tumorous Jlrpartmnit. HE KNEW. The 250 pupils of the Sunday school of the Fifteenth Street Christian church had gone through their lesson yesterday forenoon, and most of the childreu were shifting their feet uneasily wheu Superintendent Earnest Forbes announced from the pulpit platform that Attorney W. O. Thomas would make a short address and then the benediction would be said. Attorney Thomas mounted the platform with a slow movement and a thoughtful air, and 500 eyes watched him as he fondled his chain and remarked that he would say a few words about the damage that whisky would do the brain when it was tukeu into the stomach. "Now," he said, "is there a boy or girl here who can tell me what is the principal constituent part of the human brain ?" That word constituent befuddled most of the little minds present; but one girl, who attends the high school on week days raised her hand and said, "Albumen." "That is right," said the lawyer, "albumen. And now can you tell me what forms the principal part of an egg?" The same girl answered "Albumen" again, and the lawyer looked pleased as he pronounced the answer correct. "Now," he continued as he laid the forefinger of his right hand in the palm of his left, "now to show you the effect of whisky on the brain, suppose I break an egg in a glass. Are you listening ?" Two hundred and fifty heads nodded earnestly. "Well, I break this egg in a glass and pour in some whisky on top of it. What do I have then ?" Attorney Thomas expected the high school girl to reply that the whisky would turn the egg white and spoil it, but she said nothing. He repeated his question, "What would I have if I poured the whisky in the glass with the egg?" "Eggnog!" shouted a little fellow on the front bench.?Portland Telegram. * T* mr/ivT Tk?

Upon the feed and care of the pigs now largely depends the next year's supply of meat for the farmer's table and the hogs that are to be marketed in the fall and early winter. A little care now will aid greatly iu securing a better growth, resulting in earlier maturity and heavier weight. Better growth and thrift, at less cost, can be secured if the pigs cun have the run of a good pasture with plenty of water and shade. But while a fair growth can be secured with good pasturage alone, to push the growth, a good feed uight and morning, must be given in addition. It is best to give all that cau be euten up clean. There is no ?dvRnf.aire in overfeedincr. but it is es """ ?? ?-Q ? - - tl I sential to the best growth to feed all that is eaten up clean. One of the very best rations for growing pigs is a slop made up with middlings and skint milk. If made and allowed to stand u few hoars all the better, but it should not be allowed to become too sour. While a rather better growth can be secured if the pigs are fed three times a day, yet is is necessary that the feeding be done regularly. It is better to feed twice a day, all they can eat, and at a regular hour, than to feed three times irregularly. Some brnn and oilmeal, or cornmeal and ground oats, can nearly always be given to make up a variety. The slops from the kitchen will add to the variety. With all kinds of stock variety of feed helps to keep up a good appetite. The pigs must have water regularly. No matter what the feed, water is essential, and nothing else should be made to take its place. The water should be pure and fresh, and should be supplied iu such a way that the animals can help themselves. It will be better if salt can be supplied in the same way, as then there is no risk of their getting too much. The better they are fed and the more fully their wants are supplied, the better will be the growth and the less the cost. The feed and care should be such that a pig will he ready for market, or to butcher, at not over nine months old. Quick growth and early maturity should be the rule with hogs intended for pork.?The Republic. FOR THUMPS. As this is the seasou for thumps, the following from the "Hogs in America" may come haudy to some who fiud the disease among their pigs. You will notice that it is always the fattest and plumpest pigs in the litter that are thus affected. We have never known a thin, half starved pig to be troubled with thumps. The disease is the result of indigestion. The symptoms are stupor, hair stands up, ears hang limp, sides thump or throb violeutly, the victim lies ou his belly, takes but little exercise and generally is troubled with a cough. It refuses to nurse or eat ami acts as though disgusted with this "vain world." The disease is kin to heaves in horses and dyspepsia in persons. The overtaxed digestive organs have revolted "are on a strike," and refuse to perform their functions. The result is impaired blood, soon affecting the lungs aud heart which has caused many persons to think it is a disease of one or both the latter organs. If taken in time it may be cured, but once securely