Lottery Men Win,

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 11.-A hotly con- tested primary election was held in this city yesterday for the selection of dele gates to the Democratic Convention. The election turned largely on the lot tery issue. The anti-lottery men put 8 full ticket in the field but were over whelmingly defeated by the other fac tion, which carried the city by ma- jority of over Ill., 900 in the largest pri- mary vote ever boiled.

Dust-Sifters of Peking.

Gold, silver, and other metals, ETC.,
are often found in the most unlikely
places. Last year 1 noticed persons
digging in the stream that flows in the
moat close to the Chen Men, in search
of gold. The situation was explained
by tho continguity of the gold-shops,
as the sweepings of such places are
thrown into the moat. There are in
Pcking a band of some three hundred
men who follow, during the four win
ter months, business which consists
in brushing up the dry dust of our
streets. sewing or tanning it, and make
q decent living of 20 cents q day on an
average. By far the largest quantity
of metal found is, of course, iron. in
the form of dust, pellets, nails, ETC.,
which is sold at large Peking cash
per catty.
Next to iron they find copper, silver,
gold, and precious stones. The latter
are almost valueiess, being crushed by
the carts. After scraping together and
winnowing three or four small basket
shovels (po-chi) they will secure about
handful of iron debris. This they
deposit in bag which they carry
around their waists, and on returning
home they uso a loadstone to extract
all the iron, and afterward submit the
remainder to a washing process, when
the silver, the main article sought, is
at once seen. On tho above calcula-
tions there is, therefore, an army OF
these mctal-gathcrcrs making $50 daily,
and this, multiplied by four months,
gives over $1,000. Here is an almost
unknown trade proving sufficiently lu-
crative. The men are scattered over
all the city-on the cart rs we'll as on
t1e foot-passage thoroushfares.-NorA

Genuine Mosquitoes.

One of the pests of life In South
America is the ubiquitous mosquito,
which there attains such an enormous
size and venom that his victims arc
numbered by the scores. Not long
ago herd of valuable cattle taken
from the United States to q ranch upon
the Magdalena river became so des-
perate under the attack of the mosqui-
toes that they broke from their stalls,
jumped into the water, and all were
drowned. Passengers intending to
make the voyage usually provide Them
selves with protection in the shape of
mosquito bars, head nets, and thick
PEELED to tie their sleeves around their
wrists and pantaloons around their
ankles. Even these precautions are
not always effective. Large as the in
sects are they seem to have the power
to creep through the smallest crevice,
and it is necessary to change ones
clothing four or five times day on
their account Day and night they
give the sensitive-skinned travellers no
rest. I have been solemnly assured
that very often when they have at
tackled boat and driven its captain
and crew below they have broken the
windows of the cabin by plunging in
swarms against them and have at
tempted to burst in the doors. Al
though this may be something on the
exaggeration it is nevertheless true
that horses and cattle, after the most
frightful sufferings, have died from
mosquito bites on board the vessels

The Tropical Town Of St. Pierre.

We are ashore in st. Pierre, the
quaintest, queerest. and the prettiest
withal among the West Indian cities;
all stone-buift and stone-fagged, with
very narrow streets, wooden awnings,
iron balconies, and peaked roofs OF red
tile pierced by gabled dormers. Most
of the buildings are painted in clear
pale yellow tone, which contrasts de-
Iightfully with the burning blue ribbon
of tropical sky above; and no street is
absolutely level. Nearly all of them
climb hills, descend into hollows, curve,
twist, describe sudden and amazing
angles. There is everywhere contin-
uous chant of running water, pouring
through the deep cutters contrived be-
tween the paved thoroughfare and the
absurd little sidewalks varying in
width from one to three feet. The
architecture is very old; it is seven
teenth-century probably; and it re-
minds one a great deal of that charac-
terizing the antiquated French quarter
of New Orleans. But one must imag-
inc New Orleans idealized by artistic
conception, made intensely tropical,
and projected audaciously upon the
side of huge volcanic hill. All the
tints, the forms, the vistas, would seem
to have been especially selected or de-
signed for aquarelle studies, just to
please the whim of some extravagant
artist. No ruin was ever more pictur-
esque than these living streets in their
perfect solidity and undilapidated
quaintness. The windows are frame
less openings without glass; some have
iron bars; all have heavy wooden shut
ters with movable Stats, through which
light and air can enter as through We
netian blinds. These are usually
painted green or bright bluish-gray.-

The Chigger.

