A western thinker undertakes to prove that bicycle riding is injurious to health because the demand for rubber for use in the manufacture of tires has go enhanced the price of that commod ity that fewer people wear overshoes in damp weather. In London some fashionable women are wearing belts ornamented with Chi nese hieroglyphics in silver, and one Woman was chagrined to learn from a Chinese diplomat that the hieroglyphics she wore read, "May all my enemies die by torture," and "May I have fifty Bone." The memorial arch which is to bo erected at Richmond, Virginia, in honor Of Jefferson Davis will be sixty-five feet high. At each end of the structure will be a figure, one symbolizing fame, and the other the "lost cause." The total 'cost of the arch will be $75,000, more than half of which has already been subscribed. The Mississippi Supreme court has af firmed the constitutionality of the State primary law -passed by the legislature At the recent session. The court de cides that no candidate for any office, State, district, or ward, can be placed on the official ballot as a party candi date except by means of a primary elec tion. The law does not prohibit con ventions, the court declares, and con ventions, if necessary for the declara tion of party principles, may be called and held, but they cannot be used to make party nominations for office. Jtrr.R HIE SAMIC. The Irreconcilables are not certain in their minds about the meaning Monday's vote, but they are as certain In their mouths as ever. They boldly say that the people rejected the pro posed Constitution because there wasn1 enough reform in it, and they solemnly add "Nothing is settled until it Is set tied right." Of course, but it may bo a long time before the right triumphs and when it does perhaps the prescn irreconcilables will not bo alive to see it, and perhaps if they were they wouldn't know it as right. Their situ atlon Is much like that of the man who prays. His prayer may be ans wered sometime, and when it Is the answer may not be in the shape he expected, But they are, all the -anie, to be congratulated on their fervent faith and glowing hope. They have been soothed and sustained by their faith and hope in many a crisis, and they will be sustained by them whoi: other crises come. And if they must die without the sight of what they say is right they will die happy in their hope and faith, oven as did the young man who shouted "Strawberries" until he froze to death in the icy Alps. It is a fine thing to be consistently irre conellable in saecuia saeculorum, world without end, Amen. The English people are litigious. Fig ures given out in a recent parliamen tary return show that on the average, in 1900, one person in every twenty-five in England and Wales went to law dur ing the course of the year. These are, Of course, average figures, based on the fact that there were 1,310,680 civil cases begun during that year. The London Express, in explaining these figures, de clares that "the cantankerously litig ious person and the tradesman who is unfortunate in the number of customers who will not pay their debts bring up the average." There are also some 1, 357 appeals from old cases which go to BWell the return for 1900. School-children can hear strange things. One of the English papers gives the answers of certain board school boys who were asked to write down the whole or part of the chorus of "Rule Britannia." One of them gave the first line as "Royl Brick Tanner, Brick Tan ner rules the way;" a second began it With "Rore Britanier," while a third at tempted a whole verse. This was his Version: "The nations not so blest has he but still in stern but still stern stern to God most all this was the Chelter the Chelter of the stall and God in An gles sang the Strang Bulblatanya bia tanya woves the waves for Britalns never will be slain." An ancient royal charter conferred on the mayor and corporation of the city of Cork jurisdiction "over the har bor, as well as the rivers, creeks and bays within the same," and this juris diction is maintained by marking its boundary every three years, by casting into the sea, at a point about three miles outside the harbor, a dart or jave lin, to mark the seaward bounds of these rights. On such occasions the mayor proceeds in state to the point in question, accompanied by the members Of the corporation and a number of the leading citizens, and performs the an cient ceremony. The present mayor performed the ceremony in the presence of a large company on May 20 last. CA X ' T it a: O O 31 A .v r. When is a man entitled to be called "Colonel?" That Is a hard question to answer, and we shall not attempt to answer it, though we believe that any man who wants to be called "Colonel" should be so called by his polite and ac commodating fellow citizens. It will not hurt the fellow citizens and It will do the man good. An interesting ef fort has just been made in Iowa to make it clear when an auctioneer Is en titled to be called "Colonel." At a meeting of auctioneers held at Water loo, Iowa, the other day It was