The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1897-11-17

An amusing story is told of the crown
princess of Italy who excited so much
interest during her recent visit to Lon
don Tho Montenegrin royal family is
one of the oldest i'll Europe, but also ono
of the poorest. and the court is not large.
When Princess Helene arrived i'll Rome,
distinguished lady in waiting tried to
patronizc her, but the crown princess
effectually put Il stop to this at once.
Your royal highness must find the
court life u great change. The etiquette
and stiffness must be very novel to your
royal highness, was the remark made,
but the princess replied, with sang froid,
"On the contrary, | think it is wonder
full how well things are done at court
demonstrating it is SO very new !"

ELEV-:! HANDS OF POKER.
They Ought to Have Won Every Time,
but Didn't,

They Ought to Have Won Every Time,
but Didn't.
It's the bcWildeIing uncertainties Of
the great game Of poker that make it so
popular with most Americans. Systems
and the law of average do not seem to
obtain as much in the play Of this game
as they do in most other games Of chance
and skill This point never was more
strikingly illustrated than it was one
night not long ago in the short space of
half an hour
The game is a regular institution on
one of the late suburban trains out of
New Yorl, The first stop that is made
by this train is exactly 80 minutes after
the train leaves New York The game
always starts on time, and the cards are
gathered up and the players jump off
usually as the train begins to get head
way after the first stop
This explanation is necessary to fully
appreciate the array of hands that makes
the real point Of this story. One player
with good memory held in the 80
minutes play the following hands, with
these results:
pOur aceS-WOn, OF course.
Five full ON aces-beaten.
One flush-beaten.
One ight-beaten -1.a
Three aces-beaten
-Four sets of aces up-all beaten
Three seyens-beaten.
Queens up-WOn.
Jacks up--won.
Tens up-won
Mines up on fours-beaten.
In this really remarkable collection
of II hands only of them were win
ners, and yet the man who held them
says that he came out even. He got
scared on his five full and on his flush
and Just called He lost considerable on
his three aces, but he won more on his
queens up that he held only once than
he did ON his four aces His jacks up
netted him more than any other hand,
for he had them pat and played them SO
on the opening Of fat jack pot.
The five full was beaten by ten full
and the flush was beaten by queen
full. None of the other men in the game
thought that his hand was especially
strong or weak, and it would be expect
ed naturally that the array of hands
given above would quit tho game con-
siderably TO the good if one did not
know that most Of them We're beaten

KEEPING FARM ACCOUNTS.

How many farmers keep an account
that is, an expense and cash accounti
All farmers should keep such record oi
all moneys received and expended or
the farm. How many when asked the
question, How did you come out this
year, did your income ex'
ceed your expenses, etcP for the life Of
them they cannot tell. They know
they had living aad sold little hay
and corn in the fall, also a few hogs
probably cow, but they can't tell al
what price.
The farmer of all men has time every
evening to jot down in small book
the days sales and expenses; how in.
teresting at the end of the year tC
count up each side of the account, and
see how you stand. Have cash &C.
count and an account for receipts; that
is, pnt down all moneys spent off the
farm on one page, and on another al
received. Give the farm credit for all
house rent, such as dwellings, barns
etc., at what you would have to LAY
for same if rented. Credit farm with
all feed sold or kept for use, all cattle
hogs, sheep and horses sold, pasture,
wood, your own living, etc. Charge
farm with all labor and expense, taxes,
improvements, etc. Don't get your SER
vices too high; estimate your own SER
vices by what you would be willing to
pay another man for the same work
I urge farmers to try this plan and you
will become better acquainted with
your own business, and be surprised at
the ned Of the year. Try it, beginning
March l or April 1.

The spe:ulatiYefeye is still strong
among farmers as well as other people.
We were surprised to be informed by
one of our farmer friends-the last
man that one would think would be a
speculator-that he had just lost $500
in margins on wheat speculationS. Yet
We fancy that mans place is mort
gagged for all it is worth and suspect
that at least part of the money lost was
borrowed. We have frequently ex-
posed the methods of bucket shops and
brokers who try to rope the country
men into buying on margins. This
is nothing but straightout gambling,
but seems useless to preach against it.

would burn good money. We know Of

SITTING HENs.

A hen that is gentle and will allow
one to move her off and on the nest
without showing any sign Of fright
will usually make a good sitter, but
hens that are easily frightened and ap-
pear to be unsettled when on the mes
should not be allowed to sit, for they
will invariably break some of their
eggs and probably hatch very few
chickens. There are some varieties of
games that resemble the Leghorn in
disposition, and while they cannot be
properly classed as non-sitters, they
make very poor sitters and should on
ly be kept as layers. On the farm
where the hens have unlimited range,
the games make an excellent mother,
but when the chickens are raised in a
small yard they are undesirable, as they
will frequently try to kill the chickens
of other hens. In selecting good sit
ters it would be bard to find breed
that could improve upon the Plymouth
Rocks. The Bramas and Cochins are
too large and clumsy TO make good
sitters, but medium sized Plymoa th
Rock hen proves almost always Satis-
factory.
A mistake that Is often made ID se-
lecting sitter is in her size. A small
light hen viii stand less change OF
breaking her eggs and will raise the
chickens better than one that is unus-
ually large and heavy. Owing to the
smallness and lightness of a bantam,
1t is very rare that one breaks its eggs
or kills its chickens. Old hens are
lighter that young ones, and while
they do not lay very many eggs, u lew.
should b kept as sitters.