fastened to its victim, it is better to end the struggle at once. The remedies are to cut down the food of the sow, if the pig is sucking, or if weaned, remove it from its companions and feed small feeds of shorts and sweet milk, give access to charcoal, aud make it take as much exercise as possible every day in the open air. A drop or two of turpentine in milk is good. When it has progressed so far as to affect the heart, a few drops of digitullisgiven in milk, is said tube a good remedy; two or three drops is a dose for a small pig. The attack comes usually ou from two to six weeks, although we have known it to appear at four or five months. A pijr mat has once nan me muinps shonlds never he used as a breeder, as it is likely to transmit the disease and a feeble constitution. Cutting (-lover For Hay.?The proper time to cut clover is just as it is coming into full bloom. Begin cutting after the dew has entirely disappeared, say two or three hours after sunrise. After lying in the sun two or three hours it should be carefully tedded, avoiding rough handling ami bruising. Before the dew falls in the afternoon, say about 4 or 5 o'clock, it must be raked up and placed in cocks four or five feet high. Next morning, after the sun is well up, the cocks should be opened and the hay spread not more than six inches thick. In the afternoon, about G, haul to the barn and stow away loosely until thoroughly dry. Then it may be baled or packed away closely. When first put in the barn, it is good practice to sprinkle successive layers of the hay with common salt at the rate of about half a bushel of salt to the ton of hay.? Southern Cultivator. Planting Peas.?This is the time to plant peas. David Dickenson's plan was to plant in the middle of his corn rows. Many farmers prefer planting in the rows with the corn, but by this plau the corn should be allowed to get a good start or the peas will outgrow and overshadow it. Well cured pea vine hay is equal to clover hay, and has this advantage, that all above ground may be converted into stock food, while what is left in stems, fallen leaves and roots is food for the land ; that is, supplies its deficiency and makes ready for fall crops of small grain, corn or cotton. WST The kind of food given hogs plays a large and important part as to whether the profits shall be large or small. <Tht ?(ori| <Trllrr. | THE OJTfflTTED GAMBLER j BY F. K. HAMILTON. i One of the most successful gamblers who ever worked the liue of the U. P. i railroad was a gentlemanly appearing person who rejoiced in the name of i Bill Jones. < Indeed, five years ago he was acknowledged king of card men from i Omaha to the Rockies, and no one i who knew him would play .with him. i However, the keenest of men make 1 mistakes sometimes, as the following \ incident will show : f Jones was located at Omaha, work- " ing the road from that point west, t when one day he received a call from \ an old friend and a brother rascal from \ St. Louis. "I've a bird for you to pluck, Bill," remarked the Missourian, when the J greetings were over; "he's too cuuning r for me, and you must come dowu and p help." ? "What's he worth ?" inquired Jones, t "A cool thirty," replied his friend. s "Thirty thousand! That's worth f trying for. But how do you know t thut he'll bite at all? I know many a 1 man with double thirty thousand, but t their money is jsafe from our fiugers. 4< Tbey won t piay, ana pernaps mis ^ fellow won't either. What do you t know of him?" a "Well, I will tell you. This man? v his name is Graves?made his money p in Texas, raising cattle. He has sold ii out and is now awaiting the arrival of v a friend from New York, when both li will pull out for the California coast, c They intend to go into mining, I believe. Graves is green at cards, and I yet cunning, too. He has played with us some, lost a hundred or so, but on a the whole kept about even, I reckon, J for he has a cut and deal that would f beat old Nick. The boys are disgust- p ed with him, and only hanging on to " him awaiting your arrival. You must b come." fi "The venture is a promising one," said Jones, after a little reflection. "I'll go." 4 On the run down the gambler in- 1 formed himself thoroughly of the *' haunts and habits of Graves, question- v ing his companion closely upon every 1 point. " When the two alighted from the ? train at St. Louis, they were equally well posted in all that pertained to s the Texan. ** The game was begun carefully. Jones was casually introduced,, and J? met Graves in company with other " gentlemen of leisure at various loung- s olimit fha aifv *1 lug pia\z^O buv Vivj . , On the evening of the third day the 3 two met for the first time over the 1 cards. Both played moderately, Graves , being the winner. Neither drank nor ^ smoked. This did not please Jones, 3 for wine aided him materially, and he 8 always introduced it if possible. 