A Paradise.

sit has been said that only u poor
writer cannot describe a country he
has never seen. Some of our repre-
sentatives," said General Passenger
Agent Townsend of the Missouri Pa
ciflc-Iron Mountain system, ''had
the same idea, but a trip over the new
White River line from Newport,
Ark, to Carthage, Mo-, has proved
that there are scenic possibilities that
must be seen to be appreciated" In
order to know just what we are talk
ing about, representatives Of the pas
senger department have made the
complete trip through the White
river country along the new line OF
the road, and, as the result, we are in
the possession of the material that
proves beyond question that the new
line has resources Of the widest eX-
tent and greatest Importance. Seen
cry such as one could find no where
else in the country is here spread ont
in prodical abundance. Continual
EXPLANATIONS of wonder and delight
are the testimony of tourists, who al
ready number over 1000 for the White
river trip.
The country abounds in springs OF
the purest water; indeed the rivers
are largely springfield, while at sew
eral points, Galena, Mo-, in particu-
lar, there are springs whose virtue
will soon become famous throughout
the land, only their isolation having
kept them in the background up to
this date.
A glance at the luxuriant orchards,
the bursting bins of ore, the piles of
cedar, pine, walnut and oak timber
give hint Of the material resources
of this new land.

the enecrs or zero ana the maximum.
If one could be certain that zero would
turn up, as 1t ought TO turn up. once in
every thirty-seven turns, it could be
provided against, and the casino, even
with the help of the maximum. would
be in a bad way.
But no such certainty is possible,
and therefore every system splits on
this rock. And SO with the maximum.
Perhaps the most fatal systems of all
are those based upon the theory that
II red has come up a certain number
of times running black will follow. To
illustrate the folly Of this theory, take
the following example: If you toss a
penny In the air 1000 times and 1t
comes heads 900 times 1t is of course
only even money on its being tails the
next time.
The third reason, If, indeed, another
be needed, why the bank must always
win is that the human and fallible play
err is always playing against an In
fallible machine.
The slightest mistake in calculation,
the least ~inattention, and the system
breaks down. And to err Is human.

For an hour or two of the day the

There he gets all the morning and aft

may write his business letters and pri-
vate correspondence. Many a client
writes all or most of his correspond
ence at his little marble topped table.
The garcon brings him the black port
folio stocked with letter paper II en-
velopes and pens and ink. Notre client
may use up as much paper and en-
velopes as he pleases. These are pro-
vided by the staff of walters at their
own charge, not by NJ. lie Patron, the
landlord-a curious custom. Notre
client is welcome to sit there all day
long over his newspapers and CORE
spondence and his glass of bordeaux
or his "lait chaud' perhaps with a nip
of rum in it when the weather is cold.
The counter is reserved for walters
and for NJ. lie Patrons wife or daugh-
ter or lady clerk, who sits behind it re-
ceiving orders.
The "habitues," mos clients" or pass
ing customers are comfortably seated
at their neat, scrupulously clean little
tables. Outside the chairs and little
tables are arranged in rows, three,
four, five, six deep. There mos clients
sit at their ease underneath the broad
awning when the sun is ablaze. Win

SOME ODD
Prepared From the Skins of Various
Aquatic Animals.

Leather is prepared from the hides of
nearly all aquatic animals, principally
the seal, whale, porpoise, alligator and
walrus. The use of these hides Is al
most as old as man himself, and they
have eve been most eagerly sought
after for the many uses to which they
could be put after being prepared as
leather. At the time of the Russian
occupation of Alaska they made great
use of walrus hides. Furs were usual
" wrapped up in these skins, and when
they reached Kiachta, China, the great
mart of those days, the skin vas sewed
over chests of tea. On arrival at Mos
COW the soundest portions were re-
moved, cut UP and stamped into ko-
peckS and a variety of small change.
This formed the chief currency of Ala
ka for a time. The Russians also made
harness of walrus leather, while the
natives of Alaska used the skin as a
covering for their boats.
A queerer kind of leather, however,
IN from the bodies of fishes. An
extremely fine quality of green leather
made in Turkey is manufactured from
the skin of IN ugly fish called the angel
fish. The sword grips of the German
army are made from shark leather,
which is beautiful in pattern, being
marked with dark diamond shaped fig
ures. This skin comes from a North
sea shark called the diamond shark.
Leather manufacturers have tried to
produce a substitute from animal
hides, but in vain. Unlike animal leath-
err, fish leather is absolutely impervious
to water and never gets soggy from
dampness. Therefore it is ideal for
sword grips, as, no matter how much
the hand may perspire, the grip re-
mains hard and dry.
Leather is made from the skin of the
Pacific coast and great lakes sturgeon,
which is exceedingly tough and is used
in making laces for joining leather
betting. In Canada the skin of a spe-
cies of siluroid is used in making
gloves.

Chinese " Cash"

Consular reports from China are to
the effect that the prospect of a re
form or rather revolution in the money
system of that Empire is not very
bright, in spite of the promises to that
end which have been made. There are
number of influential elements pre-
venting the change which nations do
ing business in China have asked,
among others the bankers who profit
by the great variations in values of
the same kind of coins in different
cities as well as the provincial officials
who mint them. The money of the
people is still brass and copper, and to
introduce n new system will be diff
cult owing to the dread on the part of
the public of anything new. Gold
and silver may continue to control the
price paid for exports, but copper and
brass will for a long time govern pro-
ducton.

grape Industry. which, while it Is only
about 80 years old, is small as com
pared to that of the world whose an
nual production is over 4.000,0OO,OOO
gallons of wine.
Other products of the grape are rails
ins-an enormous industry in itself
brandy, vinegar, grape syrup, very
superior article, and various pickles,
jellies and preserves.
The grape furnishes also important
by-products. Feed and fertilizer are
produced from the pomace, also acetic
acid. The seeds are separated from the
pomace and fed to stock the same as
grain. Ground up. they are used as u
substitute for coffee. A high grade oil
similar to olive oil is also produced
from the seeds. which. among other
thicgs. make superior soap. They also
yield tannin.
Mr.. Husnann estimates that II all the
wastes Of the grape crop were utilized
extra returns would increase it's value
fully 10 per cent, which, with our pres
ent grape production to the value of
about $15.000000, would mean an ad-
ditional earning of million and a half,
and this with our viticultural industry
as yet in its infancy.
