Gaming in France.

By the new law of June, 1907. gam bling has not been made illegal as some persons; supposed. The only re- form enacted is that the State takes fifteen per cent. of the proceeds of the green biaz tables in casinos.
 Recent statistics show that the per centage produces a valuable asset for the Treasury. From June 18th, 1907. to October 3ist last, the State thus netted over $415.000.
 During the last winter season on the Rivera the gaming trades, petits che vaux, etc, at Nice, Cannes and other places, excluding of course Monte Car To, which is on the soil of the Princi- pality of Monaco, brought in over S2O0.000 to the French Treasury.

Lady Says it is Hell to Re fin Habit Stronger than YOurseIf-StrOnger

For some time past I have lived a hell on earth, but now I have gotten another glimpse of heaven.
 It is hell to be in the grasp of habit stronger than yourself-strong CT than death.
 It is heaven to feel the shackles of that habit fall away-to conquer death.
 Four years ago I was In the full happy woman. The tempter came in the form of opium. God forgive me for ever having loocked covetously up- on 1t. fell an innocent victim to it's use.

FULL GERMAN CREW.
The Keiaer Diamisses EngIishmen
 From Yacht.

Berlin. Sept. 12-About year ago the German Emperor dismissed the English crew of his American built yacht Meteor. and replaced 1t by Ger men seaman.
 This principle of the elimination of the foreign element is to be carried a step farther in his Majesty's new yacht, the order for wlich has been placed with the GermaIia yard at Kiel The vessel is to cost about S25O. 1000, and the monarch has ordered that as far as possible the material employed in its construction Is to be arawn from native firms.
 With the quite extraordinary de- velopment of sailing. as of rowing. which has taken place in Germany within the past twenty years, princi- pally through the encoura cement af forded to these sports by the Emperor. German boat builders have gained in skill and experience, so that they now claim to be the equals of the English from whom they learned their craft.
 It is said that Americans, who were wont to have their yachts built in Great Britain. now prefer the German yards. The only features of the Elm perors yachts which come from Eng land will be the interior decorations panelling. furniture. and so on.
 The vessel is expected to be ready to take part in the races of next years KleI week.

She Posed as a MarchiOmess And
 Borrowed Money.

Borrowed Money.
 Rome, Sept. 12--Signor Tedia was the owner, of a large wine shop in this city and among his customers was a lady, who stayled herself the Marchioness Giuseppina Vasto d'Ava- los.
 She frequently drove up in motors or cabs and before long Signor Tedla became on friendly terms with her She told him that she was heir to $500. 900, that she had a palace in Naples. and great estates at Vasto, in the Abruzzi, where she cultivated vines and bred Lorses. some of which she sold to the Royal family and others to the War Office. Then she said that she was looking for wine dealer. and that she was ready to sell A large quantity of "Pacrime Chriti. and finally asked for loan Of $500. which she received.
 Later on she obtained various other sums. and the wine dealer undertook to purchase some of her stock of wine. As this wine did not come, Signor Tedia sent his son to Vasto. where 1t was found that the Marchioness was absolutely unknown.
 When the lady heard what had been discovered she tried to commit suicide. but failed. though she lost one eye in the attempt, which she replaced with an artificial one. This week she was arrested, and identified as Josephine Santarelli, aged S2. well-known. sWindler.

A BANKRUPT cURATE.
Mir. WIckham Ruins Credit by Stamp
 

Collecting.
 London. Sept. 12-The Rev. Edward P. Wickham late curate of St. James Church. Norwich, and now residing near Teigmmouth. has been financially ruined by stamp collecting.
 His stipend as curate was $750 per annum. He obtained loans from four money lenders, in one case at over 50 per cent. He borrowed $950 in three months. He was a stamp specialist in particular countries--Ceylon. India, and England-and to complete these particular collections he bought whole collections from other people and sold the stamps that he did not require
 Once he bought collection for $700 and took out certain stamps. but they proved worth nothing. The other portion he sold for $190. He bought the collection without examining 1t sufficiently. During fifteen years he had been engaged in stamp trans actions mounting to $30,0O0. He be- came involved in litigation and now is a bankrupt.

December Hushand,s Ruse.

