The Profits of Monte Carlo.

The merchant whose losses are the re-
suit Of untOward and unforeseen changes
in the market receives sympathy and
help, but what bank or private friend
will advance money TO a gambler: The
betting man who has staked his last
shilling and lost it is pronounced fool
and has put himself beyond the reach
If practical compassion. The sharper
who has fieeced him has neither graft
tude nor pity. He uses his victim as the
butt Of bis ridicule And the victim
himself, who has risked his money On
mere chance, or ON baseless information,
or ON fraudulent representations, freely
pronounces himself fool, judging him
self in the light of The issue To fancy
that we shall be exceptions and win
where others have lost, that we shall be
the solitary lucky ones among the thou
sands unlucky, is folly to which we
are all liable, but it is none the less a
folly.
1t is stated that the winnings of the
table or hank at Monte Carlo last wear
amounted to $500, 000-that is to saw.
this was the net sum lost by those who
played Yet each gambler who stakes
his little pile fancies he will be the one
TO win. There are some thousands of
bookmakers in our own country. Out of
whose pockets do they pick so comfort

their dupes, who SO bountifully contrib

WORLDS Largest Fruit Farms

The largest fruit farm in the world
Is in Jamaica. The largest fruit plan
tations In that island are owned and
operated by an American company,
the area of whose fruit farm Is $4,000
acres. They own $4,000 acres, and the
other 10000 acres are held by them I'M
der lease. Their principal crops are
bananas and cocoa nuts, and last year
they shipped three million punches Of
bananas and five million cocoa nuts,
besides other fruits, to America and
elsewhere, employing twelve steamers
belonging to the company. Near Olden,
on the Ozark Mountains, In southern
Missouri, there is one Of the largest
and finest fruit farms In the world. 1t
consists Of 1920 acres Of land, owned
by syndicate formed Of members Of
the Missouri Horticultural Society, and
on which are planted 61,O00 peach,
$4,000 apples and 1000 pear trees, with
forty acres in small fruits. There is an
orchard at Barbara, in California, be-
longing to Edward Cooper, which has
an area of 100 acres, and contains
10000 olive trees, 1900 English walnut
trees, $500 japanese persimmon trees,
10000 almond trees, and about 1000
nut and other various fruit trees. At
Toddington, near Winchcombe, In
Worcestershire, Lord Srdeley has an
orchard of 500 acres In extent, which
yields its owner an annual profit of
10000. In Jersey and Guernsey are
many fine orchards; one in the former

Where Maidens Wish.

THE wishing tree still has It's
friends" said one Of the watchmen In
Lafayette park, as he pointed out the
large chestnut tree now loaded down
with burrs, to the west of the statue
OF Jackson, land scarcely day passes
that some one does not speak to me
about 1t. or tell me about their success
or want of 1t in their wishes.
Whether the tree gets all the wishes
that are asked for or not, II furnishes
the wishers with great deal of fun,
and 1t does not seem to do the tree any
harm. One Of the nurse girls who visits
the park every day with her charges
told me yesterday that she wished for
a husband and wished real hard. She
did not get husband vet, though
there is no telling how soon she will
come out, but she did the next thing
to it, by finding pretty wedding ring
ON one OF the walks ten minutes after
she had made her wish.
Il don't know that any one or any
park has tree that can do better than
that all inside of ten minutes. But
nurse girls are not the only ones who
go to the tree with their wishes, as
sure you. Washington Evening Star

A Noted Bridee for Suicides

The most noted bridge In the world
for suicides is said to be that spanning
an abyss in the park of the Buttes-
Chaumont at Paris, which. owing to
its reputation in this respect, has got
the title of the Accused Bridge"
From the day the bridge was finished
up to the present time there has been
no diminution in the numbers Of those
who In the course Of each year cast
themselves from Its parapets. For
nearly score of years from 100 to 150
people have annually committed sui
side IN this way. The rocks that pierce
the shallow waters at the bottom of
the gorge are sharp, and the coveted
death Is certain, once they are over.
A sort of terrible fascination seems tu
hang about the bridge or about one
particular spot about half way across
tia fascination which is said to af.
feet, more or less, nearly every one
who pauses there and looks down.
ward Four of the watchmen, station
ed there to prevent would-be suicides,
have themselves yielded to the fatal
fascination Of this suicides bridge.

ABOUT THE WEATHER.
Mr.. Wingleby Explains to Geo gle About
the Seasons

MI. Wingleby Explains to Geoy gle About
the Seasons
"You see, George, - said Mr.. Win
gleby, whose youthful son had asked
him how we came to have different
kinds Of weather, the weather is put
up in tin cans, days weather to a
can, and usually they put up about q
years supply ahead, enough to last
through spring, summer, autumn and
winter In filling the cans they sort it
all out as well as possible. Sometimes
when they get can full there may be a
little left over, and whatever remains
in this way they throw into one lot.
When they've got pretty nearly ali the
cans full and the regular stock of wealth
er has run out, they fill up from that
lot OF odds and ends. The cans SO filled
contain what is called variable weather.
because it's mixed, but most of the
weather they get pretty well sorted out
according to the season.
when they've got all the cans filled,
they stack 'em up where they'll be
handy to get at, and there's man that
does nothing but open them. Every day
he cuts can and pours out the weather
for that day, and of course a great deal
depends upon him, Sometimes this man
gets careless and pulls down n lot of the
wrong cans, getting them, say, from the
July shelf in the month of April and
likely as not getting down a week S
supply at once, SO as to have them handy
on the opening table. OF course he dis
covers his mistake the first can he opens,
but he is too lazy to put the rest back,
and so he keeps on then until he has
opened them all, and that's how it
comes about, AZ it sometimes does, that
we get hot spell at season when we
ought to have nothing but cool weather.
But of course those April cans are
not lost. They must be around some.
where, and we get 'em later. Maybe
the man will sprinkle them along with
the hope that we won't notice them
much, but as likely as not he opens
them one after another together, maybe
after some terribly hot spell in July or
August, when they are sure to be q
blessed relief, and if he does this we are
pretty apt to forgive him his mistake in
April. Louisville Courier Journal.

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 intlamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intlamed you have rum oling
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 condl-
ton, hearln will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Calarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.

well defined rumor on the water front.

The Northern Pacific steamer City OF

after having lain idle for many months.
II has been claimed that the steamer was
being overhauled To stay the natural
process OF decay consequent upon her long
10y ~ hG iuAASVI tSAS&fGNA "a AA4W0vUts
places an entirely different construction
upon this rejuyenating process.
The report Is that the steamer City of
Seattle win go to the Columbus river and
run during the summer season between
Portland and Ilwaco. scooping up the big
profits of the recreative season and re-
turning to her old berth and idleness wacn
the business begins to slacken. The plan
is entirely feasible. and II carried out dur

would net tidy sum. While the City OF
Seattle is an expensive boat to run. her
accommodations are elegant, and would be
exactly suitel to the class of business to
be picked up on the Columbia river during
the summer. OF cocxse there would be q
vigorous protest from the boats now ope-
rating, who would naturally hate to see a
stranger working In the field during har-
vest time. 1t Is very probable. considering
the show OF friendly relations maintained
between the Northern Pacific and the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation Company. that
the steamer will not be sent to Portland in
the name Of the Northern Pacific. but
backed by private officials OF the COM
pany.
Additional color to this rumor il lent by
Mr.. Yerkes' statement that he might e.

will probably be as manager OF the steamer
City Of Seattle.
