A Cuatemnian Invests Two Dollars
and Now Has Thirty Thousand.

The assertion has frequently been
made that only the poor invest in lottery
tickets. A case which. came to the
observation Of an Examiner reporter,
however, disproves this insinuation.
1t is n rather odd story, the one which
comes from the semi-wilds OF republic
can Guatemala.
A Baron of France, who emigrated to
this portion Of Central America shortly
after the Franco-German war had ter
minated so fatally for his country, in
stead of posing as gentleman too proud
TO soil his hands with labor, made the
best of his circumstances.
He was in strange land without
funds or friends; tho latter, however, he
soon secured, for he was Industrious.
and after working for several years as
an overseer upon the plantation Of
native planter, he married the planters
daughter and in due time became
planter himself.
His father had, in the day Of Louis
Philippe, been director in the Royal
French Lottery, so that when the Louis
lana State Lottery Company established
an agency in his adopted country, he
patronized il. His investments, how
ever, did not prove very remunerative
until the June drawing, when Baron
Blank, as usual, made his visit to town,
and paying two American dollars, re-
ceived in exchange one of those white
green-blue slips of paper, which has
number printed in black across the face
of IL. The document was taken home,
and lie Baron thought nothing more OF
the circumstance until one day, when
he was surprised at receiving COM
munication from the agents from whom
the ticket had been bought, notifying
him to see them ut once. The commun-
ication rather upset him. Had Dame
Fortune ut last smiled on him? Had he
finally been rewarded for innumerable
disappointments? These and many other
questions suggested themselves to him,
as he FASTENED to keep the appointment.
The truth was soon learned. Baron
Blank had bought ticket 90,443 which
had won one-tenth Of the capital prize
of $500, 000
The ticket was sent TO Kuhlman e.
Co., the leather merchants of this city,
who represent the Central American
firm where it had been bought. The
money was collected through the Anglo
Nevada Bank OF San Francisco, and by
this time tho lucky Frenchman Is now
in full possession of his $4,000, which
he secured by an investment of two dol
lars.-San Francisco Cali Examiner.

DUNs TRADE REVIEW.
The Great wheat Speculation the Alb

II. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF the

Americans.

1t was the significant criticism of
the late Matthew Arnold that Ameri-
cans were not interesting. They lacked
the restfulness, the refined touch, the
graceful life OF those who have gained
their ends and can afford To be serene.
The higher education of woman Is to
hasten the day when at least the
wives Of Americans must be interest
ing as women, and when their calm
ness and "sweet reasonableness" must
be felt not only in the atmosphere Of
home but in the free relations of So
ciety. 1t is here that educated women
are to introduce an intelligent refine
ment which will greatly influence the
next generation OF Americans. We
have wealth today without culture; In
the next decade there Will be not less
wealth, but the women first and the
men next will have the culture with
out which wealth makes one simply
glittering barbarian. 1t is the general
diffusion of this intellectual and social
training which is of most value. Wo-
men have supremacy in the home and
men in the saloon, and n woman who
can gather in the people who are best
worth knowing and can be a leader
among them has in her hands largely
the shaping of the society of the COM
munity in which she lives. The future
queens Of society are TO be educated
women, and the finest women who 90
out of our different institutions of
learning are In many cases TO be these
queens. There has been lack OF this
sort OF women, and persons Of lower
type, persons remarkable more for
grace of person than for grace OF
spirit, have occupied their places. But
no one can meet the girl graduates OF
today and trace their incipient careers
without seeing that they are destined
to have great influence In guiding
and developing American life. This
is 10 be an influence on the side of
conservatism, the side Of self-restraint,
the side Of peaceful and reasonable
life, the side which the temper of the
times has caused men least to Guilt
vate. The practical side of female
education has been greatly dwelt upon
rs If price could be- put upon II, but
its unpriced enrichment of life in the
diffusion OF better spirit and the
manifestation OF higher ideal Is
more important than its greatest uses
in the sphere OF practical returns

A Beautiful Mouth.

