He Got the Money.

The New York San tells this story of
the late Commodore Vanderbilt: A few
years before the war the commodore pur-
chased with Commodore Vanderbilt a
majority of the stock of the line now
known as the Pacific Mail The part
ners diagreed, and each wanted to buy
the other out. At last Commodore Gar.
rison received an offer of several millions
from Vanderbilt. Garrison accepted.
and Vanderbilt paid him in notes. After
the notes had run for some time Mr..
Thorne, Vanderbilt's son-in-law, went to
Garrison and said that Vanderbilt did
not want to be paying interest any
longer, and offered to settle for the full
amount This was accepted, Vanderbilt
sending around check for the princi-
pal. Commodore Garrison put it in his
pocket, and walked down to Wander
bits office, 3 Bowling Green.
''Look here, Vanderbilt" he said,
striking the check against the palm of
his hand, 81 want the interest on this
money"
''Do you?" replied Vanderbilt. "What
will you do if you don't get it9"
"Do9 III show you what l will do, "
replied Garrison, closing the door and
locking it.
No one knew what passed, but ten
minutes afterward Garrison emerged
from the door of No. bearing a check
for the full amount, principal and in
terest. Neither of the commodores
could ever be prevailed on to disclose
the secret of that interview.

Lovers OF Lotteries,

In Italy the weekly lottery has becom,
almost a second nature to the people
says Chicago Times correspondent
Books are published to guide the choic,
of numbers with reference to dreams anG
events, both ordinary and extraordinary
If you dream of cat, you are bound ia
play this number; if of dog, to play
that, combining the two numbers in a
fashion which the book duly describes
should you dream of both dog and cat.
But it is from real not visionary,
accident that your richest harvest may
be reaped, and the greater the accident
the richer the harvest. If your child
tumbles down stairs and breaks leg,
you count the number of stairs, rush to
the lottery office, and play the combina-
ton of stairs, child, and fall. When
the cholera broke out last year in Naples
certain numbers indicated by the calam.
ity were played so generally, and. strange
to say, so successfully, that the govern.
ment lottery banks lost heavily. The
other day, at table d'hote, a CONNER
cial traveller told us oil with great ami.
nation of cruel disappointment which
had just befallen him. He had had the
luck while travelling in the mountains, to
have an accident by which his carriage
was almost broken to bits. He immedi-
ately utilized the chance by making ur
the prescribed combination of numbers
representing carriage, accident, noun
tain, alarm, and the day of the month.
He flew to the nearest lottery Office; II
was closed. A Sicilian hotel servant
(true to his indolant naturc) would not BE-
induced by the offer of five francs to
take the numbers to the office of the ad-
joining village. The would-te gamble,
was forced to accept his destiny With
the Italian formula of ''pazienza" (pa.
tience). But imagine the feelings of the
ingenious but baked Spectator whep
the very next day all his five numbers
"a most rare occurrence) were drawn at
Palermo, and he found that he had thus
missed fortune!

Yam Phou Lee, of Canton, China, now
a student of Yale college, gave an inter-
esting lecture on "Chinese Women" at
the Dudley Street Baptist church at
Roxbury, Mass. recently. He spoke of
the prejudice existing among Cinnamon
against female children, and touched
upon the prevalence of the crime of in
fanticide, which he averred was largely
due to the preference for boys and to the
extreme poverty of those who were guilty
of it. He did not seek to defend the
practice or overlook its enormity, but
sought to excuse those who were often
forced to it through EXTREMIST destitu-
ton. Some parents sell their children.
Boys bring good price, while girls can
be han for the asking. Boys are pre-
ferred to girls because when IT, girls
grow up it is an expensive thing to mar
ry them off and more expensive when it
cannot be done, while boy is expected
to support his parents and glorify his
family. The lecturer spoke of the early
engagement and marriage of Chinese
girls and described the wedding cere-
mony. 1t was the intense desire of the
Chinese to rear large families, that the
family name might be carried down.
Should o man tire of his wife he has only
to take the trouble of sending her home
with note to her parents, explaining
the reason of her return. The Chinese
idea of q beautiful women is one with D
moon face, small eyes and mouth, slender
waist and small feet.

Peasant Life in Italy.

