Here receive a warm ovation The suggestion that the matrimonial fever is due to a microbe has been less strongly opposed by medical men since the recent experience of Potstown, in Pennsylvania, says the Philadelphia Record. A number of young people who were cast for parts in a series of amateur dramatic performances were victims of an epidemic of marriage. It began during the rehearsals, a young man first showing symptoms of the malady, which soon extended to the young woman who was the most intimately associated with him in the plays. The advocates of the microbe theory were not surprised when others presented evidence of infection. Before the rehearsals ceased five couples announced their engagement. Then a stage carpenter and promoter and stage carpenter have succumbed to the disorder, and there is a reasonable expectation that the epidemic will extend to persons outside the dramatic party. Out of the license fees already gathered the county clerk has bought a new overcoat and the Every prison has its secret "telegraph," for it was not to be expected that cunning offenders could be long confined together, even on the "separate cell" system, without discovering a method of secret intercommunication. Prisoners "rap their messages" to each other, and experience has shown that an attentive ear may receive and understand a command made through the thickest prison wall. The raps correspond regularly with the letters of the alphabet, which is arranged for the purpose into six rows, the first beginning with "a" and the last beginning and ending the series with "z." The first rapping indicates the row in which the letter is to be found, one for first, two for second, and so on; the subsequent raps, given after a slight pause, show the number of the letter in the row. At first the prisoner is blinded, but after a little practice the prisoner is enabled to dispense with all conscious reference to it, the message being really received, as in the Morse telegraph, in the form of symbols standing in place of letters. "Papa," said Harry, "what does a man mean when he says to another man, "I'll fix you?" Now, Mr. Bonsa was reading the evening paper and didn't want to be so, so he answered rather impatiently. "Don't bother me, Harry. Don't you see that I am reading?" "But, papa," said the boy, "I wish you would tell me, for I want to know, and I won't bother you any more." "Oh, it means 'I will do you up!'" "I'll do you up," repeated Harry; and then, after thinking a moment—"but, papa, what does 'I will do you up' mean?" "Now, I'll tell you," said the father, "and then you must not ask me another question this evening. It means that some man is going to kill another man." And Harry, who was only 5, opened his eyes wide, looked stupefied, and presently walked away. About a second later the little man was easily physician, was not within easy reach, a strange doctor was Mushroom Canning. Talking about eating recalls a veil of chatter that the famous special correspondent, J. A. MacGahan, once fell into at a dinner party. He insisted that the time would come on this earth when the mushroom would be the life-sustaining vegetable throughout the world. The fact that it can be raised in the dark and under ground commends it to the agriculturists several hundred years hence, when every available square foot of Here where they brew the weather comes birds on timorous feather.

It is recalled that of the 102 young men and women who were transported from San Francisco to Manila in a government vessel to become public school teachers seventy-eight went through the marriage ceremony before the ship reached the Philippines. Among the victims in this case were many hitherto obdurate bachelors, whose transformation could be accounted for only by the germ theory. Other instances where matriarchy has assumed an epidemic form have been explained as the effect example, but there is evidence in the conditions inconsistent with the operation of microce. At first view it may be difficult to think an organism so minute as to be visible only under a high microscopic power could work a man weighing 200 pounds; but any person afflicted with the grip will not doubt the enormous power of a disease germ. It has produced a suicidal man and might, therefore, inspire a man with a purpose to marry. In Russia the clew is not so much in the system itself as in the nihilistic method of manipulating language with a view to concealment. This is clear from what happened recently in one of the central prisons. Word had gone round to protest, not only against an excess of heavy work, but against the bad quality of food supplied to the prisoners, and the protest was to take the form of a refusal to perform the usual tasks on the men being called together after breakfast. Somehow or other the governor obtained the message as it had been rapped through all the walls, but he took it literally as a plot to break prison by the whole of the convicts, so he armed the whole of the warders to the teeth, taking effective measures to prevent the assembly on the morrow. This blunder upon a highly visible upon the discipline of the prison, for the convicts obtained not only immediate immunity from the heavy tasks to which they had not been accustomed, but afterward enjoyed better food and more humane treatment. called in. The doctor had a solemn face and a solemn manner, and Harry did not feel allogether sure of him. Presently Mrs. Bonsall left the room to get something that was needed, and Harry thought he would make friends with the doctor by opening a conversation with him. "Going to give me some medicine, doctor?" "Oh, yes," answered the doctor. "I'm going to give you some medicine. Don't worry, my little man; I'll fix you." Undoubtedly there came to Harry the explanation that his father had recently given him of those fearful words, and, throwing off the covers, he leaped out of bed, rushed for the door, and before the doctor could recover from his amazement at the boy's astonishing behavior, the little fellow was clinging to his mother out in the hall and begging her to send away the man who was going to "do him up."

