THE PASSION FOR GAMBLING ,
How it Prevails in Russia Some Interest
ing Incidents of HichPlay.
A Fortune nnd n Beautiful Wife Lost
at a Single Sitting Through
tlio Queen ofSiintlcs.
The order of Prince William foibidding
tlio officers under his command from at
tending the Union club , where gambling
is extensively carried on , nnd following
upon the order of Chancellor Bismarck
in 1870 closing all public gambling places
in Germany , has led to manyn-discnssion
as to the extent to which gaming is
carried on in oilier purls of tlio world.
Tlio Chinese gamble for everything , nnd
the Italians nnd Spaniards are not fur behind -
hind them. A short time ngo some gen
tlemen were enjoying a glass of hot
punch , whbn the conversation turned
upon gambling iullus'sia. An old diplo-
mate , who hatl Vatideil a number of years
nt St , Petersburg , boiug one ot the com
pany , averred that the mania which pos
sessed the military circles , as well as the
whole Russian aristocracy , during his
stay in the country was something terri
ble. An officer , ho said , who did not
gamble received no credit for it , nnd the
public man who did not now and then
run the risk of being ruined was consid
ered to bo a stingy fellow , who was light
ly esteemed by his acquaintances. Heart
rending talcs are tola in Russia of the
sacrifices men have made to avoid the
society stigma ot piirsimoniousmess , so
that HO surprise was expressed when it
was reported that such and such an ollicor
had gone to the Caucasus
TO SIKUT CKUrAIX UKATIT ,
or had blown olit his brains , or that such
n prince had stolen tlio family diamonds ,
or such a civil olllcur had embezzled pub
lic funds.
"I know of tin instance of less vulgar
ending , " continued tlio speaker , "but
truthfully showing the straits to which a
liberal player in Russia was once reduced.
"At a grand ball on one occasion to
which 1 hud been invited , a lady was
pointed out to mo as tlio Princess Angus-
tinoff ( a name 1 shall use hero as her rqsil
name is too well known in Russia to in
troduce into newspaper article ) . She
was a charming woman in spite of her
age , still "pleasing through her well-
stored mind and faultless manners.
'Look at her straight and elegant figure , '
exclaimed my companion , 'she walks
like u miccn. Her complexion is as
fresh ami her eyes as lustrous as a young
girl's , while her white hairsurrounds her
face like a silver diadem. She is going
to dance , and none will surpass nor in
grace of movement or enjoyment of the
occasion. Now let mo tell you her his
tory. Her maiden name was Mary
She was married for her beauty , ul-
thouph this was not only her attraction ,
her family was wealthy and important.
She had been selected as maid ot honor
to the c/.arina , who wag greatly attached
to her. Her marriage at 18 was , there
fore , the natural consequence of posses
sing much beaut } ' and wealth , and hold
ing i high position. Potcrhoff ( also not
his real name ) , her husband , was n fine
officer , having
ItnAOIlKl ) THE GHADE OF UAJOR-OKKKKAI.
tit an ago when most officers are serving
us captains and lieutenants. The czar
highly esteemed the tall , studious and
neiious ollicor. whom ho know to possess
most sterling qualities. But ho did not
play ! Ho was of ten , railed about it , and
the czar himself had one day expressed
wonder thereat , saying : 'Well , general ,
it seems you never amuse yourself with
cards1 Pctcrhoff , shaking his head , re
plied he had no taste for gaming. 'Not
for preference ? ' inquired tlio cx.ar.
'Come , general , let us have a game of
preference.1 This was an invitation not
to bo refused , but so great an aversion
had the ollicer to gambling that he did
not even know tha rules of the game.
'Not know the rules tor preference ! ' ex
claimed the czar , roughing , 'You must
learn them , my dear general. A little
play drives offonniii. There's Augusti-
neil , who has reached the apex of perfec
tion in preference. Ho must instruct
you. '
"Accordingly , the young officer , in
spite of himself , was handed over to bo
initiated into the horrors of the gambling
table. Augustinoff was the best player
at court ; prudent , skillful , and opaque
a man to bo avoided at cards. Ho did
not , however , always win , but losses
scorned to have no depressing effect upon
him nor gains to awaken feelings of sat
isfaction. Being ono of the largest land
owners in Russia , administering his es
tate with rare ability ho spent liis reve
nues generously and without regret. Ilis
