The world will know who will die the Republican standard bearer in the fall campaign. One feature that makes the color of brother an independent gentleman is the fact that no negro is on either of the tickets republican or democrat. Its a white man's scramble with a possible chance of Mr. Blackman getting some crumbs. Now since it will be a white man's fight we want to say to any sensible and thinking negro voter to consider and consider well. One of the greatest blessings accorded American citizens is the privilege of exercising your manhood by the right of suffrage. It is our bounden duty to exercise that right in a way, that will be a choice of individuals or the race as a whole. Since white men have long since earned that it is not good policy to ask to what the campaign howler will answer is "principle."

It has been faithfully demonstrated to the negroes in Wyandotte county that there is absolutely nothing in looking to party, but the good we can accomplish will be by picking out men who are by past and present affiliations known to be friendly enough to accord the negro representative consideration for services rendered. You may not be satisfied with our pick for you, but we want to point you to the fact that we are seldom off in the estimation we place upon a man who seeks public honors. We have erased party lines and stepped out boldly for what we cordially believe is to the very best interest of the people in Wyandotte county. Here we have built our little castle and here we are to live. We should not ignore a man if he is a good man for the sake of party. Wyandotte county in particular and the state in general should stand by Mayor W. H. Craddock for Governor for he is the most exalted representative of the people. They should remember Hon. J. E. McFadden, the lawyer who was reared in our community in the race for county attorney. Hon. Mason Peters for Probate Court Judge. Hon. Noah Bowman theman with a backbone for congressman in the 2nd district. Next week we will tell it all. They Say I did't go down on lower Min. ave. last Tuesday—who said so?

LITERARY ITEMS The movement in the Catholic Church back to the personal Christ has found its first exemplation in a noble volume on the Life of Christ by Rev. Walter Elliott, the well-known Paulist, whose Life of Father Hecker created such a stir a year or so ago through a faulty translation into French. Elliott's Life of Christ has been out only two months, and it has already reached its third edition. While it stand for strict orthodoxy, yet it has a great deal that is new in its presentation of the various aspects of the Savior, Life and Teaching. It is issued from the Paulist Fathers' own press, at 120 West 60th Street, N.Y and has nearly a thousand line-cut engravings. The Joe Alport's Sample room at 727 Independence ave., Kansas City, Mo. is the place to go for liquid refreshments of all the liquid dealers in staid old Missouri it remained for Mr. Alport to install a Negro bartender out and out. Mr. P. W. Upshaw is the man and the selection of him is indeed commendable from the fact that he is a man that stands well in the community and knows how to treat the public so as to receive patronage and retain it. He enjoys a wide acquaintance and will beyond a doubt prove a very valuable man to his employers. Our people when anything usually kept in a first class sample room should remember this place. The passing away of ex-mayor Thos. F. Hannon in this city, the past week removes from active life a prominent figure and one among the best known men in the political world of Wyandotte county. He was the first mayor in Wyandotte that had the manhood and backbone to appoint a Negro street commissioner. He was generally liked by all the Negro citizens and the prominence of the A. P. A. organization clipped his political ascendency for he was a prominent member of the Catholic church. He has never the less fought a good fight and he will live long in the memory of the colored population of W. andotte county. TOPEKA The Western Negro Press Association met here this week at the G.

He says that it is the office of this cell to retain names. A striking case which would seem to confirm this theory recently occurred at Cleveland. A brakeman was shot by a conductor, and the former could not remember the names of persons and things, although he could perfectly well describe the functions of all articles exhibited to him. A surgeon probed for the bullet and found it in the exact spot necessary to affect the remembrance of names, according to the Austrian's theory. When the pressure of the brain had been relieved the patient remembered names as well as he had done before his injury, and told the name of his assailant.—Scientific American. --- Highest Clock in the World The clock on the Philadelphia city hall is the highest in the world. It has the largest dials. If the dials were out of the way and tracks were laid, two trains could pass each other running through the holes. The glass in the four faces is fastened there by a ton of cement. The glass, if laid on the ground, would make a walk a square long and ten feet wide. The minute hand will finish its year's journey by completing a 110-mile trip on New Year's day. It is expected that this minute hand will travel 110 miles annually for many years to come. The clock is strong, and the minute hand is phospher bronze, and weighs 260 pounds.

BEFORE USING HARTONA AFTER HER DEATH AFTER USING HARTONA AUGUST 8 1902 the Country By Education LORD KELVIN AS DAMOOLES The Great Scotch Scientist's Absolute Faith in Figures Lord Kelvin, so his friends say, used to make of himself a sort of Damocles, but it was a cannon ball instead of a sharp sword which was suspended over his head. Few living scientists have as high a reputation as Lord Kelvin, and few have to their credit more useful inventions or valuable discoveries. Though now in his seventy-eighth year the old professor, who for more than half a century occupied the chair of natural philosophy at Glasgow university, still maintains his reputation for being one of the most energetic men in Scotland. Those who know him are fond of telling of the boyish eagerness and almost incredible energy with which he attacks his work. When lecturing he used to become so absorbed and wrapped up in the experiments he was conducting that he could scarcely wait for the results. Disdainting the services of an assistant, he scurried about his lecture room like a youth of 16. Indeed the students liked to say that they never saw him cross his laboratory except at a run. The ruling passion of Lord Kelvin, who is a member of half the learned societies of Europe, and who has been decorated by the emperor of Germany, the president of France and the king of Belgium, is his absolute faith in figures, and it is this ruling passion which led to his experiment as a Damocles. When he has once solved a problem in mathematics he is willing to stake upon its correctness not only his reputation, but, if necessary, his life. Taking an immensely heavy cannon ball, he calculated with the utmost accuracy the size of the smallest wire which would bear the weight of the load of iron. He then procured a length of wire of just the requisite strength, and, to prove the truth of his figuring, had the cannon ball suspended over his lecturing platform at the very spot where it would be most likely to strike and crush him should the wire give way, and it remained there for weeks.—London Mall. MORGAN'S ONE "INTERVIEW." The Story of It, as Told by the Multimillionaire Himself. The interviewer disturbs J. Pierpoint Morgan. He makes his boast that he never has been interviewed, and declares that in the last seven years but one interviewer ever has been able to approach him. The story of this one exception he yesterday told to Bishops Potter and Doane. On a recent trip to Europe a representative of the London Times would not take no for his answer. "Tell the Times man my time is worth £10 a minute," at last said Morgan. "The Times man says he'll take two minutes at that," same back the reply. "He handed me £20," said Mr. Morgan, "taken just two minutes by both our watches, did all the talking himself, and rose to go on the instant. 'Why do you want to see me?' I asked in curiosity. 'Oh, I wagered £100 that I would interview you personally, that's all,' was his reply. I congratulated him on his enterprise and dismissed him within the third minute of his call." "Did you keep his £20?" dryly asked Bishop Potter, as Mr. Morgan ended. "Yes, and I haven't earned money in a long time that gave me the satisfaction that £20 did."-San Francisco Enumerer. brow long, straight, beautiful, soft, oldness, Itching, Eczema, and all out of the Hair and Prema- SISTIVELY STRAIGHTENS THE harmless.

