Old ~ iitto and Her Lucky Lot tory Ticket. iOld Landry was a thin, shriveled up little man, very rich, and so parsimoni ous that people said he could share an egg. Since the death of his wife he had i3red all alone in a tiny house In his na 'tire village. We say "alone." although lie had an old servant with him, but lirigitte was of small account, a little more valuable than the clog, perhaps, but less than the donkey, for that cost forty crowns. She had entered the Landry household as cow girl when only twelve years old, and had remained there ever since, and was a simple, hon est soul, with a lxo'ndless admiration for "the master." lie did not hesitate to turn to good necount her blind, dog lik6 devotion, anid, as a consequence, Brigitte's javings were not large, though h-r duties were arduous. ."You are a good old fool," he would somerfnes say to her, by the way of re,'nmpense for her ceaseless industry, and then her wide mouth would expand slowly in a delighted grin. which dis played her toothless glums as she ex claimed admiringly: "Master loves to make a little joke:" One day the miser tholght lie could save a .nason's bill by repairing a broken wall at the side of a pond, but while he was at work his foot happened to slip nidl he fell into the water just where it was most deep. lie went floundering about for it minute or two calling for help at the top of his voice, ,ut no one heard hinm, and his strength being exhausted he was albout to sink for the thirdl time when Brigitte caught sight of him. and, leaping into the pond at the risk of her own life, she succeed ed. after desperate efforts, in bringing lim to land. The old man tans uncon sciouis, but Brigitte tooln him un 'der her arm as if he were a bundle of straw, carried him home and rubbed him so vigorously that animation was restored. When hP opened his eyes the good creature shed tears of joy, anti ihe had the delicacy not to mention the fact of her having neglected to save his trowel, which he hadl droppw-d in the -rater, and which was a great loss, be ing quite new. (On the contrary, he exclaimed, in a burst of grateful gen erosity: "You saved my life, and I shall not forget it. I shall give you a present, Brigitte." True to his word, the next day he called her to him, and after some hesi tation drew out his long leather purse from his pocket, and tlhen, with as much effort as if he were pulling a tooth, he took out a coin and handed it to her. "Twenty cents:," he said, "over and above your wages. Brigitte; you under stand, this is not to be deducted; it is a present. Now do not spend it foolishly. You can buy a lottery ticket with it. and perhaps you will win a hundred thousand franct:" It was the first time in his life that he had been so generous, and lie could not forget it, but seemed to take a tender interest in the fate of his twenty-cent piece. Again and again he asked the olt woman whether she had bought the ticket. "Not yet, master," was her answer, every time lie asked, but one day she replied to his usual inquiry: "Yes, master, I have bought it." "WVhat number is it?" he said. "Number thirty-four." "Take care that you do not lose the ticket. I will lock it up in my closet for you, if you like." "Oh, no, master. I will not lose it." After that excitement matters re sumed their usual course in old Landy's house, plenty of woek and very little food continuing to fall to Brigitte's share. The miser was beginning to forget his own prodigality in rewarding the servant, when one day, at the bar ber's shop, whelre he had droppedt in, as usunt, to reatd the newspaper without buying it, he caught sight of a para graph which gave him a terrific shock. It was the result of the drawing of the lottery, and one line stood out in flaming figures which nearly dazzled him. "Numblwr .4 wins the grand prize of one hundred thousand francs:' The miser uttered such a cry as he read, that the startled barber grazed with his razor the oar of the school master, who was being shaved at that moment. "'What is the matter?" cried both men at once. "Oh, nothing, nothing," answered Tl,andry, recovering his presence of mind, and then he readjusted hisspec tacles andt read the line again, spelling each word carefully. There was no mistake: number thirty-four, Brigitte's nrmber, had won the grand prizce! lie put dlitiln the paper and ruished out of the shop.

