A Chinese Lottery Den.

Entering a Chinese lottery den, one
sees on the walls large representation
of lottery ticket beautifully engrossed,
and also large slips of paper, each slip
containing one of the so lottery charac-
tiers. When the drawing is to take
place, these slips are taken down, rolled
into pellets so as to conceal the writing
and then thrown into pan. They are
there we'll mixed up and again taken
out and placed in four wooden bowls
marked 1, 2, 8, 4, 20 of these charac-
tiers being distributed equally among
the four bowls
One Of these four bowls contains the
winning characters of the drawing.
Which is it to be? Again four pieces
of paper, each printed with number,
/, 2, 3 or 4, corresponding with the
numbers marked on the bowl, are rolled
up, thrown into box and shaken. A
disinterested person, sometimes little
child, is called in to draw out one of
these numbers. For this service he re-
ceives 8 cents for good luck. The paper
bearing the given number is straight
ened out, the number read and the
bowl selected which corresponds with
the number, This, of course, contains
the winning 90 characters, and all the
other go characters in the three other
bowls are destroyed. The bowl chosen
is taken up, and one by one the charac-
ters are unfolded. An assistant is sta
toned near the large lottery ticket hang
ing up, and as each character in the
bowl is read off the corresponding char
acter ON the wall is marked. AS soon
as the 20 lucky characters are called
ont they are pasted on a piece of paper
and hung up where every one can see
the drawing for that day.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

The CAMEL.
He Is Pigheaded, Obstinate, Unsociable
and Unmanageable Brute.

He Is a Pigheaded, Obstinate, Unsociable
and UnmanageabIe Brute.
Camels are not like horses. If a horse
does not want to do anything, we make
him. If a camel does not want to do
anything, he leaves it undone. No
amount of coaxing, no amount of cruel
ty, will make him bulge. He has the
determination of a mule combined with
the strength of an elephant. A camel
is one of those aggravating brutes which
will drive hot tempered man to distrac-
ton. Nothing will persuade him TO lis
ten to reason. He will oppose your will
with a passive resistance that is abso-
lutely unconquerable.
The only way to treat camel is to
humor if you cannot humbug him.
They will often lie down if you load
them with the proverbial last straw,
and you might beat them to death or
offer up all the pleasures of paradise be-
fore they would get up. They are pig
headed beasts. Sometimes when they
have quite a light load they turn nasty
and throw themselves to the ground.
But although they are obstinate they
are not cute, and an Arab, by pretend
ing to submit, can generally get the
better of the stubborn beasts. The driv-
ers will ostentatiously remove three or
four packages from the load, and the
animal, with an inward chuckle of
satisfaction, rises at once without per-
ceiving that the parcels have meanwhile
been returned to their former place. AS
he fatters himself he has shirked some
of his duty he swings away with light
heart, gratifed beyond measure, like a
spoiled child, at having his own way.
The camel is an unsociable beast He
is also habitually dull, except when he is
shifting the salt air of the desert. When
he is treading the sands, with the burn
ing sun on his back and the boundless
waste before him, he feels himself at
home. The immense heat makes him
bubble over with pleasure and fills his
frame with a sublime intoxication. 1t
has been stated on the best authority
that he can go nine days without wa
ter. And if you had ever seen camel
drink when he does get a chance Of
quenching his thirst you would not be
surprised at this. They have been
known to put away ~ gallons at a
time. Ashton. Reporter.

Wolfe Tone.

A desultory and enormous reader OF
plays and novels, with an impish hui
NOR and facility and felicity of quota
ton which never deserted him under
the most terrific circumstances, Tones
style is throughout literary and in that
sense artificial, but he had passion for
facts and healthy determination to see
things as they really were. He is per
fectly free from every kind of illusion,
deIusion and humbug.
He is very much alive to the humor-
GUS side of all things, including him
self. The diaries are full of entries like
this:
II cannot help this morning thinking
of Gil Bias when he was secretary to
the Duke of Lerma. Yesterday l dined
with Carnot. Today l should be puz-
zled to raise guinea.
Wolfe Tone at the bottom of his heart
was grave enough. His death is war
rant for this. But he belonged by the
order of his mind to the Knockers.
Tones widow, though she had doubt
less good deal to put up with, mourn
ed her husbands loss for II years, when
she married one who shared her venera-
ton for Tones memory. His son grew
up to be proud of his fathers sutferings
in what he was taught to believe was
good cause. ireland has never forgotten
Tone and probably never will.-Con-
temporary Review.