Life beneath an Italian sky is popu
larly imagined to be pleasing form of
existence, writes a correspondent. Such,
however, does not appear to be invariably
the case. Day laborers who possess moth
ing are the majority of the inhabitants;
they amount in Piedmont to one-ffth of
the population. The landlords are habit
ually absentees, taking no interest what
ever in their tenants, in return for which
they have excluded almost every man of
means from the list of councillors at the
communal elections. The townspeople
deride and despise country folks, and
are looked upon by them as proud and
selfish. In Novara the farm laborer is
said 'to contend with every species of
privation from the cradle to the grave. !"
His infancy is passed in the care of
strangers or rolling in the mud at seven
years old he receives few months per
year of schooling, and passes the re-
mainder in tending goats; at ten he al
ready gains some small wages; at twelve
he sleeps away from home and is regu-
larly employed, and at fifteen he
undertakes the hardest of farm
work. The men rise in summer at 2 A.
NJ, in winter at A. NJ, awakened by
beating a stick on an empty box; in the
former season they work from twelve to
fifteen hours per day. When ill the hos
pital receives them; when old and unfit
for work they are forsaken and uncared
for. Yet the peasants seldom take to
begging, even when deprived of all re-
sources. Girls take part in field work
at the age of fourteen or fifteen. At
night they catch frogs and fish in the
marshes. At thirty they are mature
women, old at forty, decrepit at fifty,
with bent backs and bronzed faces.
Every Michaelmas their household goods,
worth perhaps total of e6, are packed
on bullock cart, and new home or
situation is sought. In the hill regions
many of the villages are notable for their
excessive filth. Throughout the plains
master and workman live together for
years without the change of syllable
of good will. In every hamlet class dis
tinctions are complete down the entire
gamut of the social scale.

Buddha's TOOth-A Sacred Hindo0
Ranfa

The 'Palace Of the Sacred Tooth" is
meager erection to have such digniied
title. The building is small, has no pre-
tensions to architecture, and is so dilapi
dated that the rain comes through the
roof. The wihara, or chamber in which
the relic is kept, is small room, about
twelve feet square. At the entrance are
two sentry box-looking constructions
with glass windows. These are lamps
kept perpetually lighted, the flame not
having been allowed to die out for many
years. The sanctum is very splendid,
the roof and walls being lined with gold
brocade, and the frames of the door in.
laid with carved ivory. The air is op.
p!essive with the perfume of flowers and
spices. Flowers especially are a favorite
ogering at Buddha's shrine, and always
present in great profusion. On one oc
casion no less than $3.50, 800 flowers
were counted at the shrine, and it is re.
corded that in the fifteenth century
royal devotee sent 100, 900 flowers q day
for considerable time, and each day the
flowers were of different kind. The
karunda, or vessel containing the tooth,
stands covered on table of massive silver,
chased n the midst of q profusion OF
valuable articles of jewelry, which are
either relics or offerings. The most
beautiful in the collection is bird with
wings spread. 1t is formed entirely OF
diamonds, rubies, blue sapphires, etc.,
set in gold, which is hid by profusion
of gems. While we arc all admiring
this magnificent offering, the priests or
monks removed several folds of muslin
from the karundua, and discovered o
sort of dome of gilded silver, about five
feet high, studded with few gems.
When this was removed another was
found underneath, made of beautifully
carved gold. This was festooned with
jeweled chains and literally encrusted
with all the glittering gems for which
Ceylon is so elebrated-sapphires and
emeralds of extraordinary size, cats'-eyes
(much priced, rubies, amethysts, and
pearls. Another similar covering and
still another were taken off, when at last
was reached small case of gold,
covered externally with rubies, emeralds,
and diamonds, in which resting on the
leaves of gold lotus, was the tooth it.
self. The prince was about to take UP
the relic when he was stopped by the
Dewa Niteme (who is associated with the
priests as a guardian of the tooth), and
Informed it was too sacred to be touched
by human hands. - CasselPs Fdmils

Stanley ON the Congo.

H. H. johnson, in recent book on
the Congro region, gives the following
description of his meeting with Stanley
at Vivi, in station crowded with Zanzi-
baris: "Here he was, seated, on his
camp chair, his pipe in his mouth, and
semi.circle of grinning kinglets squattiug
in front of him, some of them smoking
long stemmed little-bowled pipes in
complacent silence, and others putting
many questions to 'Bula Matade' as to
his recent journey TO Europe-to
Mputo,' the land beyond the sea as
they call it-and receiving his replies
with expressions of incredulous wonder,
tapping their open mouths with their
hands. / paused involuntarily to look
at this group, for Stanley had not yet
seen me approaching .and was uncon-
scious of observation. Perhaps he never
posed better for his picture than at that
moment, as he sat bengnly chatting and
smoking with the native chiefs, his face
lighting up with amusement at their ma
tive remarks, while the bearing of his
head still retained that somewhat proud
carriage that inspired these African
chieftains with real respect for his
wishes and desire to retain his friend
ship. Any one observing Stanley at this
moment could comprehend the great in
fluence he possesses over the native mind
on the Congo, and could realize how
that influence must tend toward peace
wherever Stanley's fame has reached, for
to attack friend of Stanley's seems to
the natives scarcely less futile than at
lacking Stanley himself. Stanley turned
suddenly as the chief of the station in

thoroughly cordial manner; then, dis
missing the natives who had examined
me obviously under the belief that was
'Bula Matade's' son, he sent Dualla for
some tea. Dualla was handsome

Alden, and versed in many European and
African languages. He had been Stan
