The ORIENTAL PEppLsR.
the Hawker of the East Adopts tn,
Gambling System.

The Hawker of the East Adopts the
Gambling System
The hawker of the east is picturesque
In costume, and of many nationalities.
His sunny smile and white cleaning
teeth are of the very essence of the.
blue sky overhead. He does not stand
stiIl in the street and appeal to passers-
by to buy his wares. He fits from cafe
90 cafe, and interviews loungers smok-
ing their narghilez in the open air.
He adopts the gambling system, as be-
ing more direct appeal to human pas
Eions. In his hand he carries lucky
bag. When he enters a cafe, he invites
you to dip your hand in the bag and
try your luck for pair of live turkeys,
q beautiful Egyptian shawl simmer
ing with gold or silver embroidery,
Or some other of the many ornaments
peculiar to the east. 1t is difficult to
resist his persuasive eloquence.
The method of procedure is this: In
his lucky bag the hawker carries 200
numbers. The figures are neatly in
scribed on small slips of stiff paper.
These are rolled and curled up in the
lucky bag, which resembles a pillow
EdSS imam NASO" fAN'@
the peddIer enters the cafe his quick
eye soon detects a likely customer.
To start by doing trade will greatly
enhance his chances with others.
Terms are arranged, say, three tries
for half franc. Then you guess, per
haps three times, at the lucky number
say between 100 and 120-as arranged.
On drawing the first number you
pay down your half franc. OF course,
the odds are very much against you.
The hawkers in Cairo and Alexandria
make a very fair harvest when these
rites are full. AS much as IS to IS
francs for a turkey which cost five
francs is pretty good profit. Somebody,
ST course, wins it in the long run.
The articles disposed of in this way
comprise boxes of splendid peaches and
ether fruits, soap, flowers in great va
tiety, plants and the beautiful point
setia, turkeys and other live stock, game
In season, fish, dates, a great variety of
ornaments, cunning devices in clocks,
furniture, etc
} There is another side to the picture.
The eastern hawker would not be con-
Ecnt with the mere gamble for lucky
number without exercising his natural
ingenuity. While he is talking to a
would-be 'hutterer" he drops his hand
INTO the bag and begins shaking up the
numbers. These, it should be explained,
are made up in patches of tens and
tyrenties, which are composed OF
slightly different qualities of paper.
In the bag is a false bottom. So deli
late is Hassan's or Abdurs touch that
he can distinguish one batch from the
other with his hand. Instantly you
select your numbers he switches them
off into the reserved compartment.
You may easily be tricked half dozen
times in this way without knowing it.
The face of the hawker on such occa-
sions is study.
Never for moment does he relax his
attention 90 you. His smile is sunny
as the eastern morn; his respectful
Eraciousness never leaves him.-Pear-

Ancient English Royal Customs.

Though not imperious, Queen Vic
toria is a rigorous upholder of old Gus
toms, especially in connection with
court matters. One quaint custom, dat
ing from the time of the second George,
which is still observed, is that of sol
EMMY announcing for the queens ben
eft at the dinner table the name of the
cook who prepared the dishes Before
each course is partal<en of, a clerk in
waiting of the kitchen makes the formal
announcement. Another ancient GUS
tom which the queen keeps up is the
choosing of the password to the tower
of London. Only three persons in the
whole United Kingdom are supposed to
know it, and these, besides, of course,
the sovereign, are the lord mayor of
London and the constable of the
tower. The password is chosen
quarterly, and after being signed by
the queen is forwarded to the lord
mayor and the constable of the tower.
It Is quaint old custom, reminiscent of
the stirring times of former reigns,-

NATIONAL CHRISTMAS BIRD.

Surkev Hard Pushed for First Place by
the Humble Goose
The turkey is the American national
bird in respect of Christmas. He rules
the roost here at Yuletide by virtue OF
ancient custom, and, no less in token of
his own succulent excellence. But in
other countries it is different
In England, for example, the sirloin
of beef is the prime dish for Christmas
day, though many beside Bob Cratchitt
prefer goose. In Russia, as bullist
might say, the favorite fowl is roast
nip, dressed with boiled buckwheat and
Rarnished with his own liver, heart and
other important organs.
Frenchmen love their ''poulet" on
Christmas, as on other days of the
year. 1t is served by preference with
the famous Languedoc stew, which is
q mess of beef, bacon, garlic, cognac,
wine, etc. Their neighbors, the Bel
gians, yearn at Christmas time for tur-
kew with truff1es, but will compromise
on a goose stuffed with chestnuts, so
that the famous Walloon waters be
thrown in
Give a German smoked goose and
plenty of cabbage and he will make
his Christmas dinner. The Dutchman
is fond of goose also, but likes it after
the Belgian fashion, roast, and stuffed
with chestnuts.
The Hungarian national goulasch
makes room on the Christmas table
for roasted goose. The same estimable
fowl satisfies the inner longings of the
Swiss as well.
The turkey has friend at Christmas
in Austria but the subjects of Franz
Josef divide their allegiance with such
other matters as carp, sausages and
even geese. Denmark votes for goose,
too, though with strong reservations
in favor of beefsteak, roast pork and
other varieties. Portugal eats turkey
at Christmas, and many other things
beside, SO that there cannot be said to
be a national weakness for the fowl.
In Italy also the turkey holds place,
but not the first place.
Thus it appears that while the turkey
has many adherents he is pushed hard
for first place by the plain, industrious
and unmusical goose.-N. Y. Herald.

Typhoid Fever on Bond Street.

1t was rumored about the streets
Thursday evening, that there were sew
eral cases of typhoid fever in the city
and an epidemic was feared, but the
board of health do not have any such
fears as the fever is confined to two
houses and they are in quarantine.
In the Paulin family, on the brook
road, four children, whose ages range
from 9 to 16 years, are sick with the
disease and there is another case at 8
Washington street, where Ernest Pare
is sick.
The board of health think that the
cases can be confined to these houses.
Augusta has been very fortunate in
the past few years in having no cpl
demic of typhoid fever in the fall OF
the year.

Rosion's LEADING Eurrier.

The Oldest furrier establishment In
Boston, is that of Mr.. HI. Crime at Il
Avon place. 1t was established in 1856,
forty years ago-and none of the fur
riers then in business are now extant
whereas the establishment of Mr.. Crime
is fully up-to-date in all the newest re-
quirements of the fur trade. Orders
are received by mail from all parts Of
New England. both for new goods and
for repairs. All inquiries by mail re-
ceive the personal attention of Mr..
Crime. Fur garments, nowadays, need
almost yearly repairs or alterations to
be kept up with the latest styles. Mr..
Crime has repair department especial
ly equipped for this sort of work and
no furrier in America can excel him in
this respect.
