TA.NCIES OI' UAItl) PLAYKIth.
13rrv One ho "Hits" In n Game I
Uororned by Soma Superstition.
"Card players .axe n most -superstitious
sctv1' Bltl-S. lAislness man who
will occasionally "sIP in a little gome
When tho limit Is to his liking; und tho
company bfexcopttonal quality.
"Theru was a new one on tne the
other night," lie continued, "for one of
the men, when wo were taking seats
shifted his position because he wanted
to play with the grain of tho table.
That is, ho wnnted tho cards to come
to him with the grain of the round
tablo and not crossvvnys. This was a
now ono, as I said, but it recalled the
fact that nil of them have a weakness.
Por instance, where Is the card player
who will piny carile while some out
sider has a foot on the lung of his
chair. Then there is the other fellow
who will get up nnd walk nround his
chair to chnnge his luck, nnd the oth
er who will never lend a chip If he is
winning. Why, I saw a man tho oth
er night who refused a chip or two to
a neighbor ln the game, but he went
down In his trousers, pulled out a roll
and handed his friend an X and told
him to buy a few fiom the banker.
"Poker, too, has given the countiy
some of the richest of slnng. Take the
word 'bluff and where can jou find a
hotter word. I suppose It is In the
'Century' and the 'Standard,' or if It
Isn't it should be, for the word Is com
pletely accepted now by tho best of
vv liters everywhere, in this countiy
and Kngland, too.
" 'Standing pat,' was used In a court
room a short time ago. Somo lawyer
was asked by the Judge what ho In
tended to do after a certain decielon
had been tendered on a motion. He
taid he guessed he would 'stand pat.'
It wasn't strange that the Judge com
prehended the situation and without a
word went on nfter the other lawyer
said that ills opponent would do well
'to draw cards, as standing pat had
no terrors for him.' More than thnt,
every reference was thoroughly under
stood by every lawyer within the rail
ing. It wafl Just at this time that the
Judge added to the confusion by order
ing one of the bailiffs to turn on the
steam, as his feet were cold. For the
benefit of the uninitiated it lsvvorthsay
Ing that the cold feet refers to a habit
of some small gamblers who play for
the money that is In It, saying ns an
excuse, 'My feet are cold,' and getting
out of the game when they aro ahead.
"That reminds me that women as
well as men are natural gamblers, and,
In consequence, there have been many
friendships of long standing among wo
men ruined forever by progressive
euchre. Why, I have played in games
where the cheating of come of tho wo
men was as palpable to a man who Is
accustomed to card playing as the nose
on your face. But I said nothing, as
the woman would have been mad and
denied everything and placed me In
the hole. Look nt the prizes they play
for now.
"There's the head prize for men and
women, nnd the booby, or consolation,
prize for men. Then there are sec
ond and third prizes, and the prize for
making the greatest number of points
and the prize for tho least number and
a prize for the greatest number of
mistakes, and the Lord knows how
many otheis. It's a regular gambling
game, but the same who indulge in that
kind of sport will jump on n man who
plays a little quiet game of poker at
home.
"Nor is the gambling spirit obliterat
ed from the progressive hoelal games
entirely, for there wao a game I heard
of where the head pilze was made up
of five $5 gold pieces, all tied up with
blue ribbon, and you bet the men In
that game were vvoiklng hard for the
head prize, for some of them cheated,
but, as a lady who was a guest at the
home of the hostess got all the man,
and tho hostess did the punching of the
tickets, there was a faint suspicion
that a few extra holes got Into the
young ladj's caid by mistake on pur
pose. Hut, of couise, I don't make a
charge like that; I'm only thinking"
In reply to a query, "What's your
superstition?" the talker said. "I've
only one. I won't play ln a game when
I have on a single thing that lias
never been worn before not even a
necktie. Takes my mind away from
the1 game, and, therefore, I never wear
a new thing when I am going to play
poker." Cincinnati Comercial-Tilbune.

