An English syndicate is forming a cotton trust in Mexico, so, you see, some of them got away from New Jersey after all. The report that Gen. Corbin is writing a book with the alluring title "Me 'n' Kaiser Bill" lacks verification, but it may be true. The Connecticut bull that got drunk on apple mash and broke his neck in charging a tree, had no more sense tnan lots of people. The St. Paul postoffice officials have a pair of garters which were lost in transit. We had not supposed that garters were mail matter. In Wisconsin barbers are arrested for shaving men on Sunday.

There is a discussion on now as to what Noah and his family ate on the ark. Noah probably saw to it that more than two chickens were taken aboard.

The new cruisers of our navy may rot get into battle as quickly as the speedier vessels of some other coun tries, but they will stay longer after they arrive. It is claimed that J.

"Great fortunes are misfortunes." declares Uncle Russell Sage. They are misfortunes which nobody is in any hurry to be rid of, however, uncle Russell least of all. Wall street and women were the cause of the downfall of the former private secretary to Gov. Murphy of New Jersey. No man can stand up against that combination long. A Kansas City boy who had fallen in love with "Little Eva" ran away with an "Uncle Tom" show. This is I.erhaps the worst disgrace that could happen even to a Kansas City family. Mr. Van Alen of Newport, says England is the only place for a gen tleman to live. If he intends this as an explanation of his presence in this *ountry, all right; otherwise, it does not matter. Germany is disposed to laugh heart ily over Andrew Carnegie's proposed "United States of Europe." A Scotch joke equal to the provocation of mirth in a German is certainly a most extra ordinary incident. Western book agents have formed a union, and will try to get into the American Federation of Labor. Don't worry, they'll get in all right, even if they find it necessary to insert a foot in the crack of the door. The Missouri farmer who sent $2 for a fire escape and received a Bible might prosecute on the ground that the other fellow secured money under false pretenses-if he could prove that there isn't going to be a fire. Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovitch. the czar's uncle, has been dismissed from the Russian army for marrying the Baroness Pistolkoff. Evidently they have no sense of the fitness of things in Russia. What could be more natural than that of a soldier should love his Pistolioff? 1~ - ý" V" A Y IO * 41 , J~ A i t" MA It is declared, apparently with some authority, that the purpose of Kaiser Wilhelm's visit to King Edward. which he has just concluded, was to arrange for the betrothal of his son, the crown prince, to the nineteen year-old Princess Alice of Albany. l The kaiser and his consort have, it is said, been closely observing the prin cess the last two years, while she has been living with her mother and brother, who is duke of Saxe-Coburg, and have decided she would make an excellent queen consort for their son. Princess Alice and the crown prince are second cousins. After the crown prince's visit to England a year ago t\there were persistent stories that he had fallen in love with Princess Alice, G UMrN AAr d APA WWY and later there was a story of an in terview with his father in regard to the matter. IS A TYPICAL SOUTHERNER. Capt. Marmaduke Known and Respect ed by His Fighting Crew. Capt. Henry M. Marmaduke, who is in charge of the Colombian cruiser Bo gota at Panama, and who proposes to reorganize the Colombian navy and make it effective, is a typical south erner-tall, lean and sinewy. He has the gamecock look of a born fighter and the reputation on the Pacific coast of a man who makes good his looks. He comes of a Missouri family and his first experience in naval warfare was on the old confederate ram Merrimac. So well known was Marmaduke on the coast as a fighter that when it was given out that he was to have com mand of the Bogota the vessel was crowded with applicants for places on the crew. Marmaduke gave the pref erence to Annapolis men for officers and to old American man-o'-warsmen for the crew. He has had his pick and the crew that he gathered was one that any commander might have been proud of. Cure for Grip. According to a French physician an attack of grip can be cured by cologne. The prescription is also recommended for colds, which at this season are so stubborn and so conmmon. To be effec tive the cologne must be used at the very beginning of the dlisease. The very best cologne is poured on a hand kerchief and the fumes instantly in haled through the nose and mouth. If the trouble is concentrated in the throat the relief, it is said, is almost immediate. At first the inhalations are made at intervals of but two or three minutes. After a burning sensa tion has been excited a period of ten or fifteen minutes may elapse. Twelve hours is a fair test with the remedy, its failure after that length of treat ment being regarded as an indication that grip was already too far under way. BELGIANS WANT NEW BLOOD. Count of Flanders Thought Too Old to Take the Throne. The announcement that Prince Philip, count of Flanders, has resign ed his claims to the succession to the throne of Belgium in favor of his son, Prince Albert, is pleasing to the people. The count of Flanders is growing old, being aged sixty-five years, and the people feel that an in fusion of young blood on the throne C7 rrr :A-r is desirable. Prince Albert is aged twenty-seven years, and both he and his wife, the Princess Elizabeth, are popular. They have one son, Prince Leopold. TURNS ON HER CRITICS. Miss Nethersole Displeased at the Strictures on her "Sapho." Miss Olga Nethersole has concluded a successful week at the Gaiety thea I'A ter. At the end of the performance of "Sapho" on Saturday night she came before the curtain and, in a rather long speech, which was frequently In terrupted by the cheers of a very friendly house, gave her views on the treatment of her play by the Dublin Press, which represented her play as not quite as moral as it might be.

The farmer estimates the cost of hbls crop at $7.50 an acre; if he gets thirty q bushels an acre and sells it for 50 b cents he has a profit of $7.50 an acre. On 100 acres it is $750; on 1,000 acres, $7,500-and there are many hundred farmers with the latter acre ti age. f What have they done? A.

Hun dreds of instances might be mentioned of farms that have been paid out of the crops of one or two years.-Les lie's Weekly. A Flowery Brief. A brief for the state in an early Nebraska case indulges in the fol lowing prairie flowers of fancy: "Plaintiffs in error are afraid that the honor and dignity of the state will suffer, and they invoke for the claimants broad principles of natural equity, and the claim that neither the laws governing courts nor the consti tution apply to them. The logical soe qcuence is this-that persons who hold claims against the state are a favored class, who can alone make wings of 'justice and right' to fly to that mys tic region above and beyond the tram mels of law, and where such unjust things as contracts and written con stitutions do not exist: but where for them a straight and narrow pathway leads to the treasury, whose doors, without stint or delay, turn softly on golden hinges to admit them. Yet if I do not very much mistake this court, 'these wings' will unfeather in their flight, and claimants against the state must fall to a common level with I all other litigants, and .stand up to the tack where is fed that good old fod der of 'justice and right' as admin. istered by our courts."

Russell Sage's Saving.
