The house, however, refused to -post poite tile passage of the coli uit tee bill and sent it to the senate. Th'ile house adjourned Yesterday at I o'clock to meet at 8 o'clock .londay night.

"It would be most blessed for old maids to go to a home for orphans and adopt bright children who are patterns of good," said the R1ev. Dr. Floyd W.

Dispatch to the Now York Sun. The German Empire. Sincee 1871 all tihe states of Germany form an "external union for the pro toction of theo realm and tile care of the welfare of thec German peole." F~or legislative purposes, uinde~r the em peror' as head, are two house of as semibly, theo upper hlouse of the tfed. orated states, representing tile inldhiid ual states, and the lower house, or "Reich stag." Thue formor corresponds(1 very closely to our senate, whIle the latter resembles our house of repre senltativesl. Germany, while theoreti Cally a monarchy, is .in substance and practice as demnocr-atic a country as l.here is on earth. The emperor knows very well that it is no longer by "divine right," but by the right of nhepneopl e that ha sitsat he hea CHANCE ALWAYS WINS MONEY IN BETTING THE OTHER FELLOW WILL GUESS WRONG. Peculiar Pyschological Paot, But It Has Been Proved to Be Exact Records of Monte Carlo Show It to Be Right. Toss a coin into the air 10,000 times and it will very likely turn up heads as often as tails. But let any man try on each of the 10,000 times to say whether it will be heads or tails and if ho does not stick to calling the samno one he will iiss it more than five thousand times. I have the authority of a great psy chologist for this queer fact. Leave a thing wholly to chance, and if chances are even the result will.be even. However, when the human mind backs its wits against chance it will in the long run lose. It was on this theory that people will guess wrong oftener than they will guess right that the Rufus Wall ingford enterprises, which were closed up in Philadelphia yesterday, could thrive. Guessing in future events where personal preference or preju dice enters makes the chance of losing all the greater. The most famous insurance concern in the world Is the Lloyds. A fairly largo part of Its business has been to bet that the other fellow will guess wrong. That is why it has becomo so rich itself. Tho bucket shop and its system of playing the stock market cannot win. They win very often, but they lose oftener. hence tho empty pockets of those who try to wring fortunes out of guessing whether Union Pacific and spring wheat will this afternoon go ip or down. Monte Carlo records show that in a year the red on any roulette wheel wine virtually the same number of times as the black. Ilut the records also show that any player who does not cling steadily to one color, but varies his guesses, will in 'the end lose. I do not includo the percentages in favor, of the bank, but just the straight red and black proposition. One color has been known at this most fascinat ing spot on the Riviera to come up 56 consecutive times. Gamblers say that when tossing a coin you should let the other fellow call it. Your own chance of winning is thereby mado greater by the human brain's inability to cope against chance.-Exchango. He Knew She'd Guess it. For five years John llenry bad been .keeping company %%ith Hannah May, but not once in all that time had he whistled any tune that sounded like a wedding march. Naturally Hannah May was beginning to feel a trifle con cerned. One evening, however, John Henry came to the house looking as if he might propose, and a great hope filled the heart of the fairy one. Hope de veloped into certainty when the young man drew a small jeweler's box from his vest pocket "Hannah, dear," began John Henry, in a gentle voice, "I have brqught you a little present, but I'm afraid it won't fit your finger. WVill you try it on?" "Oh, John!" ecstatically cried the dear one, "do you really mean to say that you have bought me---" "Yes," was the hope, killing rejoin der of John as he handed over the box, "a thimble. I knew you would guess it\the first time." Chinese Woman's Cbmplexion. A. French expert has been giving his attention to what ho calls "the exquisite complexion of the Chinese women." This, he claims, is not due to enameling, as is generally sup posed, but to careful manIpulation of the face by most expert masseuses. They begin by a gentle pinching of the cheeks between the til)S 'f their fingers, an operation that consuntes a period of ten mInutes. sThen lotions are applied by means of absorbent cot ton; then comes an unguent, and there follows a kneading of the cheeks with an extreme delicacy of touch, always proceeding from the nose and commis sures of the lips toward the ears. Harper's Weekly. Uncorkirtg a Bottle. It often happens that in attemptIng to uncork a bottle the stopper is forced into the bottle instead, and it thus floats on the liquid. This would perhaps not be a drawback were it not that each tIme the bottle is to be emptied the cork comes to the neck and causes an obstruction, preventing the flow of the liquid. T'his can be avoided very readily, and nil that is needed is to bendl a piece of stiff iron wire in a long U-shape, properly fit ting it in the neck of the bottle so that the loop portion projects some What below the neck. Upon overturn ing the hottle, the wire loop prevents the cork fronm reaching th~e neck to olp .struct it. Hope Springs Eternal.
