If an$ person shall set up or establish, or cause to be set up or established, in any bouse, room, out-house, tent, booth, arbor or other place whatsoever, any game or device of address, or hazard, with cards, dice, billiard balls, shuffle boards, or any other instrument, article or thing whatsoever, heretofore or which hereafti r may bo invented, used and employed, at which money or other valuable thing: may or hhull bo played for, or staked or Kitted upon; or if any person snail pnttum, permit, Buffer and allow persons it; collect and Bsorable in his bouse, room, out-house, booth, tent arbor or other place whatsoever, under his control, for the purpose of playing at, and staking or bolting upon suoh game or device of address, or hazard, money or other valuable thing, or if any person being the owner, tenant, lessee or occupant of any bouse, room, out-houSe, tent, b'Wth, arbor or other place whatsoever, shall lease, hire or rent the same, or any part thereof, to be used and occupied, or employed, for the purpose of playing at, or staking and betting (upon such game or device Cuts the Fuel Bill in Half For Soft Coal, Lignite or Hard Coal As you know fully one-half the carbon available for heat in soft coal is gas, the entire gas supply used for fuel and illumination in many cities and towns being made from common soft coal. The ordinary stove in burning soft coal allows this gas half of the fuel to pass up the chimney unburned, thus wasting it as a heat producer. Cole's Original Hot Blast Stove, by means of the patented Hot Blast draft and other patented' features, distills this gas from the upper surface of the coal, utilizing it as a heat producer along with the fixed carbon or coke in the coal, thus burning all the coal.

That is what you do when you buy a cheaply constructed, putty jointed, showy made imitation stove. t,ike all successful inventions, Colo's Original Hot Blast has many inferior imitations, avoid them. They all lack the patented features and careful construction, which make the Original Hot Blast a great success.

Your old stove and imitation Hot Blast are not air tight, do not save the escaping gases and do not give you a warm house at night. You cannot afford to say to yourself "My old stove will have to do this winter." The old stove is ts jg up the price ot a new stove every year. Wot only that, but on top of the cost is the unsatisfactory result it . gives. It is always out the coldest morning. Even Heat Day and Night Fire Never Out Cole's Hot Blast is so perfect in construction that fire keeps all night, and when the draft is opened in the morn ing will burn two or three hours with the fuel put in the night before.

Alter dinner the woman called on two friends. They were a married cou ple. They had not been married so very long. Tho wife, who wns suffering from a light, coltl, lay on the couch among the pillows. Site had on n red kimono. Site was very pretty, with the red to match In her cheeks. In her hands was a book. It happened to be of the same color as her kimono, which wns also pretty. Attached to her book was a tiuy little electric light, with a shade. The battery lay by her Fide. The husband reseated himself at -the center table. By his side was an open book with a paper knife keeping the place for him. It was under the read ing lamp. "How long have you been married now?'' asked the woman as site took her seat in a big armchair. "About six months," said they simul taneously. Tho woman, who had just come from a gay dinner party where she had laughed for two hours with a lot of friends, glanced quickly from one to the other, taking iu the books, the lamps, their attitudes of repose, the quiet of the room, the air of having fin ished with fun altogether. "I see," said site. "I know how It Is. I usetl to be married. I read then, and read and read. I nearly put my eyes out rending. I rend sometimes till 3 o'clock In the morning and after." "I do that now," smiled the wife. "Really," went on the woman, "I think there wasn't a book that came out then I didn't read. I devoured them onmlvorously." "And now?" said they. The woman smiled serenely at them from the recess of her big armchair. "Now," snitl she, "I never read a sin gle book Hint'B on the market. I don't know what's come out, and I don't care. I go by bookstands from ono year's end to the other and never thluk of them." "Why?" asked they. "I'm no longer married," explained tho woman. "I no longer vegetate and read and read and .vegetate. I live now," sito added. New York Tress. BITS FROM THE AUTHORS. Iu tho very unfairness of women Is often to be found the main source of their fascination. Mrs. C'ralgle.

