Magioians Generally Poor POKER rlayer..

Magicians Generally Poor Poker riayers.
A group of old-time sports wene tell
ing poker stories a few nights ago and
somebody remarked that the elder Her
rmann, the magician, might easily
have made a fortune had he turned his
attention to gambling.
"I've heard that before" said one OF
the party, chuckling, "and it always
amuses me. Why, my dear sir, Alex
ander Hermann was one of the poor
est poker players that ever drew to
bobtail. He liked a social game and
plugged away at it all his life, but he
was never anything but raw am
ateur Good poker players are born,
and it simply wasn't in MIN. AS far as
being able to manipulate the cards was
concerned, he couldn't do it, even had
he been so disposed, which of course
ne wasn't He could perform wonder
iul tricks, but that class OF work is
something entirely different from what
is called advantage playing. / have
known four or five fine sleight-of-hand
performers, and not one of them could
do a thing with the deck in an ordin-
airy game. To do successful crooked
work in short cards requires not only
great dexterity of kind entirely dis
tinct from stage tricks, but also a Pc
culiar temperament. All the men who
become famous for that sort of thing
in the old days were of the same gen.
eral type, and when / come to think
about it. those / knew looked more or
less alike. They could perform ex-
traordinary feats, but it required years
of practice and setting everything else
aside; no professional juggler coucd
spare the time to learn.
"Thc best proof that Hermann was
unfamiliar with the tricks of t1e card
table Is that he was continually being
made the victim. He made no secret
of the fact that he had been fleeced
time and again, and I happen to know
personally that he was once swindleI
out of a considerable amount by one
of the oldest and staleSt devices known
to the fraternity. When the thing was
explained to him afterward he was
deeply Disguised, but he had never sus-
pocted it at the time. New Orleans

THOSE 100000 subscriptions to the

1T is to be hoped that the democrats

meaning; anything else used, it is a

A lady who has spent good deal of time in Japan says that she has often kept cut flowers for an abnormal1y long period by burning their stems with piece of woad-not with a match, be it observed, Or the sulphur would be injurious to the flower. The Japanese say that the charring process causes the water to penetrate the stem and sustain the flower.

PEOPLE FORGET
And Leave Money in Safe Deposit Boxs
 for Yearg.

From the New Orleans Times Demo- crat: @Apropos of the singular case of old man Burgess said bank teller the other evening, Cit is by no means an unheard-of thing for people to put money and valuables in safe deposit boxes and then forget all about them. A remarkable case of that kind hap pened in New Orleans ten or twelve years ago. An old planter, who car ried a good-sized deposit in one of the banks, gave little bundle to the cash fer one day and asked him to put it where it would be safe, The cashier supposed it contained legal documents of some kind laid it away in com partmeht with lot of other papers and thought no more about it. Three or four years later the planter had series ot misfortunes that wiped out most of his property, and he was terribly pressed for money. One morning he was in the bank, feeling very much dejeeted, when some- thing reminded the cashier Of ci1 PzANhet503 d4i0 AG MGug and hunted it up. Here's something you left with us good while ago. colonel, he remarked. Do you wish Us to still keep it for you? T don't remember what it is,' he said, and proceeded to strip off the wrapper. It contained ffty-fve $100 dollar bills. He had received them as a balance on an old account, and the whole affair had simply passed out of his memory. He was in full possession of his fac ulties, but bigger transactions had crowded that one to the background in his mind. The money came in very handy at that particular time, and he was oVerjoyed at the discovery. Of course, that case was very much out Of the ordinary, but many special de- posIts of lesser value have been over. looked for long periods in the local banks. Strange to say, some of the ab4 sent-minded folks have been women. who are reputed to be very keen about money matters. One famous old bank in New York is reputed to have half a million dollars in that kind of s9eepers, in its vaults"

TEETH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Eight Out of Ten Pupils Are in Press
 Ing Need of a Dentist.

The teeth of the average schoolboy or schoolgirl of this country are in bad condition. Probably eight out of ten school children, as they average, are in pressing need of the service of a dentist. Mr. Edwin Collins, editor of the Londm Dentist, says that few years ago a school committee was ap- pointed by the British Dental Asso- ciation to examine children's teeth at various ages Over 1000 mouths were examined, and more than 65 per cent of the boys and girls of an average of IL years needed treatment. In IS95, out of $500 children's mouths in spected, only BPS, or little more than on9-ffth, contained no teeth requir- ing filling or extraction. The report of the British army medical depart ment for 1890 says that 506 recruits were rejected on account of their feet4 Of the 458 girls from paroehiai schAsls in London who entered do- mestic service in one year fye-sixths had never known the use of a tooth brush. Mr Edwin Collins writes in the Nineteenth Century: If it were believed that the hands and feet Of nearly all our children were, with eyer-fnereasfng frequency, attacked by perfectly preventable diseases that lead inevitably, when not checked at an early stage, to modification and the necessary amputation, one by one, of all the fingers and toes. very little persuasion would be needed to induce parents, sehoolmasters and the public authorities to insist on a periodical examination Of the hands and feet of school children, to watch for the first premonitions of such disease, and to compel by legislation. if necessary, the early and effectual treatment of each case 2s soon as it's first symptoms showed themselves. All that has been said of the hypothetical finger and toe disease agrees in every particular with the facts in regard to dental cases.
