 A plump little Celestial, his almond eyes twinkling with delight and an extraordinary grin lighting up his yellow countenance, drop ped in to witness the lottery drawing the other day.
 He watched the blindfolded boys draw the numbers from the wheel with apparent inter- est, and bore the jokes of the crowd around with evident good nature.
 Say, John, you washee that mans shirtee ?" asked one of the crowd, pointing to one of the benevolent looking commits sioners.
 'sI washee heapee plenty shirtee if I vince plize,'' replied the bland Mongolian
 Have you got ticket, John?" inquired the man in the crowd.
 ''Well, me tlinkee me habee,' replied the Chinaman, drawing one from his pocket. 'tTlickee win?" he inquired.
 The man in the crowd looked at the number and scanning his list found that it had como in for $500 prize.

The Bottle Business.

Interesting Facts In Regard to the Trade
 in Boston and Other rCities-AstonisIling
 Figures in Regard to the Amount of the
 scaIesLEnormous Qua antilles Handed
 by Secondhand Dealers.
 From the Boston Advertiser-]
 Representatives from majority of the six teen New Jersey bottle and lamp chimney manufactories have been canvassing the Bos- ton market during the week, soliciting orders for delivery in the winter and early spring. Makers oi the chimneys are asking an ad- vance of twenty five per cent. on last years prices, and talking very enthusiastically of putting on another twenty-five when the fur naces are lighted, Monday, September 6. This advance would not have much effect up- on the consumer, as at the outside the job bers would be able to supply their trade at three and five cents each while the present retailing price, five and eight cents, gives sufficient margin for the last sellers profit even on an advanced cost. The Boston chimney trade is considered: better than that of any Atlantic city, not only on account of it's volume, but because of the preponderance of the best. From the estimates of these folks 1t would appear that on an average Boston will find a sale for not less than 300 barrels day from July through to February, although some figure a steady market here of 500 barrels day. Each barrel contains sev- en dozen costing to lay down here now about g. 85 8 barrel The leading item in common glass is lager-beer bottles; of these Boston this season consumes over 15,O00 gross. In fact, it is the largest market in the country, and st the Long Branch glass makers meeting two weeks ago, it was unan- inaously agreed to give the Boston dealers special discount, which, as one present stated was to hold the Boston market from being consolidated upon one factory. This year Boston has been by far the lowest priced point. Last summer the sdsmand for beer bottles increased fifty per cent. over that of the summer of 1878, and our local dealers, fearing a short stock for this summer, and hearing rumors of an advance, placed orders for about 20, 1000 gross just before the annual shutting down. At that time the factory price was $5 gross, but with the September start-up, and the influence of the general boom, tho makers advanced to $11, at which price, it is stated, two-thirds of the lager-beer bottles in other cities have been supplied The increased demand for lager bottles was noticeable throughout the country, and as each bottle takes pound of green glass, the prices on all common glass goods have been advanced since September, 1879, from forty to fifty per cent, while flint or white glass is not more than ten per cent higher. Lager bottles hold four ounces of liquid, and if the congratulations of the makers will be taken, next year Boston will want 25, GOO gross. The demand for mineral-water bottles has fallen of.

Among the mechanical contrivances now to be seen. .at the Brussels Exposition is an cleo trio railway, which has track of it's own in the grounds, and conveys passengers for a few cents on an exciting little journey around the flower beds and fountains, closing by dash ing through very dark tunnel (of black mus lin) and landing the traveller at the starting point The motive power is inclosed in wood en box, about the size of 8 Saratoga trunk, and is easily managed by one person. Moth ing in the entire exposition has attracted more general attention than this curious little railway. The officials, however, either do not understand the system or are indisposed to give strangers much information about it. A similar railway is now on exhibition at Dusseldorf, and has created quite a sensation there.

Esthetic Women at RLOndOn Tea.
 [From the Nondon World.I

And the women? What is to be said of them with their marvellous color and combi- nations, and their picturesque appearance,
 and the virginal, downcast of look which has come in with tight-cut, flowing garments and the penthouse roof style of the tangled, eye darkened locks? Here is a girl in chromatic
 scale of burnt-sienna drapery. Several
 different tints blend and mingle and cause her to resemble living cup of rhubarb and mag
 nesia like what the nurse of our childhood inflicted on our shrinking selves as we sat up in bed shivering in our night-gowns and listened to the gentle tinklingof the teaspoon that heralded the nauseous draught. Children now know nothing about filthy physic; and this fair girl, with her hyacinthine locks and sparkling blue eyes, little reeks the memories she has inspired us with. This grand crea- ture is the goddess Juno, with sua7e1y flowing robes of grass green, bordered at the edge with golden traoery, and bonnet (is it a bonnet or
 s it not rather the nimbus of the gods?) all stud ded with big ox-eyed daisies. How majestically she moves who is it? She was once little bare foot model running nudely in the mud; now she has married 8 great painter whose ideal is Greek; so his wife wears Junos dress and looks monstrous well in it too, by love Here comes, surely our Lady of Despair, who has eaten of Dead Sea fruit and has found it cal cined with bitterness and salt-tasting tears. Her brow is sad; her eyes are wide and dark trimmed; her face is long and angular; her garments are sad-colored and might be stain ed from their appearance, with the dews and tolls of years of travel-green that has turned blue, pink that has faded into yellow, white that has merged into pale grey-these are the tints she affects; her hands white and worn-in one she carries lily, for she is an admirer of Burne-Jones-and her husband keeps large draper's shop in the city. And the little lady here is poetess, decked with barbaric looking gold ornaments and black and crimson gown. What pretty little face it is and what speaking, frightened-looking, fawn-like eyes! She writes of love-well who could help loving her :? And this one is a musician-the inky locks thrown back and curling into waving rings, like a Medusa head. She has composed an anthem and 'tMiserere, ." and wears brown dress, with plaitings at the waist and strasght dull folds, like the Maconnas of Fra Angelica.
