have learned that good times mean simply putting an absurd over-vaIua- tion on our possessions and hard times is merely discovering how little they were worth, says writer in Frank Leslie's. For the past ten years the gambling fever has been growing steadily in volume and intensity in all parts Of the country until there is scarcely a man or woman to be found, from the 10yeaT-old crap playing darky to the Keene or Whitney who plays for stakes that run well into the millions, whose mind is not taken 1lp with some scheme for getting rich without working. Here are men spec ulating in oil and wheat and stocks, and others lowering, wild eyed, over the roulette and faro tables. Here are clerks and young boys 'playing the horses" with every dollar that they can earn. borrow or even take from their employers till. Here are women in vesting their savings with financiers .who promise them interest at the rate of 10 per cent a week. And. here are servant girls, negroes, office boys, beg gaTs and vagrants buying policy slips at a cost all the way from cent to S2 a risk. There is scarcely branch of commerce that has escaped this wild mania. Real estate is no longer bought as an investm ent. but to be sold again within a fortnight The business of theatrica1s-time was when it was an art or professionals now almost wholly speculative, and even the con- servative old trade of book publishing is honeycombed with men who, using the advertising page as a gaming table, speculate in authors as other gamblers do in stocks or corn or ivory chips.

Suddenly the crowd sent up a cry of dismay. One of the hooks which held the painters flimsy seat broke and let him slide down with sickening rapidity.

Rents and Suicides.

Rents are paid quarterly in Paris, and every quarter day is marked by aiarge number of suicides, the victims being poor wretches who cannot pay, and seek thus to escape eviction. On the first of the month no less than nine persons took their lives for this reason. The charcoal brazier was the favorite means adopted.
