provided his- uecoasary onillt.
When the allied inarchisl Inlo Talis
after the battle of Waterloo, (Jronow
found tho Palais ltoyal a hotbod of
gainbllns "the very heart of Preach
dissipation." "There were ttblon for
nil cl:i8set4. The workman inlj;ht piny

were not slow to participate In the

leave of absence and never ulttlng the
Palais ltoyal till the lime came for his
return to the regiment.
Large fortunes were often lost nt
gambling in thoe days, the loser dis
appearing never more to be hen til of.
Lord Thanet, for instance, who had an

So I'lciitlrut Tlmt TJicj- Arc Uho.1 I'nr
lircnt l'ul, Il IH'onrutltiim,
As a people the Mexicans are very
fond of flowers, and every village, town
and city has lis place where flowers
are sold, and many of the larger places
have extensive flower markets. Often
the (lowers brought to the market are
wild hpecliueiis found In tho woods and
the llelds, but all are beautiful. In
many of the smaller towns and villages
the public parks and the sidewalks of
the streets tiro used as places for the
sale of Ilowers. Everywhere they may
be bought at surprisingly low prices.
So plentiful are Ilowers they ore used
for great public decorations. Some
times whole parks and the fronts of
buildings for many streets are covered
with llornl decoration.? on a feast day.
The Mexican love of ilowers has been
Inherited from a long line of llower
loving ancestors. More than a thou
sand years ago the chief feature of
worship among the Toltecs was the
great lloral ollerlng which was made to
the fair god once a year and which
lasted for a whole Mexican week. Dur
ing this festival one of the features
was a great lloral procession, which
traversed the princlpnl streets of the
city to the sound of musical Instru
ments. Every one In tho procession
carried flowers to lay upon the altar of
the god or to place upon tho steps or
walls of his temple. In this procession
were princes, nobles, priests and com
moners. This lloral festival was an
expression of tho love of nature for
which the Toltecs were noted. Until
they came Into contact with the Az
tecs later on In history they were pure
ly nature worshipers, and Ilowers and
fruits formed the chief part of their
offerings. So the Mexican conies by
his love of tlowers honestly.

Among th odd habits of rooks Is the
way that meitibers of tho same rookery
have of Intermarrying generation after
generation. The males nlwnys choose
their wives from their near neighbors,
and if one should be so bold as to
bring homo to his rookery a bride from
a distance tho other rooks will invari
ably refuse to receive her and will
force the pair to build some way off.
In the neighborhood of big rookeries
outlying nests of this kind may always
be found.

entering the names and birthdays of
the children of tho marriage, the au
