the man who has his room engaged, who
gives his baggage to the hotel van, feels
inside his coat to make sure that his
money is all right, then climbs up the
broad fight of stone steps and walks
straight into the gambling rooms to try
his luck while it is fresh, and without
even going to the hotel to wash. While
he is trying it the ignorant will want to
know how Monte Carlos gambling in
stitution happens to exist.
At one time Europe was studded with
open gambling resorts. Baden-Baden
and Homburg are among the places that
everyone has heard about. Virtue yelled
at these shameless institutions, the Gov
ernments which controlled them were too
big to be bribed and they were closed.
Then NJ. Blanc, intelligent man,
thought of the Principally of Monaco.
There was a country theoretically as in
dependent as these United States,
although not half as big as many an
American farm. Its ruler, one of
tribe of little Italians princes, knew
cyclone when he saw it, and gained the
good will of Franco by not interfering
with Napoleon's task of thrashing Italy.
When other princes we're lifted off
their thrones, and when later the Italian
territory about him was annexed to
France, the Prince of Monaco, with his
little country, was left free with French
ground all around him, and there he is
now, a sort of little monarchical island

WHAT the ultimate result of the ad- vanccment in the science of offense and defense will be is question which must soon be considered in this coun- try. Those who have kept track of the progress made in both branches have observed that neither has out stripped the other. No sooner has an armor been invented that will with stand shot and shell than a projectile is found which will penetrate it No sooner have fortifications been planned than means have been devised which render them Of no practical value. An immense battlcship is built and imme- diately torpedo or other facilities capable of destroying it is manufac. tured.

For example. writers in any particular department of literature work more or less along the same lines; novelists are always searching for something new in plot or motive and also to strike the key note of the popular fancy; they natur- ally turn to the same or similar sources for suggestions; the news of the day, and the problems enterprises or fads upon which popular interest turns are at the service of one or all to use as each ones literary judgment or instinct may decide.

Road. and Road Making.

Roads running through villages and cities can be improved by applying q covering of ashes ana cinders. This packs down hard and makes a much better surface than the natural soil unless it be gravelly. Cinders and slags from iron furnaces make excel lent covering also. Vegetable fiber is also recommended as road covering.
 Where timber is plenty and labor scarce the cheapest road bed over swampy ground is the corduroy" It can be improved by covering with brush and earth or some better ma terial. Where easily obtained shell Oyster, clam. etc. have been used for covering. applied as broken stone is applied. It is not we'll adapted for heavy traffic. as it wears away rapidly.

she Dlpper and the North star.

Most people in clear day can without a watch or other tlmepiece, form a closely approximate idea G the time of day by the position of the sun, but few. perhaps, have guessed any similar method of computing tho time during the n ght without any other means than the starry skies. " Nothwithstanding fairly reliable time indicator can be found in the northern skies on each cloudless night. As is generally known. the group of fixed stars called the Dip per- makes an apparent revolution toward the North star in every twen- ty-four hours, with the two stars form ing the outer elevation of the bowl of the dipper pointing nearly directly to the polar star continuously.
 If the position of the pointer" is taken at any given hour say 6 clock in the evening in the winter time and as soon as it is dark in the summer, the hour can thereafter be pretty accurately measured by the eye dur ing the night Frequent observation of position will have to be made at the given hour as owing to the constant changing of the earths position in space, the position of the pointers in relation to our point Of observation and the star also change. Observa- tions taken during q year and im- pressed on the mind will make a very good time indicator of that part of celestial space. -- Mechanical News

sherm,n.nd Hi. Pnr,v.

The reelection of John Sherman in Ohio will do great deal to strengthe the Democratic party, especially in the Western agricultural states. whose people he has spent his public career in defrauding All the droughts grasshoppers. caterpillars. floods and cyclones-all the natural calamities to which the agricultural states have been subjected of trihing dam age to them compared to the wrongs inflicted on them by the plutocratic policy of which he has been the agent. His reelection was at no time doubtful. If Foraker and Mir. Murat Halstead doubted it. no one else did Everyone else knew that the pluto crats who have controlled sherman could not afford to lose him from the senate. He represents the money lenders and the usurers as we'll as the Mckinley trusts and either of these influences would easily control any Republican legislature in Ohio. Sher- mans reelection was fore gone con- clusion from the first
 It is only another of many signs which indicate overwhelming Repub- lican defeat next fall. The party will concede nothing to the people. If the people revolt against John Sherman ism in finance the remedy proposed is more John Shermanism. If they pro- test against high tariff. the tariff is made higher still as a means of satis- flying them. If they complain of blocks-of-five conspiracies the force bill is offered to sooth them.
 This is consistency. to be sure, but such consistency is bound to destroy any party which is not prepared to put down the people with the ultima ratio of consistent Republicanism- the Mailed Hand and the bayonet
 The frauds of Republican finance have been carried to such an extreme that the greater the skill shown in carrying them further the more exas- perated the people will be- For this reason. John Sherman's return to the senate will greatly strengthen the Democratic party. He stands for the 1uintessence of fraud in the Repub- lican financial policies Of the past and present and his reelection is con vincing evidence for the people that the Republican party is determined that they shall have no relief Sher- man in the senate means that the rlu- tocrats will give no quarter.

BRITISH writers and speakers have much to say of the want of responsi- bility to the popular will in our insti- tutions because we have no govern ment that goes out of power whenever 1t is met with a hostile majority in our houses of congress. But we doubt if there is constitutional government on the face of the earth where the people have been more openly denied and defied than in Great Britain dur ing the last three years. The party in power for that time was minority party. To-day, if we can trust the witnesses of popular feeling. it is a minority so small as to be ridiculous in its attitude of holding on to the reins of power that are so surely slip. ping from it's weakening grasp.

IN the house of commons at one period uniform accentuation and trained articulation were prevalent because prior to the reduction of suf- frage only men of hereditary wealth which generally implied university education had seats.

Oxford and Cambridge men who lived long enough in university pre- cincts to acquire academic voice and orthnpy are still numeoous- But one of the most eloquent men in the par lament of Great Britain, Joseph Cowen. spoke with a quality of tone and distinctness of accentuation so different from that of his colleague, John Morley. that it was hard to be- lieve the same speech vernacular of both.

 WHO denies that the family is the foundation Of stable society," Who questions that the simple formula of the marriage ceremony underlies the stability of the state? No one who has sense to see anything more than that which floats as scum upon the surface of the stream. Yet in all civilized lands or to be more pre- cise, all over the United States are courts authorized by statute to traverse the laws of God and make an end of the marriage relation upon the most flimsy pretexts. .Incompatibility of temper has often been pleaded suc- cessfully to secure the desired separ- alton. and if finite mental dexterity can go farther than that in the noth- ingness of excuse it is difficult 10 imagine how.

THE want of system in the methods of technical education in this most practical of countries has long been a cause of surprise and solicitude 10 all who have turned their thoughts to this subject With all the benefits of our system of common school educa- tion. 1t excludes practical instruction in handicrafts as if it were of no value. As a result of this neglect the youth of the United States are greatly at disadvantage in competition with the youth of Germany and of France.
 where instruction in the principles of technical industry forms an essential part of popular education There is no dispute that the number of Ameri- can workingmen trained in the knowl- edge of the highest industries is small compared with the workingmen of those countries of Europe whose schools are workshops for all who have an aptitude for industrial and artistic pursuits Hence 1t comes that with all our education and superiority it is necessary to frequent 1y invoke the aid of foreign inmi- grants in industries requiring thor eueh technical knowledge and train
