Waldorf Astor has become so thoroughly anglicized that he is going to marry an American girl. A clergyman says that bridge whist leads to mental decline. Why doesn't he try poker for a change?

Perhaps boys should be thankful for whippings, as somebody declares, but they seldom are before they are 45. Sweet Spring is now approaching, and Summer with the rose, so poetry's encroaching upon the field of prose. King Edward was "warmly received" in Paris, but not in the same way as when he used to be prince of Wales. The czar will reserve the right to wield the big stick over the Douma, according to the latest advices from St. Petersburg.

Confirmation of the report that Mme. Adelina Patti has made her final tour in the United States is found in her recent criticisms of the American people. This lady, who once lived down on Grand street West, but now dwells in a castle in Wales, largely owing to the generosity of the citizens of this city, has lately discovered that we haven't any appreciation of art, cookery, music or good manners. This is an ill return for all the complimentary words we have uttered about her, not to mention the dollars we have paid to hear her voice. Although she was born in Madrid in February, 1843, she came here with her parents as a child and grew up among the people of New York. Her brother, Carol, used to lead the orchestra at the Grand Opera House, during the Jim Flak era of French opera-bouffe. Mine. Patti's last tour of this country was not financially successful—a circumstance that may account for her change of heart. The lady, however, insisted upon receiving her contract money to the last dollar. The im pressario was almost ruined, although the fault was the diva's own. She couldn't sing! Her voice had lost its fine quality. She wasn't a "diva" any longer. The American people found this out and refused to assist in maintaining Craig y Nos castle—Brooklyn Eagle. Famous Actors as Negro Minstrels. Jefferson said he thought he was one of the first men to black his face after the appearance and success of "Jim Crow" (T. D.) Rice. "I suppose," said Mrs. Drew, "there are very few men in this company who have not at one time or another been associated with minstrel performances." "I played Brudder Jones," said Mr. Jefferson. "Everybody knows I was in the minstrel business," Goodwin exclaimed. "Yes," I remarked, "because we were there together. "Well," joined in Crane, "I was on the tambourine end with Campbell's minstrels." I remember telling this at Lawrence Barrett's house at Cohasset, where the rest of the party consisted of Edwin Booth and Stuart Robson, Booth then told how he and J. S. Clarke were minstrels in their younger days, and he followed this up by declaring that he used to "pick a little on the banjo." I laughed, and Booth inquired the reason, and I added, "Oh, nothing much, only Booth and the banjo seemed such an odd combination."—Francis Wilson in Scribner's Magazine. O Thou Compassionate. How deeply comforting the tender phrase, Thy greater attribute seem merged in this: Through all life's long and dark and weary maze, Thou art Compassionate. To God of Justice and of Power we turn When wrong or devastating blow cuts deep; And yet in daily struggle needs must yearn For one Compassionate. In limits of our souls we live, alone, And e'en our nearest may not understand. But all the household jar within" is known To thee, Compassionate. Thou knowst the many sorrows of the day; Wide longing, narrow opportunity— We bring life's broken toys, as children may, To one Compassionate. We may have blundered grievously and long, Darkened Thy world we might have made so bright. Still Thou dost heal the heartache and the wring, O Thou Compassionate! —May Ethelyn Bourne, in Overland Monthly. Of No Importance. Two men were standing together on an East River ferryboat when one pointed out a third man with the remark: "I can't recall his name at this moment, but he writes for a number of the magazines." His friend looked at the stranger with much interest. "Oh, one of our frenzied finance captains, is he?" he asked. "No, he—" "Writes up trusts and things, then?" "Oh, then he's a prizefighter or an actor—he is rather husky looking." "No, no! He's just a plain author—writes stories." "Oh!" the friend exclaimed, the look of interest suddenly dying out of his face—New York Journal. True to His Promise. The other boy had called Tommy a liar, an 'a fightin' liar, and told him he dassen't take it up. Tommy's fists were clinched and his eyes were blazing, but he stood there rapidly repeating something to himself, in accordance with a long standing promise he had made to his mother. "If you'll jist wait till I've finished sayin' it," he said, "I'll knock the tar out o' you, Dick Bunker, you pie faced slob! 