Iron Works, the well-known gun factory,
has suspended operations on account OF the
inability to pay its workmen. The shut

tions being exhausted the resources of the

ditioned mortal loves "The Play" Never tell me that it's. mission is to educate. There is too much of education, heaven knowsl It is much higher; it is to entertain. It is to relax the overtried nerves; it is to purify the world-mixed spirit; it is to get rid of that dreadful thing, the real, for brief breath of the ideal; to let you know, even when deal
 ing most with the kind of drama most called realistic, that for short hour or two of the strange mystery called life the stories to which you listen do not happen; the sorrows even which touch you are not true It is never possible to tonor the play too highly. For since first Thespis started the business in go-cart never has Gods infinite and va- ried mercy provided a more delightful outlet for the cares, the yearnings, the troubles of mankind. It was London manager, @ man of a kind heart under rough outside, who told me once that his theater was charity. For his sixpenny gallery meant this. It's tenants understood, he thought, not over much of what they saw and heard, and cared perhaps little less. But the same tenants came night after night. That sixpence meant for them three hours of light and warmth-of forgetfulness-and of home-to men whose home may be offered but little of the attractions connected to luckier people with that sacred name. I say luck-if luck there be-the which doubt. But by many different names we men call the same thing. One evening this manager told me an excel lent old woman came up the stairs of his theater-not thousand miles from the Strapd-and presented an order of admis- sion to the upper boxes for Exeter Hall With presence of mind and a sense of hu- nor for which I infinitely honor him the act ing manager at once accepted the order. Certainly, madam" he said. "Show the lady and her friend two good seats up stairs. :" They were shown up stairs and sat it out On her way down the dear old lady insisted on seeing that acting manager and shaking hands with him. ''Thank you, my dear sir," she said; "l have spent an exceedingly pleas ant evening"" Exeter Hall to. her was from that time 8 joy forever. The performance had been burlesque.

Gam bIerss Luck.

Proctor III Longman s Magazine.
 Let us consider the general idea which most men have respecting what they call luck. We shall find that what they regard affording clear evidence that there is such a thing as lack is in reality the result of law. Nay, they adopt such combination of ideas about events that seem fortuitous that the kind of evidence they obtain must have been obtained, let events fall as they may. Let us consider the ideas of men about luck in gambling, as typifying in small the ideas of nearly all men about luck in life. In the first place gamblers recognize some men as always lucky. I do not mean of course that they suppose some men always win, but that some men never have spells of bad luck. They are always "in the vein," to use the phraseology of gamblers like Steinmetz and others, who imagine that they have reduced their wild and wandering notions about luck into 0 science. Next gamblers recognize those who start on a gambling career with singular good luck, retaining that luck long enough to trust in it confidently and then losing it once for all, remaining thereafter constantly unlucky. Thirdly gamblers re- gard the great bulk of their community as men of varying luck-sometimes Sin the vein" sometimes not-men who, if they are to be successful, must, according to the su- perstitions of the gambling world, be most careful to watch the progress of events. These, according to Steinmetz, the great au thority on all such questions (probably be- cause of the earnestness of his belief in gambling superstitions), may gamble or not, according as they are ready or not to obey the dictates of gambling prudence. When they are in the vein they should gamble steadily on, but so soon as ''the maturity of the chances" brings with it change of luck they must withdraw. If they will not do this they are likely to join the crew of the unlucky. Fourthly, there are those, accord ing to the ideas of gamblers, who are pur- sued by constant i'll luck. They are never Gin the vein." If they win during the first half of an evening they lose more during the latter half. But usually they lose all the time. Fifthly, gamblers recognize class who, having begun unfortunately, have had a change of luck later and have become mem bers of the lucky fraternity. This change they usually ascribe to some action or event which, to the less brilliant imaginations of outsiders, would seem to have nothing what ever to do with the gamblers luck. For in- stance, the luck changed when the man mar ried, his wife being 8 shrew; or because he took to wearing white waistcoats
