HE DIDN'T BREAK THE BANK.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew has been en-
joying himself at Nice. Yesterday he
drove over TO Monaco. and visited the
rooms at Monte Carlo, It II said, for the
first time In his life.
Naturally. n man with Mr.. Depcw's
inquiring mind became at once inter
ested in the game OF rouge ct woir.
While he stood looking on. a lady. one
Of his companions. slipped a five-franc
piece on one OF the little spaces at the
end OF the row of figures. and 500 drew
back three five-franc pieces as win
nings. TRY again" said the Railroad
President. and the lady did try three
times. but zach time her iive-franc
pieces were raked In. "Ah! I see." re-
marked Mr.. Depew. "the bank gets II
all"
Well. IL It not the same everywhere?
In New York. as at Monte C~arlo-in rail-
roading as NJ roulette? IL 1t not the rule
that the bank gets It all?"
The experience was enough for the
President. He passed scatheless through
all the rooms. Even the charm Of trente
ct qusrante failed to captivate him, and
| Mr.. Depew went back to his hotel with
out making an attempt to emulate the
man who broke the bank at Monte

LAS you have recommended oatmeal
porridge to your readers. you may like
to give them a recipe for mixing 1t.
This quantity will suffice for a soup
plateful. Put two breakfast cupfuls Of
water into a saucepan. When boiling
throw in some salt n add the oatmeal
little by little, stirring 1t all the while
with a wooden SPOON, till you have made
1t thick enough. Then boil for twenty
minutes. stirring 1t sufficiently to pre-
vent burning. Allowance must be made
for thickening while boiling. II the meal
Is ground very fine it will not swell
much. II 1t is coarse. which makes the
best porridge, it will swell a good deal.

She sA0T 1T PARIS DOCTOR.

Pupi, of Cbarcot.
italian Troubles Grow worse-Gsn-
erui News by Cable.

PARIS. Dec. 7.-Dr. Tourette, a we'll
known pupil of the late DIR. Charcot.
was shot while seated in his consulting
room yesterday evening.
Or. Tourette was seated at his desk,
reading a book, at about 8 T.. NJ, when
the door OF his consulting-room was
roIselessly opened, and a pretty young
woman. with very bright eyes and a
nervous manner entered and rapidly APP
preached the doctor. The latter. upon
hearing the rustic of the woman's dress
and the sound Of her footsteps turned
his head n appears to have sprung to
his feet and attempted to escape from
the room.
The woman fired three shots at him
with a revolver before he QUIZ make
his exit, ono bullet taking effect behind
DIR. Tourette's right ear.
The shots attracted the doctors SER
want and other people to the room. and
the woman was seized and disarmed.
w len placed In the hands of the po-
lice the young prisoner at first refused to
give any account OF herself, but later
on she said her name was Camper. and
excitedly declared that she was justi-
fed in shooting DR.. Tourette as he had
placed her and kept her continually
under his hypnotic influence, and that
1t was utterly impossible for her to re-
gain possession of her own will unless
she killed the person to whose hypnotic
influence she was subjected.
She said she had formerly been an in
mate of the Hospital de la Saltpetriere,
on the Boulevard de Hospital, a vast
establishment originally an arsenal
built by Louis Kill. which has beer
converted into an insane asylum fol-
aged and insane m
The woman said that DR.. Tourette had
attended her there, and it seems that the
doctor was In the habit OF being at the
hospital mentioned, when the late DIR
Charcot, the famous specialist in nerv'
Gus diseases. delivered his Interesting
lecture at that establishment.
Whether DIR. Tourette experimental
upon the woman during his study o.
hypnotl3m OF not, Is a mater which ha.
not yet been made clear, n thus thi'
interesting feature of the tragedy still
remains a mystery.
DR.. Tourcttc Is not dangerously
wounded.
