HAVING FUN IN MONTANA RELICS OF THE CONFEDERACY --- SPEED OF RAILWAY TRAINS IN SWEDEN'S CAPITAL CITY LITTLE WORTHY TO OFFER VOL. 21. NO. 45. "In the mining country of Montana we have to deal with that curious species of man that comes from Cornwall and contiguous sections of Merrie England, and we have our hands full," declared Shad Buller, Westerster, to a New York Sunday Telegraph man. "Those Cornish miners are the limit. Among the innumerable things they do not know is the art of driving. A man reaches the height of opprobrium when he says that some other man knows no more about driving than a Cornishman. There is usually a fight in the street and the argument. And the well-known inability of the Cornish section of the population was formerly the cause of one of the weirdest spectacles Montana presented, even in the old mining camp days. "When one of Cornwall's former citizens dies it is the custom to preserve the remains in some fashion until Sunday, when all of his compatriots have a day off and all can attend the funeral. Next to getting drunk, the average Cornish miner enjoys a funeral more than anything else in the world. "In Butte fifteen or twenty years ago a Cornish funeral was a sight to behold. I have frequently seen 500 car- In a fireproof vault, opening from a small room on the third floor of the treasury department in Washington, are the manuscript archives which set forth the diplomatic efforts of the confederacy to secure recognition as a member of the family of nations, to obtain means to establish an army and navy and to bring about foreign intervention, according to the Jacksonville (Fla.) Metropole. Washington contains other little-known but important roles of the confederacy. Among the most important are the "Pickett Papers." When the most important of the confederate archives were removed from Richmond the diplomatic correspondence was hidden in a barn in Virginia. Later the papers were brought in four trunks from Richmond to Washington by Col. John T. Pickett, their custodian. Failing in his efforts to dispose of them, he took them to Canada and there, in 1872, they were purchased for the use of the United States. Congress appropriated $75,000 in payment and they were brought to Washington. In answer to our question as to the speed of passenger trains, the Hon. Martin F. Knapp, chairman of the Interstate commerce commission, says that, within limits, the whole question is one of conditions, and adds: "The rate of speed entirely safe on one line might be positively dangerous on another, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly. The varying circumstances on different lines would seem to preclude any rule of general application." President Rhipley of the Sauta Fe road—who recently caused a special train to be run between Los Angeles and Chicago in record-breaking time—says that the only difference in a fast train is that the fast train is much fewer cars than the slow train, and that, having none of the dead weight, represented by express and mail cars of the slow trains between the engine and the passenger cars, the passengers on the shorter train are more liable to injury in case of accident. President Wilcox of the Delaware and Hudson road, thinks there is a tendency to operate freight trains much too rapidly, though his road has a From Sweden's capital an enthusiastic visitor writes: "The sky has an almost Italian radiance, as the sun shines clear and bright on the glittering levels of the lagoon that divide the new town from the old. Across the water, on which a fleet of white ferryboats ply, rises the broad front of the palace, the stern outline of which is relieved by the russet glow which time has lent to the brickwork. In front of the palace runs a broad quay crowded with shipping, behind which one may catch peeps of narrow, winding streets, with sloping roofs and painted houses bent with age. The square front of the palace rise above the red and white walls, seeming to belong to the old city. On my right the waters narrow to a swift rushing stream, over which a stately bridge has been thrown, uniting the palace with the picturesque pile of the opera house, or rather with the broad square in which it stands. Behind the opera house lie broad streets of modern LITTLE WORT Lord, it is utterly nothing, nothing I bring to thee; Thou hast let the light of thy heaven I thought I had wealth and worth to bring, and a portion of love and bliss; Nor dreamed the whole of my beautiful store could shrivel and fade to this.