'But children, you should never let your angry passions—'" The other boy, however, disappeared around the corner while Tommy's lips were still moving. Flying Wedge. "Great Scott!" exclaimed the drummer who had put up in the old farm house over night. "What was that noise down below? Football rush?" "Worse than that, stranger," chuckled the old farmer, as he snuffed out the candle. "Yeou see, I have eight darters on each one of them has a bean who calls on Thursday nights. Walk the dirt couple that pets the parlor can save it. That's why they are running." LACE SCARF AS EAR TRUMPET. Elderly Lady Has Discovered It Acts as Sounding Board. With advancing years a dear old lady has found that her hearing has become somewhat affected. She has not found it necessary to use an ear trumpet as yet, but it is difficult at times to catch all that friends say. Anything said in an undertone is completely lost to her—that is, it was until she hit upon a novel idea. While visiting a friend recently the hostess had pitched her voice almost to the straining point and her vocal organs were getting tired, when "Aunt Sis," as she is affectionately termed, interrupted her by saying: "Please, dearle, hand me my lace head scarf." "Do you feel a draught?" anxiously inquired the hostess, handing over the mantilla. "Not the slightest," said "Aunt Sil" as she adjusted the head covering. "Oh, I think not. You see, the scarf acts as a sort of sounding board. It keeps out all other sounds except those of the human voice. When I wear this I can hear even a whisper I can't explain why it is, but it is so, nevertheless. I have had lots of fun over it, too. My boys have been taking advantage of my infirmity to whisper to each other. I didn't hear them before I began to wear this scarf, but now I know lots of their secrets and they don't know it. It's a good joke on them." Fish Know Colors. "Fish know colors," said a keeper at the New York Aquarium the other day. "They can distinguish between red and blue, or white and green, as well as you and I. Wait and I'll prove it." He led the way to a tank in which were some red and some yellow and some green fish, and in it were artificial grottoes painted respectively red and yellow and green. The keeper rolled the water with his hand, and the fish fled, the red ones to the red grotto, the yellow ones to the yellow grotto, and the green ones to the green grotto. "They know which color shields them from observation best," said he. "Now I'll change the grottoes, so as to prove my statement a second time." He moved the grottoes to different places in the tanks and again rolled the water. The same thing followed as before. Each fish darted like a shot to the grotto of its own color, where it knew it would be best concealed. To the Beloved. Everything that I made I used to bring you. Was it a song, why, then 'twas a song to sing to you. Was it a story, to you I was telling my story. Ah, my dear, could you hear 'mid the bliss and the glory? Did any one praise me, to you I said it all over: My laughter for you: how we laughed in the days past and my troubles were yours; did any one grieve me. I carried it straight to the love that was sure to relieve me. O my dear, when aught happens, to you I am turning. Forgetting how far you have traveled this day from my yearning. There it nobody now to tell things to; your love is lonely. And still I'm forgetting and bringing my tale to you only. The old days are over; how pleasant they were, the fine weather. When youth and my darling and I were at home and together! And still I'm forgetting, ochone, that no one you're near me. And turn to still with my tale, and there's no one to hear me. —Pall Mall Gazette. Fate of the Old Presidents. In the autumn of 1901 Mrs. W. of Roxbury spent a few weeks with her daughter in Nova Scotia, returning home shortly before President McKinley was shot, bringing her niece, Bessie F., aged 6 years, home with her. Of course the child heard a good deal of talk in the house about the shooting of the president. One day Bessie said to her aunt: "Aunt Minnie, who is king of the United States?" Her aunt replied: "We have no kings in the United States like you do in your British country. We have presidents. We have an election every four years and elect a new one." "Oh, yes," the child replied; "and then they shoot the old ones, don't they?"—Boston Herald. New City for Egypt. Seakin, on the Red sea, has proved an unsatisfactory port and is to be superseded by a brand-new rival which has been built up out of coral work and desert sand by the Egyptian authorities. The rival is Port Sudan, the latest addition to the cities of the British empire, and an enthusiast says that it is destined to be a place of magnitude and importance in the days when cotton shall have made it the New Orleans of the east. The place has hitherto been called Mersa Sheikh Barud. It is about 680 miles south of Suez and is capable of holding a dozen vessels of moderate size. The entrance is 600 feet across, and the land around is six feet above sea level.

