The Paris exposition was cheap at • net cost of $400,000. Great Britain no longer furnishes the. largest contingent of Swiss tour ists. Germany comes first, France second. Leborgy, a French authority on fashions for men, declares that t.he Prince of Wales dresses badly. And Americans have been copying him all these years!

It is proposed to place in Winchester cathedral a stained glass window to the memory of Izaak Walton.

Strange to say, the experiment of starting Chinese laundries in London has encountered grievous reverses.

Lese-majcste has discovered a new form of offense in Germany. Let ail be warned when they are in Germany to get up on their feet in a hurry whenever anyone "liochs der kaiser." It will not do to believe that the indivi dual that hochs has been drinking too much, because that allows no excuse for remaining seated when his maj esty's name is spoken. The courts have decided that. A town councillor has lately been tried and sentenced for forgetting his duty to the crown's might. It is not impossible that the predic tion that the day of the sailing vessel has passed will be falsified by the event. It is beginning to be seen by eome shrewd men that the esstential thing in some classes of transportation is to get the articles transported to their destination as cheaply as possi ble, and that the factor of time is only one of many that must be considered In order to achieve profitable results. Hence it may happen that a half a century from now such commodities as coal and pig iron will scarcely ever be shipped in steam vessels. Indeed, the proposition to build huge sailing colliers is already mooted in the United States, and is likely to be car ried out by some of the big railroad companies whose roads tap American coal mines convenient to deep water. Another communistic experiment has come to grief in the dissolution of the Christian Commonwealth Col ony, which was founded three years ago in Muscogee county, Georgia, by 40 men, women and children from Ohio. They were an exceptionally in telligent and worthy body of people. Plain cottages were built, and a com mon dining hall, wjilch was also used for religious services, was established. The first year was a prosperous one. Fine crops were raised and good prices secured for the products. A sawmill was built, a gristmill and a broom factory were profitably operated, and a dairy not only furnished the community with all the milk and but ter i.eeded, but afforded a surplus for the market. Then new members came and trouble began. Many shirked their work; gossip and scandal be came rife; debts were Incurred which there was no money to meet, and now it is announced that the colony has gene to pieces. It Is announced in the west that a way has been found to prepare the 1! :iite deposits in Minnesota and the lu <tas for ready consumption In ■toves and furnaces. These lignite beds lie near the surface, are almost limitless in extent, and are In a coun try which mu.it pay a L.OO-nillc freight haul for coal, lint the use of lignite for fuel has been retarded by the lack hitherto of a successful method of so treating It as to make it burn evenly front the surface to the core, as does u lump of coal. In Europe It Is bri quet ted by a secret process, which Americans have not been able to fathom. The chief trouble has been that lignite contains from lo to 20 percent of water, and that the Mglutliianta used4o mould the lignite into bricks contained also a large per cent of moisture. An experienced miner, who bus been conducting ex periments for former Benator Wash but ii of Mtnuesota. thinks that he has solved the problem, lie entiinutes that lignite briquettes, eacu the sUe of a muii't tint, cull be loudetl on curs ut less thii'i flu ton, und says that lu fuel capacity It will equal llockluu «oal. Bishop Potter ot New York City de plores the decline of home cooking, and expresses sorrow for the coming of what he calls the "tinned" era. What a country is China for the newspapers of the future! For the 400,000,000 inhabitants of the Celestial Empire there are present 60 news papers, or only one for every 8,000,000. Bot-* the London Express and the London Mail dwell upon the decadence of British trade owing to American and German competition. They are endeavoring to get self-satisfied John Bull to realize the seriousness of the situation. The automobile is likely to be util ized for more purposes than simple transportation. An ingenious indivi dual of Wnloughby, Ohio, has rigged up a connection between his barn and residence by means of which he can, immediately the power is turned off at the trolley station for the night, switch his automobile storage battery in use, thus furnishing a current for lighting purposes for the remainder of the night "A handicap is a burden laid upon one who is swift or strong to reduce any advantage which he may have over the slow and the weak. By curi ous usage the meaning of the word is reversed in common speech" says the Christian Register. We speak as if it was a burden laid upon the weak, and was the cause of their failure. The sentiment of generosity is the han dicap laid upon the strong, that they may be helpful and not harmful in their relations with the weak. The Colorado Museum association has bousht a collection of stuffed birds and animals, which will be the nucleus of a great Rocky Mountain 1 museum, the site of which will be the i City Park of Denver. A' museum thoroughly representative of the Rocky Mountain region would be of the highest interest and value. In par ticular, such a museum should seek to amass the most complete memorials of Indian life which, to the men of a few hundred years hence, will be mat ter of deep wonder and curiosity. The postoflice department has de cided upon six special stamps for the benefit of the Pan-American exposi tion at Buffalo. The one-cent stamp, of green color, will have a picture of a lake steamer to represent the great transportation industry of the inland seas in which Buffalo is so much in terested. The two-cent stamp, printed in red, will have a railway train; the four-cent stamp, in red brown, an I automobile; the five-cent stamp, in , blue, a picture of the new bridge at Niagara Falls; the eight-cent stamp, in lilac, a picture of the lock at Sault Ste. Marie, and the ten-cent stamp, o* light brown, an ocean steamer. A striking illustration of either the i carelessness or ignorance of the Ameri- I can people is furnished by the annual report of the operations of the dead j letter office. Nothing, perhaps, indi- I cates more clearly than does there- | port of the operations of the dead letter office one of the worst national ; traits or weaknesses. The American people are surely careless, and j whether this is due to the rush and hurry of their every day life or to faults in the system of education can- ! not lie told off hand. Undoubtedly both causes contribute to the result. Again, ynany people take it for granted that the government, having under taken to carry the mail, will see to it that letters and parcels are delivered at their destination, even though the address may be faulty in some re spec Is. The Indianapolis Journal quotes mu nicipal and penological statisticians us naying "that indiumtpolls ranks as one of the best policed cities in the United States, und gives much of the cred it for this to the merchant po lice, an able adjunct of the regular force.