Whose branches might sweeten and brighten the Marm of misery. it is finished, my useless striving, my struggles for worth of my own; riages in the procession to the cemetery. The mourners, all comfortably filled with the drink that cheers, would ride sedately to the cemetery, a mile or so from town, and when the remains were safely interred the fun would start. Six and seven abreast, these wild miners would race back to town, urging their teams to the utmost. "As stated, in that country a Cornishman is said not to know how to drive, and as these funeral antics were well-known characteristics of the species, each livery stable in town would have representatives along the road to intercept the returning miners and take the teams from them. The livery-man would meet the man who hired his team on the road, throw him on the ground, and take the team back to the stable, return it back to recover another team. It was a common thing for five or six horses to be killed during the course of one of these Sunday jamborees, and after a while the liverymen refused to trust the miners with their teams and the funerals were deprived of their most spectacular and attractive feature, to the minds of the miners." They remained in their original trunks until a short time ago, when they were transferred to specially constructed chests of polished pine. In another small, dark room in the Treasury building stand seven large packing boxes, filled with confederate money, a portion of which was captured from southern banks and from confederate soldiers and which was forwarded through the war department to the treasury. The larger share of it was collected by treasury agents, who conducted the cotton business of the United States in 1864 and succeeding years. Every variety of confederate note or bill may be found in the archives. Among the confederate archives there is a scrapbook containing a lithograph copy of the letter written by Pope Pius IX to Jefferson Davis, replying to Davis' letter thanking the pope for his open letter to the archbishop of New York and New Orleans, urging them to endeavor to restore peace. This is about the only one of the relics of the collection which visitors are permitted to inspect. record of not having killed a passenger during the last eleven years. President Underwood of the Erie road compares a fast train to a skyscraper, saying that a man who falls from the top of such a building receives injuries no greater than does a man who falls from the fifth story. President Barr of the Seaboard Air lime, says that high-speed trains receive more care and greater protection than slow train trains do, as all employees are required to facilitate and protect the movement of high-speed trains to the utmost. G. M. Basford, editor of the American Engineer and Railroad have a more uniform installation of the signaling system, as in England, we should not greatly increase the speed of trains. And yet, asked why it is that the fatalities on English railways are so much smaller than on American railways. President Newman of the New York Center said: "I do not believe there is any such great disproportion in fatalities on roads in this country and in England, considering the differences in conditions. It is, indeed, impossible to make a fair or just or intelligent comparison." houses, in which there are unexpected glimpses of waterways crowded with shipping.

It is indeed the city of a thousand islands and rocky reefs, which are sown broadcast many miles beyond the mainland where the lakes and river join the sea.

ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1905. If you had annually $1,000,000 or so to spare and wanted to balance your account with the world by giving it away, how would you go about the task? Of the many hundred men and women in the United States whose fortunes aspire toward seven, eight, and nine figures, several notable ones have put this question seriously to themselves, and have answered it by going as gravely about the business of giving away money wisely as they went about its accumulation. And a mighty business it has become, this business of philanthropy, when it is remembered that in America—the domain of the dollar not more than of the helping hand—nward of $80,000 a year is given away, of which shining Niagara $40,000,000 rise in New York and empty thence into the ever-widening sea of want. Spacious as are these figures, it is prophesied by the Charity Organization Society that the mighty stream will be swollen beyond the average this year, sequential to several cloudburst donations made by individual persons. But how, to repeat, do our men of millions give away their money? First handed and as the mood strikes them, or methodically? Methodically, in a word, and with such painstaking care that many call but few are chosen as objects of wholesale charity. Miss Helen Gould, with the intelligent assistance of Miss Elizabeth Altman, annually disburses $600,000 in charity. Probably Miss Gould supports more charities than any person living. This is conceded by the Charity Organization Society. While it does not mean that she gives away such sums as are recorded of the Rockefeller and Carnegie charities, on the best authority her donations annually reach five hundred or more beneficiaries, very few of whom are aware of even the existence of Miss Altman. Yet to her most of them may return thanks. Miss Altman probably receives $6,000 a year, and, considering her responsibility and the amount of work she manages to accomplish, she earns her salary. For Miss Altman is the directing and directing energy of nearly all the endowments and donations made by Miss Gould. She it is who reads the thousands of begging letters directed to her employer, only one in a hundred of which ever passes beyond the secretary. Consequently the fate of nearly every applicant may be said to rest with Miss Altman. A favorable word from her means generally the granting of an appeal and very often her disapproval of the feasibility of a proposed benevolence is its death warrant so far as aid from this source is concerned. Miss Altman is a Vassar graduate, and first met her present employer some seven years ago when Miss Gould was visiting the college. Since then she has been an active agent in giving away nearly $4,000,000. Every check signed by Miss Gould is made out by her secretary. Some days an average of two hundred begging letters are received and read by this busy almoner, and an astonishing *sameness* characterizes most of them. Were she given to talking you might believe with her that there are only a few primal tales of woe in the world, and upon those the changes are rung over and over again in the same key by thousands of of which it is by no means surprising that large percentage of such letters are consigned to the ample waste baskets awaiting their reception on both sides of her desk. During one week recently Miss Gould—or rather her secretary—received applications for sums of money aggregating nearly $2,000,000. In the case of Russell Sage alms and the man seem widely divergent. He is the last person to whom one would look for an item not nominated in the bond. But his wife is diligent in doing good. She is an active mem- *Superstition Cures Poker Habit.* "He's the most superstitious poker player I ever saw." MISS HELEN M COULD JAOOD M. SCHIFF number of several boards for charitable work, and concerns herself with many individual cases. Breakfast and business—charitable business—are daily combined in the Sage household by the reading of such mail as reaches there on the early morning delivery. One morning recently, according to a family acquaintance, a letter arrived from a charity organization sorely in need of $3,000 Mrs. Sage read the letter aloud, and laying apologetically in required into the object for which the money was intended, explained it to her husband in detail, ending with a suggestion that they give the money. Mr. Sage said nothing. But, breakfast over, he sought the library and wrote out a check for the amount asked. Handling it to his wife he cautioned her to get the check cashed herself, and to give the actual money instead of any paper with his name written thereon. Asked to name the best—wisest—philanthropists of his acquaintance, a manager of the Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association of New York, who has spent twenty years in gathering and distributing large sums toward charity,promptly mentioned Jacob H. Schiff, James Speyer, and Morris K. Jossup. This classification was confined to general charitable and philanthropic donations made in the most judicious manner. At the head of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., was declared a model philanthropist as defined by his generosity, the way in which it is performed, and his admirable discrimination. His methods of giving are simple and impersonal and are rarely studied long. He is easily approached on behalf of charity, and seldom falls to respond when the object is a worthy one. This same charity manager instanced an experience he had had in calling on Mr. Schiff in behalf of a person whose name began with the letter L. A secretary went to a cabinet and extracted a package of individual reports all beginning with the records of hundreds of cases relieved of the burden. According to his means, Jacob Schiff is credited with giving more to charity, at least to more causes, than any other man living. If Darius O. Mills, whose hotels are among the most successful charitable institutions in existence, has a governing motto in his philanthropies, it is probably a wish to help those who wish to help themselves. On the other hand, Charles M. Schwab, whose name is connected with no greatly advertised charities, gives liberally, and without asking questions, to such highly persons as come under his eye. His work, in approaching completion in this city, will ultimately, it is announced, revert to the city as an art gallery or hospital.

