Gambling.

GAMBLING.
The writer once spent Saturday
afternoon in the study of dignitary of
the church while the ecclesiastic strug.
gled in vain to frame an argument
against gambling to be presented to the
congregation on the morrow. He aban-
doned the attempt. Far be 1t from q
literary Journal to assert powers the
possession Of which the professionally
religious are fain to disclaim, yet with
submission we even venture to believe
that at least one cogent and effective
argument lies against all forms Of gam
bling one, namely, based on the truth
that wealth, great or small, is trust
and therefore may not be put In risk.
The moralist may declare that the
gambler gets, or ut least wants to get,
something for nothing. Men will laugh.
They know better. The winner gave
his chance to lose for his winnings.
For his losses the winner got his
chance to win. But ask the Spectator
whether he would gamble with trust
funds held by him for orphans and
then suggest to him the one great truth
that is selling hold Of mems conscience,
the most hopeful sign in these perplex-
ed days of social unrest, that men are
trustees of all that they call their own.

Life Insurance.

It is an interesting fact that, what
ever. the reason may be, life insurance
is much more popular in the United
States than in any other country. In
proportion to their numbers the Amer
lean people carry twice as much life
insurance as the Britishers, five times
as much as the Germans and eight
times as much as the French.
This is partly explained by the large
number Of American policies issued to
serve other purposes than mere provi-
sion for the families Of the insured.
The scope of what may be called bust
ness as distinguished from family in
surance is constantly enlarging. A nov
ell and interesting recent development
Of it is the insurance Of the lives of
Protestant ministers for large sums
which are made payable at their deaths
to their churches.-New York World.

EATING FISH.

It Is not good form to ask for sec
ond helping of fish.
It is considered extremely bad form
to use knife in dissecting fish.
A little modern fish knife, with On In
genious fork arrangement on one side,
is now made.
A bit Of lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish, and 1t is in correct form
to use the fingers in expressing the
Juice.
Potatoes are considered q proper &C.
cessory to the fish course.
Sliced cucumbers, with plain French
dressing, are also served.
With q boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits or
scooped out and garnished with little
melted butter and chopped parsley.
Never use the fingers to separate the
bones from the eatable portion of fish.
The bones must be evaded with such
7 dexterity as one can command without
other aid than such as bit of bread
held in the left hand may furnish.
