The Gambling Clubs Of Paris

Clubs are quite a modern institution
in Paris. The Oldest is the Cercle de
rUnion, founded in 1923; then comes
the Jockey. founded in 1888, and the
Cercle Agricole. founded about the
same time. The Union is the most aris-
tocratic and exclusive of all the Paris
clubs. aud the only club where game
of cards is rarity. Out of the 800
members of this club 299 have titles,
VARYING from Royal Highness down to
Baron. The dinner is exquisite and
costs only seven francs without wine.
which. together with the wages of the
cook. implies for the club loss of some
$1,000 year. The entrance fee at the
Union is 800 and the annual subscrip-
ton $40. At the Jockey Club the num-
Der of members is about 790. of whom
about $50 are men of title; the entrance
fee is S2l0: annual subscription, 800;
dinner. seven francs without wine; rent
of rooms. 800. 1876; lighting. 1880; ser
vice, $4,000. Cercle Agricole, en-
trance. 800; subscription. 500. Cercle
de Ia Rue Royale. entrance, $40; sub
scription, $40; rent. $4,000. Cercle de
rUnion Aristique, entrance, $50; sub
scription. $50: rent. $4,000. These
G~ures may be taken as typical. The
rance fees and subscriptions of the
I..ris clubs are moderate. The dinner
vari = from seven to four francs. The
expenses are very heavy; the rent often
enormous (the Cercle du Champs
Elysees pays more than $4,000 year
rent). How. then. do the majority of
the clubs exist? Mainly by the profits
of gambling-by the cagnotte. do not
say that this is the case with every club
in Paris. but out of the sixty-four clubs
now existing You could not name more
than half dozen where the cagnotte is
not the nerve and sinew of the whole
institution. They are simply gambling
houses. where you are induced by a
certain amount of material comfort and
an excellent dinner to try all the other
facilities for running Yourself that the
place offers.-Pdris Cor. Philadelphia

Too Much Wheat.

The low price of Wheat which is ruling
at the present time is attributed BY
those who are best informed. to the vast
increase in the acreage planted through
out the world
The monopoly at one time enjoyed BY
the farmers of the Western and Middle
States in the foreign markets in this
cereal has been taken away from them
bv the development CT the Great North
west. the Improvement IL machinery for
milling Spring Wheat. and especially
by the stimulus given by England to her
colonies in raising Wheat. in order to
make herself independent of this country
and Russia.
Farmers should turn their attention
more to crops in which they have
special advantages. In this latitude the
lands are peculiarly adapted to Corn
cessful cultivation of the latter is smaller
than for Corn.
Castor Beans are only raised for COM
mercial PURPOSES in India and the
United States. and the farmer is pro-
tected BY heavy duty against the In
dia Bean, and the home demand for
several ye.rs has exceeded the supply.
The cultivation of the Castor Bean is
no more difficult-in fact, is about the
same as that of Corn. 1t is not ex-
hausting but fertilizing to the soil, and
for farmers situated some distance from
the railroads, the Bean is a much more
profitable crop, as more money is real
lied for one bushel of Beans than five
bushels of Corn. 1t may also be said
in its faver that the Bean will keep in a
dry place without injury for an indie
finite period-Farmers Friend, april,

A Soldiers RriRht idea.

One day soon after Pope's defeat at
second Bull Run and Chantilly, pri-
vate soldier belonging to an Ohio regi-
ment sought an interview with his Cap
tain. and announced that he had plan
for military campaign, which must
certainly result in crushing out the re-
bellion. The officer very naturally in
quired for particulars, but the soldier
refused to reveal them, and asked for a
chance to lay his plans before Pope
himself. After some delay he was given
a pass to headquarters. He did not get
to see Pope, but after the chief of staff
had coaxed and promised and threatened
for quarter of an hour the Buckeye
stood up and replied:
"Well. sir, my plan is for John Pope
and Bob Lee to swap commands. and ii
we don't lick the South inside of sixty
days You NAV shoot me for a patent hay
fork swindler!'
When he returned to camp he was
naturally asked what success he met
with. and he ruefully replied:
"Wall, they had plan of their own. y

"Why, they took me out and booted