Their Use Urged by a German Milli- tary. Writer. A writer in the Militar-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Brocad Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so because he mentions incidentally, as a matter regarding which there can be no dispute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression upon it, the attacking Japanese infantry not infrequently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japanese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and burdensome a protection when advancing in the open against an intrenched enemy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light, handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proof shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt suggests that on the march the shield should be carried on the back, when going into action on the chest, and when advancing to the attack in the left hand, so as to be at once available for use when lying down to fire, both as head cover and rifle rest. YOUR HAIR SHOULD BE DRAB. That is the Fashionable Color, So an Authority Says. "Deep auburn and the drab shades are the fashionable colors in hair this season," said the woman who makes hair coloring a speciality, as placidly as though she were commenting on the state of the weather or the advance style in dress goods. "One of my customers has to my knowledge worn five different colors or shades on her wavy tresses. Having been blessed with medium brown hair by nature she became a ravishing blonde when the fashion for bleaching first came in. "Next she took to titan red after a trip to the art galleries of Europe. Then she thought she would be more attractive as a brunette, and now her hair is drab. "The lest is by far the most popular of all for the reason that is most difficult to obtain, and then it is pretty generally becoming, and it happens that women who are born with this particular color of hair are almost always clever. "How is it done? Well, in case of a woman whose hair is dark a bleach must first be used before the dye is applied. With women whose hair has turned gray it is a still simpler problem. The color lasts a year, while the head can be washed and even salt water bathing does not affect it."—New York Sun. What bought my private car?

Not a Good Advertisement. A Welsh judge had before him a ease in which a printer sued a pork butcher for the value of a large parcel of paper bags with the butcher's advertisement printed thereon. The printer, having no suitable illustration to embellish the work, thought he improved the occasion by putting an elaborate royal arms above the man's name and address, but ultimately the latter refused to pay. The judge, looking over a specimen, observed that for his part he thought the lion and the unicorn were much nicer than an old fat pig. "O well," answered the butcher, "perhaps your honor likes to eat animal like that, but my customer's don't. I don't kill lions and unicorns—I only kill fat pigs!" Verdict for defendant.—New York World. A Kansas City man purchased a city lot with the restriction that he should not build a house on it to cost less than $2,500. After having paid for the lot he decided to build a $1,500 cottage. Before he had completed it the real estate man from whom he had bought the lot threatened to sue him for breach of contract. "This little shack you are building," said the real estate man, "lacks a whole lot of being a $2,500 house such as you agreed to build." "Don't form too hasty judgment," replied the owner. "True, it hasn't cost that much yet, but I intend to put a solid, gold brick in the chimney." -Kansas City Times Telephone Bell W. 32. W. B. R FUNERAL and Embalmer.

Because its employees were late a London house provided a book in which the tardy ones were to write excuses. Reasons for lateness were not much varied. At the top of the page one would write "Train delayed," or "Omnibus horse died," as the case might be, and the rest fell into the habit of making ditto marks and letting it go at that. But not long ago one man had a new excuse. He wrote with pride: "Wife had twins." The second slow person that morning was in a great hurry, and did not notice the innovation, but made his customary ditto marks, and the rest of the men on that page followed suit. The excuse book was abolished. Example of the Postage Stamp Example of the Postage Stamp. The late Judge Andrew Wylie, of Virginia, had a happy gift of illustration. The judge cast in 160 the only vote for Lincoln that was given in Alexandria, Va. In an address on Lincoln he once illustrated in an odd way the power of perseverance. "Lincoln persevered," he said, "and it is only those who persevere, they who concentrate their energies, who succeed. Don't give three years to journalism and then, discouraged, try the law awhile. Don't learn the grocery business and in a little while take up placer mining or plumbing. Consider, rather, the postage stamp, whose useful depends on its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there." "Well," said the first policyholder, throwing aside his paper, "there is at least one thing we can be thankful for concerning our Mutual friend, Mr. McCurdy."

