charged with the murder of his mother

C~hinatOwn's Lottery.

Cinnamon are natural gamblers, and
in every city in this country where
they congregate they have a lottery.
The manner of conducting the lot
terry is characteristic. Square yellow
papers are circulated about Chinatown.
They contain so characters within a
green border. There is no name or loca-
tion on the sheet, but every n knows
it's Office and uses. Translated literally,
these characters represent some natural
phenomena, such as "Heaven and
EARTH" ''Fishes SWIM, ''Birds fly
1.-The world is vast, ''Clouds RISE and
other commouplaces Of daily life. and so
general are they that the most ordinary
dream may find here a character for in
depreciation.
Twenty characters are chosen and
crossed and the wager laid. When the
drawing comes, the man who guesses
three of these numbers gets his money
back: FIVE, he wins double his stake.
and ten, 900 times the amount paid in.
The stakes run from 10 cents to IS.

When Poe Was Hungry.

Gabriel Harrison. who was a popular
young actor in the forties and also an
artist and politician and friend of cele-
brated men, told this story Of Edgar
Allan Poe:
II asked Poe several times when he
was at the studio to sit for his portrait,
but he always refused on the ground
that his clothes were too shabby. But
one Afternoon l caught him in an un-
usually complacent mood and obtained
the original Of the engraving you see
there on the wall. This was but three
years before Poe's death. and he was
not at all prosperous.
II recollect that once we were walk
ing up town together late in the day.
when Poe began to sway from side to
side and then stopped. He said he felt
faint. We went into a cafe, where we
had a glass of wine and a biscuit. Poe
then told me that his sudden dizziness
was the result of not having eaten any
thing since early morning"

Have No Use For Cents,

Pennies are not used by the banks of
New Orleans in the payment of checks.
If a check. for example, is drawn for
$62. 18. the holder receives 500. 20. If
the amount is $62. II, he gets $62. Is.
The split is made between the second
and third cent. and the system. which
has been in vogue for many years, is
very rarely the subject of any COM
plant. It makes an exact balance of
coppers at the end of the days business
rather unlikely. but the doctrine of av-
erages operates to even things up to
within a few cents. In the long run
about as many checks break on one-half
of the nickel as on the other. New

What IL a ,Day2

Nine persons out of 10-yes. 900 out
of every l. 000-if asked how long it
takes the earth to turn once on it's axis
would answer "a hours. and to the
question, How usa1y times doss it turn
on it's axis in the curse of the year?
the answer VIOLA he 3G51 times. Both
answers are WFn..
It requires bat ID hours and SO min
utes for the earth to make one complete
turn. and it makes 1904 turns during
the year. The error springs from a
wrong idea Of what is meant by a day.
The day is not, as is commonly sup
posed. the time required by the earth
to make one turn on its axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages Of the sun across the meridian
that is to say. the time which elapses
after the sun is seen exactly south in
its diurnal course through the heavens
before it is again seen in that position.
Now. in consequence of the earth's
revolution in it's orbit, or path round
the sun. the sun has the appearance of
moving very slowly in the heavens in a
direction from east to west. At noon
tomorrow the sun will be a short dis
lance to the east of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon to-
day. so that when the earth has made
one complete turn it will still have to
turn four minutes longer before the sur
can again be seen exactly south.

To detect hidden cracks opening from
