tury.
There were in 1924 in London
alone 35 ven-known gambling
houses. Nearly all our most respect
able West Enc clubs were originally
gambling houses, as the Cocoa Tree,
which is still fourishing as a club
at No. Ga st. James street. One
night late in the last century there
was a cast at hazard, the difference
of which was e18O,0OO. That pres
ent pink Of perfection, "White's,"
was perhaps the most appalling gam
bling hell in Europe. 'The young
men of the age" says Walpole, close

an evening" The play at this club
was only for rouleaux, of ESQ each,
and generally there was 100000 in
gold on the table. The gamesters
began by pulling off their embroi-
dered clothes, and put on frieze gar
ments or turned their coats inside
out for luck. They put on pieces of
leather to save their lace ruffies, and
to guard their eyes from the light
and to prevent tumbling their hair,
wore high-crowned straw hats with
broad brims, and sometimes masks
to conceal their emotions. Almack's
afterward was known as the Goose

and Pitt was one of its most con
slant frequenters, and there met his

ON ONES NERVES.
A Mental Condition That Needs a Radi-
cal Treatment.

A Mental Condition That Needs Radi-
cal Treatment.
Some Of our readers may be famil-
lar with the mental condition which
results from having certain subject
or phase of a situation get on ones
nerves. You brood so continuously
over an infelicity, a grievance, or
resentment that you become exasper-
ated. You not only lose your sense
Of proportion, but your good tenn
per. That is the one subject which
you cannot think of calmly or reason
about clearly. Your nervous irrita-
ton precludes any mental operation
concerning it except that Of feeling,
and your emotions in regard to it all
run one way. We imagine that if the
full truth were told in regard to many
acts that seem unreasonable and al
most desperate, it would come out
that certain situation or person had
got on the mans nerves, and, like the
Malay, who says that he ''gets hot in
his head" he simply ran amuck. But
there are one or two cautions that are
worth regarding by us all when We
observe in ourselves any tendency of
this kind. One is to seek to geta true
perspective of the situation by getting
far enough away from it in imagina-
ton or in actual distance to look at
things in their proper relations. The
other is to take your coolest, hardest.
headed friend into your confidence
and talk the matter over with him,
The less imaginative and the more
matter of fact he is the better, and
you will be apt to find his dry, prosaic
comment on the situation will give
you just the changed point of view
that YOU d.-Boston Watchman.

rHE PRODUCTION on GOLD.
Yearly gIo, 900, ,Ooo, 900 Found Since the
Discovery Of America

OF the $10,0OO,O 100000 Of gold pro-
duccd in the world since the discovery
of America, more than one-half has
been found since 1860, and more
than one-quarter since 1885, or to
put it in other words, one-half of the
gold mined in the last 400 years has
been produced within 40 years, and
one-fourth within 10 years. The
treasury bureau Of statistics has made
some compilations regarding the gold
production OF the world in view of the
temporary suspension of gold mining
in South Africa, and its possible eff
feet upon the gold supply of the
world. A casual examin ion of the
figures Of annual production shows
plainly the very rapid inc.eese during
the last half of the clos.nr century.
From 1893 to 1000. r,01,64O,00
worth of gold was found, the average
annual production being $4,644,S15.
From 1901 to 100, $sO6, $4,000
worth was mined, and from 17O1 to
1900, $1,262,s05, 900. From 1901 to
1860, $2,120, 49, 900 was produced,
the average annual output being $15,-
745, ,260. In the decade from 1861 to
1870 the total production was 81 $685.
015,000. In the next ten years the
production was slightly less, being
81, 1,150,814,000, and from 1881 to
1890 there was also considerable de-
crease, the amount being 81 ,060, ,055,-
600. From 1891 to 1899, the produc-
ton increased in q remarkable de-
gree, amounting to no less than $1,-
S67,971 900, the average annual
amount being $SO4,779,555. This
makes the total production between
1493-1S99, $9,S $685. 900.
An examination of the amount of
gold produced from the mines Of the
Transvaal and by those of other
countries shows that the gold produc-
tion of the entire world is more than
double that from the Transvaal; the
latter mines produced $79213,952
worth of gold in 1898, while the pro-
duction in other parts of the world
was $20s,214,647, making grand
total of $2S7,428,6OO. = Scientific

YOUNG MEN
Should Especially Desire The
Crushing of Trusts and I'm
perialism.

Thousands Of young men are go
ing on November to cast their
first votes for President. And it is
to be hoped that they realize the
full extent of their own personal
stake in the result.
The present campaign is another
pivotal event in our political
history. The young men who are
shortly going to cast their first
Presidential ballots are, whether
they are fully conscious of it or not,
the voters who will have most
cause in the years ahead to look
back at the result with profound
thankfulness or keen regret. 1t is
parting of the ways for them.
Old men are passing off the stage,
and the full fruits of the verdict to
be rendered at the polls next
month will not be gathered in their
time. 1t is to the young men, with
their lives all before them and the
hard problem of how to realize
their hopes and ambitions to solve,
that the election of Mr.. Mckinley
or Mr.. Bryan is oil the gravest Omo-
ment.
Between the party of imperialism
and the trusts and the party Of
human liberty and equality of
rights and opportunities 1t is for
our young men to choose. And as
they make their choice they will
have to reap the consequences.
Those of them who understand the
history of their own country and
the principles on which their fore
fathers founded its government can
not fail to see that if they vote to
re-elect Nj Mckinley, and thereby
ratify his policy in the Philippines
and Porto Rico, they will vote to
nullify the Constitution aud commit
the coming generation to a pro-
gram of conquest, colonization and
annexation in quarters OF the globe
far distant from our own shores.
And they are themselves the com,
ing generation. .
That policy is not the policy OF
their fathers; 1t is the policy which
all the greatest men of both parties
have one hundred years warned us
against adopting. 1t is policy

Is Five Feet in Height and Weighs ros
Pounds.

