E. & CLAYTON JONES —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— EYES.TESTED FREE BY AN EXPERT ! Our glasses uro ft put-foot Relight to tlrod or patnfful eyes , Without effort or strain you eivnsee to perfection.

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."

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 fields before the fickle goddess was , me °* the intense suffering I endured driven into exile on the fair shores of ,f? r £ree months from Inflammation of the Mediterranean Sneh who have 1 ^ho Kidneys, says W.
