Mrs. J. d. Collins, wife of an engineer on
the East Tennessee road, and friend of
hers, Mrs. J. ". Little, are in luck.
They have drawn prize in the Louisiana
State Lottery amounting to twenty-five hun
dred dollars.
Mrs. Collins was seen at her home, 81

er's question as to the truth of what he had
heard, 81 have drawn prize in the lottery
my husband has been buying lottery
tickets ever since we were married, ten years
ago. He would buy q ticket every month or
SO, but never drew anything. About four
months ago his luck changed and he drew
fifteen dollars. He and some of his friends
went into partnership and bought ticket,
which drew $500, but they received only one
twentieth of it.
''Just before the last drawing my husband
suggested to me that / buy a ticket and try
my luck. took Mrs. j. ". Little, a friend,
in as a partner, and we bought ticket No.

After the drawing came OF we received a
circular with the number we had encircled
with pencil mark, and on looking at it we
found that our ticket had drawn One-twent-
eth of the capital prize of $4,000 which was
$1,000. We went to LOwry's bank and drew
on the lottery for the money.

the same. We had to pay the bank So for
collecting the money. We have not de-
cided what we Will do with our money, but

ACcoEDNG to the report which Prof.
HOrnaday is preparing for the Smith
sOnian Institution the American buf-
falO, which formerly roamed over our
Western plains, may be said to be ex-
tinct. According to his Investigations
there are now less than $50 buffalo In
all the American continent, where, less
than a quarter of a century ago, they
ranged the plains in countless thou
sands, showing a rate of extirmination
that seems almost incredible. The
buffalo has disappeared faster than Lo,
the poor Indian; doubtless because his
carcass is reckoned of more value com
mercially.

THE experiments at refOresting Italy
are in the highest degree interesting
to Americans When it seemed de-
sirable to cultivate a forest, it was
done at the joint expense of the Gov
eminent, the province and the COM
munity Immediately interested. Twen-
ty-two thousand acres have been re-
forested, while plans are prepared for
covering an area of 261, GOO acres.
The estimate is that in all over 800, 600
acres must and viii be planted for
public safety at q round cost Of
SO, 600, GOO. This enterprise and ex-
pense has been made necessary by the
reckless destruction of original forests
on the mountain slopes. 1t is full Of
warning to our people, that so far is
not needed, and probably viii not be
needed, until agriculture is perma-
nently damaged beyond recovery In
half century or more. This is now
question Of prime Importance to the
American people.

The rules of the Austrian War De
partment are very strict in regard to
the marriage of officers of the army.
Only one-half of the general staff are
allowed to marry, and in the engineers,
infantry, cavalry, artillery and medical
corps only one out of every four may
be married. Furthermore, the bride
who desires to marry an officer over 60,
must renounce all claims to a widows
pension and fulfil certain other condi-
tions. After all preIiminaries have
been arranged the case goes before the
law section of the War Ministry, and
the marriage cannot take place until
this section returns a favorable report.

A NEW child's periodical is to be
started. It is doubtful if a great
amount of money is ever made in these
enterprises When it is made, it is
made under difficulties. A periodical
for adults keeps for many years its list
of readers, if it is a good one. A peri
odicaI for juvenile readers must of
necessity be constantly changing its
constituency. Every year a set of
readers outgrow it, and another must
be added to take their places-a work
not often accomplished without con-
siderable effort The YoattIts Com
pa11io11, which has so large a circula-
ton, has attained this by taking on
scope beyond what is implied in its
name. The paper has been long a
paper for adults fully as much as for
children.

Nor long ago the Canadian Govern
ment was spending $500, 600 a year in
promoting immigration to its provinces,
but this policy was modified last year,
when less than half that sum was ex-
pended for the purpose. 1t was found
that the New Dominion could not com
pete with the United States in offering
attractions to immigrants, and that
many of those who went there
drifted across the border and struck
toward our domains in the West, where
they find a better climate and enjoy
better times than the Ottawa Govern
ment can give them. Some of the
political leaders in Canada are now
opposed to the whole scheme of ex-
pending public money to stimulate i'm
migration.

Mr.. SwNBURNE says that the moss
Aattering homage ever paid to him
was by an old Border gamekeeper
with whom he was accustomed to go
out when quite boy. This man used
to repeat to him legendary ballads and
stories, and one day the budding poet
summoned up courage enough to re-
peat an early effort-an imitation of
the ballads he had heard. It took the
gamekeeper's fancy directly, and he
declared it as good as any Of the old
Ones-a bit of criticism which Mr.
