Old Public Lotteries.

Harvard was aided by 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 1861 and
then the selectmen of Boston were
instructed at 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
hail. The legislature granted the
petition, and the profits of the lot
teries, which extended to 1854, 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.

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, it was the
fashion to domesticate 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 a handsome pair Of
pigeons in ancient Rome was not a
trife, for Axius. Roman knight. once
sold a 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.

/ did not recognize her then. From the
long pier he watched her swim far out

was making for the end of the pier
to dive of. Near him somebody spoke

It's Hoskins' girl, 10. She's come

In flash of recollection Courtney
remembered the scene at the old fruit
docks years before. Surely, he remem.

OF her had kept his feet in the narrow
path many a time.
A cry Of horror rose from the crowd
along the beach. There came that

went like seal, straight after the
girl. She had struck an old sunken
pile. Down there in the binding
depths, his reaching fingers caught in
her thick curls, loosened when her
cap fell Off With one arm around the
slender waist he fought his way back
to life and fresh air.

HOSkINS'|

By lENORE ADAMS

Lon" Hoskins had landed at Oca
tawa Beach before its discovery and
development. He had set up his tent
on the pleasant point of land between
the boat dock and the pier, and thence.
forth 1t was known as Hoskins' Point.
Also. had he set up a peanut stand
and rooster that Kissed merrily in
the ears of the dock hustlers and
peach shippers.
Hoskins girl sold the peanuts. 10
was Is then; slender and tanned as a
boy. with a steady appraising glance.
and a smile like the first rift of sun
light after a midsummer thunder

One day Senator Farlow's steam
launch anchored at the dock. 1t was
filled with pretty, stylishly gowned
girls. and college pals of young Court
ney Farlow. And they bought peanuts
OF Jo-Jo. with her long-lashed hazel
eyes, signals Of danger, even then;
her short curly hair, crisp and
golden
Courtney fingered at the peanut
rooster long that afternoon, until the
rest of the party hailed him from the
launch. 1t was already casting off
Its lines, and the boy made a care
less running leap, and fell short into
the deep treacherous waters of Black
lake.
10 saw the danger first. The great
fruit steamer was loading that day,
and lay at her moorings few feet be-
yond the little gay launch. Court
ney was borne by the current to the
waters between the steamer and the
piling. Any moment a chance swell
might crush him to death.

threw a life buoy to the lad and pulled
him out of danger. And just for a
minute she had his head on her lap,
Just for a moment as Courtney opened
his eyes and looked up at her.
What's your name?" he asked
hoarsely, with boys awkward graft

she told him.

next day Of $500, and 10 only flushed,