NAVY OF THE UNITED STATES SOON TO BE OF ENORMOUS STRENGTH War in the East Has Demonstrated the "Naval Unreadiness" of Other Nations Than Russia—Magnificent Vessels That Fly the Stars and Stripes. Is the United States destined to become the greatest maritime power in the world? Secretary Morton's estimates for the navy for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, are $114,530,633—an increase of $17,372,448 over the appropriation for 1905, an increase of $34,713,847 over that of 1904, and the largest ever made in the history of the country. Of the recent estimates, $45,255,833 is set apart for the "increase of the navy," including construction and machinery, armor and armament, and equipment. To-day the United States is building more warships than Great Britain—now the greatest war nation—and the total tonnage of our first-class warships in course of construction exceeds the tonnage of similar vessels being built by each of the other four great powers. No nation is at present advancing so rapidly with her navy—with the exception of Great Britain—as the United States, and this is a day of remarkable naval advancement in all parts of the civilized world. Japan, for instance, is said to be planning to spend $60,000,000 for new battleships and to build a new aircraft carrier, although the amount now being actually expended is $15,000,000. Russia, since the war has been so disastrous to her, has decided to extend her original construction plan, and will soon build eight first-class battleships. Germany, despite the discontent expressed there in the late elections is hurrying forward her shipbuilding program. Italy and France are not far behind the others in the race for naval power. Germany is also responding to the strength of her squadrion; even Brazil is spending $7,250,000 for a new navy; Argentina, $4,605,000; Chile, $3,250,000; while Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico are appropri- 05 1734 ating smaller sums, and even slow- going China is adding to her sea strength at a cost of $2,500,000. every time a twelve-inch gun is fired The projectiles of the most power ful twelve-inch guns have an angle fall of 111.6°. Thus, according to the latest official figures, $350,000,000 is expended annually by all the nations for their naval defense against one another. And this sum it is estimated that the sum will reach $560,000,000. Of this vast amount nearly one-half will be expended by the United States and Great Britain. The desire for "readiness" prevails in all nations. The war between Russia and Japan has taught an object lesson to the great powers of the world. It demonstrated the "unreadiness" of Russia. It has demonstrated that navies supposed to be liable of warfare in reality inefficient. The Japanese have revolutionized the entire scope of naval warfare. They have shown that most of the nations of the earth are in a state of "unreadiness." The other day a high naval authority expressed the belief to the writer that if Japan had engaged in war with the United States instead of Russia the showing made by this country might be anything but creditable. All of Japan's naval tactics have been on the modern line of excellence, the use of warfare, when ships brushed by one warship, exchanging broadsides, was slowly graduated to a range of two to three miles. It remained for the Japanese to increase the range to five, six and seven miles. But what position does the United States find itself in to day? Only a few weeks ago the greatest battlefield in the American navy—the Connecticut—was launched at Brooklyn. This battlefield was built to rank with the greatest battleships of the world, but although nearly in the water, it will be soon trailing in the wake of greater, better battleships that are now being planned for the immediate future. These ships will have greater torment; they will be armed with greater guns with longer range, and they will be manned by the best men that the world can produce. In a word, the mighty battleship of the future will be a huge mechanical death trap whose gunners will be scientists in the mathematical calculation of projecting shot from long ranges and men of iron in the execution of their expert marksmanship. In order to show how it is proposed to expend the millions it will be necessary briefly to review the progress of the American navy. For years the navy was equipped with only 7,500 men. This state of affairs continued up to the time that the new man was begun in 1888, when the number of men increased, until, in 1888 to 1890, there were 9,000 to 10,000. Since the Spanish war, when there were 10,000 men in our navy, the authorized number has been 31,500, with 2,500 apprentices. By a change that has taken place recently, all men in training have been consolidated with the apprentice class, so that the authorized force in the navy is 34,000. There are about 31,000 men now serving, and 3,000 more are wanted. With the increase of men the expenses of the navy department increased. The pay became better, and the service was consequently better. Petty officers received more money, especially the chief petty officers. In the last year the United States has put into the water more tonnage in battleships and cruisers than ever before in any army, and more than armored more first-class war vessels than any other nation in the world. Now, all these ships must be paid for. The average cost of a first-class battleship is $6,000,000, and an armored cruiser, about the same. Final payments are to be made on the Ohio, the Virginia, the Nebraska, the Rhode Island, the Louisiana, all first-class battleships and on the Pennsylvania, the West Virginia, the Colorado, armored cruisers. The battleships now being built were planned for the best type of war vessels existed. The Connecticut was constructed, for instance, on the plan of England's Africa, Britannia, and Hibernian, known as the King ENGLAND 47% FRANCE PERCENTAGE OF NAVAL STRENGH (BUILT AND BUILDING) Edward class, which are of about 16,350 tons. The Connecticut has a tonnage of 16,000 and horse power of 16,500 as against 18,000 horse power of the King Edward class. It was believed by the American builders that we had as good, if not a better, ship than the best war vessel in England. On the Connecticut we are able to get 200 more tons of coal than they are on the English ships; our ship is 25 feet longer and 2 feet less beam than theirs. The speed is probably about the same. The ship can make 18.5 ktcs an hour, and it is expected that the Connecticut will make 18 knots. The draught of both classes of ships is the same—29 feet 9 inches. Up to the present time the Connecticut represents the best model of a battleship now afloat. But the war sharks are looking ahead of the Connecticut. The British warships of the King Edward class will soon be superseded by those of the Lord Nelson class, the latest type now under discussion in the English navy yards. This new class consists of ships of 18,000 and 20,000 tons, with six turrets distributed forward, aft and amidships, facing forward, twelve-inch guns, which is the most powerful effective gun that has powered for ships. This new class of ship will it, is believed, outrank any other now affloat, and, in order to keep pace with the other nations, the United States is now planning for a class to equal it, thus outclassing its latest battleship, the Connecticut. A great advance is also being made in the guns of warships. The English figured on a forty-caliber for the King Edward class, but the United States believes that it has a better gun than this. On ships of the King Edward class they have four nine-two-tenth-inch guns in the smaller turrets, while we have, on the Louisiana, for instance, eight eight-inch guns that are fully as good. Then, the English have ten six-inch guns, while we have twelve seven-inch guns. But while the six-inch gun was rated as efficient in the past, the recent sea fight Off Port Arthur fully indicated that it has not the penetration at the range at which the Japanese battleships fought. The seven-inch guns reached the Japanese, but did little damage. The range of sea fighting that the miles in some lengthened to seven miles in many of the guns was in service in the American other navies practically useless in battles with up-to-date nations. The old naval battle where ships hammered one another to pieces at a distance of one mile or less has passed into ancient history along with the day when Perry's flagship was turned into a shambles on Lake Erie. The modern battleship must be equipped with perfect machinery, and it must be manned by experts capable of handling it. At the range of five to seven miles it requires twelve-inch, fifty-caliber guns to do the work, and the six-inch gun is destined to go out of existence on battleships in a short time. The future ship, in the opinion of authorities, must be twice the present weight and armored for a six-inch gun; war vessels of inch gun type equipped with twelve-inch guns it will be seen at a glance how easily the millions will melt away. With the new ships and the new guns must come expert marksmanship. It now costs the United States navy $3,500 a year for target practice. Good marksmanship is the keynote of success to a navy. The Japanese have demonstrated this. Between two ships equally equipped and of the same tonage, they defeated their enemies on account of their superiority in gunery. Marksmanship is by constant practice. It will be readily understood why target practice is so expensive when it is known that it costs $1,000 GERMANY 14 9% every time a twelve-inch gun is fired. The projectiles of the most powerful fulve十二-inch guns have an angle of fall of about 11½ degrees at six miles, and therefore the danger space of a battleship forty feet high is about sixty-six yards. In order, then, tc make a hit with a perfect gun and perfect aiming the range must be known within one-half of this amount. With reliable pointers at the guns long-range firing becomes principally a training in range-finding—New York Times. When. Theater-Goers Smoke Most. "You wouldn't suppose on the first thought that there is any connection between the state of the drama and the retail tobacco trade," says a man who runs a cigar store close to one of the down-town theaters, "but there is such a connection, and it is a close one. On any night when the theater has a musical comedy show or anything of that kind I get twice the business I do when the performance is a comedy or tragedy.

