MATRIMONIAL Lottery
The Curious Cwstom Which Prevails
in a Russian E'rOvInce-The
Principal Prize.

In one of Gilbert and Sullivan's operas
a much-soughi yCLng man proposes.
when pursued by "20 lHvesck maidens,"
that he be put up at Il railie. Cynics
have often reE,n:kod that marriage is
lottery, ana that grim Scotch libret-
tiat may have oOiGiEeG iGs piraliCn from
this statement. As matter of fact,
IT, wever. It is n real lottery in the prov
lace 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 lottery ticket.
Ine tickets cost one ruble each. There
is only one prize to be drawn. and it con-
fists OF the entire sum yielded by the
SAFE OF the tickets, amounting to 5000
rubles. together with q lady described
MS OF noble blood. The tickets are sold
only TO males. and the lucky winner of
the prize will have TO marry the dam
sal If he takes the 5000 rubles. If, how
ever. 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 10 marry but
is not found to he TO tie 1"--eeI's taste,
then they are TO be excused from mat
rinony and permitted to divide the
r"bles. II is not hard to imagine n con-
clifton ct affairs where the lady in the
case refuses her chosen Io-d and pre-
fers to take the cash. ,lorit.irg that

WHAT NIcoTIaE REALLY is.
A CoiorIess TIaid Thnt Becomes Dark
when Exposed 10 AIR

In a communication about tobacco,
In the Scientific American. Prof. John
w. Mallet, Of the University Of Nir-
glnia, says among other things:
IGNORANCE Of easily Gsccrtainable
scientific facts is, however. common
enough, as often illustrated by the
brown, oily material formed in the
nicotine, though in reality this is mere
ly the tar produced by the action Of
heat ON the woody fibre OF the leaf
Nicotine when pure Is a cclorlesa
fluid Of somewhat oily consisteuce and
strong, peculiar. penetrating odor, but
IL darkens on exposure to air and light,
becoming first yellow and then brown,
40 that IL looks, IN this darkened con
sition. something like the tarry mat
ter which soils smokers fingers or
handkerchief through which tobacco
smoke Is exhaled, or Is often notice;
as deposited in the stem OF pipe.
This tarry deposit has nothing essen
tial In common with nicotine, and con
tains but traces OF this aIlalcid, when
any ut all. A part, but only small
part (about one-scyenth Of the expert.
mcnts Of Mclsens), of the real nicotine
OF tobacco is volatilized without de-
composition; the remainder is burned
md destroyed in the process Of smok
ing.
THE sensational statements occa-
sionally made In regard TO arsenic, cop
per, etc, ms present in the paper wrap
pers, would be at once seen TO be gross
~ improbable IL IL were but remem-
bercd that the wrapper is n single
cigarette weighs little more than hall

quantity Of thin delicate white paper
there could be introduced but in
fnitesimal amounts of such foreign

RENT FLOWERS FOR HOUSES.
Eothouse Projectors suffer Loss In
business Through the Advent
of Summer Months.

This IL the season OF the year when
keepers of dollhouse flowers, who
thrive in winter. are practically with.
out employment. There are more
than 20 concerns in Chicago that make
a business of renting ported plants
palms and other interior decorations
to restaurants, cafes, saloons, and to
families. These plants are changed
as often as wanted. One day there
may be one of the waving pampas
plumes, and in the same place the day
following may appear blooming ger
anium. The uninitiated would mag
inc that the owner of the room was
also proprietor CT n dollhouse, when he
isn't anything of the sort. These
plants may be rented for one dollar
per month apiece. says the Chicago
Times-lIerald.
In summer they are taken out and
fresh flowers, born OF rain and sun
shine, placed in their stead. Chica-
gonas do not like the looks of dollhouse
flowers when the weather is warm and
natural blossoms are cheap. Bushes
OF fresh honeysucklcs grown wild in
the mountains of Kentucky ard Ten
nessee may nosv be seen in many
places. Violets are coming in in abun-
dance. There raay occasionally be
found magnolia blossoms, for they ere
plentiful on the bayous of the south
this season. Then there are the nntivc
roses and dairodils and dardelions that
give fragrance and take the room OF
the potted plants, which do very well
IN winter. but look out of place when
the air is soft and balmy and the trees
are clothed In green.

en- noda, que s,vaay. las iras del
gobierno. Hubo epocas en- la VI
da politica de este pueblo, en- que,
despues de una. derrota electoral,
nos pasamos muchos aaos en- Ell
retraimiento mas antipolitico que
puede concebirse, abandonando al
adversario todos nuestros derechos.
Espana nos conocfa; habia estu-
diado nuestra idiosincracia; y por
ESQ resistia q todas nues;tras recla-
maciones; por ESQ TN mlnlstro de la
Corona sc atrevi6 i decir eli pleno
Parlamento, que aqui todo pot'aa
hacegse tnapat,aeme,ate. Y esa frase
no nos indigno: !, y como habla de

volviendo al Colegio; sabemos
que la idea ha sido muy blen AGO.
gida en- esta cludad, como 10 sera
sin duda en- la .isla, tan necesita-
da de planteles de ensenanza como
el que nos ocupa. Pero es nece-
sario que la iniciativa particular
pong.a algo de su parte; que no
quede todo reducido d tres 6 cra-
tro articulos de periodico.
Pronto los Ayuntamientos ten
dran facultades amplisimas para le-
gislar en- materia de instruction y
formar sus presupuestos. Y al Ayun-
tamiento de Ponce toca acoger la
idea con carino, subvencionando
ese Colegio, que para llenar las
necesidades de que adolece aqui la
instruction, tendra que hacer gran
des gastos, para nontarlo con todos
los aparatos necesarios de que es-
tan dotados los Colegios de esta
clase en- otros palses.
Y ell beneficio no sera exclusive
para Ponce, sino para la iuventuo
de la isla que podra venir d educarss
a ese Coleglo.
Esperamos, pues, que la idea nt
caera en- el vacio y Sc convertirt
pronto en- realldad.