Doomed to Bachelorhood. A little five-year-old was in a dolor ous quandary. He hnd Just been told of tho nppruuchlng nuptials of his Un cle Will, and he suddenly evinced a great interest hi the subject of matri mony. 'Mamma," he said after pouderlng the matter for awhile, "can folks mar ry their sisters?" "No," answered she; "they have to marry some oue else's sisters." 'Well, can't they marry cousins?" persisted the youthful seeker after knowledge. "No, uot even cousins," said mamma. "Then what In tho world will I do?" walled he. "Sister Margaret and Cous in Daisy are the only little girls I know." New York Tress. Onnrlnu; ghoea and Periwigs. An advertisement appears In No. 180 of tho Tattlsr informing the public that a stagecoach runs from Nuudo's coffee house to Mr. Tiptoe's dancing school, adding a postscript: "Dancing shoes not exceeding four luches In height In the heels and periwigs not exceeding three feet iu length are carried la the coacb box gratis." This, of course, was a satire upon the mob caps, conical hats, flowers, feathers and representation:! iu glass of butterflies, caterpillurs and even miniature coaches and horses with which the fine lady of the day adorned her head.

They were playing a quiet rubber of whist mid had lulled for u uew deck of cards. One of the players was an old timer, u card player of years of ex perience, and he took up the old worn out cart.s mid put them on the window bill, "Throw them in the lire," said the young man who was his partner. "What!" said the elder. "Throw a pack of cards iu the lire' Young man, you Uon't know what yon are talking about. I wouldn't do It for $1,0(10." ."Why not?" "Superstition," was the answer. "Burn a pack of cards and they'll never give you another hand and will mock you to the last. They're bud enough at best, but you never saw a gambler curse the cards or nlutse th mi or burn Iheiu or otherwise ill treat them. lie doesn't dare to. I kuow a successful' curd player who did it. lie was dwell ing on velvet then. In it year he was tl beggar, and he never won a game worth mentioning forever after. It's a whim, but Hie gentlemen of the cloth of green respect It. They' won't burn a puck of cards." Tonic Efl'ert of LttiiRliter. , We are not disposed to say anything about the physiology of laughter, but we are prepared t ) alllrin that as a tonic there Is nothing within the pos-' slbllitios of human experience that can mutch a good, hearty laugh. There Is something t'.cmocratic about a laugh that tmiluM it impossible to distinguish whether It Is u prince or a plebeian who Is moved to merriment. Hardly greater trngl'i'. could be perpetrated than to wrest the power of song from the birds, but that would be n small calamity cumpiired with the filching of laughter from life. If the conditions of this world could be such as to afford to every human bring the frequent en joyment of a pure, hearty peal of laughter, there would be no need thut other favors be conferred. This alone would be ample testimony that happi ness was paramount lu the lives of men. Baltimore Herald. "Shoddy." It Is old wool redressed by scientific and clean methods. It Is a component of most of the woolen garments of to tluy. The world does not grow enough wool to enable us to have u constant supply of uew woolen garments except with the aid of shoddy: It is shoddy that has enabled the workiugmun to buy a new suit of clothes ut the price of a week's wage. In the olden days uu old all woolen garment was so ex pensive that It had to last Its owner many years unless lie were a wealthy man. It Is better hygiene for a man lo buy two new shoddy suits a year than to buy au all wool garment which lim it last him two years. Most of tho doilies we wear, In fuct, contain an element of shoddy and, so fur from be ing (lie worse for It, ore the better Magazine of Commerce. iTeurlnu; Cnrda. To tear u puck of cards in two is re garded by some as a marvelous feat of strength, and yet the trick Is possible to any one with fulrly strong fingers. The secret of the trick lies In the fact that the entire pack Is not torn at once, but lu pretending to get a grip ou tho pack the strong man so manipulates the curds that they overlap. Iu this way but o single card Is torn at a tlrao, aud ouce the surface Is torn the rest Is easy. To auy one who cuu hold a pack of curds linnly the trick Is fulrly eusy, and while In olden times u single pack of curds was considered to be the limit of strength many of our strong men tear three and four pucks at a tlino. The curdd are restored to their orlgl ual form before being giveu out for examination, aud so the trick escapes detectlou. A W'outlcrftil Banyan Tree. The finest botanical gardens iu tho world are Justly claimed by Calcutta, that city of "palaces aud pigsties" and statues.

Irvlilfr and Hamlet. "Hamlet" was the first piny Sir Hen ry Irving Baw as a boy. Sninuel Thelps was In the title role. Some time after ward Thelps was persuaded to listen to a recitation by Irving, and after praising the young man the celebrated actor gave him this characteristic ad vice: "Young man, have nothing to do with the stage. It is a bad profession." Considerate. "Well, Tommy, are you vory good to your llttlo sister?" asked tho friend of tho family. "Sure," replied Tommy. "1 eat all the cuudy 'cause it mukes her sick."