"But with the other kind of show, even though the house be crowded, the bulk of the audience consists of couples.

Thorough Work of Japs Thorough Work of Japs Oddities of South Africa When the Worm Turned On a street corner in the northwestern section of the city last Saturday forooneum quite a large crowd had collected. It had formed a ring, or, rather, a square, about some object in the center, two sides having congregated on each side of the curb, and a square on the opposite line on the other side of the square. The onlookers to whatever was going on did not seem in the least excited, but there was every indication of much interest in the situation. "Drunken women fighting," said one of two young women who were passing near by. "It's most disgraceful, and those people placidly looking on. If they were men they'd stop it," she said to her companion. "It's degrading. An old gentleman in the same locality was explaining to another one that a man had been stricken with an epileptic fit. "Poor fellow," he said; "and no one knows what to do for him." It was evident that the gathering was an inactive one, and the reporter whose duty it is to investigate everything hastened to the scene and found out that a stout, well-proportioned mule had slipped on the pavement and was apparently well satisfied with his recumbent simile.

Maj. Louis Livingstone Seamon of the United States army says in his recently published book: "The medical officer is omnipresent. You will find him in countless places where in an American or British army he has no place. He is as much at the front as in the rear. He is with the screen of the scouts with his microscope and chemicals, testing and labeling well so that the army to follow shall drink no contaminated water. When the scouts reach a town he immediately institutes a thorough examination of its sanitary condition and if contagion or infection is found he quarantines and places a guard around the dangerous district. Notices are issued that the army is warned and no soldiers are billeted where danger exists. Microscopic blood tests are made in all fever cases and bacteriological experts, fully equipped, form part of the staff of every divisional headquarters. "The medical officer also accompanies foraging parties and, with the "Though the days of the long treks over trackless wastes of South Africa are past, life in this country still has little diversities peculiar to itself," writes a correspondent. "For instance, a farmer named Long was recently troubled by a leopard that had been destroying his cattle. The natives surrounded it one day in the long grass and then searched for it while searching for the brute in the tangle of vegetation Mr. Long came across him sooner than he expected and the leopard got the jump on him. There was a fierce struggle and the white man was a good deal torn up. One of his negroes got in a lucky shot and killed the leopard just before the latter got at the man's throat.

All sorts of suggestions were hurled at him, but nobody seemed to want to help him in his distress. There was danger in it. The mule was wildeyed and vicious, and used both forelegs as a battery to keep folks away from him, until at last the driver sat down on the shafts of the cart, which had been drawn away from the animal, and indulged in long, bitter thought. Just an old-colored man, wearing an old-fashioned blue army overcoat, and a red worsted comforter about his neck, stepped into the open space, walked bravely into the now quiet quadruped and took hold of both of his ears.

An irregularity of seam is often seen in the continuous suture owing to the fact that, although the needle has passed at right angle to the incision at each corner, there is an oblique upon the lips of the wound when the suture is finished.

C. For three years his confirmation has been held off by the confirmation of the old benn tillman, who disgraces the United States Senate. But each time the "senatorial courtesy" racket was played, which prevented the confirmation of Crum, President Roosevelt promptly gave him a recess appointment. The "trimmers" found to their chagrin that President Roosevelt was not one of them. There is nothing extraordinary about Dr. Crum; and there are thousands of Afro-Americans his equal, and, not a few his superior, from an intellectual standpoint; but he was fully competent to fill the position which has been shown by the fact that he has done so, in an able manner, for the past three years, and the only reason there was any objection was that he is an Afro-American. Dr. Crum will now draw his pay for the last three years all in a lump, and though he is in comfortable circumstances and is not absolutely in need of the money he doubtless will derive considerable satisfaction from receiving it. The thanks of the Afro-Americans are due to President Roosevelt for his brave manly stand which resulted in the confirmation of Dr. Crum. The Afro-American has the happy faculty of being "Charlie-on-the-Spot" quite often, as history proves, and again the other day he was there when a dastardly attempt was made by two white men in Washington to blow up the newly erected statue of Frederick the Great. An Afro-American laborer named Oldson noticed the burning fuse of the bomb, and at the risk of his life picked it up and hurled it twenty feet away, where it immediately exploded. Oldson was knocked to the ground, windows were broken and other damage done. Hurrah for Oldson.

They rewarded ex-rebels, for their treason to the Union, by issuing, to indignant ones, city licenses free, while honorable Union men had to pay. Now it seems some of the alleged indignant ex-rebels have been obtaining licenses free and then allowing other folks to do business under them. These old ex-rebars are a tough lot anyway, and they will continue to give trouble as long as any of them encumber the earth, we presume. Chinese National Visa William Edgar Geil, who has traveled much in China, thinks that the great peculiarity of the Chinaman is that he lives in a fictitious environment. To him the world is one of unrealities. He worships demons. Enormous sums of money are paid by the Chinese to locate the devil. Coal mines are not worked because it is held to be wicked to disturb the demon who lives in the bowels of the earth. "Shall we drive shafts into his back?" the Chinaman asks. One misfortune is the common use of opium. "Vast sections of the land are devoted to the poppy. On the steamboats, on the canals, in the great business houses, everywhere, men lie down and smoke opium. It is a national mania, everywhere acknowledged to be bad." How Streams Purify. An Italian scientist has lately made a detailed explanation of the accepted fact that the waters of lakes and rivers, however thoroughly infected, possess the power of purifying themselves. A great amount of bacteria, water, and sediment bottom by the precipitation of solid matter, but this is not the only purifying process. In swift currents the velocity of the stream is in itself a cleansing agent, and it has been shown that sunlight destroys bacteria in water to a depth of three feet. The obvious conclusion is that rapidly flowed streams or pond not more than three feet deep contain the purest water.

