HOW HE BETS , WINS AND LOSES AT
MONTE CARLO.
A Sees * by Night la the Great Glided
Den at Monaco Tempting Fickle JTor-
tTtne M a Cold Blooded Boiineis Trans
action A Lucky English Couple.
Not to neo the gambling rooms at
Monte Carlo by night would be to miss
the grand show of the place. There are
not people enough in the town to make
up the crowds that press through the
big corridor and the atrium in the even
ing. They come in trains from all the
neighboring places from Cannes , Nice ,
San Bemo , Men tone , sometimes from as
far as Genoa. People ride down from
Paris , 20 hours in the rapide , just for a
.little "Bhy" at the tables. All outside
is'as bright as day , though chilly.
When I set out for the casino , I came
npon a young English couple standing
near the big fountain , discussing some
thing with great earnestness. They
were good looking , well dressed , with
something of an air of a bridal couple.
What became of them at the moment 1
did not notice , and inside I stood for a
few minutes watching the roulette ta
bles. Ten minutes later I went into the
trente et quaranto room and met them
just inside the big arched doorway.
They were on their way out Her rosy
cheeks were rosier than before , and her
face was wreathed in smiles. He was
fairly radiant and looked "very fit , " as
the Londoners say. In one hand he held
a great bundle of French notes , all
stretched out at full length , just as they
came from the tables. 16 took no great
shrewdness to see that for ten minutes
they had been leading active , industri
ous lives and had reaped the reward of
industry and virtue and were getting
out of the place before they were tempt
ed to try again and lose.
One elderly gentleman was at the
moment doing tbe leading business in
that room and attracting the most at
tention by risking ten 1,000 franc notes
( $2,000) ) at every dealing of the cards.
He was particularly interesting to me ,
because he was beyond doubt an Ameri
can. He was a fine looking .man , with
gray hair , iron gray beard , well trim
med , a shrewd eye tnat watched every
move the dealer made , and of course in
the regulation black evening clothes.
His face showed him to bo a man who
had made his money , not inherited it.
I think that lumber was tbe foundation
of his fortune in the northwest some
where , but long enough ago to give him
time to have the sawdust brushed out
of his clothes , for he was very smooth
and well groomed. Not a word was
said around the table , so there was no
chance to hear what language he spoke.
He was one of those men who would
not look at all out of place leading a
prayer meeting , but who might be de
pended upon for a ready revolver if he
caught the dealer at any foul play.
The notes came out of one of his vest
pockets , but not carelessly. There was
none of the usual effort to look as if
risking $2,000 every throe minutes was
an everyday affair with him. He did
everything with caution , always delib
erating over what square he should lay
his money upon , and sometimes chang
ing it to some other square after he had
laid it down. But whether he won or
lost ho showed no emotion whatever.
Ho won oftener than he lost while 1
watched him , putting the winnings al
ways into the same vest pocket. At one
time the banker made a mistake in du
plicating a pile of his notes that had
won , but this did not bring a word from
him. His eyes were open , and instead
of picking up the pile ho merely pushed
it back toward the banker , which was
a sufficient hint for a recount. When
the mistake was corrected and the miss
ing note supplied , he added the pile to
the big lump in his pocket.
Like almost every player around the
trente et quarante tables , ho was there
strictly for business. It was not a few
dollars laid on for the novelty of the
thing , but a deliberate speculation in
the hope of winning. My experience of
gambling houses is fortunately rather
limited , but I have seen the big places
of Saratoga and Long Branch and one
or two in New York and some very
large ones in Cuba and Mexico. Never
have I seen such a businesslike air in
any gambling room as there is here.
You may not be wicked enough to know
that generally a great deal of smoking
and drinking and some eating go with
fashionable gambling , but that is the
case. The sideboard is almost as neces
sary as the tables , and George and Sani-
bo and Henry are kept busy carrying
champagne and cocktails to the thirsty
players. This is pure business with
"the house , " even where these things
are not charged for , for does not a man
become the more reckless the more al
cohol he absorbs ?
But there is none of that here. There
is no smoking in the rooms , and no
drinks are served at the tables. As far
as I have seen , there is no place in the
casino building where drinks can bo
bad , though possibly there may be some
cozy corners that I have not discovered.
It is as much a business house as a
wholesale dry goods store , and tiic
profits are larger for the firm. This
gives it a very cold blooded atmo.spher ,
for there is not a particle of interest in
either of the games outsidu of the finan
cial risks involved. They are stupid
games of doctored chance that a navvy
can play as well as an arithmetician.

CITY FIRE FIGHTERS.
The Deadly Peril * They Encounter In ST-
inc Human Lives.
