Matrimonial Lottery.

In one of Gilbert and Suilivan's operas
a much-sought young man proposes.
when pursued by twenty love-sick maid
ems that he be put up at rattle Cynics
have often remarked that marriage is
lottery, and the grim Scotch ibrettist
may have obtained inspiration from this
statement. As a matter of fact. how
eyer. it is a real lottery in the province
of Smolensk. Russia. A recently-returned
traveller has this to say of the curious
custom. which is observed every three
months:
Husbands and wives are chosen by the
chance drawing of a lottery ticket The
tickets cost one ruble. each. There is only
one prize to be drawn. and it consists of
the entire sum yielded by the sale of the
tickets. amounting to 5000 rubles. to-
gefher with a lady described of noble
blood. The tickets are sold only to males.
and the lucky winner of the prize will
have to marry the damsel if he takes the
500 rtlbles. IT, however he be already
married he is at liberty to turn over the
money and the lady to any friend whom
he may wish to put in for such good
thing If the winner should be willing
to marry but Is not found to be of the
damsel's taste. then they are to be ex-
cused from matrimony and permitted to
divide the rrbles. 1t is not hard to imag-
inc a condition of affairs where the lady
in the case refr ~ her chosen lord and
prefers to take the cash. deciding that
3 500 rubles is more to be desired than a
more or less doubtful happiness with a
husband of whom she knows nothing"

AGcrmnn-American Girl.

Women have been steadily gaining the
respect of science by their work in
astronomy. Several years ago the Par
is Observatory unbarred its frowning
portals TO California girl. Miss Doro-
thea Klumpke. This young woman comes
of talented family. her sisters being ar
lists and physicians. She received her
education abroad and early showed a
leaning toward mathematics and astron-
omy. II was by dint of much quiet per-
sistence that she won access to the cele-
brated French observatory. access to
which has hitherto been refused TO her
sex. The faculty, having proved her
worth. granted her a staff position as
signing her special work in one of the
bureaus. Her work is mostly of the rou-
tine order. involving the measurement of
stars and the making of calculations. Be-
sides measuring stars. Miss Klumpke de-
signs gowns. darns stockings and takes a
very human and womanly interet in her

stance heard from the most popular in

There is only one true solution of the
servant-girl problem. and it must be
shared, part and part each, by the serv-
ant and the mistress. Before We can
have intelligent service in our homes.
we must have domestic training schools
just as we have mental training schools.
Here and there in our country these
schools are sprining up. and they will
multiply fast when their necessity and
results are better understood and seen
Well-equipped training schools will pro-
duce well-equipped service. and domestic
service will. through their influence. be-
come an art and profession.
But while the servant is undergoing hei
domestic training, it is equally necessar,
that her mistress should become better
acquainted with the domestic arts So
that she may intelligently direct where
the other intelligently works. These
two must go together; the one without
the other is not enough II the girl OF
today expects. when she is wife. that

be competent to direct. She must herself
understand the work she asks her maid

noon to buy a photograph frame. 1t was
a trifie late and the girl at the counter

of the shoppers was exceedingly pleasant
to the girl and said she regretted their

into the shop and asked for the girl who
had sold frame to two ladies late the

One of the most effective war measures
adopted by the Government is the plan
to send about 30. 900 Springfield rifles, with
ammunition and other supplies. to the
Cuban army in the eastern part Of the
island, If 1t is true, as has been stated,
that the Cubans have $4,000 men already
under arms. and can raise $1,000 more as
soon as equipnents are available for
them, there SHOULD be no need of large
army of United States soldiers in Cuba.
With 6O.0Oo Cubans marching on Havana
and the guns Of the United States Navy
laundering outside the harbor, the Span
ish commanders would be exceedingly
foolhardy to undertake to hold the city.
The diplomacy of the future. arising from
this country's relations with Cuba, will
probably be more satisfactory, In all re-
spects. IL free government in Cuba can
be established with comparatively little
aid from the United States than IL 1t
should be necessary to use a vast United
States army to drive the Spaniards out.

RUSSIAN LACE MAKERS.
Peasant Women who Do the Work
Raise All Their Own Materials.

| Peasant Women who Do the Work
| Raise All Their Own Materials.
| The Russian peasant women make their
lace in the winter. In the summer there
Is not so much time for It. for they have
their agricultural duties. The peasants
never buy anything for their work. II
| they have their seeds they raise the fax
and spin the thread and make the lace.
or they raise the sheep and spin the fine
wool and make the beautiful Orenburg
shawls. Sometimes a woman will make
her lace from the beginning. planting the
seeds and doing all the work. even to
selling the lace she has made. but not
always Some Of the women raise the
1ax and do the spinning and exchange
with the lace-makers, but they always
do 1t among themselves. 1t is all pleasant
work. They do everything for ssthem-
selves. and the men even make the spin
ming wheels and looms for weaving.
The women get up very early, perhaps
4 or o'clock In the morning. and they
work until II or IL o'clock at night But
they are a gay people. and In the evening
great many peasants gather In one
house. and they will bring their work
and sing as they work, or sometimes
they will stop for a little while and
dance. and then go to work again.
They do not know any other life. and
they are very happy. They do all their
work for themselves, and have no bosses.
Some of the designs of lace are very
old. and many Of them they make up
from the things they see around them.
designs from the frost on the window.
Every thread in a piece Of lace has to
have a pair of bobbins. The children be-
gin with narrow lace with about ten
pairs of bobbins. and the women use
more or less. according to the width of
the lace. The lace makers usually live in
one place. and the women who do other
kinds of work are together in other
towns. There Is one town not far from
Moscow which Is filed with lace Makers
and as soon as you get near the town
you can hear the sound of the bobbins
The shawi-makers live In the province
of Orenburg. which gives the shawls
their name. They are made of finest
down of the sheep, selected from the
wool. anod the fine yarn Is spun and the
shawls are knit with two ordinary knit
ting needles. 1t will take woman four
months to make one four yards square.
They are SO soft and fine that three of
them can be drawn through finger ring
at once. 1t will take a woman all winter
to make a piece of lace ten or twelve
yards long and half a yard wide and she
does not get more than "a or s. for it,
They are very strong laces. and they will
wear for hundreds of years.
