science Aealnst Gambling.

The republication in English of the famous essay of the great French mathematician, Laplace, on the the ory of probabilities serves to recall the harm that has resulted from lack of general information on this subject. The confirmed gambler and the reckless speculator do not know how continually they fly in the face of the teachings of science. A re- cent reviewer remarks: "If in game of even chances red turns up 20 times in succession, it is still an even chance whether red or black turns up on the twenty-frst time; but no amount of mathematical req soning will enable the gambler to re- Blize that a previous rum of bad luck gives no grounds for the expectation of recovering his losses by a run of good luck in the future.'' It was partly to combat the superstitions of gamblers and others that Lap1ace wrote his essay.-Youth's Compan- ion. f,." ;s,>

 The temples of Happiness gleam- ,S They stand promise forever
 That Heaven is more than dream. We fall in the moments of weakness,
 Borne down by the passion of sin. Acknowledge the error with rneekness
 And strengthen the guard from within. The lusts of the brute we inherit
 Must cower and shrink from the light That flows from the throne of the Spirit
 And shows us the path to the right I know not the kingdom immortal;
 Yet feel in my innermost soul That. Deaths not wall but a portal.
 Through which lies an infinite goal I know not the glory supernal
 Nor paths that the angels have trod; Yet something within Is eternal
 And grows in the sunlight of God know with the wisdom of Sorrow,
 The lessons I've learned by the way; The fruits that we gather tomorrow
 Are grown from the seeds of to-day. Life's page we have plotted, and checkeree No power on earth can restore. We write an indelible record, l
 To blight or to bless evermore. With voices seraphic and tender
 Our loved ones are calling afar. With Night that is golden in splendox
 Truth shines like a mystical star. The veil of the Silence is riven,
 The banner of Hope is unfurled: And Love, through the portals of Heaven.

TOUGH ON BURGLARS
An Eastern Mans Plan for Bagging
 Thieves Without Risk.
Scheme Is Quihe Elaborate and Ar- ranged to Work without e
 Hhtch-Eacape Is Inn oswi-
 bIe, Punis m ent Sure.

In Westchester county, where many burglaries have been committed re- gently. people are asking one another what they would do if they should awaken suddenly some night and find a burglar in the room. The answers do not vary much. One man, however, has, or thinks he has, solved the prob lem, says the New York Sun.
 ''What a burglar fears," he said, "is a noise, so have arranged a scheme that thinkwill work.
 Right in my bedroom is big, healthy 1s-inch gong. It is worked by electricity, and the switch is fas- tened on the inside of the sideboard of my bedstead, out of sight, but very convenient to my hand as lie in the bed., sH@.
 When turn that switch there is a racket right there in the room that is enough to set man crazy, espe. cially in the night time. Just imag- inc that big gong starting it's racket while a poor burglar is gathering up a few trinkets to take away with him as souvenirs. I'll bet it would scare him so. that he'd drop his booty, and his intentions with it, and just light out.
 1 Calculating on this effect, I have arranged a little surprise for burg1a- rious visits. Fastened by it's lower end to one of the banisters at the head of the stairs leading to the parlor floor is 8 stick of oak an inch and half square. At the top it is held in place by a catch such as holds the front door in flat house.
 i When turn on the switch this catch is released and the stick drops straight across the stairway about six inches from the floor, know a burglar will, run if he hears that bell in my room, and want to do some thing for him after he leaves. He will, naturally, rush for the stairsand he

, A. new theory of poetic form has been announced by Professor Ltddcll, says an exchange. Tn substance it
 Is that English poetry consists in re- curccnt impulses of thought CT men, tal energy, rot of sound. Sidney Lanier in his Science of English Verse made it to consist in the rythmical re- currercc of sounds. The truth is taat Ianicr is right for poetry in the ab- stract. for the mere form, and tLiddell has really stated nothing new in that mere formal poetry is not deserving the name There must be the recur- renee of thought, impulse or mertal energy wherever in formal poetry strong and deep thought is adequately expressed. -

HEARD IN PASSING

The position of president is not un- like that of the pedestrian who has to catch train on a sleety morning. He must hurry, but his speed is limited by reasonable fear of the conse- quences of haste; mistakes are pain full, and he has no time to nurse his bruises.
 D'Annunzio proposes to build a the- ater on the shores of Lake Albane, near Rome, which will be ancient in style. Plays will only be produced in spring, 3'when the poetry of nature Is at its zenith" and when one can sit in an open Graeco-Roman theater without catching cold.
 The German newspapers have work ed out that Kipling is an American and Jew. They have also decided that Kiplings poem, " The Rowers,'' D was the cause of Dr von Hollenben's recall from the United States. For scientific muddle and stupid prejudice commend us to the journalists" of Germany.
 Charles M. Schwab has not only bought seaside resort for the poor children of New York city, but has built a $155,O00 steamboat to carry the youngsters to and from their play ground. This boat is. named Happy Day and will be provided with every comfort and convenience for the chil- dren and their attendants.
 German hatred of England is prom, inent in all German illustrated jour- nals. The abuse, the vile islanders the perverted attacks upon the Eng fish people as well as upon British statesmen deserve even harsaler treat. ment than Kipling has so. far given them. Germany lives in glass house in the realms of war and world politics andtshe cannot afford to throw stones. @a trye..t ,-r,s..-.

Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for spratEs and soreness, and she asked him to buy her bottle of it, which he did.

The Cuban reciprocity question is the knottiest one, because of politics and other things that our lawmakers have had to handle in long time. The question at issue, says one writer, is whether the American peopIc, hav- ing emancipated Cuba. set for thcrn- selves the task of making it an Amer .can community, with all which that implies, or will they leave CIba a Spanish-American community to re- trogade to the condition of Hayti? The real prosperity of a people de- pends far more upon their industry than upon their politics, and their pol itics is largely important for the bear ing which 1t has upon their industry. The welfare of every man is bound up with that of his neighbor; the well fare of every community Is bound mp with that of it's neighboring commun- ity. If we attach Cuba to us by com mercial ties, if we extend our arterial system to her, so that the life blood of commerce will flow freely back and
 forth between her and America, Amer ican capital will go to Cuba, Ameri- cans will migrate there, the population
 will increase in number and improve in quality, the same transformation
 will effected there that was effected in Louisiana, and there will not be slavery to retard the process.

The coal situation is something

The coal situation is something more than deplorable; it is a distinct threat to our system of government. The operators have been harsh and unjust to the men, the men have been forced to take extreme measures, the dealers have undoubtedly preyed up- on the sufferings and necessities of the public, and the state and national officials have been afraid to touch the combination. A remedy must be found, and found before another win ter, or there will be more and worse suffering than the pinch of cold.

quaint Idea of Farmfnx.

Lord Chesham's daughter, Hon. lie 1ah Constance Cavendish, enthusias- tical1y carries out a quaint idea in farming. She has made hobby of what is known as her Black Farm in Buckingham. Here Miss Chesham keeps black cattle, black horses, black dogs, a black cat, etc; in fact, every animal to be seen on the farm is black. The country folk are much interested in the young lady's hob. by, and standing joke among them is that Miss Cavendish has everything black except her dairymaids.--Lon- don Mail.

WON'T LAND ON HIS FEET.

s q . won't be particular to examine the way to find out if it is as he left it when he came up.
 Imagine him, then, rushing in terror from my room and meaning to escape by way of the stairs. He's sure tc bring up with his shins against that stick. When he does I'll bet he won't go down the stairs on his feet. Ot course, I am not anxious to hurt him but if he will place himself in a bad position must do the best I can fo1 ly not useful member.
 i If the burglar lands on his feet, which is not likely, or is spry and well enough after he. strikes the parlo1 floor. to jump up and run before can get to the top of the stairs he is all right and safe enough, for all of me If, however, I can get him at a dis advantage will try to have him put where he will not commit anot ther bur- glary for some time, and this is how I propose to accomplish that trick. : ''1n one corner of my bedroom l keep a double-barreIed shotgun. It is always loaded and ready for use. ! My intention is, when I have scared any burglar with the sound of the big bell, to jump from my bed, grab the shotgun and reach the head of the stairs as soon as he reaches the bot tom. At my door is another switch which will turn on the electric light in the hall at the. foot of the stairs. I intend to turn this and let the poor fellow see where he lands, if he cares to look.
 "But the light will show me also where he lands while myself will be in semi-darkness. If I am at the tor of the stairs, where it is not so dark that he cannot see my gun, and he is in bright light, I think the odds will be heavily on my side, especially since he is certain to feel a. little ,discommoded because of his undig nified descent. The probability is that he will be kind enough to heed me if I tell him to stay just where he is while my wife calls the police on the ,telephone." ~ G

A Miracu1ous vauit.

The most interesting place of pill grimage, in Dublin is St. Michan's church, where the organ is still to be seen upon which Handel is said to have composed his Messiah In the graveyard is the last resting place of Robert Emmet, and the vault at St.
 Michan's provides a more gruesome thrill than the morgue. The sexton lifts an iron door and descends few rude steps carrying a light, without which the place would be pitch dark. Kou follow and find yourself in a narrow passage, from which cell-like recesses belonging to different fami- lies branch off. Whether it is owing to the extreme dryness of the sur goundings or to some mysterious property of the place the process of decay has been arrested, and the fea- lures of persons dead for two centu- ries may be recognized from authen- tic portraits. Here lie the brothers Sheares, who were executed for their share in the united Irish conspiracy, side by side almost with the earl of Leitrim, who was murdered about 30 years ago. The earl's ancestors for hundreds of years back rest in the same vault. Perhaps the strongest thing about the vault is the fact that, apart from the weird sensation, there is nothing offensive in the surround ings.-London Tattler.
