1t is gratifying to us to note the fact
that Messrs. John Cameron and j. Q.
Morrison were the lucky owners OF one
fifth Of ticket No. 1884 in The Lou
isiana State Lottery which drew the
e25 900 prize in the Drawing OF July
IA. This forever does away with the
reasoning Of those crying fraud, be-
cause these gentlemen are too well
known to admit Of n thought for
moment that they would lend them
selves AS parties to deceive the public.
The fact Is, they held the ticket and it
has been promptly cashed and our
good friends wear broad smiles because
OF their good luck. In the face OF un-
disputable facts some will doubt that
which has been demonstrated beyond a
doubt to any reasonable mind. Talk
with those gentlemen and you will then
know that The Louisiana Stste Lottery
cashes its drawings and thnt persons
do not have to stand in with them to be
lucky. We rejoice with our good
friends and hope that they may again
hold the winning nun Der.

But let me describe scene when,
one morning in mid ocean, there came

by cry: 1.-The ships rudder is lost!"
From the confident expression, con-
sternati on came to every face. The
wheelman being helpless to direct her
course. the vessel was at the mercy of
wind and wave.

In the competitive driil the only entries
were Reynolds Post g. A. r., Of this city, and

were regular army officers. The contest was

PECULIAR WOODS.


A Block whose Woody Fiber Forms a Per-
feet Maltese Cross.
Il have the 'dead-wood' on you," re-
marked Prof Rothrock in response to
the applause which greeted him as he
appeared in the lecture-room at Horti-
cultural Hall, Paramount Park, Satur-
day afternoon. In his arms he carried
number of chunks of peculiar
woods to better illustrate his lecture.
His subject was peculiar Woods. -
The lecturer explained that peculiar
exogenous woods were those that diff
fered IN important particulars from the
normal or average growth. He CLASH
fled them as peculiar in color, weight
and manner of development. He
showed several specimens having pecul-
iarities of color. There are no less
than sixteen plants grown in the United
States that are peculiar. because they
are of greater weight than water and
will therefore sink when placed in it.
These heavy woods grow in the South
ern States, in the damp atmosphere of
the country adjacent to the Gulf of
Mexico, and also in the drv climate of
Arizona and New Mexico. Their pecul-
iarty is due evidently to heat more
than to any other one agent. He next
exhibited number of specimens of
peculiar growth, showing with the aid
of the blackboard that they had not
grown as trees usually do, with perfect
medullary and cambium formations.
Sometimes, instead Of the regular rings
formed at the ends of the several years
growth, they have bark soundings, be-
coming as it were, trees within trees.
The professor showed one block in
which the woody fiber had formed a
perfect Maltese cross, another q check
er-board surface, and several others
nearly as remarkable. Philadelphia

An Ingenious Westerner Who Believed In
Calling Things by Their Right Names.
The daughter of Boston merchant

nections and boundless hospitality was
lately married The Western agent of
the merchant happened to be in town,
and, as the proud father was inviting

ding, he invited the Westerner, too.
The Westerner came. He was uneasy,
and shifted about from place to place
in the house as if he were hunting for
spots that fitted him better than those
he had been in. He put his hands nom
chalantly on things and took them off
again suddenly. as if he found them hot,
and grinned Familiarity at people he had
never seen before, and then suddenly
drew his features back with CHASTITY
solemnity. 1t seemed to be an occasion
of great and overwhelming novelty to
him.
When the refreshments came around
he was inclined to fight shy of pretty
nearly everything. 1t was as if he pro-
posed to take on little Boston form
atty, now that he was in Boston, and
require an introduction to every dish.
His host saw that he wasn't eating
much, and came around to see about it.

just then waiter came along with
some croquettes.
'Mr. West, take one of these cro-
QUOTES; think you'll like them; take

The Westerner took one. He punched
it with his fork. laid it open bit. and
examined it critically. Then he tasted
it and exclaimed

Apothecaries in Germany.

In Germany no one can open an
apothecary's shop without a special
permit from the Government, which is
very difficult to secure. Berlin, with
1,400, 600 inhabitants, has only seventy
eight such shops, or one to every 90.
900 inhabitants. Consequently the
apothecaries are all well-to-do people.
There are also a number of drug stores
where miscellaneous articles are for
sale, but where no prescriptions can be
prepared on pain of heavy fines. Every
precaution is taken to secure safety
from accidents and tirst-class medica-
ments. Poisonous articles are only
given on the stamped recommends
ton of physician, and the poison has
to be kept in special room. There
are Government inspectors who at
various times. and without previous
notice. visit the apothecaries and exam
inc their stock. If stale or valueless
medicaments are found, reprimand
follows, and repetition of the offense
costs the apothecary his concession
The prices are regulated by law, al
lowances being made for the great
waste entailed by the necessity of
throwing away old and getting fresh
supplies.--N y Post.

GREAT SALT LAKE.
The Shr unken Remnant OF a Great Fresh
Water Lake System.

-
Water Lake System.
Great Salt Lake is in fact not branch
of the sea at all, but mere shrunken
remnant of very large fresh water
lake system, like that of the still exist
ing st. Lawrence chain. Once upon a
time, American biologists say, huge
sheet of water, for which they have even
invented definite name. Lake Bonnie
vile, occupied a far larger valley among
the outliers of the Rocky Mountains,
measuring three hundred miles in one
direction by one hundred and eighty
miles in the other. Beside this print
tive Superior lay great second sheet
an early Huron-Q Lake Lahontan the
biologists call it, almost as big and
equally of fresh water. By and by
the precise dates are necessarily indefi-
mite change in the rainfall, I'M
registered by any contemporary, made
the waters of these big lakes shrink
and evaporate. Lake Lahontan
shrank away like Alice in Wonder
land. till there was absolutely nothing
left of it; Lake Bonneville shrank
till it attained the diminished
size of the existing Great Salt
Lake. Terrace after terrace, running
in long parallel lines on the sides of the
Wahsatch Mountains around, mark the
various levels at which it rested for
awhile on its gradual downward course.
1t is still falling indeed. and the plain
around is being gradually uncovered,
forming the white, salt-encrusted shore
with which all visitors to the Mormon
city are so familiar. But why should
the water have become brinyp Why
should the evaporation of an old Su-
perior produce at last Great Salt Lake?
Well, there is small quantity of salt
in solution even in the freshest of lakes
and ponds, brought down to them by
the streams and rivers. and, as the
water of the hypothetical Lake Bonnie
vile slowly evaporated, the salt and
other mineral constituents remained be-
hind. Thus the solution grew con-
stantly more and more concentrated,
till at the present day it is extremely
saline. Professor Geikie Ito whose
works the present paper is much in
debted) found that he fioated on the
water in spite of himself; and the under
sides of the steps at the bathing places
are all encrusted with short stalactites
Of salt, produced from the drip of the
bathers as they leave the water. The
mineral constituents, however. differ
considerably in their proportions from
those found in true salt lakes of marine
origin, and the point at which the salt is
thrown down is still far from having
been reached. Great Salt Lake must
simmer in the sun for many centuries
yet before the point arrives at which
