Democratic Gamblers.

Apropos of gambling at Cairo,
Pat Sheedy, the famous gambler,
declares that "the Russians are the
most desperate gamblers that come
to Cairo, the Greeks the shrewdest.
The Russians bet the biggest money,
although some of the wealthy Turks
are as daring. The American is a
good gambler, but his game is like
marbles against billiards as com
pared with the gambling of Euro
peans. saw old Castellane, the IA
ther Of Count Castellane, who mar.
ried Anna Gould, play baccarat un-
til he had roll of money amount
ing to $40, This money he put
in his trousers pocket and started to
go out.
HE had just reached the door
when three men who knew him
came in. They were broke, but anx-
ious to play. / saw Castellane hand
them 50, 800 apiece, and then start
to deal the cards for them himself.
The old gentleman actually put the
balance of his money against that
which he had loaned his friends.
They were three to one, Castellane
broke one of the three, but the 9TH
or two broke him, and after passing
back $4,000 to him, they went out
richer together by some $44, 600.
Where in all of this country would
you find man in whose veins the
gambling blood flowed as swiftly as
that2"

self Most Unfortunate Man.
! A stranger tramping in mid-June
through ''the garden of England, !"
as the county of Kent is called, sees
posted on boards and fences notices
announcing that the growing crops
of fruit will be sold by auction. He
also sees the fruit-cherries, goose
berries, currants and straw berriesA-
growing in fields and gardens, and
observes the great barns bursting
with thousands of bushel baskets
waiting to be filled with the ripe
fruit and sent to London. The
stranger, should he express his adj
miration of the orchards, hopfelds
and market gardens to country
man, will-be surprised at two facts:
The peasant proprietor never thinks
of eating any of the fruit he grows,
and the more plentiful the crops the
less pleased he processes himself to
be. This report of conversation
between a traveller in Kent and
fruit ower-taken from the Dover
Road shows the fruit grower
born grumbler, who, in his own
opinion, is most unfortunate man.

Making Parchment Paper.

The operation of manufacturing
parchment papers, such as are used for
wrapping butter and other similar OBJ
jects, is very interesting one. Parch-
ment is produced directly from the raw
paper web in practically one operation.
The sheet to be panchmentized is
passed through sulphuric acid and then
through rollers having uniform ac-
ton, which discharge the surplus acid,
the expressed liquid being returned to
the tank or vessel. The paper is then
carried and passed through washing
apparatus, as a tank, and also through
sprays of water, being led and guided
by rolls over which it passes, so that
the free acid is washed off or removed
as far as possible by mechanical wash
ing. The sheet next passes through .
bath of soda solution or alkali, and then
through nippers to express surplus al.
kali, which is returned to the bath
Then the paper is carried through an
apparatus TO be further washed with
water. Next it 10 passed through q
bath of bleaching material, as "bleAch'
or the like, then through further wash
ing apparatus, again passed between
presses and squeezed, aud then finally
it is passed through bath Of glycerin

paper is wound upon roller or coilet

A CHINESE NEW YEARS.
How the Day IL Celebrated In . Chinese
Quarter of Ian Francisco.

How the Day IL Celebrated In . Chinese
Quarter of Ian Francisco.
Chinatown of San Francisco was
keeping holiday, and all was gayety and
hustle.
The narrow, picturesque streets were
decorated with brightly-colored Ian
terms, while overhead above the roof
tops the yellow dragon-fags foated
against blue California sky.
It was a sunny day in February, and
the streets were swarming with null
titude of Chinese-men, women and
children-al arrayed in their richest
holiday attire. The children especially,
with their bright faces and black eyes,
and their pretty costumes, formed q
most pleasing and interesting feature OF
this living oriental picture.
Everybody seemed to be happy and
good-natured; and ever and anon, as
q group of friends met, they stopped
and amid much ceremonious bowling ex-
changed the compliments Of the sea-
son; for this festive occasion was
nothing more nor less than the celebra-
ton of the Chinese New Year.
The idea of celebrating New Years
day in February may strike some OF
nv readers as odd. But, since this has
been the Chinese custom from time i'm
memorial, and is older, by several thou
sand years, than our acceptance OF the
1st of January as the proper time, the
Chinese, perhaps, are not far wrong IN
supposing themselves to be at least as
much in the right as ourselves This
question, however, was of no con-
cern to this merry holiday throng.
They were quite satisfied with the ar
rangement; and, with the utmost
belef in their own superiority, they felt
at heart an inborn contempt-common
toall Chinese-for Outside barbarians.

