All the world comes to Monte Car
TO- Is the saying That passes in the
principality when acquaintance from
distant parts Of the globe stand side by

~ the famous gambling tables, bnt
aside from that attraction the place is
OF unique interest. Numbers of peo-
PIE, content to watch the passing show,
go there from year to year, without
even laying a sou Oh the tables. They
go rather for the sunshine, the beauty,

square, and has a population of between
5000 and 5000. 1t lies especially
within the suns good graces, while the
peculiar cliff formation tempers the

the best in Europe.
NO strangers and few of it's inhabi-

the summer, as it is too warm; the

IN June the grass is turned up and al

October, when the seed is sown. In

see the leaves spotted or discolored.
Nothing is eve allowed to decay in

are kept in a state Of perfection.
In fact, it is estimated that OF the
$1,000, 900 revenue derived from the Ia

Interesting relics of Roman Paris,
the old Lutetia, have been discovered
on digging sixteen foot deep founda-
tions for a house in the Rue du Cloitre-
Notre Dame. There are traces, for a
length of nearly 200 feet, of a wall nine
feet thick at the base, and consisting
of blocks of stone which had evidently
served for an Older building and been
hastily put together. Many of these
blocks bear Latin proper names, still
more or less decipherable, though rude
ly chiseled. 1t is believed that these
inscribed blocks were the tiers of an
amphitheater, another portion of which
was discovered in front of Notre Dame
in 1S47. They also resemble the stones

of which was restored some years ago

A Novel Rat-Trap.

The Scientific American describes ar
invention which 1t calls "a humane
rat trap" The inventor asserts thai
not only are ordinary traps cruel, but
they tend to defeat their W purpose
because they teach rats and mice to be
wary. The new device is a wide-open
trap. which is so arranged that a raj
entering it is clasped around the body
with a rubber band, which carries bells
and is covered with tufts coated with
phosphorescent paint. The trap does
not imprison the rat, but simply turns
it into a scarecrow. This, the inventor
thinks, would be the most effectual
method of Kidding a house Of such
pests.

Colorado Continuity Asitated Over. =
Peculiar Condition.
Superintendent of Public instruction
Grace Espy Patton has. received a let
ter from an indignant citizen of Meek
er, in which complaint is made that
the order and decorum Of the school
is seriously threatened because the
school board permits the desks to be
torn up and the school used for a dane
ing academy, Gays the Denver Times.
After describing the condition the
school was in, the writer says: This
was all the result of using the school
house for a public dancing hall. Know
Ing that an orderly school could not
be kept In this sort Of building, I ask
ed permission to arrange and fasten
the desks. This was given, and l la
bored for days (saturdays) to get this
accomplished and now have a very tidy
room. The board of directors then de-
cided, so / was informed, that the
school building should not be used for
any purpose, except such as would
not require the removal or disturbance
of the furniture. But now some up
start takes a notion that they must
AVE another dance in the schOOlhouse,
and, in spite Of my earnest protest to
the board. seems to have secured their
consent. The county superintendent
nor the board of directors have provid-
ed me with a copy of the school laws
of Colorado, hence l am unable to Judge,
whether it is lawful or not to use a
public building for dancing purposes;
but it seems to me that even II 1t Is
not contrary to the letter Of the law,
1t certainly must be to the spirit OF the
law. You well know that any public
gathering in a district. especially my
thing like a dance, is bound to draw on
the minds and attention Of many pu-
pills from their school work, thus de-
moralizing and ~antagonizing the work
of the school. 1t is a common occur
renee here for little girls of IL to IA
years of age to 60 to dances and n
the whole night. You can we'll under
stand the damnable influence upon ten
der young girls and boys of such do
ings. l think, too, that when such a
thing as a dance is held right in the
schooIhouse the evil influence is doub-
ly great. You will oblige me greatly
by giving your decision or the law as
to the lawfulness or unlawfulness of
using public buildings in this state for
dancing. I do not know whether the
desks will be torn from the floor or not
for the dance tonight, but, If sue is
done, can the teacher be compelled by
law to teach again before the school
building is restored to the same order
Iy condition as that in which left 1t!
It must be remembered, in considering
this question, that a public dance, as
conducted here, is a public evil. There
has never been a dance held there but
that empty liquor bottles have been
found on the premises or right in the
pupils desks. Please oblige me by a
prompt reply to my questions

five years the Monte Carlo papers have
not mentioned one suicide or that any
thing exciting has taken place at the
Casino; yet to read the papers in Am

poor Monegasques had a particular pen
chant in that direction.
The present casino of Monte Carlo
was started by Francois Blanc of HON.
bourg about 1863, under the reign Of
Charles III of Monaco. 1t is exclusively
for strangers. The Monegasques. or,
in fact, any one that earns his liveli-
hood in Monaco, is not allowed to go
to the Casino but one day in the year,
November 10, the fete of Prince Albert.
On this day the trades people may en-

have access to the concerts. the reading

neither the opera cor theater are at
Monte Carlo. for which one must pay
from 10 francs up, according to the tai
ent, there are generally two free con-
certs a day. In fact. there are 1875 mu-
sicians employed by the Casino. The
reading rooms are lighted by electric
ity and oil lamps. There are sixteen
writing desks abundantly supplied with
the Casino stationary, and the tables
are covered with the daily newspapers
in all the languages of Europe, besides
the magazines and weekly papers of all
nations.
In the play rooms the saying is that
