In the good old days of M. Blanc,
writes George r. Sims, it was the custom
at Monte Carlo directly a suicide was
found, to stuff his pockets full of bank
notes. This was done to prove that his
losses at plaly were not the cause of his
hurried departure from the world. The
last person who received this generous
found lying in one of the quiet alleys Of
the beautiful grounds with an empty bot
tie labelled poison" by his side. The
stuffed his pockets full of gold and notes,
preparatory to giving information to the
police. No sooner had they filed him as
full of lucre as he could hold, than the
suicide leaped to his feet. raised his hat,
exclaimed Thank you very much r
and went off to enjoy himself with his
newly acquired weaith.-Exchange.

recruits anatomy receives such a sue
cession of jars that his teeth clatter
and he grabs the tree of the saddle
for support. The sharp eye of the Of
ficer is upon him, however, and he

sore, and for a week he is in frame

harder than he ever noticed them to

of the delights of soldering, but no

specting officer, the half hour may
lengthen remarkably. But he learns
to do this work satisfactorily, and af-
ter few months practice, does it
speedily as well as thoroughly.
But to go back to the morning OF
his first ride. He enters the great
riding hall, which is the largest il the
