teenth century civilization. 1t Is
matter Of history that Callgula convert

which he fleeced the "young bloods"
Of the great Roman Empire in much
the same manner in which the youth
full nobility of Europe are fleeced to-
day In tho gaming halls Of the various
continental cities. The Chinese are
great card-players. They have num-

Ching-tsze-tung, Chinese encyclope-

invented In 1920 A. D. Cai ds In China

Wherever gambling was introduced
1t met Immediately with the popular ia
vor. In England, In the time OF king
John, throwing the dice was one Of the
principal diversions of the people.
Charles II. called out to his favorite,
Rochester "I'll bet my soul to an or

will bet odds will take them," coolly

told of man named Shelton, sort of
low prize fighter, who staked first his
money on a game of cards, lost it, and
then wagered his clothes, which were
also won by his opponent, who pro-
ceedcd to strip his adversary and lp-

honor. One Of the oldest baronets, in
England, having lost every cent Of his
fortune at faro, was obliged to drive a

John was almost hidden in flounccs and

plunged out of those costly pillows with

something in Laura's eyes that had never

bewitching shyness; bcwilderlng splendor
that stepped his soul in mad sweet hope.

day at No. rs East 18th street, as

A waste OF Life.

A hotel keeper past the middle age

had quite acute powers of observation
III regard to the physique of his guests,
was quite positive that there had been
developed of late better form of
womankind. l know Of no reason to
account for this Improvement, said he,
than by advancing the idea that wo-
men and girls are better fed. | miss
those STOPPING, wanfaced women and
girls of former times who had 10 STAN
ina. Once they We're il the majority.
Delicate hands and feet were, Of
course, to be found, but it was accom-
panied with dropping head, no breadth
Of chests and general debility. DO
not know if it arises SO much on &c
count of more exercise, but rather
from the fact that food, such as women
use, is better cooked and more plenti-
fully given to them than in the time
of our mothers and grandmothers.
There used to be an old fashioned
school which was founded on stinting.
II was unladylike for q girl to cat a
hearty meal. Our sisters used to be
half starved. Cravings for that solid
food which was absolutely necessary
for growing girls were satisfied with
cups Of tea or thin slices Of bread and
butter ON which little preserve had
been spread. Now, you may think
but little OF my experience, but sea
side resort is exactly the place where q
fair Judgment can be formed as to the
size, weight and general appearance Of
our women. am quite positive that
if you were able to weigh the women
end girls who are walking on this We
randa or on the sands, and had rec
ord Of the weights of their mothers at
to same age, there would be an in
cte4se to-day Of from 10 to Is per

to the personal appearance of our
women. You may say that I am an

have no better food as to quality, but
I believe that it is the preparation OF
it which has made the change. There
is no country in the world where the
necessity Of good, well-cooked food is
greater than in the United States.
The changes in our climate are terri
BILE, and the wear and tear on the hui
man frame is immense. Perhaps no
where else, in any great city Of the
world, is the stress on human brains
so great as in New York. 1t is niirac-
ulous to think how, SO years ago, men

The Social Tonic.

One most excellent way Of keeping
mind from growing rusty, in the midst
of daily drudgery, is to sometimes go
out from all sight and sound of il, if
only for one half hour. Now, fifty
women who read this, say instantly ::
Il cannot get away from it, my cares
tie me to my home" So the late pope
used to call himself "a prisoner in
Rome, and possibly in time, began to
believe it, as fully as his people did
all over the earth. Surely twenty-five
of the fifty women might go out if
they would not blind themselves to
their privileges, and would open their
eyes to see their opportunities. Little
children are the greatest home an
chors, but even here the older ones
may be taught to care of the little
ones, ora little one may be dressed
and taken along, to its great delight
and real advantage. When it is work
that binders, try and condense and Top
off execrcscences and to save time for
your own good. When brain, as well as
hands, seem overburdenedyou must get
time for rest and change, or you may
soon have more idle time than you
like. Said a working woman to me
one afternoon as she sat in my
house: "When l have been working
hard, as have to-day, nothing would
rest me so much as to dress and run
out for little call. The walk refresh
es, and the few minutes chat enlivens
my spirits SO that | go back feeling a
a great deal beal better" 1t is this
social medicine that many want, far
more than any drugs, to give tone and
cheer to the whole system. 1t is a
tonic easy to take, and may inpart a
like benefit to others as well as ones
self. -Ladys Jonradi.