Statistic from n New I3nclnml Cltv
Show One Tub to Nine Pomona.
From the Springfield Republican.
The interesting section of the recent
reports of the superintendent of schools,
which deals with the necessity of baths
In the public schools, contains some
statistics which h'ave been gatheicd nn
the subject In other cities, showing
what proportion of the families nie
provided with bathtubs In their homes
rortunatelv it Is possible to obtain
similar figures fiom the water depart
ment In this city The table of statis
tics gotten up every year by the de
pat tment in connection with Its an mi
ni report has contained information on
this point since 1871. These tables form
a vny interesting Htudy in themselves
ns showing- how this hand-maiden of
civilization, the bathtub, has forced an
appreciation of its humble but refining
offlces Into the minds of the people.
In IS74 less than one-eighth of the
families who were served by the water
works, which means practically the
whole population, were equipped with
bathtubs; In 18S0, a little more than a
sixth; In 1890 something more than a
fourth, wiille for the post three years
the proportion han stood still nt Just
about one-half. In the table for 1897,
which is Just being made out, thera are
6,595 out of 13,175 families who are
supplied with soaking facilities. As
there are 4.39 people in each family
ln the city, according to tho census of
1S3i, we have about one tub to eveiy
nino people. Unfortunately the tables
made out here do not contain tabula
tions ot this matter by dlstilcts, but,
of course, the percentage of families
supplied must vary largely In the dif
ferent sections of tho city. It Is
thought, however, that tho proportion
of this convenience to the. population
Is much larger here thun Is common,
as would naturally be i-xpected, both
by the nature of our Inhabitants and
bv the fact that a very largo propor
tion of the huuses in which our popu
lation lives are modem.
It will bo seen by tho Springfield
table, however, that the statistics of
Dr. Kobe, made ten years ago, which
were quoted by Dr. Halllet, do not real
ly represent tho conditions of today,
from the fact th'at such an enormous
Increase in the use of this convenience
has come about since that time. Somo
sample figures from the water report
of past yenrs in this city follow; they
Include, of course, all tho bathtubs In
tho city, some of which are In public
places, but theso nro not enough to
alter tho proportion to any degree;

THE BEST
WASHING POWDER
THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, March 23. The doubt over
the outcome of the Cuban controversy
between the United States and Spain
was a depressing influence ln the stock
market today as It was In every mar
ket for securities In the world. In
Fails the weakness of Spanish fours
affected all other securities by sym
pathy and 'the same lnlluence weak
ened the markets In London and Ber
lin, tho heaviness of American railroad
fcecmitles being an additional factor at
the latter two centers. On tho local
exchange there was a well defined bull
party whose operations were attended
with more or less success, thus sub
tracting very materially from the sum
of depression. The motive publicly
avowed by this bull party for Its atti
tude is that prices are lower than are
warranted bv Intrinsic values and by
the political outlook. But It is doubt
less Influenced also by the technical
condition of the market, which Is full
of short contracts waiting to be cov
eted on the expected slump on antici
pated decisive developments in the
Cuban situation, There is a tempta
tion for a bull clique to mark up prices
ln such a market and force the bears
to cover. The success of the bulls to
day was only moderate ln Inducing
covering, but they did discourage
further short selling and twice rallied
prices from declines running up to a
point or over ln many prominent stocks.
The market closed with one of these
rallies in force, so that net changes are
for the most part insignificant and
there Is a fair sprinkling of gains.
Total sales of stocks were 29S.0OO
shares.

TtXiTlOX IN CUBA.
Somo Illustration ol tho I'orrnding
DishnnoHty ol Spanish llnlo.
Havana Letter In Hartford Courant
A great deal of lngenultv Is shown in
devising ways to tux tho people of
Cuba Of course ever thing imported
fiom tlie iTnitcd Stiics is taxed almost
lo piohihltlou Spain deslies tn fur
nish tho necessities ns well as luxuries.
Apples from the states sell at 50 cents
a dozen, lager beer, 31 cents a bottle,
etc. The internal revenue Is very se
vere. All legal documents must bo
made out on official paper, which la
sold for from 5 cents to 15 cents a sheet.
Tho cigar stands do not furnish you
with a light If you purchase a cigar.
You have to buy a box of matches for.
3 cents, on which there is a 1-cent;
stamp, A person who puts up a bust-
new sign Is taxed m much a letter
according to the len-?th of hlb name. A
bat bet- economizes by having a pair of
MisaoiH nnd a razor palnU'd for a bign.
If a innn is taxed for $100, $10 more s
nddoj for the expense of collecting It
Tho sea's ln public parks are let to
contractor who charge, duiing evening
home, 5 to 10 cents each tor thsm ac
101 ding to whether tho chairs have
side arms or not. And so on in a mul
titude of ways that make life a bur
den to tho jesldenta, With all this
taxation wo aro told Cuba has never
been a profitable colony for Spain
there have been so many officials fatted
at tho public crib I met an Amerlcun
in Havana who had done considerable
exporting from tho Island. The excise
duty on ono occasion amounted to
about J1.S00, Tho gentlemanly and
courteous olilclals presented tho export
er with a handsome diamond scarf pin,
which he ald he was ashamed to
vvetr anywhere except in Havana. Is
it a wonder that tho Cubans want to
tot posses-don of the offices?
