fpY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE announcement that
Secretary Folger has given notice to Albert Daggett
that his weighing contract will cease at the end OF
this month has caused much speculation as to
the reasons for the change. 1t Is
stated that Mr.. Daggett is now doing the
work for one-half the amount it formerly cost the
Government to do it. The lowest average reached
by the Government since 1872 was 26 cents per
ton, and that only in one year; the highest
average under the present contract has been
IA 910 cents per ton and this average has been OBJ
tanned upon double the amount Of work formerly
done. Ii is said that at the time the notice was
given, which was some weeks ago. the Secretary
had not fully decided To make the change but gave

The Monotonous Mercies of Life.

My life is SO petty, so small, so un-
inspiring, such tread-mill life some
one says. 81 could face great difficult
ties, / could be brave in tremendous
crises, but, Oh! these everlasting steps
in the tread-mill. How can / ever take
another?' is often the weary sigh of
the average man or woman. ''The bane
of woman life is washing dishes, :"
says recent bright writer. Well, there
is some such poison in every life. 1t
may not be washing dishes. It may be
keeping accounts. It may be selling
goods. It may be writing sermons. 1t
may be studying lessons. It is whatev-
er we have to do over and over and
over again, that which is never done,
but that which will seem just as end
less, and hopeless, and interminable a
task at the end of next week, as it
seemed at the end of last week. Not
that it is anything SO dreadful in itself,
but the constant repetition makes it
irksome, and because we cannot shift
the harness to the other side the CALLED
place becomes sorer and sorer. This is
not very heroic view to take of life. is
it? but it is the light in which it is seen
by thousands. and we need, every one
of us, some shield which will turn the
shafts of se,aas4t and hopelessness which
are born of the very monotony of our
lives. Here. it is. 49, .,.se..s.z-
and uneventful presentations and mer-
eies of life is a shield against the une-
ventful and monotonous troubles OF life.

having pretty good run. Jim Mo-,
"a policeman on that beat, dropped in
ono night to see how things were going.
He staked quarter and won, he con-
tinued to win until he had scooped in
&15O-aH the money in the bank The
dealer borrowed 800 from friend and
| started in again; Jim soon had this, and
the dealer borrowed another hundred
dollars, which Jim soon won. The
dealer was now broke, and the news
spreading that Jim Nc had broke
up monte bank on Commercial street,
created great excitement among the
gamblers until they learned that he had
done it, to them, the legitimate way, by
''bucking' it.
Another game, if it can be properly
called a game, is high ball, and is very
popular. The dealer is seated at long
table, around which the players are also
seated, sometimes to the number of
twenty. The dealer is provided with
kind of globe or urn, into which he puts
fifty small balls numbered from one to
fifty. Each player antes ten cents,
which entities him to draw a ball. The
dealer shakes the globe so as to mix the
balls, and then by means of operating
spring ut the bottom of it, takes out one
ball at time, and passes them to the
players until each has ball. Any play
er who thinks he has the ball having the
highest number can now bet any sum
he likes. All the players now have in
their turn chance to ''call'' the bet by
putting up like sum, or the bet may
be SCALED and raised" The betting is
generally confined to three or four play
ers, who have drawn high numbers, and
is sometimes quite heavy. Those who
draw small numbers and do not bet
forfeit their antes. When the betting is
concluded the balls are passed to the
dealer, who decides who wins, and re-
tanning ten per cent. for his trouble
passes the balance of the spot" to the
winner. The dealer is at no risk and
ordinarily makes from $50 to 800 in a
night. The players get interested in this
simple game and often spend the whole
night in playing it. Beside this, poker,
faro, keno and many other games are
publicly played. The owners of gam
bling houses make their business public
by advertisements in the newspapers
and by sign-boards in front of their
places of business, the same as other
business is advertised. The practice of
gambling does more to retard the
progress and prosperity of the West
than anything else, because SO many
squander their earnings at it, and form
habits of idleness and viciousness by
indulging in it.-Ioled0 Blade.

Gambling i'm Mexico.

Monte is the favorite game. 1t can
be played by any number of players.
The monte cards are of Spanish make,
and are very fine in quality; they are of
different design to our playing
cards, and forty-four of them
make a pack. After the dealer
has shuffied the cards, and they
have been cut by one of the players, the
% dealer, holding the deck face down.
ward, draws two cards from the bottom
of the pack; if these are unlike, for
instance, an ace and jack, they are
laid on the table and constitute clay
OUT Betting now begins. Anyone
who thinks the ace will win, LAYS his
money on it; the dealer again draws two
cards. If this time he should draw a
deuce and a seven spot, they being I'M
like the cards already drawn, make
another layout" and anyone may
place his money ON either. Say it is
placed on. the deuce. The bets all be-
ing arranged the dealer again draws
two cards; if in this draw Or any SUISSE
quent one, he draws an ace or a deuce
before a jack or a seven spot he pays
the bet otherwise he takes it in. The
person who bets. simply takes his
chances that the dealer will draw the
cards bet on before he does the one
opposed to it. In this game there is
large per centage in favor of the dealer,
but Notwithstanding this there are
s.. always plenty of players, who risk and
generally lose their money. 1t is
seldom that much of a winning is made

If our bent is bad one we should

Christian duty and privilege.
Character is higher than intellect.
A great soul will be strong to live as
wei as strong to think.-Emerson
Selfish people always think their
own discomfort of more Importance than
anything else in the world. George

The serene, silent beauty of holy
life is the most powerful influence in
the world, next to the might of the Spir-

Many in this world run after felic-

Charity, like the sun, brightens ev-

The most vital questions are not
whether what man calls his religion
has made him happy, has led him
through wonderful experiences OF JOY
or sorrow, has brought him into the
church, led him to be baptized, read
his Bible, and take part in prayer
meeting. These are important points,
but not sure tests. Has that which a
man calls his religion made him love
the Lord supremely and his neighbor as
HIMSELF Has it led him to see and
earnestly strive against selfshnessP
Has it prompted him to strive earnestly
to be thoroughly good, to put every
thought, desire, word and deed, in sub
lection to the law of love and right?
Has it made him better man at home,
in business and in social lifep These
are good points for self-examil. alton
and for church committees. Goldsn

The great bulk of our mercies, like

ripple in our placid lives; they are no
sooner past than they are forgotten.
Can we not set one over against the 9TH.

mercies of life as an armor against the
miseries of life? God has
something for thee to do, or He would
not keep the pestilence from thy dwell
ing. He has some purpose in thy life or
the hurricane and the flood would not
so long have spared thee. He has some
plan to work out through thee, Or the
placid current of thy daily mercies
would not have flowed on so smoothly.
Is not that reason enough to keep thee

wearisome tasks?-Golde,a Rule.