Trees in Public Parks and Streets Were Torn up By the Roots-The Property Destruction Was Very Baltimore—A fierce tornado characterized by a windstorm of extraordinary velocity, thunder, vivid lightning and a heavy rain suddenly burst upon lautimore at 1:20 p. m. Sunday, coming from the southwest, with the net result that eleven persons lost their lives, hundreds of houses were unroofed, trees in the public parks and streets were torn up by the roots, many buildings damaged and several people injured. The storm exhausted its fury in less than fifteen minutes. The damage done in the business part of the city was comparatively slight, being confined to the blowing down of signs and injuries to roofs. It was in the residence portion of the city, along the river front and in the harbor where the wind spent its violence. Of those who perishel, nine were drowned in the harbor from open boats, one was killed by a falling tree and one by a live wire. The following is a list of the killed: Drowned in the harbor: Ray Bateman, 12 years old. Joseph Cain, 10 years old. John Cain, 6 years old. Thomas Carroll, 21 years old. Harry McCormick, 19 years old. Mary Mrs Schuler, 28 years old. Harry S. Schuler, 10 months old. Charles Schuler, 7 years old. Ilive Schuler, 7 years old. Killed by falling tree : Wilhelm captured colored. Killed by live wire : Charles Schaefer. The first three victims on the above list were out in a rowboat on the river with three other companions. When the storm broke, captured three being drowned and three being rescued by the tugboat Edna V George. The boy struck by a live wire had, in company with two other boys, gone into a shed for protection when the shelf blew down and a live wire fell on one of them, resulting in his death. The drowning of Mrs. Schuler and her children was the most pathetic incident of the hurricane. Michael Schuler, with his wife and three children, accompanied by his brother-in-law Joseph Cooper, and wife, had gone out into the harbor for a sail in a thirty-foot boat. When the storm came, Schuler and Cooper took in sails. Schuler sent his wife and children into the little cabin, and he stood at the tiller to keep the vessel's head toward the wind. A sudden gust of wind throw the boom of the vessel around, knocking Schuler down and pinned him to the deck. Another gust capsized the boat, releasing Schuler, who, with Cooper and his wife, were thrown into the water, leaving Mrs. Schuler and her children pinned in the cabin. Cooper saved himself and his wife by hanging to the bottom of the overturned boat, and Schuler saved himself in the same way, after making frantic efforts to get at his imprisoned wife and children. A crew from the schooner Edward H. Hunt rescued Schuler and Cooper and wife, and towed the capsized vessel to the wharf, where it was righted and the dead bodies of Mrs. Schuler and her three children taken from the cabin. Thomas Carroll, with four other young men, were out in the harbor in a rowboat, which was capsized. Carroll was drowned, while his four companions clung to the rudder of the Merchants and Miners' steamship Chatham, from which perilous position they were rescued by the tug Mary. A colored camp meeting was in progress in Paradise Grove, near Powhatan, on the Liberty road. The congregation had just been dismissed when the storm broke. A huge tree fell upon the tent in which the services had been held, the general of the worshipers were caught beneath it as it fell. The tree had to be sawed in pieces before the imprisoned men and women were released. William Cornish was crushed to death by the falling tree. The others were not seriously hurt. A hole several feet in diameter was blewn in the wall of St. Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic church in South Baltimore. A portion of the stone cornice weighing more than a ton fell to the street. Fortunately no one was injured by the falling stone and brick. The damage to the church is estimated at $7,000. While the storm was at its height a boat drown from the German steamer Breslau, at anchor in the harbor, picked up two men from a boat which had capsized off Wolf street. Washington.—The acting commissioner of internal revenue was issued instructions covering artificial tests for coloring matter in oleoargentine. Detailed directions are given for making it to discover the coloring matter principally used in coloring oleoargentine. The circular test. "If a sample gives negative results by both tests above described, it may be safely concluded that it is free from artificial coloration. If it responds to either test or if there is any doubt as to the results obtained, the sample should be forwarded to this office for analysis." Rev. J. J. Purcell, arrested and dined for being drunk and disorderly in St. Louis, Saturday, is well known in Parsons. He was rector of the Episcopal church there. His escapade in St Louis is in keeping with his record in Parsons. He was given charge of a church in Emporia by Bishop Mispaugh after his trouble at Parsons. About two years ago his wife secured a divorce and custody of their four children, on the grounds of intoxication and cruelty. Mr. Purcell was in Parsons a few days ago on his way East on his annual vacation. The skull, thigh bones and a few pieces of clanging skin, the only remains of William York, a weathier farmer living three miles southwest of King City. Mo., were found in a hog lot Sunday by the man's relatives. Mr. York disappeared from the home of his son-in-law, Joseph Dawes, last Monday, and was thought to be visiting a daughter. He was 85 years old and very feeble. It is supposed that he fell in a fit from heart failure and was eaten up by the hogs. Partly devoured bones were found scattered over the thickly wooded hog lot. SOLDIERS IN A RIOT. They Made Things Lively!: Leavenworth Worth Saturday Night Leavenworth, Kas.—The stabbing of Loucks, a soldier of the Sixth Infantry, by John Graham, a negro. Saturday morning, led to an attack by a mob of soldiers on the Main street Saturday night. This was Graham's' hanging-out place, and Loucks is said to have been there shortly before he was stabbed. Several soldiers, members of Loucks' company, went to the resort at 9:30 o'clock Saturday night, and demolished everything about the place before the officers could arrive. Six officers were Buried in the scene, and they succeeded in placing several soldiers under arrest after chubbing them. Many shots were fired by the officers, but nobody was hit. The soldiers claim the house was responsible for Loucks' being stabbed, and they still declare that they will wipe it off the face of the earth. Serious trouble is looked for in case Loucks should die, as the soldiers declare they will lynch Graham. The excitement broke out freshly at 11:30 o'clock Saturday night, when soldiers set fire to the house at 310 Main street. A bucket of coal oil was thrown through a kitchen door and a match quickly ignited it. Two policemen put the fire out before the fire department arrived. Thousands of people hurried to the scene. The city is rapidly filling with soldiers from the fort, and they are declaring that the building must be wiped out of existence. The co-op building officer at Fort Eavenworth has been appealed to, but it will be difficult for him to get the men out of the city before Monday morning. Shortly after midnight Saturday twenty-five shots were exchanged by soldiers and policemen in the vicinity of the house at 310 Main street, but nobody was hurt. One soldier was arrested. He had a Colt's revolver, which he had emptied. Special policemen he were sworn in and Chief Cranston fears that there will be bloodshed before the trouble ends. After the shooting at midnight he ordered the saloons closed. Thousands of people throng the streets, and they never has been a time in the history of the city when excitement was so intense. No help has arrived from Fort Leavenworth. Several hundred soldiers are in the city, but only a few of the rougher element are taking part in the disturbance. The colored people are said to be arming themselves against the soldiers. Few of the soldiers have guns. A soldier whose name could not be learned was found unconscious in the railroad yards after midnight Saturday. He had been struck with a club. His skull is probably fractured. Another soldier was found with a dislocated shoulder. The soldiers claim the police are brutal and there may be trouble on this score. A company of the Fourth cavalry arrived from Fort Leavenworth at 2 a.m. to round up the shoulders about town and take them back to the fort. Loucks is a barber in the Sixth infantry and Saturday he received his pay. Graham, the negro, evidently knew of this, for he wailed Loucks near the Missouri Pacific depot and demanded his money. Upon Loucks' refusal Graham drew a knife and slashed Loucks across the abdomen, inflicting a very serious and possibly fatal wound. Loucks is now in the Post hospital. Graham fled after the cutting but was arrested. Graham was taken to Kansas City, Kas, at midnight Saturday for surrender. He was immediately secreted by the officials, who refused to divulge his whereabouts. There are about 100 soldiers in the citymfw yshrd shl cau soldiers in Kansas City, Kas, who drifted down there to spend their wages. It was not known that Graham had been taken down there and there was evidently no danger of the soldiers making any demonstration against the prisoner, but the authorities are determined to take no chances. Sunday Base Ball. Nebraska Icty, Neb.—There was a riot at the baseball ground Sunday afternoon when the Law and Order League attempted to prevent the game. The warrant sworn out by members of the league was placed in the hands of Sheriff Brower for the arrest of the two teams. When he arrived on the grounds an angry crowd surrounded and hustled him violently. Hisravel was taken away from him. He succeeded in arresting four players and took them to the justice's office, where they were placed under bonds. A number of city pastors were at the justice's office, and they left friends of the players threatened and A rock was thrown at Rev. C. M. Sheppard, of the Methodist church, striking a companion and knocking him down. Mr. Sheppard was chased to his home. Late, alleging that his life had been threatened and the church property was in danger. Mr. Sheppard applied to the mayor for a police guard for himself and the church property, and it was promised. Sunday's outbreak is the outcome of a long and bitter fight between the Law and Order League and friends of Sunday baseball. Sunday the question was put to a vote of citizens, and there was practically a unanimous vote for Sunday ball. Members of the league, however, refused to participate in the election. John Murphy and John Brannad, employees of the Lorain Steel Company, were killed by noxious gases while working at the top of the company's furnaces at Lorain, O.