His record includes three shipwrecks, the battle of Navarino, in which he won mention in orders, the blockade of Algiers, one capture by brigands, followed by himself and his companions seizing the Spanish ship which captured the coxair which had captured them. After serving many years before the master he became a master and small ship owner on his own account. His name is Pierre Loiat. He was born in November, 1805, and at 12 he went to sea. ROOM 8.

Certainly democracy is more advanced in spite of the surviving aristocracy and mon- archy. The individual Englishman is Proverbially more insistent on his rights in major and minor matters and more likely to get them, and “the shrieking sisterhood,” as the British journals playfully call the woman's rights woman, are indisputably con- ducting a more vociferous agitation. A more metophystcal feminine prob- lem has been brought to the fore. A recent meeting of the National Union of Women Workers in Great Britain held an interesting discussion as to ‘the relative sense of honor possessed by men and women, Men were not Permitted to take part in the debate, One of the most prominent mem- bers, of the union noted that feminine frailty which cheats at games, “talks of having servants when they have none,” reads other people's let- ters, and indulges in eavesdropping, listening to conversations intended for other ears. The reason assigned for these peccadillos was neglect of early training. Boys, it was stated, are taught to be chivalrons to girls. A boy knows that ‘his friends and playmates will despise him and punch him if he is a “cheat- er.” Boyish chivalry spoils -girls and girls know that their petty failings with regard to honor will be tolerated. Boys will abide by an umpire’s decis- fon; girls will not. It is to be noted that baseball is not played in England The speaker summed up the whole matter with the statement that “girls generally have more sense of honor by nature and boys by training.” Another speaker claimed that the law winks at women smuggling, which certainly is not the case in this coun- try. Nevertheless the rule holds good on this side of the Atlantic that the public expects less minor morality of women and men are disposed to smile {ndulgently at women’s fibbing, gos. sipping and temper, too, if the whole truth is to be told. While the Englishwomen ‘admitted the general superiority of men in re. spect to honor, it was asserted that ‘there is much more honor among girls now than there was a century ago.” This is doubtless due to the increas ing employment of women in business which has developed a high standard of honor and integrity. Many women have deservedly risen to high positions of trust. While it Is true that, speaking broadly, women have less sense o} honor than men in minor matters some women have as keen a sense of this great virtue as the ideal knight of the middle ages. In justice to women it must be admitted that in spite of petty defects, on the whole they far “surpass men in maters of morality and goodness. The ideal woman is an an- gel; the average woman is at any rate better than the average man.—Hous- ton Chronicle. On Unexpected Gi ests. “The woman who does her own work 1s sometimes in danger of gliding into an attitude of shrinking from guests,” says Mary Stewart Cutti.g in her “Talks to Wives” now appearing ‘in Harper's Bazar. “Very mistakenly she feels that when she cannot offer the perfection of employed services to her friends she does not care to ask them to her table. Thas the man of the house has too often to renounce tle privilege, dear to his heart, of bring- ing home a chance guest. When young and inexperienced he cherishes the {l- Insion that he can do this at any time without warning, and it takes a series of bitter lessons to convince him that he is not free in this regard, and even if he sends word to his wife that one of his old college friends has happened in and that he is bringing him out to dinner he may be making a terrible blunder. ‘It is always a pity when this stage ls reached. ‘The man who comes to th» point where he is afraid to invite a | friend home with him when he pleases has lost something besides the privi- lege. A certain degree of confidence in his wife's ability to meet emergen- cles in her eagerness to give fim pleasure, is gone.” A magnificent hotel. to be knowr as he 270 Min Ling, has just been opened ty the covernor of Hongkong.

