POOL-KOOM (r AMBLING. A Vice That Is Undermining the Touth of This Country. It hap tta Muri ol Toon and Old ud U rilllnptOor Jalla wlthThoM Cor rupted bjr Its Infla rnn. It is ail that p.lroora jramhlin(? iI.h-s more injury than all the faro bunks and other institutions for jramhlinj; put together. When a man has once been smitten with the fever for betting on races lie is of no use for anything else any more. It destroys his morals. The vice is fairly undermininjr the youth of this country. No wonder that de tectives are commonly enpap-ed by larjre employers to po around amonp the pool rooms'and find out if their clerks fre quent them. The most trusted employe, once attacked by the frenzy, is no longer to be counted upon. His inter est in his work relaxes, and there is no tcllinp when he will liejr in to steal in order to provide himself with money for the gratification of the passion. For the "benefit" of clerks and others who are enpaped durinp the day there has recently been arranged in St. Louis a scheme for racinp from eipht p. m. to twelve p. in. The races in the day time are supplemented by races at nipht under the plare of the electric liphts. These nocturnal contests are watched and pambled on in cities all over the union, says the Washington Star. Itcfore long it may le expected that other tracks will adopt a similar plan. In former times people were obliged to go somewhat out of their way in order to obtain an opportunity to play away their money, but the races bring the luxury of gambling within easy reach of all! and even the women have adopt ed the vice to an alarming extent. Many business men, who most anxious ly discourage such indulgence by their employes, are themselves plungers, and there are not a few such in Now York who often carry from twenty to forty thousand dollars in their pockets for in vestment in horses, thinking nothing of venturing ten thousand dollars on a single race. Compared with this form of gambling the Louisiana lottery was a harmless institution. It is claimed that it is demoralizing the people from the highest to the lowest, and the lime may yet arrive when national as well as state legislation will of necessity be resorted to for the suppression of the evil. Say that one finds one hundred book makers on a course on a race day. Kaon of them pays one hundred dollars a day for his privilege. In addition to this t he racing association which owns the track gets five per cent, commission on every ticket sold. It also gets the profit on the sale of programmes at ten cents each, which is a big item when fifteen to twenty thousand people are present. The bar and eating privileges are sold at high figures, and from twenty-five to fifty thousand dollars a seasou is paid in by the telegraph company for its privilege. Racing is to the telegraph company a great source of income. This can readily he comprehended when it is considered what an enorruous quantity of telegraphic matter is sent out from the tracks to the pool rooius and elsewhere all over the country. Dispatches are flowing over the wires in a continuous stream, reporting each race at all stages Pif its progress, from start to finish, and this is only a part of the electric correspondence that is transmitted. The expenses of a bookmaker in active practice are great. To Ix'gin with, as has been said, he must pay one hun dred dollars a day to the race track for his privilege. He is obliged to employ two expert accountants at ten dollars a day, one of them a "sheet writer," whose business it is to register t-ach Wt made in duplicate, while the other writes the tickets. This kind of work requires preat skill, inasmuch as prices are changing every minute, and the horse that is the favorite one minute may presently drop to nothing. He sides these men the bookmaker must have a cashier at fifteen dollars a day. who has charge of the money box. Or dinarily he chalks the price up himself, but he may prefer to engage somebody for that lob. The cashiers and ac countants are all sporting men them selves, and they receive such good wages for only three or four hours" toil four days in the week. It should fur ther be mentioned that the Uxilcmaker needs two or three messenpers, whi have varied duties, one of which is to maintain a running communication with the paddock for the purpose of ob taiuinp information, notice of tricks, etc. He is obliged to spend a great ileal of money on supplies in the way of stationery, etc., which are all manu factured and sold at high prices by one man, who has obtained from the rac ing clubs what is effectively a inonop oly. Notwithstanding these big expenses it is oliservable generally that liook inakers wear diamond shirt studs, oc cupy Imxcs when they go to the theaters, and are accompanied on such occasion? by handsome and beautifully dressed women. In short, they are "high roll ers," and well they can afford to le, in asmuch as their expenses are paid anil the cost of their extravagant living is liquidated mostly by poor clerks and other people to whom even small losses by gambling signify distress. It is the latter who contribute mainly to the maintenance of the race tracks, into which