Franz Josef has many more years to live, and in the opinion of many ob- servers his passing will be foloWe0 by a conhagration that may engulf all Europe. The Austrian empire, made up of Germans, Italians, Hungaria.ns, Slavs. Moslens,' with little in com mon with each other, is held together by the affection-inspiring personality of the Emperor. At least, that is the common explanation and it seems the most logical one.
 Within the reign of the present Elm peror Austria has progressed from an absolute to a constitutional monarchy. The constitution was granted in 1861, and Supplanted a system of feudalisn1 inherited from the dark ages. Un- der the terms of the union of Austria and Hungary, the latter has retained it's own parliament and ministry, and is practically an independent country save in it's allegiance to Franz Josef. With the Emperor'S death there is lit- tie doubt that the Hungarians will seek to break the one important bond which links their country with Aus tria.
 The aged Emperor is just 9 frac- ton under six feet in height, and of rather slight but w1ry physique. His personality is such that he has often been compared to Abraham Lincoln. In the matter of religion he is a staunch Catholic.
 It is the great regret of the Elm perors life that he has no son to sue ceed him on the dual throne. His nephew, Franz Ferdtiand, now in his fftieth year, is his heir, but there are many who believe that he will never rule. and that the moment of the En- peror's death will be the signal for 8 revolt that will mark the end of the empire-perhaps with Germany, Rus sia and Italy fighting over the frag- ments.

FIRST THINGS IN HISTORY

The first child of English parents born in the New World was Virginia Dare, the daughter of William and Eleanor Dare. It was 326 years ago August 19, 15S7, that the stork made it's historic flight to Roanoke, Va, where Dare and his young wife were members of an agricultural party sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh. Dare was the sonlin-law of John White. the governor of the colony. The birth of the baby was a great event and in her infancy she was the pet and pride of the colonists After cultiYating the friendship of the Indians, and con ferring on one of their chiefs the title of. Lord of Roanoke-the first and last peerage created on the soil of what is now the American repub1ic-Governor or White sailed away. leaving his daugh- ter, son-in-law and infant grand daughter behind. When he returned after landing 8 cargo of potatoes in Ireland-White found Roanoke des- oIation, and thus Virginia Dare van ished from the pages of history It is believed that the colonists mingled with the Indians, for long afterwards families of the Hatteras tribe exhib- tied marked English characteristics
 The first lottery, in the modern meaning of the word, was the 'lotto' of Florence, which held its first draw ing on this date. August 18th. in the year 153o. The first lottery in Franoe was established about nine years later, and received the name of blanque from the white tickets which indicat- ed the blanks. Francis I. gave royal assent to the scheme, but collected a tax from it. The first lottery men tioned in English, history was held in 1869, and the drawings took place at the western door of St. PauPs cathe- dral. In Germany the first money lot tery was held at Nuremb berg in 1899. Lotteries were held in America from earliest times, and the first Virginia settlers were supported from the profits of an English lottery. In 1899 an assemb1age of ministers in Boston denounced the lottery as "a cheat and the promoters of such schemes as '-pillagers of the people,, Generally however, lotteries were popular, and in 1776 the American congress estab- Iished a national lottery. Lotteries were abolished in England in 1926 and in France ten years later. but in the United States the notorious Louis jana lottery continued operations until twenty years ago.

She soon found man to suit her

plications by letter, by telephone, by

Of the country related by the Chinese
he had met during his Eastern trav-
els, that in 1875 he wrote to a friend
in Genoa telling him Of the isles
Astounding in gold and pearls" Two
centuries later, this letter was read
by Columbus and so fired his mag
nation as to lead him to set out on
that voyage of exploration which
ended in the discovery Of America.
The commencement Of European
intercourse with Japan, however,
dates from 1912 when three Portu-
guese adVenturers were driven onto
the Japanese coast. The Portuguese
were kindly received by the natives,
and an arrangement was entered
into whereby a Portuguese vessel
was to be annually dispatched to
Japan laden with merchandise. A
few years later, the great apostle of
the East, Francis Xavier, and num-
Der of Jesuit priests, sailed to Japan
and were enthusiastically received
and all ranks and classes quickly en-
braced the Catholic faith.
For 40 years Catholicism was
triumphant in Japan, but in 1887 the
edict for the Punishment Of the mis-
sionaries was published. This was
followed not only by the expulsion
of foreigners from the country, but
the enactment of a law, rigidly OBJ
served for two and a half centuries,
that no Japanese should leave his
country, and no foreigner permitted
to land therein. Down to the 18th
century, therefore, Japan has prac-
ticaIly been an unknown quantity to
the rest of the world.
