MONTE CARLO HAS BLACKLIST.
Many People Barred From PaIatiaI
Gaming Establishment.


It is usually imagined that anyone
may enter the gambling saloons at
Monte Carlo and try his or her luck
at the tables where roulette, trente-
et-qua-rante and baccarat are played.
But the prince of Monaco has made
a rule that no resident in his "domin-
ion" is to be allowed admission, and
the privilege is consequently denied
his people"
The casino authorities decline ad-
mission on their own account to any
person who on previous occasion
may have lost all his money at the
tables and may have had to ask for
financial assistance from them to pro-
cure railway ticket for home.
To secure this money one goes to
the Office of the administration-whic
is at the top of steep staircase-and
after signing sundry documents the
victim has to sit to a photographer.
This Photograph is preserved for fu.
ture reference. and the man who is
on this blacklist has very little
chance of renewing acquaintance with
the gilded saloons until he has repaid
the debt. = FL. s r.

Day of the Muscular Man.

1t would perhaps be extravagant to
say that there never was a time since
the days of King Arthur's round table
when physical strength and health
were so highly regarded as now. But
nevertheless it is a fact not success
fully to be denied that physical cul-
ture during recent years has been
given more than ordinary attention,
and many men who are healthftl and
strong have been remarkably success
full in the various vCcatlons Of active
life. The days OF the fop, the dude, the
lackadaisical dandy are past. The
popular society man nowadays must
be a huntsman, a golfer, a horseman
or famed for some particular athletic
quality.-Kansas City Journal.

AMERICAN OYSTERS TIE BEST.
United States Leads Easily in the Mat

United States Leads Easily in the Mat
ter of Sea FOODS.
In the part of Australia in which l
live we get oysters as big as saucer -
said Mr.. Thomas Lewis of Adelaide, to
the Washington Post. ''They are twice
the size of any l have seen in the
United States, but in quality there is
nothing to recommend them, for they
have no flavor, and are SO tough that
it takes a pretty sharp knife to make
any impression on them. Still, there
are people who manage to eat them
after they have been stewed sufficient
ly long. In other parts of our coun-
try we have a better grade, approach
ing nearly to your American oyster,
but hardly it's equal. In fact, after my
acquaintance with the Chesapeake bay
products, am firmly of the opinion
that in the matter of sea food the
United States leads all nations, an as
sertion that will be backed up by any
man of wide travel

BADGER Reclaimed Freedom.

one day found badger in trap, not
much injured. Tying rope to is hind

logged steadily along in front of him
and giving little more trouble than a
pig going to market. On reaching
home the animal was put for the night

LauS lnfantium.

In praise of little children I will say
God first made man, then found bet
ter way
For woman, but His third way was the
best.
OF all created things, the loveliest.
And most divine are Children. Nothing
here
Can be to us more gracious or more
dear.
And though. when God saw all his works
were good,
There was no rosy flower of babyhood,
Twas said of children in a latter day
That none could enter heaven but such
as they.
The earth which feels the Towering Of
thorn,
Was glad, o little child, when you were
born;
The earth, which thrills when skylarks
scale the blue
Scared up itself to Gods own heaven
in you:
And heaven, which loves to lean down
and to glass
It's beauty in each dewilrop on the grass
Heaven laughed to. find your face so pure
and fair,
And left, o, little child. its reflex there.

EGGS THAT HAVE A VALUE.

Those Laid by Lapwings Fetch High
Price in England.
Few people realize that there are
other eggs besides those of hens
which have enormous commercial
value In England so-called "plovers'
eggs," which are really those OF lap
wings, are sent to the city markets
from the rural districts by hundreds
of thousands. They are esteemed
great delicacy and fetch very high
price, the use of them being for that
reason confined almost exclusively
to the aristocracy and other luxurious
persons. Being only about the size of
pigeons eggs, a good many of them
are required to make a dish. Men
make a business of gathering them
from the nests in marshes and wet
fields.

the 1dealistic coterie which many
years ago established the famous COL

intellectual standpoint that socialistic
experiment was on higher plane
than any other known to history.
Among the noted persons connected
with it were Nathaniel Hawthorne,
Charles A. Dana, Ralph Waldo Emer-
