A Story of Gambling,

Some twenty eight years ago, id
Senator Jones, of Nevada, 1 went to
California, and on the way out was an
old gambler, with set out of faro boxes,
roulette tables, etc. He took liking to
me, and he said q" Johnny, I'll tell you
a secret that may save you many dol
lar. Do you see this wheel2 It's cir
Gle is black and red, and they let on the
colors-a nearly even chance. Now,
watch me, Johnny, as I set here and
spin the ball. Do you see me gently
raise my knee and press under the
frame of the table? Well, those red and
black compartments are connected by
two sets of wires. I raise my knee
when l see that the bulk of money is on
tho red, and that wire running through
the reds trills and trembles, SO that the
ball won't rest on any red cell, but is re-
PEELED and settles in some black spot
Johnny, remember this when you have
bagged your gold dust" went into o
gambling house about year afterward
to make stake. There was a fine,
fighting gambler sitting there spinning
roulette. Said L to myself: " Young
man, I'll just take peep at your knees. +"
He raised them very gently, and l
planted my money against the pile,
knowing that when he swept the great
amount off for the red he must pay the
black. So l picked up hundred dol
lars Or SO. Every time hit it. That
gambler got his eye on me. 1t was an
eye full of smallpox audacity. He ad-
dressed me finally in a loud tone of
voice. Said he: "Didn't l tell you
never to come here again? Didn't /
tell you that this was place for gentle
men9 This a gentleman's game. That
man, gentlemen, it is my duty to warn
you against /; that loafer is a thief. "
Well, continued Jones, had never in
my life been there before. but [ saw the
scheme. If I resented what the boss
said there were forty fellows there, cap
pers and so forth, to kick me down
stairs and rob me, SO I meekly said z:
"Well, sir, I do not wish to make any
disturbance here. If you don't want
me here Til take my money and CO."

Ii / Had Leisure.

" If had leisure I would repair that
weak place in my fence" said farmer.
He had none, however, and while drink
ing cider with neighbor the COWS broke
in and injured a prime piece of corn.
" If l had leisure" said wheelwright
last winter, "I would alter MY stove
pipe, for know it is not safe. But he
did not find time, and when his shop
caught fire and burned down he found
time to build another. elf I had
leisure" said the mechanic, " should
have my work done in season." The
man thinks his time has been all occu-
pied, but he was not at work till after
sunrise; he quit work at five o'clock,
smoked cigar after dinner and spent
two hours on the street talking nonsense
with an idler. If I had LEISURE" said
a merchant, " would pay more atten-
tion to my accounts and would try and
collect my bills more promptly" The
chance is, my friend, if you had leisure
you would probably pay less attention
to the matter.

A Few Hints.

Three-fourths of a cubic foot of water
evaporated per hour will produce ono
horse power. ...r. .....
Cold blast iron is stronger than hot
blast. Annealing cast iron diminishes
its tensile strength.
The safe load in tons which on iron
chain will withstand equals the square
of the diameter divided by nine.
Laths are one and one fourth to one
and one-half inches by four feet in
length, are usually set one-fourth of an
inch apart, and bundle contains one
hundred.
Two hundred and seventy cubic feet
of new meadow hay and ZIG and 243
from large or red stacks will weigh II
ton; 297 to 324 cubic feet of dry clover
will weigh ton.
A mixture of nine parts phosphate of
soda, six parts nitrate of ammonia, and
four parts dilate nitric acid is freezing
compound which will cause afall in tenn
perature of seventy-one deg Fab.
A tarred rope is about one-fourth
weaker than untarred whiterope. Tarred
hemp and MANILA ropes are of about
equal strength. Wire rope of the same
strength as new hemp rope will run on
the same sized sheaves; but the greater
the diameter of the latter, the longer it
will wear. One wire rope will usually
outlast three hemp ropes. Running wire
rope needs no projections; standing rig
ging should be kept well painted

A Stage Kiss.

The other night at the imperial opera,
Vienna, handsome tenor, Bastiano
Widmann, having to kiss the soprano,
Signorina Giovanni, in Lortzing's opera
of the "Armoarer," that lady, at the
rehearsal, requested him to "make
believe" in the correct Viennese man
ner. When the proper moment came
at the first performance the handsome
tenor plumpiy and resonantly kissed the
astonished soprano upon her rosy lips.
Signorina Giovanni, after the curtain
fell, went in a pretty rage to the man
ager and complained. The manager
sent for the handsome tenor and re-
quested him to restrain his ardor. When
the second representation took place,
Signorina Giovanni, distrusting him,
exclaimed, loud enough for the house to
hear: 81 will excuse you from the kiss J"
The handsome tenor, incensed at the
insult, responded in a stage whisper !:
" Thank God for that. Who wants to
kiss such an old thingY" The house sat
appalled,. Signorina Giovanna founced
off the stage and the handsome tenor
has been hidden to apologiz3 or alb

Rest.