peasantry wore said to be the happiest in
Russia. Stories wcro related of his kind
ness , after n bravely-contested game , in
Dcrmitting his adversary to win back his
fortune without losing his amour propro.
"Tho c/.ar , therefore , could not have
selected a better teacher for his favorite
general than Augustinoff. lie undertook
witli real zeal the instruction of Peter-
lioll' , but ho could never infuse into his
mind his own coolness and prudence.
Peterhoff was hot-headed , and played
with a dash which oftentimes made his
games famous for the amount of
HIS WINNINGS AND I.OSSKS.
It would have been bettor for him hail he
lost constantly , as his successes made
Him over-confident. Gambling in a short
time became a mania with him , and had
it been necessary ho would have paid
men to play with him. On the occasion
I am about to describe he WAS found late
in the evening at the gaming-tablewhere
he had passed most ot the day. Ho had
won from Ids adversaries without inter
ruption. Piled np before him were al
most 100,000 , rubles , not to speak of the
200 promises to pay from brother officers.
In a burst of exultation ha exclaimed : 'I
will stake my day's earnings upon the
chance of a single game ! '
" 'How niucnf inquired Augustinoff ,
who had just entered the room.
" 'Three hundred thousand rubles in
round numbers. '
" 'I accept your offer/ exclaimed the
imperturbable Augustinoff.
'Although accustomed to see high
playing , " said my informant , "this sur
passed everything I bad before witnessed.
THK STAKK9 WK1IK ENOHMOU8 ,
the players reputed the best in Russia.
The game for some time was equally well
conducted. After an hour or two Gou.
Petorhoffwna noticed to move toward
Augustinhoff 100.000 rubles , n little later
ho turned to a friend and said , 'Vbvolith ,
please pay to Augustinhoff the 50,00001
won from yon this afternoon , ' nnd not
long after , 'Passoroff ' , the 00,000 from you
also,1 Hardly had the night reached the
hour of 8 when the bewildered general
had lost every ruble of his day's earn-
Pn'Now for retaking the citidal.1 ho ex
claimed.
" 'What's the sum ? ' inquired Augustin
off calmly.
" 'Three hundred thousand rubles. '
" 'But 1
" 'Is it too much ? It's not enough. It's
only your galus of tud availing , you
ought to ado something to it. '
" 'Certainly ; I'll make it100,000 rubles
ngtilnst your 300,000 niblcs. '
"Augustiuofflost.
" 'I will not stop at that,1 ho said , 'hero
are 600,000 rubles more. '
"This time lie Won , and in the follow
ing games also.
" 'I am not dlsniayod , ' eaid Peteroff.
wmi TiiEunuxa HANDS
and a ' voice ho vainly attempted \ con
trol.
" 'As you please'answered Augustinoff
Indifferently , 'are wo to play for 500,000
rubles ? '
" 'That's the sum , ' added the officer ,
with an air of desperation.
" 'You will lose , for I am in the right
humor. Some wine hero to warm up
the general and keep him merry , '
called out Augustinofl to an atten
dant.
"Pctcrhoff needed wine , for lie was in
faltering mood.
"Tho game continued , the gains of
Augustinoff continued , and bctoro the
dawu of day and the nights are long in
Russia the aid-do-camp of the c/ar Imd
parted with his vast landed property in
the central provinces , his possessions in
Moscow , and his ca-stlo at Ukraine. But
whcio is the player that thinks of what ho
has lost ns lone as ho has something to
lose ? Folnrlion could not stake the diamonds
mends of his wife , but the diamonds of
his decorations , and a ring , tlio costly
gift of tlio c/nr , still remained to him ;
but for a moment only.
"Rising from tlio table , ho filled and
emptied nib glass several times , walked
u ] ) and down the room , passing his lin
gers nervously through his hair , finally
returning again to Ids seat. Opposite
still tat Augustinoff. who appeared to bo
amusing himself with sliulliinpr and cut-
ling the cards. Bonding over to him
Petorlioff said in a low whisper : j 'It's
not day yet , Augustinoff ; please do not
rise. '
" 'You can not play any longer. You
have nothing to lose , general. '
"Stung by the reply , Peterhoff asked
curtly : 'What do you know about it. '
" 'And is there j-ct left some hidden
treasure , general ? '
"With livid lips and contracted brow ,
he gasped : 'And you are ready to take It ,
Augustinoff ?
YOU LOVE MV WIKD.1
" 'Who told you that ? "
' "Nobody ; but I am not blind. I'vn
nothing loll with which to p.loaso her. I
will play with you for her against my
losses. '
"Augustlnofi ; for the first time In the
long hours , now became interested. It
was his turn to grow pale and his voice
