GERMANY AND SPAIN
 HAVE LOTTERIES
Both Countries Go in For
 This Sort of Gambling.

Most persons would not assume to trace any distinct resemblanceS be- tween Germans and Spaniards, but they meet on one common ground and that is gambling. The lottery is as great an institution in Germany and as eagerly participated in as ever the Spanish variety. In both countries there are official as well as private lotteries.
 There is this difference. The lottery tickets in Spain are peddled every where. In the streets the small boys crying the newspapers offer lottery tickets if you do not care to read. In the theatres, if you have no desire for cakes or sweets, there are always lottery tickets to be had.
 In the clubs and the cafes there is great excitement in Spain after the broadside containing the winning num- bers comes out. The boys run around the streets hawking these sheets like newspapers, and those who cannot af- ford to buy them crowd around the small tobacco shops where lottery tickets are sold to see if by chance they have drawn prize. In the cafes, you see men cramped over these sheets, comparing the numbers with bundles of the papers which may re- present fortunes
 The Spanish illustrated weeklies al- ways make a feature of the drawings for the big lotteries, such as the Christ mas drawing. They seek out the pos sessors of the fragments of the main prizes, because almost never has the winning ticket been held entirely by one person. There are always stories of how Sonora X., having dreamed of a certain number combination, exhort- ed her husband to buy this, and how he bought a thirty second part of the ticket and behold! it won a prize of 4,OOO pesos. There are always, too, that he would not win, gave away or sold very cheaply part of the ticket that took the big prize.
 In Germany things are quieter but none the less determined. The tickets for the Government lotteries are sold in regular licensed stores, which do no other business. The investors buy their way into four or five successive drawings, convinced that as the spec ulators who won small or large prizes are eliminated there is more room for them.
 The German lottery is different from the Spa nish in that way. There is one big drawing every once in a while in Spain, for which a ticket is good only once. The German sort is in series, good for, say five drawings, limiting the field for the last drawing, because every number that wins a prize is paid off and eliminated, after the success sive drawings.
 There are any number of unattached I drawings, too, in Germany, and all the big cities have lotteries for various There are lotteries for, the benefit of charities and so on.-New York Sun.
