Th* Fiber* of Wool.
Why does not wool felt on the sheep’s
hack? The answer is simple. Because
all the fillers are lying one way. The
serratures always point in the direction
away from the root of the fiber, and
thus they cannot fit into each other any
more than could two saw edges pointing than the
same way interlock, or two
fir cones could stick together if both lay
in tho same direction. But reverse one
of them and then try to draw it past the
other while touching it, and they will at
once become fastened together. In like
manner, during the various processes of
manufacture, the fibers of wool are
pulled about in every direction, and thus
their edges are placed with many of the
potato facing each, other and ready to
seize hold whefi the felting operation be¬
gins.—Dry Goods Chronlcia.

«Um“C reek" and "Crap.”
The luxuriance and ma gnifi cen c e of
the gambling establishments of Monte
Carlo, Baden and Alx have given the
Idea that they are the most costly gam¬
bling booses in the world. This may in
wf n» sense bo true, but there Is a building
in this dty which cost more than any of
the establishments of continental
Europe and which is dally used by gam¬
blers. Players are daily cheated there
by chance out of thefr last penny literally
and are forced to leave the place without
enough money to boy a meaL

institutions of the city. It is just as

yrr>»U consider; i. There are, accord¬
ing to this boy’s • 1 y, two ways of pitek-
lenniea. l..e first game is called
r,’’and it may be played by line from is
two to eight boys. In this game a
chmwm and the players stand a oertain
A faf-nra off and- pitch their coppers as
near as possible to the line, but not over
it If five are playing they all pitch.
Suppose three of them put their coppers
across the line and two this side. The
one whose penny lies nearest Hie line
takes all of the pennies, shakes them in
his hand and drops them to the pave¬
ment The heads belong to him ana the
tails to his opponent
Another and mors difficult game Is
played and is called “crack.” Displayed
just the same as the “liner” game, ex- <
cept that the penny must first be thro wn
against the wall and made to rebound to
that part of the pavement where the
chosen crock is situated. This requires only
mare skill than the other game, and
those who are expert ever attempt it.
Mother favorite game of these little
chaps is called “crop. ” It is played with
a single die and is shaken in the hi
and the opposite player calls “odd” or
“even” for the number of spots on the
face of the die.
As superstition is to be found among
all classes of gamblers, it is also to be
found among the penny pitching news¬
boys, and it takes some queer shapes.
Not a lad of them who sells papers will
pitch a penny until he has made at least
one sale, and the little fellow with the
box is just as determined and will not
try his fortune until ho has bad one
“shine.” Again, nearly all of the boys
have their favorite pennies, in which
they believe, and they cherish it just as
fondly as the late John T. Raymond did
his pretentious 1804 dollar, and these
pennies are often the one thing about the
boys that are kept scrupulously peculiar clean.
Another, and probably the believe most
Ition, is that they a woman
brings them bad luck. If, in before playing boy on
the street, a woman passes a
who is about to pitch, and between him
and the crack at which. he throws, he
can, if he likes, refuse to throw, and the
game is given up and another crook
obosen. Why a woman and not a man
should be chosen as the omen of ill luck
does not appear, but “Dey alius bring de
rocky wid ’em.”—New York World.
Inside of a Japanese House.
While the banto was gone to prepare
other things for us to look at the hostess
invited us to 'walk over the house. We
were shown the proper eba-no-ma; the
family altar, with its image of Buddha
in a heavily gilt shrine, and the brass in¬
cense burner, flower vase and stork
candlestick, and the various living rooms
of the family. They were all scrupu¬
lously clean, the fresh looking yellow
mats giving a cool effect that was most
pleasing at this season, although highly
suggestive of cold and discomfort in
winter, for any means of producing arti¬
ficial heat were entirely wanting, if I ex¬
cept the hibachi or brazier, over which
the people stands cower when instead they of are cold.
Habit them furnaces,
stoves and fireplaces.
The feature of all these rooms which
struck us most forcibly was the absence
of furniture and ornaments. The wood¬
work of the walls, sliding screens that
serve for doors and windows, ceilings
and staircases, was very elaliorately
carved, and evidently cost much money,
but excepting a take-mono in one or two,
or a bit of bronze, the rooms contained
nothing. One felt constantly as if in¬
specting a new house, and disposed to
say: “How comfortable this will be
when the furniture, pictures and hang¬
ings are brought hi 1” Yet the family is
a very rich one, and possesses treasures
of art that made us almost green
envy.—Professor J. K. Goodrich in The
Cosmopolitan.
