French scientists, after careful examination, have concluded that- the Louvre mu aum really has the petrified heart of the Pharaoh who persecuted the Israel ites. New Zealand, with a population of Between 800,000 and 900,000, spends $1, 000,000 a year on old-age pensions. In Denmark the annual cost is about $1, 080,00 par annum, spread over a popula tion of about 2,50,0,000. The new French president is deeply attached to his umbrella, which ac companies him on every occasion, and Is likely from now on to become a fa vorite' subject for French political cari caturists, imuoh like the collar of Mr. Gladstone or the monocle of Mr. Cham- berlain. If he can keep his umbrella attached to him he will show himself to be a, truly great man. Nearly forty years ago Bret Harte In one of hia contributions to the Over- 'land Monthly, entitled "The Ruins of San Francisco," commenced in this wise: "Toward the close of the nine teenth century the city of San Francis co was totally destroyed by an earth quake. Although the whole coast line must have been much shaken, the a client seems to have been purely local, and even the city of Oakland escaped.1' Corn and bread are still offered by the pious Basques of the Pyrenees to the dear departed on their death anni versary. A traveler in Spain describes how, at San Sebastian, he has often seen some poor fisherman's daughter praying in a church for a dead rela tive, "amid, baskets full of fruit, loaves of bread and corn, and kneeling upon the tomb of her ancestors." The New Tork Tribune would like to have more attention paid to the study of English In the publio schools of the metropolis. It has ascertained, after careful Inquiry, that the amount of time given to the subject in the gram mar schools there Is confined to three periods a week, of forty minutes each, or 120 minutes a week. At the same 'time eighty minutes a week are given to physics, eighty to manual training and 200 to some foreign language. The decision of the Indiana Supreme court in regard to the anti-cigarette law leaves the adult citizen free to im port cigarettes in original packages and to Bmoke them. The court says that if the legislature had intended to go to the extraordinary length of making the smoking of cigarettes by adults a crime it would have made the law read so. Neither cigarettes nor materials for making them can be legally sold in In, dlana to adults or minors, or Imported for commeiclal purposes. A book described as "a complete pro spectus of the new educational system of China" has been presented to the University of Pennsylvania library by a graduate of the university. It Is a volume of 1,500 pages, bound in sandal wood boards in such manner that it may be separated into five distinct pamphlets. This book, whiqh contains the educational code compiled by the commission appointed for the work of modernization, ' consisting of Viceroy Chang Chi-Ting, Prince Ching and the Imperial Secretary, Is printed in Chi nese characters and on silk sheets. An Algerian farmer defied the police and barricaded his farmyard. Several rifle volleys were fired at his place in the hope of terrifying him. As this ap parently had no effect, a three-inch quick firing field gun and melinite shell were brought into use. In all eighteen bombs were fired. The first two flew wide, but the other sixteen reduced all the farm buildings to heaps of rub bish, undr which, when search was made! the farmer's body was found. He had evidently been killed by a rifle bullet on the preceding day, so that all the terrors of artillery and melinite had been wasted on a corpse. ! LARGE AND GBOWIXG. Some think that the use of electricity has only just begun, and it does often seem that there Is hardly any limit to ', it. But it has already become a pretty important factor," and is rapidly grow ing. The amount of capital now in vested in electrical establishments has increased 130 per cent, wer that of 1900. The number of manufacturing estab lishments has increased from 580 in 1900 to 783 in 19C5, and the number of salar ied officials and clerks employed in 1905 was 11,590 and wage earners were em ployed to the number of 59,330. The to tal value of the products for that, year is placed at the enormous sum of $140, 614,481, and the annual salaries amount to $31,226,721. . ' These are large figures, and there will soon be larger ones. NOT THE USVAL HEALTHY OKE. The "reaction" which has just taken place in the stock market 'Will hardly Ibe pleasantly called a healthy reaction, as reactions are often called. It has made too many too sick ;to warrant the throwing of that useful and sometimes soothing