INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS
CANE CROP CONTRACT

Superintendent of Public Instruction
Babbitt has just made contract with
Kahuku plantation for the grinding of
the cane raised by the Industrial
School at Waialee. The school has
something over thirty acres of land in
cane cultivation. One crop has been
raised and harvested, yielding a very
satisfactory return. The contract with
Kahuku is that the school shall raise
the cane, strip it and cut it and load
it on ears. The plantation will haul
it and grind it, and market it and
make returns. The amount to be re-
eeived is based on a sliding scale ac-
cording as sugar is high or low at the
time.

The Strange Chances
= OF Gambling
%EyARTHUR HEWITT.

There are systems, some will say,
that will defeat the bank at Monte
Carlo. I have not found one. Two
factors settle all systems. One is the
banks limit which prevents the
doubling system so: often advocated;
the second the extraordinary idiosyn-
crasies of chance. Red or black will
often run in long series. I saw if
teen reds come up in succession on
one occasion; seventeen uneven mum
bers in an unbroken series on an
other. One evening, on a losing day,
I was playing on the first six num-
bers and persistently for some hours
the last twelve numbers invariable
turned up. Once I saw twenty-one
come up four times in succession,
when mathematically it should have
taken one hundred and forty-four
coups to make it show that number
Of times-and still more strange that
on this occasion each time it came up
a gentleman had staked the limit on
the number, namely, n hundred
and eighty francs, winning in ten
minutes something over $4,000
francs. One readily sees by these in
stances the unexpected very often
happens. in fact, more often than
not.-The Bohemian Magazine.

When Governor Smith Silent.

When Governor Smith of Georgia
was Secretary of the Interior in
Cleveland's Cabinet, he was once
called home to Atlanta on business.
The duties incident to his leaving had
thoroughly wearied the brawny Sec
rotary, so he retired early to his
berth for q good nights rest. Mr..
Smith never does anything by halves,
and the scnorous cadences of ever
increasing volume which proceeded
from his apartment CAV. evidence
that his ~utterances of the day did not
greatly exceed in forcefulness those
of the night. But after about two
hours his tranquil slumber was dis
turbed by the persistent nudging of
the porter. That official was asking,
Boss, is you awaken"
'"Of course l am awake" Mr..
Smith replied. What do you want?"
BOSS, I hope dat you will pardon
me, sab. but l was jest goin' to ask
you to be SO kind as to stay awake for
jest about fifteen minutes tell de
rest of de passengers can git to sleep"

to comprehend the wonderful thing
that had befallen him.
Come, man, hurry up" exclaimed
the deputy, more brusquely.
AS though to punishment, with
head low on his breast and pallid
cheeks, the patriarch crossed the
court. Some of his comrades, who
had listened with interest to the con-
v~ersation,' crowded forward to bid
him good-by; but he went on as
though he did not see them. In a
daze he entered the grim corridor
and walked unsteadily to his cell.
There were 2 few articles of clothing
and a book or two he priced. These
he placed in his shabby old bag and
Joined the deputy at the cage.
The officer on duty shook hands
with him and wished him good-by.
But old Jimmy scarcely realized what
it all meant. The sudden change in
his placid life had quite bewildered
the old man. He could not, as yet,
adjust himself to it.
he lUllOWSu IlC SCPuIy uPoSoAtS
and sat down in the Office while the
necessary papers were being filled
out. One of the clerks came and
whispered to the officer. The latter
turned good-naturedly to old Jimmy:
II can tell you what's happened,
Jimmy" he said. Hes dead. Went
off day before yesterday, this young
man tells me. Must have forgotten
you, Jimmy, or he'd made provision
for such a contingency, eh?"
Yes, he has forgotten me- re-
sponded the old man, strangely. Il
-am-forgotten."
1t was growing dark outside. The
papers on the deputy's desk rustled
softly. Old Jimmy leaned his head
upon one claw-like hand. In a few
moments he would be free. Free!
Twenty years before that would have
meant much to him; there were a
wife and children then. Five years
before it would have been welcomed,
for then the horror of the prison vas
fresh upon him. But now
He looked down at his shabby
clothing. He remembered his empty
pockets. The night was coming fast.
The deputy rose and motioned to
him.
It's all right, Jimmy. I've made
account of your release" He shook
the withered paw of the old man
warmly, and led him to the door. A
moment later the discharged debtor
stumbled down the iron steps.
The sun had gone down. From
within sounded family the monoto-
nous tramp of the men from the shops
going to their cells. He was alone
in this outer world-the world he had
not seen for five years. His friends?
They had forgotten him long ago.
His enemy? He, too, had forgotten,
for there is naught but forgetfulness
in the grave.
He leaned his barred head against
the cold granite. A great unuttered
and unutterable cry filed his soul.
Forgotten of men! Forgotten Of
men!"-Portland Transcript.

