GAMBLING CRAZE in ENGLAND.

Every Clubs Hall Porter Is a Bet
ting Commissioners
The craze for bridge has by no
means monopolized the gambling in
stinct Of London society.
Instances of high play are grow
ing daily more frequent as the ner-
vous tension of the moneyed class
seems to be in need of relief by gam
bling. A man who knows not the
slightest thing about racing, but who
plays billiards every afternoon, calls
the hall porter of his club about half
an hour before each race and says:
Two hundred and fifty dollars each
way on the favorite." Very we'll,
sir" replies the porter. and the deal
is effected Each Monday as he en-
ters the club he receives his &C
count and settles it.
The hall porters of all the clubs
and of the hotels find most of their
duties during the racing season to
consist of acting as betting COM
mlssioners. They know all the
bookmakers, and besides getting a
commission from the bookmakers If
the hackers win, they receive gen.
erous slice Of the winnings.

Growth of Ramie In china.

Ramie, a species of gigantic nettle
which produces, directly beneath its
outer bark, a fiber that can be woven
alone or in conjunction with either
wool or cotton and gives to the cloth
into which it is woven a beautiful
silky finish, is being produced in China
at the present time to an extent that
promises to make 1t an important ele-
ment in the worlds commerce, accord
ing to the British Empire Review. I'm
like cotton, it is not an annual crop;
once planted, it viii produce for a
dozen years. 1t does not ripen evenly,
and as soon as one crop is pulled the
plant goes on producing again. Occa-
sionally in tropical countries-and it is
only in a very warm climate that it
can be grown-one plant will give four
crops in a year. A good stand Of
plants will run from two to three tens

A Marine Joke.

A marine joke that went further than
the perpetrator intended has been en-
gaging the attention Of the courts Of
Australia. In June last year the Brit
ish resident commissioner in the Solo
mon islands, a Pacific group, was. as
founded at seeing a schooner in bis
harbor with a "skull and crOssbones"
flag flying from her mainmast On go
ing out to the vessel lie was treated
with sontempt and told that he would
be thrown into the sea If he attempted
to come on board. Next day the cap
tain was arrested and, in spite of his
plea that he was merely joking, SEN
fenced to three months Imprisonment,
with fine of $50 After a brief deten-
ton he was released, and then he ini-
tiated an action. A Sydney jury gave
him 1,15O damages for false imprison-
ment. Lack of a sense of humor
though not a criminal offense, seems
to be civilly actionable.

A MILFORD CASE.
Many More Like 1t in Milford.

The following case is but one Of many
similar occurring daily in Milford. 1t
is an easy matter to verify its correct
ness. Surely you cannot ask for better
proof than such conclusive evidence.
c. d. Humphreys, farmer living just
east Of the town on Cedar Beach Road,
says: every severe attacks of backache
annoyed me for two or three years, and
when the attacks were at their worst
sharp shooting pains darted through
my kidneys and made me long for some
means to cure me. I had the last at
tack early in the spring, and it was the
worst ever had. The pain across my
back became so great that l could
hardly endure it, and while working
over the garden was compelled often to
drop to my knees. l was gradually
growing worse, and thought at one
time 1 would not be able to do any
planting this spring and was about to
give up when I read in the newspapers
about Doan's Kidney Pills. The next
day 1 went to town and got a box at
DR.. G. w. PleasantOn's drug store and
1 took them as directed and in three or
four days the backsche disappeared en-
tirely. 1 may not have followed up
the treatment thorough enough, for
some weeks later there were symptoms
Of their reoecurenee. I again used
Doan's KIDNEY Pills and they stopped
the backache in a hurry. You are at
liberty to refer any one to me, and 1
will be only too pleased to corroborate
the above statement"
