ENGLISH CLUB RULES.
The Playing for Money IL n Practice
That Is often INDUCED In
In London.

From the printed rules and regula-
tons of the proposed Anglo-Amer-
lean club, which is in process Of
formation, it would appear that the
conditions of club life on the other
side of the Atlantic are somewhat
different from those which obtain in
American cities. We imagine the
rules and regulations of this new
club are substantially those which
are in force in number of leading
English clubs, but they indicate that
the playing of games for money is
o practice much more generally re-
sorted to In English than in Amer
lem clubs. Not that it is by any
means unknown with us, only it is
not made so much of feature in
club life, says the Boston Globe.
Thus under the card and billiard
rules" 1t Is said that cashier will
be appointed whose duty 1t will be
TO make up accounts daily and to
settle the card and billiard accounts
between members. This cashier IL
bound to report to the secretary of
the club the name Of any member
who has omitted to leave his account
after playing. All cards and billiard
debts incurred In the club must be
settled through the cashier, and no
member may make ready-money pay
mcnts for card accounts. Winners
and losers are equally required to put
nj ,nt 60 ha I,I
for the purpose before leaving the
eardroom. The card accounts are to
be ready for inspection at six p. IN.
on the day following the day they
were incurred, and on each Monday
between two p. IN. and eight p. IN.

MANS INsIGNIFICANCE.
Dnwns Upon Him When He Ii
Brought Face TO Face with the
wonders of Nature

occasionally we are forcibly re-
minded Of incidents in our lives which
forever retain a place in our mem
ory," remarked a man who has trav-
eled much, to friend in Detroit, ac-
cording to the Detroit Free Press.
"Such Incidents" he continued,
many times serve useful purpose
and teach "a lesson that has benefi-
cial effect on our whole lives.
II experienced such a sensation
once, and | assure you the effect or
IL is still with me, although the Incl
dent occurred several years ago. A
friend and myself we're travelling
through the mountains of Colorado.
The scenery, as you are well aware,
is magnificent in it's sublimity. At
point along the route, between the
stations, the train stopped to enable
the engineer to make some repairs
on the locomotive. We were in q
mighty canyon when the delay oc-
Cured, and, as the conductor in
formed us that considerable time
would elapse before the train pro-
ceeded, the passengers strolled about
admiring the scenery.
Finally we came to an immense
assure in the rocky wall towering
high above our heads. Nature at
some period, in q moment of caprice,
perhaps, had rent this huge mass Of
granite in twain almost. Some one
suggested that we enter the aperture
and investigate. We did so, my friend
and | leading the way. We walked
for several minutes, laughing and
chatting pleasantly with the other
tourists, and then forged ahead Of
our comrades and suddenly found
ourselves alone.
1.-THE silence was intense. We had
penetrated so far into the cavern that
the light Of the opening was lost to
us. Our strange position appealed
forcibly to both Of us, and carried
with it the thought as to what would
happen to us if there should be an
other upheaval affecting this mass
of rocks while we stood within its
center.
"Hurriedly cropping our way back
to the sunlight and the presence of
our companions, we took a mental
inventory of our impressions when
we found ourselves standing alone in
the mighty cavern, and we both agreed
that all feelings had died away at
the time save those of awe and the
utter insignificance of man. / have
never forgotten the experience, and l
doubt very much if my companion

RICH FIND IN WISCONSIN.
Valuable Deposits of Asbestos Said
TO Have been Discovered Near
stevens Point.

The recent discovery OF what APP
peared to be an inexhaustible deposit
Of asbestos in a tract OF land in prox.
unity to Stevens Point, Wis, will no
doubt in the very near future result
in bringing Stevens Point again into
prominence as the market center for
another product. A company is now
being formed to secure control of the
land on which the mineral is located,
with the view Of developing the mine
and placing the product on the mar
ket.
Asbestos consists chiefly Of silica,
magnesia, lime and oxide Of iron II is
Of three general varieties, known IA
rock-cork, rock-leather and rock wood
The local deposit is Of the latter va
riety. In fact, for long time the
owner Of the land thought that the

his farm were fragments Of petri1ed
wood. IT is white in color and pre-.

TRAITS OF THE CHINESE
tranquility and EQuipoise Two Of
Their Strongest characteristics
Never Waste Energy.

