Winning at tne Lottery.

Travellers who have found it hard to win at trente-et-quarante will probably try to recoup themselves by backing their fancy in the Italian lottery. An infalli- ble plan for winning has been communi- cated to me by learned Florentine, but I forget some of the details. After in- cantations, which you can get up for yourself in Petrus de Abano, you have a little dinner for two laid on Christmas eve or the eve of St. John. One of the plates must be blackened with smoke on the bottom. You sit down and utter Ayes and Pater Nosters till the door flies open and in rushes Saint Pas quale somebody q forget his highly re- spectable family name). He is dressed all in red and fetches you two swinging boxes on the ear, for he is angry at being summoned from paradise. As he is do- ing this you hand him the plate with the smoked bottom, on which he writes a terno of figures with his finger. You plank your bottom dollar on the terno and df the government pays up) you are a made man. This is only rough sketch of how to win. 1 have discovered no other way.-English Monthly.

He had been taught to ring the bell; there was cord on it al ways, and when we would say "Ring the bell" at dinner or any other time he pulled the .ord and the maid Mary would at once ap pear.

Slang Terms for Money.


 Probably every country possesses peculiar IT slalig terms for it's circulating coins and lotes. In this country, "greenbacks" ell tlrely superseded "United States notes," and n the days of fractional currency every nody spoke of "shinplasters," although the designation was neither elegant nor expres sive.
 Now we say "nickels" for five cent pieces nut otherwise our coin language is remark ibly free from slang.
 Great Britain, on the other hand, says iiolden Days, is full of financial slang In scotland the man who flies kites is prob ably not worth doodle" which is purely imaginary coin. In England the same per sou would not be worth mag" A kite" IS an accommodation bill and mag" is a farthing. On the race course, where slang 1f all sorts abounds, one hears talk of betting pony" which is e15 or monkey" which is E500 A 'quid" refers to tobacco, when used by sailors; among landsmen it means EL Small gamblers play for bulls and half bulls," which means crowns and half rowns. Little boys talk of "Joeys" when they mean fourpenny pieces The cab driver expects you to tip him with a "tanner"-that is, a sixpence-w while the common appellation )f a shilling is ''bob"
 From these examples it will be seen that we have long way to 50 before we catch up to England-in slang.

The Doll Had Ii. Too.

There was a slight impeachment in a little Boston girls speech, and she had been ''drilled" out of all patience by well mentioned teachers and friends. When she received don for birthday present,
 she was delighted to find that by pulling out green string very passable s'mam- ma" was produced. But the ''papa" which followed the twitching of white string was imperfect, and when the little mother discovered that her child had in- herited her own infrmity, her heroic nature was shown. She lost no time in putting to account her own training, and pulling repeatedly on the white string, with an unfaltering hand, she said firmly: ''Dolly, you must be trained till you learn to say that palmer. ."-Detroit Free

Monthly Market and Sale Days.

The experiments recently made at
Wahpeton, Yankton, and perhaps few
other localities, to introduce monthly
market and sale days have proved very
successful $50 mnch SO that all the larger
towns are trying to secure them. They
are unquestionably a good institution
whenever the farmers feel interested
enough to come out, and they nearly all
seem to turn out to them Globe.
The establishment of such monthly
market days, where farmers can barter
and trade among themselves and with
the business men, in our city, would be
grand scheme and would be conducive
of good results.
