WOMEN GAMBLERS OF YoRE.

Lord Henyon's Threat Proof Prnc-
tfce Was Common 100 Years Ago.
However one may deplore the pres
cnt craze for gambling among women.
II can at least be urged in their favor
that they do not indulge their love OK
cards to anything like the same extent
as did their sex q century ago, when
Lord Kenyon made his famous scath-
ing comments from the bench and
threatened that any women convicted
before him of public gaming should
certainly exhibit themselves in the pill
Iory. though they should be the first
ladies in the land"
Only a short time before his lord
ship made this severe threatthree lead
ers of the world Of fashion-ladies OF
high rank and moving in the most eI-
allied of social circles-had each been
fined ESQ for making their houses CEN
tiers of gambling for high stakes, and
it was stated at the time that there
were hundreds of other great ladies'
whose drawing-rooms were nothing
less than gambling infernos, where
tens of thousands Of pounds were lost
and won in a single night and the
floors of which, when dawn broke.
were strewn ankle deep with cards.
There is scarcely a house of any
Importance" wrote Il chronicler of the
time. 1.-The hostess of which has not
her faro bank, and where the world
of fashion, including royal princes and
princesses, does not congregate daily
to play for the highest stakes. 1t is
notorious that many of these ladies'
add ten of thousands of pounds yearly
to their pin money in this discredit-
able fashion"
Nor was this encouragement OF
gambling by women any innovation.
for a couple of generations earlier 1t
was a common thing for ladies OF
rank to open gambling-houses for ths
entertainment Of their aristocratic
friends and the plenishing of their own
purses-and this they did in defiance
of the law-Tit-Bits.

STRENUOUS STIFFNESS.


Perfect stiffness is something that
scarcely seems compatible with physi-
cal strenuosity; nevertheless, posing
for an artist may become, in the main
tenance for long periods of a difficult
attitude, one of the most trying Of ath-
letic feats. When Meissonier, the ia
nous French artist, was painting one
of his battle scenes he hired several
old soldiers for models, seasoned, tough
veterans, whose experience and endur-
ance would, he thought, be useful in
enabling them both to understand the
positions required and to hold them.
They did so, indeed, as we'll as any
one could; but it was an everyday
affair for q model to faint. and more
than once to collapse with exhaustion,
and require the services of physician.
Especially difficult were the poses
representative of cavalrymen slain or
wounded and falling from their sad
dies. Despite an ingenious arrange
ment of straps and sings hung from
the ceiling Of the studio to afford such
support as was possible, these poses
remained so hard that one old soldier
declared fervently when the picture
was finished:
Monsieur Meissonier, l have been
six times wounded, and once nearly
frozen on the field, but it was all moth
ing to this. Nothing! Nothing. 1t is
not hard to fall out OF the saddle
really. A bullet helps one so neatly
one scarcely knows when enc touches
the ground. But then, you see, one is
allowed to fall all the way; one is not
halted in mid-air.
You are painting great picture,
monsieur, and l am proud to be in it;
but if you could have put me there
with a pistol instead Of paint-brush,
should have preferred it,
1t was long a current tale that the
model for another painting by Meis-
sonier, entitled 1.-The Brawl," actually
died as the result of long posing in an
unnatura-ly strained position for one
OF the two intertwined and struggling
combatantS in the picture.
This was not true. Indeed. he lived
to boast much and volubly Of his
achievement, and it served him as his
chief professional recommendation af-
terward.
Rolling up his sleeve and displaying
an arm heavily corded with muscle, he
would say to prospective employer;
Monsieur, behold! Is not tat an

THE TOWER OF BABEL.
History Leaves No Data by Which
to Estimate Its Height.

to Estimate It's Height.
The exact date of the building Of
"Nimrod's Folly" as the Chaldeans
gay in abiding to the Scriptural tower
of Babel the Armenians speak of it
as the Tower of the Confusion Of
Tongues or the height to which it pen
etrated the rarefed atmosphere Of the
oriental plains will perhaps never be
known The date Of the laying of the
foundation of the famous structure is
usually set at 2,257 years before Christ,
or in the year Of the flood 101.
The expression of the sacred his
torian that its top was to reach I'M
to heaven" is now generally set down
as a strong Hebrew phrase denoting
a very lofty tower, but not necessarily
meaning that one would reach to the
abiding place of the Lord and His
hosts Proof that this is probable may
be found in several places in the holy
writ. The walls of the cities of Ca
naan are described by Moses in similar
phraseology. The spies sent out by
4lltlI ICIulb ItpOi lSu thAI thO
cities of that country were great and
Were walled up to heaven" See Deu-
terOnomy LIS, 81. There is a Jewish
legend in the Talmud which tells us
that God did not put stop to the
building of the tower until after it had
reached a height Of 10000 fathoms,
which is equal to nearly twelve Eng
fish miles.
The sacred historians have not in
single instance left data upon which
we can base a calculation Of its exact
height and general dimensions, and it
is because of this omission that the
imaginative orientalS and other ancient
writers have given such fabulous ana
extravagant traditions concerning it.
Even St Jerome alleges from the tes-
timony of eyewitneSSeS who claim to
have seen and examined the ruins Of
the skyscraping shaft that in his day
born 80 A. D. it was over four miles
high While considering these unten-
able notions it may not be out of place
to mention that other fanciful writers
make its height range all the way
from 4 single furlong to 5000 miles in
height-Pittsburg Press.