In Woman's Home Companion
Madame Vsu Ting Fang, wife of the
Chinese ambassador, writes as fol-
lows about her countrymen:
1T is not to be denied that my
people are not SO progressive or ag-
gressive as are the Americans. We
are ready to acknowledge that we
can learn much from our Jealous Oc-
cidental cousins, but, and with all
due respect to you, we think that
there may be some things that you
may learn with profit from US. |
think of this sometimes when / men
tally compare your nervous, rushing,
never-resting nation with my own
less strenuous one. The rush of west
crn life is in the very atmosphere
the American breathes. 1t greets
the traveller before he puts his foot
upon your shores. His baggage is
seized and checked for his hotel be-
fore he leaves the steamer; the mo-
ment he lands he is hurried into
cab and whirled away to his lodg-
ings. From his windows there he
sees men going through the streets
at speed that would be employed in
China only in a case of life or death.
Everywhere is he impressed with the
nervous haste which appears to be
the predominating motive of all
classes of society.
Now, in my country the very OPP
posite of this obtains. There is an
equipoise, tranquility and patience
about the people, which may be at
tributed to lack of enterprise, but
which adds UNNECESSARILY to the COM
fort of their daily lives. 1t is said
that as a nation we are without
nerves; and while this statement may
be exaggerated, yet it is undoubtedly
true that the Oriental races are not
of the nervous temperament. This
absence Of nerves is an inherited con-
dition. A Chinese baby drinks in re-
pose of character with his mothers
milk. If you doubt this, look at our
infants in arms. They never wrig-
gle and s.uirm with restlessness, as
DO the American babies. And this
disposition remains with them
through life. A Chinaman never
wastes his energy. He takes things
deliberately; he does not get ner-
vous over his work, and this lack
of nerves enables him to sleep under
almost any circumstances or in al
most any place. TO him the Ameri-
can Impotence is unaccountable. He
reasons that Impotence and hurry
but make one uncomfortable, and
why should anyone do anything so
unnecessary as to make himself I'M
comfortable? No, he prefers the
even tenor of his way, even if that
way is not all that could be desired"

GIVES PATENTS TO WORLD.
Inc Turbine to Public Hoping Per-
fec+tIon VIII he Attained.

Col. John Jacob Aston has given to
the world his patents on marine tur-
bines. Although he might have en-
joyed monopoly Of them for 17years,
he has formally turned over his inven-
tions for public use.
Col. Astor makes his announcement
in the current issue of the Scientific
american in the form Of letter to the
editor Of that publication, in which he
says:
"All my patents on marine turbines
having been granted, hereby dedicate
them to the public, in the hope that
the development Of the ideal turbine
may be FASTENED thereby"
AS yet no engine has been built to
utilize Col. Astor's patents, but en-.
gineers and critics express themselves
as sharing the belief that his theories
will work out practically.
Col. Astor's invention contemplates
twin screws, set tandem instead Of
side by side, and revolving in opposite
directions. In his letter he gives This
description Of his turbine:
"The turbine is shaped like funnel
and comprises an outer shell or drum
and an inner shaft running axially
through II, these parts being relative
~ rotabie and each having opposite
~ set spiral blades. The steam is nd
United into the outer shell at the small
end and passes through the turbine,

veniently high is cut in half Asare-
suit Of this construction the weight is
reduced practically"

CONCERNING MEMS COATS.
Tailor Gives Some Valuable Sug-
gestions Regarding the Wear
and Care of Garments.

"NoW that the overcoat season is
on again." said an uptown tailor in
the course of a conversation on the
care of clothes, reports the New York
Times, zone sees the utter inability
of the average man to properly wear
and care for lis garments. Jackets
may be worn anyhow without much
detracting from their owners ap-
pearance, but overcoatS, Like frock
coats, require care in handling and
in wearing. Not one man in a thou
sand knows how to put on his coat
correctly. ignorance and careless
ness in disposing of the garment when
not in use make the wearerS of even
the best coats look like 80 cents
beside the man with a cheaper article,
but who knows how to wear and care
for it.
MEN curse their tailors when after
few days wear they find their coats
out of shape at the shoulders and
hanging badly. The art of the tailor
has, of course, a great deal to do with
the appearance of coat, but on the
customer himself much more depends.
Most men when they are being
measured and lifted assume all sorts
of unnatural postures. They forget
that what they really want is gar
ment to fit their ordinary shape and
not the forced figure which they pre-
sent Ia the tailor.
Then, again, when the new coat
comes home the owner tugs it on any
how and wears it Tapping open.
Every new coat should be carefully
nodded by the wearer into the shape
of his everyday figure. He should
get his shoulders we'll into it, and, in
order to arrive at that result, he
should have assistance on at least the
first six occasions on which he wears
the garment. The coat should be
carefully buttoned downward, not
the reverse, as is so often the case.
For at least one hour on each of the
first six days of use the coat should
be kept buttoned. 1t will then have
adjusted itself to the peculiarities OF
the figure"

MT. Howells Begs for Mercy.

Harpers Monthly.
 MT. Howells, albeit one of the most ami able and patient of successful authors. has been obliged to plead for mercy from several classes of correspondents; first, those young authors who vainly imagine that he pronounces editorially upon their MSS, and. worse still. ask him to devote his already loo scant leisure time to giving them his opinion and advice; secend, autograph seekers, who ask for his signature. but who won't send a stamped and directed envelope containing a card to receive his autograph; and third, those kind and appreciative people who ask him to lecture, teach exhort, or pray in public, none of which Mir Howells upon any pretext whatsoever. nowadays ever does. As matter of fact, Mir. Howells Is sorry that he cannot accede to every request of his friends; but just in much the same way as quart measure cannot hold a gallon, so is 1t impossible for an already overworh- cd author to perform at the same time his labor and the larger la bor of those many obliglng actions toward which h,t nrcliration leads him.
