STATE LOTTERIES.
They Were Once Very Common and
Very Popular In Europe.


Lotteries wcre common I'm ancient
Rome. and during the middle ages lot
teries were utilized by the Italian mer
chants for the disposal of their goods
Some OF the Italian states then adopted
the lottery as means of raising reve-
nue.. and the institution of state lot
teries afterward became very COM
mon and very popular throughout Eu-
rope.
The earliest English state lottery OF
which there Is any record was In 1863,
when 10000 chances were sold at 10
shlllings each, the drawing taking
place In the west door of st. Pauls
cathedral
The prizes consisted OF articles OF
plate. and the profits were employed
for the repair of certain harbors. Early
in the reign Of Queen Anne private lot
terles were suppressed las public nul-
sances," but government lotteries. how
ever. were still maintained, and from
100 to 1924 considerable sums were
annually raised In lotteries authorized
by acts OF parliament.
The average yearly profit to the gov
ernment from 1893 to 1924 was over
100000. On the ground Of injury 10
public morals lotteries OF all kinds
were abolished IN England In 1896

The BEAUTIFUL HAND.
A Decision That stood the Test Of
All Time.

There was dispute among three
ladies' as TO which had the most beau
tiful hand One sat by a stream and
dipped her hand into the water aud
held II up. another plucked strawber-
ries until the ends Of her fingers were
pink and another gathered vlolets until
her hands were fragrant An old. hag-
gard woman, passing by. asked. who
will give me a gift. for | am poor?" All
three denied her. but another who sat
near unwashed In the stream, un-
stained with fruit unadorned with
flowers. gave her n little gift and salts
fed the poor woman. and then she ask
cd them what was the dispute, and
they told her and lifted mp before her
their beautiful hands Beautiful in
deed" said she when she saw them.
but when they asked her which was the
most beautiful she said. 1T is not the
hand which Is washed clean in the
brook. It is not the hand that is tipped
with red. 1t Is not the hand that Is gar.
landed with fragrant flowers. but the
hand that gives 10 the poor Is the most
beautiful" As she said these words
her wrinkles fled. her stan was thrown
away and she stood before them an
angel from heaven. with authority TO
decide the question IN dispute. and that
decision has stood the test Of all time.
