Mate sand :dates have to be proposed by a mini already admitted. You can usually hind it sponsor by taking a tIve- infinite stroll on the terrace. Ludies, in spite of modern ntovements for the emancipation of their sex, are re- quired to be proposed and seconded by two nuile members of the club. In practice this presents no diffeuity,und when the further preliminary of pay- ing another 50 francs has been achieved you receive your carte d'ad- ntission and are free to ascend the stairs. Above are the gambling rooms, an admirably conducted restaurant. cloak rooms, toilet rooms and the bur. This last-named small room, with some high chairs at the touter, a trent array of bottles in the back- ground and a dozen small tables with chairs ranged round the reinalifing three walls is the daily meeting place of all the \society\ gamblers (and of some others) who frequent Monte Carlo In the season.

Certain Conditions of Sky and Light Make Them Practically Inv.sibIe to Ship's Lookouts. — Early summer is the real season of the lecherg in the North Atlantic. ills then that these frozen masses are set free in great nbuntlance in the Polar regions and are drifted Into mill -ocean by favoring winds and currents. They have been found several hun- dred miles below the southernmost latitude tat the British Isles and prove a very serious meow* to vessels which hove to cross their truck. The terrible fide of the Titanic has been that of many another noble vessel, though hap- pily, without proving so disastrous to human life. Can an iceberg become invisible un- der certoin etintlitions of sky and light? It Is claimed that it can—on a clear, starry night, when the conditions make the berg nearly the same color as the sky. But night-time, under any atmos- pheric conuiltions, Is usually it had time for seeing bergs at a safe distance. This difficulty in making them out is one of the reasons why their height Is so often exaggerated. Mist or fog, too, will ningnify n berg immensely, just as a fog in the Arctic regions has been known to make a fox look as big as a white bear. _ Does experience show that a berg has nine parts of its mass below water I'' only one part illitive7 It does not. And for this reason—that the sub- merged portion is usually much broad en and heavier than the exposed part. So tlutt it Is not tteCessary for nine - tenths of the berg to be under water to keep the entire mass floating up- right. It Is in the southern hemisphere. chiefly, where fields of ice miles long are found. Olue which was reported by a Inrge number of vessels In the year IsS4 was OP miles long mud 411 miles broad, with an average height of 300 feet. In these cases many Icebergs had mane together and formed into ono soltlidly frozen mass. Bergs sometimes carry strange freights. One of the flat-topped va- riety, 100 feet high, was seen in 111111 - Atlantic bearing three vessels on Its ley summit. Another, near the banks of Newfoundland, had several Polar bears walking about on it.

OLD AND PLEASANT CUSTOM As This Wr.ter Prints Oat, the Prac- tice of KIssing Has Much to Recommend It. Kissing is an established custom In all countries inliablits1 by white people who refrain at tittles •from eating onions. It is a practice that ketoses the longevity and universal distribu- tion of germ life and encourages the habit of matrimony. Some one who didn't know much about kissing said years age that stolen kisses are sweetest. The opin- ion is still quoted, but all persons who have had any experience of kissing linow hotter. A kiss Is never wholly satisfaetory unless the kisser and the kissed show an equal degree of eu. thuslasm. Kissing a pretty girl does not afford the unalloyed bliss it Is commonly sup- posed to afford. If site has never been kissed before, her perfoomince Is crude and Hitless and, therefore, a little bit disappointing, and If she has been kissed too often she displays a degree of technique that robs tile kiss of Its flavor. In mite old clays the flavor of a kiss wits Imaginary; you couldn't taste anything but girl. But frequent- ly the modern girl's kiss has the stale and unprofitable 'tutor of rouge. Some day a shrewd Manufacturer will put out a line of rouge in all the popular flavors—% anilla, strawberry, lemon and the like—mid then each girl can offer her young man the flavor be prefers. —Baltimore I:veiling Sun.
