CARD PLAYERS SUPERSTITIoUs.
One Mans Unlucky Month-Onlooker
Who Brought Ill Luck.

Card playing gives an observer an in
sight into one of the many curious phases
of human nature-the almost universal
belief in luck even among educated men
of more than average intelligence.
One player l knew WE'LL must admit
he also believed in astrology-who abso-
lutely refused to play cards during one
special month in each year, because he
had reason to believe that that month
was unlucky for him. Yet he was one
of the most level headed card players |
have known and in ordinary, matters a
man of great common sense.
l was at one time intimately acquaint-
ed with a club where the stakes played
for were comparatively high, and the
play was consequently very goou, and
! where the players were with hardly an
| exception hard headed men who were
keen about winning and who were at
the same time a sin2ulariy social. kindly
and liberal minded body of men. Among
| the members was a very pleasant, quiet
| old gentleman whose only occupation
was to spend his days at his club. and
especially in its card room.
At the period when | first knew him
! he had ceased playing cards himself
but was extremely fond of watching 9th
| or people play. He was the most inof-
! ienslve of spectators, never made COM
| iiViIS Or 'liLictSlHS anu SIMPLY amused
! himself in watching the fall of the cards.
! Gradually however, experience showed
or was imagined to show--that any play
! er whose cards he overlooked held bad
hands with, as it was asserted, an ex-
| traordinary regularity.
! He invariably asked permission be-
fore sitting down beside a player, and
the moment the player held bad cards he
offered without being asked, to leave the
/ table-an offer which, l am ashamed to
/ say, was invariably accepted. To put
the fact plainly, he was tabooed from
watching card playing because he was
! supposed to bring i'll luck by the mere
| fact Of his vicinity.-Pall Mall Maya

ANT CAKES IN NEW YORK.
Some Persons Think Them Delicious
Other Queer EdibIes.

People who are looking for queer
things to eat have found them in shop
conducted by a Chinaman. The sign on
the door reads, Strange Food--Ex-
OticS"
Among his queer commodities are ant
cakes, small biscuits of gray color at
500 apiece. They are made of the
dried and compressed bodies of African
white ants
according to What to East the dealer
sells about a hundred of these cakes
every month. New Workers who have ac-
qulred IL taste for them declare them de-
icious
Another of his edibles for which Il de-
mand has been created is real Oriental
chowchow. This is not the cheap pickle
connection that Americans call by that
name. This chowchow is a compound of
bruised vegetables. very odd and bitter
IN taste and very costly. The price is
Sl.50 a pint
French families and others buy from
the Cinnamon large quantities of edible
Snalls. When filled with the green butter
that gives them sucCulence-escargot
hutter-they cost ten cents apiece
The Chinaman sells betelnut, which in
the Orient is chewed like tobacco A box
OF ground bete weighing half pound
costs dollar. Half a teaspoonful of the
powdered nut is wrapped in a leaf and
Chewed with a pinch of lime Though it
darkens the enamel it is said to preserve

BUY SPRINGFIELD STORE.
Houghton g. Simonds Will Establish
Branch in That Hustling Town.

Houghton & Simonds have purchased
this week the Springfield Department
store in Springfield, VT, of Z. H. Kim
ball. 1t is the corner store in the
Adnabrown Hotel block and was for
merly owned for many years by Reyes
& Hill. The stock consists mostly of
dry goods with departments of grocer
les and shoes. The last two, however,
will be discontinued at once and the
entire store after clearance sale will
be devoted to drygoods, while a large
daylight basement will be fitted up as
a model garment department. New fix
lures will be installed and the owner of
the block will put in new show win
dows and a handsome new corner en-
trance. As soon as the alterations are
completed the store will be stocked
with a large and complete new line of
dry goods, fancy goods and garments.
BY having the outlet of two stores
Houghton & Simonds will be enabled
to obtain lower prices when purchasing
many lines of goods. 4. NJ. Houghton,
who has had charge of the mail-order
department of the BrattleborO store,
will be manager of the Springfield
store and has already taken up his
residence in that town. Springfield is
at present the "boom town. of Yer
mont. Besides additions to all the
present factories The Jones & Lamson
Machine company is constructing a new
shop 400 feet long which will employ
from $50 to 300 men, and one man
alone is building % new tenements.