0 Graves, however, always a light 0 drinker, could not be forced to drink c at all while playing. The day following a small party of ,j "bloods" visited East St. Louis, rode about the neighboring country, and returned at night in time for the theater. ^ After the play Jones proposed a .( visit to certaiu gambling houses of the city,but Graves declined accompanying the purty, and went home and went to n bed. f The next evening, however, he ac- 1 cepted an invitation to a supper at I Jones's rooms. "And now," thought 0 that worthy, "the bird is at last in my trap." There (were but four, a select compa- , ny, and when supper was over, and the 1 wine on the sideboard, cards were introduced. For sometime euchre, casino, or old f sledge was played, no money appear- .' ing upon either. At length, however, -T La Grange, one of the guests, cried : "What a hand for poker! I'll dou ble any gentleman Here!" "Done, for fifty !" cried his companion stool-pigeon, und one Sid Church, he threw a hill upon the tahle. The others remained silent. La Grange counted out $100 and laid his cards upon the tahle before him. Church laughed. "I thought you spoke too quick, Charley," said he, smilingly drawing the money toward him. "Three of a kind heats two pair, even ifthey are aces and jacks." "You are right, by Jove! replied La Grange; "and it has cost me something to learn it. But I'll be even with you yet. Deal again !" And so the gambling begun. For nearly an hour the play was quite even, no one winning or losing any large amount. Then there came a change. y At one hand both La Grange and Church threw up their cards, while Jones and Graves remained in. s The betting was now between them alone. j Anyone watching the faces of the ? stool-pigeons would have known that ti their duty was over. ? Jones was to finish the game, and jj fleece his victim. c. Slowly but surely the game went on, b the wager increasing until the "pot" v1' contained something like $2,000. j(( The gambler had just "raised" the p stake another hundred, when Graves, ? as coolly as though hettiug a bottle of j* wine, drew from an inner pocket 10 K crisp bills, and threw them on the ft table. 8 "I see your 100 and raise it $10,000! Jones started, but instantly recovering, he produced a long buckskin bag filled with double eagles, and counting out the requisite sum, cried : "I call!" The cards fell. "Three queens and a jack beat three -? jacks and a queen ! The money is J mine!" and the hand of the gambler s< clutched nervously at the valuable a1 heap before him. F "Have a care, ray friend," said [iraves, with a threatening ring in his Lone, and he clutched the other's wrist is with a vise; "read the cards again." There was one instant of deathly silence, then, with a shriek, the man sprang from his chair, fairly frothing n rage. "Four knaves ! Four! You have rung n a cold deck. You have cheated ne ; I hold the other jack, and the noney is mine! You have cheated ine, jurses on you!" There was a sudden gleam of steel, i quick motion or two, and a whizzing 11 the air, a nietnlic rattle, and the Bowie-knife which Jones had drawn ay iu the farther corner of the room, vhile cool and pale, with an eye like a lame and a hand like marble, Graves tood leaning across the table covering he cowed gambler and his associates villi the muzzles of two heavy revolvers ! "Listen," said lie, with a sneer. "Bill Jones, you took me for a 'Hat,' :ou thougnt to 'uo me as a simpie anger, a 'green' fresh from prairie ;rass. Why, you poor fool, I came to >t. Louis with no other purpose than o meet you. .See !" and with a single hake of the head his long mustache ell from his face. "See! Have you :ver heard of St. Clair, of New Oreans, King of the Creoles, the halfireed gambler? I am the man ! Your cold deck' was too old a game for me, !30,000 you would win and $10,000 uore are mine. Gentlemen, I bid you ill goodnight?call when down," and vith a fling of his arm he swept the >ile of gold aud bills from the table nto his hat and bowed himself backvard from the room, still covering lis retreat with the deadly blackuouthed tubes. The door swung silently into place iehind him. "Duped ! Caught in my own trap nd bled almost to death," yelled ones, hurling half a dozen packs of alse cards, which he drew from his locket, at his trembling confederates. Go! curse you, before I kill you iotb. This trip to St. Louis has been a iue one, and cost me $10,000.00." A Hotel Hoodoo.?"Don't shut hat book.

The clerk insisted nd the visitor returned to open the iook and ask an explanation. "Why, don't you know.," the clerk aid, "that if you shut a hotel register nd don't re-open it yourself, you hooloo the book ? The next person registering on that book is sure to be a leadbeat. At least, that is the univeral superstition among hotel men, and ay observation has been that there is omething in it. I wouldn't open hat book tonight.
