—indeed takes them as a matter of
course—nevertheless the croupier Is
“made," not “bom,” though be may
have luboru qualifications. He Is a
creature of selection, aud, given a can
didate of seeming promise, there fol
low mouths of training aud trial—aye,
little temptations which shall test his
honesty—before the three chiefs who
watch him and consider all his points
decide upou his actuel eleetiou, and he
is carefully molded Into the “right
form,"’that of the quiet, courteous yet
ever alert gentleman, whose well kept
hand spins the marble ball and throws
the coins so dextrously across the
green cloth.
It may be interesting: .to those who
do not already know to hear that no
more than thirty-six men can go up at
a time for election. Thirty-six—the
number which exactly corresponds
with the numerals on the board—and
of these, agaiu, only the very fittest
are chosen for final training and ap
pointments.
The “making of the croupier*' takes
place during the dead Reason—that is,.
from about August till the end of De
cember, by which time it is calculated
a smart man may be considered fit to
try his paces in public. The training is
indeed no play, but consists of regular
attendance at the classes of the “ecole
des croupiers'* for six hours a day, the
exact time being .from 8 to 11 in the
forenoon and from 2 to 5 in the after
noon. Before admittance to the
“school,** however, a medical examina
tion has to be undergone as well as ex
aminations in viva voce arithmetic and
tests put with regard to correct and
fluent French and refinement of ac
cent. Yet would all these avail a man
nothing should his antecedents and
character not bear the strictest and
most searching scrutiny. During this
tiihe of probation coins of the value of
those they will have to handle at tfie
tables are not used, notes being repre
sented by squares of paper of much
the same size and texture, and the'
louls d'or being “understudied** by otte
franc pieces, while the smallest stake
permissible, the clumsy five franc
piece, remains the same.
As we have, however, already ob
served, te3ts of honesty are at times
resorted to in order, to make sure of
the man’s qualities in this respect. Yet
in order not to strain this point too
highly the management pays the pro
bationer a sum of 150 francs a month
salary during his period of training.
The daily “lessons’* consist nnturally
enough principally in the acquirement
of a nice manipulation of the ball and
the rake, in quick “head reckoning*’
and in dextrously pitching the coins
across so that they seem to fall in an
orderly golden row, each separate and
'distinct.
A distinction is made between candi
dates for the trente-et-quarante tables
and those devoted ( to the more easily
grasped game of roulette. The men
serving the former are, as may have
strilck any observant visitor, of a dis
tinctly better class, a higher mental
caliber. Their salaries, too, are propor
tionately higher, ranging from 400 to
GOO francs a month, while the “chef"
draws 725 and the inspectors and sub-
directors from 750 to 1,000 a month,
with a bonus also at the end of the
season and the comforting prospect of
a pension when old age or sickness-
coin es along to lay them on the shelf.
That these men are also well worth It
goes without say lug.
A lesser grade of intelligence Is re
quired at the rouge-et-noir board, yet
here, too, the salaries are such as many
a civil service clerk might well envy-
earned, too, in a lovely climate and
bearing in mind that, given fair health
and a steady devotion to duty, the ap
pointment may be considered good for
all the man’s working life—leading
also to the ultimate pension in recogni
tion of faithful services. The salary
of the roulette croupier starts at 250
francs a month and may rise to 400
francs, and he also Is the recipient of
an annual bonus at the end of the
“grand season.” It should also be
observed that while “on duty” the
strain is continuous. Each man Is
“relieved” every two hours, when oc
curs that curious little ceremonial of
turning the cushion on his chair, a
“matter of form” to show he has hid
den no coin beneath It
The ages at which men may enlist In
Fortuna’s ranks lie between twenty-
five and thirty, the adventurer, In the
general and derogatory acceptation of
that term, having no chance whatever,
there being no place for such under
the red and black flag of M. Blanc. A
few of the older men one still meets—

When It Ruined Stones-Uneven Days.
There are hundreds of well authenti
cated accounts of stones falling from
the skies, from the mysterious regions
of the great sea of space, but such
"falls” have usudlly been slnfly or, at
the most, in small showers. Accord
ing to a legend told by the Arabs of
the Sahara, there was a time In that
portion of the dark continent when
pebbles and fine sand literally rained
from above for several days, covering
the earth to a depth of many feet. In
fact, they clillm that the great desort
did not exist prior to the time when
this great shower of aerolites enme. In
Jenckyu’s “Trip to Ye Burning Sandes
of Africk” the following Is told under
the head “Another of God’s Wonders;”
“Moreover, the nntlves of these parts
say that It once rained small stones
and sandes form period of eleven days
and nights. Much fertile land and
many towns nnd thousands of animals
and human beings were thus hurled
up.”
Doctors Are Puzzled.
The remarkable recovery of Kern
neth Mclver, of Vancoboro, Me., is the
subject of much Interest to the medi
cal fraternity and a wide circle of
friends. He says of his case; “Ow
ing to severe Inflammation of the
Throat and congestion of the Lungs,
three doctors gave me up to die, when,
as a last resort, I was induced to try
Dr. King’s New Discovery and I am
happy to 3ay, it saved my life." Cures
the worst Coughs and Colds, Bronchi
tis, Tonsilitis, Weak Lungs, Hoarse
ness and LaGrlppe. Guaranteed at Al
bany Drug Co.’s drug store. 50c and

Matrimony and Patience.
Matrimony and patience! It is not
always a perfect combination, Is it?
In South Africa the savage tribes have
a peculiar ceremony which they put
the matrimonial candidate through pre
vious to his entering the holy state.
His hands are tied up iu a bag con
taining five ants for two hours. If liarf
bears unmoved the tortures of their
stings he is considered qualified to. cope
with the nagging nnd dally Jar and fret
of married life. Such a limn would
make an admirable husband. Ho
would not be upset by the thoughts of
a spring bonnet or grow irritable every
time the steak was overdone. The Idea
of having a patience trial for those
about to marry is one that civilized peo
ple might adopt
torture by Savages,
“Speaking of the torture to v^tilch
and there are how less of them every (some of the savage tribes in the Phil-
year—have “won their spurs” on other ippines subject their captives, reminds