phrase at them. They would n't see anything healthy dn it. What has been going on is quite a mys tery, but ithere is no mystery about what has been going down. Prices have fallen at a rate fully equal to that at Which they went up, and the old saying that what goes up must come down has again been fully illus trated and vindicated. What next? Who knows except "the powerful interests" that we have been reading; about for a long time, and per haps some of thorn don't know as much as they did. Whatever happens the stock market will g"o on and grind out another grist of fortune and mis fortune. It is a big mill, and some times grinds in a way that is grind ing. A CHANCE JPQJS ANOTHER. There are many societies of First Families and things in this country, but there is a chance for another, and a good one too. Congress is talking about printing, the names of the heads of the families enumerated in the first census taken In the United States. This census, taken in 1790, was never print ed. Some of the. schedules were de stroyed by fire during the occupation of the city of Washington by the Brit ish, In 1814, but the schedules still in existence, comprising Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Car olina, and Vermont, contain much In formation. An examination of these reports, which 1s now prohibited, except to employes of the Census bureau, in dicates that in a very short time, through much handling, they will be come so worn and mutilated as , to be Illegible and practically destroyed. They can, it is said, be compiled by the pres ent office force of the Census bureau without additional cost to the govern ment, except for printing and binding. It is estimated that the population in the States above referred to, shown in this first census, represents 401,134 heads of families, and that the desired Information can be printed in 2,507 pages in two volumes- A large part of the cost of publication might be return. ed to the government by the purchase of these reports by the public. Let them be printed. Then we can know more about Who's Who, and those of us who are Who can feel as big as we are entitled to feel. FZAGS OF THE FIGHTING FRENCH General Nlox, ithe director of the French Army Museum, has been au thorized to compile a historical and descriptive catalogue of the flags taken in battle from the enemy by the French army, and, If possible, to col lect them under one roof. At present these trophies of French military glory are widely dispersed. Four hundred of them are in the church of the Invalides the 'Chelsea Hospital of France, and others in the ArmyMuseum, in the old artillery depot of St. Thomas d'Aquin, in the Palais Bouribon, in Notre Dame, at Versailles, and many more in pri vate houses. Few belonging to the Na poleonic era are left, most of them hay ing been destroyed in 1814 to prevent them falling into the hands of the allies, then marching on Paris. There were at that moment hanging in the Invalides more than 1,400 flags captur ed in the wars of the revolution and the First Empire, of which 280 were Prussian. To-day only about 100 of these remain, including some Spanish and Austrian banners, mostly taken during the Aueiterlltz campaign one Italian, one Turk, and seven British. Of the treasures of the Invalides cap tured in more recent times, 1,200 come from Algeria, 44 from Mexico, and 10 from Tonkin. More highly valued than all the rest are two German standards those of the Sixteenth Prussian In fantry and the Sixty-first Pomeranian regiment. They compare poorly with the more than fifty French standards hanging in Berlin, but the French say that the latter were the spoils' of stir render, while the remnants in the In valides were taken in hand-to-hand fight on the field of battle, the first by Second Lieutenant Chabil, of the Fifty seventh Foot, at iKezonville, and the second by a young Savoyard franc tireur in the last battle before Dijon, The Mnn Wbo Strikei Out. There are some who succeed because of their friends, . . And wealth often purchases fame. There are thousands who struggle and die in the end For a taste of honest acclaim. The man who needs cheer is the man who fights on 1 Undaunted by sorrow or doubt. Oh, I wish I could cordially slap on the back Even' man who steps up and strikes out. The struggle's a queer one, we all must admit. ' As we hurry and hustle along; And somebody's sighs and somebody's sobs Are drowned by the lilt of our song. Cheer the man who succeeds, for he merits applause; But pity the man in despair The down-hearted fellow, who tries for a hit. And finds himself fanning the air. New York Press. HEALTHY.

