LUCK IN ODD NUMBERS.
6tpenUtlons of Modern Gamblers Whicb
Are "as Old as the Hills. "
If there is ono active principle that
enters into gambling , it is superstition ,
andfor almost everyman that hunts the
elusive dollar over the desolate waste of
the green baize cloth , or on the race
track , or in any of the other multitudinous -
nous ways or places that one may lay
siege to alluring fortune there is a separate -
arato fancy.
Jack McDonald , one of the best known
bookmakers of America , believes that
ho is most successful in those years
which are indicated by odd numbers ,
and if you are doubtful of the truth of
it ho will offer you figures to prove it.
"Carley B , " as Bookmaker Woolf is
best known , has a steadfast belief in
" 3 , " and after he has selected a horse
to bet upon he will place an extra heavy
wager on him if he discovers that he is
numbered " 3" on the programme.
Several superstitious betting men at
the Morris park races a'few years ago
noticed the coincidence that the thirteenth -
teenth day of the meeting fell upon
Juno 13 , and they straightway sought
out a horse numbered " 13" on the card.
They found one and bet upon him , and
to make the coincidence most strange
ho won.
That this belief in luck as applied to
certain numbers is as old as our philosophy -
phy is shown by the fact that centuries
before the Christian era the Pythagoreus
and Platonists , who represented all
movements and phenomena of nature by
numbers , invented the science of arith-
nomancy , consisting of the use of magical -
al squares and applying occult powers
to numbers. On the combinations of certain -
tain numbers depended systems of divination -
nation , and particular virtues were ascribed -
cribed to numbers accordingly as they
were odd or even.
"There's luck in odd numbers" is a
saying as old as the hills. As ancient a
writer as Virgil says the gods themselves
esteemed the numbers odd , for in the
eighth eclogue he wrote :
Around his waxen image first I wind
Three woolen fillets of three colors joined ;
Thrice round his thrice devoted head ,
Which round the sacred altar thrice is led-
Unequal numbers please the gods.
The Chinese have similar ideas. With
them heaven is odd and earth even , and
the numbers 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 belong to heaven -
en , while the even digits are of the
earth earthy.
So it is little cause for wonder that
our modern gamblers stick to their belief -
lief that fortune abounds in odd mmn-
bers only.-Now York Herald.
Reformed Geometry.
Almost 100 years ago two men set
out from Virginia to visit the Scioto
valley , of the beauty and fertility of
which' they had heard alluring reports.
On the third night theyreached Clarksburg -
burg , where they put up with a man
who appeared to be honesty but old fashioned -
ioned and illiterate.
"Can you tell us how far it is to Marietta -
rietta and what sort of a road we shall
find ? " asked one of the travelers.
"Yes , " answered the host ; " that is
axactly what I can do , for Iwas appointed -
ed one of the viewers to lay out the
road and have just returned from the
performance of that duty. "
"That is fortunate. What do yon call
the distance ? "
4 'Well , the distance on a straight line ,
which we first ran , was 75 miles , but on
our way back we discovered and marked -
ed another line which was much near-
er. "
The two travelers had each spent some
years in the study of surveying and were
more or less amused at the idea of a
line shorter than a straight line between -
tween two given points.
However , the next morning they took
the route which their informant had
pronounced the shorter , and true enough
they found his statement correct , for
the crooked road went round the hills ,
while the straight one went over them ,
and the distance round was less than
the distance over. Youth's Companion.
Gifts at Baptism.
Gifts to infants on their baptism are
of ancient origin. Formerly the sponsors -
sors generally offered gilt spoons to the
child. These spoons were called apostle
spoons , because the figures of the 12
apostles were carved at the top of the
handles. Rich sponsors gave the complete -
plote set of 12 , while for those who were
not so opulent four was considered the
proper number , and poor sponsors would
content themselves with offering one.
In the latter case the handle of the spoon
generally exhibited the figure of any
saint in honor of whom the child received -
ed its name. It is in allusion to this
custom that , when Cranmer professes
himself to be unworthy of being sponsor -
ser to the young princess , Shakespeare
makes the king reply :
"Come , come , my lord , you'd spare your
spoons. , '
The mug or spoon and fork offering
of the present day appears as a very
debased survival of a really beautiful
christening offering.-Westminster Review -

