I The One That Will Surely Beat Faro g and Roulette. "Every contiried gambler in the 1 world has spent more or less time try- t ig to tigure out Some system to beat the game." said a well known northern sporting moai. "-The iori.onest and c mat 1;ttpeible scheme is the one known as 'progression.' It is simply a dou blg of bets until a winning occurs. and theoretically it is perfect. but the trouble is that all gour.bling games have a limit. and the doubling process Increases a wager with such enormous rapidity that It is apt to get over the stipulated amount before the winning takes place. -I was at Monte Carlo last spring." continued the speaker. "and was sur prised at the. number of touts who in fested the grounds peddling 'sure thing systems to break the bank. The ludicrous part of It was that most of the peddlers -were seedy and poverty stricken in- appearale. yet they pur ported to sell secrets which would in fallibly enrich any purchaser. I asked one fellow why he didn't try his sys tem himself and buy a new hat. and he replied very glibly that he was working for a syndicate' and under bonds not to play. "Nearly all of these systems are I based on progression and would be Im possible In high play owing to the ca sino limit. Nevertheless I saw a num- I ber of small progression players at the i tables and was told that they have t been a fixture there for many years. I They were nearly all borrible looking. I bloodless old women. who began with I the smallest possible wager and quit t when they won 20 francs. or less than $4. A house oflicial informed me that they were tolerated about the place on account of age and infirmity and that their daily winnings were regarded in the light of a pension. "In the days of open gambling in l New Orleans I remember there used to be several broken down sports who were said to make a living off the games by *progression playing.' I have my doubts about it. however. The best system and the only system that will beat faro and roulette is to stay i away." - New Orleans Times-Demo Read This Before You Write.

A correspondent writing to Dumb ,nimals says: Dumb ain:als are said have a "sign" language cf their own v which they make lnovrn the emo ions of pleasure or pain and a limited atalogue of wa::ts and sorrows. Ie ently I had occasion to dispose of a -months-old ea!f which vwas taken wray about noUon and bt:tchered a hort distance from my residence. When the cow came home at night, he missed her calf, and although an rphan calf was permitted to suck she ontinued ti call it by affectionate iooing and looking. The cow, how ver. only gave a1;;ut one quart of milk stead of a gallun or more. as former r.

She came inside he inclosure, but would not eat grass. Just after dinner a great commotion ras heard In the direction of where the alf was butchered. made by a number f cattle lowing. having scented the rc-sh blood. The grief stricken mother ow ran to the closed gate and looked eseechingly toward me. as much as to ay, 'Please open the gate," which eing done she started on a run to rhere the other cattle were lowing. In a short time she came slowly calking back to the house and was gain permitted to come inside the in losure. when she deliberately took up position at the kitchen door. wistful y looking in mute despair at each nember of the family as they happen -d to pass her. The tears flowed copi usly fro, her eyes. and there she tood the balance of the afternoon, peeping incessantly, with the same ap iarent grief that a mother would for ter dead child. It really caused me to bed tears of sympathy for the poor inlmal. TOLD BY THE GROCER. [i Conversation With a Deaf Wom am Lbst Him a Customer.

