! knowledge that he
| had come into fortune spread over London
| in hours and over half the British empire in
| a week, and the harpies came down on MIN
! in such numbers that, as he naively states,
IF it had not been for some interested
| friends who kept them Off" they would
have invaded his bedchamber
| The interested friends made him pay for
| their kindness. Here are few of the sums
(reduced to dollars he lost in various gam
bling experiences: $50, 600 on one set of horses
In Australia and 100000 during the races
there, $50, 900 at the Goodwood races, $4,000
on StaniSlauS, $40, 900 in "a few games while
waiting for the train $50, 900 on Carlton,
So, 200 on the Isle Of Wight racing circuit,
$4,000 on Bendigo for the Jubilee cup,
$4,000 on Anarch, S., 900 each on three racers
at Ascot, $135, eco in one night at cards, and
$3.50, 900 in two weeks of the Goodwood races.
Isn't this enough to make poor mans eyes
''bug out?"
Sometimes, however, he won; and as he
never did the thing by halves his winnings
were enormous. At the Liverpool races he
won $50, 600, and anywhere from 5000 to
So, 900 at various other places. At the Hard
wicke stakes he won $50, 900 on Ormonde and
an equal amount on the Northumberland cir
cult. On his second trial at Liverpool he
won $50, 600, then lost it all and $40 900 more
At the Jubilee races ION the date of the
queens jubilee, he put 900 ON one horse
and won, which gave him world wide fame
as the Jubilee Plunger." In one of his
lucid moments he bought small annuity,
and this is all he had to live upon after losing
his last dollar.
The family history is equally curious. His
father was Hebrew with an unpronounc-
able name, who married an English girl and
took her name--Benzon. He had already
made fortune in 1855 when ladies began to
wear crinoline he somehow obtained COM

Benzon was the child of his old age, and was
reared more like girl in a French nunnery
than a healthy English boy. His foster sister
has all her 81, $50, 900 and some accommodations
Of interest.
Ernest's guardians continued the absurd
system of his parents. The latter both died
when he was a child, and he was twenty years
old before he discovered that he was heir to

Just as Glad to See an Actor.

Gen. Custer, Lawrence Barrett and Stuart Robson went over to Brooklyn years ago to hear MT. Beecher preach After the sermon the three went around to the house of friend where Mir. Beecher was to come immediately after church. They were seated in the parlor chatting as the great preacher came in. The names had been given to him in the hall. As soon as he reached the thres- hold of the parlor door he said, "Mr. Robson!" The actor went over and ex- tended his hand.
 'Iam delighted to see you, delighted to see you. But you are much younger looking man than expected to find."
 "Oh, am 45 years at least, MT. Beech CT" replied Robson.
 q shouldn't think it, sir; I shouldn't think it. You are very young man to be secretary of the navy"
 T am not Mr. Robson, the secretary of the navy, but Mir. Robson, the actor. :"
 "Oh, it makes no difference" said MT. Beecher, "I am glad to see you notwith- standing my mistake"
 But he lost no time in turning from him to pay court to Gen. Custer. AS he had made mistake on the political end he made up for it by paying court to the military hero until the discussion became general. New York Star.

He Didn't Pronounce It That Way.

An old fellow from the country, who has plenty of money invested, some of it in an uptown hotel of the family sort, was approached on the first day of open ing it by natty young man with de- bonair smile.
 Have you any rooms en suite?" he asked
 Any what:" inquired the new land lord
 Rooms en suite."
 "See here, young man, how many of them are your" asked the granger.
 ''Just me and Mamie-I mean my wife. We've haven't been married long. She sent me around to see if you had any suites"
 "Well, you go home and tell her to come right along. We've got plenty of rooms, and when you and she are in them they'll be too sweet for anything. If we haven't got rooms in sweets we'll have sweets in rooms. Come again, young feller. New York News.

nsfect in Educa,iona, System.