asserted that there were too many among them called "Colonels." A motion was adopted to the effect that an auctioneer must cry one thousand sales before ac quiring the right to be known as "Col onel." This action is, of course, purely arbl trary. A thousand sales don't make an auctioneer a Colonel any more than one sale makes him a Colonel, We think It would have been better to leave each auctioneer to his own chances of being honored by the coveted title. We hope that the action of the auctioneers' con vention will not be imitated by con ventions of members of other trades, or professions. Let everybody who wants to be called Colonel be called Colonel without regard to the number of things he has sold or said. There can't be too many Colonels in the auctioneer busi ness or anywhere else. An interesting exodus from Philadel phia took place the other day, when about 1,200 Italians, men, women and children, started for the south Jersey berry fields. They were in charge of padrones who make annual contracts with farmers and growers to supply a certain number of hands. The "pa drones" accompany the pickers to cer tain stations, where a division is made, and they send the different groups to ; their destination. The farmers provide frame structures for the pickers. The berry pickers open a season in the Strawberry fields. From there they go to picking peas and beans, then dew berries, and wind up in the cranberry growing districts. Many of the Italian families make several hundred dollars In a season and go back to Italy in the Winter. aoon out of ax ill mi.vo. There are sharp people in this coun try, and some of them are in the oleo margarine business. The antt-oleomar- garlne act which was passed by con gress goes into effect on the first day of next month. That law puts a tax of ten cents a pound on artificially-colored oleomargarine, but all oleo that is man ufactured in the meantime and got out of the factories goes at the old rate of two cents a pound. The manufacturers are making hay while the sun shines, and ever since it was certain that con gress was going to pass the hostile law the factories have been working night and day. Tremendous quantities of oleomargarine have been turned out and packed away in cold storage. It is estimated that enough surplus stockto supply the country for six months will be on hand by July 1. The Treasury de partment figures show that the facto ries are being worked to their utmost, for there has been a great run on Com missioner Yerkes for oleo stamps. For instance, the receipts from the sale of two-cent internal revenue oleomargar ine stamps during the month of April were $101,269 more than they were for the same month of last year. The gain in the receipts for the month of April represented about 50 per cent, of the total increase for the ten months of the current fiscal year. The figures for May are not yet ready, but many of the collectors ran out of stamps and had to make additional requisitions. Thus will the oleo makers profit by legislation that was intended to beat them. And if they can persuade people to eat white oleo as they do the colored product the business will continue to flourish. The tax on the uncolored stuff will be only one-fourth of one per cent, a pound, and of course it is just as good as the colored stuff. OX 111 K FHISXCH COX (SO. There are several kinds of trouble in Africa, and there will be until things get more settled there. The condition of British and other foreign merchants on the French Congo seems to be desper ate, under the new policy of the French Colonial department, and there is ap parently very little help for them. The whole territory has been divided among a number of concessionaire societies, which by the terms of their agreement with the French government enjoy a monopoly of the products of the soil. In a circular letter addressed by the Gov ernor of French Congo to his subordi nates it was announced that the conces sionaries were alone entitled to the products of the soil in their respective concessions. The concessionaires at once instituted proceedings against tho British and other foreign firms estalv llshed In the country, on the ground that the raw products which the natives bartered with them against European goods were collected upon the area of their concessions, which cover the whole of the French Congo. The local law courts were compelled to base their ver dicts upon ministerial instructions, with the result that tho foreign merchants found themselves In the position of poachers on other men's preserves. The concessionaires seized the gooda belong ing to the merchants, and were upheld by the courts. Heavy fines were inflict ed, which the merchants had to pay, and the only resource open to them, seemingly, is to leave the country. Un der the Berlin act trade in the Congo basin was declared to be free to all and the British government, in answer to appeals, has made representations In Paris. But the French government, it is said, disclaims all .responsibility, as gerting that the dispute Is a private af fair.

