DREW THE LINE ON JACK POTS
Conscience of Theological Student Has
Sudden Awakening.

Conscience of Theological Student Has
sudden Awakening.
At certain university in this state
the game of hearts has been exceed
ingly popular among the students the
last winter. A group Of them, accus-
toned to meet in one of the fraternity
houses to play. included a theological
student, who, although a member of
one of the stricter denominations, did
not find 1t against his conscience to
be an ardent devotee of the game,
which, however-at least when he
made one of the party-was' never
played for money. Even when chips
were introduced for counters, as be-
ing an easier method of keeping score
than the tiresome tally with pencil and
paper, the theologue did not balk
But there came an evening VIXEN
his sense of the fitness of things re-
ceived rude shock. The pile of
chips in the middle of the table had
reached rather large proportions, and
one of the players, inspired by de-
sire to make the prospective winnings
still more worth while, remarked:
Lets have the next jackpot"
The effect of these words on the
theological student was electrical. He
knew of their being associated with
only one game, and that scarcely to
be mentioned in highly moral circles.
"A jackpot" he exclaimed mechani-
cally. Then | guess I'm through with
this game" and he rose and walked
out. No amount of explanations or
apologies was sufficient either to re-
instate hearts in his approval New

GRIM OLD NEWaATE PRISON.
Scene of Much Crime and Misery Com
demned to Destruction.

Grim, forbidding old Newgate
prison, which in the course of its CEN
fury and half OF existence has housed
so many men and women condemned
to destruction, has been condemned to
destruction itself so many times and
still remained undisturbed in all its
ugliness and dinginess that it would
not be surprising If any further an
nouncement of the historic prisons

polite incredulity similar to that
which greeted the young mans cry

However such an announcement
decided definitely that the long-de-
ferred destruction and rebuilding of
the famous Jail shall begin May "a. AL

famous court house which adjoins

other criminals almost as famous

NEW TRANsvAAL STAMPS.
Kings Head Replaces Boer Legend
Orange River Coat of Arms.

While peace negotiations were
pending in South Africa, the new
colonial government went ahead Just
as il the war was over and the terri
tory already at peace. The Trans
vaal government issued set of post
age stamps, which are in great de-
mand by collectors. There are ten va
rieties, each of different color, rang
ing in price from one cent to $3.50.
All of the stamps bear the head of
King Edward, facing to the left, in
an oval within finely beaded frame,
in gray black. Above the head is a
crown and at the foot the word
"Transvaal." The one-cent stamps,
are bluish-green, and the colors of
the others range from scarlet to
orange, olive green and purple.
The British Colonial Office, mean
time, is considering a new coat of
arms design by Lockwood Kipling,
father of the poet and novelist, for
the new Orange River Colony, which
was formerly the Orange Free State.
The coat of arms consists of a plain
heraldic shield bearing an orange tree
and above it Tudor rose; on the
ground are waved lines, the symbol of
water, typifying the name Bloemfon-
tein. Two springboks support the
shield.

EXPLAINS PeLsE's ACTIONS.
Views of Prof. VerrilI on the Recent
Eruption.

Some of the phenomena attending
the destruction of st. Pierre have
been difficult to explain, especially
the sheet of fame that seems to have
accompanied or closely followed the
violent explosion Of gas.
Prof. Verrill of Yale states his view
to be that the heat is sufficient to
cause the dissertation of hydrogen
and oxygen from water coming sud-
denly into contact with the lava in the
crater, and that in the case of sea
water chloride would be ASSOCIATED
from sodium.
These gases suddenly elected with
great violence and exploding in the
air above the crater would produce
the effects manifested on so great a
scale at Martinique.
The people were killed by the sud-
den explosion of vast volume of
hydrogen and oxygen: and this ac-
counts for the sudden burning of flesh
and clothes. as well as of buildings
and of vessels in the roadstead.
The chlorine combining with some
of the hydrogen would produce hydro
chloric acid, which is poisonous and
suffocating and would quickly kill all
those not destroyed by the first ex.
plosion.

RELATIONS STILL STRAINED.
Little Incident in Church Did Not
Tend to Unite Lovers.

Growing out of a Misunderstanding
IN a figure in the german, strained re-
lations existed between Miss Guard
and Carruthers. Next morning in
church. Carruthers was thinking over
the situation, planning some delicate
means of modifying his sweet foe.
While mentally perfecting the details
OF the scheme, he felt an insect on
the back of his neck.
Steadily the thing advanced, and he
could almost feel the touch of each
separate leg as it marched over the
sensitive skin. His first impulse was
to smash the creature then and there,
but he took a momentary pleasure in
seeing how long he could endure the
sensation with mastery stoicism.
At last he made fierce backward
grab for the marauding bug, and
found in his hand the dainty feather.

head had been bent in prayer.

Februarys withou. Full Moon.

A correspondent corrects some err
roneous statements about a month
with no full moon, which appeared
recently in a paragraph quoted from
a Missouri paper. "As a matter Of
fact" he says, "the month OF Febru-
airy. 1886. had full moon, which fell
on the 18th, as reference to the al
manac for that year will show. The
month of February, 1898, however,
had no full moon. nor did that of 1866,
and this Is no infrequent occurrence,
but happens every twenty or thirty
years. The month of February hav-
ing, except in leap year, only twenty
eight days. and the moons phases be-
ing separated by an average period
of twenty-nine days, it OF necessity
follows that in February frequently
only three such phases occur The
phenomena is therefore neither rare
nor of any interest. and the only won
der is who could first have started SO
foolish a story as that no month
without a full moon had occurred
since the creation of the world, nor
would recur again for two and half
million years. "-New York Tribuna

what Made Shakespeare.

Carnegie's view that hard WORK
made Shakespeare the greatest dra-
matte genius" is absurd. The finest
poetic Imagination of modern literf-
ture, which is the foundation Of the
supreme and universal excellence OF
Shakespeare, was not obtained By
hard work." it was a beautiful gin
from God. 1t would be quite as rea-
sonable to say that hard work" made
Homer. the greatest poet of antiquity.
The truth is that Shakespeare prob
ably gave more hard work" to his du.
ties as an actor and a theatrical mana
ger than he ever did to his plays. He
wrote with extraordinary rapidity and
often at kind of fever heat. as did
Byron and Shelley and Keats. Shake
speare was sometimes called upon by
his manager or his company on brief
notice to excise passages, rewrite pas
sages and supply entirely new matter.
Such facility of mind is the gift OF
great natural powers. and can not be
created by hard work"

The swiss Ian guage.

We sometimes hear that the French
language has less vitality than some
others, and it is in particular pointed
out to what an extent it Is giving
way to English and German, says the
London News. Some figures just pub
lished do not, however, bear out this
in the case, at any rate, of Switzer
land, where French, German and
Italian are all spoken. In 1883 the mum
Der of persons speaking German in
the Helvetian republic was 2,0S3, O97:
those speaking French 634,613, ana
those speaking Italian, 155,13O. At the
recent census it was found that the
position had changed considerably.
There are now, according to the on.
cial figures, 2,319.105 persons whose
language is German, 1920 who
speak French, and 222.247 who use
the language of Dante. Certain can
tons appear in particular to be giving
up the use OF German. In Neufchatei.
where formerly $4,000 persons spoke
that tongue, there are now only IL 900.