It had been bequeathed to her majesty by an old Welsh woman who "by virtue of that piece of gold had lived to the age of 120 years, and at that age, having all her body withered and consumed, she died, commanding the said piece of gold to be removed, all those that as long as she wore it on her body she could not die." TO FIT THE CRIME. Professor Evidently Approved of Com- ing "Execution." The daughter of the house was rounding away at the piano like a THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER human piledriver, and the faces of the assembled guests bore traces of acute mental anguish. Suddenly the "music" ceased, and the company, in order to remove all possibility of its resumption, burst into a salvo of applause. The proud and happy mother of the performer approached the guest of the evening, old Herr Zwillbier, who was stamping his feet and clapping his hands in a frosty morning. "And what do you think of my daughter's execution, Herr Zwillbier?" she inquired, smiling sweetly upon the old gentleman. "Your dorser's vat, matam!" he cried. "Her execution," replied the somewhat astonished boy. "'Er egsecution!' shouted the professor, 'er egsecution!' Matam, I congratulude you! Ven vos 'ee to be? Ven vos 'ee gonze off!'

Sample of Repartee at Court of the "Merry Monarch." Dr. Isaac Barrow, chaplain-in-ordinary to King Charles II, of England, was more appreciated by the "merry monarch" for his wit and vivacity than for his learning. The witty and wicked Lord Rochester once met his match in Barrow. Rochester, thinking to banter him, with a flippant ain and a low, formal bow accosted him with "Doctor, I am yours to my shootie." Barrow, perceiving his drift, returned the salute with "My lord, I am yours to the ground." Rochester quickly returned it with "Doctor, I am yours to the center." Barrow was smartly followed up by Barrow with "My lord, I am yours to the lord." Upon which Rochester disdainting to be folled by a musty old piece of divinity, as he used to call him, exclaimed, "Doctor, I am yours to the lowest pit of hell." Upon which Barrow, turning upon his heel, with a sarcastic smile replied, "There, my lord, I leave you." The Woman's Part. No matter; no matter!

While the upper classes sell the nation for a few hours of rest, and the liberals for a few hours of work, the empire, a handful of men, without arms, unprotected, rise up against the still alluring, on one hand.

By Bernard Lazare, International Library Publishing Co. Recent events in Russia have given the author a unique translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many times. The most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, subject to the Jewish tradition, plied the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased his judgment in the forming of his book, with great canon, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found in the world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the book to his people by manifest shortcomings. Equally suitable for young, people and for general readers, is the most essential principles of the construction of English verse, and its main divisions both by forms and by the development of eight of these divisions is sketched and briefly illustrated by examples, but the true character of poetry is always kept in evidence. The book will cultivate an appreciation and a love of poetic literature, and will arouse in the reader a sense of pride. Defective Page Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall.