Holbein, preparatory to an attempt to swim the English channel, which he unsuccessfully tried to do a year ago, essayed to swim from Dover to Ram's Gate, but, owing to the strong tide, heavy sea and head wind, he was compelled to abandon the attempt within within four miles of Ram's Gate. He was immersed four and three-quarter hours, during which time he swam eighteen miles. The manager came before the curtain with his I-deeply-regret-to-state face on, and said to the waiting throng: "I shall have to ask the indulgence of the audience a few minutes while Madam Primidon recovers the use of her vocal chords, which were severely strained just now by yawning oar some verses that were sent to her by an admirer." Don't be a thoroughbred. A thoroughbred is well enough in cattle and hogs, but very disgusting among men, for the reason that among a thoroughbred means a man who devotes too much time to having fun, to being a good fellow. Makes a speciality of reliability, industry, fairness. Make your specialty a worthy one. Instead of seeing how late you can stay out at night go to bed at regular hours. Sleep will do you more good than a good time. There is no better man than the good citizen, the good husband, the good father, the good son. A thoroughbred is never noted in these directions. By direction of the secretary of the treasury, warrants covering the salaries of the commissioners of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, at St. Louis, and other government employees will be issued at once.

The town is without fire protection. Carl Benz and Charles Kastner each owned a business lot in Salina. The lots adjoined. The two men decided to build two business houses on the lots and run a stairway up between them, to be used jointly by each building. The buildings were erected as per agreement.

The water and gas companies wanted to use the new city bridge, but the council refused the request and ordered them to arrange with the street car company at once to repair the other bridge. In the consolidation of the Grand Army posts throughout the state, the Kansas G. A. R. department will adopt the "outpost" plan. That is, an outpost will be established to take the place of the abandoned post. This plan has been authorized by the National G. A. R. The provision follows: Where a sufficient number of non-resident members are in any locality they may be organized as an "outpost" to be designated as "Outpost No. — of post No. — department of —" Each outpost may annually elect from its own members a sergeant to preside at meetings. Such meetings may be held at the home of any comrade, at the convenience of the members. The application of any person for non-resident membership in an outpost shall be passed upon by the parent post, and the post commander may in person or by a suitable detail must in such applicant, and for such purpose may at his option administer only the obligation of membership. One outpost has been established in Kansas already—at Fairview—and it is growing in membership. It is believed that the coupling of posts and the development of the outpost system will increase interest in the G. A. R. and result in an increase in membership. The St. Louis exposition directors have signed a contract with the government that the exposition shall be closed up tight in all departments on Sunday. Mrs. Greene—Miss Black and that Brown girl made themselves ridiculously prominent at the musical last night. It was positively scandalous! Mrs. White—For mercy's sake, what did they do?

Gillett, a merchant of Woodbine, has filed a petition of voluntary bankruptcy with Referee Milliken at Saline. His failure is said to be due to the operations of his brother, Grant Gillett, in which he became involved. "Kitchener's address of thanks to the plaudits of the admiring populace," says the Leavenworth Times, "was as direct and short as Cy. Leeland's when he was elected chairman of the state convention at Wichita eight years ago. Eoth said: 'I thank you.'" The dedication of the new Catholic church at Salina will take place Wednesday, July 23. Bishop Cunningham, of Concordia, will conduct the services.

K. & T. was built, the switch yards have been near the center of Parsons. Several deaths and accidents have occurred in consequence of the almost continual moving of trains back and forth over street crossings. The road has now decided to move its yards beyond the north limits of the city and will purchase land for that purpose as soon as the required acreage can be determined. The survey has been begun and it is estimated that nearly 100 acres will be required. The drug store of Fred Haussler near the Santa Fe depot, Emporia, has been raided.

