MR. CHARLES ASKABLE.
Which Two MU*lMipplan» Be*
Everything They Owned.
"It takes something very good to beat it, I tell you,” sold one of Atlanta's most prominent lawyers tho other day. He had reference to three aces and two kings, says the Constitution. "Yes, sir,” he resumed, blowing” a great curl of fragrant tobacco smoke high in the air and looking after it. longingly, as though there were a lob of money going up in it. “Yes, sir, iti takes something good to l>eat a full house of this variety, but I once heard' of the strangest game of poker that ever was played, I know. It was in the old days ami there were two wealthy old Mississippi planters in the game. One of them caught just what I have described, three beautiful little aces and two of the knightliest king* in the deck. He was dead in it and sent the bets up right lively, indeedj After the others had fallen out except the other rich old planter the man with the full house became more enthusiastic and sent the bet higher and higher. They put up everything they had, borrowed all they could get around the board, and. being hotheaded old southerners, still held out against each other. Their plantations were deeded on condition of the bet and the deeds sealed in envelopes with everything else they had on the face of the earth, and they went home to sleep over it and decide the next day what should be done. Neither of them was willing to call and neither would drop out. So the envelopes were intrusted to the county clerk for safekeeping until the bet should be determined sorao way or other. Neither of the men ever called as long as they lived, and when both of them were dead and the will of the last one of them was to be probated, It was found that in the envelope of the one there was, together with his deeds, a straight flush, and in the hand of the other the three aces and a pair of kings. The sons of the two men made the changes in ownership of the lands as indicated by the value of the hands held by their fathers
in that memorable game.”

Dr. Parkhurst has coined a new world, and its aptness and clever construction are quite likely to make it famous. The eminent reformer’s word is “Andromania,” and of it he says: "There is an element in the feminine world that is suffering from what I shall venture to call ‘Andromania The word is not an English one, for reason, I supposed that we should need such a term. It is constructed on the same principle as the word ‘Anglomania,’ which means a pas

Two or three species of birds are known to accompany the crocodile Whenever he appears above water.

Curious Oak Tree In Georgia-
A resident of Augusta, (ia.. has an oak tree growing upon his place which is not unlike other trees of that specie 8 in general appearance. Instead of producing the regulation acorn, however, it is annually loaded with peculiar formations as unlike the natural production of such trees as one could imagine. As a general rule the cup of an acorn is as large or larger than a thimble, covering at least half of the acorn proper, but in this case the tiny receptacle is not larger than a pea. and. instead of being constructed so as to hqfd hut a single nut or kernel, contains ‘from three to live small ones, the number seeming to vary with the distance from the ground, the cups on the lower limbs being uniformly filhd with three of the tiny acorns. Botanists of national repute have pondered this sylvan oddity and old settlers, noted huntera and woodman in general have visited the wonder and left without even at-