WESTERN WATER FARMING Scientists who make it their business to look ahead into the far future are now busy telling what will happen after all the land in the United States has been put under cultivation. When there are no more quarter sections upon which the settler can establish himself, it is predicted that water farming will become a general occupation. This information is comforting to residents of Wisconsin. No state in the Union has better facilities for water farming than the one famous for the number and beauty of its lakes. When the time comes for men to fence off acre plots on the crystal waters of the inland sea Wisconsin will have to be planted with patience. Of course there will be drawbacks to water farming, but the Industry offers great possibilities. Although it will be difficult to keep one's crop of fish from being mixed with one's neighbors', there will be no plowing or harrowing, no wrestling with stumps, and no trouble over irrigation. After the fish are planted each season there will be nothing to do but to wait until harvest time. By a little diplomatic advertising water farmers may persuade city men to spend their vacations on the lakes as assistants during this harvest season. Housebats on the water farms would be ideal for the water farmers, but the not months. It is estimated that the fisheries of the United States produce food of the value of $15,000,000 every year. As soon as the water farming industry has a good start. Wisconsin will be able to add millions to this amount. If the calamity howier cannot find anything worse to prophesy about than the water farm, this state can pursue daily its business pursuits without any forebodings.-Milwaukee Sentinel. MUST DO THEIR WORK WELL. Incompetent Dentists Liable to Damages for Their Bungling. The courts are taking cognizance of the competency or incompetency of professional men. A short time ago a New York dentist was liable for unskilled, or negligent treatment of a patient and now the court of appeals of that state has rendered a decision holding a corporation liable for unskilled dental work. This corporation, according to the complaint, represents the dentist in connection with its other departments. The plaintiff, a woman, having under- gone treatment, incurred for alleged resul- tant injury and received a verdict. Apparently the defence of the corporation was that the dental business was not, in fact, carried on by it, but was owned by the dentist. But the court held that the company having held it self-out as as carrying on a dental department and the plaintiff having been ignorant of the fact that the company was not the real owner of the dental department, the corporation was estopped from making such a denial. For, under the circumstances, the court said that the plaintiff had presumption that the company would employ a skillful dentist as its servant, but also on the fact that if that servant, the dentist, whether skillful or not, was guilty of any malpractice, she had a responsible party to answer therefor in damages.—Chicago Chronicle. Testing Warnings at Sea. Twenty-five years have elapsed since Prof. Tyndall, at the instance of the Trinity House corporation, carried out a series of experiments at the South Foreland, near Dover, England, to determine the value of various sounds as warnings to the mariner of his approach to dangerous spots in thick weather. The result was a large increase in the number of fog signals all round the British coast. Much knowledge has been gained in new inventions have been made in the intervening period, and a special committee of the elder brethren of the Trinity House, assisted by Lord Rayleigh and other eminent scientists and engineers have been engaged for some time in making elaborate tests of all the latest improvements in the different kinds of apparatus for making cautionary noises. The scene of their operations is the Isle of Wight. One of their chief objects is to determine the relative merits of the various sensors. Much attention, also, has been given to the trumpet and various modifications of that instrument. Other careful experiments are to determine the carrying capacity, in certain conditions of notes of different pitch, and the effect on the dissemination of sound of the conformation of the coast line, etc. Another point to be considered is the question of the most effective and the most economical utilization of power—New York Post. France to Lay More Cables. The question of an extended system of French submarine cables, which has been so long intermittently occupying the attention of the government, now promises to come speedily to an issue. Ever since December, 1889, a special committee has been studying the matter, calling in expert advice to help them, and the result is a bill, just finished, which the government proposes shortly to present to the chamber. This bill outlines an agreement with the French cable company for the construction and care of an extended network of cables, aggregating nearly 10,000 miles in length and £6,000,000 in cost. Fools make feasts and wise men eat them. One of life's peculiarities is that the world is seldom watching a man when he is doing good. BEAUTY OF CHEERFUL FACE. Gloom Floes Before Power of a Glad Expression. How much of human life, its disquietudes, sufferings, wearying cares and its joyfulness may be learned