Special Correspondence THE APPEAL. Washington, Nov. 8—When John L. Butler, "the hot sandwich man" died recently, a veritable human landmark of old Washington passed away. Butler was born in Georgetown in 1831, the son of a prominent importance and sailing ships came up the Potomac with cargoes of every description. In the 50's he was known as "John Butler, the hack driver." He owned a team, and his passages were often referred to as "the driver to tell me things in the old time, in his time John "hacked" many noted men. One of his regular customers was Samuel Ward, familiar known as "Uncle Sam," who was among famous at Weller's at that time the Deimoncer's of Washington. Mr. Ward was the medium through which Butler came in touch with a number of the great men of this nation. Among these were Secretary of War General George W. G. S. Grant, Gen. Robert E. Schenck, Senator Bayard, William M. Evarts, Thad Stevens, J. Ward McAllister, a member of a member of the General, also Sir Edward Thornton, British minister, of these and others rode in Butler's hack at different times and praised the old man for his courteous attention. On one occasion when Gen. Grant reached Washington unexpectedly to his friends and early in the morning, he drove the hero of Appomattox from the Baltimore and Ohio depart to his home, then on I street near New Jersey avenue northwest. Gen. Grant handed Butler a $5 bill, but the driver refused to accept more than his right to ride. He was shoved the money in his pocket. "General, I would not have missed this job for $50." Butler lived continuously in the district from the day of his birth seventy-four years ago. Mrs J Kelly Armstead gave a song recital Thursday evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E.

The campaign for new members at the Y. M. C. A. opened. Two parties, the "backs" and the "blues" were formed to oppose the plan. The plan outlined by the speakers is to add 1,000 members to the rolls of the Y. M. C. A. before January. No attempt will be made to secure Afro-American members as it seems that these Christians are largely theorists in religious matters. The meek and the strong are not race but these Washington Y. M.

He was born in Northumberland county, Va. where he spent $2.40 PER YEAR. the early part of his life. At an early age he enlisted in the United States navy, serving through the war of the rebellion. He continued his service in the navy for more than twenty years, then received an honorable discharge. During this period he visited many parts of the world. He was a patron and dining room business on E Street, between 12th and 13th streets northwest. This business continued for seventeen years at the expiration of which, on account of falling health, he retired from active life. He has for thirty-five years been active in local Masonic circles, being a member of Pipinagoras Lodge, a fellow of the Society, been the treasurer for more than fifteen years, likewise took an active part in church work, and was a deacon in the Zion Baptist Church at the time of his death.