"When was down on the mosquito
coast in Central America, found the
country there an earthly paradise but
for one thing. There was no snakes
that / saw, no tarantulas, no wasps, NO
poisonous enemy of man but ono. and
that one was the chigger. think I
know more about the chiggcr than any
man in America. One day felt a
slight pain in the second toe of my
right foot. thought it was an in
growing nail. The pain was at the
right corner of the nail and paid lit
tie attention to it. In day or two the
toe had swcllcd to double its size and 1
became alarmed. took all sorts of
medical advice, and finally became con-
vinccd thatI had accumulated chigger
which is an insect about as big as the
point of pin, which works its way
under the skin, usually near toe-nail.
As soon as it finds Judgment it lays a
countless number off eggs, each of
which turns out a chigger which bores
further in and lays more eggs. all in a
gers repeats the family programme
and lays thousands of eggs, so that if
the sufferer is not very careful he can
easily lose toe. foot, or even 4 leg.
The multiplication of the chigger Is
something almost incredible, and when
it once has found secure location the
pain is like nothing except a continual
spasm of toothache. It was three
months before could get the chigger
out of my foot, and four months before
I could wear a. shoe. Talk about
wasps, or spiders, or snakes! I would
readily back the chigger to do more
real execution in a given time than any
enemy which man has yet been able to
find in the whole line of animated
nature. Col. Pat Donan of Dakota.

They Painted the Church.

A church In Jersey City needs paint
ing. Instead of squandering funds on
professional painters the trustees Of
this church are going to economic by
getting some of the church members to
help them. Most of these good people
have never handled q paint-brush.
That will make little difference. They
are going to. lay the paint on with. all
their might. A firm of dealers in paint
will supply at a generous discount the
needed pigments. When the brethren
meet at the church. all armed with
paint brushes of various sizes and pat
terms, there will be such a picnic as is
seldom seen. ....
A church in Kansas tried this home
made method of painting last summer.
The brethren who laid on the paint
were so liberal with 1t that it was not
thoroughly dry for several weeks. The
backs Of the pews were not. cushioned,
50 it seemed good to the amateur paint
ers to adorn the backboards with q
coat of white. This was laid on so
thickly as to be glossy, and was much
admired until the first Sunday. when
the people who sat in the pews leaned
against 1t. Many Of them stuck fast.
The pew-backs were disfgured by the
marks of the Sunday clothes which
were pressed against them. The Sum
day clothes were spoiled by the paint
which they took from the pew-backs.
The congregation, homeward bound,
presented two remarkable spectacles-
one from behind, the other from before.
The rear view gave the idea of white
washed flock of worshippers. From
the front the faces of the victims of
homemade painting had discon-
tented and sorrowful look, as if just
let loose from funeral. The pastor
escaped the baptism of pigment, as no.
body had thought of painting the cush-
ioned back of the pulpit sofa.-Neso

Carvings i'm Redwood.

There has just been finished by ,
wood-carver in this city group repre-
senting the baptism of the Savior,
which is intended for the baptistry of
st. yincent's church at Vallejo. The
carving is of California redwood, and
is executed at a cost of $1,000. st.
John is represented as standing on
land. Jesus is in the water with his
feet covered by it and his head bowed
down. st. John pours the water on
his head from shell held in his right
hand. In his left is cross. The color
of the water, land, and other parts of.
the group requiring tints has been
made to look natural with paints. A
dove representing the Holy Ghost is
overhead. The carver says that he has
found redwood we'll adapted for this
class OF work. 1t is soft and can be
easily carved, and besides it does not
split or become otherwise damaged by
exposure like other cheap woods. He
is the first one that has put redwood to
this use.-Sa,s Francisco Bulletin.