Frenchmen are nothing if not orig hal. A graybearded one recently mar ried girl in her teens, and kept won dering whether she loved him. Would she weep when he died, or would she rejoice. and marry again?
 He would put her 10 the test, and he revised a gruesome stratagen., He locked himself up in room, and walt ed. After some hours his wife, won- dering at his unaccountable disappear ance, had the door broken open. On the bed fay her husband, his hands crossed his face white, his body mo- tionless. apparently dead. Now the wife would show what she really felt. She gazed at him, came to the conclu- sion, that he really was dead, and danced a breakdown in the room.
 Up leaped the corpse, and roared, "So that is how you would grieve for me? Then take this" and threw clocks and cand1esticks at her. She fled, and he continued to vent his disappoint- ment by smashing all the furniture in the fiat.

A, strnnge Prisoner.

The police of Cherbourg have a strange prisoner in their hands. He had attempted to emigrate from Italy to the United States, but was refused admission to America. according to the immigration laws, and was sent back on board the St. Paul.
 The name under which he Is travel ling Is Giovanni Campanili, but the po- lice, it is alleged, were informed that he might be a man named Guatelmo, accused of murder committed in Italy. In consequence of this information he was examined, and his legs and the lower part of his body are described as being literally riddled with bullets, supposed to have been fired from re- volvers.
 Notice has been sent to. the Italian police authorities, and the would-be emigrant will be detained until furth- CT information has been received.
 Lady barristers like doctors, are strictly forbidden to advertise their services in France. They may publish their names in directories, but they may not add thereto any special an- nouncement of their qualifications ana taigents intended to attract clients.
 Several of them recently published their photographs alongside of their legal announcements and the bar, af- ter a learned discussion, has decided that the publication of portraits by lady counsel is against etiquette, and runs perilously near to unfair compe- tition.

WAR HEROINE z.
 SEEKING AID Madame May Wants Tobacco License. WEARS CLOTHES OF MEN She Served as Scout in the War os
 1870. Gambling in France Is Conducted on a Percentage BasIs--The Weeks
 Gossip at Paris. 
BY A. W. L.AMoUREUx..

Paris, Sept. 12.--An application at Le Mans for a license to open to- bacco bureau has brought to public notice a forgotten war herone, Ma dame May. who. in 1870, distinguished herself by a series of daring exploints.
 The application was calculated to startle the official who received. it. The person who made it was dressed as a man, but was undoubtedly a woman. She made no secret of 1t. Ever since 1870 Madame May had worn mans clothes. and would do so till the end of her life. She was born in 1S44 near LeMans. and was living at Metz at the time the war broke out. She of- fered her services as a scout, and was accepted. At first she drove about the country in a cart and after some time adopted masculine attire, which would permit her more easily to move about among the soldiers.
 Her cleverness In avoiding detection. as well as her courage. were soon rec ognized, and she was charged with carrying important despatch es to the farthest outposts along the frontier villages. which exposed her constant 1y to the risk of being caught and ot as a spy. She was, In fact, cap tured one day as she was carrying three important messages through the enemy's lines to the commander of the besieged forces at Thionville. She was searched by the Germans. who. to their honor, bt 1t said, treated her most decentlys and sent her away free, but with strict orders not to cross their lines again.
 Tn spite of the search, she had sue ceeded in hiding the dispatch es In her clothes. and preventing the enemy from seizing them.
 She returned to Metz after the sur render, and found her house burned down to the ground. She married a Nj. Imbert. but her husband died, Ieav- ing her with girl. whom she had adopted, and whose three children she mas brought up. Being reduced to poverty, she was advised to apply for a concession of bureau de tahac,' which is one way of rewarding old public servants in France.

Death of a "HeaIer..

Christian Science Is no new thing, and is no American invention. An old wizard of s5, who has just died in Auvergne, practiced the doctrine suc- cessful1y for half a century among the unsophisticated peasantry of that country. Re did not call his method Christian Science, but gave out that he healed in secret" and seems some times to have been as good as his word.
 |h When called, he never touched a Vnatient, prescribed no medicine, and %svised no change in diet or manner ON living. All he asked was. Have yo& faith2 Are you persuaded that the Almighty can cure you' If the patiept says ives" the healer merely urged him or her to bear up and "to put faith in God, who cures the sick" He then went home to pray-and his patients were cured. Some of them, at all events, say they were. and their number was enough to make the wig ards reputation.
 When he had become known all over Auvergne, his fame spread abroad. Of late years patients had come to him
