Separate a11)he parts of the har-
ness and give it a thorough washing.
This is best dono in a common wash-
- tub. Put in all the parts; cover with
clean, soft water of a temperature of
about 100 degrees; about a pint of
good, dome -made soft soap can be
- added to each set of harness. Har-
ness makers use salsoda to remove the
dirt, brit I prefer good soft soap:
Allow the harness to soak about half
an hour; then with a good stout rag
or brush remove all the dirt. Use a
board to wash over; put in the tub
washboard fashion; also have a sharp
hickory stick to dig around the
loops and buckles. Wash clean and
hang up in a place free from dust.
Do not hang in the sun. For oiling,
use good neatsfoot oil. A little tal-
low can be added with good success
in proportions of one to ten. Also
add a little lampblack. About three
pints of oil will be absorbed per set
of harness. ° Heat well and apply as

Gambling by women atthe horse rages
is the more modern form in which the
gambling instinct of the sex finds expres-
sions Every now and then a little whiff of
scandal at gaming and of play for high
stakes in high life is blown to as across the
ocean, In these cases the women are as
much concerned as the men, indeed. the
love of play is as strong in women es in
men. It was only the other day that a
woman who had lost heavily at the races
tried to commit suicide by jumping into
the river.
Iu Moate Carlo the feminine clients fre-
quent the Casino with an avidity quite
equal to that of the )nen, and linger at the
spot of fascination till they lose sums that
astonish even the millionaire from the
West. Here may be seen in most demo.

gayly -dressed women that one sees on the
Boulevards of Paris, each eagerly staking
gold on the red or black, anxiously watch
ing the croupier, and sometimes appropri-
ating in their voracious excitement an-
other player's chips.
Besides the women gamblers there are
professional women bookmakers and pool-
room. keepers. Their customers are ex-
clusively women. In society there are
scores of women who play poker for money,
and many other women who would like to
play but lack the courage. Another fay.
orite form of gambling by women is stock
speculation.
The most noted woman gambler among
the royal set is ex Queen Isabella of Spain,
who has often lest and won large sums.
' History proves that she is riot the only
' notable personage who has taken pleasure
1 in this pursuit.
1 An ancient English allegory portraying
1 the imaginary origin of gantiug depicts the
character as a woman, the daughter of the
Goddess ofFortuneand
theGod of War.

childhood she could only find pleasure in
cards, dice, counters and games of chance

dowed'her with resideuces near the palaces
of kings, where every pleasure ministered
1 to the delighted senses. The visitors de-
, parted, some happy with precious spoils,
' others miserable, disappointed and despair -
1 ing, and escorted by the demon Suicide.
In Greece cards were not known, but the
'fashionable Athenian ladies got rid of
their husbands money bettingon cock
and
quail fighting and backing their favorites
at the Olympian and other games. Above
all there was the dice -box, which had an
irresistible fascination for Greek risen and
wotneu.
In Rome also dice were in great favor,
and so much . evil was wrought by their
means that prohibitory laws were 'enacted
by the very emperors who were the great-
est gamblers. Some of the emperors es-
tablished lotteries and curried favor with
the women by giving them tickets that en-
titled them to prizes.
Among the flourishing ItaIiatt,Republics
the vice lasted through the Middle Ages,
, and the Florentine and Milanese ladies
Irave their liege lords no end of trouble.
n 1340 a chronicler writes: °"The ladies
are shamefully decoiletees, in robes of silk
and gold. The hair is frizzled like bar -
hernias; they wear golden belts, like Amin-.
ons; walk the street with their shoes tnru-
ed up at thepoint, and spend all their time
• at games of dice."
Evelyn mentions the game. of basset,
which was invented in Venice, and became
( so popular in England that every lady of
pretention had a basset table in her boor-
doir or dressing -room. In England and
France it was not until the sixteenth sen-
• tury that the gambling mania attacked the
women 'with any severity. Henry IV,
would play with anyone he happened to
meet with, and, as the King and his
courtiers played every day. the ladies,
whoa) he could never bear out of his sight,
took part in these games likewise, and the
Queen herself, during her various illnesses;
used to invite the Marshal de Bassompierre
into her apartments to play . at hazard for
money to pass away the tedious hours of
convalesence.
Marie de Medici was an encourager of
gaming, and during her regency after the
death of Henry IV., the rage for gambling
became more violent, and ladies of high
rank were not ashamed to open gambling -
houses, aud even to theta when they could
not win otherwise. One French Countess
was discovered by her friend cheating her
tradestnen and women whom she had
invited to play with her She replied, on
being questioned: "Why, I only cheat
them of what they are always cheating
Me."
In the first years -of Louis XIV. wives

