Occasionally the gaming will become
very noisy, and the. tribes will ensleavor
to cbeer their respective tribal players
and therefore help their own bete to
ward winning by shouts and yells and
deep guttural songs.. Fancy what a noise
would be made by a lot of excited In-
dians yelling the following:

up this yell and continue it over and
over, keeping time with their clapping
hands and swaying bodies. The dealers,
who are meanwhile silently playing the
game of sing gamble for their respective
tribal bettors, also keep time vrith their
movements with the wooden chips. A
dealer will seize' a double handful of
shavings and thea ostentatiously, count
out eight wooden chips and one black one,
nine in all. Then he will click them sev-
seral times and Magically 'cover them with
shavings.. Then he will separate_ the
chips and shavings and show two piles of
white chips. In a twinkling he will
'make passes with his hands, holding the
two piles Of chips about his head, under
his blouse and about his anatomy so fast
that a three card monte sharp would
wonder at his dexterity. .
The chatting suddenly ceases,, and ev-
ery eye lil turned to some one of thedeal-
ere who are performing all manner al
rapid passes to deceive the eyes of the
bettors of the opposite tribe. When the
bets have been made, the dealers sudden-
ly cease their passes and gyrations, and
by a dexterous movement throw the chips
and shavings from one hand upon the
mat. If the black chip is there, one
point -has been scored by the tribe that
bet it was there. If it is in the other
hand, the tribe has lost a point to its op-
ponents.

We still find in a few of out tin -dent
.churelles the high pews, luxurious cush-
ions and curious fittings of form r days.
In the good old times, when t e squire
was lord of all he surveyed in th village,
his pew in the parish church a. as often
a kind of sitting room. One sue pew oc-
cupies the Whole of the south tr, nsept of
the diminutive church at Gattoni. in Sur-
rey. It has a fireplace, a low sent which
extends round two sides of the room and
blue tapestry decoration. Above it is an-
other floor, on which are three or four or-
dinary pews for the use of the squire's
servants, and from it a covered a ay leads
to Gatton Hall, some few yards away.
There may be some truth in tee story
that a former squire used to enjoy a pipe
by the fireplace during the sermon and
that if he became weary he 'would go out
through the private door for. short stroll
In the churchyard.
A similar pew exists in a c urch at Col-
.
wich, Staffordshire. It has a staircase
leading to a private door, ai d it is said
that the postman came this ,ay to- con-
vey letters and that the sea ant brought
in cake and wine for consuna tion during
the service _
The royal pew of St. Get:Age's. chapel,
Windsor, is peculiar, because it is the lar-
gest of its kind in England and on ac-
count of its being situated above the
choir, down upon which the queen can
see the service from a fine oriel window.
In little Benjamin church, Norfolk, is a
pew for strangers and wedding parties.
It was constructed by a shepherd and
bears a cheerful, suggestive piece of or-
namentation in the shape. of the carving
of a skeleton, with the following inscrip-
tion:
• For couples Joined in wedlock; and my Friend
That stranger is; This seat I did inteede.

A game of whist played in a pew would
'nowadays cause. considerable clonament,:
yet it seems that the square Deers at
Trowbridge were used for this perpose at ,
the time the "poet" Ceibbe was droning
away in the pulpit.

and occasionally coats of arms p inted on
them thus:

At Fonr In the Morning.
The hour of 4 a. m. has something mys-
terious about it. Cocks crow, people on
the brink of death give up the ghost,
every one who is asleep sleeps sgtinder,
and even the watchful sentry can't al-
ways keep his eyes open.
At this hour people are in their weak-
est state, and it life is just ea the flicker

How to Paper Whitewashed Walla.
It is difficult to make paper stick to
walls that have been made smooth by
frequent whitewashing. The smooth fin-
ish may be scraped off or the surface
may be changed with a cora of paste. If
you decide to use the paste, make It in
the following manner: Put one pint of
flour in a sancepe 0 and beat into it one
quart of cold water. When smooth, add
two quarts of boiling water,. stirring all
the time. Let this boil up once, then
strain and cool. Brush ties paste over
the walls and allow it to dry, When you
are ready to paper, wet the wane, spread
paste on the paper and hang it in theusu-
al manner. -Ladies' Home Journal.