In connection with the article In the Sun of last Friday relating an incident of the battle of Kennesavv Mountain, Georgia, in 1864, when Colonel W. H. Martin, of the First Arkansas regiment, gave the order to his men to stop firing, and hoisted a white handkerchief on a stick that the Federals in hip front might remove some of their wounded men from a burning woods, Mrs. Su san B. Hull, of No. 1020 Cathedral street, recounts an interesting bit of history. The First Arkansas regiment was composed largely of students of St. John's college, at Little Rock, and was officered by the professors and instruc tors of the college. The first colonel of the regiment waa Mrs. Hull's brother, Colonel John Baker Thompson, who had been president of the college, and who afterwards fell at the battle of Shiloh. The First Arkansas was en camped near Fredericksburg when the first battle of Manassas, or Bull Run, opened. The command was ordered to the field, and It made the march in re markably good time, winning words of pralse from General Magruder. The men were not allowed to halt on the march, the roads were dusty and the weather warm, and they suffered terri bly from thirst. When the battlefield was reached the command was thrown into the forefront of the fighting. Al most directly in front of the regiment was a spring of cool water, completely covered, however, by the guns of a Federal battery. This tempting spring, so near and yet so far, was exceedingly tantalizing to the thirsty men, and finally, when human nature could stand it no longer, two young boys, both un der sixteen, whose name?, unfortunate ly, have been lost in the flight of time, olunteered to get some water from the spring. With a lot of canteens strung over their shoulders the two young he roes started on their perilous journey. As soon as they came within range of the Federal battery it opened on them, nd a perfect hail of canister and grape swept the field. The two lads reached he spring uninjured and quickly filled the canteens, while their comrade? watched with breathless interest, ex pecting every moment to see them truck down. Suddenly, as if by magic, the fire of the battery ceased. Then as tho boys started on their return to the egiment an officer on horseback rode out from between the guns of the bat tery, and, lifting his hat, waved it to the boys, while a hearty cheer broke from the throats of the cannoneers. The officer had discerned the mission of the lad? and given orders to stop firing. The cheer was responded to by the thirsty Confederates, and a few min- tef) later they were pouring the re- reshing water down their dusty throats. Possibly at Kennesaw, when the men and boys of the First Arkansas regi ment saw the unfortunate wounded boys in blue in ranger of a horrible death in the burning woods, they re membered the incident of the first great battle of the war. Baltimore Sun. A NEGRO CONVERSION. "Back In the seventies'," said a man from Arkunsas. "I attended a negro re vival In one of the counties lying in the St. Francis basin, and the church was within a stone's throw of the St. Fran cis river, a beautifully clear stream which gurgles out of the earth some where above the sunk lands, and sweeps along the eastern side of Crow ley's Ridge, emptying into the Missis sippi about ten miles above Helena. The spirit of rellgioii had been stirred up to fever heat, and the negroes were fearfully wrought up. They made the hills ring for miles around the place where the meeting was being held. There were many converts, many men and women who had gone up to the mourners' bench to be prayed for. The white people of the surrounding coun try would occasionally go to the church just to watch the proceedings, hear the strange, weird music of the singers, and see the negroes shout. Negroes are great shouters in the backwoods, and they tell the most amusing and marvel ous tales imaginable when they are giving in their experiences. Moham med's description of his visit through the seven upper regions is not a mark er in comparison. One night a bad ne gro was suddenly converted. He told of his experience with the redeeming spirit. At the end of his miraculous story he was overcome by his feelings and began to shout, and the shouting wound up in a swoon. He was carried out of the church and laid on the side of the hill in a bed of leaves. Leaves were plentiful, as it was in the fall of the yeare, and tho negro convert was almost burled in these dry and fallen vestments of the trees. The negro did not remain in his swoon very long. There was a crowd of mischievous boys in the neighborhood. One of them stuck a match to the dry leaves, and In a short while the negro was almost en veloped in flame. Ho came to, jumped up, and made a desperate dash down the .side of the hill. He never knew the cause of the fire, and the next day he was telling the most marvelous sto ries in the world about the dream he had of going to hell, and he always be lieved the devil had something to do with setting the leaves afire. It made a consistent Christian out of him." New Orleans Times-Democrat. The George H. Ford Co.

During the past 24 years he has received his annual payments with regular ity and great equanimity of mind and, having already drawn $9,840, he has come to the conclusion that he has found the elixir of life in an Annuity.
