GAINED AND LOST FORTUNES
English Dandies Played for High
Stakes in the Latter Part of
Eighteenth Century.

Almack's was one of the famous OlG
gambling clubs of London. 1t was at
its height in the latter part of the
Eighteenth century, and the play there
was enormous. 1t was not uncommon
for the losses in a single night to
amount to upwards Of 100000.
The young men, dandies all, who in
tended to play set about the matter
with a great deal Of ceremony. They
wore straw hats with wide brims,
flower and ribbon trimmed; the brims
intended to keep the light from thei1
eyes, and that the spectators might
not see their emotions they often wore
masks. They also often took off the;1
ruff1es and silk or satin coats and wore
in their place a rough great-coat or
else wound leather bands about theil
arms to protect the delicate lace and
hues Of their coats from the soil of the
table.
At each players side was a small
table that held their tea, wine cakes
and rolls of rouleaus or chips. Most
Of the players wore long curls, eye,
glasses mounted on long sticks. were

DOG CAUGHT HIS OWN FISH
Sportsman Given Authority for Re-
markabIe Story That Appears in
a London Periodical.

The London 400" fishing cat which
so steadfastly refuses to show itself
except at meal times-has a rival in
the fishing dog, says London Answers
A sportsman was on the west coast
of Madagascar, when he observed a
dog come out of the thick bush in
front of him and trot briskly down to
the edge of the sea. When it had got
a little way into the wafer it stopped
and remained perfectly still, as a
heron might when fishing at home. Its
glance was never once taken off the
water.
Suddenly it thrust its head into an
oncoming wave, and reappeared with
large fish in it's mouth. Quickly TAX
ing it's capture ashore it squatted
down and made hearty meal. After
a while the fishing operation was re-
peated, and it was evident to the wit
ness of the incident that the dog made
q regular practice of it.
