Chinese High Graves.

there is no greater crime than desc
Grating graveyard. Cinnamon visit
the graves of their ancestors as often
as possible. At one time all the resting
places of the dead in China were fat.
Confucius, the wise man of the empire,
going on a journey once, and desiring
to know his mothers grave when re re-
turned, moved it into a mound. Some
believe that this act of the most re-
vered man in China was the origin of
high graves. Because graves are every
where in the empire, the first railroad
built there has to follow a very cir
cuitous route in order to avoid them.

OVERCOME BY HIS LUCK.
A Poor French Peasant Who Drew
the Capital Prize of $780,
900 Tainted.

Before the closing of the Paris eX-
hlbition the last great lottery con-
nected with this stupendous show was
drawn for, the winner of which, poor
peasant, found himself the richer by
half million francs-that is $100, 900.
The drawing for this great prize
was fixed for half-past two in the
afternoon. At two o'clock the great
hall was denseIy packed with mixed
but anxious crowd. Dukes, duchesses,
counts, countesSes, officers, business
men of all descriptions, workmen in
their holiday attire, workmen in their
working c1othes-al1 went to make up
vivid and sensational picture, says
the London Mail.
One peasant told the writer that he
had Travelled 200 miles in. order to be
in Paris in time to see the draw for
the great fortune, and to make sure
that all was fairly done.
At the tick of half-past two the
committee, composed of men of ire
proachable character-men of the
highest standardized in. The gem
eral secretary of the bank, NJ. RouxeI.
presided.
Before the drawing" he explained
to the people that the first would win
10000 francs, the second and third
10000 francs; the five following 1000
francs, and 100 others 100 francs each.
The supreme moment has arrived
Two boys are each placed before a
wheel, the boy on the right giving the
series, the one on the left giving the
number. There are 325 series of TO-
600 numbers each
The silence is painful. The faces of
the people in the hall are all anxious
and in many cases quite drawn.
The wheels are turned. The boys
each take a number. The prize, the
fortune, is decided.
Number $3.50 of the sixteenth series
has won, and the owner of this comes
into possession of 100000 francs.
Number $3.50, winner of the first
prize!" is called out. A cry from the
center of the hall, weird, unnatural
cry, and the possessor of ticket $3.50
falls back, staggers, and is carried
away senseless. He is a poor peasant,
who for years has never earned more
than 20 francs week. Now? x y
It is interesting to learn that the
winner of the great prize of 1S9S-a
woman-has not yet been paid. This
lady won the 5oO,ooo-franc prize, but
had cut off small portion of her
ticket.
Now the law regulating these lot
teries is that the ticket must be pre-
sented intact. Should it be mutilated
in the slightest the winner is barred
from receiving the prize until 80 years
have elapsed.

LONG LIFETIME OF WORK.
A woman in England Who Has
Worked at Lace-Making for
Njnety-Five Years.

An EnglishwOman who lives near
Bedford. one of the rural centers of
the pillow lace industry, has been 95
years at her trade. She was born in
the year 1900, and has worked at lace
making since she was four years old.
In heryoung days it was paying trade,
the women often earning more at the
pillow than their husbands at the
plow. Mrs. Berrington's parents were
not as poor as some of their neighbors,
but her father, being prudent and
thrifty man, insisted on putting the
child early to work, deeming it best
that she should have something to fall
backuponi any mishap should overtake
him. So at the age of four she was set to
work at the pillow, and for the 95 years
since then she has worked regularly
at her craft, says Youths Companion.
Those who have not seen this variety
of lace can have no idea of the hun
dreds of thousands of turns, crosses
and twists that. must be given the
thread in making a few yards of the
pattern. Even now old Nancy, as she
is Familiarity called, can follow an
intricate pattern with ease, and with
out the aid of spectacles.
Many people call to see an old lady
in her hundredth year at work at the
lace-making, and samples of her lace
have Travelled far. In her younger
days such lace as she makes brought so
cents a yard; now she sells it for IL.
Mrs. Berrington's labors have not
affected her health. When she was 90
years old she walked home from Bed
ford distance of three miles hacanSe
the carrier. on whose cart the country
people depend in going to and fro,
''dawdled about" too long for her.
Even now she is firm of foot, and
thinks nothing of climbing over the
fence that incloses her garden in order
to pick flowers for a visitor. Her eye
sight is good and she has hardly gray
hair in her head.

GREAT STRIKE PROBABLE.
May Involve Half Million Men
When Once Going

asflngton, May 12.-A strike in
yolving directly 100000 machinists and
indirectly 100000 men in the metal
working trades is expected to take place
May 30, unless some arrangement il
effected IN the meantime. This il the
statement made by President James
OConnelI Ot the International AssOcia-
ton OF Machinists, who has his head
quarters in this city. The demands of
the men, the refusal of which threatens
to precipitate the strike, Mr.. O'Connell
SAID, are tor working day of nine
hours and an increase Of 12l per cent in
wages, or, in other words, 10 hours paw
for nine hours work.
The matter, he said, has been under
consideration for some time, and every
effort has been made by the machinists'
association to avoid resorting to a
strike, but such action, he says, is now
necessary if the workingmen hope to at
tam the end they are striving for.
Some time ago through the efforts of
the International association and the
National Trades association, the en-
ployers OF about % per cent of the men
who would be affected by the strike made
concessions by general work day of
nine hours, which was to become opera
tive May 20 of this year. The question
OF an Increase OF wages, however, or the
equivalent. the granting OF 10 hours
pay Tor nine hours, remained unsettled.

though the inhabitants of every country

is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Half a