• Louis XV, indulged his favorites as his ,

the Duo de Moldiest undertook to teach
the famous and infamous Bine, Da Barry
lausquenet itt her boudoir, and in a few
minutes the fair one had eased the Duke's
pocket of 25,000louts d'or($125,000), much
to the King's amusement and delight, for
he was watching the game and was pleas-
ed itt his favorite's success. The beauti-
ful Mune, de Pompadour, another fatvor-
ite, also won and lost enormous aunts.
In the next reign female gaunblers,.
though perhaps not more extrevag tut then
before, yet caused more scandal. The'
coach of state wits going down hill to the
revolution, aud seemed to increase la vel-
ocity as it neared the bottom of the de-
cline. The princes of the blood and conrt-
iera who instilled into the Queen Marie
Antoinette the unfeminine and uuroyal
passion for horses and horse -racing induct-
ed her also to engage in high play and pro.
bibbed games of chance.
Faro was played in the Queen's apart-
ments at very high stakes, Both site and
the Comte d'Artois lost enormous same,
and many of the courtiers were entirely
ruined, Public rumor exaggerated these
losses and they excited the greatest indig-
nation, as the losers did not pay their law-
tnl debts. The scandal was the greater as
faro was strictly forbidden, even to princes
and princesses of the blood. It was,
nevertheless, played at the housea of Dime,
denetnruee, the Princess de Lamballe
a.,i;.Kt the Queen's rooms,
A% leap no one would play at court for
fear of beiug ruined, and to find partners
and opponents the Queen was soon led to
admit il.e worst society. Her card parties
of:nseq,;ently became tumultuous and scan-
drlons. Marie Antuinette's salon was
open to all; blackguards were introduced,
and One was arrested who gave one of the
bankers a rouleau of chips instead of louts.
Some of the Qneen's gambling companions
picked Count Dillon's pocket and got 500
lonis d'or ($2,500.)
In England things had been nearly as
bad. Elizabeth was no gambler, but when
the Stnarts ascended the throne play ran
high. Henrietta Maria, the wife of Charles
the First, iuherited the gambling tastes of
het father, the amorous and pleasure -
loving Henri IV., and when Bassornpierre,
also an arrant "snort," was in Euglattul on

When Charles the Second was restored
the pleasures and manners of his court
were practically identical with the French
court, and his bemttiful favorites, the
Duchess of 3lnz:trin, the Duchess of Cleve-
land, the Duchess of Portsmouth, Nell
Gtvynne, and their associates carried geniis- ,
ling to lengths hefure unknown in Eng -
hind. The Duchess of Mazarin, a Mince of

beggary. Nell Gwynne Mat 45,000 to her
rival, the Duchess of Cleveland, at one sit-'
ttIl<+ and the imaieuso fortune of the
latter was squandered at the basset
table..
in 1790 Chief Justice Kenyon delivered
a charge in which he dealt on this scandal ,
and threatened to send even the first
ladies of the land to the pillory if they
were convicted of play at faro before him.
Gilray, the fatuous caricaturist, Imide an
imaginary picture of the most-onspionous
offenders standing itt the pillory, calling
them "Pharaoh's. or Faro's Daughters."
In 1797 Lttdy Buckinghamshire, a very
notorious gaurbler, got into trouble with
the city authorities, being convicted. with
Lady Lutterell and airs. Start at the police

Skating ou real lee in summer attire,
says the Sa.i Francisco Call, is rapidly be- •
corning one of the most popular indoor
amusements in San Francisco, To native'
sons and daughters who have never experi-
enced the rigors of an Eastern winter, it is
a thrilling novelty, To those who have
enjoyed the exhilaratiug sport in the laud
of blizzards and frosts, it is made more en-
joyable by the fact that winter dress le un-

red9 who can skate and many who are
speedily learning. The sheet of ice is five
incites in thickness, 100 feet long, and six-
ty feet wide. At least 500 persons can
skate with comfort at a time, but it was a
trifle crowded on the openiug night, for no
less than 811 glided or struggled over the
slippery surface, according to the respec-
tive skill of the skate wearers.
'This ideaof a big skating rink with
natural ice," said W. iV Donaldson. "is
not exactly a new one itt this country.
Right hate itt this oity it has been tried
three times, bat each attempt failed be-
cause the organizers did not master the in-
tricate mechanical appliances. This is the
first natural ice skating rink operated in
the United States, and the fourth in the
world. There is one in Paris, another in
Berlin, and a third in Southampton, Eug-
ltind.
ow is this natural ice produced?
There is no secret alppnt it. The ice is
produced by a machine of the ordinary
typo employed in cold storage . work. The
difference here is in the manner of freez-
ing. In cold storage it is done in tanks
and insulated rooms. Here the ice is
frozeu tliree times a day, and the refriger-
einent used is anhydrous ammonia. fits
is employed to cool the strong brine.
After the bring is cooled it is pumped
through a system of pipes 40,000 feet in
length, which run through the water that
is turned into lee. The cold bribe absorbs
the heat. The floor beneath is insulated
and made up 01 dead air cells and covered
with lead to make it watertight.
"In the placing of the pipes lies the
principal secret. The pipes run in three
centres from a header at each end of the
tank. These headers are six inches in
dianeter, the pipe is taken out u, each
h
header at six-inch eeutres, This admits
of circulating the brine from bath encs at
the sante that. The return is also taken
from both ends and carried back to the
brine tank. By this means we have at

this manner we have a perfectly smooth
surface three times a day. The water is
frozen at a temperature of about tea de-
grees above zero, which would be as cold,
probably, and as lard as ice frozen iu any
cold comatty when the temperature is

near enough tor most praotiettl purposes.
Sinee then the amateur squarer of the cir-
cle has been it thorn in the side of the pro-
fessionatl mathematician. Learned socie-
ties, at last, in pure self-defence, made a
rule that all solutions of the problem seat
to them should, without exitmtination, be
coneignet1 to the fiatnes. In the last ten -
tory a Frenelnmut named Medullas was so
t;tire ha ]tall succeeded itt sc narimtr the
circle that he offered it reward of 51,000
to +anyone who proved its solation arson
Botts. It was ahowtt to be erroneous if not
to his own aatlsfaetiom. at least to that ;tf
the coons, and Ire had to pay the looney.
Mathematicians ht.ve long been convinc'et
that the solution was itupossible; amt it is
otily a few tears lsluce they were able to
demonstrate this. A German professor
named Latidnnantt published ht 188i n'
