TnE progressive king of Siam has been trying to induco his people to Imitate the ways of civilized nations. His reward is seen in the attempt of one great civilized nation to bully and rob, while another great nation looks on and docs not offer a rebuke. The report that there has been over 700 deaths from cholera in the Bouthern part of France Mnco May sounds formidable. But the southern part of France is a large place, atd there have probably beeu over 700 deaths from colds there dur ing the same period of time. ICiM-apeil Iion Caught by an Elephant. An exciting and remarkable scene oc enrred yesterday at Barnsley, where Day's menagerie is being exhibited. The manager states that abont 4 o'clock Bartlett, the keeper, accidentally left the door of a cage containing yonng lions un fastened. Bartlett was afterward sur prised to see one of the lions loose. Hap pily no siwctators were in the show at the time. The keeper immediately armed himself and sent for aid. Blank car tridges were fired to keep the lion at bay. Luckily, it came within reach of a power ful elephant named Jumbo II, who was fenced off by means of ropes and stakes in one corner of the show. The elephant seized the lion with his trunk round the body, and placing his foot npon him held him down. The keepers, who had secured ropes, noosed them, and putting them on the lion's legs secured and dragged him into the cage. Westmin ster Gazette. m Ild Mr. Kelly Ilojiight? Did Mr. Jolin Kelly do the'rTght thing, or did he do the wrong thing, yet the only thing possible under the circum stances? According to his story he was dining in a restaurant with a woman when the latter complained of the too manifest n'Jiinration of two elderly men "who sat at a able near. Kelly was abont to remonstrate when, so he says, they got up and, on pretense of looking at a picture which hung over the table, one of them addressed a remark to his companion. Mr. Kelly smote the in truder between the eyes, breaking his glasses, and was arrested. It is a repeti tion of Guy de Maupassant's story of "The Coward" over again, except that Mr. Kelly was courageous. But what was he to do? A cat mny look at a king, says the proverb. Yet if the way of looking was objectionable, what was Mr. Kelly to d' Xew York Evening Sun. This Happened In C'lticuco. A little Chicago .Vyear-old (everything happens in Chicago this summer) was, according to a raconteur on a suburban piazza last week, at one time bidden by her mother to be very good on a certain evening when the pastor and hLs wife were to take tea with her parents. ''You must not speak unless yon are spoken to; if yon really want anything you must ask fur it very prettily and properly," was the oft rejieated injunc tion of the mother, and the child sat down at the table with a crushing sense of the importance of the occasion. As the meal progressed she found her self in need of something. The minister Bat next her, and after due consideration she decided to appeal to him. "Mr. A.," she began, raising her grave blue eyes to his face, "will yon please, for Christ's sake, to pass me the butter?" New York Times. Gentlemen Wtio Aspire to lie Kluukeya. With the exception of Lord Carring ton (who did very well indeed) the offi cial actors in the ceremonial at the duke's wedding appeared to be very im perfect in their parts, and it is a wonder that no accident took place. It was odd indeed to nee a uumlier of aristocratic personages walking backward with the appearance of lx'iug saturated with the most slavish servility, but even more grotesque and remarkable were the con stant nnd profound bowings and scrap ings of all the courtiers. Lord Palmerston once remarked to Lord Dalling, who refuted the saying to Charles Lever, "What a happy arrange ment it is that in an age when our flun keys aspire to be gentlemen there are gentlemen who ask nothing better than to be flunkeys," and he never said a bet ter thing. London Truth. THE LEGEND OF EVtU This is the sorrowful story Told when the twilight fails. And the monkeys walk together Holding each other's tails: "Our fathers lived ia the forest; Foolish people were they. They went down to the cornland To teach the tinners to play. Our fathers frisked In the millet, Onr fathers tl ipped in the wheat. Our fathers hut in the branches. Our fathers di.need in the street. Then came tin terrible farmers. Nothing of pit y they knew. Only they caught our fathers And set them to labor too! "Set them to w irk in the cornland. With plows and sickles and flails: Put them in mudnallcd prisons And cut off tl eir beautiful tails! "Now we can ti au-h our fathers. Sullen and bn .ved and old. Stooping over t ie millet, Stirring the s lly mold. "Driving a fool h furrow. Mending a ni':ddy yoke. Sleeping in mud walled prisons, Meeping tlu i food in smoke. "We may not s eak to our fathers. For if the far nep knew They would cone up to the forest And Fi-t i to lalxir too!" This i the honible Mory Told as the tv iiight fails. As ttie monkeys walk together Holding each othe r's tails. IJudyard Kipling. Two Ktrai Re ltrotliem. It had always Iwen the habit in the Ward family if tn-o relatives differed strongly to arrange not to lie on speaking terms. Dr. Willia n G. Ward was once asked how much he had known of his fa ther's first cousin, Sir Henry Ward. He replied quite gravely: "I only saw him twice once as a 1hv, when he came to see my father, and then again I had an interview with hit 1 about a matter of business son after I came into my prop erty. We arrange 1 at the end of it not to be on speaking terms," quite a super flous arrangement, as Sir Henry Ward lived at that time in Ceylon, of which he was governor, am" in fact never came again to England f ir a prolonged visit. Dr. Ward and li s brother Henry had been estranged for a year or so, aud one night they met at the Haymarket thea ter. Each of thei 1 had for the moment quite forgotten the quarrel, and friendly greetings passed, and they had a talk about the play. J.'ext morning came a letter from Henry Ward: Dear William 1 1 the hurry of the mo ment tonight I quit.- forgot that we had ar ranged to meet us strangers, and I write this, lest you should misu iderstnnd me. to say that I think we had better adhere to u Arrange ment, and I remain, lear William, your affec tionate brother.

San Francisco A rgonaut. The Kpiilemlr of Liberty. The idea embod ed in American insti tutions is the most radical that ever took the concrete shap- of legislation. We may say, without being charged with a boastful spirit, that we have on the whole the best got ernment on thcaplanet. That is to say, the government which offers the largest opportunities and pro duces the greatest amount of content ment and prorperty. It is a good thing for 100,000 of onr citizens to visit E irojie every summer in order to compare -lie condition of affairs abroad with that njyed at home. And it is safe to assort that no man can travel in, England or Germany or Russia or Italy without real hing the proud conclu sion that the American flag represents more popular rigl ts and a more advanced political economy than any other strip of bunting that finals in the breeze.

This is to remind them that the battle of life has fairlv begun. When Maha Mongkut, father of the present king t f Siam. died in 1868, his body was embalmt 1 and left sitting in state for nearly asar and a half. It is said that a pinch of salt placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve slow ly is helpful in sick headache. Erp4nsfve Experimental It cost the people of the United State about $25,000 in a couple of hours the other day to settle in the minds of the officers of the ordnance bureau whether some armor plates made by the Carnegie and Bethlehem steel works respectively were as good as they ought to be. It was found that they were, and what that means can be imagined when one of the plates was 17 inches thick, weighed 31 tons, and was attacked by shells weighing 850 pounds each, the last ones fired from a 12 inch gun at a distance of only 319 feet, striking it with the force needed to move a mass of 21,600 tons, or 43,000,000 pounds, through a foot of space. The projectile went through. We take it that that did not surprise even the experts, who are used to think ing about those inconceivable masses and velocities. But what did surprise them was that' the hole it made was nearly as clean cs if it had been drilled, and that not a crack appeared about its edges. Though this particular projec tile was l..st having been deflected and fallen into the Potomac the other pro jectiles which penetrated the same plate were found in jierfect condition and fit to be used jigain. Th.Tt seem almost more marvel. us than the perfection of the plate.
