ll, GAMBLING ?Y?TEMS. There Xever Was One Devised That Can Beat the Bank. "When a system is played against a bank like that at Monte Carlo, the per? centage against the player is not on the amount of his capital, but on the amount that he stakes cn the tables while playing his system. Supposing that I have a capital of ?10, and that I play ?1 each coup until I have either losi my ?10 or won a similar amount of the bank. I should in all probability have to play about 200 coups in order to <io the one or the other. Therefore the percentage against me would not be on ?10, but on ?200. If this ba??? percentage were 2 per cent, I should consequently be paving ?4 for the riga.: to risk ?10 at even chances. ? used to know long ago one of the chiefs of the old Homburg gambling bank. I found him at Monte yarlo in. the same position there. He was fond of calculations, and one day we aver? aged the amount staked at the tables each day, and we found that the annu? al gross profit of the bank was almost exactly the percentage on the amount staked in the course of the year. There ?an be no business in which the return JB more certain or greater. Consols re? turn less than S per cent per annum. A mine that pays a dividend of 100 per cent is a Pact?las. But a coup at Monte Carlo takes a little less than a minute. The percentage is, if I remember right? ly, a little under 2 per cent, or, in other "words, the bank charges 2 per cent f o:r money per minute. This must make the mouth of the veriest usurer water. london Truth. A Snot That Made Trouble. An odd incident happened in the then Danish West Indies about a quarter of a century ago that nearly caused serious international complications. An American marksman, paying a visit to Charlotte Amalia, amused the governor, by an exhibition of his skill with the rifle. Sitting on the veranda of the government house, he said that ko could cat with a bullet the signal hal? yards on the flagstaff of the fort and lower the Danish standard to the ground. As the lines were almost in? visible in the distance the governor -was willing to bet that he could not do it. The shot rang out, and the flag fell. Presently a horseman dashed up, in? forming the governor that some one had fired on the flag. There was great excitement. The governor, none too popular, it seems, with the military, ruined his political future by admit? ting that the affair was a joke in which he connived. Report being sent to Copenhagen, highly colored, of course, by the commandant, his excel? lency was summarily removed.-New York Press. Sensations During- Hangrins*. One question often asked and which few living persons are abie to answer is, "What are the sensations of a man who is being strangled with a rope?" Some of the few who have lived to give an account of what occurred to them at that critical moment say that after one instant of pain the chief sensation is that of a mass of brilliant colors be? fore the eyes. Professor Boughton, who was one day testing for himself what such an experience would be like, lost^bis footing and was acciden? tally discovered and rescued just as .the last faint spark of life was about to leave the body. He declared after? ward that he felt no pain and that the only sensation was that of a fire be? fore his eyes which finally changed from a bright blue to a black color. -He said that he had no fear of the "consequences and that the colors were even a source of extreme pleasure. Mica and Isinglass. Mica and isinglass are not at all the same, though the names are sometimes confused. Mica is a transparent min? eral, capable of being cleaved into elas? tic plates of extreme thinness. It is transparent and is used like glass in lanterns and the doors of stoves. Its power of resisting heat makes it much better than glass for stove doors. Isin? glass is a substance consisting chiefly of gelatin. Ii is prepared from the sounds of air bladders of certain fresh water fishes. The Lest deposits of mica in the United States are in the mountains cf Nerti) Carolina. In the Black H?ls of Dakota mica is found near tin ore, but its presence is cot an indication of geld. A Faxt Crowing; Vine. The Kudzu vine is probably the mest rapid growing plant in the world. I: belongs to the bean family. The leaves lock something like a lima bean ano was once called Dolichos jap?nicas. It will grow easily sixty feet in three months. It was introduced imo Ameri? ca by the Japanese during the Centen? nial exhibition, lt is said that in its own country it has flowers like bunch? es of wistaria. For some reason Amer? ican summers do not seem long enougl for it. It rarely blooms. An Annoying Qsesiion. Teddy-Mamma. Tommy I.nocked inf down on the way Lome from school to day. (After a pause.)

A hungry kitten was put into a cage, the door of which would fall open when a loop of wire that hung in front of the cage was pulled down an inch. The kitten tried to squeeze between the bars, clawed and bit at them, thrust its paws out between the bars and clawed at various loose objects in the cage. It clawed the loop several times, but not with enough force to pull it down. After ICO seconds of such activity, it happened to claw the loon hard enough, and so escaped. After it had eaten the food outside, it was put into the box again. There ' was a repetition of the same activities, but the successful movement came this time after thirty seconds. On the next trial, general activity fdr ninety sec? onds was required before the kitten es? caped. With repeated trials the asso? ciation between the interior of the box and the act of clawing at the loop be? came fixed, so that ?nally the kitten would do it in a few seconds-that is, as soon as put into the box. This progress is shown in the times taken in the different trials. They were 1G0, 30, 90. SO; 15, 28. 20, 30, 22, ll, 15, 20, 12, 10, 14, 10, 8, 8, 5, 10, 8, 6. 6 and 7 seconds.-Professor E. L. Thorndike ir International Monthly. A Scotch Antigolf Law. Scotland, as everybody knows, is the land where golf originated and the land where it most flourishes. But if the law were strictly enforced north of the Tweed it would go hard with the play? ers of the royal game in "Bonnie Scot? land." Golf players there may not know it, but they are liable to a sen? tence of death for -their indulgence in their favorite sport. Technically, this is literally a fact In ancient times, when Scotland always had work for her soldiers to do, all young men were required to perfect themselves in arch? ery. They preferred to play golf, and so serious a rival did the game become that it was for a time suppressed and made a capital offense. That curious law never has been repealed and may still be found on the statute book. There seems to be no record, however, of the law ever having been enforced. Browning-'? Care For Health. Browning never passed a day without taking one or more long walks. Indeed, bis panace:: for most ills was exercise, and the exercise he chiefly advocated was walkirg. Ke wrote: "I get as nearly angry as it is in me to become with people I love when they trifle with their health-that is. with their life-like children playing with jewels ever a bridge side, jewels which once in the water how can we, the poer lookers om hope to recover? You don't know bow absolutely well I am after my.walking, not on the moun? tains merely, but on the beloved Lido. Go there, if only to stand and be blown about by the sea wind."-Century Mag? azine.

His j?omentary Surpri?s "Tour vote in favor of this measure," said the lobbyist, "would be worth mil? lions to you" "Hardly so much as that!" gasped Senator Graphter, his fingers working convulsively. -"in the consciousness of having done your duty to your countrymen." The eager light died out of the sena? tor's eyes, and he relapsed into his former apathy.-Chicago Tribune Pleasant For the Caller. "Mamma is dressing."

Wbnm the Gods Love Die Xot Yonne, bat In Old Agre.

Broken Uves are sure? ly not the perfected human product of God's great plan. The prophets of the remotest recorded time, the grandeur of whose thought has been the theme of preachers and writers for thou? sands of years, lived to ages which seem miraculous to moderns.