' WHY DOWIE GOT ON. A Congregational Minister's Sugges tions on the Subject. Dowie won his following, not by ex traordinary magnetic power or graces of oratory; he possesses neither. He is a man of ability, and is a forceful and convincing speaker. But he is weari some, awkward, disgustingly egotisti cal and intolerably discourslve. His power as an orator is his uncompro mising dogmatism, which breaks down all opposition by Its unhesitating as surance, and his outspoken condemna tion of things manifestly evil. Fear lessly and straightforwardly he re buked sin, taught a repentance that was effective, and made men believe in his message because their own i con science echoed it. Then, Dowie did a mighty work as a healer. After all has been sUd that can be said about nervous disorders as the stock in trade of the professional healer, there Is no escaping the argu ment of disused braces, crutches and trusses which garnish his immense tab ernacle. Both there and in Roman Catholic shrines these must be accepted as proving something whether that something be the divine authority of the healer or not. On the day Dowie preached the Elijah sermon, he called on those who had been healed to rise; and they rose all about me, by hun dreds. Whether he was Elijah or not they may not have known, but one thing they knew, or thought they knew they had been lame, sick, Broken down, and were in health, and had strength to stand on their own feet and witness for Zion. There was another element of power In Dowie. He believed in a new social order. Democracy had failed, he de clared. The government of the people, for the people, by the people, was mere ly the government of John Jones for prim. qnalil TheFcidCompai Manubriums Importers. John Jones by John Jones. Christ's Gospel was a gospel of the kingdom, and a kingdom on earth. Before Christ could come, Elijah must restore the theocracy a government of the people by a representative of God prophet, priest and ruler. This meant little by itself. But it in volved another element which appealed to practical men.

The penitent man would not be cast upon the street without means of earning a livelihood; nor would he be sent hack to work among blasphemous and obscure companions, or compelled to make hi3 way home at night past brothels and saloon. There would be a safe environment for all converts till they could stand alone; and Zion would be a commercial and industrial power, and that power would be righteousness. This appealed to two classes of men, the capitalists and the converts. With one of the latter I have just talked. He was a lost man on the streets of Chicago, penniless, diseased, a helpless slave of drink and lust. He went to Zlon after his conversion and dug in the ditches; then he worked in the lace factory. Then he rose to the head of a department iri the engraving works for Leaves of Healing the Zion paper. In my presence he talked with one of his associates, who asked, "Has he not robbed you? Have you not been begging for payments of fifty cents to buy bread for your family, while he owes you a ' hundred dollars and Is spending it in luxury for himself?" But the man answered, "I will not lightly cast away a man who has done so much for me." As for the capitalists, they said that if this was a good thing at all, It was good financially. A guaranteed profit of ten per cent, was worth considering. A community that had no wants for rum, tobacco and frivolity could pro duce cheaply and pay good dividends; and if it was going good also, that cer tainly was no disadvantage. Indeed, there were not a few rich men who cared little whether it paid them any thing, if only it made righteousness pay expenses. And this It seemed HKe ly to do. Rev. Dr. William E.

Reasons for the Plume on the Left Side and Bul.tons on the Colt- Wilfred Webb, at a meeting of the Windsor and Eton Scientific and Arch aeological Society last night, spoka in terestingly of the evolution of dress. From prehistoric drawings it would appear, he said, that our early ances tors were clothed with hair and had lit tle necessity for artlcficlal covering. Judging from primitive' races at the present day, clothing was not first adopted as a protection fro the weather. Just as the zoologist learns much concerning the ancestry of animals, from the little features which survive in their bodily structure, so can the history of dress be evolved. Starting with the hat, it was shown that the had band can be traced to a fillet which held in shape a simple piece of cloth. Sometimes this fillet was tied behind, the tails of which survive in the Scotch cap, the sailor hat and the bishop's mi tre. A little bow inside in the lining of the hat is a survival of a lacing which kept the lining in ihape, or possibly takes us back to a time when a hat was made by putting a string through holes in a flat of piece of leather, and, by The founda tion of one's Easter Toilet should be cor rect, up to date CorseU.

The plumes In hats are on the reft side be cause in early times the adornments were so big that they would have ser iously interfered with the use of the sword if worn on the right The helmet of the fireman is practically identical with thoBe worn by the ancient Greeks. The large white collar, suoh as Mil ton wore,' Is still in a smaller form worn by the clergymen who preach in' Geneva gowns and by Bluecoat boys. Buttons on coat sleeves point to a time when coats were very costly, and it was justomary to turn back the sleeves so Lhat they should not be soiled. Mr. Webb also discussed the origin of the two butons on the back of the coat, ind said thathe could find no satlsfac .ory reason, why in European countries the buttons on men's clothes should be always on the right side and those of women on the left. The posible connection between the ornamentation on omdern boots and the openwork shoes of the Romans "Was pointed out- The fact that a "clock" means a "guesset" stigested that the ornamentation which we know by the orrner name may have been origlnaUy ntended to hide the Joins In a stocking ,vhen it was made from pieces of cloth. -London Daily News.