The case of Justus Smith, charged with intoxication June 14, 1865, was only disposed of the other day, thirty-seven years late, in a New York City court. The papers were only then found, and who Justus Smith was, and where he is, or where the policeman who made the arrest is—if indeed eliciter of them are alive—may never be known. Justice Hogan, however, who indorsed the charge, is living, and thinks it a relic of the days when returning soldiers were often arrested for their protection, without any purpose of prosecuting the charge. The comptroller of the currency has approved the Union National bank, of Kansas City, as a reserve agent for the First National bank, of Okmulgee, L. T. Several deaths from cholera have occurred in Poking. The dowager empress is alarmed and has kept the court physicians busy preparing remedies. The disease is increasing, especially among the Chinese soldiers here and at Pooing-Fu. Reports from various parts of the empire show that the epidemic is steadily spreading inland from the coast. UNCLE BILL AND The Editor EDGAR BAKER "W HEN the social order uv Elks git up a carnival, yer can put it down that there's sometime down. Bill as he hopped into the editor's office with his Sunday suit and high hat on. And as he handed the editor a cigar, remaked "I got a hull pockeful uv these cigars with a maul. I rather liked the scheme, as it put me in mind uv drinv' fence posts back East. All I had ter do was ter put up a nickle an whack away, an' the feler what was runnin' the machine would hand me cigars. I've ben smokin' uv 'em fur several days, an' am still alive, so yer better light up." The editor light the cigar, took a few whiffs, leaned back in his chair with his hands locked being his head, and as he did so a book of suspicion overspread "Uncle Bill, I have always had a great deal of confidence in you, but this cigar smells like a piece of musty rope. Are you sure that you were at the Elks' carnival? This cigar is more suggestive of a hanging match." "Oh, I was at the carnival, all right, but every one was sort uv strung up a bit, I guess, the way they acted. My stars, it was a fright. But I must tell yer 'bout the fixins they had. First uv all, the city was decorated in a style and manner what beat eny thing I've ever seen. Merchants had vided with each other in electrical decoration, 'an the Elks had decorated the streets fun blocks, with fine archways, which shone in the night with brilliant illuminations. Then the big shows that was there heat al street carnival shows ever brought the West; an' as I was standing on a street corner a feller from Chicago stepped up an' said: 'Davenport is a regular young Chicago, aln' it? 'I put my hand down ter my pocket and shied away from him, 'cause he had all the symtoms uv hein' a 'con man, an' a 'con man' is a good thing ter get away and shied away from a fellow as a pitbull burn with some of his hot air bulbs; an' when anyone gets ter handing' yer eny bulbs, yer either wants ter git away or else git on the exchange lst right off for it'll cost yer like thunder if yer don't." "What do you mean by exchange list?" asked the editor. "It's like this, a hot air artist came up to me an' ask if my name wasn't 'Cy Gusher from up state, an' I said: Yes, I guess it be, but yer've got the best uv me' cause I never see yer 'round Shake Rag." Then he said: Cy, gosh durn it. I'm glad ter see yer; how's all the shake in Shake Rag? Don't remember me, ch? Why, my name is Nate Grip; used ter we there. how's all the shake in Shake Rag? Gee whizz, Nate, yer jest the feller I wanted ter meet. Can't yer lend me $10 I've had my pockets picked, Wall, str, yer ought ter uv seen that feller's jaw drop. He haw'd and haw'd, an' finally said he'd left his' down at the hotel an' he'd go down an' git me $10; but he didn't come back, 'cause I exchanged hot air with him at the proper time. But I must draw a beetle closer ter the carnival. They had everything from a snake-eater ter a genuinely ter a snake-eater. The blake'd leave anything out, not even the 'crooks,' for the police took care uv them, and 'seen that they didn't want fur anything only a chance. They had the smallest woman an' serval of the biggest liars on earth." "It takes a great variety to make up a successful street carnival," remarked the editor. "Wall, they had it up it there, all right," replied Uncle Bill, "everything a feller could thing uv, an' then some." "What was the most interesting sight there?" asked the editor. "The street illuminations at night was 'bout the slickest thing in the way uv scrumptiousness that was there. They they had Speedy, the high diver, He'd dive off uv a 90-foot ladder an land head foremost in a tub four foot deep an 'splash 'round like a 10-year-old boy in swimming. The only trouble was a feller would have ter stand an land head for a keen jacket' up while a hull lotuv awn allects a world-old rubber; while some great big girl 'bout 33 years old would hit yer 'longside uv the face with a ball that was tied ter a rubber string; an' when that was done a feller was ready ter go an' patronize the wild girl side show. cause he was ready ter believe that some on 'em was really wild. An' when a girl is wild, she is either idiotic or acts that way, leas is presumed that many side shows were on hand, as is usual at such carnivals." said the editor. "Yes, they had side shows an' inside shows, where yer can see the hoof yer coot yer dance, with the al-la-le-song, fur a bracer. It sounded like all in the alley, but about the most interstitin' show was the German village, in a song, "Sally In the Alley" that was a-slingin' lighted cigar in his mouston, an' it sounded an' looked as though he was a tryrian smoke poor Sally out uv the alley. Then they had the Trylonian warblers, that made a noise like pourin' water out uv the bunghole uv a barrel—a sort uv a google-google sound that suggestes the country store was more beer. The country store was more beer. The Elks were storekeeper; an' the way they sold goods was a surprise ter Ned Lee, the man what runs the mission in Davenport. And one-half uv the proceeds went for that good institution. "People as a general rule will patronize where the alm is to help the unfortunate." "Everyone that went to the carnival, went to see the trained animals, others went to see the 'girl from up there, some went tert the crystal maize, where they got lost a lookin' at themselves; comin' down Second street I heard a feller say, 'Have you seen her?' Have you seen her?' big crowd around him, an, I thought some one was lost, so I asked who was lost, an' what she looked like; and he said: 'Pass up here, ole man, an' I tell yer all about it.' An' when I got up on the platform, he said, '10 cents, please, look.' Wall I shelled out—that's all I need to look at, an' a carnival—is ter keep a-shellin' on, an', well, I see a Sheetland pony coot in a cur dog. That's what a feller gits fur bein' curious," said U仑 Blll. "You must have taken it all in, judging from the way you are posted," said the editor. "I go anywhere. I go tare take in what's ter be seen seen an. Then I don't have any kick ter kick an. Then people that go an' never take nothin' in." what kicks," remarked Uncle Bill as he made a break for the door and said: "There goes an Elk. I wonder if he kicks that it's five minutes ter eleven?" WAR OFFICE LEAKS Information Can Get Out Without General Miles' Intervention. Philadelphia Times: There is perhaps, no country in the world where war office secrets are less secret than in the United States. The recent revelations made in the senate by Senator Culberson is proof of this, and when the system in vogue in the war department is taken into consideration there seems little doubt but what Gen. Miles knows nothing of the scheme whereby secrets regarding certain affairs in the Philipines were made public. One thing which is more in evidence than anything else is the fact that Brent Roosevelt, Secretary of War Roosevelt, Adjutant General Corbin did not want to let the public know anything of the scandals and cruelties practiced in the Philipines. The case in point is that of Lieutenant Arnold of the Fourth cavalry who is charged by Private Weir and other enlisted men, with extreme cruelty. The victims were Filipinos. The papers in the case were forwarded from the Philippines. If the army regulations were carried out as prescribed, general of the Chaffee, at commanding general of the division of the Philippines, should forward the papers to the adjutant general. Perhaps they were sent to the president or the secretary of war. At any rate, they did reach the war department. Again, the regulations were observed, the papers were in the hands of those in charge of the office of the secretary of war or the adjutant general's office. It is fair to presume, according to one who has a knolewedge of affairs in the war department, that the papers be forwarded in record in the office of the adjutant general. All official papers which reach the adjutant general's office, through military channels, or otherwise, are briefed, indexed by a card system and a record card made out setting out briefly the purport of the case, together with true copies of all action, letters, indulences, etc. So carefully is his record card compiled that the loss of all the documents in the case would cause in convenience so long as the card—all are consecutively numbered—remained on file. As a matter of fact, in many cases the original papers are lost or returned, and the only record the department has is this card. The work of recording these cards and making the cross indexes, as well as recording action, letters, telegrams, etc., is done in what is known as the mail and record division of the adjutant general's office. Here, too, comes all mail addressed to the adjutant general. For this reason it is fair to presume that the papers in the Arnold case on at least the card—were on record in the adjutant general's office. Therefore, every clerk in the mail and record division, of which Charles M. Brandt, a civil war veteran, is chief, has access to the history of the case. Clerks of the department also could get the papers, make copies and never be discovered. Most of the male clerks in the war department are ex-soldiers, and many of them are very improvident. It is a matter of record that Washington, as well as newspapers of other cities, often get news not intended for the public, and it is presumed that Senator Culberson got his information in somewhat the same way. It is a very simple matter for a clerk to give out information not intended for the public and yet be perfectly safe from detection. One way is for the clerks known as "brifers," whose duty it is to place on the record card, above referred to, to make a copy of the charge—taking, for illustration, the Arnold case. This can be done easily and without deception. The paper and card are then sent to be stamped, giving another clerk, besides the chief of the room, an opportunity to make a copy of the case. The paper is then disposed of, then go to the division to which they pertain or to one of the adjutant generals or to the secretary Clerks in these offices, or even the messengers, have a chance to make copies. At no time, however, does the paper get to the lieutenant general commanding the army, unless referred to him through proper military channels. It can be seen that the system of records is very simple, and that it is also quite easy for secrets to leak out. A former employee of the war department said that clerks, in "talking shop" offices, secrets, although discussing department outside of the office is expressly forbidden. "It is a simple matter," he said, "to learn department secrets. When I was a clerk, I was only one of a humper or more who knew things that the department wanted kept quiet, and while I never told any, I knew plenty who did. So far as General Miles is concerned, it would be impossible for him to get any papers without a dozen nephe knowing it." PROFESSIONAL PRAYER The Odd Business of an Old Negress in New Orleans. New Orleans Times-Democrat in one of the more unique quarters of New Orleans I have found one of the most unique characters I ever saw, an old negro washerwoman," said a man who has lately taken up his residence in one of the more popular avenues of the city, "and she seems to be proceeding along original lines in the main purpose of her life. Washing clothes seems to be a mere incident to the general plan she carries out. She is an interesting old character, and can quote copiously the Bible. This seems to be a bolt with which she has no attraction to_put on every line she quotes too. She can tell you just exactly what it means from her way of looking at it. But this not the point I had in mind. "Several days ago I got into conversation with the old woman, and she asked me if I didn't have some family washing to give her. I told her I did not, but encouraged the conversation as I have a fondness for the name of the ante-bellum type, finder always very interesting. She really threw a quotation from the little at me, and it was followed by another and another, and so on. Say, lay, she said after a while, "does you ever have anybody to do any prayin' for you?" I told her I did not, and, becoming more interested in the old woman, I got her to unfold her whole scheme to me. She did it without any sort of hesitation. "She is a spiritual prayer, and makes no small sum out of it from what she told me. She told me she was praying once a week for the lady next door, who had employed her to pray for her husband to drink, although he is a very tight drinker, to my own knowledge. The old woman to me is very proud of her calling, and whatever other people may say about it she is an enthusiastic believer in the efficacy of her own prayers."