such a tremendous stream of money flows, derived from a million pet ty sources and carrying with it the piti ful earnings of the shop boy, together with the squanderings of the spend thrift on the high road to dishonor. Slave Trade on the East Coast or Africa. Intelligence from Aden says the slave trade on the east coast of Africa is again increasing, owing to the high prices now offered for slaves, and cara vans from the interior are arriving daily. These caravans, it is declared, have experienced no difficulty in pass ing through Vitu, and slaves have also Wen embarked at points in the neigh borhood of Zeilah. Djibontil, Massn wah and Suakim. The Arahs are much incensed, however, at the great num ber of their captures who are lost lie fore reaching the market, the propor tion being under present conditions about "iO per cent, of the number with which the caravans start from the in terior. The traders will now accept in exchange nothing but firoarms of the best, manufacture and ammunition. Uaids on a large scale by numerous and well-armed bands of traders are ex pected as soon as winter sets in towards the countries further to the south that is, into the territories of the Coniro tree State and Jiritish and German East Africa. Ieds Mercury. A Nickel Problem. The nickel-in-the-slot-machine has found a new application. A garden folding chair of iron is standing in a walk in the botanical garden at Iterlin, Germany, with a slot in it. If you drop a nickel into it you can easily put down the seat and Kit on it. As boon as you relieve the seat of your weight it will immediately fold u p again. Thus every time you rise you have to part with an other nickel. The inventor proposes to change this by enabling the sitter to make the chair keep open when he rises. If he does so, a whole company might use the chair one after another for one nickel. How can he prevent that? An open letter to women. V?. X May 25. '92, Syracuse, N. Y. "Dear Madam : I want to tell you what your We table Compound and San ative Wash have done for me. " I was so bad with falling of the womb and Leucorrhoa that I could not stand. " I had doctored so much without benefit I was entirely discouraged. I thought I had to die.

THE UMBRELLA. A Handy aud Convenient Article to Have Along. "An umbrella is one of the most use ful articles that a man can carry with him," said a Mississippi man. "One can lie used in a dozen different ways. When the sun is shining hot, or when it is raining, a man wiltiout an umbrel la must either remain indoors or buffer. As a weapon of defense there is noth ing better. You can keep a man at his distance with one better than you could with a stick. Next to a shotgun or a pistol there is no more dangerous weapon. "I remember one time I was in a hotel that caught afi t early in the morning. The guests were awakened by the stilling smoke and noise. My room was on the second Ihxtr and by the time I had slipped on my pents the lire h;ul gained such headway that all avenues of escape were closed. Put there was my umbrella and a window and the rest was easy. "Another time I was walking through a pasture, when a bull, with his eyes ablaze with fire, made for me. I kept my senses and whea he got within about lifty yards of me I ran toward him, opening and closing the umbrella as fast as I could. The bull wheeled around and ran from me faster than he ever ran liefore in his life. "And for frightening dogs 1 hat! rather have an umbrella than an arsenal." St Ixtuis Uepublic.

SLAVERY IN OLD ENGLAND. The System Not Kiitirely Abolished Well On lu th;- srvfiilpr tli Criilarr. Slavery in Knjrlund was of very ancient standimr. t'asar states that it existed as an institution ain.n' the I ells, and in lloiuaii F.nrland the con liiered natives were held in a state of serfdom. In Saxon and early Nor man times the children of the old Knur lish peasantry and captives taken in war were sold like cattle in llristol market and many were exported to Scotland and Ireland. "Doomsday liook states that the slaves uumlicrcd twenty-five thousand. Soon after the conquest the distinct slave class ceased to exist and the slaves were merged with the low er class of ceoiis under the "-eiicral desijrnatioii of villeins. The villeins in early feudal times were an nexed to the land aud were devisable as (roods and chattels, but in process of time the higher class of villeins (rained a title to the land on which they worked, and after the reirn of Kichard II. we tind little reference Ui villeinage. Altlioutrh the church had early succeed ed in pitttiiitf an end to the Kntrlish slave traftit? by the canon of the council of 110-J. slavery was never abolished by any positive enactment; anil, ai-cordUi(r to the Urooklyn Kajrle. it was not till li.i'.o that the last remnants of the feudal system were finally swept away. Slavery was allished. but slavery did not ease, for until the time of t leoi jrc 111. collier- were lii'.ht and sold, and if they left the estate to t hich they Ite- h-iiireil were brought back by force. It was not till the year 17T that an a-t was passed by which they were declared free and were put on the same footiii(.'- as other servants.