Perhaps the most serious defect of the system of liberal education now preva- lent in the United States is its lack of truly progressive character. It is full of fits and starts. It is too disjointed and fragmentary This is partly because there are no settled principles of pro cedure, fixing the order and amounts of the studies; and partly because there is no power which can secure teachers that know precisely what they are expected, fitted and permitted to teach. The con sequence is that the different years of school life too much resemble the differ ent successive sessions of our legisla- lures. Milton somewhere describes the process of legislation as matching a lie with the heat of jurisdiction" Forum ately, the process also consists in killing the brood of lies already matched by pre- vious legislation. Now the process of education in this country is by no means so bad in this regard as the process of legislation; but in certain respects the former too much resembles the latter.- Professor George Trumbull Ladd, of Yale college, in Scribner.

TennySon.

A poet should never grow old-or he should not let it be known. There might be a secret league among the kinsfolk of poets to prevent the discovery of the date of their birth. Aged philosophers seem in the natural order of things, but the man thatswrites of youth, love and the fair face of nature, or the passions which rarely exist beyond middle age, should never grow old. Lord Tennyson at 80 does not seem as if he could be the poet, Alfred Tennyson, but the fact that he was born on Aug. 6, 1909, is being proclaimed by all the papers. The New York Times says: "In combined length and distinction there is in English litera- ture no contemporary or recent parallel to Tennyson's career. "-Pittsburg Bull letiu

 Thoroughly blow and pulverize the ground about eighteen or twenty-four inches deep, and on steep hill sides even deeper. Then lay off the ground on gen. tie slopes for strong growing varieties as the Concord and Ives feet by s, and on steep hill sides and for slow growing va rieties as the Delaware and Jessica feet by and set short stakes for each vine. Procure good strong, well rooted 1-year- old vines, shorten in their roots to about 12 inches long, dip them in water and keep moist Now let one person go in advance and dig out the holes for plant ing, about IS inches long. l2 wide and 1e deep on the lower side of the stakes, and close to them without removing them. If the ground is level always open the hole on the same side of the stake and with the rows.
 Let another person follow immediately after with the damp vines, and plant them in the fresh soil by spreading out all the roots regularly on the same side from the stakes, then fill in good strong soil amongst the roots and pack it tight, by gently tramping the earth if not too moist When finished, the stem should be close to the stake with two buds above the ground, as may be seen in Fig. l. If the work is done in the fall, which Is the best time for planting in some sections, mound up the earth over the top of the vines and remove it early in the spring before the buds start. Stakes should now be procured about five feet long and about one inch and half in diam eter, which will do to train the vines on the first two years.
 If your vines are strong train uD two canes the first yecr (tie with willow straw, etc., cut up in suitable length) Your vines will grow more stocky than 1 if one cane only had been trained up Keep the ground cultivated and clear of weeds, You may, however, plant ] between the rows stft-vberrie-7---.-,...... toes, turnips and light hood crops. ] Raise no layers from your vines, as they I weaken your plant, except to replace a missing vine close by. In the first fall after planting the vines will appear as in Fig with two canes. You may prune them in fall or spring to two spurs of two buds each.
 The second year train up four canes from the two spurs as shown in Fig. 3. If we were to train up but two canes as generally recommended they would grow about ten or twelve feet long, and con- centrate too much growth on the top of the vine, which would have to be cut away. But if we train four canes they will each be shorter and shorter jointed consequently there wi;e more strength concentrated in the roots, stock and spurs.
 Whatever gives an undue length of growth without corresponding stocki- ness adds succulence to the growth of both roots and stock. This may be veri- fled by the long slender plants, being de- ficient in strength and hardness as the leaves are thinner and thrown farther apart. This is very important princi- pie in grape training.

,1an's Condition and Dependence.

As to his inventions, there is no crea- ture more dependent than man. In every single thing we attempt there is cer- tain degree of imperfection which hin- ders its accomplishment. Our powers are not sufficient to attain the perfection we desire. Man is ever falling" it has been said, and God is ever raising him up again. Man is always on the point of being overcome, and God is always succoring and defending him. Man tills the land, sows the grain; but he cannot give the sun the next day, nor the rain; he cannot regulate the number of insects which may be useful or injurious to cuI-e tivation. You may pursue the most eff cacious and most able methods, either in commerce, industry, politics, When you have done everything, there will always remain something else to be done; there will still be some element lacking over which you have no power, without which the circle cannot be closed, or perfect result obtained. Unbelief acknowledges this, and calls it chance. Religion ac- knowledges it and calls 1t Providence,- Padre AgOstino.