ReSt.
My feet are wearied and my hands are tired
My soul oppressed
And with desire have long desired
Rest-only rest.
'Tis hard to toil-when toll is almost vain
In barren ways
'Tis hard to SOW and never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden Of my day is hard to bear
But God knows best;
And 1 have prayed, but vain has been my
prayer,
For rest-sweet rest.
'Tis hard to plant in spring and never reap
The autumn yield;
'Tis hard to till-snd when tbs titled to weep
Ger fruitless field.
And so cry weak and human cry,
So heart oppressed
And 80 1 sigh weak and human sigh
For rest-for rest.
My way has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
My path and through the flowing Of hot tears
Ipined for rect.
'Twss always SO; when still chilli laid
On mothers breast
My wearied little head; cen then prayed,
As now, for rest.
And am restless still. Twill soon be DER
For, down the west
Iifes sun is setting, and I see the shore
Were l shall rest.

Shrinkage.

Jones says hat the white flannel suit
he bought a year ago has proved a very
economical investment, and has been of
much use in his family. Jones weighs
$50 pounds, and when he bought it it
fitted him remarkably we'll. After the
first washing, his eldest son, who weighs
100 pounds less than Jones, senior,
found it an excellent fit. Two washings
more made the garment delightful for a
youth of nine, and at the end of the sea-
son the baby was adorned with the ha-
biliments, which had sbrunk just enough
to make them fit for child out of creep
ing clothes. This year Jones' wife uses
them as q dishcloth. Where all that
flannel has shrunk to Jones doesn't see.
and says he would willingly take his
whole family and his mother-in- n-law to a
lecture which would explain it, and pay
double price.

The Honey Bee.

There are some things in the history
of the honey bee which showsa fidelity
and devotion that is really touching.
There is something almost human in
their loyalty to their sovereigns. Several
instances are upon record where bees
watched over and guarded the remains
OF their queen for days, licking and
caressing her as though they were try
ing to restore her to life. Though food
was supplied they refused to eat, and at
the end of four days every bee was dead.
When queen makes royal progress
through the hive she is always attended
by body guard, not particular num-
hes of bees which are devoted to her
person, but body guard which forms
itself at her approach out of the subjects
through whom she is about to pass, but
who fall back into their regular work
when she has gone by. She never lacks
the most dutiful and devoted attention !;
those about her, whenever she moves,
caress her, offer her honey, and cluster
around her to keep her warm if she is
chill.
When swarm loses a queen, they are
at first in deep and violent grief if q
new queen is Immediately given to them,
they refuse to accept her. If, however,
twenty-four hours is allowed to elapse,
they reconcile themselves to the idea of
her loss, and receive a substitute with
royal honors.
The instinct of the bees denies all our
traditions of instinct, it adapts itself to
circumstances, overcomes lew and un-
expected obstacles, benefits by expe-
rience, employs temporary expedients,
and then casts them aside when the occa-
sion for their use is gone, in a way
which is marvelously like reason. 1t is,
indeed, difficult to draw any line be-
tween the two qualities when looked at
in minute detail it is only in its cumu-
lative power, which produces such differ
ent effects, that we can dare to make the
distinction, and then we are at loss for
definition. It is strange to find in the
insect world, among an order of beings
so low in the scale of the naturalist, a
faculty SO near akin to the divine gift OF
reason which is mans crowning glory.
But it il just here among the bees and
among the ants that it is most marvellous
and most perfect. .-iScientifc american.

Wants to Know.

A correspondent writes to ask how he
shall cure himself of the practice of to-
bacco chewing. A man who hasn't
nerve enough to break off this disgust
ing habit by the mere exertion of his
own will, might about as well tie an
anvil around his neck .and throw him
self into the nearest river. This is
shorter road to the same end.
A Missouri editor writes oask wheth-
er he shouldsay "editor " or g editress"

The Centennial Exposition has proved
a sad disappointment to the proprietors
of hotels, restaurants, eating houses and
saloons outside the Exhibition grounds.
The large hotels in the immediate vicin-
ity have great many vacant rooms, and
the desolate or half occupied buildings
for long distances in every direction
with the sign 'To Rent" or "For Sale, +"
are the evidences of disappointed hopes.
Most of these proprietors will lose their
investments, and many of them go into
bankruptcy. They evidently misappre-