from studying the faces run across in daily journeyings! Sometimes a sorrowful expression in a face which would otherwise attract no attention. At other times a tranquil expression — the rarest of all— gives a restful soot on the face, a fast living. And the beauty of the cheerful countenance! Even the sadest of human beings is helped on a step through the gloom by a smile. Then the joyous, merry face of childhood. Laugh with the little children; do not let the shadows reach them too soon; give them an answering smile and enter into their frolicsome moods. Something is radically wrong with the man or the woman who curl the lip in scorn and discontent, when a glad smile is on their face. No, whatever the lot in life, rejoice with those who do rejoice, and be thankful there are such in the world to keep souls fresh with the dew of youth.—Philadelphia Ledger. PREACHED FROM THE SADDLE. English Country Pareon Found Seat Aid to Inspiration. Visitors to a quaint little church in England observe a curious relic in the shape of a high stool with a leather top like a saddle. The paris clerk shows not a little pride in this relic the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the country parsons were accustomed to spend much of their time hunting with their country squires. Offentimes the fox got more attention than the sermon on the following Sunday. Such was the case with the parson, a painter, before he hind him as a retie of the days of fox-hunting parsons. He was a good deal more at home in the saddle than in the pulpit, so in order to introduce some of the life- and spirit into his discourses which he felt while in the hunting field, the reverend gentleman had his saddle stool made. It was a parson's stool, mounted the steps. Once astiride this hobby, the parson was able to reach a much higher degree of enthusiasm and eloquence that he could have unmounted. He Was One of the Quacks. He Was One of the Quacks. In 1838 Henry Brougham, not yet a peer of the realm, received a letter from Shakespeare Reed, giving him the pleasant news that he had left the kingdom to pursue legacies to relatives) in token of his appreciation of his public services. The Reed estates were situated in the West Indies, where slave labor was then employed. One day Mr. Reed, alarmed at the progress which the anti-slavery agitation was making, wrote to Brougham, earnestly urging him to put down the "political quacks" who were trying to win freedom for the slaves. Brougham angrily wrote to him, "I will himself. A fresh will was afterward made, and it is needless to say that the great advocate's name was not mentioned in it. How to Walk. There is no virtue in a dawling saunter. The slow and languid dragging one foot after the other, which some people call walking, would tire an athlete; it utterly exhausts a weak person, and that is the reason why many delicate persons think they cannot walk. To derive any benefit from the exercise it is necessary to walk with a light, elastic step, which helps the weight of the body go easily from one leg to the other that its weight is not felt, and which produces a healthy glow, showing that the shuggish blood is stirred to action in the most remote veins—Family Doctor. A NEGRO QUEEN'S NERVES. Disease of Civilization Finds Its Way Into Abhysinia. Civilization is making way in Australia. The latest innovation is—nerves, says the London Telegraph. These have been developed in Queen Taitu to a quite alarming extent, and, when King Menelik complains, she retorts that he is all for civilization, and now he has got it she hopes he likes it. "All European women," he is reported to have said, "have nerves. If they want anything they give way to nerves; if they do anything which causes them to be nervous, it is nerves; if they murder their husbands or run away with another man it is excused because they were afflicted with nerves." The latest exhibition of the nerves of the black queen was induced by the inauguration of the new railway. The Emperor announced his intention of going, and had all his best clothes brought out, including his choice umbrella, when he was arrested in the midst of his preparations for the journey he must go, too. To that the Emperor agreed, knowing that it was useless to oppose her, when she suddenly gave a shriek and went into hysterics. It then transpired that she had no new gown, and the Negus had to telegraph to Paris at once. Marmalade a Parisian Novelty A woman just back from Europe says that in Paris she noticed on a restaurant menu one day the two words "Le Dundee." She ordered it. The waiter wore a smile of suppressed triumph when he came back. "Le Dundi," he murmured insinuating, and helped her to two tablespoonfuls of her old friend, Scotch marmalade. It was a treat, and she caper in Paris now, but it is eaten at dinner, and in place of a sweet, without bread. Where Women Are Free Austria is the one country in the world which never puts a woman in prison. Instead of giving a female criminal so many months of jail, she is sent, no matter how terrible is her record, to one or other of the convents devoted to the purpose, and kept there during the time for which she is sentenced. The convent is not a mere prison in disguse, for its courtyard stands open all day long, the only bar to egress being a nurse who acts as侍ress, just as in other convents.

