"They proceeded from wounded

said he had fred several shots in the

was considered a wonderful sharp
shooter, and the rcb had fired but one
shot at him and that with direful re-
suits. The ball buried itself in his leg,
cutting one of the main arteries. The

ITALIAN STATE LOTTERIES.
Peasants Tempted by Odds OF 10000 Times
the Amount They Stake.

the Amount They Stake.
In Italy there are many highly
moral laws against gambling, but the
government is responsible for system
of state lotteries which encourages
widespread gambling among the peo-
pie. The published statistics show
average receipts of over ten million
dollars a year. Every Saturday after
noon the lottery is drawn in the eight
principal towns of Italy, and there are
government lottery offices in every
town and village, where tickets may
be taken for any of the eight lotteries
in the kingdom. A village may be too
small to have post office, but it will
be pretty sure to have lottery office.
The method of stalking in the lottery
is to select from one to four numbers
and to stake what you please upon
them at the nearest lottery Office. You
may bet on one number, and if it is one
of the five drawn in the lottery you re-
ceive twelve and one-half times your
stake. Or, you may bet that it will be
drawn either first, second, fourth or
fifth in the order of drawing. In
this case you get sixty-six times
your stake if you win. Another
plan is to take two numbers and back
what is called the ambo. If both your
numbers come out among the five you
get 300 times your stake. If you choose
three numbers, which is called a terno,
and they all come out. you win five
thousand times your stake. If you
back four numbers, called quaderno,
you win sixty thousand your stake.
The method most in vogue among the
peasants is to take three numbers and
invest small sum on the terno and on
each of the ambos contained in it. A
PEASANTS average weekly investment
ranges between two cents and ten
cents. AS little as four-fifths of cent
may be Staked.
All kinds of omens are consulted to
arrive at the lucky numbers. Dreams
are great favorites, and inspirations
are drawn from any great national
event. For instance, when Victor EN-
manuel died, the tip was to play the
number of his age, the number of the
year of his birth and the number OF
the day of the month on which he
died. Thousands of people backed this
terno and, oddly enough, it actually
came out. A few weeks later Pope
Plus TX. died. The same game was
played on the numbers relating to his
death, and again the terno came out
OF course the government lost great
deal of money on these occasions, but
it would soon get it back by the ad
ditional impulse given to the gambling
by the news of these winnings Pear

borne out. 1t remains to be seen
whether the claim made in behalf of
the aluminium boat recently tested in

Skirt stffenings are still used by
fashionable modistes, but in ordering
new gowns very many of the best
dressed women in society have forbid
den the use of any sort of stiff inter
lining, considering that it spoiled the
natural grace and sweep of the skirt.
Other fashionable women however,
think that an interlined skirt imparts
n certain cachet, and smart, crisp look
that makes an unlined one look limp
and old-fashioned beside it. Very many
dressmakers, as a sort of compromise,
suggest the silk-covered petticoat of

front and sides and finished with organ
plaits in the back, imparts very grace
