II Is somewhat surprising that In a
country OF such thrifty persons as
France lotteries should flourish to the
extent they do. The man who saves
money on small earnings seldom takes
the gamblers chance on which all
lotteries depend. but it is fact that
France abounds in these institutions.
SO pronounced is the evil that the
government has taken up the matter
having just submitted to the Chamber
OF Deputies proposition looking to
the adjustment of lotteries.
