is parasitic. 1t qualities young men to

of others. The flowers they send to
their friends, the horses they keep, the
bets they lose are paid for by some
one else. The exorbltant expenditures
Of the student have himself as their
sole object wherein they differ from
those Of almost every other class; they
represent self-indulgence Of the Grass

Arthur Wade was walking home
from his lady loves house one evening
in July. He was one of the lovers
who had been estranged by Alpheus
the previous spring. Tonight he was
gloomy and morose. Alice had shown
a marked coldness that evening and he
remembered how their former trouble
began in just that way.
"Hes up to this old tricks again."
Arthur muttered as he came opposite
the Chubbuck cottage. He frowned
darkly at it and at the hen cart that
showed plainly in the moonlight
He walked ON to The next corner,
where he stopped suddenly. He turned
about and retraced his steps and for
long time he stood looking at the
pink and green hen cart.
"I'll do it," he said at length. eyes,
I'll do it the very first cloudy night"
and with that he walked briskly away.
1t was several mornings later that
when Alpheus, as was his habit, went
to the dining-room window to look out
at his hen cart he gave start of sur

Chose on the Previous Evening.
Somebody had asked a Confederate
veteran in group on the hotel piazza
at a nearby resort whether he had

of death before battle. Yes and no.
he replied. "On the eve Of an engage
ment thousands Of soldiers undoubt-

cases the prescience is bound to come

but your question reminds me-" the
veteran continued, 'of a very curious
experience Of my own. 1t was on the
night before Shiloh and dozen or so
soldiers in my company were talking,
half in jest Of their chance of being
wounded in the battle which we all
knew would take place the next day.

at the sally, and the chatting turned

Now, as to how flies walk upside
down. They do not accomplish the
feat by adherlng to ceilings by means
OF little air pads attached to their
feet, as many suppose, They walk
on the ceiling and on glass by means
of capillary attraction, the operation
Of which is accentuated by means Of
little drops of oil, which eXude from
hairs ON their feet. Every time a fly
walks over a window pane it leaves
behind it a series of tracks, invisible
to the naked eye, perhaps, but COM
posed Of little spots of this delicate oil.
One scientist counted the hairs on q
ny's feet and found on an average Of
between 10000 and 10000, from each
of which flowed the minute specks of
oil. The oil is absolutely necessary to
the fly when walking on a vertical
surface If a pane Of glass should be-
wet or very dusty it would be impos,
sible for the fly to walk over 1t, in the
one case because of the flowing Of the
oil between the hairs Of the feet and
destroying the strength Of the capil-
iary action; in the other because of
the clogging Of the hairs with the dust.
The effort Of the fly to get rid of
dust can be noticed by any one. The
insect will constantly stop and clean
out the hairs on its feet by wiping
them off on the wings, which are pro-
vided with wonderful little stiff hair
brushes for this purpOse.-Boston Her

"Thc old saying that the odds are
against the guesser.' is firmly believed

turlman who prides nself apon hay
Ing reduced betting to mathematical
formula.
The axiom is a good deal deeper
than most people suppose, Taken lit
orally in games Of pure chance, it Is
false; applied to human nature it is
true. Suppose for example that two
men pitch pennies, the chances for
heads and tails are perfectly even,
and it can make no difference which
of the players does the guessing.
Where the guesser appears to have
greatly the worst Of it is in such a
game as faro or roulette. The effort
TO forecast each turn is apt to unsettle
his nerves; he gets irritated and de-
moralzed, makes reckless bets, presses
bad luck, and winds up broke. In
fact, the chief advantage Of system
for gambling is that it saves nerve
force. The bets are placed according
to rule, and the player and the game
are on the same cold mechanical ba-
sis. In playing the races the odds are
seemingly against the guessers,' for
the reason that they are Influenced
by all sorts of hints, tips ana premcni-
tions, mostly wrong. 1t isn't really a
case Of guessing, but a case Of mis-
placed confidence"

of the listeners to the foregoing.
"That depends upon whether you

piled the scientific turfman.
Luck is something that doesn't eX-
list except in real life. The late Profes-
sor Proctor delivered a lecture in Phil
adelphla on the Mathematics of
Chance, and proved conclusively there
was no such thing as luck. Afterward
he took a dice box and attempted to
demonstrate the fact to some sceptical
sports, and went broke in eight min
