lOTTEItlES AND LUCK 7WCKS THAT HAVE BEEN PLAYED BY FICKLE FORTUNE. . 5ome Initanrrt That Aptly Illustrate the Troth of the Old Adage Th&t There Is Manr at Slip Twill the Cap mad the - Tfccre aro few things with which ro - mane is xncra closely connected than the distribution cf lottery prize, and tbcre can be no doubt that we Britons aro all the tetter o'J because cf the ille- pnlity cf holding lotteries in the United Kingdom.' A big lottery must disap point hnnorri cf thousands while it enriches cne winner, who cften finds that his hastily acquired wealth results in doing him more harm than good. Albert time ago the first .prize in . end of the Italian state lotteries, which arnountl to crno XS.00O, fell to a peasant who, vritb his wife, had actually died cf narration within a few hours cf the drawing of the prize- Owing to a dream in which a peasant ad tho presentiment that a certain number would be on the ticket which would win the splendid prize, he scraped oil his money together and pur chased cot tho ticket he wanted, be .came it was already mid, but one which here the same numeral, differently ar ranged. Then he and his wife fell on dtfrperately bard times, which eventual ly clcted nrcn tbem in death from sheer starvation, for be bad tried and failed to II his Ictury chance, which was the lift thing left to him. , When tho drawing carno cn, ho won the firit rrize c! .C0O. but as he was dead and no next cf kin could be discov ered the rrize was raC!ed for a:;ain, when it felt to swell the puro cf an Italian Lanier who already was pes osed cf a.-t wealth. A German lady living in Erunswick bd a fancy that a certain ticket would win a prizo iu a lottery in which the first prize was IS, 000. It may seem strange, but it is vouched for as being perfectly tn:, that she so altered her opinion as to the chances cf her ticket winning a prize tLat she Lartcred it away lor a Lew i.at ircxxi cer nmllner within a few days cf having purchased This was a melancholy exception to the rule that "tccond thoughts are al ways best. The ticket which she had exchanged for a hat, pcssitly worth a couple cf guinea. succeeded in captur ing the rt prize cf 1,IC0, and the raillixwr, who ciuisidert-d he had run ' his ritk. absolutely rtfusod to palliate his customer's titter disappointment by anything beyend the payment of a few pound, which were dragged from him Cy Tjcllo-rr threats cf legal action. On cso occasion tho first prize in an Italian lottery, .amounting to nearly 3, COO. fell to a man who had died throe days before the ra&e, the second prlro cf 2,000 f!l to a lady who had old her lucky ticket at the eleventh hour, and the third prizo cf 1,000 to a x rrirate soldier who, cu hearing ef his good fortune, drank himself mad and thea committed suicide. For4 want cf claimants who could establish their claims satifiactcrily, the first and third trizeawero again rafiled for, and this time they both fell to the a mo person the owner cf cue cf the largest pri vate estates in Austria, who was quite Indifferent a tout the addition to his al ready hugo fortune. -Silly superstitions play on important part in the buying and selling cf lottery ticket, and it is no uncommon thing for a person who fancies a certain tium tr to buy it at a. price equal to hun dreds cf times its original cot, and many cf those who indulge in this kind cf speculation with the fixed idea cf gain generally discover that it is an expensive game- A German banker conceived the idea that tho first rrize in a certain lottery . would fall to the holder of a ticket on Which the Cguro three stood either alone crvith ethers. i5o greatly impressed was ho with this belief that ho bought op every ticket that bore tho numeral three, a little deal which cost him some thousands cf pornds, becauso many .cf tho tickets he fancied were held by per tecs to whom he had to pay fancy prices. Ono cf these persons when approach ed cn the matter refused to sell his ticket an leu j the tanker purchased a complete bundle cf 20, cf which he was anxious to get rid. The banker did cot wish to do thi-, as there was enly cue ticket tearing a three in the bundle. but he ultimately consented, took the ticket be wanted and gave the vender back all the ethers. Great must have been his annoyance cn discovering late that the first prizo had not fallen to him, but had been won by one cf the tickets he had bought and scorned. Iicndcn Tit-tits. I ...