Nz DW Se a ee Snifiies and Toodles were twins. They had the bluest eyes and the wellowest hair you ever saw, and their bodies were made of fine, kid, while their heads, hands and ‘feet were of bisque. Sniffles wore a dainty sailor suit of white serge trimmed with blue braid and brass buttons, and Toodles was glorious ‘in a frock of pink mulle trimmed with white lace. Therefore, you will understand that Sniffles was a boy doll and Toodles a girl doll. The home of Sniffles and Tood- les was a very, very nice one, not to say quite elegant. But the twins grew so tired of staying forever in the nursery, where their little _mother came during her vacations ‘and holidays to play with them. ‘And they were not the only play- things she had, for the great play- room was crowded with every manner of toy known to toymak- ers, and as the small mistress of the room was an only child, she had many other interests than those belonging to her nursery, Besides the little mother of Sniff- les and Toodles was getting a bit tep old for dolls, for she had been ‘sent away to a private school the year before, and since then had felt herself quite a young lady, al- though she was but ten years of age. a And so it was that the twins sighed for change and excitement, Often they looked down from the nursery window into a pretty park ithat bordered the opposite side o! the street and watched with lonely hearts the children playing there So many little girls came to the park every day, bringing their dol- ties with them for the air 2nd rec. reation. Some of the dolls rode ir dainty wicker cabs, and this sich’ caused Sniffles and Toodles to fee! the irony of their fate all the keen: 1 er: for was there not a dear, silk. lined doll cab—bought expressly for them—right there in the roon with them?

Once in the strect the way was easy for the twins. They ran across to the park that was now almost empty of people, for the fall winds were blowing about very cold. But dolls ‘5 not mind the cold unless they are wax; then the low temperature cracks them and ' spoils their smooth skin. “I suggest we stop here for a | few moments,” said Sniffles, jump- ing upon a rustic bench. “This is the path where all the children ioe when the wind blows, for the hill yonder and the hedge behind | protect this particular spot.” | Hardly had Toodles taken her seat beside her brother, the “Admiral,” when down the path came trooping two lit- tle girls and a little dog at their heels. “Ah,” cried one, pointing at Sniffles and Toodles, “someone has _ left two dolis!| ‘Mercy, aren't they I-o-v-e-l-v!” chickendom all fall upon him simul- taneously. ‘The stories that he reads of the woman who paid off the mort- gage, educated four children and tour- ed Europe from the profits of two pig- eons and a “setting” of eggs gave him no warning of his woes.

He comes back to the city poorer and poorer in pocket and illusions, lucky Ne aS. “Yes, but we’d better remain here and keep watch over them or some evil person will carry them off,” said the other. So they sat down beside the twins and waited ‘till almost dark, As no one came to claim the dolls, and it was so late that the children must go home, they decided to carry them home and return to the park the following day, carrying the dolls up and down the paths hunting for their ownef. So Sniffles and Tood- les soon found themselves the cen- ter of an admiring family. There was the mother and father and big brother to express their pleasure with the dolls. Never had the ‘twins been so happy as in this new home. Here they occupied chairs at the table beside the little ladies who had found them. And at night they were put to bed on a big ‘chair—well covered, too, from the cold—in the room in which the girls slept. | The next day the little gies promenaded the park paths for ‘several hours, going in the morn- ing and again in the afternoon \with the dolls in a pretty cab, ‘which they had borrowed from a ‘friend for the purpose. And every child they met they would ask: “Did you lose a doll or dolls in the |park yesterday?” To which they | always met with a negative an- swer. nee And so they went again and again to the park, day after day, hunting for the owner of Sniffles and Toodles to no avail. After a jweek had gone by the children’s parents told them that they might | make up their minds that the dolls had been left by some out-of-town cna, and that they would never be jclaimed. So the little girls danced and clapped their hands with glee, \for now Sniffles and Toodles be- Honged to them. And in the pri- |vacy of their bed that night Tood- \les whispered to Sniffles: “T'm hap- | py now; aren’t you Admiral?” To which the Admiral replied: | “This ship just suits me. There's something doing. I always hated too much riches and aristocracy, ‘anyway. ‘There’s no sociability || about them.” |" Then they folded their hands ani | went to sleep, as happy as could.be. rp It Is to Smile, | ‘To live too fast it also to die toe | fast. | Prospective heirs are usually glad to wear dead men's shoes. | ‘The worker with the most sand us | ually fs the first to raise the dust.