ing within the sacred boundaries o.

stars, has a very remarkable companion
never visible except with powerful tele-
scopes. 1t was first seen in 1862. and IN
1890 it disappeared, the. reason OF Its
disappearance being that it had moved
so close to Sirius as to be lost to view IN

SMELLING NUTS.
Machines Invented to Do the work In ths
Best Manner.

mAC0A0Oo AuVOutO0 w D0 sA~o w
Best Manner.
Nut meats are used mostly for confec-
toners purposes, but they are sold also
TOR domestic use, for home cake and
candy-making, and for table use as des-
sert. The meats chiefly used are those
of English walnut, pecans, hickory
nuts, black walnuts, Brazil nuts and
almonds.
Years ago, when the consumption OF
nut meats was comparatively small, the
nuts were cracked by hand; now they
are shelled by patented machines of inr
genious construction, varying in their
methods of operation according to the
kinds of nuts for which they are de-
signed. Such nuts, for example, as
pecans and English walnuts, the meats
Of which are formed in substantially
uniform halves, are fed into hoppers,
from which they fall singly between
knives so arranged that they cut only
the shell, without cutting or marring
the meat. From the cutters the nuts
drop upon setter, constantly shaken.
where the shells are shaken clear OF the
meats, and thrown off. The nuts are
left entire, aud they are seldom broken.
The meats are then separated into
halves to remove the thin partition that
divides the nut.
Brazil nuts are put into machines that
cut the ends from the nut; the struc-
ture of the Brazil nutshell is such that
all or the greater part of the shell is
usually detached by the operation of
cutting off the ends. Whatever may re-
main is cut off with knives by hand.
Hickory nuts are cracked in machines.
1t is impossible to get whole meats;
+ there are likely to be some halves, but
| hickory meats are usually in fragments.
The various nut meats, when they
have been taken from the shells. are
put through a drying process in blow
trs, to remove superfous moisture; the
meats keep better when properly dried.
Nut meats packed for domestic uses
are put up in half-pound and pound
raper boxes. The usual commercial
| packages of nut meats are 25-pound and
| s0-pound boxes, and barrels containing
| about $50 pounds.
! Thecultivation Of nuts is increasing in
| this country, as is also the consump-
tion of them.-N. Y. Sun. -

SPREADS LIKE CHOLERA.
eurgeo, General Wyman Talks Of tn
Plague OF India.

SURGE, General Wymaa Talks Of tbs
Plague Of India
DR.. Walter Wyulan, surgeon general
Of the United States marine hospital
service, has been making special
study of the black death, or bubonic
plague, now raging in India, the dead
lest sccurge that ever afflicted the
Garth. It has already been brought by
infected seamen to Marseilles, France.
In an interview he said:
"In general the disease is spread in
the same manner as cholera, except
that the cholera germ must enter the
intestinal tract, while the germ of the
plague may attack any part Of the
mucous membrane, or be conveyed by
even the minutest abrasion OF the skin
While this germ is so virile and so cas-
lily taken into the system, it is one OF
the most easily killed by disinfection.
In the experiments now being carried
on in thelaboratory of the hospital seCv-
ice it has been found that but one
pathogenic organism is as easily de-
stroyed by formaldebyd gas as the
plague bacillus, namely the staphylo
| coccus pylogenes aureus. One per cent.
of quicklime will also destroy it.
"There are known to be two forms
of the disease. One is the Illuminating
fern called 'pestus major in which
form the disease acts very quickly and
is very fatal; the other, 'pestus minor.
in which the symptoms are mild. the
patient not being confined to the bed;
hence this class are called ambulant
cases. The period for incubation for
the acute cases appears to be pretty
well fixed at under ten days, while iii
the ambulating cages the apparent
period of incubation may be very much
longer. In other words. ambulating
cases may be afflicted for period OF
ten or thirty days before the symptoms
have developed which call attention to
tie disease. The acute form OF the in
lection may cause mild attacks. while
on the other hand the ambulant cases
may cause the acute attacks. The am
bulant cases, therefore, are the most to
be dreaded."-Chicago Post.
