A NEW PARISIAN GAME.
It Is a Combination of Billiards
and Skittles.
Gamblers Employ the New Game. Which
1 Called Cardinal," to fleece the
.Public It Saves a Trip to
Monte Carlo.
It is a long way from Paris to Monte
Carlo, and the cost of traveling thither
is not conspicuous for cheapness; so.pos
sibly, says the London Telegraph, this
may be one of the reasons for the sud
den outbreak in Paris of a new gam
bling craze, of which the curious mani
festation is a game called "cardinal."
At one of the most fashionable cafes
of the boulevards this game, which ap
pears to be a combination of billiards
and skittles, is played night after night;
and to this establishment all the pro
fessional gamblers in the French capital
are said to be flocking. "Cardinal" is
not a very intricate method of gambling.
A billiard table is provided, and at one
end of the green cloth are ranged in
rows thirty-one small ivory "quilles,"
or skittles, the central one being red
and the remainder white. A red ball is
placed on "spot," and the play is made
with one white ball, which is projected
by the cue from the cushion about half
way down the table. It has to carom
off the red ball, and, rolling across the
table, to knock over a certain number
of quilles. If an even number are
knocked down the bank wins all the
money that has been staked, but if an
uneven number of skittles are overset
the punters, or "gallery," win, and the
bank has to cover their stakes. On the
other hand, if in the number of skittles
reversed there is included the red skit
tle, or "cardinal," the bank wins and
sweeps the board, whether the number
be odd or even. The billiard player's
interest is to play so that the bank
should win, as the syndicate to which
he belongs receives a commission on
each successful "coup." It must be un
derstood that the public have nothing
whatever to do with the actual play.
That business is undertaken by a con
federacy of billiard sharps who call
themselves "professors," and, forming
themselves into a syndicate, come to an
arrangement with the proprietors of
the cafe for the privilege of converting
a billiard room into a public hell, and,
to judge from a sketch of a game of
'cardinal" published in an illustrated
contemporary, ladies as well as gentle
. men are permitted to stake their money
against the bank.
That this obviously gambling game
is altogether unjust to that portion of
the public who aie silly enough to risk
their louis or their five-franc pieces at
"cardinal" is sufficiently plain, seeing
that the punter has only one chance
tha odd one against the bank; where
as the bank itself has another chance,
the red quille, or "cardinal" itself, and
an expert "professor" might very easily
train himself to knock over "cardinal"
in at least three out of five "coups."
It is not, again, very probable that any
thing approaching a long run upon odd
or even would take place, and the bank
may therefore rely, first, on the chance
of the professor knocking down "car
dinal," and next on the folly of the
punters who, having won say twice on
odd. will very likely back their luck and
double their stakes in the anticipation
of odd again occurring. The bigger
their stakes the more perilous it will be,
of course, to them, seeing that there is
not only the risk of even turning up,
but the continuous danger of "cardinal"
being knocked down. There is, again,
no land of guarantee to the public of
the "professors" playing fairly.

That Dr. Sage's Catanrh Remedy cures
the worst cases of chronic catarrh in the
head, catarrhal headache, and "cold in
the head." In perfect faith, its makers,
the World's Dispensary Medical Asso
ciation of Buffalo, N. Y.f offers to pay
$500 to any one suffering from chronic
catarrh in the head whom they cannot
cure.
Now if the conditions were reversed
they asked you to pay $500 for a positive
you might hesitate. Here are reputable
men, with years of honorable dealing;
thousands of dollars and a great
name back of them, and' they say
"We can cure you because we've cured
thousands of others like you if we can't
we will pay you $500 for the knowledge
that there's one whom we can't cure."
They believe in themselves. Isn't it
worth a trial? Isn't any trial prefera
ble to catarrh ?

A west-bound train on the Fitchburg
railroad had just drawn out . of Athol
not long ago, says an exchange, and as
the conductor entered one of the cars
he. found among the new passengers a
young man respectably dressed, and ap
parently of ordinary intelligence. The
conductor halted to take up the young
man" fare, and the latter handed him a
ticket to Miller's Falls, and with it a
cent. For a moment the conductor
suspected a joke, but a look at the pas
senger's face convinced him to the con
trary. '"What is this cent for?" the
conductor asked. "Why, I see," an
swered the young fellow, "that the
ticket isn't good unless it is stamped,
and as I don't happen to have a stamp
with me, I give you the cent instead.
You can put it on, can't you?" The
good-natured conductor handed back
coin with a smile, remarking that it
was a small matter and he would see
that it was all right.
The promptness and certainty of its
cures have made Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy famous. It is intended especi
ally for coughs, colds, croup and whoop
ing coughs, and is the most effectual
remedy known ior these diseases. Mr.
C. B. Main of Union City, Pa., says :
"I have a great sale on Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I warrant every bottle
and have never heard of one failing to
give entire satisfaction." 50 cent bottles
for sale by Blakeley & Houghton, drug
gists. lm
There is nothing I have ever used for
muscular rheumatism that gives me as
much relief as Chamberlain's Pain Balm
does. I have been using it for about
two years four bottles in all as occa
sion required, and always keep a bottle
of it in my home. I believe I know a
good thing when I get hold of it, and
Pain Balm is the best liniment I have
ever met with. W. B. Denny, dairy

While Mr. T. J. Richey of Altona,
Mo., was traveling in Kansas he was
taken violently ill with cholera morbus.
He called at a drug store to get some
medicine and the druggist recommended
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy so highly he concluded to
try it. The result was immediate relief,
and a few doses cured him completely.
It is made for bowel complaint and
nothing else. It never fails. For Bale