A FAT MAN'S DEED.
Story of a Tragic Scene on a Brooklyn Trot
ley Car Which Might Be True.
A very stout old Brooklyn gentleman
squeezed himself past two women on a
Putnam avenue car and wedged in between -
tween one of them and a man at the
other end of the seat. The if was such
a tight one that the women held their
breaths and assumed a pancake appear-
ance. At the corner where the car turns
into Putnam avenue the fat man turned
like a big turret and put up a chubby
finger. The car stopped.
" Putnam avenue ; Grand avenue and
Fulton street ! " shouted the conductor.
The fat man settled back and resumed -
ed reading a newspaper , which he had
dropped in his lap.
"Want to get out here ? " asked the
conductor , with his hand on the bell-
rope.
rope.The
The fat man shook his head. There
was an angry twang of the cord , and
the trolley began to whiz.
At Nostrand avenue the chubby fin.
ger went up again. The car stopped.
Nobody moved. Then the man who rings
up the fares got angry.
"See here , " lie exclaimed after he
had climbed along the step on the side
of the car until he was opposite the
fat man , "what do you mean by telling
me to stop for when you don't want to
get off ? "
"Why , " responded the mountain of
flesh as coolly as such a mass of adipose
could be cool , "the car jolts so that I
couldn't read this paragraph , which is
slightly blurred. I merely wanted to
have the car stand still until I had finished -
ished it. That's all. Now , if you can
go along slowly without jolting , I will
be able to get along very nicely , but if
I come across another bad line or two
I'll put my hand back of my head , a d
you stop. It's too much trouble for mete
to turn around , "
The conductor's eyes twittered in the
orbits. He placed his hand to his head
and uttered shriek after shriek. Reason
was shattered. He had become cross
eyed and insane.-New York Mail and

ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES.
Beacon Lights to Guide Mariners Coeval
With the Earliest Commerce.
Beacon lights to guide the wave
tossed mariner to a safe harbor must
have been almost coeval with the earliest -
est commerce. There is positive record
that lighthouses were built in ancient
times , though few evidences now re
main to ua from old writers or in crumbled -
bled ruins. This is not strange , for light
towers , never the most stable architec
tural form , wern exposed to the storms
of sea and war.
The Greeks attributed the first lighthouses -
houses to Hercules , and he was considered -
ered the protector of voyagers. It is
claimed by some that Homer refers to
lighthouses in the nineteenth book of
the "Iliad. "
Virgil mentions a light on a temple
to Apollo which , visible far out at sea ,
warned and guided mariners. The Colossus -
lossus at Rhodes , erected about 300 B.
C. , is sail to have shown a signal light
from its uplifted hand.
The oldest towers known were built
by the Libyans in lower Egypt. They
were temples also , and the lightkeeper
priests taught pilotage , hydrography
and navigation. The famous tower on
the isle of Pharos , at Alexandria , built
about 285 B. C. , is the first lighthouse
of undoubted record. This tower , constructed -
structed by Sostratus , the architectwas
square in plan , of great height and built
in offsets. An open brazier at the top
of the tower contained the fuel for the
light. At Dover and Boulogne , on either -
ther side of the English channel , were
ancient lighthouses built by the Romalis.
But the lighthouse at Coranna , Spain ,
built in the reign of Trajan and reconstructed -
structed in 1634 , is believed to be the
oldest existing lighthouse.-E. P.
Adams in Cassier's Magazine.
The Drug Store Telephone.
"Accommodation bureaus are all right
when they are conducted as such , " said
a west side druggist , "but the sign over
my door was intended to inform the
public that drugs were dispensed within
and not information doled out or telephone -
phone messages delivered blocks away.
I make no kick when stamps are asked
for and the city directory consulted by
people , but when they ring up the telephone -
phone and call me from my work to answer -
swer it and then want a message delivered -
ered to a friend living a long distance
from the store only a certificate of membership -
bership in the Antiswearing club which
I have pasted on the transmitter keeps
me from uttering fancy language. This
morning I was at the brealdast table and
was called to the phone. I found it was
a lady who patronized me about once a
month. She didn't talk plainly and
kept me guessing for 15 minutes what
she was driving at. I discovered that
she wanted me to tell her next door
neighbor that she wouldn't be home to
dinner and ask her to open a window of
the house and 'for mercy sake feed the
poor little cat. ' The telephone has been .
removed.Buffalo Enquirer.
Angelo's Verdict.
Once a painter notorious for plagiarisms -
risms executed a historical picture in
which every figure of importance was
copied from some other artist , so that
very little remained to himself. It was
shown to Michael Angelo by a friend ,
who begged his opinion of it. "Excel-
lently done , " said Angelo , ' 'only , at the
day of judgment , when all bodies will
resnme their own limbs again , I do not
know what will become of that historical -
al painting , for there vill be nothing

