INVOLVED WITH BALFOUR.
Dark Hints as to What Will Come Out at
the Embestier’s Trial.
The government has shown remark-
able courage in obtaining the arrest of
“Jabez Balfour, and the Tories are not a
little astonished thereat. It has long
been a part of their political creed that
the ministers would do everything de.
cently possible to prevent extradition
and the consequent raking mp of oid
scandals wherein thoss most involved
are all Gladstopean Liberals. It ix an
open secret that Harcourt and seversl
other members of the cabinet were of
this opinior, bat the majority yielded to
the views of Rosebery and Asquith, who
contended that the creditof bringing the
is little doubt that more than one hogor:
able reputation will be smirched in the
course of Balfour's trial.
Only the select few, mainly lawyers.
and bankraptey officers, are concerned
in the elaborate investigation of the af-
fairs of the Liberator Building society.
The other companies involved in its fall
were really aware of the vast ramifica-
of Balfour's sinister infloence and

How . Lovesick Youth Was Bled by a De-
signing Mother and Daughter. |
A youth belonging to a highly respect-
able family at St. Cloud recently met in
: the Boulevard de Strasbourg in Paris a
young lady with whose appearance he
was much struck.. He followed her,
watched her as she went into a house,
and having ascertained her name and
"| the fact that she lived with her widowed
mother contrived to find some one who
knew the ladies by way of getting an in-
troduction to them. He was extremely
well received and repeated the visit more
than once. Finally he determined to of-
fer marriage to the young lady, and he
spoke to the mother on the subject.
The mother was very sympathetic, but
declared it could not be. ‘‘But tell me
why not,” said the lovesick youth. ‘‘Be-
cause,” said the widow, bursting mto
tears, ‘‘my husband is a convict, a vil-
lain, who, abusing the power the law
‘gives him in France, has declared that
he will never give his consent to his
daughter's marriage unless he has 10,000
francs given to him.”
The youth said he was willing 1 to pay

THAT HEADSTRONG BOY.
The English Government Has Withdrawn
Its Threat to Spank the Khedive:
The boy who is the khedive of Egypt
has taken it back and said he didn’t mean
it, and so the English government has
withdrawn its threat tospank him. The
incident has much aggravated the Fey.
tian situation locally, but has imp
the British position before Fg Sh
powers. The exhibition of headstrong
stupidity by the modern pbarach serves
as an abundant excuse for England to
continue the protectorate until the lad
develops ordinary discretion. The first
suspicion that the khedive was prompt-
ed by European mischief makers to in-
sult his unwelcome British guests is no
longer held in view of the utter folly of
his outbreak.
The matter is regarded merely as an-
other proof of the incompetence of the
youngster for serious responsibilities.
The government accounts agres that his
renewed display of hostility toward the
English will make the task of Brith
supervision exceedingly difficult and may
lead to serious native ontbreaks.
The khedive's silly conduct and the
sad death of Sir Gerald Portal have up
set an- admirable diplomatic arrange-
ment. It had been decided that Lov
Cromer shonld go to St. Petersburg, and
that Sir Gerald Portal should succeed
him at Csiro The government was
only awaiting Sir Gerald's restoration to
‘health to carry the armangement into
effect. —London Letter.
Ris Mouth Growing Up.
_A very singular casé is that of a young
man of this county named Chandler.
For years his mcuth has shown a tend-
ency to grow up. Four years ago it be- -
came 80 small it was feared he would
starve, and a fund was raised by neigh-
bors, and he was sent to Chicago, where
the mouth was cut to the natural size
and pieces of flash grafted into the cor-
ners, thus hoping to prevent the closing.
This has been overcome, and his mouth
is rapidly growing up again, the opening
at present not being larger than an or-
dinary goose quill, through which he
takes all bis nourishment. It is thought
that he must eventually starve to death;
as there seers no way of preventing the
complete closing of the mouth, Oth-
erwise the young man seems healthy
- snd is capable of doing considerable
work. —Black Riveg Falls (Wis.) Letter

; His Heart Gaawed by a Bag.
A case of a boy being killed by a bug
that gnawed his heart deeply interests
Jocal physicians. Samuel Lennox, 7
_ years old, died a few days ago with very
peculiar symptoms. The boy had been
sick for some time, bat his case was dif-
ferent from any other. A post mortem
examination revealed that part of the
heart had been eaten away by an insect,
causing death. Nearly a year ago the
boy drank water from a brook and swal-
lowed a water bug. The insect ate its
way through the boy's stomach and then
began devouring the heirt, the boy
bleeding to death. —Mauncie {Ind.) Dis-