THE . . t DESPERATE CASE OF PERCIVAL. \ Percival fell that this world was come to an end for hin> and he was trying to convince himself that he didn't care a continental »112 it was. He iat in a chair that seemed incompati- Dle with any sort of discomfort, his pipe was between his teeth and he had been notified of a raise in his salary :hat very week; nevertheless the the chair could not hold him in its padded embrace, and he got up and paced about the room in the regulation Style of the caged panther; his pipe had gone out long ago, and as for the salary, what to him was salary. He felt in the breast pocket of his soat and drew out a letter, or rather i note, which he read with a scowl :orrugating his brow. Then with a succession of angry jerks, he tore it across and across and dropped the pieces, fluttering on the hearth. A moment later he gathered the pieces .n a heap, and, striking a match, set 3re to them. As the flame gradually iied out from the rustling tinder a thought seemed to strike him and he telt in his breast pocket again. This :ime he took out a pocket book and sxtracted a small package wrapped in :issue paper from a special compart ment; this also he laid on the hearth, ind, with the same expression of an gry determination on his face, struck mother match and held it to the paper. It did not burn as freely as '.he other for a minute, but suddenly it flared up so that he had to start back to avoid the flame. The next in stant there was nothing on the hearth but ashes and a particularly unpleas ant smell permeated the room. Percival drew a deep breath and re nained staring moodily at the black- I Jned fragments on the hearth for sev- I iral minutes. Then, with what seemed ;o be an effort, he rose and began to ; thistle. What did it matter, after I ill? What did anything matter? No girl was worth a moment's worry. In accordance with this decision he ?at down again and struck a third ! natch with which he lighted his pipe. He puffed away with preternatural ;alm for a little while and then took Ihe evening paper from the table and turned to the theatrical advertise ments. "I might as well enjoy myself," he mid. "That's probably what she's loing. I'll simply devote the rest of i my existence to having a good time, tf she ever hears of me at all it will be as a light-hearted man about town. I Let's see what is on. No, I'm not | going to afford her the satisfaction of : teeing me droon into an early grave. | My harp doesn't hang on any weeping ! willow tree. I'll tune her up and pick jut rag-time tunes." The paper dropped to the floor and Se continued with a melancholy eye sn the engraving of Napoleon at St. Helena, which hung on the wall: "I'll lissipate; that's what I'll do- fill the I :up that clears today of past regrets inil future fears —whoop 'er up lCliza Jane. 1 believe I'll drink a bottle of jeer before I goto bed tonight, just ; is a starter.

I guess it's too soon for a letter, but •he might send a messenger. Then I sou Id coldly express my regn t that I was unable to see her and suggest that it would perhaps be better that our correspondence should cease. That would si ttle the matter and it would be a satisfaction to know that It was actually settled. I guess it's settled, anyway. "I wond* r how tlir.t trial balance It Mining out.

