legislators who had a penchant for gam

game of "vingt-et-un, himself acting
as Banker and dealer. and as matter of
course winning more frequently than
any OF the other players. On one occa-
sion, after much drinking and late sit
ting at the gambling table, Baldwin
found himself in possession not only Of
all the money of his companions, but OF
many of their watches. In the morning
the House of Representatives was found
to be without quorum but Baldwin,
accustomed to heavy drinking and late
hours, was in his place back of the
Speakers desk. Rapping savagely with
his gavel, he demanded the roll-call of
the House, and then sent the Sergeant
alarms out with orders to bring IN the
delinquent members. After an hour or
so that functionary returned followed by
about dozen members of the Ohio Leg
islature, whose blood-shot eyes, suffused
faces, unsteady. stumbling steps, and
general air of shamefacedness indicated
the late hours they had kept, and their
heavy indulgences. With much austeri-
ty of manner, Baldwin reprimanded the
tardy members, reminded them of the
cost to which the infant State was SUI
jected by payment of their per diems.
and was proceeding to FARTHER elaboratehls
censure on the late arrival and the con-
sequent delay of Legislation, when one

Pink Finger-NaiIS.

A New York letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer says: "When my time came
[ sat in a row with five other ladies, all
in the easiest of arm-chairs, and with
damask napkins in our laps. Finger
bowls of stained glass on plates of
painted French china, filled with tepid
water perfumed and containing an acid
to soften the skin, were given us, and
solemnly we sat and soaked our fingers
for fifteen minutes. At the end of that
time an operator on a low stool seated
herself before me, dried one hand, posed
it on pink satin cushion, and with a
fine steel Instrument quickly scraped
away all the soft skin round the nail
then she filed it into point at the top
and clipped the sides with sharp scissors,
then she rubbed a red salve, called
rosaline. over it, wiped it off and pro-
ceeded to polish with the diamond pow
der, using the palm of her hand, until
the nail fairly glittered, and finally
warm water, CASTLE soap and a soft
brush left it clean, smooth and shining
The process was repeated on every finger,
and in half an hour, for the sum of 81. 80,
was finished, and the result was ten
pink and brilliant weapons of defense so
sharp and pointed as to suggest the ad-
vantages of peace. The fashion of wear
ing these long and pointed nails has be-
come so exaggerated that it necessitates
long-fngered gloves and extreme care
to prevent them from breaking off. "

The Race for Riches.

Let us look into another corner Of
this luxuriant age and note how vastly
out of proportion has become the de-
sire to amass riches. Industry and lib
erty and the unparalleled opportunities
of the continent and mental growth are
facts which meet in this land and pc
riod; but the love Of money has out
grown It's noble companions, and once
more the human nature is becoming de
formed. The passion for gain is tram
ping to death, with many, the passion
for learning, and contentment, and
friendship, and peace, and goodness,
and usefulness. Young men turn back
from schools or colleges that they may
hasten to make fortunes; books Of lit
erature are closed, conversation is aban-
doned, home is postponed, maria e
disposed, reflection and peace forgotten
that all the power of mind and body
may be given to the race for riches.
Thus falls or soon will fall the possible
harmony of mankind. Thus will new
deformity begin to spread itself over
that soul which came to the earth in
the likeness of God. - Prof. Daalid
SlCi1lO.

A Base Conspiracy Defeated.

A close guess WIS made in Hartford
saloon. In one partition of money
drawer was a large number of pennies.
Among the frequenters of the place was
man who was always ready to make a
bet. It occurred to the proprietor of
the place, who had been taken in a good
many times by the betting man, to lay
for h;sn. He took a friend into his
confidence, and the pair made up their
minds TO beat the fellow with the con-
tents of the money-drawer. So they
counted the pennies and found there
were Just 625 of them. Then they laid
low for their opportunity.
That evening the betting man was on
hand, and In manner not to excite
suspicion the saloon-keeper said to his
friend: Il wonder how many pennies
there are in this drawer?"
Tie betting chap pricked up his ears
and remarked: "Let each of us put up
IS, and the one who comes nearest to
the number shall take the pot"
This was agreed to, and the saloon
keeper marked 624, his friend 625, and
the fellow who was really ignorant of
the number, and whom they expected
to trap, by the merest chance put his
figures at 625. The establishment of
the two sharpers was no greater than
the wonder of the other at such remark
ably sharp guessing. After this the
betting man was boss of the saloon.-

up Fifth avenue, the young man pointed
out this and that residence as belonging to
Mr.. So-and-so, although it was the first
time he was ever on the street.
"Those people must be awful rich,
sighed the girl at last.
''Yaas, rather comfortable off,"
"What do you suppose they work at?"
sob, they are all SPECTATORS"
'Why don't you speculate?" she timidly
inquired.
''Cause we haven't any opportunities in
our town." he promptly answered. "Here
in New York there is fortune teller on
every corner, and a woman who dreams
about stocks and wheat and oats in the
middle of the block, and it's no wonder
these fellers heap up the money. I could
do the same thing if we had some one in
our town who was born under the dOg-star
and nursed on the milky-way"

The Isle Of Content,

A speck in the ocean only is Pitcairn
island, or the elsie of Content" as it
is aptl y called. Although only six miles
in circumference, it is inhabited by
ninety-six of the happiest persons III the
world The island is situated in q de-
lightful climate about 3, 600 miles west
of the northern coast of South America.
All the tropical fruits grow there in
abundance. The inhabitants form an
English colony, and live a simple, happy
life, undisturbed by the strife of the
world around them. Money is practi-
cally unknown to them. The one mag
istrate on the island has a sinecure, for
there are no disputes, and lawlessness is
unknown. Each man has his own house
and land. The life is communistic, in a
way, for all are socially equal, and share
their goods with each other when one
becomes needy. Shoes are seldom worn
by the women. The children, when
only few years old, learn how to swim.
and tumble around in the breakers with
out fear of danger. The people are
religious, and worship in little church
some one of their number reading tie
service of the Church of England and
preaching every Sunday. They are
jealous in succoring shipwrecked sail
ors, and seem, on the whole, to lead al
ideal life of quiet and contentment.
