SALAMANDER MINERS.

| In many places in the extreme south- ] ern states, especially in what is locally known as the 'piney woods" one of the most notable features is the constantly recurring mounds of yellow sand which everywhere dot and, il must be con fesssed disfigure the monotonous land scape. These piles of earth are usually nearly circular in form, fairly symmet- rical in contour, from six inches to two feet in diameter, and, save where they havo been beaten down by rain or winds or the trampling of cattle, about half as high as they are broad.
 Often these heaps are pretty evenly distributed, sometimes so thickly as to cover at least one-fourth Of the soil sur face, says Appleton's Popular Science Monthly. If you ask native the cause of this singular phenomenon, which you will perhaps at first be disposed to con- slider a kind of arenaceous eruption which has somehow broken out on the face of nature, your informant will sen tentiously reply: "Salamanders!"
 All this disagreement is indeed the work of curious little rodent popular ly so named and about the size and col or of an ordinary rat. He is never seen above ground if he can possibly help it. He digs innumerable branching under ground tunnels at depths varying from one to six feet, and these mounds of sand arc simply the dump heap," which, in his engineering operations, he finds # necessary to make.
 After carrying the excavated earth to the surface this cautious little miner takes the greatest pains to cover up his tracks. No opening into his burrow is left. How he manages to so carefully smooth over his little sand mound and then literally pull the hole in after him is as yet unexplained.-C Daily Chronicle

1 were agreed that ''the player should ! not risk his money except at the instant prescribed by the maturity of the chance" Casanova at Ak in Savoy in a game of faro in Which> he held the bank against Charles James Fox, Eng land's most noted amateur gamester and two friends, won q great sum through his loyalty to this maxim. Fox and his friends, after a continued series of wins, placed all their winnings, their original capital and large letter of credit on the ace. Casanova, although it meant ruin to him had he lest, accepted the play because previous runs of the cards
 made him believe that the chance was about to mature in his favor. Turn af- ter turn of the cards followed until only twelve remained in the pack and yet no ace, Two more deals ensued and eight
 cards were left. The four aces were
 among these. One more turn and Casa nova had Won
 This game is not conclusive of the in-
 falllblllty of the maturity of the chance,
 but when taken in conjunction with
 numerous others where Casanova won very large sums, throughout long and
 successful gambling career, it is to be
 presumed that he based his system of play and risked his money on something more tangible than on mere luck. Car cia followed a similar method with such success that when he started in for seri- ous play at Baden Baden, the shares of the Prlvilegirte Bank immediately de- clined from 10 to 25 per cent in value.
 Life insurance offers the most eXtend- ed and practical application of the ethics of the maturity of the chance There the tendency of the maturity chances of death to bunch" or to ap- pear in larger proportion in so many thousands is provided for. For twenty years the ratio of deaths to the thou
 sand may be largely in excess of the average, but in the succeeding forty years they may be so much less than the normal that the loss in the first in- stance is more than compensated for in the second. It is this accumulation of matured chances at unexpected inter- vals that confounds the gambler and makes of any but q phenomenal genius in games of hazard firm believer in wild and unreaeoning luck.
 In modern warfare the exact number of small arm cartridges that are eXpend- cd in each engagement ie known; there- fore it is easy to compute how many bullets must be fired to wound or kill a single man, If a commanding gener- al exposes himself fearlessly to the ene- my's fire throughout a series of actions; then after certain number of bullets are fired in his direction his chance of being killed or wounded comes under the designation of mathematical prob- ability. In other words he is simple equation in the maturity of the chance New York Sun.

Work of the Connecticut Bible Society
 in Hartford.
 The Connecticut Bible society has be- gun a house-to-h house canvass in Hart ford city and will carry out work there similar to that executed in New Haven last year. A canvass of the town of Ellington is to be made at the same time with the Hartford work
 The Rev. Henry B. Roberts, the new secretary of the Bible society, has the enterprise in charge. His assistants are the Rev Henry l.. Hutchins of New Haven and the Rev. James A. Towle, also of this city. Both of these gentle men are experienced canvassere. MT Towle is fapiliar with the Italian Ian guage and has worked with much suc- cess in New Haven among the Italian population. MT. Hutchins is an old Vale man and has occupied pulpits in New Haven and Hartford. He has been connected with the Bible society work for a long time. The canvassers will ascertain the religious statjetics of the city and the church preferences of the people who are visited. Neighbor- hood meetings will be held and an at- tempt will generally be made to in- crease the religious interest in the com munity Similar work has been done in Winsted and Torrington.

ART AND MONEY IN ENGLAND.
What the Trrepressible George Moore
 Thinks About Them.