Not that I wouldn't have worked just ss lutrd for her. There was our home to work for then. Now It will be just money grubbing. Well, I'll grub to ( beat the band." He laughed u harsh, sardonic and dissyllable laugh, the sound of which reminded him of a villain in u black cloak whom In happlur days hu had guyed from a gullery nest He felt that be had misjudged (list villain's art, but at tho same time he ceased his soliloquy and lit his pipe again. It was easier to stop talking than to geep front thinking, and Ills thoughts weut wandering off to the little home they two had planned. There prob ably never had been a house built just exactly like it, and there prob ably never would have been, but It had grown very familiar to him in the first half-waking hours of morning —particularly the room where they would sit together. Her face —! Castles in Spain! Money grubbing now; a deadening of human feeling, a self-contained, self-sufficing existence that would harden his heart and set his face in lines that would scare chil dren. He took a savage satisfaction in the contemplation of his future self, but caught himself softening at the picture of this adamantine millionaire, yielding to the appeal of the love of his youth and raising her from pover ty to affluence; so he picked up the newspaper again and tried to interest himself in the partition of China. The door bell below suddenly rang and Percival started to his feet. Could it be the messenger? He half opened his door and listened. He heard his landlady say. "I think he's upstairs in his room now. You can go up and see; it's right at the head of the stairs." and then he retreated to his chair, choked with emotion. It was the laundryman with, his weekly bill. Would she have written that note, after all? Suppose she could have ex plained. And would it not be better to give her the opportunity to explain? Of course she could. She could make him look like a fool in one sentence, but he was not the man to allow any girl to twist him around her little finger. He would show her that. A trivial cause, perhaps, a's some people might look at it. but what could there be trivial in their intercourse. Look ing back ho could remember other in stances, slight in themselves, but were they not as floating straws show ing the ebbing tide of love? But to return to tho Chinese ques tion. Oh. hang the Chinese question! Yet it should be a matter of human in terest. Great nations were playing a great game there; armies were gather ing. How would it be to enlist. Here was a subject worthy of serious con sideration. What could life offer him here but the prospect of a dreary slav ing over account books. Was that a career for a man with blood in his veins and strength in his sinews? On the other hand, strenuous activity, the joy of conflict, the thrill of danger— and then a glorious death. She would hear of it and perhaps her blinding tears would fall fast upon the printed page where his name would «ppear in capital letters in the list of the slain. They might perhaps bring his mortal remains back in a metal cas ket. They have done that for the boys who fell in Cuba, and while Per cival thought at the time it was a piece of idiotic sentimental extrava gance, now it seemed only the proper and decent thing to do. The services would he held at the church, of course, and there would bo pathetic allusions to the young hero, who animated by sentiments of the loftiest patriotism, responded gladly to his country's call and laid down his life on the sacred altarof —eeofr —of that country. The chances were good for a swooning at that. But after all it would not be well to go away with bitterness in his heart. She must understand that though Fate had spoken and an eternal separation must be—that it.was his unalterable determination that it should be —yet hi* would be faithful to her memory. He would release her formally from her engagement—very formally. She should understand, yet he would p'.ace an icy barrier before her —and ;hen he would bid her farewell for ever. Perhaps a letter would be the best way. No. Letters were only letters, lia ble to misconstruction, and there should be no mistaking his firm in tention. Yet it might be put bitter in writ ing. Hut then there was always the dan ger uf a letter falling Into the hands of a third party. Tho old man might open it. Just as well to call tomor row evening. Where was the sense of putting it off '.' If It had to be done il might just as wt II be dune at once. Percival put on his coat and went out. Perhaps ten minutes bad elapsed since the eternal farewell had been i |iok« n and the young man and the girl were seated on the sofa talking it over. They were not yet separated far from It "You might Just as veil have given me another," lie said, plaintively. "Then all this misery would have been a\ oldi d."