TUSKEGEE REPORT. Twenty-fourth Annual Statement n20681 The twenty-fourth annual report of Booker T. Washington, Principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute at Tuskegee, Ala., has just been issued. It deals with the affairs of the institute for the year ended May 31, 2014. Mr. Washington says it should be borne in mind that the Tuskegee institute is a public institution supported by the people, and it should always be open to the inspection of the public. He then goes into details and states that during the past year 1,504 students were enrolled in all departments, 1,000 men and 504 women. This does not mean that all students of 56 in night schools, 25 in Bible classes, or 11 in cooking schools. These swell the total number of students to 1,790. Instruction in Agriculture. A number of Afro-American farmers in Macon county, in which the school is located, receive instruction in agriculture in a short winter course and in farmers' meetings. The number of students from the normal and industrial departments is 885, scattered throughout the United States. They are mainly housekeepers, teachers in classrooms, and of industries and mechanics, and farmers. Scores are in professional life. Besides those who have received diplomas and certificates at least 6,000 who were not able to complete the courses have been helped. The financial report, Mr. Washington-says, shows that the cash indebness at the close of the last year was $43,381.72, and this has been reduced to $25,398.58. The current expenses were $707.77, but for the year deal with in the report (1904-05) the expenses had been reduced to $192,152.63, and in this spite of the enlarged operations and better work. On the basis of total enrollment, the cost per capita for the past year was $117; on the basis of average attendance $141. The receipts pay current expenses and settle areears of past year, and $101,827.51 was received for additions to the permanent plant in the way of buildings, equipments and for special purposes. Value of the Plant The plant of the institute consists of 2,300 acres of land and 83 buildings, and is valued at $31,853.32. This does not include 2,250 acres of public land remaining unsold from the 25,000 acres granted by Congress and valued at $10,000. The amount that has been increased during the year by $18,703.83, making the total amount of the fund now on hand $1,949.614. During the year a bequest of $38,000 was made to the institute by the will of Mary E. Shaw an Afro-American woman of Yonkers. A new dining hall is referred to, and Mr. Washington states that it has been determined to raise funds for a new one which will cost $65,000, and of the sum all has been pledged or paid in cash except $7,000. The result of this effort is the scope of the industries of the institute, of the value of co-operation by the education of the Afro-American and of the needs of the institute, among which are $15,000 for a drainage and sewerage system, $10,000 for a laboratory, $10,000 for a technical department, and $10,000 to complete the boys' trades building $6,000, for teachers' cottages, and $20,000 for two dormitories, and makes mention of the deaths of several members of the board of trustees during the year. Washington thanks the trustees for their hearty support and cooperation. HAVE YOUR READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL. A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

A pretty fair sprinkling has gone to the Northern cities as shown by the increase in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. 2. Many are attending schools and colleges. 3. Many have bought farms of their own. 4. Many are employed in the lumber mills, mines, oil mills and various other industries recently developed in the state. 5. Many are teaching, preaching, practicing law and medicine, conducting banks, stores and restaurants and many are in the civil service. We may add that the old positions are open to anybody that wants a job. The results of Tuesday's elections are graftifying in some instances and deplorable in others.

Among his friends and neighbors, a part of the confluence which has maintained him in the house, Joseph Hopkins, a former poem for the presidency was launched by Senator A. J. Hopkins at a banquet in Hoopeston, Ill. The move was unexpected, and Mr. Cannon, having occupied an earlier position in the Senate, had a chance express his views on the matter. Senator Hopkins introduced his remarks by dwelling upon the prosperity of the poets in national offices, paying would have been glad for Republicans to have won in every case but that was out of the question. We are very sorry to lose Cincinnati and Cleveland as some of our Afro-American cities down to downtown elsewhere. The result in Chicago is very gratifying as every Republican was elected by large majorities. The most gratifying result was the defeat in Maryland of the Poe amendment which was designed to disfranchise African-Americans, and the victory will fully offset the defeats in other localities. The majority against the infamous measure was over 20000. The Columbia State offers this suggestion to the authorities of South Carolina: "A white man has been arrested in Laurens for a brutal assault with inculpation in not him. Give these criminals, when convicted, more severe punishment than a $150 fine." While we are aware of the fact that things were managed somewhat loosely in South Carolina, we supposed that the trouble was non-enforcement of the law, in deference to the public sentiment. Since we have learned the fact from so reliable a source, we can assume that the police are direct their steps to South Carolina.

