Old Public Lotteries,

Harvard was aided by q lottery in
1889 by special act. The scheme was
to buy Joseph Pope's orrery for the
college. Three thousand tickets at
$40 each were sold. The plan was
successful, and after all expenses had
been paid Harvard had the orrery and
$500 in the school treasury. Among
the public buildings erected in Amer
lea by the aid Of lotteries Faneuil hall,
in Boston, has the most historical in
terest. The hall burned in 1851 and
then the selectmen of Boston were
instructed at a town meeting to petit
ton the general court to empower a
suitable person to raise by way of
lottery such sum of money as would
be sufficient for the rebuilding of the
hall. The legislature granted the
petition, and the profits of the lot
teries, which extended to 1894, were
applied to the erection of the second
Faneuil hall, which held the town
meetings of the Revolution and still
stands. In 1888 an act was passed
which put an end to the sale of lottery
tickets In Massachusetts.

When Eileen Roberts reached the
age of thirty-five she resigned herself
gracefully to the prospects of spinster-
hood. She ceased to struggle against
tendency to adiposity, and settled
down to the expectations Of a perma'
nent position in the firm Of Wakefield
and Gray, exporters.
In an office filled with smart youths
and giggling girls, Miss Roberts ought
to have held higher position than
that of clerk. But she had never
had the money to study stenography
when she was girl, and afterward
she had her sick mother to care for,
a task which absorbed the whole Of
her ten dollars a week. Simple-mind-
ed. she was the butt Of the younger
and more thoughtless element.
When young clerk passes a wom-
an with the flippant remark, Say,
Eileen, I'll get you beau before long
trust me-" he needs a man of ma
ture age to take him across his knee
and thrash the viciousness out of
him. At least, that's my opinion.
Poor Eileen Roberts looked woefully
out Of place, and neither Wakefield
nor Gray had ever considered her
seriously for anything better.
With her placid, good-natured face,
her tireless industry, her patience, 1t
seemed incredible that anyone could
make sport Of her. She was Just the
woman, too. whom some rogue might
have taken advantage Of Perhaps 1t
was better that she had not married,
to slave for the sort of man who
would have deluded her into wifehood.
At least, many thought so. But most
Of us thought nothing at all. And it
was always good fun to get rise
out of Eileen"
New girls were always coming and
girls less new going. There was lit
tie Bessie Waters; she hadn't been
in the Office week before she began
to tease Miss Roberts. It was a
strange thing, too, but the elder wom-
an seemed to take an amazing liking
to her. She never noticed Bessie's

alteration of her was quite the most
amusing thing in Bessie's experience.
Say, Miss Roberts, I'm going to get
a beau for you tomorrow Bessie
would say. And when you're mar
ried. maybe you'll let me come and
live with you, instead Of at the Girls
home. Well all be happy together
Mr.. Roberts and you. and me-"
She told US all how Miss Roberts
had taken her out to lunch and piled
her with affectionate inquiries. Did

Carrier Pigeons In Ancient Time

Carrier Pigeons In Ancient Times.
Pigeons. as commonplace as they ap-
pear, are characters Of antiquity.
Dove is the Anglo-Saxon name; pig.
con. the Norman name.
During the fifth Egyptian dynasty,
5000 years before Christ. 1t was the
fashion to domestlcate pigeons and to
train them as carriers and messengers.
The promptness with which Caesar
was informed Of the rebellion In Gaul,
and thereby enabled to cross the Alps
before those uprising could possess the
entire province. was due to the use of
carrier pigeons. In the Crusades, these
birds were skillful and faithful mes
sengers.
The price OF handsome pair of
pigeons In ancient Rome was not q
trife, for AGius, Roman knight, once
sold pair of pigeons for 40 denarii--
about SIS. At that time. too, they were
by far the swiftest conveyers OF news,
and were much In demand at the cele-
bration Of the Olympic games.