There would be nothing about tho air cr weather to account for such a variation, but the caked fact was indisputable, and the phenomenon is at the bottom of many an otherwise unaccountable wreck. LIVING IN THE COUNTRY. RnraJ Gronlns FondnfM For Life a Good Sign. In The Ladies' Ilonfe Journal Edward Eck. with much satisfaction, notes the strong tendency to country living and believes that "it is one cf the best signs cf the times. Nothing in the world can keep a man or woman so young and fresh as to te able to be in touch each day with the perpetual freshness and youth cf nature. Suburban life means mcro cut cf door living, and that is what we Americans all need. We want more exercise, and suburban living makes that easier. We want our inter est in things kept fresh, and that nature does for us as oothing else can. "The more our busy men see of na ture's restful ways the more restful will they become. The closer we keep our children to the soil the healthier Near tho center of the city is a clock will they be physically and the stronger the hours on a deep toned will they develop mentally.; ice more in the pure air which that strikes bell. Sometimes the note may te heard almost to the suburbs. On other days, or rather other night, it is inaudible outside a radius of half a dozen blocks. Oddly enough, the bell seems clearest and its true most penetrating in turbu lent weather, irrespective of the direc tion cf the wind. New Orleans Times- Democrat. A Itemarkable Lake. The most remarkable body of water in the world lies in the vicinity of the Colorado river, in southern California. In this region of ugly volcanoes, deso late wastes and slimy swamps, the strangest phenomenon of all is what the naturalitts call a "lake of ink." No other description fits as well. The strange black fluid that forma the lake tears no resemblance to water. Tho pool cf ink is situated about half mile from a volcano. It is about an acre in area. The surface is coated with gray ahts from the volcanoes to the thickness cf about six inches, thus con cealing its real nature. Experience has proved that the black fluid of the lake is cot poisonou. It act a- a dye, and cotton goods soaked u it keip Their coJcr for mouth, even when cipoj-ed to the sun. They also ac quire a stiffness similar to that produced ly weak starch. The fluid has been analyzed, but its component parts have cot tt n made known. As to tho source cf tho supply of the lake, nothing defi nite has been ascertained. It'is undoubt edly of volcanic crigiu, tut nothing moro definite, is known. This is a kid land that has never been traversed. Human beings bavo tried it, tut they never return to tell of their ex perience cr their discoveries.

' "The more the tired housewife sees or flowers and plants and trees the closer will become her interest in all things natural and simple, and, as she sees the simplicity with which nature works un consciously, will the lesson be forced up on her and enter into her own methods. Wo all agree that there Is ' oo teacher like nature herself. Let us all, then, get as close to her as possible.! Whatever she tenches is wholesome to tbe mind and uplifting to the soul and strength ening to the body. In the very act of studying her wonderful ways there i9 health. ' THE ALBATROSS. Wet and Damp. The sudden application of a wet sheet is a stimulus to which the system re sponds with a reaction which sets up a brisk circnlation, resulting in a healthy clow and general activity of the organs. In addition to this, it is probable that soaie of the evil humors" of the body may be dissolved out through the pores of the skin. All this is healthy, provided the sys tem can withstand the shock and the heat is kept in by blankets outside the sheet. In tba case of damp sheets, how ever, there is no stimulus, and the body merely loses heat in absorbing the mois ture. f y This loss contracts the surface vessels and drives an excess of blood back upon the Internal organs. Added to this dis turbance of the blood circulation there is also a congestion of the lubricating fluids of tho surface muscles and joints, which produces stiffness and in serious cases rheumatism, complicated through the other causes with fever. ' W Catarrlh Leads . to flOM A Forertf nner of the Licit Fatal Disease, j .la Italian Teaaant. The Poletti's littlo cottage stands in a field and is semidetached. Like many cf their class in Italy, they have a great love for and pride iu their home. The furniture is well polished, the tools and utensils arranged with an attempt at decoration, and all is clean and neat. It is a two roomed house. Ou the ground floor is tho