LUCK AT MONTE CARLO.
A Fly Which Cost the Gambling Room
a Small Fortune.

A Fly Which Cost tho Gambling Room
Small Fortune.
About Jan. %. 1904. a curious thing
happened at Monte Carlo. The super
stition Of gamblers is we'll recognized
but it is seldom that their reliance upon
omens brings them such luck as was
the case Oh the above date. At what
is known as the suicide" table in the
Monte Carlo gambling rooms the fol
lowing remarkable incident occurred:
A fly alighted on No. Is on the rou.
lette table at the time when the play
ers had suffered persistent run OF
hard luck. The superstitious gamblers
exchanged covert glances and searched
their pockets for money with which to
stake. In few moments the middle
dozen"-that is to say. the Nos. ID to
24-were literally covered with stakes.
Then an elderly gambler arose and
piled napoleons round the square on
which the fly had alighted. thus back
ing the numbers from 10 to II. Less con-
fident players staked smaller amounts
on the ''transversales."
The ivory marble was sent spinning
round the roulette wheel. There was
a moment of suspense and then the
croupier announced the winning num-
ber-13. But what is far more extraor'
binary the same number came up three
times in succession.
That fly cost the casino over $4,000.

OUR EARLY CURRENCY.

Tho First American Coins and tbs
Series Struck at Boston.
The very earliest coinage that can
properly be said to be strictly Ameri'
can" was ordered by the original Vir-
ginia company in the year 1912, only
five years after the founding of James
town. These coins were minted at
Somers islands, now known az the Der
mudas. For a period of more than a
quarter of a century after this. how
ever, tobacco and beaver skins were
reckoned as lawful currency.
In 1915 the assembly of Virginia
met and declared that it had mature
" weighed and considered how ad-
vantageous a Quoine (coin) would be
to this colony and how much better
it would be than sole dependency
upon tobacco and pelts." After this
they provided for the coinage Of cop,
per coins Of the denominations of two,
pence, threepence, sixpence and nine
penc, but this resolution was never
carried into effect.
The first coinage in America proper
was the series Of coins ''struck" al
Boston under the order Of the genera
court of Massachusetts passed Ma.
q, 1852, the coins being three, six and
twelve pence denominations, "in forme
fatt and stamped on one side with the
letters N. E. and on the other the
value Of the piece"

amateur can be more safely relied
upon to do this than she could to
choose among the vivid colors, such
as red, blue, green and black, that
have been forced upon her for the
last two years.
Mind you, these changeable tones
will not be vivid. There is no splash
of opposing colors, such as in plaid or
stripes or checks. The mingling Is
very well done by artistic dyers, and
the fabric simply looks one color in
one light and one color in another.
Women have been delighted with
the effect as already seen in chiffon
cloth and in gauzes. They prevailed
last winter among those who dressed
exceedingly well, and the effect was
alluring. The gauzes lend themselves
admirably to the changing lights and
shadows Of mingled tones, and as they
feet was not startling.
A soap bubble is always less vivid
than a rainbow. and so it is that 4
changeable surface is far less con
spicuous than a well defined one In
more than one color.
Felt hats, it is said, will carry ou'
the idea, and instead Of being dyed III
three mingled ones and then trimmed
in changeable satin or velvet ribbons

The Svmpa<hetic Watch,

The sympathetic watch is all very
well. writes q correspondent. but there
are many who find that their watches
can never be relied upon to behave
regularly. Generally the wearer Is
found to he OF a very nervous DISPOSE
ton. and it certainly looks as If this
communicated itself to the watch.
One inherited by the writer. which
had kept good time for years. imme-
diately developed erratic tendencies
when worn by him and has never got
out Of them. Only once for brief
space did watch go regularly with
him. It was a Swiss one. which had
varied when worn in England. but
kept accurate time on Il Swiss holiday.

the wearer's temporarily braced nerves
or the effect of its native air on the
watch that did the trick. - London