What the Trrepressible George Moore Thinks About Them
 It Is impossible to write plays in Eng land except for money, and all that is done for money is mediocre. It was with the Renaissance that money came into art. The Greeks did not build the Parthenon for money, nop did the French build Chartres cathedral for money; the recompense in either case was the joy of art, and as money en-
 tered into art the work of the artist
 slipped out Of bis control into that of the mob. It took four centuries to ac- complish this change; we had to wait four hundred years for a world fash tened according to the image and like ness of the mob, and now in all save the individual arts, such SIS lyric poetry and easel pictures the face of the mob IS plainly stamped. The decorative arts, architecture and mural painting. inlai1 furnitra painted porcelain and metal work have so declined that no one buys them as they are made now, and the most ordinary people have come to un- derstand that they must buy eighteenth century china, and that one thousand pounds will not buy a design for clock that is not an old one, or copy of an old one, nor design for chair. or sofa, or a pair of candlesticks The mob has become rich, and it imposes it's tastes, and those who are not of the mot retire more and more into the past, As life becomes more numerous and rich 1t becomes more garish and vulgar
 But though the modern handicrafts appeal to ten times as numerous a GUS tom as did the beautiful work of the eighteenth century. still their custom is relatively small compared to that from which the dramatic writer suffers So it is to dramatic writing we must look to discover the depths to which an art can sink when it is written and pro- duced at the mutual dictation of the galley boy, who for a shilling demands the oblivion of his days work and tho stockbroker, who for ten shillings six psnce demands such amusement as will enable him safely to digest his dinner. All who write for the English stage must write practically at the dictation of these two.-George Moore in the Fortnightly Review.

Judge Clark, of the North Carolina
supreme court, had to open court at
Oxford one winter. When he got to
Henderson he found a deep snow on
the ground, and the railroad from that
place to Oxford in those days did not
run in such weather. So the judge set
out in a buggy, with a driver whose
customers had Heretofore been COM
mercialo tourists. He took the Judge
for a drummer, and tried to beguilc
the tedium by talking over the hard
ware line. Not finding him exactly
well posted on that he took up the
dry goods business. Not doing much
better with that he successfully tried
him on notions, groceries, liquors and
Others. Having exhausted all the
Zines" he could think of, he finally
asked: "You are q drummer, are you
not?" 'Yes," said the Judge, Il am
somewhat in that line well, what
is your line?" said the driver. aI am
a drummer for the state peniten-
tiary." The driver, saying to himself,
half aloud: 'You are the first one in
that line that ever came along here,''
drove the rest of the way in silence.
When the conveyance drove up to the
hotel in Oxford the landlord ran out
to greet his guest. When the driver
heard his passenger called Judge" the
point dawned on him, and he dashed
around the house, scattering a cloud
of snow with his wheels-N. " Trib-

people Of Paris are applauding her
generosity, and making elaborate
preparations for the, dedication, of the
new building which she has made pos
sible. The dedication ceremonies will
occur on May 4, and will be presided
over by the archbishop Of Paris, Car
dinal Richard.
This new home of French charity,
so rapidly nearing completion, is plain
in design, but it is a plainness that is
beautiful, According to the ground
plan the chapel is 100 feet in length
by 65 in width. The whole is divided
into two distinct parts-the chapel,
with its special adjuncts, and the edi-
ices allotted to the Sisters in whose
charge it win be placed.
The center Of the facade is com
posed of a medallion upheld by two
angles, symbolizing Faith and Char
ity.
The front Of the building opens
upon the Rue Jean-Goujon, and the
dome, which is as tasteful as it is
bold in design, is surmounted by the
statue of the Virgin, which has just
been unveiled.
Great Importance attaches to the
sculpture within and without the
monument. NM. Holm and Caillioq
have been responsible for the details.
In the somewhat scanty space of the
chapel interior are placed subjects
representing women mourning near
a tomb. Four children, representing
Death, the Resurrection, Destiny and
Hope, are supported on the super
structure. In the middle Of the choir
is placed the imposing statue of Our
Lady Of the Seven Sorrows, 16 feet in
height, opening her arms Of consola-
ton in all human sadness.

CHOCOLATE IN MANILA,
Use in the Presence of the
Purchasers!

In Manila they make your chocolate
while you wait. Right into the house a
Chinaman comes with his basket and
rolls the crushed cacao bean and
sugar, and then makes a supply of
chocolate that is sweeter and more
palatable and cheaper than the com.
mercial brand sold in the Chicago
stores.
When the Chinaman comes he lays
aside his hat and shirt. and, stripped to
the waist and barefooted, he begins his
work. In the basket is the chocolate or
cacao bean, from which the rancid oil
has been extracted and which oil long
ago has anointed the hair of some Fill
Pine belle or lighted some Filipino
home. The beans first come on the
board bitter and brackish. With q roll
ingpin the Chinaman grinds them into
a fine powder. This takes time. When
it is done, he opens another basket and
dips out the sugar for the sweetening
and the final mixture. The sugar is
what would probably grade coffee &C"
if it were in commercial circles. Like
the bean, it grows on the island. In
dustriously the Chinamnn rubs, and
gradually the chocolate forms on the
bottom of the board and drips of in
sticky sweetness into the basket be-
meath. The family gathers about to
sample the product and the Chinaman
stops to smoke a cigarette while judg-
ment is being passed. Cups of. the bev-
erage are handed around and all
"taste," If it is not sweet enough the
manufacturer throws more sugar on
his board and drops in another pinch
Of vanilla and cinnamon for the havor-
ing. When it is right he goes to work
and for several hours rubs away at his
task. The deposit below the rollingr
pin is a brown substance that is soft
and moist, while above it is to all ap-
pearances'a dry powder and sugar The
little ones gather about, and if there
is an older daughter, perhaps she sits
down on the floor in front of the China
man and watches the growing pile.
Such was the case in the house of a
Spaniard the other day when I called.
The young lady sat there and idly
watched the manufacturer of the edi-
bic, and whe1l a little brother came she
took his head in her lap and he Law
there with her, watching the brown
skinned Chinaman rub ana rub the
