THE TALK OF THE DAY.

ION the day OF our sailing from Ham
burg" said a woman just home from a
trip abroad, I'VE received our last New
York papers shortly before the ships de-
parture, and among the marked articles
was one relating to wicked lottery by
which a church hoped TO raise money and
OF the suppression Of the scheme by the
authorities. our Hamburg paper also had
a place marked for especial notice, and by
a strange coincidence the article was on
the same subject, with the difference that
I'm the latter paper an official lottery was
advertised. Here we were asked to take
a chance at l mark. on prizes ranging
from go to $1,000 marks. The whole
sum- said the notice, to be given in prizes
will DO 10000 marks and the amount is
secured by government papers BY taking
a chance one received also an admission
card to an interesting exhibition"
The latest terror Of the countryside. we
see I'm contemporary, is the poacher who
goes his rounds In motor car. The spread
of luxury and fastidiousness among poach-
ers, a country correspondent informs US,
Is so great that many refuse TO steal a
pheasant's egg unless they have their gar
dening gloves on, and their aristocratic
aversion 10 mixing with such rugged sons
of the soil as gamekeepers is becoming
more marked every day-bondon Globe.

The statement OF Appraiser Hedges OF
Boston that the pearls belonging to Mrs
James J. Brown, OF Newport and Denver,
which were the subject OF n recent In
vestigation, were "only limitations" will I'M
doubtedly recall TO a New York woman
an incident which occurred at her home
I'm the winter OF 1879. Shortly before Christ
mas twenty-four women assembled at her
home one afternoon for bridge. After all
had gone away maid found a string OF
pearls I'm the drawing room, and the tele-
phone became busy at once calling up the
various women, with view TO restoring
tho lost Jewels. Strange to relate. 10 one
claimed the pearls. and the hostess was at
n loss as to what TO do with them The
solution came when she took them 10 a
large tewelry house where she thought
there might be a record OF their sale
There she was told that what was lost and
found was string OF near" pearls and
mot very near at that" Every woman
who wore pearls that afternoon has been
seen with a similar adornment since then,
and the person who lost the shams is still
unknown.
