A DesDerate Wager.

Driven to desperation by their heavy losses, gamblers have often sought by some coup either to repair their shat tered fortunes or to bring down utter ruin upon themselves One of the most curious instances of this kind comes from England. In the eighteenth centu- ry a notorious gambler had been los ing steadily in a game for high stakes with Lord Lorne. EXasperated by his continued i'll fortune, he suddenly sprang up from the card table, seized a large and costly punch bowl and, balancing it above his head called out to his opponent:
 "For once I'll have a bet where have an equal chance of winning! Odd or even, for 15,000 guineas!"
 "Odd" replied the peer placidly, and the gambler hurled the magnificent bowl against the wall.
 When they counted the pieces Lord Lorne had won.-Tuesday Magazine.

Warmed by Their Perfume.

According to the results of expert ments by Dr. Jean Chalon, aromatic plants charged with essential oils which exhale a perfume that spreads like an atmosphere about them when touched by the rays of the sun are to a slight degree warmed by the pres ence of this agreeable atmosphere. It acts in retaining the solar heat like the glass covers of a hothouse, al though of course far less effectively Professor Spring has shown that the relatively high temperatures of large cities is probably due, at least in part to the carbonic anhydride in the air above them acting as retaining screen for heat rays.

An old negro preacher of southern Georgia had been given fine fat possum by some of his admirers and was keeping it in a barrel, feeding il heavily. to still further increase its weight. He had decided to have il killed the next day, when, to his rage it was stolen in the night.
 Shortly afterward a revival meeting was being held, and among those who went up to the n1ourners' bench was a certain very black Jim, and his grief seemed inconsolable

 A Miss and n Find.
 It was the habit of the Rev. James Sturgeon, grandfather of the great preacher of that name, to pray each evening under a certain oak tree in g secluded wood in Honeywood park. One night he dreamed, the story goes, that Satan appeared and threatened to tear him in pieces if he followed his accustomed route, to the tree. There was another path by which he might go in safety. Remembering his dream, spurgeon felt sorely tempted the next night to take the route in which Satan was not. But this would be to capit- ulate. Trembling in every limb, he made his way by the path in which the danger lay. He reached his goal in safety and in prayer and song returned thanks for delivery from peril. When his prayer had ended he rose to re- turn. Tn his path lay piece of solid gold Gas large as a curtain ring" All inquiry failing to discover an owner, he retained it and when he married had his wifes wedding ring made from his curious find.
