Beaten By the ‘Bank"—The Denver Kid" Playing in Chicago in | Hard Luck Chicago Tr The “Kid from Denver” is just now the wonder of the local sporting world. The “Kid” isa youth of the ‘‘candy- butcher” or train-boy order He has large, gray eyes and brown hair, a pale, | but well-fed look, is something of a dude in dress, an inveterate smoker, and is said to wear the finest diamond sported by any chap of his age in the west, The “Kid" has money, which is | his most distinctive possession. Where | he got it nobody knows, but, judging by the layish way in which he scatters it around, one might suppose he had either inherited a gold mine or discovered Alad- din'slamp. He has been a periodical vis- itor at the gambling-tables of Chicago for a week or ten days past, and yet he has formed no alliances and remains as much of a mystery as A description of one of his visits will serve to illustrete his methods. One night in the early part of the woek he entered a gambling-house on Clark strect where a heavy game of faro in dexlt, supposedly “‘on the square.” In the midst of the game he pressed up to the table and threw down a %20 gold phece, “‘Stack, sir?" asked the dealer, hand- ing out #5 worth of white chips. For answer the *‘Kid” threw down four other gold pieces of the same de- nomination and said *‘Red chips.” The dealer'’s countenauce changed slightly as he pushed forward the five stacks of chips, These were immediato- ly placed upon five case cards, after which the youth bit off the end of an unlighted cigar he held in his mouth and carelessly watched the successive turns of the hox., Every bet was lost, and the dealer raked in the chips with the usual hugging, fond- ng movement which accompanies & big winning for the bank. Then the left hand of the youth went into the inside breast pocket of his coat. and out with it came three bills of %50 each, which he threw down upon the green cloth, calling this time for blue chips, which are worth 85 nllni(-ro in the game. These were scat- tered in piles on various cards, all of which lost but one. This was a bet of two chips. The bet was not touched, and on the seconc turn it doubled making in all 240. On_the following turn the man at the box hugged it in. The “Kid" was still unmoved, and,with- outa tremor or sign of trepidation, thrust his hands into his pants pocket and drew out another wad of bills, which were tossed to the dealer. “One hundred,” said the deales as he counted the tens. ““Blue chips,” was the response. The youth made four bets and lost, || after which he lighted his cigar and walked away as if he had some other trifling husiness to attend to. “‘He's a good 'un,” said an old-timer, as he made a fifty cent bet. ‘‘He plays right,” said another. If a man wants to win he can't hold his money in his hand. It must go on cards.” That's twice I've seen him in a week,"” said the first speaker. ‘I hear he's lost about $4,000 since he's been here, but they say he turned up a box in Denver and took all the bank had.” Ange—The Seedy Hab- mbler's Alley, “Broke" on C] itues of' Chicago Tribune, &\ very seedy, i'u extremely dignified eldérly individual emerged from an adja- cent bucket-shop and joined the crowd of excited speculators coi’lccted in GGamblers' alley. ‘‘That man,” said a habitue of the lo- cality, to a_ reporter, *‘was rich a few years ago. He had cash in the hank,real estate, and securities enough to make him worth 8150,000. Now he hasn't a a dollar, I verily believe. How did he lose it’ The same way he made it— spoculation, and a good deal of whisky mixed in to quicken the process of get- ting rid of his wealth. “‘He is a fair type of a class well rep- resented around here,” the speaker con- tinued. “There are a dozen of them who at somo time have been positively rich, and numberless others in the daffer- ent grades of well-off to comfortably- fixed and independent. To all alike a five-dollar bill now is a rarity seldom pos- sessed. There is one who less than five f’um' o made £140,000 in a single deal ut never saw a dollar of He hung on to make more, and when the market turned lost not only every peuny of that big profit, but all he possessed besides, and his membership certificate in the board also. The shoek atfected