The Chinese are esrcntially ? sedentary ??'?|,??.
and llflc Riven to outdoor sports, ('ticket, hockey,

unknown to them nor have they anything at nil

it Ir mere the ruling casto of Tettare than the
Chinese proper who Indulge In such pastimes. How?
ever, self-contained and sedate though the yellow
man mav be, he Is not, says "The BadmtntOS
Magazine," totally destitute of a desire for amuse?

GAMBLING GAMES POPULAR
Sedentary amusements are more to the taste of
th? Chinese ih sn outdoor sports, and the various
forms of gambling ar?, of course, the most pooular
of the former. Tle;r playing-? aids are about the
rame length as ours, but only half th ? breadth, be?
sides being much llmper. There ls reason to believe
that they must be at least aa old as our era; but,
up to the present, no on?* seems to have made a
serious stu?'.y of Chinese card games. The most
popular one? appear to be a kind of "beggar-my
neighbor" arri "draw pol.or," nnd women pia. ni ce

Chinese chess has bren carefully stud'od by sev?
eral Europeans, notably Mr. Holl?n?, sworth (?Ht),
Mr. Htmly ??*?:?) ani ?Signor ?????<????? (1881). it ?s
still a question Whether China or India was the
country Which gave birth to the game, hut it is
quite certain that it was known to the ChlnaM at I
least before tho first century of our ora, if not mich I
earlier The Chines? chessboard, like ours, has |
sixty-four squares, with the addition of a "river,"
which practically means flight squares more. How?
ever, the men arc not placed in the centre of the
squares, gs with us, but on the intersecting points,
and they move alo.ig tie linea Tlie Chinese stale?
mate counts as a win Instead ?>f a draw; and some
of the pleoee, besides skipping, arc placed differ?
ently from ours. Otherwise there is great similarity
between the two games. Among Europeans it is
common to clve the vague name of "ches.-" not
only to the "elephant chess." which so closely re?
sembles ours, but to tho ".surrounding chess." ora

cakes, sweetmeiis etc., in the public streets. It is
quite a usual thing for the purchaser to "go double

dice bowl temptingly handy for his clients' use.
Fantan, or "turn-over," is th?* most popular
gambling amusement, and almost every one who

?Hi ? t in clumps, ami ?"tile to the bottom of tho
mixture, ?inly a few months have elapsed, how
? r< r. sin??? American bact?riologiste began to try
the n*>W ini'.'ins of dtagBOOlBg a suspected case of
typbOld fever, and Special efforts have been made
here and there, consequently, to coiiect as mach
evidence as possible In ord? r to determine th?? ?le
gree of certainty attaching to its indications. The
matter was reviewed at the famous symposium of
tho State Medical goHety nt Albany a f?w ?weeks
ago, and also at a recent meeting of one of the
great local mrflcal organizations In this city.
There Is no disease, perhaps, which Is distinctly
rccogtolsed as having a bacterial origin, that Is SO
hard to deteel in its early stage? aa typhoid fever,
Its symptom? Closely resi mble those of malarial
?md other troubles. Th.* characteristic bacilli <>r
th?? malady do not appear to be as al.umlaut ind
a? easily found In the patient's secretions as do
these uf tuberculoats, diphtheria or cholera In
tied, there are some thirty other species of bacteria
closely resembling the tru.* baclllua of typhoid
fever, but harmless in character: and therefore
long and complicate 1 scries of experiments Is
?,. , easary to establish ?h?* Identity of any speci?
men which excites a suspicion of this particular
disease Bui In Wldafs teat the bacilli are ob
tai:i??l from a laboratory, not from tho patient,
ami have a well-attested pedigree; and their b<?
havtor, wh? ? a ilr?ip of th?? patient'? b1on<l hi
brought Iti contact with them, affords Information
as to the presence ther? in of a certain mysterious
quality developed by ihe sickness. It Is believed
that most disease-producing bacili, nfter they get
Into one's system, do their mischi? vous work by
manufacturing certain poisonous substances in the
blood, ami there is Increasing reason for believing,
too, that the blood, in sum? way not DOW under?
stood, thereupon goes to w.,rk in self-defence ami
produces other agents which . antidotes to the
bacterial poison. That which in Wldal'a t?-s- makes
the laboratory-bred ?bacilli turn up Unir to.s, ac?
cording to this theory, is not the presence ol oth? r
ba.nii ?? th?? drop of blood taken from the patient,
nor ?he toxic products recently put in circulation

then it must ilrst be liquefied by the addition of al

Baltimore. July IS.-Lieutenant D. H Wise. ?*, ?.
?.. was compelled to-day to abandon his attempt
to lower tho New-York-Washington cycle record
Owing to tho condition of tho roads near Balti?
more, recent rains having made them almost Im?
passable. Lieutenant Wise reached Baltimore at
4:20 a. m.. being Just eight hours and seven mlnu'es
behind the schedule?] time. At Havre do Grace
the rider was an hour and twenty minuto? ahead
of time, but on leaving that place he encountered a
blinding rainstorm which completely flooded the
road, so that at times ho rode In water up to his
pedals. The last seventeen miles were walked by
Lieutenant Wise, and for three miles ho was

falls, and reached Baltimore soaking WOt, covered
with mud anil badly brul?ed. After a short rest at
a hotel ho doslroil to continue on to Washington,

REAL ESTATE.
FAVORABLE CONDITION! OF A MID
BC1IMER MARKET.
TRADING A FKATfltK ?'F T.AST WKKK'ri THANSAC
nOKg-OPPERtKag AT AUCTION,
Tho record of last week's dealings in the real
osiato market was rather better than ls reason?
ably to bo oxpei-tod at this season of tho year,
and while there appears to he little prospect of a
bfMim In any particular s'i-tlon of the city the
dally reports of sales at private contract continue
to be highly encouraging to those who are look?
ing for <i general revival of business in the reai
? stat" market In Ihe autumn. The principal com?
plaint heard tn tho offices of th?? brokers last week
was that so many of tho sales reported recently
have been trades. That such Is the case ?s only
a natural condition of the midsummer market, and
trading will In all probability continue to ho tho
dominant feature of th?? market until the early
fall, when the brokers turn from this class of
dealing to devoto their time and attention largely
to cash transactions. In tho numerous ?railes of
last w??? k. however, considerable cash being in
each case the dlffcrcnc??. in the values of the
respective properties exchanged actually changed
hands, and with the extensive improve menta that
arc projected In connection with several of last
week's trades this class of ?leadings cannot fall
to be of great benefit to the market. Tho fear
often expressed, that Intending buyers and sellers
are likely to bo deceived by the Inflated valuations
which are Invariably attached to properties given
and taken In exchange, has little foundation ln
fact, for no one who knows anything at all about
the way In which those transactions are conducted
will attach Importance to the oonsldorat;?in named.
Aside from tho filing of plans for thro? now
twelve-story buildings to ho erected ???? John 8.

Metropolitan Hot?*', site on the east side of Broad?
