Careless About Chips.
From the New York World. !


A few years ago a well known gentle
man, who is a broker in the stock
board, had a small roulette table in
his house, which was one OF the por-
table Kind, and many a game was
played uponit. They played for small
stakes, more for amusement than
gain. But one night the table was
finally closed in that house, and it was
sold the next day. The gentleman
gave large dinner party at his house
one evening, and after dinner some
body suggested that the roulette table
be brought into the parlor. 1t was
brought in, and a merry party of
ladies and gentlemen sat down 10 the
game. The chips were five cents each,
and the play was reckless and without
limit. The host acted as banker and
spun the ball. Everybody was so en-
crossed by the game that it was very
late when they departed for home
ReckOnings were not made until the
next day, the husbands, of course,
meeting the obligation of their wives
and receiving the money for theirchips
il they had any. The gentleman who
gave the dinner drove up town the

you?" His host said he had not.
well" he replied, Il owe you just
80, 200, and will send you a check for
the amount tomorrow" 1t seemed
so preposterous to the gentleman who
owned the roulette table that they fig
ured together the number of chips he
had sold him, and the result OF their
joint count was as stated. Payment
was rendered the next day, but was
refused. A slight GOODNESS existed be-
tween them for some weeks afterward,
because, while the gentleman who lost
commanded his friend to accept his
check for 81, 200, the other positively
refused to do so. However, they are
again on good terms, and the portable
roulette table is their worst enemy.

The Legend ofthe BAD Lands

Those who have heard anything OF
he Northwest have heard of the Bad
Lands OF Dakota, those marvellous
volcanic eruptiOns OF a beauty and
interest even surprising that of the
Yellowstone country. 1t was the
early French trappers who gave to the
chaos OF geological strata thrown up
by the mighty forces OF nature the
name OF ''Mauvaises terres" and this
the American has freely translated
into Bad Land" a name they do not
deserve for they are fertile as we'll as
picturesque. There is a legend OF the
Bad Lands told by Red Bird an
old chief of the Mandan Indians,
whose tribe, it is said, afterward lived
among the pile of wonderful
buttes, which has been handed
down from chief to chief, un-
til we find it to-day part of the
unwritten history OF this once power
ful and great nation.
Many hundred years ago what is
now the Bad Lands was a high
plain or table land, covered with rich
pastures and forests abOunding in all
kinds of game. They were the favor
lite hunting grounds OF all the tribes
who annually came to participate in
the chase and procure the winter SUP
ply OF meat-the calumet grounds,
where all could meet in common and
the bloody hatchet was buried, where
all nations Of red men could meet with
no enemy to mOlest them or to make
them afraid But finally a fierce
mountain tribe OF many thousand
took possession OF these famed hunt
ing grounds, driving and keeping all
other people out. Many futile at
tempts were made to disIodge them
without avail. Many lives being lost
IN the numerous battles for their re
coyeFy5 a great council of all the tribes
on the plains was called and their
medicine men ordered to invoke the
Great Spirit in their behalf After
fasting many days and suffering self
inflicted tOrtures, as directed by the
medicine men, the Great Spirit heard
their cry and shook the earth with his
wrath. The earth became darkened
smoke and fire belched forth from the
ground, vivid lightning flashed and ter
rible thunder rolled. the mountains
sank and the valleys upheayed to the
sky. The earth rose and fell like the
heaving OF storm-tossed ocean.
burying all in one common grave.
Towering buttes and desolation
marked the spot where once stood
the fertile plains. Not one buck,
squaw or papoose was left to tell the
tale OF the naughty tribe ofthemount-
aims who once incurred the anger OF
the Great Spirit, leaving these Bad
Lands a monument OF his wrath

HindOo Law.

From the London Times.
A judgment was delivered in the
high court OF Bombay on the 10th OF
April, after a trial of fourteen days,
which deserves more than local noto-
rlety. The Times OF India says it is
''the most important case that has
been tried in Western India for many
years" The claim was by son of a
Hindoo millionaire, Sir Munguldass
Nuthoobhoy, and he demanded from
his father a partition of all the family
property and an equal share. The
father refused the partition and the
son appealed to the high court. The
Judge who tried the case, Mr.. Justice
Scott, following decisions of the priyy
council, ruled that q son who was a
member OF a HindOO Joint family had
an equal right with the father and an
equal share in the family property,
and could claim partition against the
fathers will at any time after MAORI
ty. The Judge pointed out that such
a claim was reprobated as immoral
by the ancient writer's, but still ad-
mitted as Just by those Of the highest
authority in Bombay. This seems an
astonishing decision to European
minds, but the authorities cited by the
learned Judge show its absolute legali-
ty in Hindoo law At the same time
1t has stuck CONSERVATION through the
wealthy families OF Western India.
The rule, no doubt, is a survival of the
primitive idea that the family is an
aggregate or collective unit, of which
al members have an equal interest in
the common property. As the learn
ed Judge pointed out, the current OF
authority tends to overthrow parent
al authority and to effect a painful
revolution in the family system
throughout Western India. 1t was al
so decided in the case that property
that was not family or ancestral prop
erty, but seIf-acqUired, could be de
vised by will by a father to his son,
and that heproperty retained its self
acquired character in the hands of the
son. This will considerably diminish
the danger that might arise from an
unrestrained exercise OF the right now
fully declared. The case has been for
long time the subject OF much dis
cussiOn and great anxiety in all native
circles, and, although experts in Hin
doc law agree in the strict legality OF
the decision, there Is a general opinion
that the altered conditions of Hindoo
society render legislation necessary on
the subject, in spite Of the extended ef-
feet now given to the exercise of the
teStamentary power.

Alarming Condition of Affairs in the

A Dutch Laborer's Dwelling.

TCor, Chicago Inter-0cean.
In every town OF any Importance in
Holland are to be found blocks OF
buildings orrows OF buildings expressly
constructed for the working classes.
On observing a street one may remark
here and there a passage about a yard
wide. Entering this passage and you
find yourself between a double range
OF little coquettish brick houses, with
a garden divided off by hedges, or by
palisades slightly raised and a number
of little pieces OF ground three or four
PAGES square each belonging to the
house which faces it. This is invalua-
BILE to the Dutchman. 1t not only
serves as a drying-place for the family
clothes, but as a place to dry and
sweeten the pots and kitchen utensils
which are secured increasingly and
which constitute the pride OF the Dutch
household. Enter one of these houses
and YOU find yourself in the middle OF
a room about fifteen feet square, hav-
ing a front window, the corner 2 fire

ticient for warming and cooking puT-

is the bedchamber of the father and
mother of the family. The ground is
generally foored but not always; the
walls, eight or nine feet high, are whit
ened where thetenant has not papered
them. The furniture Of the apart
ment is generally sufficient and well
kept. There is no back door. In one
corner OF the room, a straight, steep
staircase leads to the higher room,
where the younger members OF the
family sleep. An Air of order and
cleanliness reigns all over the house
and witnesses that care and cleanliness
are considered to be the first of do
mestic virtues.

Immediately white perpendicular

ing rain accompanied the tornado.
The almost total darkness that hung
overhead like a pail, during the one
minute the whirlwind ragged made the
scene extremely weird. The Etna
House Block was denuded OF its
twenty immense chimneys. The heavy
slate roof was next lifted, and in fall
ing struck out of plumb, scattering
plaster and debris through the hotel
and soaring the inmates out of their
senses. The Marvin and Beebe's
