THE BLACK BALL.

A Clever Scheme That Was Spoiled
in the Drawing.
Two young men in French village
were called on to draw for conscrip-
ton. One only was wanted to COM
plete the number, and Of the two who
were to draw one was the son OF
rich farmer and the other the child OF
a poor widow.
The farmer ingratiated himself with
the superintendent Of the ballot and
promised him a present If he could find
means to prevent his son from going
in the army. In order to accomplish
this the official put into the urn two
black balls instead of one white and
one black ball. When the young men
came, he said:
There are two balls, one black and
ona white, in the urn. He who draws
the black one must serve. Your turn
Is first" pointing to the widows son.
The latter, suspecting that all was
not fair, approached the urn and drew
one Of the balls, which he Immediately
swallowed without looking at It
why" said the superintendent,
have you done that? How are we to
know whether you have drawn 4 black
or q white ballY"
"Oh, that's very easy to discover"
was the reply. LET the other now
draw. If have the black, he must
necessarily draw the white one"
There was no help for it, and the
farmers son, putting his hand into the
urn, drew the remaining ball, which, to
the satisfaction Of the spectators, was
q black one.

Bulgaria mas 5,SUU centenarians,

Bulgaria mas S,oUO centenarians,
about one to every 1000 Inhabitants.
Rumania has 1,OS4 and Servia $40. Stu
dents of longevity records in Europe
are asking why the countries least adj
vanced in hygienic standards lead thus
in the tables of the centenarians. The
United States, with a population then
Of more than 100000, had by the CEN
sus Of 1900 more than $500 centenari-
ans, making about one-twentieth Of the
ratio shown In Bulgaria. No answer
has ever been given in the case Of an
Individual centenarian which would
stand the tests Of the 10O-year class in
general. One person will say abstinence
kept him strong, another that moder-
ate drinking helped him. Tobacco will
have been abjured on this hand, the
pipe have been a comforter ON that
Sometimes to a life Of hard work or
again to preservative days Of leisure
will the credit be given.
