In This Poker Game an Ace Full Beat Fours. There was a game of draw poker played on the bank of the bay, near the Pittsburgh docks quite recently, says the Erie Dispatch, which an eyewitness would like to have referred to some au- thority on the game for decision as to the value of a “hand." Two white men were playing and a colored man came along and wanted to set in with them, which was prompt- ly agreed to, as “soft snaps” are not picked up every day, and a jackpot was soon opened by one of the white men on a pair ofjacks. No. 2 dropped‘out. The negro stayed, for a glance at his hand showed three aces. In the “draw” he was given "a pair of tens. The other man drew three cards, and in the three was one more pair of jacks. Then the betting grew lively until the pot held .12, and as the white man had no more cash to bet he was forced to “call.” “I’sc got a full band; three aces and a pair 0’ tens.” “No good,” said the other; “I have four jacks,” showing them as he did so. “No good, eh?” said the negro, and with the words out. came a razor, the k s o ‘ o blade flying open as he produced it, and _ he made a sweep that caused both white men to back up, grabbed all the money and started up the hill, from which he shouted back: _ “Say, a full on aces an’ a razor beats fours, don’t they?” TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD. Instructors Sometimes Find Their Pupils Apt in Taking Advice. A good joke is told on one of the staff of the Ohio medical college, says the Cincinnati Times-Star. In a lecture to the students he advised them when they came to practice to always carry in their buggies a standard text-book, which they could consult when in doubt as to the proper course of treatment. He said they could excuse themselves from a patient on the pretext that they wished to see if their horse was standing or that they had left some particular med- icine in the buggy. The students were very attentive. A few days later one of them could not answer some pretty tough questions, and when the doctor expressed surprise he grabbed a text- book and said in a measured tone: “Excuse me, doctor, I fear my horse is not standing. I hitched him in a hurry to get by your side." He then retreated to 12:3 hallway, found the answers to he hardest questions, and, returning, answered them all correctly. The doc- tor amir‘ciated the situation and was relieved when the student’s ruse did not become contagious. THEY DRINK RED INK. Nez Perce Indians Use Red Ink as a. Sub- stitute for Liquor. The Nez Perce Indian is not averse to a little fun in his stolid way, says the Spokane Out-burst. The prevailing idea as to just what fun means held by a. great many of these Indians is getting filled up with white man’s v:l..-sky. Of course the government does not allow the sale of liquor to the Indians, but all the same the Indians find ways of get- ting liquor, and when they can’t get it they resort to lemon extract and red ink. The Indian who discovered the lemon extract was good to drink and intoxi- cating is now looked upon by his fellows as a hero whose only rival is the Siwash who found out that red ink contained 90 per cent. alcohol and ten per cent. medicine to “make Injun sick.” The In- dian agent has seen fit to warn store- keepers against selling more than one bottle of lemon extract or four bottles of red ink to any one Indian, and the In- dian who tried an admixture of alkali water and squirrel poison is now hunt- ing buffalo with his férefathers. ARTISTIC IN ALL THINGS. Showed Taste Even When Painting His Wife with Iodine. . A famous landscape painter had to call in a. doctor to see his wife, who was suffering from bronchitis. After he had examined the patient, says Tit- Bits, the doctor recommended the hus- band to take a small brush, dip it in tincture of‘iodine and slightly paint the lady’s back with it. The artist took up the brush and, after dipping it. in the tincture, pro- ceeded to carry out the doctor‘s pre- scription. ‘But his artistic tempera- ment soon got the better of his sick nursing qualities. Mistaking his Wife’s back for a can- vas, instead of simply applying the lotion he sketched out a. landscape, and gradually peopled it with figures and put in all the details complete. The patient, finding the operation a rather lengthy one, asked her husband if he had finished. And the latter, receding a few steps to examine his work, replied: _ “Another dip or two and then I can put it in the frame.” I- ‘9 ['igij‘iélRESIDE FRAGMENTS. black crust off sheet-iron frying pans, but they should be thoroughly scoured afterwards with sand soap or any good scouring soap. —-Washiug Marble Top... —— Never wash the. marble tops of wash stands or bureaus with soap.