Even as the Panama affair showed how the rulers of the Third Republic—Roucier, Clem- enceau and many others—were bought and sold in corruption, the tawdrier Humbert case demonstrated that the judiciary, from the Guard of Seals down to the casual judge, was capable of conspiring for wholesale theft. The Third Republic is a polypus with three tentacles—bureaueratic, judiciary and military. Pankma proclaimed the in- famy of the bureaucracy; the mon strous theft set on foot by old Hum- bert, the minister of justice and Guard of the Seals, proclaimed that of the ju- diciary; it was reserved for the Drey- fus case to uncover the military igno- miny—not of France, mark you, but of the Third Republic, which is a very different thing. In @ way you know the story of the young captain, studious and good, who was caught up in its tentacular orbit; but you do not know it all. What is most wonderful in it is the fierce and sudden uprising of humanity in this old Latin world. It seemed for a while ‘that the Third Republic was a sewer —in which all ideals were drowned. Then, as though summoned by a mak- er of miracles, there arose this white ideal of humanity—greater than the love of country, race or religion— man’s love for man, the hate of infus- tice, anger against the lie. What spoke then was the collective soul of France; and in that voice was heard the au- gust and savage wisdom of tie people —veasants of the field and helots of the mines—the People. When once that voice was heard the end was no longer in doubt. The arama rose from its first base acts of suicide, murder forgery, perjury, delation; it became a revolution at once social and politi- cal; it caught up in its swirling fold: this young captain, studious and good, and made him a battle flag—a point of attack—a rallying point—the muse and center of one of the great human mevement of this age, or any age. Nor did the civilized world stand aside ecntent to watch the battle. It poured millions of fighting money into France, its great men fought with pen and voice in all known languages of Eu- rope; local ideals of race and patriot- ism were forgotten—this war was hu- manity's war. That was the tragedy of a nation—for while Dreyfus hung chained to the Devil’s Rock in the southern seas, France was thrown, like a dead girl, to the lampreys ané ecls cf anarchy —Snerece Macasina To Be a Good Conversationa‘ist. To be a good conversationalist you must be spontaneous, buoyant, natural sympathetic and must have a spirit of good will. You must feel a spirit of helpfulness, and must enter heart and soul into things which interest others. You must get the attention of people and hold it by interesting them, and you can only interest them by a warm syimpathy—a real, friendly sympathy. If you are cold, distant and unsympa- thetic you cannot get their attention. To be a good conversationaZst you must be broad, tolerant. A narrow stingy soul never talks well. A man who is always violating your sense of taste, of justice and of fairness, never interests you. You lock tight all the approaches to your inner self, every avenue is closed to him and when they are closed, your magnetism and your helpfulness are cut off, and the conversation is perfunctory, mechani- cal, and without life or feeling, * You must bring your listeners close to you, must open your heart wide. and exhibit a broad free nature and an open mind. You must be responsive, so that a listener will throw wide open every avenue of his nature and sive you free access to his heart of hearts.—Success Mazasine.

