Mnrrlnire Utcr-nlly a Lottery.
That marriage Is a lottery Is not
merely a figure of speech In the prov
ince of Smolensk, Russia ; It Is an
actual fact There four times every
year a lottery Is held, the capital prize
being a young country girl, with some
times a good dowry In sheep. The price
of a ticket Is about 85 cents. At a
single drawing 5,000 tickets are sold.
He who Is fortunate enough to draw
the lucky ticket has his alternative
he may marry the girl if she pleases
him, also gaining thereby $4,250, In ad
dition to whatever the girl brings with
her as dowry, or, If the "prize" in ques
tion does not please him, he can turn
the ticket over to a friend.
Fnllh with Work.
Everywhere over the dwellings of the
natives of the great central plateau of
Bolivia Is the grass cross. Charles
M. Topper, the author of "Tanama to
Tatagonln," states that he rarely found
a hut without this symbolism.
The cross, ho was told, was blessed
by the priest, and then It kept out the
rain, which at times Is very heavy.
One old man, whose undoubted ortho
doxy was, at least, without a crust of
superstition, was asked If tha crosses
really did keep out the rain.
"Yes, If the roof Is a good one," he
gravely replied.
Female house servants command from
