The Reward of Virtue.

The following story is related of n
gentleman who invited number of
Sunday school children to treat in
his beautiful grounds. Not tho least
appreciated among the many good
things were the excellent Strawberries
and cream, of which there was u plen-
tiful supply.
Seeing how the children enjoyed
these, the good man, wishing to inn
prove the occasion, addressed them:
"Well, boys" he said, "I hope You
have thoroughly enjoyed your straw
berries and cream?"
"Yes, Sir" was the rerly, in lusiy
chorus.
"But suppose" he continued, "that
instead OF having been invited hero
you had stolen over my garden wall
and helped yourselves when no ono
was looking, YOU would not have en-
joyed them hall as much, would
youP"
"No. sir, replied the chorus.
"And why not?" queried their ben
efactor.
To this answer there was no lmme.
diate response, the boys being appar-
emily shy of giving any reason. At
length, however, little urchin, rath-
er bolder than the rest, piped out:

The engineering work which may
have considerable effect on coastwise
freights is the reconstruction of the
Dismal Swamp Canal, which is de.
signed to afford waterway between
the north and south seacoasts, avoid
ing the dangers OF Hatteras. This
canal is historic one, having been
begun in 1877 and constructed in ten
years, largely by slave labor, to the
depth of four feet and width of
thirty-two feet. 1t extends from
Elizabeth City, near Norfolk, Va, to
the head waters, of the Pasquotank
River, distance of twenty-five miles,
there connecting with navigable
streams which reach the ocean south
OF Hatteras. In its early years it paid
dividends of sixty per cent. per
annum, and share of its stock was
reckoned to be worth one hearty male
slave. The present contract calls for
uniform depth of ten feet and a
width of sixty feet, and the venture is
backed by 100000 OF Baltimore
capital. The work is to be completed
by December 81, 1897.

Gambling Women.

A very noticeable and unpleasant
feature OF the Ostend Kursaal is the
number of women who are to be seen
gambling there. English woneu
take the lead rs heavy players. The
nightly scenes ut the kursaal are o.
startling nature. A correspondent
writes from Osten to an English
newspaper:
"At Monte Carlo tho maximum
stake is nine napoleons on a roulette
number. Here at the Ostend Kur-
saal, one can go up to 800 francs, and
it is calculated that 800 900 francs con
be won at stroke. At Trente ct
quarante the maximum is $4,000
francs, but the croupiers often permit
supplementary stake of 5000 francs.
1t should be added that while at Monte
Carlo you can only play with gold, at
Ostend counters are allowed up to n
value of 5000 francs, and certain well
known persons obtain almost unlim-
tied credit from the bank. l remem-
ber seeing four players at onco who
put the maximum of II, 900 francs
each turn, and this went on for hours,
nobody putting himself out in the
least, while at None Carlo the fact of
player risking the maximum is al
ways publicly announced.
"Unfortunately it Is always the
fair sex who chiefly cultivate the taste
for gambling this year. The English
ladies take the lead and are closely
followed by tho Germans. 1t is a
scandal which it is high time should
be stopped"

countrywomen on the unsanitary
enormities of modern female fashion.
Recently, when the Society of Swiss
Schoolmistresses was holding its year

invited to address them. She took
for her subject 1.-The Sins of the Toi-

against the wearing of corsets, against
gloves, and against long skirts. Her
reasoning was SO effective that at the
end of her lecture no fewer than 100
women came forward and subscribed
their name to q pledge to renounce
the corset, to wear gloves only upon

their dresses made foot short of the