"Any two Afro-Americans are worth more to the manufacturer as day laborers than any three native white men." "Skilled Afro-American workmen are more to us than any Southern white labor that we have been able to secure." --- Two state insurance commissioners, Vandiver of Missouri and Moon of Arkansas have demanded that the money squandered by McCall the head swiper of the New York Life Insurance Company he covered into the treasury of the state, for the resignation of McCall and his associate looters. Vandiver's demand is backed up by the penalty that if not compiled with the company will not be allowed to transact business in Missouri. We are glad that such action has been taken and hope that the penalty will be alleviated, although it is far less than such villainy demands. The discouraging thing about the news of typhnings and ill-treatment of the Afro-American people in the South is that it upsets all our plans for posing as a nation of Christians. We preach and pray moralize; spend thousands to build churches and milieus; we call all we are confronted by such savages as the Texans who recently petitioned compliments to former Controller of the Currency James H. Eckels, who also was present. He said: "He represented that Illinois occupies a place in the forefront of our national government, and especially that when the Doreothe Roosevelt leaves his office because of the legal limitation we have a man here tonight who is fitted to take his place." He bowed to Speaker Cannon, and his 200 hearers rose from their seats and shouted in approval of his remarks. The governor of that state to be allowed to lynch Afro-Americans charged with crime. These petitioners are anarchists even though they have not enough to know what the name means. The Boston Herald says: "Why doesn't Vardaman stop holering, now that the Presidential train has passed without invading Mississippi? There seems to be no further occupation for Vardaman foaming at the mouth." The Herald shows a lamentable ignorance of political skulduggery as practiced down South. Vardaman is hollowing to stimulate the hill-billows to send him to the U. S. Senate and foaming because the red-necks and one-gallus fellers admire such tactics. The scramble in Georgia over the nomination for Governor impresses the Dublin Dispatch thus: Every time the discussion about Negro disfranchisement becomes warm, the Negro schools experience a big influx of scholars. There are twice as many Negro entrances as fall as last. Why? Qualifying as voters. The Dublin referred to is not the metropolis of Ireland but a small town in Georgia. The people that sat in darkness saw a great light. It is delightful to observe the distraction in the Democratic party now on in Georgia. Hoke Smith and Tom Watson are confronted by Clark Howell and Sam Jones. It will be remembered that Cleveland selected Hoke Smith as a cabinet officer on account of his honesty and ability in avirudu-pois weight-350 pounds net. Tom Watson joined Jones and their spread-buzzed armies and their main fire through Georgia will eclipse anything since the days of Sherman. --- Senator A. J. Hopkins has nominated Speaker Cannon for President and if "Uncle Joe" enters the ranks he will have the support of Illinois, and if nominated by the party he would be elected. Hon. Joseph G. Cannon is a strong man. It is said that most of the laws passed by the last Alabama legislature are unconstitutional and there is nothing surprising about the fact. Southern legislatures are composed of men who think of nothing and know nothing but how to make Jim Crow laws and scoop boodle. Oregon is entitled to two Senators and two Representatives in Congress. But as one Senator and both Reporter are to be blocked toward the jug, Senator Fulton will probably be the only Representative of the state. It's a good deal easier to pray for the preacher than to pay for the preaching. The reward of mastering one difficulty is to meet another. THE BIRTHPLACE OF TENNYSON FLAWS IN MEDICAL EDUCATION TWO HORSE-TRADING STORIES There is rather a startling reminiscence of the old days of the bicycle craze in a paragraph written recently by Col. P. H. H. Massy in the Geographical Journal. Col. Massy has done a great deal of exploring in Aslatic Turkey and in one of the fastnesses of that country he came across a memento of the late Frank Lenz, the American bicyclist who was wheeling around the world when he was murdered in this little-known section of the world. Col. Massy says: "It was now October. A blinding snow with bitter wind served as a reminder of the altitude and advancing season. From the lake a route was followed to Kale (Alasghir). Along here fairly many tracks cross into Transcancasia. It was here that an official asked my opinion of American-made revolver. There was a revolver on it which showed that it had been presented to Frank Lenz by some American bicycle club. I returned it with the remark that it was a good revolver which might hang. At my unexpected reply the official's companions looked at him curiously while he appeared visibly agitated. Frank Lenz had been murdered near here a couple of years before while on a bicycle tour the world and I knew the story. Up to now this individual was under the impression that the inscription was either the maker's name or an ornament." The proposed walk of four and a quarter miles was caught up by other cheerful and aged ones, until eleven starters had volunteered, says September Outing Magazine. It is to be said of them that Dr. Osler's heedless rebellion against the fire to do with the fire of enthusiasm which swept these pedestrians into their project. The ladies had a cup of tea by way of preliminary ceremony, and were then persuaded to stand in column to be photographed. The man with the camera was chosen for the task, Jeremiah Merritt Greene, who has been making pictures in the Middle West for fifty years. Then the signal was given for the start and the eleven entries tripped away at a lively gait. Many of those who followed them gave it up and went home after a few blocks because their legs ached. Early in the pilgrimage several of the venerable walkers had to be held in check. It was hoped that all of them would finish, and, therefore, the amazing energy of the leaders threatened to tire out the others. Two miles were covered as cheerfully as if this were a picnic party, and there were no laggards. Sowersby estate, with the rectory where Tennyson was born, is in the market, and its sale will be an event to lovers of the poet. The room in which the poet first saw the light overlooks the lawn, and the church, perhaps the God's house of "The Two Voices," where his father officiated, stands on a low hill opposite the house. The garden is full of associations of "In Memoriam," but it should be remembered that the trees are not as they were in Tennyson's time—"the towering sycamores" and "the poplars four" have gone, and the whole place is a wilderness. "A gray old grange," the reputed residence of "The Northern Farmer," stands close to the rectory, so close indeed, that young Alfred Tennyson, by reaching out of one of the rectory windows, could steal the apple tarts from the pantry of Barber, the tenant. Dr. Franklin says if he were asked in what respect the medical education of forty years ago was most deficient he would name three particulars: (1) Preliminary examinations; (2) obstetrics; (3) administration of anaesthetics. And he would give precisely the same answer if asked this question regarding the status of the recent graduate to-day. He at once dismisses the idea of implied lack of progress by stating that progress has been made, but further advances are eminently desirable. With the first of these points we believe no one will disagree; possibly some, at least in this country, would not assign the other to such great importance, though the lack of knowledge regarding anaesthetics is shamefully apparent. Dr. Franklin considers a requirement of twenty obstructive cases as only "trifling with the Every one who ever lived on the banks of the Kennebec river has heard of "Jim" Keagan, a shrewd Irishman, who thirty years ago was making lots of money buying Prince Edward Island horses and bringing them to Maine, where he always found a good market. He was a great friend and admirer of James G. Blaire, who took pleasure in riding with him behind a good pair of roadsters. On one occasion "Jim" had out a horse for the inspection of a possible purchaser. As usual, he had a good story to tell. Finally the visitor asked Mr. Keagan his price. "Five hundred dollars," was his prompt reply. "I will give you a hundred and a quarter," was the response. "Jim" poked him over. "Just a monster," was the all done, cocked his hat in a manner peculiar. And it came to pass that the Hamlet troupe was stranded at a water tank twenty miles from the nearest farmhouse. A roving tramp crept out of the shadows and, approaching the leading man, said: "Mister, are you really Hamlet?" "Yes," relied the barnstormer, "but I wish you the ghost." "Why so?" "Ghosts don't get hungry."-Columbus Dispatch. Interesting light is thrown on the origin of horseshoes in another portion of the same account: "Some of those ancient roads suggest at once the thought of how horses' hoofs were treated in those days for passage over such great blocks of smooth stone. It would appear that they were not shod. In endeavoring to solve the question as to when horseshoes were first used I made inquiries at the Quirinal museum in Rome last autumn and found that it was apparently in *Marcus Aurelius*'s Arculium the proof lies in his own equestrian statue in that museum, where his horse's uplifted foot shows the shoe with six nails, whereas previous sculpture only gives the uncovered hoof." It is little the Turk knows of germs. Col. Massy writes again: "On all the roads followed abundance of water is as a rule available. It is one of the delights of the wild life associated with travel in most parts of Turkey in Asia that inviting streams' and springs follow or cross one's path incessantly; indeed, water absorbs the place in conversation in that country which health does in this. The Turk is quite a judge of water as far as 'lightness' and 'heaviness' are concerned—that is, digestibility or otherwise—although he cares but little microbes or fewer germs it may contain. As a rule, the water is pure and excellent almost everywhere." A few blocks from the goal, Mrs. Maria Mueller, aged 80, who was one of the impetuous ones that had to be hold back in the earlier stretches, began 'to do a skipping step along the pavement, as if she were . . . coming "down the middle" in an old-fashioned Virginia reel. An able partner in Mrs. Susan Deckhart, also carrying the burden of 80 years, and between these two the arder of competition flamed so high that they started off together on a lively trot for the mish. It was a "dead heat" between the pair, and first honors were thus divided. The others trailed in after them in the best of spirits, all rowing that they were by, and the actual walking time for the party averaged one hour and forty-five minutes for four and a quarter miles. Every one of these old ladies is the mother of a large and sturdy family. Their consensus of opinion concerning their vigor in old age was that they worked hard in their homes all their lives, had never "bothered their heads about dieting," and early in life had adopted the rule of "early to bed and early to rise." The average age of these eleven matriarchs is 78 years. A little way from Sowersby is "the brook that swerves to left and right thro' meadowy curves," passing in its course three mills, one of which may have suggested certain points in the landscape of "The Miller's Daughter." It is also the subject of the poem known as "The Brook." On the same page is "The Wild Glen," a wild and shady, which is called "Holy-Glen Wilen." Here Tennyson wrote "Byron Is Dead." It is, not improbably, the "dreadful hollow" which grinds and clings its leafless ribs and iron horns, and should appeal to readers of "Maud." Not far away is Mablethorpe, perhaps the "lovers' bay" mentioned in "The Golden Supper," and the seaside resort where Tennyson for the first time saw "the roaring roaring ractes." Splishy is within Sir John Franklin was born, is within easy walking distance. subject." What would he say regarding institutions which require only two? The trend toward the production of specialists is listed as one of the most startling facts of the day in connection with medical education. The development of specialism is explained in two ways: (1) The severe competition in practice which the young graduate must meet; (2) the demand of the public for specialists. The people should be educated in this regard. Specialism, even as now practiced, is considered on the whole as yielding good practical results; the public could from it receive more good if they were not so willing to avoid in its practice. One element, the advertising 'fraudulent' specialist, should be eliminated; this practice, rampant though it is in England, is believed there to be less general than in America.—American Medicine. to himself and replied, in his characteristic manner: "My friend, that is a h—] of a drop, but he is his owner. On another occasion "Jim" bought a one horse from one of the nearby towns and agreed to give $300 for him. The horse was brought to the stable yard, and "Jim" counted out $300 in gold, and, taking the halter, asked if that was all right. The seller denounced that there should be 50 cents more for the halter. "You ask 50 cents for that halter?" asked "Jim." "Yes" came the reply. "Well, let's see how much you get," and, taking the bills back as if to recount them, he passed the man 50 cents for the halter, which he slipped from the head of the fiery horse, and remarked that he guessed he would only take the halter and did not care for the horse.

