LUCKY NAVAL OFFICER.
American Ensign Draws Ten Thousand
Dollars in Lottery.

Lieut. Commander y. b. Willis. whose
family lives in Germantown, has written
an interesting letter home from his ship.
the Iowa. which is cruising in South
American waters with the South Allan
tic squadron. The officer tells how last
month the squadron was halted in the
harhor OF little Southern city that was
much excited over a lottery drawing soon
10 be pulled off. An ensign on n sister
ship of the Iowa bought for 81 one
tenth chance at the 100000 prize. and
then, out of idle curiosity, attended the
dra wing.
There was considerable rigmarole for
a time, and n dark skinned native posted
on Il board number-the winning num-
Der. The ensign looked at his ticket. and
il was the same humber as that which
had won. He could not. he said after
ward, speak, He had TO walk out into
the air His delight was indescribable.
The next day one of the officials of the
lottery brought u him aboard his ship n
bag containing $4,000 in gold As he is
poor. and as he is also married. he thinks
the money will come in very handy

Substitutes for Meat.

In consequence of the extortions Of the
beef trust, thousands of people in every

usual supply of meat. and in many cases
they have been deprived Of it. They are

would answer all the requirements foI

A SECRET OF YOUTH.
A Scientific Discussion of Very Delicate
Subject.

y scientific contemporary has been
discussing II very delicate subject. 1t
has been considering why women, AS
they advance in years, grow palmer than
men, ami why marriage so frequently
destroys their good LOOKS.
With this very question Mr.. Max
ORell also deals III his latest book and
it encourages the hope that a woman
may retain her youthful appearance
longer, ana thus gain another point Civ
ing her further equality with man, to
md that both the scientific and philosoph-
&c writers agree on the point that care
fnl attention to the personal appear
ance and the temper may do much TO
preserve youth and beauty.
Mr.. Max ORell puts the matter rath-
err more encouragingly, perhaps, or at
least less primly. He bluntly says that
dlserete and judicious coquetry will keep
a woman absolutely beautiful and young
vi 90. After that we must mercifully
draw the veil
Our scientific mentor soberly advises
plenty of open-air exercise. careful atten-
ton 10 the toilette and diet. and the cul-
uyation of amiablity, which, as Mr..
hipling says. is altogether another
story A sense of humor largely helps
the retention of youth. and might have
saved Faust lot of trouble had he pos
sessed it.
But, unhappily, amiability and n sense
of humor are alike difficult to cultivate;
indeed. they are wholly beyond the reach
OF large majority. On the whole. there
fore, it is safer to rely on attention to the
personal appearance. Nowadays it is
made so easy for women to make them
selves attractive that there is little or no
excuse for looking older if. indeed. as Old
as ones age.
The astute French philosopher counsels
woman to be careful about her hair; our
grave scientific contemporary suggests
that lady's toilette should never be hur-
ried. And to this sage advice may be
added third counsel which is to cult
waite distinct stvle Of dress.

Old Painting Of Fort Sumter.

A painting Of Fort Sumter in war time,
made in 1868 by Lieut.. John X. Key,
a nephew of Francis Scott Key, author
of The Star Spangled Banner" is on
exhibition in Charleston. 1t was shipped
through the blockade 20 England, where
ii remained until ii was returned TO
Charleston a few days ago. 1t was
the property of Col. Fl. w. Fiel1en Of
the British army and has been presented
by him 10 Augustine t. Suiythe of
Charleston. Col Fielden resigned from
the British army to accept a commission
under the Confederacy, and served
through the war on the staff of Gen.
Reauregard. 1t was at his request that
the picture was painted.

There Is probably no more awful con-

now serving life term in the Taunton
Nlass.l Insane Asylum. The woman says
she murdered thirty-one persons and

There is pathetic significance in the re-
quest which Lord Roberts makes of the
British public. AS commaudcr-m-chief
of the forces returning from South
Africa, he begs his countrymen who
seek to honor the victorious soldiers
not to ask them to drink. They have,
he says, "wouhily upheld the credit of
their country" and he is solcitious that
their welcome home may not be the
means of srllyng their fair fame" Of
which he is as jealous as he is proud.
When has there been a more conspicuous
protest than this against that folly OF
the two great branches of the Anglo
Saxon race which is known as the treat
ing habit? In America as well as III
Great Britain a day of great rejoicing

of expressing appreciation will gain gen

Ii even a small part of her story is
