Gambling Houae. In 1,or.,on

There were in 1924 in London alone
S5 well known gambling houses. Near
ly all our most respectable west end
clubs were originally gambling houses
as the Cocoon Tree, which Is still -four
ishing as club. One night late In the
eighteenth century there was cast ut
hazard the difference Of which was

was only for rouleaux Of ESQ each, and
generally there was 10000 in gold on
the table. The gamesters began by
pulling off their embroidered clothes
and put on frIeze garments or turned
their coats inside out for luck. They
put on pieces of leather to save their
lace ruffles and, to guard their eyes
from the light and to prevent tum.
bling their hair, wore high crowned
straw hats with broad brims and some.
times masks to conceal their emotions.

A Hasty Shave.

'The quickest shave 1 ever got" re-
marked the buyer for an oil MILL "was
while was in Texas couple Of years
or 30 ago. I was wearing a full beard
at the time and got clean shave In
less than q minute" -
An incredulous smile stole over the
countenance OF more than one OF, his
listeners and was breaking into n
laugh, when the oil mill man ccntin-
ued:
''You see I was caught IN one Of
those terrific sandstorms they have
down there. and the thickest Of sne

Ing out woman who is guilty Of
smuggling" remarked u deputy mar
shall of Detroit. 1.-The trouble with
women smugglers is they are not at
ease. The customs officer spots them
easily. There Is something In their
very gait that betrays them. A woman
may be brought here charged with hav.
Ing smuggled goods. and she may tell
very smooth story, declaring her in
nocence until there seems no way OF
suspecting her further.
"But when she gets up we watch
her. II she Is innocent, she will walk
away easily and naturally, but IL she
Is guilty she will try SO hard to be nat
ural that she Will invariably fail. Sht
Will start off quite slowly. so fearful
that she will appear to be in q hurry
that her nervousness gets the best Of

SILK Spanning sp,ders.

Consul Plumacher Of Maracaibo re-
ports that large silk spinning spiders
are found in the palm trees OF Vene-
zuela. Some produce white and some
yellow silk. The consul understands
that the silk has been made into hand
kerchiefs. A copy OF the report, to.
gethcr with a specimen Of silk which
accompanied 1t, was referred to the
department Of agriculture. The en-
tomologist snys that silk produced in
this way cannot be nude valuable
commercially because of the trouble
some necessity Of keeping the spiders
separated to prevent their devourlng
each other. Their food being insects,
this also involves considerable labor
In supplying them. attempts to utilize
the silk OF n Madagascar spider of the
same species some years ago resulted
in the discovery TINT the product was
more expensive than ordinary silk

Town Named For Rats

r. J. Sharpe admits that Rat Port
age, the name OF his home city in On
tarlo, is not euphonious.
"But it is unique" he adds. "The
town was named for just what the
words convey, a portage FOR rats. It
Is on the Winnipeg river, just below
the outlet Of the Lake Of the Woods.
Long ago. before the country was set
tied as 1t is now, there was n portage
Mt the point where the town is built
for the thousands of muskrats that
passed from the river to the lake in
winter and back again to the river in
spring. At the outlet Of the lake there
Is a waterfall 10 or 90 feet nigh that
the rats could not pass over, so they
went around, making the portage.
Well, that was before my time, but I
have heard old timers tell Of seeing the
rats by thousands taking days to the
portage. ."-Denver Republican.
