wheel has SO thoroughly superseded
the pedaling of the sewing machine in
SO many quarters, it is interesting to
learn that the average sewing machine
exports from the United States during
the past ten years have been over ST.
5000 in value. But there has been
an awful slump in domestic sales since
the bicycle came to the front.

The Dingley bill sounds the death
knell of the lottery industry in this
country, for section 10 of that measure
prohibits the importation of lottery
tickets into the United States, and
provides fine and Imprisonment for
violation of the law. This is the first
time in the history of the country that
a tariff bill has prohibited the impor-
tation, of lottery tickets. Mr.. Dingley
has gone to the root of the trouble, the
Washington Post says, and when his
bill becomes a law the United States,
which has already eradicated the evil
within its borders, will be free from
any foreign lottery pest
