Baccarat.

Baccarat is a very simple game. The
dealer and each side of the table have
two or three cards. The object is to
get as near nine as possible, and tens
and court cards do not count. If the
two first cards dealt do not together
amount to five. the player asks for an
other. If above five, he does not. The
sole question in doubt is whether a
player whose two cards together make
five ought to draw third card or not.
Because of this doubt it has been ruled
by French courts that baccarat is not a
game of chance, and yet it is a mathe-
NAUTICAL certainty that either the
chances of lettering the hand are i'm
proved by drawing third card or d.
minished. Considering. therefore, the
large sums that are risked at this game,
it is somewhat curious that no one has
ever taken the trouble to work out the
probabilities.

The Fire Gods Wrath.

A curious story comes to us from the
suburbs. A resident in the near neigh
borhood of London has museum in
his house in which the principal curl
osity is a fire god which has been wor.
SHIPPED for many centuries in an Indian
temple. Once when the owner of the
house took party of people to look al
the museum he proposed in fun that
they should all kotow to the image
This they all laughingly consented tC
do, all except two ladies, who declared
it was wicked. The fire god was re
yenged within two months. One of the
ladies had her house burned to the
ground the week after, and the Other
one on Il later date fell backward into
the fire and sustained some terrible
burns We give the tale without com
ment--London Chronicle.

The board has raised the salaries OF
all the deputy county officers $40 per
month. This will increase the county
expense 5000 per year hereafter. So
long as day labor commands from ST. SO
to 50. so per day we see nothing very
extravagant however in this raise to
500 per month for the deputies. The
REVIEW does not intend to criticise
the board unfairly and in this matter
it has no particular objection to offer.
When the REVIEW does criticise the
actions OF the board the people may
know that it thinks, at least, that it
has honest grounds for so doing.

CHAMBERLAlN's MISSION.

His Visit to South Africa.

His Visit to South Africa.
The determination Of Joseph Cham
berlain, colonial secretary of Great
Britain, to visit South Africa and see
with his own eyes the exact state of
affairs there has aroused much discus
sion in England and has centered the
eyes of John Bull on this most original
and versatile statesman.
1t is bold step of Mr.. Chamber
lain's to thus depart from precedent
and tradition. 1t dislocates the consti-
tutional machine by temporarily re-
moving a secretary of state from his
Office and from parliament. The SEES
sion of 1903, though it may be post
poned, is pretty sure to begin before
the month of March, but the disloca-
ton of the machine is of very small i'm
portance when compared with the
peace and prosperity of South Africa,
and the practical Inconvenience in Eng
land will be very small.
Mr.. Chamberlain will go to South
Africa in the most magnificent Of the
kings ships, ship fttingly named the
Good Hope and presented to the EN-
pire by Cape Colony itself. The secre-
tary's hope, after personal inyestiga-
ton, is to do the empires great task OF
