the old lady is backing him op.
England is not receiving tnr share of
trade from China that she expected
when the recent agreement with '.hat
country was reached.
As Weyler dare not ply his trade as
expert butcher in Cutwi with the whole
world looking, perhaps Spain will send
over a soldier to replace him.
The recent election in Canada re
united in a victory for the Liberal
party. This is the first time in eighteen
years that that party has had a ma
jority in the house of commons.
Bill Ilohenzollern, otherwise Em
peror William, is learning to ride a
bike. The grand army of wheelmen is
anxiously waiting to leam the kind of
wheel he uaes.
Albert Edward has no reputation for
brilliancy, but a prince who never
made a foolish speech and who won
the Derby will compare very well with
the average royalty of Europe.
A Hartford man has been fined $50
and sent to jail for thirty days for at
tempting to kiss a woman. Great care
should be exercised in matters of this
kind. Many such failures would re
sult in serious consequences.
The isultan has issued an irade. sug
gesting that in order to end the
trouble in Crete the Christians on that
Island should lay down their arms.
This would certainly make it easier for
the Turks to end the revolution.
There is to be an attempt to exclude

They say the bills for tea are simply
ruinous.
"Marching Through Georgia" was
one of the musical selections heard at
a recent court drawing room in Lon
don. It would hardly have answered
to play "America" in the royal pres
ence and claim it as one of our repre
sentative national airs.
Here is a French prophet declaring
that the world will come to an end in
September. It is astonishing, after so
many failures on the part of the world
to take this hint, that any self-respect
ing prophet will risk his reputation
With that particular prediction.
The thirty-six prisoners at Sing-Sing,
who, under the influence of Mrs. Bal
lington Booth's ministrations declared
TLeir intention of leading a better life,
may have been sincere, but with some
of them it was probably a case of
"when the devil was sick," etc.
A Vermonter who had a large area
of what was called waste land planted
it with 70.000 trees, and finds himself
the owner of some very promising for
ests. Americans are slow to learn that
there is money in growing trees as
well as in cutting them down.
"Gentleman Jim" Corbett was almost
whipped recently by Sharkey, the
pugilistic sailor. Corbett evidently
thought he had a snap and made
scarcely any preparation for the event
The interference of the police saved
the "gentleman" and the contest was
declared a draw.
Oom Paul is the greatest thing that

the Boer republic will be paying a reg

Premier Victor Napoleon says that
"the Napoleons have no rights except
those they hold from the people, and
the people alone can invalidate those
rights." There is a strong opinion pre
vailing that the people gave due atten
tion to the invalidating business some
twenty-five years ago.
The most enterprising advertising
agent yet heard from is in Paris. He
has acquired the services of a man
with a bald head on the back of which
are painted encomiums of soap, pills,
or whatever the agent chooses. Then
the living signpost sits in the front
row at a theater. It is a great idea,
and it is only a question of time,
doubtless, when it will be adapted to
poster purposes.