A Belgian statistician has amused himself by calculating the cost to the country of parliamentary oratory, and that of noise, and even of silence in parliament, for, according to him, each second of a sitting costs the same amount, and silence is paid for, during the sitings, as dearly as speech, he says the Philadelphia Lodge. He calculates that each hour of the sitings of the Belgian chamber costs 7,286 franc, each minute 12.143 franc and each second something more than 2 francs. Starting from this basis he calculates that the words of the presiden­tion "Gentlemen, the sitting has commenced" costs about 5 franc. A laugh for which, when uttered in his presence, he could find no reason, was timed by him to cost 6 francs 10 centimes. "Marks of approval on many benches" cost as much as £2 or £3; a suitably "prolonged movement" cannot be produced at less than 18 or 25 francs, "Ironical cheers at the left" are exceedingly costly, while "loud approval at the right" runs to a price beyond all reason. He notes that a few days ago the applause from the government benches at the end of a speech of the railway minister does exactly as a sitting of three hours, which was occupied by three indifferent speakers, cost £2679.50 franc; or close on to £1,000. Patti could be heard in Brussels' for a sum, he declares; or grand opera, claque and all, be had for less! The tourist from Cincinnati rolled back his copious girth in the tiny stool of the Tokio tea house, while through the carven latticework the tinkle of a samisen came in alluring cadence over an expanse of stunted pearls. "This is all to the Pierre Lotti" he mused. "And yonder comes a dalty geisha girl to take my order. I will speak to her in the poetry of the land. "Oh. fudge!" said the geisha girl in limpid English. "I just graduated from Barnard college, and I prefer the Pallasades or the Catskills." Then to the kitchen she ordered. "Draw one!" "Who was he?" asked the Jap madem, with polite interest. "Seems to me I've heard of him, but I'm reading Huxley and Emerson just now." Listening again, the tourist discovers that the tinkle of the samisen was only the sound from the shuttles of a cotton mill. Wheeler, at that time the advance agent of a minstrel company, had returned to New York before the close of the theatrical season, and a friend, meeting him on Broadway, asked him how he had found business.

