INCREASE OF GAMBLING IN FRANCE.
The Nation Abandoning It's Proverbs,

The Nation Abandoning It's Proverbia1
Thrift for the Hazards of Speculation.
Fro The London st. James Gazette.
The French as q 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. 1t is the bookmaker,
not the jockey, who has done the mis-
chief. 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 meas
ures taken by the government of late years to
reduce the evil arising from this state of things
is we'll known
But where betting is concerned there IL
always way Of outfanking the law, and the
number OF persons belonging to the petite
oourgeoisie and the working class who spend
All the time that they can steal from their reg
ular employment at the house of the sporting
caieuer and mastroquet increases rather than
dlminishes. The cafetier himself. although
ms business is 10 keep out Of danger and to
make as much as he can from others who are
orawn into 1t, Is sometimes entangled in the
same meshes with his customers. or allows
the snrewdest OF them to victimize him. This
was the case with the man Coupe who kent a
small cafe and wine shop in the Rue de Ia
oiaCIere, whose excessive faith in tuyaux-mod-
ern French for "tips"-brought him to the
brink of ruin. Like Monte Carlo gambler,
broken down in bank and credit he saw no
solution but death; and having brought his
wife to the same way of thinking he shot her,
her two children and then himself II 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 dracouian 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 BY
Legislation. The truth is that the same class Of
people who formerly were content TO toll year
after year. deny ing themselves all luxuries and
putting by every spare franc in order TO 80

find either that the struggle ID too So
we're and hopeless or that their resolution

casting about to find short cuts to fortune; and
the conclusion to which most Of them come ID
that there is no short cut to this much desired
goal except gambling, either of the frank and
open kind or disguised by phraseology thsa

Col. Townsend OF the military school at Fort

strong that Lieut.. Fox has deserted. If he is
not heard from within thirty days he will be
dropped from the army rolls as deserter.
Lieut.. Fox WAS promoted from the ranks and

Successful Tennis PLAYING,

1t will be well for those who hope for success
in an approaching match to understand what
Tor them personally may be . strictly judicious

monde Cahill, the champion lady tennis player
OF the United States, in the July Ladies' Horne
Journal 1t may be easily understood that

VIII aiow their possessors to stand more fatigue
than Others, and this fact will always render
oimcult to draw exact line be-
tween the amount Of daily practice which

should deem il = sign Of overeIertion II the
young player came home so entirely exhausted
by the practice Of the afternoon as to be in
capable OF eating with any pleasure or Of
afterward sleeping in any but a disturbed and
htful manner. Such weakening Of the physi-
cal powers is the tennis PLAYERS worst foe
and is sure to result on the following day, and
perhaps during the entire week. in a nervous
state OF mind that will render the hand less
steady and the eve less accurate. 1t will be
well, therefore, in the interest of your game
that you acquire q just appreciation OF what
tor you. may constitute judicious daily prac-
tice and never exceed it, To avert nervous
ness there is, likewise, much TO be said in
favor OF a perfect confidence in your racket
as being a good one. and that you shall leave
yourself in no doubt to whether your ten
mis- shoes viii suffer you TO run over slippery
ground or on a moist sward after rain. To
insure this confidence in your accouterments
L would, in selecting a racket, be careful to
get one of perfect balance. whose handle, Q
little roughened, perhaps. will no. be apt to
turn your hand, and in buying shoes I
would give the preference to those whose soles
are either very strongly corrugated which
possess the small iron spikes so effective on
grass. Iou may do well. likewise, 10 partially
forget coquetry, and remember these common
sense rules during tournament week: DO not
use a new racket. do not wear new shoes and do
not appear IN a new gown unless you make up
your mind TO forget all about il while you are
playing. And above all keep your nerves under
control and try to be philosophical no matter
what happens.
