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. BOYS GAM BLING FO R PENNIE8- Om rpr 1 —— ot Such Ombm mt «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 Where ia this great building and who are the building, gambled! the yon United ask.

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.
