It is not generally known that the : ?nt Father of Ills Country was on : i least one occasion the originator of r, lottery, the like of which at tin* pres vat day would i>e forbidden to send its : kets through the mails. That George ashiugton was interested in such a heme is proved by a number of tick - still in existence which hear his gust name. It was the Mountain ad lottery of which George was the anoter, and it is. of course, unuec ary to state that Washington him X did not financially profit from it. '■ the funds raised by the lottery \'re spent in building the road '■(High Cumberland gap, near Fred ksburg. Va. Originally the lottery acts which Washington signed were wth $1 each. Now. because they bear signature, they are easily sold for > apiece, though it is certain that r . t one of them will ever draw a prize, What They 5" a tie.

A very distinguished assemblage hon . ored Grant's bail, which was held j In the newly completed north wing of the treasury building. Elaborate prep arations were made for dancing, the manager, by telegraphic communiea tions. keeping the dance moving si ruultaneously on three floors. But the man who preferred eating to dancing nud could not get even within the sight of food was not well pleased, no freslmients were served in the base ! meat, in a room too small to nccom i module the 6,000 guests, but large i enough to contain the provisions, which were scarce indeed. In the cloakrooms the committee in charge lost their heads, visitors tost their j hats, and it is stated on good authori \ ty that the sulphurous vapors which \ rose in the vicinity of the place where Horace Greeley searched '"or his hat during two hours were stifling. It is recorded that one gentleman walked to Capitol hill, two miles dis¬ tant. in dancing pumps and barehead¬ ed and that many frightened women still cowered in the corners of the dressing rooms at dawn the next morn¬ ing. So. In preparing Grant's second ball, the committee made elaborate arrangements In order that these un pleasantnesses should not again oc cur.—National Magazine. Qnick Eaters. “Hare you any idea.” remarked tlie cashior of one of the largest lunch res taurants In New York, “how many minutes the average down town husi ness man devotes to his midday meal?” "At a venture,” answered the report er. watching the hurried play of knives and forks about him, “I should say minutes.” "You set about the time usually esti mated,” returned the cashier, “hut in reality half that time would be nearer right. ‘The average time consumed for lunch by the patrons of this establish¬ ment is just eight minutes. The fact is,” continued the cashier after the re porter had ventured a foreboding for New York digestion, “people find it such a trifling and unobtrusive matter j ust to get "a bite of lunch’ that few realize what a gigantic business it is merely to supply hungry people down town at noon, because few bring their lunches with them, and from the for niatjon of the city none ran go home. "This establishment feeds 3.0(10 peo¬ ple a day. and the amount of food re¬ quired to care for that patronage is enormous. For example, when we put hash on the 'specials’ enough is made up actually to fill a wagon. V.’e are not the lar"'P9t lunchroom, however.” Common and beautiful In the tropics Is the mango tree.