Sculptured Busts Take the Place of Paint- ings. Busts are taking the place of oil portraits in the family art galleries pre— pared for'posterity. In them are shown better the figure, features, pose, ex- pression, size and style than in the can- vas. They lack color only, but in look- ing at a bust the absence of color is not noticed if the bust be artistically planned; and for posterity the sculp- torcd marble is in greater favor than the framed picture. It will bear more ill—usage, and, like the Venus dc Milo, will live for hundreds of years, going through fire and water and lying buried in the earth without serious impair- ment. _ Men and women artists both are do- ing the marble sculpture work. Their favorite patrons consent to sit for them at first for casts because urged to do So. When they see the plaster cast, chaste, refined and clear in all its outlines, a presentment of themselves, they readi- ly give a commission for a marble bust. The artists who do sculpturing are many. Several have achieved national reputations. Kuehne Beveridge did Cleveland and Corbett. Mrs. I-Iuneker has done Mrs. James Brown Potter, the actress, and many IVashington women. One New York artist has made marble bustsof all the leading Wall street men, casting them at leisure from mud im- pressions made while they were work- ing at their desks. His tools are a batch of clay, a broad, fiat knife, a handful of sharp modelers and abundle of wet rags for keeping the clay moist. He works while" the Wall street man is dictating his letters, getting a side view then. Later he molds rapidly when conversing with, the man face to face. The back of the head is done at luncheon time, when the head is mov- ing, to get all the life-lines, and for the last touches the busy magnate of the streets consents to walk around the room for a few minutes, stopping to view himself and criticise the work of the modeler’s hands. Modeling a. bust is easy work for the first 15 minutes. In that time the head takes shape with quick pats of the hands. out the eyes, a lump of clay molded long, like a lady finger, stands for his nose, and a sharp stroke leaves the chin free. The throat is done by a. strang- ling process of the fingers and the shoulders spatted like a pat-a-cake into broad, round shape. That is what it all looks like to the spectator. And the bust bears a quick resemblance in out- lines to the person. Here, when the first resemblance is gained, the work of the pat-a-cake man stops and the touches of the real artist begin. In a certain library there is a. bust of Peter Cooper that was molded for the 20th time before it. suited the artist. After it suited him it was molded again to suit the family. An extra stroke upon the cheeks flattened them too much, and the lack of a. stroke had left too much hair on top of the head. The same with the molding of the busts of the brokers. It was tedious work to be done many times—N. Y. World. Sick 0r Bilious Headache Cured by Taking. ”Award-ed Medal and Diploma At World’s Fair.

The rules of the. road should be rig- idly observed, alike by cyclists and rid- ers and drivers of all kinds. Outside of the matter of safety, the most vital one connected with these rules of he road, there is the element of courtesy, of course, but for the consideration of safety of life and limb, now with the advent. of the bicycle and the. homeless carriage, the rules of the road ought to receive strict. attention at the hands of, and be rigidly observed by all riders and drivershsays Cycling. ‘ The law in many states clearly de- fines that carriages, wagons, carts, sleighs, sleds, bicycles, tricycles and all other vehicles must, when in motion, keep to the right. A person driving is very properly required to have the left wheels of his vehicle on the right of the center of the street. In other words, this law is an authoritative adoption of the old motto: “Fair play and half the roar .” While bicycles are included as enjoying this privilege, and horse- men are required to extend to them the same courtesy they would another ve- hicle drawn by horses, a similar re- striction is put upon wheelmen and. wheelwomen. They, too, must turn to the right. If they fail to do so, and a collision occurs, they have no one ‘but _ themselves to hold legally accountable. THE NAME. OF “MURPHY." An Irish Clergyman Repudiatea It in Favor of the “O’JIIorehoe.” England has done many wrongs to Ireland, but one of the worst of them has only just come to light. It seems, says London Truth, that we have stolen from the Irish the ancient name of O’Morchoe and substituted for it a base English counterfeit in the shape of “Murphy.” At last one of the family, Ilev. Thomas Arthur MacMurrough Murphy, rector of Iiilternan, has deter- mined to have back the ancient family property. He now advertises through the press he has fer and on behalf of himself, his children and descendants renounced, relinquished and abandoned “my said newer or Anglieizcd, but. hitherto always by me used, name of Murphy, and that instead thereof he revives his ancient and true name of O’Morchce. Long may be live to re- joice in the recovery of his lost prop- erty! Probably when once they real- ize that they are