his mind alittle, Another had $125,000 and lost all in a few months. Aunother, two years ago was a big commission-merchant, rich and influential, now a wreck. Another drew %5,000 every month from his com- missions and lived nearly up to it; now he hasn't a dollar. There are plenty of them, elderly men generally, too old to begin anow. “Usually liquor is as much to blame for their present state as the change in their luck. They hang around the came they can no louger play. Its fascination 18 just as strong as in the days of their good fortune. Still possessing a large o of acquaintances auong the com- mission men, they are bete noir of brokers' lives, One of them will walk into his cld broker's oftice and beg him to. make & trade for his aceount For the suke of old times he does so. Usually it's a loss and the broker has to pocket it. I3ut that doesn't deter the broken down spoculator, He repeats the request again, and of course is refused, although its un- pleasaut and hard to the commission-man to say ‘no,’ “They rarely recover lost fortune, or any part of it. Their luck might change but then habits never do.” — 84y Fraxcisco, CaL.—The Denmocrat of this city, the most influential and widely circulated German newspaper along the entire Pacitic Slope, people say, that for the cure of bodily pain, St. Ja cobs Oil hius 1o equal, e — Diphteria, Hall's Jouraal of Health, Diphtheria is generated by breathing impure air, such as come from damp apart- ments, dirty cellars, gutter:, sinks, decay- ing matters, pools of standing liquids, and other sources of filth, It is usually confined to persons from two to fifteen years of ago. Theatmosphere, the breath- ing of which causes the discase, se ing for a physician, as the march of the disease is always rapid, and its viralence increases every hour. As with most other diseases, diphtheria is more likely to attack those whose sys- tems have been debilitated by illnees, poor diet, or any cause whatever, Any irritation of the throat prepares the way for the disease. Any person affected should be taken to an upper room, into which no one should come except those in perfect health, and who have not the slightest scratch or sore on any part of the body, particularly the hands. The room should be ventilated all the time, all discharge should be quickly removed, the clothing frequently changed, and at once covered with water containing car- bolic acid. Diphtheria taken from another person is more malignant than that generated by bad air, TREATMENT OF DIPATHERIA, One of the best plans of treatment is the following Giargle—Chlorate of potassa, 2 drams; hot water, 6 ounces; alcohol, 4 dran creosote, 8 drops; muratic acid, 30 drops. This to be used as a gargle every thirty minutes, Internally, use the following remedy: ounces; sugar, 1 ounce; tincture of muri- ate of iron, 2 drams. Dose It is claimed that the above treatment will cure nineteen cases out of twenty. The principal point is to find out what will destroy the bacterin, Tannin will kill them in two hours, A solution of copperas, that is, sulphate of iron, will kill them; also chlorine water and diluted muratic, sulphuric and nitric acids. If copperas is used as a argle, it should not be stronger than a piece half a8 large as a nutnic g, dissolved in a pint of water; or a level teaspoon of tannin disolved in a teaspoonfull of warm water; but it is hetter to rely on chlorine washes above named;and it would be a safe plan, should any member of a family have diphtheria, for each of the others to gar. gle the mouth every hour with chlorine solution, Instead of using solutions, a few grains of either chlorate of potash, tannic acid or copperas, known as sulphate of iron, may be placed dry, far back on the tongue, to dissolve and spread over the surfaces. It is a more simple method of applying these remedies, and would be more likely to reach farther down the throat and to remain longer in contact with the diseased surfaces than when ap- plied in gargles or swalowed. These remedies are powerful to cure in proportion to the promptness with which they are used. b Wei De Meyer. 1tis now undisputed that Wei De Meyer's Catarrh Cure is the only treatment that cure Catarrh—fresh or chronic, ous, Saml.