His money, he reflected, had won the prize, So, did not the fortune belong to hMt , A dozen different seheies toe poesess- I ing himself of the money passed through it his mind, and at least he decided upon r a desperate plan. Ii "Well, Brigitte, any news?" he said, g as he entered his house, wlhed the n woman was busy at h0' usual tasks. a "No, master, except that one of the a chickens has the pip." o It was clear that she had not yet r heard the news, and the old miai I chuckled with delight at the thought of I his ownt bhrewdness. He began by a ordering Brigitte to kill a fowl and f cook it for dinner with a piece of pork, t gave her money to buy coffees stllutt and a bottle or brand3y, snid then went down to the cellar to fetch some wine. r "What evil spirit has got into him?" thought Brigitte in amazement at this I unheard-of extravagance, but when the s meal was ready, and two plates set at c table, her wonder increased at the c prospect of company to dilner. )Old d Landry, however, told her tosit in the i place opposite him, and when she re fused fo take such a liberty he ea- I claimed, sternly: "Do as I tell you, yo' old idiot!" Then the woman, having heard that I It was dangerous to oppose the whims I of a crazy man, sat down trembllag on a the edge of the chair, and ter master having filled her plate and glass said I persuasively: "Go on, my good woman, eat, drink," I and when they had got as far as the I coffee he exclaimed, suddenly: t "Brigitte, I'm going to get married." "Indeed, master," she replied, "I I think you are right. You are not too l old." "Well, since you think that, we shall r be married as soon as possible, you and I," he said. After the chicken and pork and wine, Brigitte thought she was prepared for i anything, but this was too much. "You are joking," she gasped in ter ror, but the other hastened to explain i that he .was growing old and had no roe lations. no friends, and he did not want to die all alone like a dog; besides that, he was not ungrateful, confound itt And Brigitte had saved his life. He could not forget that. The banns were published immedt ately, and the wedding took place It. the great delight of the whole village. Then the strange pair returned to their home, where a new servant, cngaged in Brigitte's place, awaited them. They had hardly got inside the house when the bridegroom asked, merrily: "My dear, where did you hide your ticicet?" "What ticket?" said the bride, taking off her spectacles and looking wonder ingly at the speaker. "Why, the lottery ticket, No. 84. which you bought with my twenty cents." "Oh husband!" cried the old woman, "how you have fretted about that ticket! I wanted to please you, but lot teries are no good-" "llave you lost it?" he gasped. "I never had it to lose, for I bought sausages with the money!" replied Blrigitte, quietly; "the weather was so cold, and I am very fond of sausages." -Translated from the French for N. Y. Epoch. MEALS BY SCHEDULE. Close Figurineg on What Can its Eaten White Waiting for the Train. "I have only two minutes to get my breakfast and catch my train," said a tall man in an Irish frieze uls~ter to the waiter in a railway station the other morning. "What can you give me in the smallest possible time? Take into consideration, too, the fact that I have left my false teeth under the pillow at my hotel." "We have just the thing for you, sir." and he immediately brought a cup of coffee and a piece of lemon pie. The gentleman sat down, and in less than a minute from the time he gave his order was rushing toward the office for his ticket "lie made pretty good time," re marked a customer who sat at the next table. "O)h, that's nothing," replied the waiter; "we beat that every day. I once knew a man who came in here who had only sixty seconds in which to get. his breakfast, buy his ticket and reach his train." "'What did you give him?" "Two soft baked apples and a glass of milk. lie finished in just fifteen seconds, took another fifteen for the purchnase of his ticket. and when I last. saw him he was walking up and down the platform smoking a cigar, impa tiently waiting for the train to start..' "I suppose most passengers who come in here are in a hurry?" "Never saw but two who were not. id one of these was a soldier who had lost both legs in the war, and the other was a tramp who was waiting for the night freight. "When a customer comes in and says he wants something to eat in a hurry I ask him how much time he has or what train he wantsto catch. Now, 1 have a list of those 'articles that I can serve and which can be eaten in exactly the time the passenger has to spare. 'To the customer having one minute for luncheon I serve baked apples andmilk: if he has two minutes, lemon pie and cold coffee: three minutes, apple pie and hot coffee; four minutes, slapjacks and coffee; five minutes, ready cooked sausages and mashed potatoes: six min utes, fishballs and hlash, cold roast heel, and so on. I tell you we work on springs all the time." And the waiter rushed off to serve another customer who appeared to be in a hurry.-Boston Hierald. -A Familiar Face.--She-"So you've been out west?