only Anglicized O’M or- choes we shall have the whole of the great Murphy family throughout the United Kingdom, to say nothing of the colonies and the United States, follow- ing the lead of Rev. Thomas Art‘hur MaeMurrough. There is an humble article of diet (also Anglicized) which I have heard spoken of as a. ‘murphy.” Ought we to call that an O’Morchoe, too? ' ' HOW TO LIVE LONG, Marriage Is the Prescription of a Distin- guished Berlin Physician. Some curious figures have lately been made public by a celebrated Ber- lin physician, which seem to point to the. fact that if a man wants to live long and preserve his health and strength he ought to marry. Among unmarried men between the ages of 30 and 45, says Spare Moments, the death rate is 27 per cent. Among married men be- tween the same ages it is only 18 per cent. For 41 bachelors who live to be 40 years of age, 78 married men tri-' umphanlly arrive at the same period. The difference gets all the more marked as time goes on. At 60 years of age there are only 22 bachelors to 48 mar- ried men; at 70 there are 11 bachelors to 27 who were married, and by the time they reach 90 the married men are three to one, for there are nine of them to every three bachelors! And yet, in the face of facts like these, we still find men daring to remain single! It really is as much as their lives are worth, if they only come to think of it. Men may talk of their lives being shortened by domestic worries and anxieties and cares. That is all rubbish. Statistics must. tell the truth, and these statistics of the Berlin doctor say that the man who is a bachelor stands in far greater risk of a shortened span. DOES WEALTH DISPEL LOVE? A ‘Voman Who Seems to Think That It Does—Her Comment. “Did nobody ever tell you that in some far prehistoric time I was in love with my husband?” said Mrs. Romaine, carelessly, ina story in the Century. “Well, I was. 'I used to go to afternoon services in Lent and pray for that love to last, because the sensation was so much to my taste. I used to have ecstatic feelings when his foot was on the stair and I sat sewing little baby clothes. We lived in a. plainish way then; three dollars spent in two theater tickets was a tremendous outlay, and we walked to our dinners, I tucking up the train of my best gown under a long cloak, and laughing if the wind snatched it away from me at the cor- ners and whipped it around my feet. Then he grew richer, and we broad— ened the borders of our phylactery, and then—how—when—dear knows if I can remember, we grew further and fur- ther away from each other. Now, when he is at home I am aware of it, because he is there behind a newspaper, but that is all! When our lips meet it is like two pieces of dry pith coming together. I know nothing of his affairs, nor he of mine. I have money in abUndance. Money—money—who cares for money when a. man’s heart and soul and brain have gone into it?” On a Large Scale. The .largest of fruit plantations in Jamaica are owned and operated by an American company. 'It cultivates 44,000 acres, 28,000 of which it owns and 16,000 "of which it. leases. The principal crops are bananas and cocoanuts. Last year it shipped 3,000,000 bunches of bananas and 5,000,000 cocoanuts, besides other fruit, to America and elsewhere, em- ploying 11 steamers, which the come puny owns. a .4. SAILOR’S STORY. 0 Not Th’e-Pro'verblal Sailor’s Yarr. An Old Salt Speaks In Norwalk. The life of a sailor has many ups and downs. The hardships of the man who sails the briny deep are not appreciated by the land lubbers who know not what. it is to struggle with the elements to keep above Water, it. takes brawn and muecle and good constitutions, to stand it. While men, even the hardiest when they return from nautical life find the exposure has left them With a legacy. as a constant reminder of the past. And often when a. Jolly Jack Tar is relating an experience the back that has carried him through it all is burdened with a far heavier burden. Our representative had a pleasant. chat. the other day with just such a. man. A sailor for thirty years. Thos. Cooney. by name, 9. Norwalk citizen residing at No. 73 Balbor Ave. he has also held the position of 'dockmaster for ten years and to add to the difficulties he has had to contend with, he‘fell from a tree when a boy striking a fence. This accident left him with back trouble and the life on the water with its hardships added their share until he found backache was more or less a steady thing, coming on from time to time. Like most people, he did not understand that it came from the kid- neys, but. reading that Dean’s Kidney Pills cured backache he not. a box at Hale’s drug store and was surprised to find how quickly they acted. W by, says Mr. Uooney, they 51mply cured me and you may be sure I have a gem] word for Dean’s Kidney Pills they have done such good work for me. I shall be glad to tell anyone about it. who wishes to know. Its like a case of mistaken identity, Mr. Cooney did not realize that it Was kidney ache, and that his kidneys were inaured, not his back. That. exposure had simply increased the kidnev com— plications. It‘s easy for Dean’s Kidney Pills to cure such cases. For sale by all dealers.