to tremble. After a moment's hesitation ,
lie replied :
" ' 1 accept your proposition , general.
I only make these two edndltionsi First ,
the stakes on my side are not largo
enough. I add to it 000,000 rubles. Second
end , that you take the consequences of
the divorce upon j'oursclf. The princess'
reputation is spotless , and must remain
so. '
"Tlio conditions please , mo ; they are
complimentary to both iny dear wife and
myself. The cards were again taken up.
But both seemed loth to begin the game
Augustinoff , possibly , at thought that
the princess miglit not fulfill the condi
tions of tiie victory ; Peterhoff at thought
of his wretched carcornml future despair.
The play bcgani Profound silence
reigned , save tlio dry clicking of the
cards as they fell ono upon the other. At
the cut the antagonists paused , like
wrestlers overcome with fatigue and im
pending defeat. The tricks balanced at
the first deal. A bold play was now ven
tured by Peterhoff whioh might have
brought him victory ; It brought him de
feat , however. He rose from his chair.
The sun was rising in the cast. His fren
zy had passed away. Ho was covered
with profuse perspiration. 'You will keep
Tour word ? ' askcu Augustinoff. ' 1 shall
keep mv word , ' answered Peterhoff ,
sternly , but the torture tlio man was un
dergoing was painful to witness. He did
keep his word. The agreement was car
ried out to the letter. It must boTomcm-
bored that the position of n divorced hus
band in Russia is rallies embarrassing. It
is not only a matter ot heavy lines , but
sometimes results in taking away a man's
liberty. With the czar's aide-de-camp ,
however , neither sentence was received ;
but ho obtained permission to join the
arrav in active service. He departed for
the Iront , nnd never returned more. And
tlio princess ? She paid the gambler's
debt , and' became the wife ot Augustinoff ,
who had won her fairly with the queen of
spades. "
PRETTY PETS STUFFED.
A Taxidermist Tolls Seine Secrets.
"Wo will undertake to preserve and lix
up any kind of bird or animal , from a
humming-bird to an elephant , " said a
taxidermist to a New York Mail and K\-
press reporter recently , "and , I might
just as well add , from a bee to mam
moths. "
"Arc there many m this city who pur
sue your art ? "
"About twenty. Too many altogether
for any of us to do any decent business.
It is not an easy trade to learn. Some
times a man may accomplish it in a few
months ; sometimes it will take a much
longer time. It depends upon the nat-
uraTgood judgment and dexterity of tlio
pupil. A little carelessness or want of
skill will often spoil a job. in the prep
aration of our subjects wo use a large
amount ot arsenic in a powdered form.
During tlio manipulation this powder is
shaken into thu air and is inhaled by the
operator. As arsenic ; is an accumulative
poison it will remain in the system until
there is enough to cause serious results.
Very often a man is compelled to quit
tlio business in order to MIVC his life.
Life insurance ! companies hesitate to take
lisks on men engaged in our business.
Arsenio is used to preserve tlio skin , fur ,
and feathers of the birds and animals.
Several substitutes for this poison liayo
been tried , but none of them have boon
found to bo any good.
"What do you most work on ? "
"We drive" , thriving business in the
canary bird lino. People bring their lit
tle birds hero to have them stuffed. The
owners are mostly ladles , and you can
imagine what a comfort it is to have
their little feathered pots preserved in
such a manner that their beauty and
form of feather can bo soon and admired
long after their sweet voices are hushed.
"Lovo birds are preserved in great
numbers. Cardinals are somewhat rare
and their plumage is so bright-colored
and beautiful that when they die thov
are seldom thrown away. There is al
ways a ready market for them and wo
will pay good prices for them. Love
birds are brought to us in paira. It is
customary when ono of these affcctionuto
little things die to bring its dead body
and the living mate to us. Wo kill the
live bird and prenorve tlio two together. "
"Could the skin of a man be stuffed ? "
"Certainly ; in the same manner that a
monkey's sUin is. I would undertake
the job , but it would cost a great deal of
money. Tlmy say that the human skin
is very much like the skin of a hog , and
that if subjected to a tinning process it
would bo very thick and strong the
same as the hog leather which is used
for saddles and trunks. "

