?. " Fox as a Gamester.
Charles James Fox, the English
statesman, was even more notorious in
the gaming world than he was famous
In the world of politics. He had
squandered $250,000 before coming of
ag%. He became one of the most profli
gate gamesters of the vicious days In
which he lived. Some of his finest dis
plays in debate were sandwiched be
tween excitement stich as would un
nerve most men who had no serious
business on hand. Walpole has given
a glimpse of a typical passage in this
extraordinary man's life. He had to
take part in the discussion on the
thirty-nine articles in parliament on a
certain Thursday. He bad sat up play
ing hazard from Tuesday evening until
5 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. An
hour before he . had recovered $00,000
that he had lost and by dinner time,
which was 5 o'clock, ended losing $55,
000. On Thursday he spoke in the
debate, went to dinner at past ll at
night; thence to a club, where he
drank till 7 the next morning; thence
to a gambling house, where he won
$30,000, and between 3 and 4 in the
afternoon he set out on a journey to
Newmarket
Pirates and Strategy.
The virtuous island of Sark was not
always so. When Edward III. was
king, Sark was a haunt of pirates and
wreckers. Sir A. Conan Doyle in "Sir
Nigel" tells how they lived not upon
the island, "but from what they can
gather upon the sea around it They
are broken folk from all countries
justice fliers, prison breakers, reavers,
escaped bondsmen, murderers and
staff breakers who have made their
way to this outland place and hold it
against all comers." The merchants
of Rye and Winchelsea fitted out an
expedition against those scourges of
the narrow seas. A landing was ob
tained by strategy. Leave was ob
tained to bury a supposititious dead
sailor on the Island, the burying party
to come unarmed. But that apparent
coffin was filled with weapons, and so
was Sark cleansed of its evil inhabit
ants.-London Standard.
A Story of Mathews.
Charles Mathews one day previous
to the period of his publicly proclaimed
dire bankruptcy invited a friend to
dine with him. The walnuts were
.washed down by some rare sherry.
"That's a delicious wine," his friend
exclaimed. "It must have cost you a
lot of money."
"It didn't cost me anything that I
know of," the flighty comedian an
swered, with a shrug.
"You had it given to you, then?" the
friend suggested.
"Oh, no," answered Mathews; "I
bought it from Ellis, in Bond street*'
"But he will charge you something
for lt?" the friend exclaimed in aston
ishment
"I believe he does write something
down in a book," Charles retorted
gravely. "Let's have another glass,
my boy."
When Tea Was Dear.
Those who grumble at the price of
tea should turn for consolation to the
records of its price in early times. At
its first introduction into England,
about the middle of the seventeenth
century, tea fetched anything between
?6 and ?10 a pound, and though a fall
in price quickly tjok place the East
India company still had to pay over
?4 for the two pounds of tea which it
presented the king. However, even
thus it is doubtful if the tea merchants
got very fat seeing that the importa
tion of some 4,000 pounds in 1678 was
enough to glut the market for some
years.-London Chronicle.
English Injustice.
An Australian tourist traveling in
the west of Ireland asked an old wo
man how far lt was to the nearest
town. She sadly looked at him, then
sighed and said:
"It was five nice miles two years'
ago, but some English brute came over
with chains and made it seven, and
our hearts are L.oke walking it ever
since. Bad luck to them!"
And she disappeared into the house,
leaving him there.-Illustrated Bits.
Cramp In the Leg.
To those who suffer from cramp in
the leg at night the following hint
may be useful: When the cramp
comes on take a good strong string
a long garter will do-wind it round
the leg over the place that ls affected
and take an end in each hand and
give it a sharp pull, one that will hurt
a little. Instantly the cramp will de
art, and tho sufferer can return to
assured It will not come on again