F. at Holcomb Hall Minnesota Tuesday night was a decided success in every way and was declared by the Minnesota people who were present the largest entertainment ever given in that hall. The ladies were in the hall and when the grand march was led by Judge Johnson and partner there was a most beautiful sight with over seventy-five couples in line. The early part of the evening was devoted to a musicale of which the program was as follows: Overture, Robison-Welch Orchestra; Address, W. W. McCarthy; Less Elegance," Adina and Margaret Ambass; bass solo," In the Heart of the Mighty Deep," Mr. Edgar J. Murphy; piano solo," Rustles of Spring," Mrs. Blissmark "Archer; soprano solo," My Dream of Love," Mrs. Arthur McDonnell; piano solo," The Shepherd King," Mr. Leon L. Diggs; quartette," Under the Anheuser Bush," The Adams Quartette; finale, Robison-Welch Orchestra. Much interest was evinced in the Robison-Welch orchestra this week, when each of it is but faint praise to say the fullest expectations were realized. The members are all first class musicians and scored a decided success. Every performer on the program "made each one was warmly and conservatively applauded. Both St. Paul and Minnesota turned out in a very satisfactory manner. Everything moved as smoothly as if oiled for the occasion and every one was loud in praise of the pleasant affair. The refreshments were served in a very nice way by the ladies of the S. M. T. but they were a little handicapped by not getting into the refreshment room soon enough as it was being used by a lodge. Taken to the theater it was a fine affair by the members of the Order and of the arrangements committee may congratulate themselves upon their success.

Why the Tones Was Fined The late Judge "Biff" Hall of Chicago took great delight in telling the following story of "Punch" Wheeler. "Very bad," said "Punch;" "so bad that the only way we could pay the members of the troupe was to fine them. It worked splendidly, too; and by the time we reached Texas the manager had squared up with the whole company excepting the chap that there was no chance to find fault with his actions. At Galveston Mr. Tenor sang for his solo The Lighthouse by the Sea; and for an encore responded with "Over the Hills to the Poorhouse." That gave the boss the opportunity he was looking for and he levied on the singers' part of the song for telling the business we were playing route to the show."—Judge.