Pud dings, Buns and the Like Are Rai sins 3fade From Little Grapes That Are Grown In Greece. "Mother wants a pound of -dried cur rants." said a little girl who came into the learned grocer's store in Eighth avenue. "I hain't got a dried currant in the store and there hain't none in the city," replied the learned grocer. "But t know what you want. sissy, and I've pot 'cal." The learned grocer brou L: ;forth a box of the little, sticky. sugary. gritty currants used in fruit cake. pium pud dings. mince pies, buns and the like. "Why, them's 'em!" exclaimed the little girl. "Yes; them's 'em." assent'd the gro cer, "and if the Grecian maiden who trod this particular lot of 'em into ship shape had u.zed a little water or even a feather duster on her feet before she began there wouldn't be so much grit in 'em as there is. She must have been having a regular hoedown on the clas sic sands before she began to dance on this box of fruit. There. sissy; tell your mother she must bathe 'em in sev eral waters before she uses 'em. or she might just as well put a lot of sandpa per in her fruit cake. And tell her that they ain't dried currants either." "What's the reason they ain't dried currants?" demanded a disputative customer when the girl had gone. "They ain't dried currants any more than they are dried pumpkins." replied the grocer. "The reason they ain't dried currants is that they weren't cur rants before they were dried. Good reason enough, ain't it?" "Yes," said the customer, less dispu tative than he was. "But what does everybody call them dried currants for then ?" "'Cause they don't know any better." said the learned grocer. "They'll go right on coming in here and asking for dried currants just the same after I tell 'em why they ain't dried currants as they did before." "What should they ask for, then ?" In quirea the customer. "If any man should come in here and ask for dried coriuths." replied the learned grocer. "he would not necessa rily be a gentleman, but I'd bet on him being a scholar. Dried corinths is what you should ask for when you want this little sugar coated, gritty raisin, for It's a raisin pure and sim ple." "How's that?" the customer wanted to know. "Because it was a grape before it was dried," said the grocer. "and If rai sins ain't grapes what are they "But you said these were dried cor inths," persisted the customer. "What's a corinth, anyhow?" "A corinth is the smallest grape that grows," replied the learned grocer. "and it lost its name years and years ago because it was gradually corrupted Into 'currant.' which becanie also the name of the acidulated little berry of our garden, which you might dry from now until Gabriel sounds his horn without getting it nearer the condition of a raisin than a pea is. "This little grape grows all over the islands of the Grecian archipelago and was first exported from Corinth. and that's what gave it its proper name. The bunches don't grow much bigger than a stemn of red currants, and they are so full of sugar that when they are picked and dried in the sun they actu ally seem to melt and run together like gumdrops. and it taikes a lot of care and wvork to separate them again. "A fter they are separ'atedl is the time when the Grecian wmaiden gets her work in on 'em. for it is one of ber pleasant duties to jump on a heap of the sticky stuff with her bare feet until she has comlpressedl enough of' the little raisins to squeeze three boxes of them into one. No hydraulic p)~ump could do it better. If it could, we wouldn't have the sand and grit the maiden's feet mngle w-ith the fruit, and without that no dried corinths are gemre "Still, I shall expect folks to come in here right along and ask for ci:'ie'd cur rants just'the same." said the hearned grocer as he went to wait on a new cus tomer.-New York Press.

The Meeting Between an Ambitou Hunter and i11 First Grizzly. In "Sketches of .ife In the Golden State" Coloiel Alt: t . Evans tells an amusing anecd;t.- an ambitions hunter who met I . :rast gr!zzly bear in procession. The incident occurred in the woods near the site of the pres ent town of Monterey. The hunter sat down to rest in the shade of a tree and unwittingly went to sleep. Wheln he woke. it was near sunset, and he sat up, rubbing his eyes and contemplating a return to his hotel several miles distant. Just then a rustli:g and tracking noise from a clump of chaparral about 100 yards away attracted his attention. Out walked a grizzly bear. a monarch of his kind. It. }awned. lieke'ld his jaws and then advan(cd toward the tree where our hunter sat. but evident ly was unconscious of his presence. His grizzly majesty ii'l proceeded about 20 paces when a fnci:ale hear fol lowed him, and an instant later a third grizzly followed her at a slow, sham bling pace. The hunter sat spellbound with ter ror as the procession came toward him until the forward grizzly was within 30 yards. Then, scarcely realizing what he did, he sprang to his feet and uttered a frenzied yell-yell upon yell! The effect was magical. The fore most bear sprang into the air, turned sharply about, knocked the female down, rolled over her, gathered himself up and bolted "like 4o eartloads of rock going down a shoot," straight for the chaparral again. the other two i bears close at his heels and never turn ing to see what had frightened them. The hunter, seeing the enemy re treating, sprang to his feet and fied at top speed for the hotel. leaving hat and gun behind. The truth of his wild and startling tale was proved the next day by the numerous bear tracks of differ ent sizes found In the marshy ground near by. But the three bears had gone off beyond pursuit. SINKING SHIPS. They Don't Linger In Midocean. but Go to the Bottom. What becomes of the ships that sink at sea? Do they go all the way to the bottom or do they meet somewhere un der the surface a certain pressure that buoys them up and holds them In equi librium? Somebody, we forget who it is, has given rein to his grewsome'fan cy and pictured all the ships that have been lost in midocean as wandering about like so many ghosts half way be tween the surface and the bottom. There is no foundation whatever for such a notion, though many persons have it. Any object that will sink be neath the surface of the sea will go all the way to the bottom. The pressure encountered on the way down. which is simply enormous in the deeper parts. has nothing to do with the object's sinking, for it is exerted on the object as well as on the water. thus equalizing the conditions. The reason whythe object sinks to the bottom is that water is not compressi ble; at least it is so little so that its den sity at the bottom of the sea Is only a tri le greater than it is at the surface. Sci entists tell us that the water at the bot tom is just about as much denser than the water at the surface as sen water is denser than fresh wvater. This slight dif'erence In density, therefore, does not ant' cannot stop the downward course of a sinking ship or any object that is heavy enough to sink rapidly beneath the surface. Pres sure, as we have said, is not a factor In the case at ali.-Chicago Record. A Bone "Library." There Is a lending library of human bones in London. It is intended for the use of medical students, and the bones are lent out in exactly the same man ner as books from a circulating library.