A Very Bad Case of Rupture Cured in three Weeks. McPherson, Kans, June 8, 1890. I had a very bad case of rupture for years, and suffered a great agony.

A boy says, "I haven't had no time to get my lesson." His language may be objectionable, but his meaning is undoubted. The teacher understands it as he intends her to understand it; but she has heard that two negatives make an affirmative and she retorts: "Ah, you mean that you have had some time! You have said the opposite of what you mean." The laugh is on the boy; if he can be augured out of his double negative, so much the better. Yet the teacher is wrong. The two negatives in his sentence do not make an affirmative, for they are neither so meant nor are they so taken by the hearer, according to a very old English idiom, one negative strengthens another. The idiom has caused to be good English, but it has changed its meaning. The boy is in fault because he is using an oblique idiom which has become vulgar, not because his language means the opposite of what it was meant to express—George Lyman Kittredge, in Harper's Magazine for July.

Novel Manner of Photographing Burlington Flyer. A Burlington locomotive has joined the great army of amateur photographers. It has deliberately taken its own picture, securing a better one than other photographers who had so persistently tried to attain the same result. After many fertile attempts to obtain a picture of the Burlington Flyer, the photographer arranged a machine, simple yet efficient, which enabled the speedy train to take its own photograph. This result was accomplished near Aurora, IL. The device comprised an electric switch, which, when connected to the rail, closed the circuit on being struck by the engine. The switch communicated through a metallic circuit to a set of dry cells, and thence to a shutter release. The shutter release was in itself a complicated machine. CAMPING CAR BUS BUS BUS The camera was set up and focused on the track, good judgment being used as to the length of the train, and the switch put in place about six feet behind the spot where the front of the engine should appear on the plate (this six feet being allowed on account of the train moving that distance during the interval occupied by the electricity traveling the complete circuit and releasing the shutter). One with little knowledge of electricity can readily see that when the engine strikes the switch it closes the circuit and instantly the electricity communicates with the high speed shutter, and the picture is correctly registered on the center of the plate. Thus the Burlington Flyer took a picture of itself while running at full speed. "No, Johnny," that grandmother ticket won't work this time; and Pill tell you right now, if you ever nope to rise in the wld, like I have, remember that the truth in all matters is the essential foundation of success.

