Vator IN the domain of philosophy. His

In him the qualities OF the critic and the

thlng Dut the dreams of human ignorance
AMID an assemblage of things it could not
understand, the successive mirages
thrown up before the mind by the chang
ing spectacle OF the world. But if he was
not philosopher, he was a great
thinker. He flung broadcast on every
subject he touched-on art or politics as
on science or religion-the most original
and the most pregnant ideas.
As to his skepticism and his so-calIed
dnettanteism, they were but the conse-
quence OF his sincerity. Afraid, above
all things, or deceiving or being deceived,
he had no fear of proposing contradictory
hypotheSes on subjects where he believed
certainty to be impossible. People have
wondered that the same man who wished
to have the words "Veritatem dilexin

nave asked with Plate, What is truth?n
But these questions, not unmingled
with irony, were themselves a homage to
the truth lie perceived that for most
men the love of the truth means intoler-
ance, fanaticism, particular opinions re-
ceived by tradition or born of the imagi-
nation, always destitute of proof and de-
structive OF freedom of thought. TO as
sert opinions which he could not prove
seemed to him an insufTerable imperti-
nence, an infringement of intellectual
liberty, want of sincerity toward him
self and others. And be bore himself
this testimony: That he had never con-
sciously uttered lie. He regarded it as
stoicism, not skepticism, to go on in the
practice of duty without knowing wheth-
er it had any objective reality; to live for
the ideal without believing in personal
God or in any future life.-Gabriel Mo-

The idea of a martingale is to win a fixed
small sum with the least possible risk of loss.
For instance. you have a capital of 200 to
hazard. and you wish to win So each day and
then stop. II you do this every day the ex-
penses of your vacation will be made 1t is the
simplest thing in the world.
Go to the roulette wheel and bet always on
the even chance OF red. You put 81 on the red
square. The ball whirls round the sunken
disc and falls with click into q compartment,
red or black Suppose it is black, and you
have lost 81. Then you bet 90, and if red wins
you have your original dollar plus the one you
sought to gain. Continue this until you have
won IS.
But If you also lose the second bet you go on
doubling until you win placing a on the third
trial, IS on the fourth, SIC on the fifth, S32 on
the sixth. S64 on the seventh, when. if you
have still lost each time, your 5000 capital is
depleted that you cannot bet the necessary
Sl2S on the eighth turn.
This is a grave defect. If you could forever
double, red must turn up soon. and the first
time that it appears all your losses are regained
plus-what? The one miserable dollar that you
started out to win The remote possibility of
an unlucky run that will exhaust your capital.
for the sake of gaining a vertable trife, Is suf-
ficient to make the amateurs quite timid of this
system.
The truth is that few amateur gamblers have

half the frequenters of the tables have some
patent system in their minds which they fancy
would beat the roulette wheel if they could

OF the price of a Boston evening daily paper

finally, after a wordy contention with the
worthy white-eapped baker, compromised by
paving cents for the bread.
Ralph. the venerable. had the courage of
his mercenary convictions, and insisted for
time on having cent reduction on the price Of
the paper. The newsdealer. too, had the cour-

Eskimo face does not stop at being fat-it is
dshed in the middle. Those polar bellies have
black horsehair on their heads, cafe-au-lsit
compilations and very soft. fine skins Their
tone of voice is precisely like that of the Fdi-

more like that of the Eskimo women. Filing

endeavoring to familiarize the children with
the words cold and ''hot'' at sight without
spelling them by letters. When she asked
them what they would get if they went out Of
doors in winter without their coats, and pointed
at the word they caught the cue at once and
answered cold instantly. But hot proved