Scarcity of the Buffalo Becoming More and More Marked—A Sub- stitute Found intheJapan- ese Dog—Seal and Other Furs, St. Paul Pioneer-Press, The mild weathep of the winter thus far has not espes lfi affected the whole- sale fur trade in St. Paul. Last winter’s continued low temperature had the effect of placing all the available stock of the general dealers in the hands of con- sumers. Asa general rulo, the orders for new stock are taken and sales made by the wholesalers in June, July and August, and deliveries in September and October, or before any knowledge of temperature to follow can is had. In the northwest, of course, the buffalo was the principal producer of winter pelts, but the disappearance of this animal from its formor haunts has been 20 rapid of late years shat substi- tutes must be found, ana Japanese dog sking (se-called) are now being made into conts, They cost about 25 per cent more than the buffalo conts did whew the las- ter wore plenty. St Paul dealevs lmvsr reports of but one herd of buffaloes now in existenae, and this is wintering abowut 160 miles west of Foxt Yates (Standing | Rock), sheltered by the ravines of the Little Missouri Bud lands. The Assinni- boine herd seems to have disappenred, and with others who were wont o roam both novth and south. of the bows- dary. The Standing Rock Indians killed about 4,000 butlaloes this- seasen, and their hides are now awaiting sale and shipment eastwaod, & fow other posts report small lots on hand, but i is }fiure«l not more than 10,000 in all can be looked for from what is known as the Missouri. River distnict. The Indian tanned robes are regarded as far prefer- able to those dressed by the whites. The latter are heaviev, the hide is apt to get stii when wet, awd in some cases the preparation of chemicals used. atfects the hide in sach & way that the hair falls oub. Expensive tanning machinery in Bridgeport, Conn., osting tens of thousands of dollars, has boeen altored to fit it for osher pusposes.’ As an index of the scarcity of butfalo robes are quoted recent offers for single lots of $6 to $7.050 per robe, taking them as they run; A\u\\ this, of course, weans $12 to @15 to the next buyer, for choice specimons. OTHER FURS, Wolf and fox sking ave made up in large numbers, though they are not as plenty as could be desired, and coon skins are very scarce. Beaver and otter demand, and are much are in great scarcer than suits the dealers, On these furs a vise of at least 10 per cent. over last year's prices is reported, Not long ago an ofter of $3.70 per pound was made for Lake Superior beaver, Missouri river beaver and those f its tributaries are worth about 82 25 per pound. Bear skina are comparatively plenty, and the black vari oty is the favorite for robes. Carriage and house robes of Japanese goat are much in favor. They arveimported in wany sizes, and in colors ranging from | white to dark, mixed gray. The fur is long and silky and the price reasonable, ing to the color and quality and thestyle of the trimmings.

'This exhalation from the leaves is really the primary operation, however, being sim- ply a process of evaporation. If, now, the principal portiens of the roots be eut away, and especially the fine rootlets which are farthest from the stem, and through whose extremities nearly all the water is absorbed, the leaves. if al- lowed to grow, will exhaust the water from the stem and roots more rapidly than it can be supplied by the remnant of the latter, and the consequences will be the destruction of the tree. Hence, in transplanting trees tho leaf- bearing twigs should be cut away in pro- portion to the loss of roots,and it should be remerabered that the root surface is generally equal to that of the twig consequently, the safest rule is to re- move nearly all the branches, trinuming to bare poles. It is hard to do this, but the aftergrowth of the tree willboenowgh more rapid to compensate the apparent loss. In moving large trees it is an ex- cellent plan to dig down and cut off a large portion of the roots a year before transplanging, removing a portion of the top at tle same time. This will cause | the formation of new rootlets near the stem, which may be nreserved in the final transpianting. — Hoeds Sarsaparilla Is designed to meet the wants of those who need amedicine to build them up, give them an.appetite, purify their blood and oil up the machinery of their bodies.

A carp-breeder in Pennsylvania says a proper system requires three ponds. They must all be shallow in the main, but each must have a deep place next to the outlet. Each must have a collector in the deepest point made of wood or masonry. This 18 a sort of trap in which to collect the fish, eels, etc., which are sure to get imto all ponds. Con- nected with the esllecter must be a sluice which will drain: the pond dry at will. This should be done eaxly in the spring and late in the fall. All wood and ma- sonry should be awoided in the construc- tion of embankments except the simple sluice referred to, and this sluice should answer the double purpose of holding the water to its stazdard level and of draw- ing it all off when desired. In yegions where the water freezes, a hibemnating ground should be-prepaved adjoizing the sluice, where the casp can burrow in winter. This should bo the deepess place inthe pond excepting the zollector. ~The bottom of the pondshouldbe muddy, 30 as produce a rank growsh of aquatic vegeta- tion, preferably.lilies, but an indégenous growth, This makaes the pond an aguatic pasture in which the carp wili without artificielifoed, which sheuld not be given them till" a short time before marketing, or, prepaving for the table, and then oaly,in fabtewing boxos or vats which can be. lops clean and which wiil keop the carp, irons the earth.