The corsage is made with box pleats, the dollar, cuff and belt being of all over embroidery. Fashion Notes from Paris. WHITE LINEN GOLF COSTUME. The waist of this novelty shows a very pretty embroidered front effect, with tucking on the snouters. skirt is made with stitched tucks and box pleat effect, stitching forming the yoke. The collar is edged black, a black tie and belt being worn. Paris letter: Among the striking innovations of the season is the advent of short skirts at the races. Many of the most smartly dressed women are wearing skirts of ankle length or a tride longer, made the same all around. They are cut and hang with infinite particularity and finished with the popular shaped flounce. The short skirt has in no way displaced the short skirt, but it has demonstrated its right to acceptance by even the smartest dressers. Many costumes de sport are made with a view to being worn as short walking suits. These meet all the demand for a dress which can be worn with equal appropriateness for mountaineering, golfing, automobiling, bicycling or at the races. Quite a favorite material for these gowns is Irish frieze in the oatmeal shade. A favorite cut for the skirt is quite plain with a decided swirl from the knees down. The seams are over-laid with cloth of the same color, stitched down. The coat of a new cycling costume is a trim little affair in basque effect behind, with a narrow belt above, passing under the loose fronts. A small reversible coat with modest brown velvet. One side of the coat is finished off with gold buttons with gold loops fastened over on the other. Bands of stitched cloth around the cuffs finish the sleeves. Another garment for the wheel is in red serge. The top of the skirt is made with a yoke. From this depends the lower part which is made in small tucks, extending to the knee. The coat has a spade front, under which passes a belt of red velvet, the revers being faced in black and white checked satin. Pantaloon of either alpaca, surah or de sinte dhine are adjuncts of both these costumes. Yachting costumes are generally made in duck, pique or linen, those for such affairs as the Henley regatta and other important events being generally of the more dressy materials. A chic yachting suit illustrated is of navy blue French canvas over taffeta of the same color. The skirt is in nine gores, trimmed with blas bands of taffeta. Under the bands the silk is in gauged. The coat and boose with turner collar are trimmed with silk. The loose sleeve is finished with turn-back cuff trimmed with silk. A Yedo straw hat with blue trimming and a white veil are worn with this suit. Another yachting costume sketched is in white flannel with a sailor collar. The skirt is trimmed with red silk bands and appliqué ornaments. The tie is of red silk. The vest is of white flannel stitched with red. A full piece is let into the sleeve and red buttons are stitched with red ornaments of stitched flannel and red buttons. The corresponding hat is of white Tuscan braid trimmed with red velvet. A yachting suit in Turkey red, made with Louis IV. jacket and trimmed with heavy white braid made for one of England's sporting ducheses has been admired. A blue jacket boating costume is in blue alpaca dotted with white. It is made with a plain skirt, the jacket having long flaps in the back. The revers in front are faced with coarse-grained white pique. The jacket opens over a vest of dotted muslin and the stiff white linen collar finished off with a sailor's tie of blue and white. The golf costume illustrated is of white linen. The waist is tucked on a white shirt. The jacket the skirt being drawn with stitched tucks. A boxplait effect with stitching forms the voke, and the collar is edged with black, tie and belt being in the same color. The golf skirt shown is of lightweight plaid cloth and is worn with a white linen shirt waist, tucked from the shoulder in one inch tucks. Ordinary gowns of serge, cloth, linen and foulard, for general morning wear for walking and for golf, are made with the short skirt varying in length to suit the purpose for which they are intended. For all dressy, gowns the long skirt, of course, prevails, but there are some very smart gowns of checked taffeta silk made with plaited skirt just touching the ground. They may be made with side tucks or boxplats, widening GOLF SKIRT GOWN. This pretty effect is of light weight plaid cloth. It is worn with a white linen shirtwaist, tucked from the shoulders in one-inch tucks. toward the hem, with blouse to match, but the trimming must be absolutely of its own material with a possible touch of silk braid or stitched band in contrasting color in the finish of the bodice. Some of these dainty frocks are simplicity itself. One dainty effect is covered with pale blue forget-me-nots, the skirt being trimmed with four bands of black velvet ribbon. The waist is a tucked yoke crossed with bands of lace applique and the lace cape which edges it is threaded with black velvet ribbon, caught at the front with buckles of blue threading through the lace cuffs and a black velvet belt is worn. The hat is of massed forget-me-nots with these blue chrysanthemums at the front. Another is strenued with vollets and trimmed with ecu rulce, which is used for the yoke and is put on in two bands of insertion on the skirt. The sash is of deep velot velvet with lines of vollet on the cuffs. A white rose hat is worn with high waist velvet bow on the crown in Barr. The velvet gracefully draped about the brim. I illustrate a lovely new travel costume of sage green linen with thread of lighter color forming a plaid. The skirt is made with a yoke and the front of the skirt in one piece. There are two stitched bands below this and a circular ruffle. The corsage is made with plaits, the sailor collar, belt and being of all over embroidery. The accompaniment is a green tatin straw with green trimming. Was Not a Flyer. William Gillette, the great impersonator of Sherlock Holmes, once hired a yacht. As he describes it, it was a craft with out a rival in slow progression. With a few friends he set sail and proceeded upon a cruise. They kept close to the shore, and a week or two after they had left port were drifting lazily by a point of land, at the end of which sat a solitary man fishing. In a few hours the boat had passed the point, and the fisherman was seen to rouse himself from his contemplation of his rod. "Where ye from?" he called genially. "New York," replied Gillette, with a yearman's pride. "How long?" "Sunday, Aug. 1." The fisherman returned to his fishing and the yacht kept on drifting. Some hours latter there came a drawing voice over the quiet water, and it asked: Oh, she was the belle of her toney set, a winsome and ravishing young brunette, with a pair of eyes that could read your thoughts and tie your affections all into knots. There wasn't a fellow on Big Bug street but had laid hasnt at her at shapely feet, and she kept them guessing, those hearts a alump, which way the kitten would shuffle. But one there was, he a scheming chap, he would be a game an entrapting tint in the shape of an auto, a rig and horse that skinned over the ground by electric force, and round her waist his arm like a noise when they saw the couple one balmy forth like a streak for a country ride, the man who bore the pride, and his rivals muttered in worst of moods: 'Our name is Dennis! He's got the good!' And on o'er country roads they went. In high-grade rapture spinning. Both in a dream of sweet content Spsmodically grinning. She touched and they talked of that, she through her bonnet, he through his hat, he whispered lies of the genus white, she swallowing them in her new delight. Upon the lever her hand he placed to guide the auto, and round her waist his arm like a moseley-sepent crawled and closer to him her arm was snuffed. He breathed in her ears the wormy tassos to the dickey birds, and she responded in tones so sweet each sugared sentence seemed good to cat. He'd won the prize, and his soul was filled with joy till the foam o'er the edges spilled, and she was happy to think she'd brought an ant, and the jay-birds chattered and rustic cows bawled hoarse hoo-raws to their fresh-scaled vows. And on they sped of their sense bereft, So tightly did Cupid bind 'em. That are they knew it the town was left Some seventeen miles behind 'em. Then the clouds came up and the rain came down and sprinkled its tears on her new spring gown, then changed her dress to fall sheed and it road was a channel of shush and mud, and the auto, stopped in rebellious mood—like a balky mule in the road- way stood. And there they sat in that worst of storms, with no umbrella to shield their forms, and they got as soaked on their auto perch as a new convert in the Baptist church, and their dress to fall sheed, and it it grew impassive as cold fred mush. "Twas full two miles to a railway town, and with scowling features he helped her down and off they trudged through the muddy lane in the pitties pour of the blasted rain, her eyes all chafed with the tears she shed his lips cal- led, and she was learning learned at the station with souls aghast that the last damned train for the day had passed. And his rivals chattered with merry lip And approaching her with new en- deavor. For the language used on that soggy trip Queered him with her forever. THE BIG BAND LEADER Mr. Lincoln's Remark to 300-Pound Musician. Gen. I. C. Abbott in Washington Post: On the 19th day of May, 1861, the First Michigan three months' volunteer infantry arrived in the city of Washington, and on the 22d it was reviewed by President Lincoln near the White House, and at 8 o'clock in the evening the field and staff, the line officers, and the regiment band, led by the colonel, O. B. Willecox, now major general, United States army, retired. called upon Lieut.-Gen. Winfield Scott at the war department. The band played "Hall to the Chief," and, after grasping the hand of the old veteran, the party marched over to the White House with the band playing "America." There the party was escorted to the East room. The president soon came in, and all were introduced. The president shook the members of the earl. After greeting the members of the band, the president walked up to the leader, whose avoldupois was about 300 pounds, and whose height was about 5 feet 6 inches. "Sir," said the president to him, "you are the biggest blower I ever saw." This evoked a cheer, and the drum major ordered the band into position. The band struck up "Yankee Doodle," his company passed out and to quarters. ECCLESIASTICAL HEADGEAR. Lord Rosebery's Unfavorable Opinion of the Bishon's Hat. London News: A story is being told of which Lord Rosebery is the alleged subject. On one occasion he went into a large Oxford street establishment to purchase a new hat and, while he stood bare-headed waiting to be fitted, a bishop entered on the same errand and mistook the Earl for one of the shop assistants. Have you a hat like this?" he asked, showing his own extraordinary headgear. Lord Rosebery took it from him and examined it critically before he answered. "No," he replied at length; "I haven't got a hat like that, and if I had I wouldn't wear it!" Atmosphere in Tabloids By a French chemist is claimed the invention of a method of compressing sea air into tabloids. Those, therefore, who wish for a change of air will in future only have to go to the nearest chemists and buy a bottle of Margate tabloids or half a dozen Riviera pastilles. So long as the drugs are properly dispensed the invention will be welcome. It would be unpleasant to ask for Bournemouth pastilles and to receive instead the Cologne (not the can de Cologne) variety. The latter form has 79 distinct smells. Smallest of Vertebrates. In the Philippines is to be found the smallest vertebra animal in the world.