The optieal Goods immunity.

The traditional bull in china shop
and the mailman who breaks windows to
hear crash are mild hammered in COM
parison with the iconoclastic and I'M
scientific schedule of the Wilson bill
that threatens ruin to the large and flour
ishing optical goods industry in this
country. The bill proposes a reduction
from so and 45 per cent to SO per cent
and gives these highly finished products
no more protection than is allowed to
such coarser products as car wheels. 1t
places the same duty on the sheet steel,
from which the goods are made, as upon
the same material after its value has
been increased several hundred per cent
by labor, and it has become the finished
product of a business involving enor-
NOUS detail. We learn that some 800
employees of the American Optical COM
pany at Southbridge, Mass, have led in
protest against it, and that their action
has been followed all over the country.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN EXPORTS
Protection Increases Foreign Trade, blu
Free Trade Does Not.

Protection Increases Foreign Trade, but
Free Trade Does Not.
One of the greatest and most hack
neyed arguments of the free trader is
that the American system of protection
prohibits the export of American made
goods, the higher wages prevailing in
this country preventing us from COM
peting with foreign countries for the
trade in the markets of the world; hence
it is the disposition of the free traders to
take our home market from us, which is
the best in the world, and by thus re-
ducing the wages of American labor to
the foreign level to enable us to compete
with foreign countries in foreign mar
kets.
This is a glib and smooth sounding
species of argument that has unfortu-
nately deceived too many of our people
in the past. Before the policy of pros
tration to American labor and industries
has been finally completed by the free
trade congress it is as we'll to expose the
complete and utter fallacy and falsity of
this free trade exploitation. It is not
fact that protection prohibits the export
of American manufactured goods into
foreign markets. It is not fact that
our foreign export trade has decreased
under protection. 1t is not fact that
free trade is essential to the acquisition
of foreign trade. 1t is not a fact that
free trade promotes and extends an ex-
port commerce with foreign countries.
These plain and decided statements of
The American Economist can be very
easily substantiated. Let us compare
the export trade of manufactured goods
from the United States and from the
United Kingdom, taking the latest pos
sible period for which the official statis-
tics of both countries are available, as

The Golden Rule In the boxing Ring

The high moral value Of boxing as an
exercise and of the boxing code to which
every boxer must submit is due to the
fact that they compel men to be just, to
accept equality, to respect the rights of
others, to be fair to their opponents on
their feet and magnanimous to them
when they are down.
They take the golden rule down into
the gymnasiums of every first class col
lege and school and say to the youth of
today, who is to be the citizen of to-
morrow, Put ON the gloves. young
man, and learn that you positively shall
not, in the boxing ring at least, do any
thing unto others which they shall not
do unto you"
Quite apart, therefore, from its phys
ical benefits, which are greater than
those of any other form of athletics,
quite apart, too, from its utility in mo-
ments of personal peril which Is too
obvious to need pointing out, rejoice
at the undoubted growth Of boxing IN
the general favor as distinct and val
liable moral advance. IL is already
taught in nearly all our leading colleges
and private schools. | hope to live to
see it taught in all our public high
schools, and this more as a means OF
moral discipline than Of physical inn
provement. Donahoe's Magazine.

On the surface of a river or water ex-
posed to the air ice is made by the cold
ness of the air against the top of the wa
ter. When water is cooled thus, it at
first shrinks in size, and therefore sinks
below the less cold water next to it.
This, in turn, gets cooler, shrinks and
sinks, and so ON, till all the water from
top to bottom is lowered to degrees G.
above zero. AS soon as the water gets
colder than this it begins to swell, and
therefore no longer sinks as before but
stays on the top, and if the cooling still
goes ON till zero @. is reached it begins
to turn into ice. When, by the colder
air atop of it, as much heat is taken
away from this water at zero as would
have raised pound of water at zero to
pound of water at 70 degrees O., a
pound of ice is formed; when twice as
much, two pounds, and so on, till, if the
air above the water keeps cold enough,
