The Doctrine of Chances.
fPopular Science Monthly.1

II is an indubitable result OF the theory
OF probabilities that every gambler, II be
continues long enough, must ultimately be
ruined. Suppose he tries the martingale,
which some believe infallible, and which is,
as / am informed, disallowed in the gam
blipg-bouses. In this method Of playing he
first bets say 81 !; II he loses it, he bets 81;
IL he loses TINT, he bets 81; II he loses that,
he best IS; IL he then gains, he has lost l
Plus plus equal 7, and he has gained 81
more; aud 10 matter how many bets he
loses, the first one he gains will! make him
81 richer than he was in the beginning.
In that way he will probably gain at first;
but at last the time will come when the run
of luck is SO against him that he will not
have money enough to double, and must
therefore let his bet go. This will probably
happ- n before he has won as much as he
had in the first place, SO that this run against
him will leave him poorer than he began;
sometime or other it will be sure to hap
pen. It is true that there is always posi-
bility OF his winning any sum the bank can
nav. and we thus come upon n celebrated
paradox that, though he is certain to be
ruined, the value OF his expectation, cal
culated according to the usual rules
(which omit this consideration is large.
But. whether gambler plays in this
way or any other, the same thing
is true-namely, that il he plays
long enough he will be sure some time
to have such run against him Us to exhaust
his entire fortune. The same thing is true
OF an insurance company. Let the dlrec-
tors take the utmost pains to be indepen-
dent Of great confagrations and pestilences,
their actuaries can tell them that according
to the doctrine OF chances the time must
come at last when their losses will bring
them to a stop. They may tide over such a
crisis by extraordinary means, but then
they will start again in weakened
state, and the same thing will happen all
the sooner. An actuary might be inclined
to deny this, because he knows that the eX-
pectations Of his company are large, or per-
hans (neglecting the interest on money! IS
INFINITE. But calculations OF expectations
leave out OF account the circumstances now
under consideration, which reverse the
whole thing. However, must not be un-
derstood rs saying that insurance is on this
account nnsound more than other kinds OF
business. All human affairs rest upon pro-
liabilities, and the same thing is true every
where. III man were immortal he could be
perfectly sure OF seeing the day when every
thing be had trusted in should betray his
trust, and, in short, OF coming eventually
to hopeless misery. he would break down
at last, as every great fortune, as every dy-
mast, as every civilization, does. In the
place OF this We have death.

~slderatlon at this time, whether
this evil, which legislation ha,
proved utterly powerless to cope
with, cannot be at least i'm some
measure remedied by concert of ac-
ton amongst the farmers.
There seems to be no good reason
why farmers should not be able by
cooperative agencies to protect
themselves from extortion and
plumber as etfectually as laborers
and artisans.
Factory operators IN Great Bri-
tam have formed themselves into
JOINT stock companies with shares
OF moderate amo1nt; and have
Tor d long time, and with great
success carried on c~o-operatlye
stores from which they draw their
family supplies at fair prices, and
realize the profit upon their own
custom IN the shape of handsome
dividends. Following out the
same idea, 1t would seem practical
bic for the farmers Of a neighbour
hood to start "a cooperative ware
house with sufficient capital to
make advances upon produce de-
posted IN pledge, which would
give the farmer the benefit Of the