Undesirable consulships have long given rise to humorous incidents. But Zanzibar, to which the President has appointed Mason Mitchell, a rough rider, seems to be in the lead in an attractiveness, if the length of consultual terms proves any test, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. Indiana has usually claimed the honor of furnishing candidates for this place, but after the resignation of a man named Rogers of Shoales, the Indiana senators notified the President that they were through with it. They had constituents who were willing to take chances, but the senators were not prepared to promise that these turesome individuals would stay more than a month. Before Rogers took the place it was held for nearly a year by "Bob" Mansfield, at one time privately to Senator Beveridge and now consult at Valparaiso. Mansfield came back, according to Indians descriptions, "as thin as a toothpick and as yellow as June butter." He said he had stuck it out as long as the insurance company would let him and that he returned to save his premiums. Before Mansfield, there was an Indianian named Billheimer, described as a husky Hoosier, with a large nose and frame pickled in malaria. He was cured of diplomatic ambition in about two months, and has never asked for a place since Before Billheimer, Judge Riley of Virginia served; he remained as long as his aversion to the negroes would permit. Finally, he is said to have taken a gun and emptied a load of fine birdshot into the dusky natives who persisted in taking a daily bath in front of the American consulate which, the Judge "allowed," was an indignity to be resented by this government's representative. HE LIKES FRIED POTATOES. Grand Duke Alexis Has a Favorite Dish. So They Say. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is very fond of fried potatoes, and during his recent visit to Paris he was wont to buy a few every day from a woman in the street and to eat them beside her stall. The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very anxious to find out who he was. "I can tell you who he is," said a neighbor one day. "He is Grand Duke Alexis, uncle of the czar and one of the greatest men in Russia." Utterly ahazed, the woman asked: "In heaven's name, how should I address him?" "Oh, call him 'Your Excellency', or 'Your Royal Highness,' was the answer. The woman resolved to do so, and the next day, as she was sprinkling some salt over the smoking potatoes which the grand duke had bought, she said: "I can recommend them to your royal highness, for I know your excellency has never tasted better potatoes." The grand duke burst out laughing, and paid more for the potatoes than he had ever paid before, but he was annoyed at finding himself recognized and never returned to buy another potato. Girard Was Considerate. One of the sea captains in the employ of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee's fondness for whittling with his jackknife, and on one trip succeeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistic sense, he really regarded the rail as greatly improved in appearance. When the vessel came to Philadelphia Girard went aboard, made a general inspection in the captain's absence, and, as he was about to return to shore, asked one of the seamen who had been cutting the rail. The seaman told him the captain, and then, afraid his telling might have unpleasant consequences were the captain to learn of it in a roundabout way, informed that official of the interview with Girard. The captain was in terror of a reprimand, but, hearing nothing from his employer, supposed the incident closed. As he was about weighing anchor ready to leave port, a dray loaded with shingles drove down to the wharf, and the driver halted the vessel. "There must be some mistake! shouted the captain, "Our biff of lading doesn't mention shingles!" "This is where they belong!" sung back the driver. "Mr. Girard, himself, told me to deliver them! He said they're for the captain to whittle!" Gillette a Real Sherlock Holmes. William Gillette, whose impersonation of Sherlock Holmes has become so famous, has acquired much of theunning of the character he portrays, and on being interviewed by the newspaper reporters extracts from them all they know without himself imparting any information. On his return from Europe the other day all the Boston scribes sought to learn of his future plans, but were obliged to abandon the effort. LUSTORONE No. 1.—To be used at bed-time every night.