Baker of Louisville, according to the Milwaukee Sentinel. “The residents are the descendants of the old families who came to Kentucky when that state was landed and bloody ground” and who fought to make the state what it is to-day. They have no land to sell to foreigners, they have no uniness to do with them, therefore the foreign population settles elsewhere. I presume the same condition of affairs will be found in these same counties fifty years from now. "Not anywhere else in this country can there be found a settlement which is more truly. American. When you stop to consider the number of nationalities one meets gathered together in almost every part of the country, the way these Kentuckians have managed to keep to themselves is little less than any other state in the union, anyway. In two counties there they have never held a coroner's inquest. They have a coroner in each county, but they contend that it is not necessary to hold an inquest over the remains of a man who is killed if you know how he was killed. They always know how the dead ones are killed. In these same counties I do not believe they have ever held court without a company or assassin, but they have not been accustomed to settling their own troubles with the rifle and the shotgun that they cannot accustom themselves to the vengeance of the law in place of that of the individual." A New Definition. Former Mayor Patrick Collins of Boston told this one as the Irish cab driver had narrated it to him in Dublin. Cabby took "a fare" out into the country one night. The gentleman paid him well, and told him to "look under the seat." There cabby found a quart bottle of pure Irish whisky, and he sampled it immediately. He also gave some to the horse, who seemed to like it. Telling the story cabby said: "Afther I'd been givin' av th' baste on' your foe or fove shrinks he got gay; he dled. Th' first thing Oi knew Oi wor in th' shafts pullin' th' keb, an' th' baste up in th' sate lashn' me wid th' whip, malkin me pull harnd an' dance." "Well, what was the result?" inquired Mr. Collins. "Ol've niveg give th' baste another drop fry'm that day till this." "What was the result that night? You niveg gave of course." "Ol wor not drunk, at all at all." "Were you entirely sober." "No, Ol'll not lie about it. Oi wor not intoitely sober." "If neither drunk nor sober, what was your condition?" "Oi wor on th' defensive"—Pitts- burg Dispatch. Environment for Scientists Environment for Scientists. Generally speaking, it may be safely put that mastership in any of the sciences is usually used by whom we need an environment in every way conducive to the development of a scientific career. Seldom is it that a genius, with neither ancestry nor training to favor him, springs up to startle the world with a scientific discovery, as in Literature or in other arts more closely allied to science. Recipe for a World Take one man, a woman and a garden. Add an apple and a good fresh snake. Stir gently until the pot begins to boil, then drain off the apple and keep adding children. Simmer on a slow fire, then put on ice. Alternate between the two extremes, giving the whole a good, sound basting when needed, turning slowly in a proper space. Keep adding time until the mass is of the consistency of a mud plee covered with ants. Multiply the inhabitants and garnish with villages, towns, cities and empires. Now introduce a little theology and enough devil sauce to spice. Keen adding battle, murder, sudden death and a good layer of cant. Put plenty of salt in the water and sprinkle with bad society. When your yorld is finished throw it in the fire and begin all over again—Leesburg Buckeye. Nothing blinds the soul quicker than winking in the fire and begin all over again—Leesburg Buckeye. C. A.

Merit, Im Europe a respiratory and lfe- saving apparatus has been used with considerable success by miners, fire- men and others, who are required to penetrate mines or apartments that, are filled with smoke or unbreathable gases, especially after accidents such as explosions. With this apparatus sufficient alr and oxygen are carried to support respiration for two hours, even while the individual is working. ‘The apparatus consists of a masl: or helmet, which completely covers the face, but exposes the ears, so. that while the eyes of the wearer are pro- tected from the smoke he can @hear distinetly, ‘There are connected with the mask two rubber bags—one for the exhaled air and the other connected with the oxygen and the regenerated air. The former is contained in steel cylinders, and by means of proper reducing valves acts on the air after the car bonie acid which has been exhaled is absorbed by granulated potash. The instrument weighs about twenty-elght pounds, but is sure in.its action, and has been used successfully by tne Paris fire department, where, in ad- dition, portable electric lights with flexible cables form a part of the equipment, and thus allow firemen to penetrate dark and smoky rooms: and cellars to save life or cut off gas or electricity, or perform some other use- fal duties.

Being a drawing room gentleman, dress is the great ambi tion of his life. From the shoes of his feet to the topknot on the top of his head he is ordered so as to be seen and admired of men, “His shoes, during this year of mourning, must. be spotlessly white. No atom of dust or fly speck shall mar them. His socks, beautifully puffed, are stitched to perfection, his panta: loons, big enough for a Brobdinguag, are padded, quilted and ironed until they come forth looking like some mysterious fabrie of polished marble, his Jacket likewise and his overcoat and_wristlets. \ “Not only has he a headband, a top: knot and a hat on his head, but he buys a pair of spectacles and adds them to his already over-charged head- gear, and thus rigged, with a ring on his finger and a fan in his hand, he goes forth to make his way through this troubled world.” ‘Naitia abred tenuseiiete: Sacred, manuscripts, written on kid Teather, and which had been used repair, and shoes in the time shortly atter Christ came on earth, have been unearthed in Asia, says the Philadel phia North, American.