The smallest man in the United
States army is stationed atthe Colum-
bus post. He is one of the great fam.
lily of Smith-John Smith by name
and is a member of company G,
Seventh regiment.
Private Smith is small in stature,
but has a record that man twice his
size might well be proud of. He en-
listed in the United States army in
April, 1879, as a drummer boy, and
this is the reason he is able to claim
the distinction Of being the smallest
soldier in Uncle Sans service. He
is little more than five feet in height,
and weighs 108 pounds.
Along in the 'S0s an order was is
sued by the war department doing
away with "calls" on the drum and
substituting the trumpet. This de-
stroyed the usefulness Of the drum
mer boys, and many of them became
trumpters. But Private Smith was
anxious to be transferred to the line,
and when he made application the
war department, in view Of his excel
lent record, waived the standard of
height and weight and assigned him
to the company and regiment to
which he now belongs. He has con-
tinuous service credit Of 29 years, and
has been engaged in number of cam
paigns. He served with his regiment
throughout the Spanish-American
war, and never once did his size in
terfere with his fighting qualities.
At "hxed bayonet" he is scarcely
taller than his piece. He has but 1s
months to serve, and, it is presumed
as is customary he will be promoted
to sergeantcy for retirement-0hio

SOME LAZY ANIMALS.
industry Compared to Some
Birds and Insects.

A baser libel was never penned than
that amazing bit of natural history
which described the slo1h as the LATEST
animal known. Like the snail, the poor
sloth was never cut out for anything
better. Even when his worst enemy,
the keen-toothed jaguar, is bounding
him through the green arches of the
tropical forest, the wretched sloth can
not add another yard an hour to his
speed
The first duty of any seh-respecting
bird is surely to build a nest in which
to raise it's young. Yet look at the num-
ber which shirk this necessary proceed
ing. The kestrel never dreams of such
eXertion. The last years home of
magpie suits Mr.. and Mrs. Kestrel to
perfection.
The sparrow hawk, too, finds some
thing of the same SOFT very handy. The
house where Mrs. Carrion Crow brought
up her last years brood does well to go
on with. Even the lump of rough odds
and ends which has once done duty as
a squirrels nest is not to be despised.
The cuckoo not only presumes on the
kindness of other birds to lay her egg
in their nests, but her young, when
hatched, cruelty evicts its foster broth
ers and sisters to perish miserably on
the cold earth below.
The cheeky sparrow, too, has many
of the bad habits of the habitual tramp.
His nest, when he makes one. is of the
most untidy description, and house
martens neat, mud-built abode is very
much to his taste if he can seize ii dur
ing the absence of its proper owner. Il
Some creatures are much too lazy to
feed themselves. There is a large war
rior ant the ancestors of which, many
generations ago, captured smaller ants
as slaves. In the course of ages the
fighting ants have become so helpless
and incapable that if their slaves do
not attend them they simply perish. not
knowing how or where to procure the
necessary food.
To such an extent, indeed. has this
degeneration proceeded, that the very
structure of the Amazon and, as ii is
called. has slowly altered, ill it's mand-
bles have lost their teeth and are be-
come mere nippers - deadly weapons
indeed, but useless except for purposes
of war.
Not only do their slaves feed them,
but also carry them on their backs from
place to place.
The fishhawk is another creature that
prefers its hard work done for it. 1t
hovers over the gulls as they are fishing,
spots one rising with q plump mackerel
In its claws, and swoops down like
thunderboit. The poor gull, scared out
of its senses, drops its feast which the
pirate seizes ere it reaches the water,
and devourV =,
The rem IRA, or sucking fish, thinks
nothing of thousand-mile trip fas-
tened tight on the back of a shark or
the hull OF a ship and when it lets go
never dreams of offering fare, or ever
so much as a thank you.
Another small fish with big Latin
name travels in the mouth of the Bra
Gillian catfish.
The little pea crab generally foists
himself upon the mussel or oyster, and
lives In comfort on the spoils of his un-
willing host. The hermit crab seems to
have lost the power OF forming for him
self shell of any kind; so he hides his
jelly-like form in the recesses of the
frat old shell he may come across

OLD COUPLE
rIarried Themselves TO Save the
Usual Wedding Fee.

For the third time ia the history
of the marriage license law of Pen
nsylvania a "self-marriage' certi-
cate was issued last week. The
knot was tied in the presence of the
County Clerk and two witnesses.
The contracting parties we're An
drew ]. Taylor, aged 81, and Chris
tina Eikes, aged 90.
1t was purely matter of econo-
my that they dispensed with the
services Of minister. The GROOM
appeared in the marriage license
office last week and stated his case.
He inquired particularly about the
fee for performing marriage cere.
monies. The Clerk informed him
that the legal fee was SIS. The old
man said that was too much and
he would consider the matter a
while longer. Later he made his
second appearance and informed
the Clerk that he had consulted an
attorney and learned that he and
his intended bride could perform
the ceremony by simply declaring
themselves married in the presence
of two witnesses. In this way 1T
would cost but $1.20, 90 cents for
the regular license and 90 cents for
the marriage certificate.
The old man performed his part
of the ceremony and instructed his
bride how to proceed. The certif-
cate reads:
1--WE hereby certify that on the
18th of October. 1900, we united our
selves in marriage, at Pittsburg, in
the County of Allegheny, having
first obtained from the Clerk of the
Orphans Court of said county a
declaration that he was satisfied
that there was no existing legal
impediment to our so doing.
