Harvard College Owes Holworthjr and Harvard Hall to Ihle Now Unlawful Method of Procuring Ktsuda Public Drawings In South America. When ouo reads, as has frequently been the case of late, of the arrest of such nud such an Individual for the maintaining and promoting of a lottery, It Is hard to conceive that within the present century Harvard College sought and obtained permission from the Leg islature to hold such an affair. Huch Is the case, however, If we can rely on his tory. In 1800, when the llnanccs of tho col lege were In a decidedly critical state, the corporation, having represented the situation and duly petitioned, were ac corded power by tho general court to raise by means of n lottery the sum of $30,000 for the erection of a new build ing In the college yard. With the pro ceeds of this lottery the college was en abled to begin In 1811 the now building, which was completed In 1818. Tho entire cost of the building Hoi worthy was $:U,000, so Unit tho bal ance which remained of the $20,000 pro duced by the lottery wns "applied to re instate tho stock which tho college had expended In erecting Stoughton Hall and to other objects specified In the act granting the lottery." This now building, which to-day Is probably tho one most sought after by undergraduates at tho annual drawing of rooms, and In which It is not al lowed that frcshincu shall live, received Its niimc In honor of Sir Matthew IIol worthy, tho grentest benefactor of tho college In respect to the amount of his bounty, during the seventeenth century. Ho wus a merchant of Hackney, In the county of Middlesex, and was knighted by Chnrles II. In IOCS. At his death In 1078 a part of his will was found to read as follows: "I give and bequeath to the college or university In or of Cambridge', In New England, the sum of 1,000 (enormous at that time), to be paid over to the governors and di rectors thereof, to be disposed of by them as they shall Judge best for pro moting of learning and promulgation of the gospel In those parts; the same to be paid within two years after my demise." The above case of n lottery, however, was not the llrst In the history of the college. As early an lTOo one had been authorized for the purpose of raising funds for the erection of n new build lug (now Harvard Hall) to replace Its predecessor, destroyed by lire. Tho lire which destroyed the former building wns supposed to have originated uujler tho henrth of the library, where a VI ro hod been kept fdr the use of the general court, which was sitting thero on Aic count of the prevalence of smnlioxjln Iloston. Tho now building, creeled from tho proceeds of tho lottery, con tained a "chapel, dining hall, library, museum, philosophy chamber and an npnrtment for the philosophical appar atus." Such description sounds not un like a catalogue of the machinery nud cogs stored In a mans head. Again the lottery wa s resorted to (17IM) for the purpose of replenishing the treasury of the college. On this occasion tho capital prize of $10,000 was drawn by the college- Itself, the lucky number being 18,5-17. With such precedent as this certainly It would not seem unnatural that Judges, particularly If they had gradu ated from Harvard and had happened to have lived In Holworthy, should be Inclined to denl gently with those ac cused of breaking the lottery laws. In ninny of the feverish South Amor Icnn republics to-day tho lottery Is In full swing, the proceeds presumably be ing dovoted to tho support of hospitals and to various other charities under tho supervision of the government. Thero the drawings nro held In public, usually once a week, and are attended en mnsso by the leisurely class of philosophers, who usually constitute the majority of tho citizens, nud who look upon tho whole thing ns a form of recrcatlou as good ns tho play. Another point which might perhaps be said to argue lu faor of tho lottery Is that In 1SUS the stenmer Stillwater, on which the Honduras lottery wns drawn at sea, after Its expulsion from Louisiana, served the government In transporting troops from the United States to Porto Klco. Itoston Globe. IDEAL HERO HAS CHANGED. The Commonplace Man of Fiction He plucetl by the Mun or Action. Ilobcst Grant lu an article on "He roes ami Herolues" In the Woman's Home Compaulon turns from the heroes ami herolues of every-day life, nnd says: "Incidentally hero It Is Interesting to note how quickly nud completely this same world Is capable of changing Its taste In respect to the heroes and hero ines of fiction. Only ten years ago Mr. Howells was gravely assuring us that the sophlstocatcd public had dismissed forever from favor nud faith tho en gaging but Impossible beings of roman tic literature. He Intimated that Du mas wus n gross offender against nnt urnltsm, ami hence truth. He even de scribed the author of 'Vanity Fair' ns 'that caricaturist Thackeray,' and de plored that Trollopo should have yearned to Imitate him rather than bo satisfied with tho workaday realities of Mrs. lroudle.' Ho announced almost convincingly thnt realism has come to stay, nnd that any hero or heroine must be fnlso to art unless to bo met with lu one's dally walks. Wo were told that fiction henceforth was to deal w'.th real life. "And what Is the case? But ton years have elapsed since Howe'ls spoke, yet ever since we have been un dergoing a deluge of heroes' nnd hero ines whose doughty deeds nnd exalted sentiments ns men of arms and lovers have no real counterparts In this pro sale world. And lu their wake has followed the romantic historical novel, the novel of ndmlrably successful ad venture on flood and Held performed by pseudo ancestors of durs, whose flesh nnd blood when confronted by Basil March and his wife suggest tae com parison of Hyperion to n Satyr. 