her child, or when her milk is insult
ticient or poor in quality, the best trained
nurses use lac,at,d food at once. 1t is
known to invariably make firm flesh, clear
skin, bright eyes, and TO strengthen the body
so that diarrhes, cholera infantum and ex-
hausting summer sickness do not easily
gain footing. Lsctated food babies are
rosy specimens of genuine fun loving, noisy
children that develop strong physiQues with
