, Supper was the first regular meal
to follow the open-air suggestion,
country supper on the piazza in the
warm summer evening. That also
was delightful, of course, and not at
all alarming. All nations and ages
have, pructiml the sport of occa-
sional festive repasts out of doors
when the weather has permitted.
But breakfast \yas not long in fol-
lowing suit; and, when dinner,1 that,
mbit conservative, conventional of
meals, succumbed to the outward
pressure and spread its congealing
gravies in the chilly air, we were in
for the thing in good earnest, the
new custom was on. No longer a

There it no action of your daily
life of greater importance than to aee
that your bowels move. They should
move at least once a day naturally,
and by that is mcai\t without any help.
If they do not move at least once a
day you can -^consider yourself con-
stipated and it if time you did some-
thing about it.
You will bo sled to know there
le a way out of the difficulty. Lem-

A POOR TRADE.
At a recent dinner in New. York
Joseph H. Ohoate, former ambas-
sador from the United , States to
Great Britain, was speaking of tihe
necessity for proper ambassadorial
residences in forei|;n countries
“When I first went to England,”
said Mr. Choate, “I spent weeks and
weeks looking for a house. It was
most arduous service in my coun-
try’s interest. I trailed all over the
available sections of 'London, and
while I was at it a London bobby
arrested a man who was pursuing a
most erratic and foflom course out
Hyde Park way.
“Here, my man,” said the bobby.
‘What are you doing? Why don’t
you go home?’
“ ‘Home V replied the .man, bit-
terly. ‘I have no home. I am the
American ambassador.’”
“What good did your daughter get

weather had nothing to do^with it
now; and in really zealous families
the regular summer dining-room
was out of doors. Summer dining-

ditionally. But not always actually
in New England, where bleak rains
overtake the world now and then,
und clearing northwest winds come
racing keenly. It was soon essential
to introduce a new fashion in din-

and heavy shawls, felt hats and
mufflers.

CREDITED TO NEW ORLEANS.
Resident of Southern City Believed to
Have Originated Great Ameri-
can Game of Poker.
“All the evidence as to the origin
of poker points to the fact that'it
originated in New Orleans,” said
John B. Barber of that city. “Poker
was played in New Orleans in 1832
with 20 cards. It was probably an
adaption of the French game of
ambigu and brelan, played with the
picquot or euchre deck of 32 cards
now standard in Europe. All of the
poker hands except four of a kind
can be found in ambigu.'and brelan.
How the five-card poker originated
is not known, but it is probably an
adaption of ambigu and the Persian
game , with five cards called nas.
Nas is Persian poker and almost
identical with ours|
“ft is probable that some old
French resident of New Orleans,
who was familiar with both ambigu
and nas invented the modern Ameri-
can game of poker by combining the
two of them. But the gentleman’s
name is unknown,” concluded Mr.
Barber with a sigh.

CHESTERFIELD OF THE SENATE.
APPROPRIATE.
Senator McLaurin of Mississippi

of congress. He never lets an op-
portunity escape to say nice things
about women. They are telling a

recently cajlcd jipon some friends.
There they met a congressional
friend and his wife. The senator
took occasion to compliment the
woman several times during the eve-
ning upon her good' looks, charming
gown. etc. The host brought up the
subject of politics and handed the
senator a newspaper clipping in
P^which reference was made to him.
“I will take it home with me, if
von don’t wind,” said the senator.

It was at Madrid, writes Adelina
Patti in a magazine, at the close of
a gal* night, that, to my Astonish-
ment, 200 beautiful canaries were,
at a signal, released and fluttered
toward me. Each was adorned with
a colored bow at its throat and
made a wondrously beautiful spec-
tacle. I managed to capture two of
these charming little Bongstcrs and
press them to my lips. This was
net all of my triumph. The duke
of Alba presented me from his box
with a beautiful wreath, while' the
countess Montijo, the Empress Eu-
genie’s mother, threw me an ex-
quisite bouquet* and the members of
the Jockey club launched on the
stage twelyc laurel wreaths made of
velvet and satin leaves with golden
berries. So, you see, I had no rea-
son to'complain pf my reception in
Madrid. I have had, perhaps, more
tumultuous receptions elsewhere,^
but never, I Ifthink, any which"
touched me more.