How Governcr Elect Hughes Resem. bles Roosevelt. | He gives you a glance that fs pen- etrating, but smiles openly with lps that are large and mobile. He has a straight nose that is very clearly cut. His under lip juts forth beyond his up- per, conveying a sense of the fighter. The beard, a bit shaggy, no doubt stubborn against arrangement, might Serve to conceal that capacity for com- bat cortfessed by the cast of the jaw and lower race; put that lip, thrusting forth, tells the story. And the teeth! Behind the wide mouth of sweeping curves they are big and white. Those ia the front rise prominently above their fellows. They all suggest pow- er. There is something about the man ‘that intimates Roosevelt. Not in his figure, which, compared with the Pres- ident’s stocky build, seems spare. Nor fn his appearance, save, possibly, for ‘those ivory battlements of tecth. Not at all in his manner of speech, The President talks as he acts, with a rush. Mr. Hughes’ words do not lag, but they are deliberate. The man who sits in the White House has a buoyant, elated, almost joyous way of greeting you, of conversing with you, of part- ing with you. Mr. Hughes is grave without gloominess—the gravity of the ‘scholar who goes to the bottom of ‘things. He is sober but not solemn— ‘the thoughtfulness of the trustee who weighs his responsibilities. He is care- ful, but not cautious—the painstaking care of the teacher. His gray eye is naturally calm, yet it lights with en- thusiasm or flames with Indignation. With his dignity of gesture—and his whole being is instinct with dignity— he reveals a spring or energy in his wiry, rather tall form. He 7s alert but not precipitous; intense but not im- passioned—American Monthly Re- view of Reviews. Shakespéare’s Forest of Arden. | There is not only this great Ar- \dennes at the edge of France, but a little Arden in England; and this is not to be wondered at, for many a geographical name was carried across the Channel from the Conti- nent; but some have claimed that Shakespeare meant the Arden of England. Shakespeare scems to write, however, with the constant implication that the forest is on the French border; he ever portrays Rosalind and Celia as wearily walk- ing to the forest from their French home; and his desctiption of Duke Frederick leading his army to the skirts of the wood seems clearly to point out that he means the Ar- dennes that is beside France, And it is curious that, while Shakespeare was writing plays, Henry of Navarre found it neces. sary to march a force to the cap- ture of Sedan, within what was at that time the forest boundary, Twas in Ardennes in the idyllic glory of early spring. A tender warmth was in the air, and the for est,after the long unresponsive- ness of winter, was with shy geser- osity giving promise of loving opu- lence tu come. The lelds were pied with the earliest daisies, butter cups and violets painted the mead- ows with delight, the first birds were singing, and the” trees were gently unfolding their first buds. Tt was the sweet and happy Arden of the sweet and happy comedy. Guide book and atlases use the term “Ardennes” with somewhat of unavoidable vagueness. Origin- ally, this forest extended not only over a great part of Belgium, but stretched also into France and to- ward the eastward. Clumps of its woodland still break the levels of Champ>gne ; there are retains cf is in Luxembourg; and there are still great forest masses in central Bel- gium, dotted with cities and inter- sected by railways. But the pres- ent centre of Ardennes is in the southern part of Belgium, along the line of the Semors, and com- prises a wide area of hill, of river valley, of undulating plateau, of upland heath, And it is this very part, isolated as it is, with which most of the great names that are connected with the forest have had | their association Scribner.

Senator Clark and Senator Warren of Wyoming, have been dragged into the Utah coal land fraud cases. Mich- acl A. Myendorff, special agent of the government, who began an investiga- tion of the frauds and who, before he had completed his investigations, was transferred to Los Angeles, presented an affidavit in which he told of efforts made by influential men to induce him to cease his investigation of the coal land frauds. He named the senators, Commissioner Richards of the general land office, and George F. Pollock, chief of department B, Interior depart- ment, in this connection. The Galveston ‘Tribune says that Charles W. Morse, of New York, recent purehaser of the Mallory line steam- ships, is about to close a deal for the purchase of the Ward line stexmers, known as the New York and Cuba Mail Steamship company. It is known that Mr. Morse was looking into the New York-Cuban business when gath- ering into his holdings the Mallory steamers and those of the Clyde line. The Ward line company comprises eighteen steamships. There are two new vessels of §,000 tons each about ready for launching. William F.

The family coachman, the cook, the washerwoman and two train- ed nurses have also been very ill from the same cause. The potson was placed in powdered sugar used in making frosting for a cake. The fact that the esas used in the frosting neutralized the poison in a degrée is the only ex- planation of why any of the stricken persens are alive. Who placed the poison in the sugar fs a mystery the authorities have been unable to solve. sA a resclt of experiments with chol- era virus at Bilibid prison, Manila, ten prisoners out of twenty-four who were inoculated have died.

It is said by the investigators that the fatal- itles resulted from contamination of the virus with the bubonic plague vi- rus, Cholera virus is in constant use here and it has proved beneficial previ- ously.
