A STARTLING BILL,

Five Thousand Refs For Two Meals In
Brazilian Hotel.
Hotels are few and ill conducted in
the Brazilian coast towns, although
an occasional good one is met with.
Americans who patronize Brazilian
hotel or restaurant for the first time
are generally treated to a surprise
when the bill is presented. Two
young sailors had dinner one day in
Pernambuco. and. to their horror, the
bill was 5000 reis.
They nearly tainted and would have
aed without attempting to settle: but,
there being no chance OF escape, they
dubbed together all the money they
had. about $12, and humbly offered 1t
to the proprietor. Instead Of having
them thrown into jail, he laughed and
explained that their bill in American
coin was So so.
He furthermore explained that the
basis of Brazilian currency is an i'm
aginary coin called reis. 1000 of
which make a milreis Everything
is counted in refs. and the figures have
a very imposing sound-2O0 reis for a
ride on a street car. 100 refs for hav-
ing your boots BACKED. a million reis
for house. and so on. 1t is a silly
system. but the Brazilians seem to
think it NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Many years ago a well known Scotch

position under the governor
He was a colonel of volunteers at
home. and consequently he took out
his gorgeous kilt uniform with him to
wear on those occasions on which eti-
quette demanded such an attire.
The necessity for donning his kilt
arose soon after he arrived in the col
ony. and attired in all his glory he
took the train from the country sta
ton near to which he CHANGED to be
residing at the time to the town where
his distinguished presence was re-
quired.
At one of the stopping places along
the route the guard. to whom kits
were an absolutely unknown article of
attire and who apparently. when he
looked in at the carriage window and
saw the gallant colonel seated there
in. imagined that that gentleman had
dispensed with his neither garments on
account of the heat, said, I'VE are get
ting near town. SIR
At the next station he came again.
and, seeing the colonel in exactly the

statement TO this effect following the
meeting of the congregation OF the

resignation and to remain in the pas
torate of the church. The pastor was
not present at the meeting. He was

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

oman fortune.
About Jan %. 1904, curious thing
happened at Monte Carlo The super
stition of gamblers Is well recognized.
but it is seldom that their reliance upon
omens brings them such luck as was
the case on the above date. At what
is known as the suicide" table in the
Monte Carlo gambling rooms the fol-
lowing remarka bic incident occurred:
fly alighted on No. 13 on the rou-
lette table at the time when the play
ers had suffered a persistent run Of
nard luck. The superstitious gamblers
exchanged covert Chances and searched
their pockets for money with which to
stake. In a few moments the middle
doZen"-that is to say. the Nos. IS 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 Il. 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 extra or
binary the same number came up three
times In succession.
That fly cost the casino over 5000.