A great teueruent bousowas burning
like tiuder wood in ouo of tbo poorest
quarters of tbe metropolis. The stairs
had gone up in smoke before everybody
bad left tbe building , and oven tbo fire
escape down tbo outside of tbe building
was cut off by tbo bet flumes from tbo
lower windows , wbicb bad already
peeled off a part of it. A young girl of
14 or 15 was frantically shrieking for
help in one of tbe top windows , and a
mother was wringing her hands in piti
ful despair down in the street.
Tbo chief called for volunteers to
save the girl , and throe men caino for
ward on tbe instant , without hesitation
and without awaiting to count their
chances for success. This is tbe custom
in such cases , for no one would take the
responsibility of ordering a fireman to
bis possible death.
A strong young fellow who had yet
to win his spurs was selected for the
task , and he disappeared quickly
through the doorway of tbe adjoining
building. When next the crowd saw
him he appeared at the window just
tinder the roof , and , grasping the tin
cornice of the burning building next to
him , he swung out into the air and
made his way , bond over hand , for 30
feet through the dense smoke that rose
in black clouds from tbe lower windows
to the sill where the girl was seen.
She had fallen back into the room
unconscious .and was overcome with
smoke by the time he reached her. A
thousand anxious faces in the street below -
low were tortured with fear for the
hero , a hundred muttered prayers went
up for his safety as the fireman disap
peared into tbo black cloud , and a thou
sand throats sent up a lusty shout of re
lief as he appeared again at the window
a moment later with the limp form of
the girl in bis arms. Harper's Hound

THE CLOTHES OF AUTHORS.
Some Strictures Upon the Dress of
llah Literary Men.
Novelists and playwrights in sample
quantities are the latest class to come
under the basilisk eye and measuring
tape of The Tailor and Cutter. These
members of tbe sister profession of jour
nalism , and perhaps even the severely
judged members of parliament who
have appeared iu a like connection , may
be relieved to know that the novelists
and playwrights scarcely excel them as
glasses of fashion and molds of form.
Byway no doubt of sharpening his pen ,
the tailor critic begins with I. Zang-
will , whose louugo suit "might have
belonged to any period dnring the last
ten years , " and hud even reached the
stage of the "shabby genteel. " How
ever , it is consoling to know that Mr.
Zangwill's literary success enables him
to wear a frock coat that nearly passes
mnster , even though the accompanying
trousers are too short.
Mr. Jerome , J. M. Barrie , Henry Ar
thur Jones and Hall Caine might al
most be called moderately well dressed
in a nonstylish sort of way. At all events
they avoid the shuddering solecism of
wearing a light coat and waistcoat with
dark trousers , attributed to Robert
Buchanan , or the mixed styles of W. S.
Gilbert. But the only two members of
the class who unreservedly enjoy the
approval of onr contemporary are Sir
Walter Besant and Clement Scott The
former will no doubt be rejoiced to
learn that his clothes might canso him
to be mistaken for "a prosperous ci < 7
merchant , " while Air. Scott might
"easily be mistaken for a prosperous
tradesman , " says a tailor. The force of
flattery could surely uo farther go.
London Chronicle.
Gladstone's Courtesy.
"My father , " says a London restau
rant keeper , "was a milkman , and his
place was in the neighborhood of Harley -
ley street. Ho supplied the Gladstone
family with milk , and I delivered it.
One day when on my rounds a thunder
storm came on as I had just reached Mr.
Gladstone's house , and the rain descend
ed in torrents. I rang the servants' bell ,
but it was not promptly answered , and
meantime I was being soaked with the
rain. The front door opened , and a
kindly voice asked me to step into the
doorway , so that I might be sheltered.
Mr. Gladstone had seeu me from the
window and opened the door himself.
He also rang for the servant , so that I
might be attended to without further
delay. "
Light and Artificial fog.
The production of cloud by the action
of ultra violet light was demonstrated
at a soiree at the Royal society by C. T.
R. Wilson. The beam from an arc.lamo
was focused by a quartz lens in a tube
containing moist air free from dust. In
a few minutes a blue fog was seen to
form in the illuminated cone , and this
fog could be made to move by applying
heat to the tube locally. When the ul
tra Tiolet rays were cut off by a sheet of
mica , no such formation took place , and
it is therefore suggested that the smal1
particles which give rise to the blue of
the sky are produced by the ultra violet
raya of sunlight absorbed in the upper
layers of the atmosphere. Engineering.
Built Upon a Bowlder.
There is a village in England built
upon an enormous bowlder of chalk.
This bowlder is half a mile long and
must have been carried coastward a dis
tance of 25 miles by some great iceberg.
Itwas dropped to the bottom of the
glacial sea , where it became partly cov
ered and surrounded by blue gray bowl