A woman, says the ~. Y. Graphic,
with every other charm Is not beauti-
ful without mouth that adds a new
suggestiyeness TO her loneliness. She
ceases to be even pretty IL, when she
speaks her breath is hot and feverish,
or, worse still, is absolutely tainted.
Naturally, she does not know this,
and IL is only proper that somebody
belonging 10 her should tell her. IL
IL comes from her teeth ii is something
quickly remedied. III IL comes from
her digestion then it is her doctors
business to get her in good order; but
often In this country of invalid women
1t comes from the use of strong med
icines. Physicians advise for this the
use OF lemons, claiming that they are
the most purifying of all fruits, and
the aromatic odor produced by lemons
rubbed on the teeth, gums, and lips
lasts longer than any other. For
feverish breath that results from the
stomach few drops of lime water
used as a gargle, or, better still, half
teaspoonful of blcarbonate OF soda In
little water, will have the desired ef-
feet.
Half the badly shaped mouths
that are the sorrows OF the young
women OF TO day result from their be.
ing permitted when they were children
TO suck their fingers; one of the pref
TEST women in town has coarse, thick
lips that came from having been al.
lowed when she was going TO sleep TO
put her thumb in her mouth: while
another whose lips protrude In the
centre and whose mouth Is large
Dlames her mother for allowing her TO
find consolation in her two forefngers.
If persuasion will not break child of
this habit, then stronger means should
be resorted TO, and If necessary its
hands should be tied together. Anoth-
er unfortunate habit among school
girls, and one which results IN thick
ening the lips and making them super.
sensitive, is the continual biting OF the
lower lip. The entire shape Of the
face is spoiled in this way, for when
nature molded IL there was not the in
tention that the lower lip should be
larger and coarse look given TO the
face.
Red lips are the announcement o.
good health. and good health is the
fashion; women who have very deter.
mined wills frequently get into the bad
habit of drawing their lips together in
a way they think expresses determin.
alton; the lips are pliable and natur-
ally assume The position which is
oftenest given 10 them, SO she who
feels on pleasant terms with the world
at large, who makes IL point only to
say pleasant things, will have about

French call riante look that tells

Woman. work :.

The number of employments open
To women Is steadily increasing,
writes Col. Higinson in Hdrper's Ba-
sdar, and it Is impossible TO say that
the future may not see as great chang
es as the immediate past has seen.
The tendency Of modern society is, in
Napoleon Bonaparte's phrase, Ito con-
vert all trades into arts" and just so
fast as this process goes on rude
strength becomes less essential
and fineness OF touch more needed.
Among the higher occupations there
are some gaps which will soon be
filed. The tenth census OF the United
states gives 2,432 women as phys-
clans and surgeons. and only forty
eight as chemists. assayers, and met
allurgists," whereas the latter vocation
would seem 10 follow easily on the
former. 1t gives only seventeen wo-
men as arcgitects, whereas domestic
architecture would seem employment
peculiarly fitted, at least In its indoor
aspects, TO that sex. IL certainly seems
absurd that they should forever 90 on
calling in male advisers TO tell them
how many shelves TO have in a pantry,
or where TO set the washtubs In the
laundry But it Is needless TO give de.
tails OF employment; just as far as the
demand for an intelligent self.support
exists. so far the opportunities will be
equalized between the sexes. and more
places will be found "higher up" for
women. The great thing TO secure is
feeling Of genuine self.respect among
women who earn their own living; TO
convert the class to be found even
among those laboriously industrious
who sincerely hold that no woman
who earns her daily bread can be a
lady. This will be outgrown; and with
greater ability TO earn money will
come better Judgment in the use of IL,
so that IL shall no longer be true, as
the delightful old yeoman says in
Hardy's "Under the Greenwood Tree"
when the bride announces that she
shall have her bonnet on In five min
utes, that "'tis talent OF the female
race that low numbers should stand
for high, more especially In matters of
waiting, matters OF age, and matters
of money

The Amateur Drc.-maker.

The great difficulty and expense of
securing a skillful dressmaker has
forced many ladies to do their own
work. The first essential is the lifting
OF the gown. Many ladies have this
one item done by first-c dress
maker, who will charge half as much
for this one item as an unskillful
dressmaker would charge for making
the whole gown, but 1t is an expendi-
ture wisely made. IL the lady cannot
.lt herself successfully. After the
waist is carefully fitted, care should
be taken that the trimming is not put
on In such way as 10 interfere with
the contour Of the figure. Only few
OF the new bodices show any buttons
this season. A vest and revers cover
the buttons. II Is we'll TO have this
vest and reyers applied after the dress
Is lifted, buttoning the waist straight
down the front as usual, and button
ing the vest over II under one OF the
revers. Collars remain exceedingly
high. They should be bias band.
three inches or more in width before
they are finished and should be held
towards the seamstress while they are
put on, stretching them tribe so that
they will nc snugly around the throat.
The shoulder seams, the side form
seams aud all other seams on the In.
side Of the bodices should be orened,
bound on the edge with bias silk or
binding which comes for this purpose
The edges Of the basque and the collar
OF dresses OF wool should be faced and
lined with silk or farmers satin. An

inches wide should be used around the
