A Homemade Juice Press,
The ordinary method of extracting
juice from fruits, lard from scraps, etc.,
by placing the material in a strong bag
or cloth aud squeezing and wringing it
by hand, is exceedingly irksome. There
are screw presses for the purpose, but
they are more or less expensive and arc
to ijo found in fuv kitchens. Mu Ji aid
may be derived from the use of a simple
lever press, made on the principle of a
iemon squeezer. It requires two persons,
however, to manage this, one to hold the
material in the long or cloth, and the
ether to apply the pressure, but. if one
of tho halves of the press is hinged to a
piece of board, 2 feet long and 14 inches
wide, aad set upon a table with one end

person. This press will be found es

THE WAY TO WIN.
If on the field of love you fall,
With smiles conceal your pain;
Be not to Love too sure a thrall,
But lightly wear his chain.
Don’t kiss tho hem of Beauty’s gown,
Or tremble at her tear,
And when caprices weight you down,
A word within your ear:
Another lass, another lass,
With laughing eyes and bright—
Mako love toiler,
And trust me, sir,
’Twill set your wrongs aright.
Whene’er a sweetheart proves unkind
And greets you with a frown,
Or laughs your passion to the wind,
Tho talk of all tho town,
Plead not your cause on bended knee
And murmured sighs prolong,
But gather from my minstrelsy
The burden of my song:
Another lass, another lass—
There’s always beauty by
Blake love to her,
Anil trust m \ sir,
’Twill clear the clouded sky.

The Wily Counterfeiter.
The professional counterfeiter rarely,
if ever, places his own work into circula
tion. lie sells to vrhat is known as tho
“second party,” and the latter in turn to
the “sliover” or “layer down.” Ex
perienced detectives claim that the “sec
ond party,” as a rule, pays about thirty stuff,
per cent, of the lace for the “queer”
and he in turn sells to the ,- 8hover” at
an advance of front fifteen to twenty per
cent. The “sliover’’generally travels in
company wdh a “pal,” who carries the
bulk of the “queer.” This is done in
order that if the counterfeit is fastened
upon the “shover,” and his arrest fol
lows, and no other counterfeit is found
on his person, it relieves him in a measure
from the suspicion of being a of “profes
sional.” The prices less paid degree vary, of course, work
with the greater or
manship in the counter,cit. and so is the
manner of circulation adapted to the
circumstances. Smaller notes are pretty
generally circulated without regard to
unisou in action, hut if big bills have to
be floated arrangements are made by
which the bulk of the queer can be put
in circulation simultaneously down to
the minute—in every large city and in
numerous places of each city. This is
done to circum ent any telegraphic another
“pointers,” sent from one city to
of the discovery of counterfeits.— Wash

A Gliost Parly.
A novel party wag lately given bj
some Philadelphians at a summer resort,
invitations were issued for a “ghost
party,” and the evening was devoted to
tho recitation of weird and grewsomo
tales of horror and to the recounting of
personal experiences that were in every
way calculated to make the hair of the
assembled company stand on end. When
the blood of all the guests was begin- of
ning to curdle the witching hour
midnight was rung out by the clock.
This proved to be the signal for supper,
and immediately lights were brought
and the ghostly seance was over.

DEATH OF “ OIP JANUARY.”
The Man Who Won $10/ 00 with a
Candy Lozenge lor a Check.
[From tho N. Y. Sun.j
Ira Jenree, once a noted New York
gambler, is dead. Ho died on Monday
evening at tho Gedney House, where he
had been living with his wife. Ho will
he better remembered by New Yorkers
who were men about town in his day as
Ira January, for that is tho way his
name was usually rendered. Iu fact,
many who were quite well acquainted real
with him thought that was his
name. In those days faro was king,
and backers and dealers were in a peon
niary standpoint whore successful book
makers are to-day, and, in a social po
sition, vastly better than their modern
prototypes. “January” graduated from tho posi
tion of card writer in the old St. Nich
olas Hotel, and began his career as a
gambler in 18" 1. After that time, as
hanker, dealer, and player on both sides
of the layout, he went through -gambler’s the CHS- life.
ternary vicissitudes of a
He made and lost half ft dozen fortunes,
ami lifts more than onee worth half n
million dollars. His first venture was
at Broadway and Fulton street in part
nership with Ed Kline, wlierft both of
them made a couple of hundred thousand
dollars, which was then tvs much ns a
couple of million is now. His next
room was at 573 Broadway, whore gam
blers and visitors from Southern cities
were the principal customers. He was
afterwards in Barclay street, Ann street,
Twenty-eighth street, and had games in
a dozen of otherplaces at different times.
His varied luck in these places those gave of
him experience ranging from a
“high roller” to those of a “check char
mer. ”
The incident that gave him the most
fame among gamblers verged closely the on
“check charming.” He was on out
side of the table, one night playing place
against the bank in Matt Dancer’s
in Broadway, near Bond street. Luck
\Vft3 against him, his last cheek had been
swept up by the dealer, aud he hadn’t a
cent to buy any more. Putting his
liand idly into liis pocket, he felt a can
dy lozenge there. As he drew it out it
looked so much like a white check that
ho was inspired to play it. As he laid
it down on a card and put a marker on
it to copper the bet, it looked all right.
He won, and the dealer paid him a good
white check for the bet. Tho whites
warn :i dollar apiece in that game, and
“January’s” luck proved to be on the
turn when that bet was made. He ran
his dollar up to $3,000 before leaving
the table, and three days later lie had
$40,000 in his pocket, all won upon the
candy lozenge. He was fond of telling
this story himself, and John Morrissy
has often vouched for its truth.
Lately he has been little known out
side of a limited circle, where lie was
called “Old January.” He died with
out means, and Hie funeral expenses will
be defrayed by liis Masonic lodge.
He Sized Him Up.
