DEATH OF THE KING.-His Majesty, who had
been to the baths at Aix-la.C hapelle for the
benefit of his health, was overcome on his way
home with extreme lassitude, and was just able
to reach Malm6, in his own dominions. Here
the King stopped, but the exhaustion increased,
and on September is his Majesty breathed his
last. He is succeeded by his brother, Prince
Oscar. The late King deserves mention as one

THEIRS shows great tact in hitting the exact tone
for the President Of a Conservative Gepubiic,' a
Republic inadvcrsity indeed, but not in dismay.
The English Press has been looking so ex-
c~lusivcly at the working of the Ballot in the
Pontefract and Preston elections, that it has
missed for the most part a much more inStruc-
tive experiment,-the first trial of tue Ballot IN
Ireland. There was an election the other day
Of a town councillor 10 Limerick. One candi-
date was a moderate Liberal The other was
a semi-Feuian. Under the open voting the lat
ter would certainly have been returned. I'm
der the Ballot the moderate Liberal was return
ed by a good majority. There is every reason
to hope that the working of the secret system in
ireland will compensate for the evils, if any, it
may cause in England.

his Imprisonment will be to give an enormously
increased circulation to his forthcoming book, to

the National Assembly tolerably certain, and
generally to multiply enormously the impor-
lance Of his views and the influence Of his at

were by no means despicable productions, and he
was a frequent contributor to the Swedish news

gave considerable offence to the Germans. His
successor, Prince Oscar, is we'll known as a man
of talent, and was recently chosen President Of
the international Congress Of Prehistoric Ar

We are being continually reminded by the
advocates Of beet sugar, of the increasing i'm
portance and extent Of that industry, but it is
impossible to avoid the suspicion that behind all
this emphasis Of protestation is a lurking con-
sciOusnesS OF weakness. Beet sugar, iG conse-
quence Of the rise in price of materials used in
its manufacture, the augmented taxation in
France, and the everlasting labour difficulty, is
becoming more expensive to produce, whilst the
doubt which must always exist as to the antici-
pated yield of sugar from a given crop of roots,
shows clearly the element Of speculation in
yolved in the enterprise, The number of usines
IN France is $40, shelving an increase of 80 over
the previous year, whilst the power of produc-
ton {or more propably extraction J, we are told,
has Increased in greater proportion. This
shows some movement, but their was q consider
able deficit in the last crop, and the yield Of
sugar has been low. Strange to say, it is prin-
cipally upon this ground that the Journal de-:
Fa6ricamts de Sucre bases an encouraging esti-
mate for 1928. Because this is a bad year
the next must be a good one, is the convincing
rgument Of the Journaz, and, Of course, the
greater the want ofoucceSs now the larger room
there is for hope in the future. A practical
consideration, and one that presses Immediately,
is that as the cereal crops extend in France, as
they are being extended, the b%eet-root area will
diminish, and the prospect Of compromising for
this decrease liz quantity Of roots is founded
upon a desired yield Of 6.25 per cent, instead
of 5.25 per cont. sheWn in last years. opera6ons

Among the people who went to Bos
ton to enjoy the Jubilee i'll quiet sort
of q way, was Mr.. Charles A. Robeson.
The register at the hotel where he stop
ped showed that he was from Portland,
Oregon. He was II quiet man, gentle
manly in his department. suave in man
ner, and reserved in his speech, as is
common with Western men. After Il
time it somehow leaked out that he was
the possossor of gold mine of fabulous
wealth, situated among the mountains
of Oregon. He was ques ioned i'll rela
ton to the matter, and admitted that
such was the fact. On being urged to
do so, he reluctantly showed specimens
taken from this mine. They were the
finest ever seen at the Hub. Would he
sell an interest in the mine? He thought
not. He had good thing, and was sat
istied to keep it to himself. From this
time Mr. Robeson was Il favorite with
the Bostonians. He was invited to ride
behind fast horses, to sail in fine boats,
to dine at Parker's. AT length out of
pure politeness and gratitude to his new
'ir ends he was induced to part with an
interest in the mine. AS the cost Of
working the mine was slight, most Of
the money was paid directly to the
owner Of the land. A company was
formed, and officers appointed, who,
with Mr.. Robeson, departed to the new
Ophir. Arriving at San Francisco, the
party engaged passage on the steamer
Ajax, bound for Portland. On the
morning for sailing all were on board.
When the steamer had been out some
hours, search was made for the leader
of the expedition. He was not on
board A few thought he had fallen
overheard some believed that he had
been murdered for his money but
most thought that he had departed in-
tentionally. The directors ofthis mining
enterprise went back to Boston wiser
but poorer men. Stock III this mine is
for sale cheap.

Mark Twain and the Cats.

and told concerning the life and hist0r,
of this genius that we prop Sc her,
merely To- record an extract from one o
his bright and sparkling speeches recent
" delivered before social meeting oil
literary men:
"When ! was fou teen, was living

this hot candy in the snow, and they

the meantime we were gone to bed-we
were not invited to attend this party
we were too young. The young ladies
and gentlemen were assembled there
and Jim and | were in bed. There was
about four inches of snow on the roof
of this eli, and our window looked Out
onto it, and it was frozen hard. A
couple of tom cats-it is possible one
might have oeen Of the opposite sex
were assembled on the chimney in the
middle of this ell, and they were growl-
ing at a fearful rate, and switching their
tails about and going or, and we couldn't
sleep all. Finally Jim said, For two

a mighty good notion to do it; says |.

he wouldn't. Finally | did get his
ambition up, and he raised the window
and climbed cut on that icy root, with
nothing on but his socks and very
short shirt. He went climbing along
on all fours on the roof towards this
chimney wheie the cats were. In the
meantime these ladies and gentlemen
were enjoying themselves down under
the caves, and when Jim got almost to
that chimney he made u pass at the
cats, and his heels flew up, and he shot
down and crashe through those vines.
and lit in the midst of the ladies and
gentlemen, and sat down in those not
saucers of candy. There was a general
stampede, of course, and he came up
stairs dropping pieces of chinaware and
candy all the way up, and when he got
up there-now everybody in the world
would have gone into profanity or some
thing calculated to relieve the mind,
but he didn't; he scraped the candy off
his legs, nursed his blisters Il little, and
said, | could have ketched them cats if

The modern era of explosions intiu
cnces even the contents of the pill box.
Some pills prescribed by physician in
England contained, it is reported, one
half grain nitrate of silver, one sixth
grain extract nuX vomica, and onehalf
grain murlate morphine, together with
cons. roS. and extract of gentian. They
exploded i'll very short time, evolving
a considerable amount of heat. A SINH
lar case is reported to have occurred at
Nottingham, England, where the physi
cian prescribed pills containing four
grains of nitrate or silver, one grain
muriate of morphine and extract of
gentian. The lady patient, who had the
box about her person, was badly burn
ed by the explosion. Despising all
such chemical, detonating pellets, the