Sir Henri Joly, the lieutenant-gov ernor of British Columbia, with the assistance of the Natural History so jiety of that province, is taking steps to import large quantities of song birds from England and eastern Can ida. It is believed that they will be rapidly acclimatized, and will thrive in British Columbia. No century in history has been with out severe earthquakes in southern Italy. Thousands have perished there. Vesuvius adds to the danger of th:.t land, and the town of Torre del Greco, which lies under the mountain, may meet the fate of Pompeii and Hercu lanaeum any day. It has been partially destroyed several times. In the new switch tower In the Grand Central yard, New York City, the windows are of green glass. It is a, great protection to the eyes of tho employes, and enables them to keep their vision at its normal strength at all times. The switch tower contains 176 levers, which operate the switches and signals by compressed air. The reports of the test of the new 12-inch naval gun at the Indian Head proving-grounds are most en couraging, and claims are advanced that the highest velocity ever attained bv a 12-inch gun waft achieved. The projectile for this gvn, which is one of 40 recently ordeied for new battleships and heavy cruisers, weighs 850 pounds, and is fired with a charge of 300 pounds of smokeless powder. The pressure at the breech developed In these tests was 16 1-2 tons to the square inch, and the muzzle velocity of the projectile was 2854 feet per second. The previous record for a gun of this size is stated at from 2500 to 2600 feet per second. INSECTS IN METAL. The Ingenious I)evl»o of n Frenchman for ICeprmlitcing Tli«*tu. Did you ever see a copper caterpillar, a silver centipede, or a nickel gnat? Yet these and many similar objects can be had. if not for the asking, at least I for a reasonable amount of money, at several places in New York. Who dis covered theeuriousart is unknown,but It was introduced into this city by an t eccentric Frenchman who said that ho had elaborated the discovery of some chemist* in Paris. M. Paul Despotte, for such was the man's name, declared his secret to bo as follows; He first ' lanipened the luckless insect, leaf or flower and then blew on it with a blowpipe. The object thus dusted was placed in an electrolytic bath, and upon it the metal was precipitated by the galvanic current. The object was | then transferred to a second bath, I from which all the organic matter was i dissolved by an alkali. The metalio J shell which remained was slightly ; In ated, touched with some kind of ! shellac, and the thing was done. The | Inventor carried with him quite a col- I lection of these preparations. The i most Interesting of all were a mosquito j in gold and a hairy geranium leaf in | copper. The delicacy of the work was extra ordinary. I'nder a powerful magnify ing glass the little organs which are invisible to the human eye were seen perfectly reproduced in metal. The ; discovery does not seem to have been , utilized to any great extent so far as i trade Is concerned, but has been taken | up by many amateurs. This fall an in- I genlotis girl up town first covered the back of ber hand with black lead and then plated it with metal. She re moved this, which was a perfect cast, and used It ns a matrix. In which she : deposited a second coat of metal, which -ill.- finally mounted on a piece of satin.

D. Why Bartenders Are Teetotalers. When one of our leading candy shops hires a new girl the rule is to say to her: "Xow, Birdie, you may help yourself to the best there is in the house. Eat as much as you please. Eat morning, noon and night. Don't mind us. But you must not carry any away in packages." In a short time she is so surfeited that the thought of eating candy causes nausea. For quite a different reason the bartender does not drink. He knows too well the ingredients of his liquors. He is too fa miliar with blends and compounds. He is satiated with the constant vision of men putting the enemy to their mouths to steal away their brains. The sight of drunken ness fills him with disgust. I venture the assertion that the most abstemious class in this community is composed of the men behind the bar. The non-refilling bottle is unpopular with keepers of bars because it prevents the barman from putting his own com pounds into packages bearing standard la bels. One of the more noted restaurant eurs in this city is openly charged by a wholesale liquor dealer with watering his whiskies. I dare say they all do it. The "drinkin' is got to support the eatin'." Dealers in barroom and bottlers' supplies openly advertise essences and essential oils for the compounding of whiskies, just as other merchants advertise coloring mat ter for making white butter look rich .and (it to eat. There are rye whisky essences, bourbon whisky essences, Scotch and Irish I whisky essences, gin essences, rum es ! senees, brandy essences, kummel essences [ and all kinds of bitters essences. A ma i terial called "Ageing" is sold for the pur | pose of "mellowing" and smoothing" I liquors. A small quantity will impart to | new liquors all the properties conferred by age in a cask. It is soft and agreeable to the palate, and gives not only age but body to the blend. When whisky is too dark or too light in j color the correct shade is produced by a ] "sugar coloring" which is guaranteed not 1 to cloud or thicken by age. It is sold by | the gallon. There are other artificial col -1 orings for different drinks —scarlet, red, ! green, yellow and brown. There are seda i tive powders for clarifying wines.