t \
Now York , , Tribune ! Jumbo is not
dead. Ills memory lives in the hearts of
thousands of Jittio ones who have fed him
untold quantities of gingerbread , and ho
has furthermore a material and dual ex
istence in the laboratory of 1'rofcsser
Henry A , Ward , the Rochester taxider
mist. There his huge bulk now stands ,
nn olligy of departed greatness , and
squints sardonically at his well scraped
skeleton which has been skillfully put
together nnd setup in another corner of
the room. It is the restoration of Jumbo ,
tlio renaissance ot elephantine magnifi
cence.
If n dead Indian is better than a live
ono , certainly two dead Jumbos ought to
bo as good as ono live Jumbo , and the
"greatest show on earth" still has the
biggest thins in elephants. When that
ill-omened Canada railroad train turned
the living Jumbo into several tons of
hashed elephant the fertile brain of his
owner conceived the idea of preserving
the great pachyderm for future genera-
tiona of circus going children , and 1'rof.
Ward , who is familiar with the family
secrets and the interim ! apparatus of
everything that walks , Hies , swims or
crawls , took the contract of immortaliz
ing the children's pet. The job was a
big ono and the cost much ex
ceeded "seventy-live dollars" that
extravagant expenditure in "fitootln
Mike" that excited the Irish widow's
horror when the embalmed body of her
husband was brought homo with tlio bill.
Jumbo had to bo "restored , " but not in
any ordinary manner. His admirers
wcro much lee numerous to simply pub
him ou a pedestal and expect them nil to
come and admire him. lie must be taken
to them and the always knotty problem
of transportation came in. The work is
linishud now and _ all is prepared for his
post-mortem triumphal progress. A
special car. a special wagon anil a special
Jumbo all lit in together to form an exag
gerated copy of a "little tin god on
wheels. "
The first thing was to build a huge
frame of wood and iron that should con
form to the great beast's well-known
bhnpe. This was boarded up with two
inch strips until it looked like a hogshead
mounteif ou four piles of kegs. Then the
hide half an iueh thick and weighing
1.IKJ8 pounds was drawn over this frame.
The hide was taken off his huge carcass
in three pieces , and steeped in a solution
of arsenic , alum and corrosive sublimate
for two months before it went upon the
wooden statue of Jumbo. Then his tusks
were stuck inlo.tlio sockets pictured for
them , littlobro'wii glass eyes wore put in
their places , a'/conuettish / twist was given
to his trunRr , linil Jumbo was himself
again. The wjiole structure weigh
ing about $ bjc/j ; tons stands on a
strong platform a'nd is so bolted together
that the fatfguo of travel ate not ex
pected to injure it at all. As the clligy
stands on Hs'jicd ' stal in Professor Ward's
laboratory , it is fourteen feet long ,
twelve loot hjgh , eighteen feet about the
girth , four feet and ten inches across the
cars and live feet and ten inches around
the foot. In places the skin is ono and a
half inches thick and looks nnd feels like
the bark of an old maple tree. It is
sewed up so neatly that the seams cannot
bo discovorciPand it is held to its place
on the woodetWframe by more than
7-1,000 nrtils. " Tlil'ro are sparse , coarse
hairs all over Iff ttjld'those ' on the trunk
arc sharp and" stiff as needles. Thfero
were a number of longer hairs growjng
at tlio tip of his tail , but the enterprising
young vandals of Canada plucked them
out while he was lying in state at St.
Thomas and sold them to relic hunters
at $5 each. ,
In transportation , pedestal and all will
be lifted upon a wagon which is twenty-
live feetlong and can be raised and low
ered at will. This will bo drawn about
tiio ring at Madison Square garden with
the cnildren on the back of the wooden
monster , just as in the days when ho en
joyed a llesh and blood and gingerbread
existence. Wagon and all ivill bo loaded
upon a special car , the body of which is
only six inches above the ground. And
yet , if the tallest of elephants had been
buta little bit tailor it would have boon
imposiible to get him through the rail
road tunnels by any arrangement what
ever. Some time this week the side of
tlio labratory will bo taken out ana Jum
bo Africanus will be dragged forth into
the light of publicity. Then he will bo
put on his 0,600 pound chariot , tlio
chariot will bo hauled upon the special
car and the whole affair will trundle off
to Bridgeport , there to joint the ,
show and htait on tlio bummer's '
travel. Next in importance to the'sub
stantial ghost of "J. Africanus , " stands
his skeleton. This would stock a bone-
boiling establishment for a , year. It
weighs 800 pounds and is said by Prof.
\ \ art ! to be the largest skeleton of a mod
ern tcrrcstiul mammal in the world. It
lowers up in the air , a frame work of
huge , bleached bones and ribs , held to
gether by iron and copper rods , bolts and
rivets. The great backbone is there
from tip to tail to "cervical vertebne , "
with leather washers in place of tlio usual
giistlo bntwcnn tlio joints. The dorsal-
vertebne , whiuh stick up in the air like
the spines on tlio backs of some disagree
able varieties of little libh , have a curious
depression in the lumbar region. It looks
as if the carrying of loads ot happy chil