Story of Dying Trees.

Attention has recently been direct
ed to the number of trees in Glasgow
which are in a dying state, their sick
ly condition being attributed TO
smoke. A correspondent mentions a
singular coincidence in regard to five
trees which a John Pattison planted
in the centre of his garden in Kelvin
grove on the birth Of his five sons.
Two of his sons died early in the
nineteenth century, but three lived
till after 1850, when there were only
three OF the.trees standing. On the

Curious Tail Lore.

In whales we have an entirely Diff
ferent state of affairs, the tail being
set ~transversely instead Of vertically.
The reason for this is concealed In
long ages of evolution. Fishes have
always been as they are now, aqua
tic. but the ancestors of whales and
dolphins lived on dry land where
they crawled about on four good
feet. When, for some reason, these
creatures of old took to the water,
they probably did not plunge at once
into the open ocean where their de-
s%cendants now live, but waded n
padded along in the shadows and
marshes of the shore. Here a verti-
cal tail would certainly be in the
way, while a horizontal one might
be used advantageously. We must
not forget also that whales breathe
air as we do and that it is more
necessary for them to shoot quickly
I'D from the dark ocean depths to the
surface, than to turn fsh-like from
side to side.
The sting ray and certain other
fishes have a sharp, poisonous spine
in the tail with which they can infict
a severe wound, but in the case of
the alligator, it is by sheer brute
force that the tail is useful for de-
tense. The muscles Of this organ
are like springs Of steel. The great
saurian lies asleep in the sun, SEEM
ing more dead than alive, but If a
half-dozen men should seize its tail
with all their strength, with one ter
rible flick the alligator could scatter
them, breaking legs and arms as II
they were straws, and hurting the
men far to each side.
In Mexico I once grasped a three
foot iguana by the tail, and I had
my strength tested to the utmost to
hold on for a single minute. Then,
without warning, the great lizard
went one way and I the other; his
tail had parted company in the mid
die, and I had nine inches Of 1t left
in my hand. Instead of being fatal
to these iguanas, such an occurrence
is not infrequent and is of the ut
most value to them in saving their
lives. H.. -, q.
When alarmed, their first act Is to
dive for their holes, but when an
eagle is making the attack, the swift
ness of its fight sometimes inter
cepts the lizard and the bird OF prey
seizes the long tail which Is the last
visible part Of the iguana. After a
brief struggle, the eagle flies away
with the scaly, bony tail-tip, which
must afford but slight %gustatory sat
isfaction, while the iguana seeks the
deepest part of its burrow. The
short muscles soon close the wound
and in a surprisingly short time a
new tail shoots forth and grows to
a goodly length, ready.if need be to
be sacrificed in turn. Sometimes two
tails grow out from the old tail
stump-surely a superfuity OF bless
ings. "A weak spot in each tail bone
is the cause of the breaking. Thus
we see that the tail of the iguana Is
indeed an interesting Once. VIII

Trying to Beat
the Gambling Bank
By ARTHUR HEWITT.

The charm of roulette at Monte
Carlo is apparent, the fascination and
excitement are bound to hold you as
they did me during my lucky days.
Then, too, there is the gorgeous
beauty of the rooms themselves, the
crowd Of people all intent on the
play, and the prodigious sums of
money ever in view-the unified &C.
tivity, the action of combined thought
in one direction. Each plays upon
the, senses until Il care not how
strong your ordinary will) you fall
prey to a temptation beyond your
power of resistance. To be captain
of your own soul in this place is in
deed an arduous feat. I saw the
strong and the weak alike enthralIed
people of many lands; and I think
there were more women than men.
Some played the game with definite
system, some in the most erratic
manner The same fate overlook all.
At roulette, roughly, the bank
wins three per cent. of all. the money
staked. AS you play, this hard math-
ematical fact is establishing itself
against you. You may win at the
first, indeed many times. All your
winnings first get back to the bank,
and then your pocket will pay at
least this subtle three par cent. for
all your fine sport of many days. 1t
is so simple, need l even explain,
when the company which runs the
place yearly reaps profits to the tune
of over one and a half million pounds

oning it always. appears and each
