fortune. Every large city where the turf
is patronized, and which has its annual
fall and spring meetings, has such an ele-
ment in its population, and at every run
ming meeting in st. Louis its presence is
demonstrated here in a palpable and un-
mistakable way. The poolroom is but one
OF the places where it maniiests itself, and
that, after all, is not place where its real
character is displayed or where its poverty
and desperation assert themselves. There
the gamester displays only that side OF
his character which hc snpposes, and
which is popularity supposed, to belong to
the patron OF sport. He makes his bets
with a reckless abandon which savors OF
wealth, and takes his losses with an al
iected Indifference which is intended to
pass for gamblers philosophy. II is only
at the pawnbroker's counter that he drops
the mask and reveals the face furrowed
with the lines OF care and often plnched
and haggard with those Of want"
These are not arguments against horse
racing. The Memphis Jockey Club meet
ings have found no warmer or more liberal
support from any quarter than THE Ar
PEAL. There has been no question as TO
the legality OF selling pools or making
books on the local races, or on those run
in the State under the proper restrictions
provided. 1t is against the continuance OF
the gambling on those outside, clearly in
violation OF the general law OF the State.
But, as the writer quoted puts it, "the
greatest vice OF all modern sport is the
gambling which seems to have become an
inseparable part OF it. The ancients were
comparatively free from the mania oil gam
bling on the results OF athletic contests OF
the trials OF strength and skill which were
the distinguishing features OF their great
anniversaries and fete days. There is no
record OF poolroom run in connection
with the Olympian games OF the Greeks,
or OF bookmaking in connection with the
gladiatorial combats in the Roman arena.
Although gambling in various forms is
nearly as old as humanity itself, it found
its field OF action in gamesof chance played
with cards or other implements represent
ing numbers or quantities until within q
comparatively recent period. Tho strug-
gle 10 eliminate the element OF chance oil
luck from all games OF hazard, and to sub
stitute therefor the judgment or knowledge
OF the individual player, led to the ex.
tension OF gambling operations TO field
sports and all manner OF tests OF strength,
skill and endurance which have been de-
veloped within the last century, particularly
among the Anglo-SaXons."

Consolidated in the trial, the insurance
companies were represented by Messrs.
Metcali d Walker, Turloy q Wright and
TAYLOR d Carroll. The drug company's in-
icrests were looked after by Messrs. CAN'T
4 Patterson. With slight interruptions the
yial occupied the remainder Of the week,
Including two or three night sessions Of
the court. While the local insurance com.
.pnies liable under tho same loss were not
directly interested in the case, because OF
lack o. jurisdiction Of the Federal Court,
they hold themselves bound under the re-
suit. There arc other foreign insurance
companies having policies on the Mans

solidated with those named in the trial.
Most of them are represented by Graft x
Craft and II. i. Dix. These hold that, not
being pooled with tho others in the at

carried on in which arbitration was waived
did not affect them. On that difference,

day, the close OF the night so full OF
horrible experiences to me- He had
awakened, weak and burning with
thirst Rising up, he beheld not q
dozen yards away my head and
shoulders protruding from the mouth
of monster boa, whose scaly body
lay in serpentine lengths among the
debris OF decay ing forest fungus.
Taking it for granted that was
dead, and chilled with terro-. he ut
tered the Mortified cry which / had
dimly heard, and rushed away to camp
Being an expert woodman, he had no
difficulty in finding his way. The In
dians had about given US up for lost
They had searched for US, but had
never happened TO visit the right place
Two were searching when he reached
the camp. Trembling with weakness
and terror, he told the Indians ths
fate that had befallen US.
Returning with axes and crocodile
spears the party attacked the boa,
chopping him completely in two just
below the bulge in his body caused by
my feet and legs, before he could es-
cape. At the first blow of the axe the
monster made spasmodic efforts to dis
gorge in order to attack his assailants-
he tried hard 10 escape, but the axes
were skillfully applied, and he was
rendered powerless.
The severed head and neck had TO
be slit open before could be released.
At first they thought / was dead, but
were soon rejoiced at discovering a
+. lingering spark OF life. Carrying me
to the camp, resuscitative remedies
were applied, and / was, as you have
seen, finally brought around.
In few days my health was re-
stored sufficiently to start on our re-
turn journey down the river, but my
own mother would have failed 10 rec
ognize me. My hair, which was
dark brown when Murilla and / sat
down to eat our lunch of hardtack
aud venison, was now as white as the
scant locks of an old man OF ninety
as white as you see it now. My
nervous system had received a shock
that left me a victim OF nightmares
and nervous fears and tremors for
years afte-ward. But naturally iron
constitution finally over-rode the ef-
fects Of my terrible experience and
left me in possession of my usual ex-
cellent health. - Boston Commercial

The Degree to which They Are Disfn.

1t has long been a cherished theory,
at least of smokers, that the fumes of
tobacco were To a certain degree dis
injecting in their action. To put this
theory to test, DR.. Vincenzo Tessa-
rini. of the University of Pisa, has re-
Gently conducted an investigation into
the action of tobacco smoke upon
heterogeneous. He devised an ap-
paratus consisting OF two tunnels
placed with their mouths opposed, and
scaled with parafine. To each small
end of the tunnels tubes were attached.
suitably arranged so that cigar could
be placed in one end, while the bac-
THEOLOGICAL smoker inspired at the
other The smoke was thus drawn
into the large space made by the fun
nels, in which was plate with various
cultures of micro-organisms; control
cultures were also used. The microbes
were subjected to the smoke for from
thirty to thirty-five minutes, during
which time from three and a half to
four and half grams of tobacco were
used. The micro-organisms tested
were the spirillum cholera Asiatice.
spirillum Finkler and Prior, bacillus
anthracis, bacillus typhi abdominalis.
bacillus pneumonia, staphylococcus
pyogeneus aureus, and bacillus pro-
digiosus. The kinds of tobacco used
were the large Virginia cigars, tho
large Cavour cigars, the small Cavour
cigars, the best cigarette tobacco.
The results show that tobacco-smoks
has the effect OF preventing the de-
velopment of some micro-organisms
entirely, and of retarding that OF
others. The Virginia cigars seemed
TO have the most powerful effect, while
cigarette-smoke had only rctarding
influence. and did not entirely check
the growth OF any form. BY first
drawing the tobacco-smoke through
water. it was found TO have lost its
