MONTE CARLOS PENSION LIST
small Sums Paid to Persons Who
Have Lost Their Fortunes IL
the Casino.

Monte Carlo. the most famous gam
bling place in the world, has very curl
Gus pension list. Here are inscribed
The names of the men and women who
have lost their fortunes at the tables,
and who are allowed small sums daily
for the rest of their miserable lives.
This practice, says the Ledger Month
ly, which was inaugurated by Pere
Blanc in his paternal care for the
decaves, is also being dropped as the
pensionnaires die out. The pensions
now paid range from one to eight dol
lars day, according to the amount
which has been lost at the tables and
the social position of the recipient.
For instance, a tall Scotchman who is
familiar figure upon the Promenade
des Anglais in Nice, receives two louis
(about eight dollars) per day. He lost
a million and quarter at roulette. He
has still a small income, and the bank,
therefore, considers his pension suff-
cient to keep this broken vessel from
coming to the ground. If one could go
through the whole list, what a story
might be written anent each item!
There is no hope of the casino being
closed, not even during the summer;
but if people would only restrain their
passion for gambling for another five
years, as they showed themselves
capable of doing during the winter of
'96 and '97, the dividend will come out
zero, and the bank will be broken, not
IN name only, but also in deed.

TRICKS OF MONKEY TRAINER.
Chicago Dealer in the Animals Tell,
How His Imitators Come
to Grief

II had couple of imitators last
fall" said Chicagoan who made
business of furnishing monkey aero
nauts for country fairs and street
shows, reports the Chronicle, "but
they came to grief, and as result the
monkey market is pretty stiff. These
fellows lessened the visible supply by
considerable number of the simians,
who lost their lives by dropping from
a perilous height. The secret of nv
business is the naturalness with
which the monkey hangs to the ira
peze-bar of the balloon or parachute
alta ched to it.
Last summer I explained that the
trick was easy, that the monkey would
never let go nut in his hand and as
long as he gripped it with the hand
thrust through a manacle attached
to the bar he maintained an acrobatic
attitude. | said the other arm was
held down by a bandage and the monk
could not reach the nut with his
other hand. A few slick fellows got
some monkeys and started in opposi-
ton"
''Why should not the trick work for
them?" inquired a listener
They forgot that the monks feet
are as serviceable as his hands, and
the care of that part of the simian's
anatomy they lost some high-priced
animals"

MODERN CHINA MONOGRAMS.
Distinctive Mark Is the Present Style
in Marking the Sets of g.
Household,

Much of the handsome china used
nowadays is marked with the mono
gram or crest of the owner. 1t is a
distinctive mark that differentiates
the china from all other ware, and
the lettering is an ornament in it.
self. 1t is usually the more simple
china that is ornamented in this
way, and an attempt is made always
to put the lettering upon the side or
wing Of a plate, as the professional
will say, to prevent wear. Old-time
china was frequently marked in the
center of the plate, and the marking
was worn away by the knife and
fork, says the New York Tribune
In some instances entire sets of
china for different courses are
marked, and always each piece of
dish-the cover, the dish itself, and,
If a soup tureen, the piece upon
which it rests. The letters for the
marking are always the initials of
the mistress of the house and are
put on in script in preference to the
block letters. The lettering is usual
ly in gold, but occasionally one let
ter will be put in in color and the
others in gold.
The gold may be fiat or raised, and
upon this will depend largely the
cost of the lettering The fat gold
will cost six dollars dozen and up
ward and the raised gold from SIS to
$18 dozen and upward.

SPOON COLLECTING THE FAD.
Women Have Escorts Take Them
from Restaurants-A Proprte-
tors Ideas.

81 don't object to fads on princi-
ple," said the proprietor of a fash
ionable Broadway restaurant to a re-
porter for the New YorA Times the
other day, "but there is one in vogue
now that / would like to see run it's
course and give way to one which
respects the rights of property. The
young women Oh this town have
craze for collecting restaurant
spoons. They don't care for them at
all, unless they bear the mark of the
house from which they were flched.
No, they won't take them themselves.
The average young woman, all re-
ports to the contrary notwithstand
ing, is timid when in pubic dining
room. They simply intimate to their
gentlemen acquaintance that they
appreciate such things and the men
they do the rest.
81 can't say how many I have lost
from good customers whom | couldn't
call down even if I were to catch
them red-handed. The customer of
place like this is likely to be worth
several hundred dollars in the course
of year, and a few spoons more or
less would not cut down our profits
to any large extent, but the practice
is annoying, and for that reason more
than any other I would like to see it
abandoned.
'Say, I knew one young fellow who
couldn't steal even to please his best
girl. What do you suppose he did?
He went and had lot of spoons es-
pecially stamped with the names of
different restaurants and gave them
to her one at time. She undoubted-
ly has large collection, but I have
often wondered since / heard about 1t
if she would set as much store by
them as she does if she were to be
informed that the donor came by
them hnnaSt1uS

The main trouble with Governor La
Toilette is that he does not appreciate his

ecute the laws passed by the legislature

should not, thus assuming to be a die
tator to his fellow servants Of the people
"a position to which he had not been

1t was not known at the time whether
the retainer was not large enough, or

HOGS CATCHING FISH.
warrington Farmers Must Keen
Their Swine Away from Rivers Be-
cause of Their Liking for Salmon.

Open every day

In the state of Washington, as all
school boys and girls doubtless know,
are the greatest salmon fisheries in
America. Every spring the swift
mountain streams are fairly alive
with these beautiful reddish yellow
fish (three and four feet in length
and weighing often 25 and 80 pounds),
as they go up the river to deposit their
eggs in the headrwaters of the noun
tain streams. Then in the early fall
they come down again. 1t is during
these two seasons that what is known
as the salmon run is at it's full height,
and this is the time to which the Wash
ington boys look forward to all the
rest of the year.
But the queerest fishers are neither
Indians nor boys, says an exchange
of that state. They are hogs. So
fond are the hogs of this delicacy,
which costs the people of London one
dollar a pound, that the farmers who
have pastures along the rivers have
great trouble fencing the farms so
that the hogs cannot get into the
streams. Mr.. Hog, wades in. or, swims
in, according to the depth of the
stream, and then watches for the
salmon. The salmon swims along I'M
suspectingly. Mr.. Hog is ready for
him. Quick as flash he fastens his
greedy jaws abort the great fish and
carries him ashore, there to devour
him with the greatest relish. Then
back he slips into the water to watch
for the next traveller along that way.
He will keep this up until his huns
ger is satisfied. This indulgence ruins
the hog for pork, however, as it gives
it "fishy" taste, and no one will buy
1t. That is the reason the farmers
keep their hogs as far from the
streams as possible.