A l..inag agl.es la Ibted 3 iersV Ae s 'the lilsijal hiiminp i Vifijllts; &Ia8 , at th ie i et of thie swaslpy tracts is America, is also one of the most promis- t ing areas for reclamation. It contains fully fifteen hundred square miles, and is at preselt OQ lItll. ees:ne: Ftcit fdI It tpply of tlilber which is constantly di minishing. The swamp is situated on an inclined plane, gently undulating, and is .ally nothing but a continuation of the low, swamps;, eatstl ptlint di ihitch bxleiads rom 'exas northward. It is an old sea-bottom, and the western el boundary of the swamp is a sea cliff and beach. Owing to the original de ficiency of slope it is swampy because C the wwvter canltt vttti til; said Its #Witti ti nature is increased by the growth of vegetation which acts like a sponge in retaining water. a Near the center of the swamp is the famous Lake Prusmmond, about which so much has been writtett, Siid the b origin of which is still art unsettled qtuestionl. It has been supposed thaLt during some time of drouth a fire, burn- a ing the peat, has produced a large de pression in which the waters of the c lake have gathered. Prof. Shaler, of the United States geological survey, considers this explanation to be in* n probable, although smaller pool<s have l~ been produced in tills Way. tic oei'ai as a theory that as the vegetation grew upmn the old sea-bottom, which had h been raised to dry land, it began to t extend over the entire area, Lake n Drummond being the last place to be filled. One of the most in teresting features connected with the Dismal Swamp, is its pecutiar vege= t;Ction. Trees generally cannot grtow in very swampy tracts for their roots y need to have access to the air during the i growing season. Tile tbald cypfest F (Taxodlium distichum) under ordinary t conditions differs in no way from an i ordinary tree with respect to its roots, a but in swamps such as the Dismal Swamp. where the reots are -be"leath 8 water all the year, it has formed the o habit of sending a knee-like protuber- I ance from the roots up above the water into the air-breathing holes, one might a say, for the rooxts. In this way the ii cypress can live in very wet swamps. e The black gnms of the Dismal Swamp 1 accomplishes the same end by arching a its roots so as to raise portions of them I above water. As would be expected the animal life a of this great swamp is also peculiar. } No squirrels exist because there are no t nuts: ground-loving animals are also a absent because of the extreme wetness, I so that there are no mice, moles, squir rels. or other animals of this class. I Birds whic'h build on the ground cannot live here, and the chief animal popula- i tion of the higher classes consist of water birds and snakes. Of the larger animals bears are abundant. and there is a peculiar and very ferocious species t of wild horned cattle. These animals. I probably the descendants of former domesticated cattle, are now thorough ly wild and very dangerous. The fights I of the wild bulls are said to be very ex- a citing by those who have seen them, and in the contests between the bears and hulls both are sometimes killed. It is said that the bear. in order to escape 1 the danger from the horns of the cattle, have the habit of springing upon their backs and rending the muscles which support the heads of their prey. This region is in part a wilderness, I but some efforts have been made to drain it. though these have been in the main unsystematic and unscientific, and have producedlittle result of value. Prof. Shaler estimates that by a proper system of draining this great swamp. fully one hundred and sixty thousand acres of land can be reclaimed at a cost of four million dollars. making the land worth some sixteen million dollars. The region is very favorably situated for cultiratingand marketing garden crops. Experiments already made prove the soil and climate to beadmirably adapted to the cultivation of vegetables. The Norfolk district, where a costly system of fertilizingis necessary,. now furnishes a large part of the supply of such crops to from four to five million people along the northern coast, and the demand is certain to increase. The drainage than nels could furnish water transportation to within a mile of every part of the tilled area and thence to the sea.--J.