'The Gcntlomnn of France,' 'The Prisoner of Zendn,' 'KIchard Carvel,' Manlce Meie tilth, 'To .Jnve.and To Hold,' with their editions mounting to the hundreds of thousands, attest ."hat the world Is still foolish enough to laugh with and to cry over sheer puppets of the Imagina tion. For the moment tho pendulum of literary hero-worship Is far to iio pole of thorough-going romance, nna the heart of the realist Is sad within hlu snve for the comfort which flows from 'David Hnrum' nnd 'Mr. Dooley,' tho?e sane cnrnnl twins among an army of fascinating, flawless cardboard crea tions." The greatest number of races ever won by a Jockey In ono season was tho 240 by Fred Archer, 1885. It Is one thing to fall heir to an estate In Egland, but-getting anything out of It that Is another story. It Is as true now as It was when Shakspearo wrote: "The devil enn cite Scrlpturo for his purpose." Australia has been In the business a long time. Next year It will celebrate a great century yacht regatta. Geography may be snld to bo In a transition state. One day knows not what another may bring forth. Ira D. Snukcy has been making a re vival tour of Ireland, and receptions In his honor have been frequent through out the Island. A model of tho liumnn heart, working ns In life and pumping blood through artificial nrterlcs, Is the work of a Con tinental physician. .Hhakspeare, who always "published tho news," held thnt "They are as sick that surfeit with too much as they thnt starve with nothing." This was Francis llncon's brief com mentnry: "Prosperity Is the blessing of the Old Testament; adversity Is tho blessing of the New." As an example of tho rudo energy of nature the late windstorm wns a terri ble manifestation. Mun nay pin and pro) and brace ever so Orongly, but nature will have' Its way. Kven royalty Is not iiImvc tho fre quent uho of slnng. It Is reported thnt ouo of tho favorite expressions of tho Kmpress Dowager of China was this: "Oh, go Jump down n well." Chicago parks are up against n rabbit crisis, nnd how to be rid of them Is tho question. Ferrets will bo used lu Lin coln Park to kill ofT the rabbits which are running through tho grounds. Among tho Chilians n belief prevails that tho Juice of onions Is a sure euro for typhoid fever If given In ItH early stages. Perhnps the typhoid microbes dlsllkp the onion's perfume nnd decide to movo on. Chloroform should not bo ndmlnls tercd to tho same subject twice within a week If It cnu be avoided, because It has been shown that the elimination of the drug Is not completely effected with in a .shorter period. Denjamln Young, n boy of Hobokcn, N, J put n piece of phosphorus, that he thought was wax, Into his pocket. The friction caused by the rubbing of his pnnts on tho phosphorus set them on lire nnd burned him badly. Dime novels arc out of date. The trashy magazines havo taken their plnce, and then let It be noted that bet ter reading at home nud In the public libraries have supplanted the lurid teu cent stories to some extent. When down nnd destitute thero Is no friend like n dollar, unless It be five dol hits. This surdld philosophy must be practically experienced to bo publicly approved. There aro times when not anything surpasses the blessings of nvnllablo funds. Que of tho sparse population of Juan Ferunndez, Alexander Selkirk's Island, Is a Swede who lends a hermit's life. Ho hardly speaks to his nelghlwrs, and ho subsists on the product of a small garden and by fishing. Perhnps ho thinks ho Is a second edition of our old friend, "Robinson Crusoe." Apricot Pits. Not long ago the humble apricot pit was a valueless product to be put out of tho way as speedily us possible, lett er, It commanded fire dollars a ton to be used as fuel under the boilers where steam power was generated. It burned well and made a desirable fuel. Now, the uses to which the erstwhile de spised pit Is put ure many. The de mand Is running ahead of the supply, ami Its value Is continually Increasing. It Is made to yield up Its contents of marketable poison prusslc acid; It gives a very desirable quality of "al mond oil;" It enters largely luto the manufacture of candy In places, Ger many, for Instance; It Is even said to be useful In the fabrication of baking" powder. These aro some of the pit's possibilities. There are others, and there Is no longer any difficulty in Hud Ing a market for them. Somo men dou't do things been use they are ncar-stghted, aud some be cause tbajr are far-sighted.
