Lotteries in Italy.
Italy, however, is afflicted with another
plague, even more destructive than that
of counterfeiting, more tremendous in
its evil results, and which invades every I
d< partinent and every class. The Gov- !
eminent itself regulates the lotteries,
with the idea, probably, of limiting what
could not be avoided, and profiting by it.
It is s iid that the annual net profit which
it derives from this tutelage is $15,000,-
000. But it is considered only a tem
porary measure, the final aim of Italy’s
stater mon being to abolish a vice which
destroys habits of industry a id encour
ugi s crime. It may be considered doubt
ful whether this is the best way to do it,
l.ut the habit was already deeply root. 1
in the character of the Italians. It is
now at least conducted with p rfect hon
esty, the highest iuetionaries of the city
hiking part in the extraction of the num
bers. This ceremony takes place in
Rome every Saturday afternoon in :i
semi-circular building on the Via lii
petta, and is one of the relics of old
times which is destined to pass away.
In a high balcony in the center ot this
convex semi circle are seated a delegate
of the Prefect and several other gentle
men, who pass the fortunate number
from one to the other until it is held up i
to the people and called out by a city •
guard. The people stand on the street ]
with their heads raised mid their eyes ,
fixed on the balcony until hope is
quenched in certainty or satisfied with
success. The part of Italy most infected
with this vice is Campania, where the
annual average for each inhabitant is
about $1.50. Rome is second; then
follows Tuscany, while Liguria is sixth
upon the list. Another clu-s of citizens
in Rome redeem it from this stain by
industry and saving, the annual medium
for every person being thirty-one francs.
The system of savings banks is w isely i
encouraged by' a few able social econo- ,

by the Papal Government. The i. epli. ;

It’s a great thing to be a philanthro
pist. So Mr. Goodheart thought, and
at the suggestion of his neighbor, Mr.
Snide, he resolved to have a grand pic
nic for the poor bootblacks of the city at
his elegant country house. So he sent a
man to hunt up a lot of the boys and
bring them out there one fine afternoon.
They came, a good hundred of them,
and the old gentlemen received them
with smiling faces and kind words.
“ Make yourselves right at home, boys,
and have just as good a time as you
know how to,” he said to them. Then
he left them to go it and went into the
house. In about ’fifteen minutes his
head gardener ernne in and asked him if
be had given three of the boys permis
sion to ride upon his Alderney cow, and
to throw rocks and hard mimes at who
ever objected. Mr. G. said “ No,” and
went out to see about it, lie finally in
duced tho boys to quit that amusement,
and then his coachman camo and said if
he wanted to have any fish in his trout
pond he’d better go and stop the boys
from fishing in it. He did so mid began
to feel rather annoyed at their proceed
ings. But he stood it and didn’t scold.
Presently his dog flew by with a bottle
attached to his tail, nnd the whole gang
se t off in pursuit, and ran over his flow
er bods nnd into the conservatory and
upset valuable plants, aud did a neap of
damage. Then he ordered the gang
started for the city, and in hunting them
up four were found to have just got the
barn afire by smoking in the hay. Vig
orous cffoi t.s, however, saved tile build
ing and the boys xv<re shipped away s
And then Mr, G. sadly told his men to
try mid repair the wreck while he went
over to see the neighbor who suggested
the affair. And they parted foes. And
Mr. G. deelnres he is not and never will
be a philanthropist. It’s harder than

Dogs as Sentries.
When any one devises something sen
sible every one wonders why no one
ever thought of that pmlieular thing be
fore, and on this principle a great many
people, on learning that Russian sentries,
on outposts, are to be assisted by dogs,
will pronounce the change exactly the
thing. All harm to sentries, and,
through their death or capture, to the
force of which they form part, comes
from enemies who approach stealthily ;
the first shot is nhiiosi. invariably fired
by the foe instead of the guard. Against
an enemy on the sentinel, w’ho must at
in', lit i.train liis eyrs in every direction,
is at a great, di advantage, whereas n dog
lying near him, or in advance of him,
would be quid; to note any movement
in liis neighborhood, mid thus put. tho
si'l.ii- ron the alert. In the United
Stairs nf the present tine the dog might
not be of m’li -.1. service to the army, but
it is strarge that In’s ; ecuiinr facilities
ate not appreciat 'd by private indi

hide a hou. <■ is worth two watchmen
on flu- ont ido, for while the latter may
bo bribed or surprised, tho dog cannot
be reached, except by some one entering
the house, mid before the same could be
done, the tuiiiuiil would have alarmed
those inside, and given them an oppp >r
tunity to defend their own. A lively
dog, and the smaller he is the more
satisfactory ho will bo for household
purposes, will scare a burglar away as
soon us he raises his voice ; for no mat
ter how brave a thief may bo he sees no
profit, in entering a house where the
people are aroused in time to fire on him
from the dark. If instead of cherishing
huge brutes to lie out of doors after
dark, make (fight hideous and go visit
ing while they are supposed to be on
iluty, tho householder ivonld devote his
attention to a Skye terrior and give him
free range of the house at night, he
might consider his property safe from

A story is told of an exchange of
courtesy between a Scotch minister and
his parishioner, which is characteristic
of both. The minister was introduced
into a country living, and, in his round
of parochial visits, called at the cottage
ot a little tailor. Taking a seat unin
vited, he proceeded to talk, but found it
hard work, as he met with no response.
The tailor sat upon the table, stitching
in sulky silence. At length ho spoke.
“ Sir,” he said, “I regard it as .an un
warrantable intrusion your entering my
house, and I ask you in wha : capacity
you come?” “My good man,” was the
reply, “ I come as your parish clergy
man—it is my duty to know all my
parishioners. I know you don’t attend
church, but that is no reason why we
should not be friends.” To which the
tailor responded : “Idinna regard ye
as a minister of Christ, but us a servant
of Satan ; if ye come as a gentleman,
well and good ; but as a minister I refuse
to receive you,” which could hardly be
called courteous, but the tailor’s polite
ness was outrivaled by his minister’s,
who, rising, said : “My good fellow,
be pleased to understund that it is only
as your parish clergyman that I over
dreamt of visiting you ; when I visit as a
gentleman I don’t visit persons in yonr
position in society,” with which he de
rnirtod.

Always complain of being tired, and
remember that nobody else gets tired.
Your wife should have everything in
readiness for you, but you should not do
anything for her.
Win n your wife asks for money, give
her a nickle ; ask her what she wants
with it, and when she tells you, ask her
if she can’t do without it. Then go down
town and spend ten times the amount
for cigars, for they are a necessity.
Go down town of an evening, stand
aro md on the street corner mid talk pol
itics ; its more interesting than to stay
at home with your family.
Charge your wife not to gossip, but
you can spin all the yarns yon wish.
Have your wife get up mid make fires,
but don't get up yourself till the rest of
the family are eating breakfast, as you
might take cold.
Wear old clothes, aud make yourself
as untidy as possible until your wife’s
health fails, then it would be best for
yon to fix up some, for in all probability
you will want another when she is gone.
Have a smile for everybody you meet
but get a frown on before you go home.
