that leads to distruction.
What was once a bold rough r nd
uninviting promontory, jutting
out into the sea, is now a place
that attracts not less than five
hundred thousand visitors annu-
Eituated in the most beautiful
and sheltered spots on all the
coast, makes Monte Carlo a great
health resort in the winttr and sea
bathing place in the summer, but
the great attraction is the Casino,
which stands on the point; one
side faces the mountains; here is a
beautiful Hower garden and in it
are aloes, palms, lemons and or
angetreesand hundreds of rare
and beautiful flowers that grow so
luxuriantly in this soft mild cli
mate, here and there fountains
throwing out sprays or solid
streams many feet high ; and then
comes the bare rough mountains
with here and there in small spots
a few struggling wild flowers or a
gigantic century plant.
The front towards the sea is a
series of very wide terraces with
high cut stone retaining vails
capped with a inable railing and
here the geraniums and heliotrope
are in profusion, and occasional
small beds of rare fragrant flowers
filling the air with their sweet per
fume. On these walks are hundreds
of people chatting and listening
to the sweet music of one of the
best bands in the whole of Europe.
At our feet the deep blue sea which
looks like one vast sheet of beaten
silver under the rays of the full
moon.
But we mint see the interior of
the palace. Entering wejpresented
our cards and were given a ticket
that gave us entrance to the “cir
cle of strangers,” (or none of the
inhabitants of the principality are
admitted, but here we are in the
gambling roo .is. The walls are d* c
orated with paintings from the
brush of the beat artists, the dra
peries art, elegant orienta' d
signs, and your feet fairly sms in
the soft velvet carpet. H;re are a
Dumber of people but my, my. how
quiet, save the noise made by th*-
handling of the gold and the little
niarble as it makes its race around
the wheel to bring good luck to a
few and bad luck to many.
Here at a table we see an old lady.
Her hair ig white as suow; she is
‘trying her card carefully and
her side is a stack of gold, she
heavily and her losses art

me “unc'e George,” J never knew
why.
Jack promised he would not play
before we would goto Monte Carlo
but he give us the allp and won i
few dollars,‘his of course stimula
ted him to i>lay more. One nigi t
about 1 a, m. there was a teml-1
bounding on our door, it was Jack .
He c ime in, his face flushed I »
hair usually quite smooth, ail to i

and again, while oaucing arouu<
'he room Finallyjwe got him quiet
enough to talk “I have worked out
a scheme to beat the game, we wii
g< I rich all go back to Brooklyt
and live like princes,’’ and betweu
the times ne would take to daue :
and talk he emptied his pockets >
gold.
Twenty one hundred dollars in
bright shining gold he stacked on
the table the winnings of a few
hours, he did not retire until the
break of day working on his scheme
We insisted on leaving the place
but no he would stay a few days
longer, The following night there
came another km ck on our door, it
was Jack but “my my” what a
change. He had not only lost all
his winnings but four hundred dol
lars besides. His scheme like all
the others was a failure. The fol
lowing morning we left for Genoa.
This trip is very pleasant and in
teresting. The road runs very close
to the sea ; here we see a high and
rugged cliff crowned with the ruins
of towers erected in by gone ages.
Into a long tunnel we now go and
as we run out into the light, before
us are large groves of olives, figs,
oranges and vineyards, while on
the other hand is the restless sea
which is always interesting and at
tractive.
We arrived at Genoa at dark and
were agreeably surprised to see the
main streets lighted by electricity.
We stopped at Hotel Smith, kept
by’ a gentleman from Boston and’
true to his raising, at dinner we
had baked beans.
Near the Railway station, in the
center of a square surrounded by
palms, is the Statue of Columbus, lie
is leaning on an anchor Kneeling al
his feet is a female figure represent
ing America. The pedestal is round,
adorned with slips prows. The base
is square and cut in relief are scenes
from the life of Columbus. At either
corner are figures representing re
]igio’ ( geography, science and wis
dom
In the old portion of the city
the streets are very narrow' and
crooked, the buildings are tall and
many of the balconies touch across
t >e street, making them dark and
d s igreeable. A few are wider, and
on them are the old palaces ot the
Genoese nobility, some of these
still]b»long to, and are occupied by
the old'. families, but most of them
are used as offices. A walk through
several of these with their lovely'
frescoes and decorations by the
old masters, and the courti with
t ieir elegant fountains and statu
ary give an idea of what they’ must
have been.
