Most of the pro-lottery papers of the
State, whose stand on the subject was
not at the time supposed to be wholly in
the interests Of the dear people, since the
defeat Of their project, are far worse in
their "clap trap" about the morality and
sentiment Of the thing than were
the non.lottery papers before election.
The proposition was heavily sat upon,
and as the almighty dollar can't rule
everything let the matter rest with the
other defeated proposed changes,

The Enterprise makes the following
suggestion:
1t would not be bad notion to try
what can be done at Nevadas agricul.
tural experiment station with our native
tobacco. Two varieties grow here in
Virginia-the broad and the narrow leaf.
The broad leaf promises best. 1t puts
out its leaves from single stalk, and the
leaves are not only larger and more
shapely than the other but also ripen
earlier. The narrow leaf variety sends
up several stalks from one root, and is
much addicted to suckers" or of.
shoots. Both kinds grow here in the
city without cultivation or irrigation.
The tobacco grows in large patches on
ground that has been burned. In China
town last year were to be found stalks
that were three and four feet high.
This, too. without drop of water. On
patch of ground that was always wet
no stalk two feet in height could be
found. 1t is not infested by worms. In
examining thousands of stalks last Sum.
mer and Fall we did not find single
worm. We collected and have on hand
seed Of both varities. Undoubtedly the
tobacco would produce larger leaves if
cultivated and topped-not allowed to
send up long flower stalk.

He Got Even with Her.

As a Cottage Grove avenue cable
train swung around on to Madison
street from State the other afternoon
a young man jumped upon the front
platform Of the trailing Indiana ave-
nue. car, opened the door and went in
side. AS he closed the door behind
him the car swung on to the straight
track and he was thrown over into the
lap of a sour visaged old lady sitting
in the corner. AS he FASTENED to ask
her pardon, she glared at him saw
agely and cut him short with: II
think, sir that you are intoxicated! 7"
The passengers grinned and the inno-
cent young man blushed furiousiy.
He could say nothing, SO he made his
way to seat near the center of the
car and unfolded his paper. At the
corner of Indiana avenue and Eigh-
teenth street the sour visaged old lady
signaled the conductor to stop. She
arose to leave the car just as the cor
ner was reached and on her way out
she was pitched into the lap of the
young man she had insulted 1t was
a glorious victory for him. He did
not get truly even by telling her that
she was intoxicated, but he assisted
her to her feet, bowed her out and
then grinned all by himself, until he
reached home. Chicago Herald.

The Cost of Grand Opera.

The difference between the outlay
and the returns at the Metropolitan
Opera house, New York, averages
81, 900 nightly. In other words, there
is dead loss of between $50, 900 and
$70,0 on a four months season. This
is not excessive, if compared with the
figures shown by some other great
opera houses The profits in Paris, for
example, are purely nominal, and
against them must be set the annual
subsidy of 100000 granted by the
state. A New York opera season in
German costs 5000, 900. This includes
S105, 600 for artists salaries and $40,
900 for the magnificent orchestra. The
rest is spent on scenery, costumes,
chorus, supes and baliet.-The Stage.

Shoppers Headache.

Many ladies after an afternoon spent
in shopping return home with a dull
headache, which does not completely
leave them until after a nights sleep.
This is called shoppers headache, and
is becoming more prevalent. There
are number of causes which produce
this condition. Bad ventilation of
stores, which are crowded with people
and goods producing foul condition
of the air, is prolific cause. Foul
air fingers about and clings to dry
goods especially, and the practice Of
heaping remnants and other goods
upon long tables accessible to the
crowds and constantly handled
by them, is not conducive to
health. The strain of looking
for hours at different colors, often
bright, and the effort to decide which
among the many articles should be
selected, produce congestion of the
brain tissue, which causes shoppers
headache. Long continued observa-
ton necesstates an effort of the mind
which, although perhaps not appreci
able at the time, is cause of the dis
ease. Fatigue has a great deal to do
with it, fatigue of muscle as well as
brain. Hours of languid locomotion
and upright position, varied and fire.
quent movements of the head, restless
ness of the eyes all produce it. The
muscular strain involved in half a
days shopping is considerable, es-
pecially where ladies are not in the
habit of using their muscles very much
at other times. Fatigue of mind and
body is the cause of the shoppers head

Undressing Was Not Rafbipo.

In 1868 President Lincoln sent q
force under Gen. Henry H. Sibley to
punish the Indians for their barbara
ties in Minnesota and Dakota. and
drive them back to the Rocky mount
ain plains. Among the many Incl
dents of the Sibley expedition against
the Sioux which are still afloat in Da-
kota, is the following: On the return
the camps were usually made on the
banks of lake or river, and frequently
when the men learned where the camp
would be some of them would rush
forward and have a bath; this rolled
up the water and made it unfit for
camp purposes. This action so in
censed Gen. Sibley that he issued an
order prohibiting bathing until the
officer of the day should announce
that the water had been secured for
camp purposes and the stock had been
watered.
One night the camp had been made
on the banks of a small lake. Capt.
Horace Austin was the officer of the
day, and he sent detail to the lake in
charge of Sergt. S. P. Childs, now of
Mankato, to see that the generals
order was obeyed. Childs saw a man
come down to the lake shore, look at
the water, step back behind a bush and
commence undressing. Soon he was
disrobed and walked to the edge of the
water and dipped his foot in it as if to
see how cold it was, when Childs
yelled "Haltl' What is the matter9"
asked the would be bather. The SER
geant replied the generals orders were
that no bathing should be allowed un-
til the officer of the day had an
nounced sufficient water had been Sc

finally said that if Childs knew the Or

fore he undressed. Yes" said Childs,

hibit disrobing." The man who wanted
to battle was Gen. Sibley himself, and
