Gambling Houses Have No Use for Time
Indicators.
There are no clocks in gambling
houses, and there never will be, except
those of the clock game variety.
There's reason for this and a good one,
too, in the opinion of the gentlemen
with hurdle-course shirt fronts who
personify the tiger, says the Chicago
Tribune.
What's the .time?' asked one of
them the other morning early morn
ing-as he pulled a diamond studded
watch from his pocket and answered
the question.
.'Why don't we have a clock hanging
up?'' he continued. ssCause they cost
money. l don't mean it takes more
than the result of one deal to pay for
one of 'em in the first place, but they're
expensive in the end. You see it's this
way: If we had a ticker on the wall
and fellow had promised to be home
on the last car, and happened to look
up and see that he had seven minutes
to catch that car, why, it's nearly an
even thing that he'd quit us and go
home. That sort of business would
soon burst us up. If he doesn't know
what the time is he misses his car, then
he doesn't give a rap what time he
goes; he generally waits for the cable
to start again. That's where our soft
money comes I'M. men get reckless as
the morning dawns.
''No, sir; no clocks on my wall. I'm
not going to fix things so that man
will have to lie to his wife when he
tells her he didn't know what the time
was. I don't like liar nohow.''
And Mr.. Surething pulled his watch
out of his pocket and told a man who
had just arisen from poker table that
1T is just 2:56, SIR" The man mutt
tered: missed it" and bought another
stack.

MARRIAGE FOR YOUNG MEN.
Usually the Only Thing That VIII Make a
Man Save Money.

Usually the Only Thing That VIII Make a
Man Save Money.
This is true story, and one that
will apply to many other young men
besides this particular one. It is a
great pity that this is true, says the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, but so
it is.
A prosperous business man who en-
ploys quite number of clerks said re-
Gently that he had been led to the con-
clusion that the young man who saved
and invested his earnings is an ex-
ception to the rule. He was surprised
to find this to be true. The facts came
out when he began reducing his work
ing force as business fell off. The
first to be dropped were those who had
no family depending upon them. Then
it was that they would confess they
hadn't saved a dollar, and had no
means whatever upon which to live.
This same man also observed that
the married men nearly all had saved
something, notwithstanding their
salaries We're no larger, and in some
cases less, than those drawn by single
men.
By quizzing these young bachelors
he found that riotous living was the
principal cause of their poverty.
Some of them gambled on the quiet,
and others just naturally let it go
right and left as long as there was any
to go.
From this he concluded that mar
riage is very good thing for young
man, provided he marries a sensible,
practical sort of a woman. Hereafter
he proposes to give married men the
preference because, in so doing, he will
be helping those who are willing to
help themselves.

a GERMAN .yoke.

The following fraud upon an insur-
ance company, which we find in the
Deutsche Tabak-zeitung, is certainly
just little too good to be true: "a
cunning fellow, who wanted to smoke
the best cigars at the cheapest possible
cost, bought one thousand cigars of
the highest quality and corresponding
price, and Immediately insured the
whole stock. When he had smoked
the last of them, he demanded seven
hundred and fifty marks from the in
surance company on the ground that
the whole of his insured stock, ten
boxes of cigars, had been consumed by
fire! The Solomonic court decided in
favor of the plaintiff. The company
then brought an action of conspiracy
against the smoker, accusing him of
having Intentionally put fire to his
own cigars and deliberately destroyed
his property. Hereupon the same wise
court condemned the insured smoker
to three months imprisonment.

