Points of Value to Rugged Women.
In n picturesque country, a walking
club is productive of many jolly times
and, aside from the pure enjoyment the
gain in health from this exercise is
very great or course, for this, tho
question Of dress for the girls and
women comes up; and it an import

benefit to be derived depends upon
its suitability and comfort The first
consideration is lightnesS, the next

consumption OF specie payments, and
Of going back TO the occupations of
! peace, we discovered how much our
| resources had really been depleted, and
! how much 1t would cost to repair them.
AS the premium on gold fell, the
prices Of commodities, railroad stocks,
and real estate fell with it, and the
panic of 1873 was the result.
The panic of 1884 was almost en-
drely local in this city, and was pro
duced by the fllegitimate speculations
| Of Grant q Ward, George l. Seney,
john {. Emo, and other men like them,
which involved in ruin the Marine
bank and the Metropolitan bank, and
robbed the Second National Of millions.
The panic OF 1890 was only Il distant
echo Of the Barring collapse in London,
and its evil consequences soon passed
off. It may, therefore, safely be said
that we have enjoyed substantially un-
interrupted prosperity since we re-
sumed specie payments in 1879, and
that the present troubles Indicate no
profound and extensive rottenness,
but are a passing epidemic, like the
grip and cholera, from which we are
destined to emerge with comparatively
little loss
This being so, it viii naturally be
asked: Why does not confidence re-
turn more speedily, and why, in spite
Of all favorable indications which have
manifested themselves during the past
month, do the prices of stocks and
securities continue to fan and failures
continue to multiply? The question has
already been partly answered by a
reference TO the slowness with which
in course of nature all injuries are
repaired, but it may also be said, by
way Of further explanation, that the
return of general confidence, indispen-
Sible TO a return Of general business
prosperity, is also purposely hindered
by the acts Of men who find their
profit in prolonging and intensifying
the public alarm.

INCREASED GAMBLING.
France Abandoning Thrift for tie
Hazards Of Speculation

The French rs a nation were very
free from the gambling passion before
the war, but since then great change
has taken place Horse racing has
undergone great extension, but by no
means in the same proportion that
betting ON horses has increased. Ii is
the bookmaker, not the jockey, who
has done the mischief Formerly the
French never bet on horses except at
the race course; they went to enjoy
the spectacle. Now most Of the betting
goes on in cafes and wine shops, and
the measures taken by the government
of late years 10 reduce the evil arising
from this state of things are well
known says the St James Gazette
But where the betting is concerned
there is always way of outfanking
the law, and the number Of persons
belonging to the petite borgeoisie and
the working class who spend all the
time they can steal from their regular
employment at the house Of the
sporting cafetier and mastrpquet in
creaseS rather than diminishes. The
cafetier himself, although his business
is to keep out of danger and to make
as much as he can from the Others
who are drawn into it, is sometimes
his customers, or allows the shrewdest
Of them to victimize him This was
the case with the man Coupe. who kept
small cafe and wine shop in the Rue
de Ia Glaciere, whose excessive faith
in tuyauX-modern French for tips
brought him to the brink of ruin. Like
a Monte Carlo gambler broken down
i'm bank and credit, he saw no solution
but death; and, having brought his
wife to the same way of thinking, he
shot her his two children and then
himself 1t is this horrible affair that
has made the betting nuisance in Paris
again a subject Of public discussion.
The government has been asked TO
take measures still more draconian in
order TO put it down; but experience
has proved that when people have
fallen into bad habits they are not to be
brought back to the straight path OF
austere virtue 10y legislation The truth
is that the same class of people who
formerly were content to toll year
after year, denying themselves all
Injuries and putting by every spare
franc in order to secure for themselves
a little independence, now find either
that the struggle is TOO severe and
hopeless or that their resolution is not
equal TO so prolonged an effort All are
casting about to find short cuts to
fortune, and the conclusion to which
most of them come is that there is
no short cut to this much-desired goal
except gambling, either Of the frank
and open kind or disguised by phrase
ology that gives it a more respectable
color.