A dealer in spices In New York held up a small bottlo filled with a pale am ber liquid. . "Smell It," he snid, draw ing the cork. The visitor iuhuled an odor which seemed to call up visions of orange uud citon groves of ancient Greek fume. "It's the genuine oil of lemons," said the dealer in response to a look of In quiry. "That is all I have left of a pound of the oil, aud It took 1,200 lem ons to produce it. lluther expensive stuff, nlnmst equal to that of attar of roses. The method of obtaining the oil is tedious. A man lias a big, dry, clean sponge before him on a table. He takes strips of the lemon peel, gives them a certain twist which breaks the cells and sends the oil out in a Due spray on the sponge. He has to work quickly to nvold evaporation. "When the sponge has taken up the sprays of about a hundred rinds It Is wet enough to bo squeezed out. An ounce or so of clear and fragrant oil I then flows from It." Irving'! First Success. Iu 1874 Henry Irving achieved an im mense success by bis performance of "Hamlet" at the London Lyceum thea ter. Ills interpretation of the part was r.o striking and unusual that the play had a run unprecedented nt that time, continuing for 200 nights. Of his ex perience in playing this purt Sir Henry gave, some years before his death, an Interesting account. "I can always tell," he said, "when the audience is with me. It wns not with me on the first night of 'Hamlet,' which Is perhaps curious, considering my subsequent success. On the flr.tt night I felt thut the audience did not go with me until the first meeting with Ophelia, when they changed toward me entirely. But as nlgiit succeeded night my Hamlet grew in their esti mation. I could feel it ail the time, und uow I know thut they like It that they ure with me heart aud soul." Harper's. Honr an Ornnsr Outiing Travels. It is a most Interesting sight to watch au oruug outang make its way through the Jungle. It walks slowly along the lurger branches In a semi- erect attitude, this being apparently caused by the length of its arms aud tho shortness-of Its legs. It invariably selects those branches which intermin gle with those of a neighboring tree, on approaching which it stretches out Its long arm and, grasping the boughs opposite, seems first to shake them as If to test their strength and then de liberately swings Itself across to the next brunch, which It walks along, as before. It does not Jump or spring, as monkeys usually do, and never appears to hurry itself unless some real danger presents. Y'et, In spite of Its apparent ly slow movements, it gets along far quicker than a person running through the forest beneath. Popular Magazine. Sickened ot the Scalpel. An extraordinary event led Lnssone, physician to Louis XVI. of Frnnce, to abandon his anatomical studies.' While selecting from among some dead bod ies a suitable subject for dissection he imagined thut ono of them showed doubtful signs of death and sought to revive a life which was perhaps not extinguished. His efforts were crown ed with success. Ho cured tho man, and as he was poor nourished aud sup ported him, but the Idea of having beeu ou tho point of committing a crime so affected Lassone that he felt himself unable to pursue his accus tomed labors, and from that tiuie for ward tho study of natural history and chemistry took tho place of that of anatomy. Penat of Kisses. Hulmngeu, In Uouuinnla, possesses a public festival which Is probably unique In tho world. It Is a little town of about 1,200 inhabitants, aud on tho morning of Its annual fair day the population from about eighty villages come trooping In in swarms. To them go out all the young women, married or single, of Ualmngen, each bearing a small flower garland and vessel of wine, and all attended by their god mothers. This last precaution is taken from motives of deference for Mrs. Grundy. As the visitors approach, the young women offer to each a taste of wine and a kiss. Trothfal. Excited Fisherman (to country hotel keeper) There Isn't a bit of fishing about here. Every brook has a sign warning people off. What do you mean by lurlug auglers here with the prom ise of fine fishing? Hotel Keeper 1 didn't say anything about fine fishing. If you read my advertisement careful ly you will see that what I said was, 'Fishing unapproachable.' " Hia Reirular Baalneaa. "Isn't It taking your son a long time lo get through college?

Effective. "What do you regard as the best protection from burglars?" "Well, I have found that being Inde pendently poor Is effective." St Louis Post-Dispatch. Collar as a Verb. The verb "collar" Ins long been used transitively, meaning to "si::o op take hold of a person by the collar; more loosely, to, capture." The verb was thus employed early iu (ho : evruteeuth; century. Steele, In (lie Gtmrillau. No. 84, wrote, "If you invite:! him not to collar any man." OiVr Instances nre: Gentleman's Magazine, ;rc, "His lord ship collared the' footman who threw It," and Marrynl's sentence In "Teter Hiinple," "He wns collared by two French soldiers."
