There are legal methods to test the

The are only two establishments be-
longing to this monastic order id the
United States, one at New Haven, Ky,
and the other near Dubuque, la. The
Trappists are not cheerful set, and how
they manage to gain recruits for their
cells is a mystery. They make life a
burden, and even in their greetings are
gloomy. "Memento mori," they say,
instead of Good morning." as if there
were danger of forgetting the human at.
tribute of mortality. And not satisfied
with uncomfortably intruding death into
life, they turn night into day, compelling
each to get up at am, in order to
spend twelve hours at prayer and relig-
ious reading, which is expected
to fit them for exertion IN the cul-
tivation of the fields belonging to
the establishment, for several hours
mere. Their bill of fare is limited.
Cider is the only luxury The bill is
filled by water, vegetables and bread.
Worldly conversation is prohibited.
For keds the soft side o. pine plank is
expected 10 sultce, and the head wearied
with thinking, pillows itself on bag of
straw. The brothers are not allowed to
take off their clothing under any circum-
staaces, which leads to the inference
that cleanliness is regarded ss being an-
tagonistic to godliness. Altogether the
Trappists appear to be a set of whom
the world has no need, and who, having
no need OF the world, soHld either die
- - die out with profit to themselves and
no harm to the sAst of mankind.

Civilization is gradually penetrating
to the remote regions of the earth. A
faro bank has been established in Eejeer
and the natives are fascinated with the
game. 4 somewhat sad incident IS
mentioned in connection with the last
match for the championship. A chief
became interested in a game, the stakes
for which we're human beings iattened
for the table. Luck seemed to be against
the chief. for he put up bis servants and
lost He did not shed a tear over this
disaster. Then he staked his unmarried
sister and his wife's cousins-and the
bank raked in all the chips. The intat-
uated chief then put up lis baby, and
the owner Of the bank had 1t packed
down in the ice chest in fifteen minutes.
The chief then bet ell hts children
successively, and lost and then,
having gambled away his wife, he
staked himself on the last chance, and
again bet on the wrong card. When he
had time to think it over, the chief said
that he was convinced that gambling
WAS very wrong, and be thought that II

sir, that 1t costs twelve sous to see me?'
Certainly; here are twenty-four. I'll
come again tomorrow. Voltaire was
unarmed, and lavished all manner of
politeness upon his visitor.
1t was ~ the little hotel Of the
Anchor here at 0uchy, that Byron,
detained by bad weather, wrote his
" Prisoner of Chillon;" and it was at

named after him, overlooking the same
spot, that Gibbon finished his great his.

where the last lines were written on that
memorial 9th of June, between IL
o'clock and midnight" Gibbons house,
Notwithstanding what your guide book
may say, is no longer standing at Lau-
same; 1t is a curious fact that the
Swiss girl whom Gibbons father would
not let him marry, was afterward the
mother of Nine. de Stael She was a
Mile Susanne Curchod daughter of
country clergyman in the neighborhood
of Lausanne, a remarkably beautiful
and accomplished young lady, who
atterward, as Nine. Necker, was not
unworthy of his high place, at time
when her husband directed not only
French finances but France itself. Glib.
bon spent great share of his life in
Lausanne, mingling freely in the highly
cultivated society for which that city
was so celebrated in the last century
Towards the close of his career good
!i9ins and the extraordinary healthful-
ness of the climate made him very
stout. This, however, did not prevent
him from maintaining his reputation for
excessive politeness to ladies'. One day
he threw himself upon his knees before
one of the beauties of Lausanne, who
did not seem pleased with the ardor of
his compliment, and summoned him to
rise; but he could not-he weighed too
much. The lady had to ring for a serv-
ant to help the great decliner and faller
to his feet again.

ought to be suppressed by the authori.
ties. But, before his friends could get a
bill passed he was put in cask to corn
for the faro-bapk man. A succession OF
very succulent free lunches made that
establishment very attractive to the
Fejeean epicures for several months
afterward. The name of the chief s
family no longer appears in the drec-
tory. The faro-bank proprietor, how
ever, is inclined to be benevolent, and
he offers TO make very liberal arrange
ments for Sunday schools. He is now
very much interested in missionary,
whom he expects to entice into his den.
He has intimated to his confidential
friends that if he can only get that mis-
sionary to play one game and bet the in
fant class, he will get up supper which
will discount spring chickens entirely

How VOltaire and Gibbons Made
Themselves comfortable.

Themselves Comfortable.
Yoltaire was over fifty when he built
himself this magnificent retreat. Yet
the score of years that he lived here was
probably the busiest of his life. During
ths summer he composed Walking in the
shadow Of his trees; in ths winter he
worked mostly in bed. He always pre-
tended i'll health, but managed to toll
fourteen hours a day. His secretary
slept in little recess above Voltaire' S
bedroom, md at the least noise at night
came down to write under his master S
dictation. In this way this busiest and
cleverest of men made up for the inter
ruptions Of society. Many stories are
told Of the importunate Who came from
far and near TO see the intellectual
wonder of his century, None better
than the following, which have
never met in English: One day
an unknown person demanded to see
the Lord Of Fernex Tell him that l
am not here" shouted Voltaire. But
hear him, urged the stranger. Tell
him that / am i'll, then" l will feel
his pulse; am in that business" Tell
him I'm dead" "Tll bury him; it
won't be the first one, either. ! am a
doctor" Well" exclaimed Voltaire,