AGONY.
The music ceased , the curtain rose ,
I did not heed the r.lny ,
But gazed upon her lovely face-
She sat two seats away.
Her checks like tinted apple bloom ,
Her teeth like gleaming pearls ,
Her eyes as blue as summer skies ,
A wealth of golden curls.
And as I gazed upon her face
There came a look of .
Like cloudy shadow o'er the land
It passed , then came alain.
I saw the teardrops in her eyes ,
The rose tint fade away ,
And that fair check grow deathly pale
In speechless agony.
She turned and touched her escort's arm ,
Then slowly went away.
My heart beat fast with sympathy.
I did not heed the play.
Ho soon returned and took his seat.

Flash from my eager eyes.

Crests.
"You will not find one woman in a
hundred who is familiar with the rules
of heraldry , " said a fashionable stationer.
"Ladies insist on having crests embossed
on their writing paper , even when I tell
them that they are permitted by the
usages of centuries to use only the arms.
A handsome woman came in the store
one day and said , 'Mr. B- , I wish you
would put a crest and arms on my paper. '
I knew it would be useless to argue
about the crest , and so I asked her ,
'Have you any crest with you ? 'Oh , nol
I haven't any , ' she answered. 'You can
make a nice one , can't you ? ' I learned
that her husband was a grain dealer , so
for a crest I designed a sheaf of wheat.
For the arms I designed some hawk
heads on a shield , and she was delighted. "
Women who are interested in thess
things should observe the regulations set
down for the use of spinsters , married
women and widows. A specified frame
for the arms should be used by each.
The spinster is required to put her fam
ily arms into a diamond frame , with
very simple adornment. When a woman -
an marries , the arms of her family must
be put on the same shield with the arms
of her husband. The shield is impaled ,
the wife's arms occupying one position
and the husband's the other. If she be.
comes a widow , the frame for her arms
again assumes the form of a diamond ,
symbolizing her unmarried state , while
her arms and the arms of her deceased
husband remain impaled as formerly.-

Trees are felled by electricity in the
great forests of Galicia. For cutting
comparatively soft woods the tool is in
the form of an auger , which is mounted
on a carriage , and is moved to and fro
and revolved at the same time by a small
electric motor. As the cut deepens ,
wedges are inserted to prevent the rift
from closing , and when the tree is nearly -
ly cut through an ax or handsaw is used
to finish the work. In this way trees are
felled very rapidly and with but little
labor.-Loudoii Tit-Bits.
Growth of the English Language.
In the year 1794 the habitual users of
the English language did not number
over 15,000,000 ; in 1892,10,000,000. If
these figures are correct ( and they are
from a recognized authority ) , by the end
of the present century not less than 120-
000.000 people will use the language in
their everyday conversation. If the
same ratio of increase holds good , English -
lish will be spoken by at least 840,000,000
of people in the year 2000.-St. Louis

One Child's Vocabulary.
The statement that a child 5I years of
ago would not have more than 1i0 words
in its vocabulary that it was able to use
understandingly led a careful mother to
note for a month the number of words
used by her child. All the parts of
speech used were recorded , with the result -
sult that in this case the child appeared
to have a vocabulary of 1,528 words.-

At the winter palace , St. Petersburg ,
there is a room full of diamonds , pearls
and other precious stones. The empress
of Russia is allowed to borrow from this
room after giving a receipt for what she
takes , and generally the grand duchesses
are allowed to borrow from it also.
Jewelers are fervently wishing that the
styles prevalent in France in the tenth
century might be revived for the sake of
business. Judith , the wife of Caipuchin ,
wore a solid girdle of gold that weighed
four pounds , and all the fashionable
dames followed her example.
Honpskirts , which came into vogue in
the year 1530 , weighed between 30 and 40
pounds , but it was the "fashion , " and
they were lugged about by the belles of
the period despite the discomfort.
Professor Karl Pearson pronounces the
Monte Carlo roulette wheel , as viewed
from the standard of exact science. "the
most prodigious miracle of the century. "
