Don't Do 1t,

Don't confide in anyone if you can
help it, says the New York Evening
Sun. If you can't speak to someone
whose honor you have proved to be
above peddling stories of her friends
to enliven her conversation.
Remember she who tells tales of
other women will presently tell tales
of you, and supply as little material
as possible.
Don't receive confidence unless you
know your heart is deep enough,
your mind broad enough and your
brain sufficiently steady to keep it
honestly.
Don't be scrupulous about accept
ing the charge of your friends di-
almonds or her purse, while hesitating
not to drop hints of her inner life,
stories of her private history, which
were meant for your ear only, all
along your conversation with men
and women. Perhaps you think by
this means to lessen their regard for
her; but don't forget that you are
cheapening yourself at the same
time.
Do not feel there is no obligation
where no promise of silence has been
exacted. An implied confidence is
ever most binding to the upright
soul.
Never forget that betrayed conf
dence is two-edged sword cutting
both ways, wounding the heart Of
one, Staying the honor Of the
other.

A Very Modest Girl.

Killed by a Comet.

Louisa Savoy, the mother of Fran
els l. of France, perceiving one night
an unusual light in her room, she de-
sired. the curtains of her bed to be
drawn aside, when she observed a
brilliant comet in the sky. Impressed
with the belief that this was a por-
tent which did not appear for per-
sons of ordinary condition, she order
ed the window to be closed, and an
nounced her intention of preparing
for her approaching departure from
the world. Her physician, on being
summoned assured her that there
was nothing in the state of her health
to give ground for uneasiness, an
opinion which, she admitted, would
have accorded with her own feelings if
she had not seen the signal for her
death. She died the third day after
wards, the sight of the comet having
effected that of which she believed it
was the presage. Very different was
the conduct of Queen Elizabeth of
England on similar occasion. A
comet appeared in 1868, while the
Court was at Richmond, and some of
the Queen from looking at an object
supposed to lie inimical to monarchlal
greatness, but she caused the window
to be thrown open, exclaiming "Jacta
est alea." 1t has been remarked that
no comet appeared before her death.

Round Dining Tables.

Round tables are becoming more
and more established in fashionable
favor as the proper shape for the
dinner board. For some time the
small, round ones have been used at
supper parties, and now the English
social season is emphasizing the
use of the dinner size. 1t is an old
fashion revived, and artistic dinner
givers will welcome it. A table can
be so prettily laid when all the covers
radiate from common center. The
circular boards are decidedly more
sociable, too. just as changing a
company from one room to another
disturbs and chills social warmth, SO
turning a corner at the table splits
the unanimity of the circle, divides
the diners into groups, and the ANAL
gamation of talk is prevented. The
change, too, will be welcome one to
frequent dinner-givers, who of late
find their ingenuity taxed to devise
novel floral arrangements. A round
table at once demands quite differ
ent s1aying" from an extension board.

Harry Romano, of the National
theater here, tells a story OF an
astonishing streakof luck that he
had while at Fredericksburg with his
regiment during the war. There was
an enormous deal OF high gambling
going on those days, and for about a
fortnight his winnings averaged nearly
$4,000 q day, without a loss. The
last night that he played he left off
$4,000 winner, after holding at least
q dozen fours-of-a-kind against full
hands, and so forth. One of his oppo-
nents, who had lost heavily, offered
him 500 for the pack of cards they
had been playing with, which happened
to be the property of Romano. The
latter thought the proposition an
astonishing one but accepted the
money, upon which the purchaser,
declaring that he did the thing
deliberately for the purpose OF break
ing Romaine's luck, tore the cards into
small pieces and scattered them OF
the wind. Romano was just super-
stitious enough himself to fear that
his luck had been broken in this way,
and he swore on the spot never to
touch another card; nor has he done

WHAT BAccARATIs.
A Game Like Vingt et Un, but With

wore COmDtnatlOnS'
Baccarat, rarely played in America,
is the favorite fashionable gambling
game of England and the continent.
1t is gambling pure and simple, may
be played by any number ofpacks of
cards. All bet against the dealer,
who banks and deals from box sim
liar to cigar box. The face cards
each count ten, and the others ac-
cording to the number of their spots.
After the bets have been made the
banker deals two cards to each of
the players, including himself, but the
other players must receive their cards
before the banker is served.
The aim of the players is to make
the numbers, 8, 10, 20, or as nearly
those as possible, us s, Is and %.
Any player is at liberty either to
"stand, with the two cards first dealt
or to call for more ut the risk of ex-
ceeding 20, when his stake is forfeited
| to the dealer. Ii, after the first distri-
button of two cards to each, any
player has o. "naturaP'-that is a

inferior hands. The players stake

progress as there are players, and the

Prior to the banker making q start
he states the amount in the bank
for example, ESQ. Any one sitting
down at the table has right to call
the whole of the bank, selecting the
left or the right on which to pick up
the cards. II the bank is not called

marked" or called-the former mean
ing that the money is placed on the
table, the, latter that the banker has
accepted the bet without the money
being staked. The latter course, how,
ever, is quite the exception, the ready
coin being invariably planked. Pre-
vious to the banker dealing the cards
it is the duty of two croupiers, one or
the right and the other on the left tC
count up the stakes deposited or
either side, and then make up the
bank. Thus the banker knows to the
smallest coin the exact amount of his
liabilities. Had the game been proper

would have stood an earthly chance
of cheating.-Atlanta Constitution.

Customs That Seem to Be Opposed
tothe Teaching OF Christianity,


tothe Teaching Of ChrIstianIty.
1t is a sad commentary on a chris
tian community, which takes that
distinctive title from religion whose
founder is called the CONSIDER, because
his word piucks the sting from death
that it surrounds death with every
circumstance ofwoe and gloom, writes
George William Curtis in Harper's
Magazine. The distinctive ministry
of the faith seems to fall at the very
point to which it is especially address
ed. The natural christian tone at the
burial of the dead would seem to be
the cheer that springs from the
thought of immortality-a sublime
hope, tender resignation. The chris
tian thought in that hour should in
stinctively dwell upon the soul, not
upon the body, and the simplest and
most unostentatious rite of burial
would seem to be the most truly chris
tian. But the ostentation of chris
tian funerals has become 80 great
that burial reform associations are
formed, both in this country and il
England, to relieve the poor of thu
painful and needless cost which, from
mistaken respect for the dead, they
will not spare 80 long as ostentatior
is the custom.