Wines, Liquors and Ligars . .. 40 East Third St. ST. PAUL. Legislation of Modern Civilized Countries Protects the Young. "We must interpret the laws for the protection of the young against cruelty, oppression and injustice," says Henry Van Dyke in Everybody's Magazine, "as evidence of the world's growing sense of justice. Beginning with the Factory Act of 1833 and the Mines and Collieries Act of 1842 in England, there has been a steadily increasing effort to diminish and prevent the degradation of the race by the unimprovement of childhood to labor. Even the parent's right of control, says the modern world, must be held in harmony with the child's right to life and growth, mental, moral and physical. The law itself must recognize the injustice of dealing with young delinquents as if they were old and hardened criminals. No more herding of children ten and twelve years old in the common jail! Juvenile courts and probation officers, asylums and reformatories, an intelligent and systematic effort to reclaim the young life before it has fallen into hopeless bondage to crime; this is the spirit of civilized legislation to-day. In 1903 no less than ten of the American states enacted special statutes with this end in view." NORTH STAR NEVER CHANGES. Retains Always Its Fixed Position in the Heavens. The pole star is really the most important of the stars in the sky. It marks the north at all times. It alone is fixed in the heavens. All the other stars seem to swing around it once in twenty-four hours. But the pole star of Polaris is not a very bright one, and it would be hard to identify but for the help of the so-called pointers in the Big Dipper or Great Bear. The outer rim of the dipter pointers nearly to Polaris, at a distance equal to three times the space that separates the two stars of the dipper's outer side. Various Indians call the pole star the "home star" and "the star that never moves." and the dipper they call the "broken back." The Great Bear is also to be remembered as the pointers for another reason. It is the hour hand of the woodman's clock. It goes once around the north star in about twenty-four hours, the reverse way of the hands of a watch—that is, it goes the same way as the sun and for the same reason—that it is the earth that is going and leaving them behind. Q! Had We Some Isle. O! had we some bright little isle of our own In a blue summer ocean, far off and Where a leaf never dies in the still blooming bowers. And the bee bees collect on through a whole of flowers; Where the sun loves to pause With so fond a delay This dawn night only draws A thin vell o'er the day; Where simply to feel that we breathe, Is worth the best life that life elsewhere can give. There, with souls ever ardent and pure as the clime, We shall sleep they loved in the first golden time; The glow of the sunshine, the balm of the air. Would we to our hearts and make all summer there, With affection as free The bees collect on flowers, And with hope, like the bee Living always on flowers. Our life should resemble a long day of ours. And our death come on holy and calm as the night. Nothing to Fear. A London lady who tried to climb over a stile the first day of her country vacation certainly thought she had left London a couple of hundred miles away; but she rather wished, all the same, that the country was not so densely populated, and she turned an appealing look upon the rustic gaffer who insisted on watching her climb. A broad grin spread over his countenance as he caught her meaning. "Lor' bless ye. mum, don't be shy before me!" he adjured her; "I was a 'bus conductor for fifteen years'!"—San Francisco Argonaut. Fishing on the Dogger Bank. Fishermen discovered the value of the Dogger bank so late as the last half of last century. As early as the days of Henry VII British ships were fishing off the coasts of Iceland and laying the foundation of future voyages of arctic discovery in order to get salt cod for consumption on fast days and in Lent. They, as well as the Dutch, were in frequent collision with Danish fishing fleets on the same errand in the sixteenth century. Yet this veritable gold mine on the Dogger within 100 miles of England's coast lay neglected. STRAY THOUGHTS. Say little, look wise and all your neighbors will flock to you for advice. Many a man imagines he is in love when it is only his liver out of order. Man who knows himself thoroughly has the key which will unlock all knowledge. Generous impulses will keep one warm and comfortable, even in freezing weather. Sugar-coat your words before turning them loose upon your unoffending fellow-men. Save your scowls for your enemies. Be cheerful when surrounded by the home circle. He who gives cheerfully of genuine charity finds an ever-flowing fountain from which to draw. Make a practice of doing some act of kindness every day until the habit grows on you and stays with you. He who stops to help a tottering brother over the rough places arrives quicker than he who rushes headlong down the lane of life. If your friends believe you to be poor, they will conspire to keep you poor. If they think you rich, they will all try to make you rich. Don't let your daughter marry any man who is unkind to dumb animals. 44 We, a jury composed cigar values, find that Judge Harlan Cigar, 10 cents from every Judge 5¢ C HART & MURPHY, The "New Brew" The Finesl Bottle Beer Hamm's a jury composed of men who know values, find that the plaintiff, the Harlan Cigar, is entitled to recoverents from every smoker.