days had made him hollow
backed like a colt that is broken to
the saddle ut too early an age. Jumbo was
not at all the venerable monster that some
people supposed him to bo. Ho was not
25 years old when ho forgot to get out of
the way of that railroad train , and had
many moro years to get his growth , lie
increased seven inches in height while in
America. Hia usUs , which wore worn
off short by perpetual rubbing against
the walls of liw.Knglish prison cell , grow

show buslncss'iju1 would eventually have
had as respcatablo n pair of tusks as any
reasonable proft | > scidinn could desire.
The great , shntfalcss skull is cracked and
seamed , but.trim is all natural. The
fractures produced by the manner of his
untimely Utkiilg off , have all been
hidden. TJiojf okeleton is to

quent nttomiv tp improve on nature in
the architecture' of elephants , Jumbo
was an intelligent boast but there is no
reason why hd'slfould not have been a
perfect Solomon among elephants , as ho
carried around with him six and one half
quarts or over a cubic foot of brains.
His bulging brow always gave him an
aspect of contemplative , benevolent In
telligence and now it is known that his
looks did not bdlio him as far as mental
equipment was concerned , at least.
what the art people would call "ft pri

was given to a number of newspaper
men at Rochester on last Friday. In or
der that the party might have a follow

were fed on ivory icily made from the in

IJotroit Free Presd : "I have just boon
aching for u cimnco to get oven with the
police , and it came yesterday , " said a
young fellow who was shivering in a
Jefferson nvonuo hallway yesterday
morning.
"How was it ? "
"Well , they've been threatening to pull
mo in for a vng , and I had my mind
made up to get revenge if they did. I'm
no vag , mister. I don'twoar undershirts
or overcoats , or go to the barber , and 1
don't always have $30 in my wallet , but
I was raised n gentleman and a scholar.
Well , yesterday nn overfinl policeman
walked up to mo nnd gave mo the collar.
Ho said I'd hung nround so long that
the sight of me gave him pain. "
"And you were taken down ? "
' Of course. The sergeant asked my
name , ago , occupation , birthplace and so
ou and I gave it to him straight. Hut Ins I
\\ns laying for him. Pretty soon ho says :
" 'Where was your father born ? "
" 1 refused to tell.
"Ho coaxed and threatened.
"I was firm. Ho skirmished all around
mo for half an hour , but ho didn't ' got the
informationand had to lock mo up with
out it. I'm going to lay for 'cm to-day. "
"How ? "
"Why , I'll ' probably bo run In again ,
and the sergeant will ask mo if my
mother is living. I won't tell him. No ,
Mr , I'll bo hung first. When the police
tackle mo they get hold of n chap who
will ect ; oven , or perish in the attempt. "
Komomber that Allcock's am the only

of spinal weakness , kidney and pulmon
ary difllcultlcs , malaria , ague cake , liver
complaint , dyspepsia , strains , rheuma

plasters blister nnd inflame the skin so

the genuine. When purchasing plasters
ask for and sco that you get Alleock's
Porous Plasters. Each genuine piaster
bears the registered trade-mark stamp.

Purity STour Blood.
Among spring preparations , do not
neglect that which is most important of
all your own body. During the winter
the blood absorbs many impurities , which ,
if not expelled , arc liable to break out in
scrofula or other disease. The best
spring medicine is Hood's Sar.saparilla.
It expels every impurity from tlio blood ,
nnd gives strength to every function of
tiio body. Sohlby all druggists.