a HOLE THRoUcH THE EARTH.
where Would Ball Dropped Into 1t
Come to a Stop:

where Would Ball Dropped Into 1t
Come to Stop:
CIV. M. j. residing at Richmond,
Mo-, sends the following peculiar query
to the editor of the ST. Louis Republic,
and asks for an answer to it:
''If it were possible to drill hole of
foot or more in diameter entirely
through the earth and then to start q
ball weighing one hundred pounds or
more to falling through the same at
what point would it stop?"
Answer: Weight, in the sense that
''W. j. M. refers to it, is the measure
of attraction of gravitation; or, in
other words, it is the measure of force
with which body is attracted by the
earth. This attractive force decreases
both ways from the surface of the
earth, both outward into space or
downward toward the globes supposed
molten center. In partial explanation
of this assertion 1 will say that any
given size bulk of iron, or any other
mineral or material whatever, will
weigh less on the top of high noun
tain than it will at sea level In order
to be exact in this matter l will say
that mass of one thousand pounds
weight will lose exactly two pounds
OcJWGCn EIQSWdtCI anu CA1C up O4 d
mountain four miles high. This, it is
plain to be seen, is because the force
of the earth's attraction is much less
on,the mountain top than it is at the
sea level
Therefore, if ball be started on the
journey outlined in the query sent in
by our Richmond friend, it's weight
would decrease to certain extent with
every yard of its fight Tor falD, until,
finally, upon reaching the center of the
earth, it would have no appreciable
weight, the attraction at that point
acting equally in every direction. This
being true, it is plain that the phe
nomenon of what we know as weight"
would be entirely wanting, and the
ball would be held in suspension as
though immovably transfxed by num-
erous magnetic or invisible points.

Kenneth Bazemore had the good for-
tune to receive small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera, and Diarrhea
Remedy when three members of his
family were sick with dysentery. This
one small bottle cured them all and he

him of the same complaint. When

with the result. The praise that natur-
ally follows its Introduction and use has
made it very popular, % and so cent

ONLY LET HER Look WELL.
And the Average Woman VIII Face Death
with Reasonable CaImness.

And the Average Woman VIII Face Death
with Reasonable Calmness.
A young lady of Owensboro, KY,
while recently. visiting in another
state, narrowly missed horrible
death. She was walking upon long
and high railroad trestle with male
friend and they were overtaken about
the middle of it by a lightning express
train. They had sufficient presence of
mind to step out upon the end of the
water barrel fastened on the side of
the trestle. The flying train caused
such a vibration of the trestle and the
young woman was so frightened she
all but lost her grip upon the barrel,
which would have meant horrible
death upon the rocks below. After
ward she said she did not think in this
moment of great peril of her father,
mother or sweetheart, or the little
sins of her past life, but only of the
fact that the greasy barrel and cross
ties were running her new spring
gown. This reminds the Owensboro
Messenger of the experience of a
girl at Russellville, who, when run
down in a carriage with gentleman
at crossing by train, suddenly
found herself suspended in midair on
the pilot of the engine, supported by
one arm of the gentleman about her
waist, while he clung on to the pilot
with the other. She said she only re-
membered that she had gone out to
drive with her shabby shoes on, and
wondered if anybody was seeing them.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube gets
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result. and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever /;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

BUILDING A HOUSE in BERMUDA
The Walls and the Roof Made Out of
White Coral Rock.

White Coral Rock.
Any man who chooses, says an article
on Bermuda in the Review of Reviews,
may scrape the thin coating of earth
off from his proposed building site and
proceed to lay up the walls of his
habitation with the blocks sawed out
in the process of excavating his cellar.
Thus when the cellar is dug the house
may be ready for roofing, and if
enough roofing material has not al
ready been accumulated in the course
of the excavation, it can easily be had
by digging the cellar trifle deeper,
for the roofs in Bermuda are invariably
made out of thin slabs of this same
white coral rock. 1t has the advan-
tage of beingso soft that one may cut it
with an ordinary handsaw ten hours a
day for six months or year. without
refiling the saw. 1t may be sawed into
slabs two or three inches thick and
eighteen inches or two feet square
without particular danger of breaking
the slabs. It looks somewhat like a
very soft, chalky variety of marble.
Though so workable when first
quarried it hardens upon exposure.
Moisture permeates it easily, however,
and it is desirable that building
should be covered with thin coating
of Portland cement or a mixture of
common plaster with cement This
coating is then treated with a heavy
whitewash made of lime burned from
the same ever-ready coral rock The
roofs and chimneys, as well as the
walls, are kept constantly whitewashed
and are absolutely as white as the
driven snow