Few women are dumb, you know, and if he is unkind to dumb animals, he will be a brute when she talks back at him. The meat man stakes his reputation. Probably the best judge couldn't try lard A vain repetition—in many a person's mirror. The crook seems only to follow his natural bent. Dentists pull through by filling a long-felt want. A special delivery letter is what you might call well-posted. The tailor's motto ought to be, "What a man sews," etc. Whatever you do, don't make too much ado over an adieu. A man doesn't like to have his better half love him half-heartedly. To wear a train gracefully a woman must know how to draw conclusions. Even the man who is letting his beard grow sometimes has a close shave. The tattooed man may not be at all worried by having an elephant on his hands. There are times when the best photographer can not throw light on the subject. Years ago the school teacher had tc board around in order to get a square meal—Philadelphia Bulletin. Most people are all right—in theory. Don't sit on another man's point of view. Flattery is the tool with which to pry open a woman's heart. The reformer sometimes merely succeeds in stirring up the mud. Lend and the world lends with you; borrow and you borrow a loan. Even the black sheep of the family may masquerade as spring lamb. A bad habit grows like a weed; a good one requires as much care as an orchid. When an opportunity meets the right man the world begins to talk about luck. Every man should know himself, even though he may be ashamed of the acquaintance. Every girl of sixteen makes up her mind what sort of man she is going to marry, but she doesn't. BRAIN LEAKS. Brave men are always afraid to do wrong. Determination never shakes hands with doubt. Some men who think they are frank are only rude. You cannot get close to God by drawing apart from your neighbor. When you hear a church member complaining of something the preacher said we are moved to believe that the preacher is doing some good. "Every boy must sow his wild oats" is a quotation responsible for a large share of the sin and misery of the world. There is no more reason why a boy should sow wild oats than that a girl should put in a crop of the same grain.—The Commoner. The Elevated in Boston. Boston opened its elevated railroad recently and there was a great rush to patronize it. It crosses the congested parts of the city and will greatly relieve the crowded street cars, which latterly were unable to carry all who wanted to ride.