kitchen, where tho boy's bed stands under the stair which leads to tho upper room. Here aro two large teds, cue for the parents, tho other for the two girls. In the kitchen stand a walnut wood table and a sideboard of autiquo design, an heirloom of tbo mother's; a walnut chest holds tho bed and table linen and another old chest tho best clothes: tho everyday clothes aro kept in a chest up stairs. They try to add something every year to tho house linen. Sometimes the mother and daughters teg the use cf a littlo plot of ground, which they sow with flax, and tho year following they spin and weave it themselves, borrow ing a loom from a farmer. Their stock compares iavorabJy witn that oi tne better cfT English cottager, to say noth ing of the quality of this homemade linen compared to that bought cheap at a country shop. Fortnightly Keview. A nird of Majestic Aerial Velocltr ' and Insatiable Appetite.' Out of the blue void the albatross comes enhasting on motionless pinions, yet at such speed that one j moment a speck hardly discernible, turn but your eyes mvay, and ere you can 'again look round he is gliding majostically over head. Nothing in nature conveys to the mind so wonderful an idea of effortless velocity as does his calm appearance from vacancy. Like most cf the true pelagic birds, he is a devourer of offal, the successful pursuit of fish being im possible to his maicstio'evolutions. His appetite is enormous, but his powers of abstinence are equally great, and cften for days he goes without other nourish ment than a drink of the bitter sea. At the Gargantuan banquet provided by a carcass of a dead whale he i will gorge himself until incapable of rising from the sea, yet still his angry scream may be heard as if protesting against his in ability to find room for more provision against hungry days soon to follow. Despite his incomparable grace of flight when gliding through midair with his migbfy wings outspread, when asboro or on deck he is clumsy and ill at ease. Even seated upon tho sea, his proportions appear somewhat ungainly, while his hnge hooked beak seems too heavy to be upheld. On land he can hardly balance himself, and! the broad silky webs of his feet soon become lacer ated.1 Thus bis visits to the lone and generally inaccessible rocks which are his breeding places are as brief as may be, since even conjugal delights are dearly purchased with hunger and pain ful restraint. A true child j of the air, land is hateful to him, and only on the wing does be appear to be really at home and easeful. London Spectator. Dlabop BiTalo BUI. A rather good story is told about Bishop Doane and another member of the Episcopal house of bishops from the middle states, who is fond of a joke, as many of the venerable gentlemen of the church are Eisbop Doane addresses his colleagues with whom he is on especial ly familiar terms by the name of their diocese instead of by their surnames, and in correspondence frequently makes use oi cis own ana oiner lines, relates the Washington Times. j It is related that on one occasion be wrote a letter to the other bishop refer red to and in signing it used the term William of Albany" instead of his came. His correspondent promptly re plied to tho letter, and in his answer said: . . ; "It is really too bad,'; bishop, that yon are not of the western diocese of your state instead of Albany. If yon were, yoa mignt very appropriately sign yourself 'Buffalo Bill.' Though its offensive features are sometimes almost unbearable, few people are aware of the danger of which Catarrh is the forerun ner. Catarrh invariably leads to Consumption.

But no good what ever can be expected from local applications, as such treatment never did cure Catarrh, and! never will. I had sack a sevsro eus of Catarrh that I lost my hearing In one ear, and part of the bone in my nose sloughed paV I was constantly treated with sprays "and washes, but each winter tne disease seemed - to have a firmer, hold on me.

I . "Would you like a ride in one of the swan boats, Marjorie?" asked the little maid's aunt as they crossed the bridge over the pond cne day. "No, indeed," said Alariorie, with sudden shrinking. "I couldn't bear to see them throw the babies in. "The man says that's what he does," she asserted with rising excitement as her nunt looked much perplexed. "Hear him 1 lie '8 saying it now.' Her aunt listened, and of a truth the man's statement, viewed j from Mar jorie's standpoint, was far from reas suring. "Take a ride in the swan boats," he called loudly from the landing. "Grown folks, 10 cents; children, 5," and then, with a deceptive smile, he added, "Ba bies thrown in."