A young woman of Magyar-Czernya in Hungary was called upon the long-distance telephone by her sweetheart in the town of Taba. He said: "Would you like to hear how I shoot myself?" Then she heard the sound of a shot. It was found afterward that the man had really killed himself. House Built of Buttons A house built of buttons is the latest thing in architecture, and a certain French musical celebrity is building it. The walls, the ceilings, the doors, exterior and the interior are all ornamented with buttons of every description. Every country has been ransacked and some very curious specimens are reported to have been brought to light. Bible for the Coronation The king has already ordered the coronation Bible from the British and Foreign Bible Society, to be used in Westminster Abbey in June. It will be a large quarto volume, bound in red morocco, with gold clasps and stamped with the royal arms. It will become the property of the bishop who administers the oaths. London's Catholic Cathedral The Roman Catholic cathedral in London, now in course of erection, is 360 feet long and 156 feet wide. Apart from the site, it has already co- $750,-000. The material used is red brick, with Portland stone courses, and its Oriental decorative features, it is said, suggest a mosque rather than a cathedral. Small Navy of Uruguay. Three gunboats of twelve-knot speed constitute the invincible navy of Uruguay, a force which would have a hard time with the mobilized fleet of Slam, which has two 800-ton corvettes, six gunboats, a 2,500-ton deck-protected cruiser armed with fourteen guns, and a 650-ton cruiser. 400,000 Jews in Africa A writer in the Jewish World gives the total number of Jews in Africa at 400,000, of whom 20,000 have located in South Africa, where, says the writer, the most solid and tangible results have been attained by Jewish pioneers in all branches of development. Ex-Soldiers for Clerks. Ex-soldiers will in future be employed as clerks in all departments of the British war office. Preference will be given to such as possess first-class certificates of education, or have been invalidled from active service by wounds or sickness. The vote of Nevada fluctuates very little. In 1892 it was 10,878; in 1894, 10,508; in 1896, 10,305; in 1898, 10,011; and in 1900, 10,196. No other state in the Union has such a record of an undeviating vote as has Nevada. Lucky to be in dall. The believers in the thirteenth idiosyncrasy are now etting cases of the man with thirteen wives who was sent to jail the other day, as if a man with thirteen wives were not in good luck to get safely inside a jail. Convicts Ask Clemency The white convicts employed on the breakwater at Capetown are sending a loyal address to King Edward, praying his clemency on the occasion of the approaching coronation. Paper Mills In America There are now more than 1,100 pulp and paper mills in the United States. They use about 1,000,000,000 feet of tumber a year. The sawmills consume twenty times as much. Birthday of a Nation. The new Australian federal government is appointing a Commonwealth Day on the lines of the American Independence Day. It is now engaged in weighing the claims of July 1, when Queen Victoria assented to the constitution; September 30, the date of the proclamation; January 1, the inauguration of the Commonwealth, and May 9, the date of the Duke of Cornwall's opening of the first federal parliament. The January date is the one most favored. Holland and Its Colonies. The hold that Holland has on its East Indian colonies is rather precarious. The Archon war, stretched over well-nigh thirty years, is having a period of recrudescence that will sadly try Dutch resources. The Jambi war has also kept the Hollanders busy. Strange to say, in both districts the Dutch troops are doing what the Dutch condemn in South Africa—burning farms. They are even destroying whole villages. Henrik Jusen's Early Life. Henrik Ibsen fifty years ago was serving behind the counter of a country drug store. The dispensing of medicines, however, did not suit tastes of the celebrated Norwegian, and during his apprenticeship he was hard at work reading for the profession of a doctor. In order to eke out a very small salary he took to writing, with what result the whole world knows. Fortunate Child. In the town of Manzanares, in Spain, the birth of the first year of this century was curiously honored by the municipality. Having recognized the claims of the expiring year by paying the funeral expenses of the last inhabitant of the town to die in it, the local authority undertook to bear the cost of the education of the first child born in the new year. Lakes in Arid Australia Subterranean lakes have recently been discovered in the Eucla district, Australia. They lie about thirty feet below the surface and contain an abundance of water. This discovery is of the greatest practical importance to this especially arid district. It is of scientific value also, as it affords an explanation of the disappearance of certain rivers. Robbery by Wholesale. A remarkable robbery has been committed at Bird's Island, near Toulon. There was on the island a bed containing 100,000 two-year-old oysters. They were safe at a recent date, but on the proprietor visiting the place again seven days later the whole stock had been cleared without any clue to the robbers being discoverable. Flying Not a New Idea. Flying is not a twentieth century idea. As far back as 1273 Friar Bacon predicted that flying would "shortly" become a general practice and Bishop Wilkins in 1652 said: "It will yet be as usual to hear a man call for his wings when he is going on a journey as it is now to hear him call for his boots." Honor for Italian Literary Man. Honor for Italian Literary Man Prof. Rodolfo Lanciana has just received the greatest prize a literary man can hope for in Italy. The Academia Keale della Science of Turin has awarded him the triennial prize of 12,000 litre, called the Premlo Bressa, from the name of its founder, for his recent scientific work.

BOOK HORSES WELL TAILED The Boar horses are remarkably well-trained, and when the Transvalers desire to form an ambush or firing line, their horses are taught to remain stationary as soon as they feel the reins dropped over their necks. Atmospheric Waves The atmospheric ocean surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by gigantic waves, which are invisible except when they carry parts of the air charged with moisture up into a colder atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs. In this manner long, parallel lines of clouds sometimes make their appearance at a great height, marking the crests of a ripple of air waves running miles above our heads.-Chicago Chronicle. Asphalt Pavements About twenty-five years ago government engineers decided to pave Pennsylvania avenue in Washington with asphalt. That was the beginning of the general use of the scientific mystery for street pavements. To-day over 234,000,000 square feet of street pavements in the United States and Canada are covered with asphalt. This asphalt pavement would make a boulevard twenty-six feet wide over 1,760 miles long and would reach from New York to New Orleans, and then have several miles for side streets. "Chair-House" Lodging Known as "the chair house," a New York institution's title is derived from the fact that human beings so poor they can not buy a lodging at the cheapest Bowery resorts put up five cents for a chance to occupy a chair for the night.
