ton treaty. 1t will be remembered that
Halves was the defaulting Treasurer of
COvington, that he found refuge in Can
ada, and was afterward extradited for
forgery. He was indicted in Kenton
County for embezzlement and forgery,
and acquitted on the forgery indict-
ment. When his trial was called for on
the indictments for embezzlement,
Judge Jackson held that his trial on any
other charge than that stipulated in the
extradition and recognized in the treaty
would be violation of international
law, and he accordingly ordered his i'm
mediate release, with the privilege of
about six months time in which he
might make preparations for his return
to Canada. The decision has been
looked for with some interest, not only
at home, but in Great Britain. If the
treaty is imperfect, this case, with that
of Winslow, will render its imperfec-
tions more apparent, and they ought to
go toward bringing about an amended
treaty which would work more satisfac-
torily to the interests of both countries.

NATIONAL Repository: Among the dis
coveries made by Colonel Rawlinson in
the excavations of Babylon was Nebuch-
adnezzar's hunting diary, with notes and
here and there portrait of his dogs,
sketched by himself, with his name under
it. He mentions in it his having been
ill; and while he was delirious he
thought he had been out to Craze like
the beasts of the field. Is not this a
wonderful corroboration of Scripture? :?
Rawlinson also found a pot of preserves
in an excellent state, and gave some to
Queen Victoria to taste. How little
Nebuchadnezzar's cook dreamed when
making them that twenty-five centuries
after the Queen of England would eat
some of the identical preserves that
figured at his masters tablet

The British youth, says a cores
Pondent, is the perfection of physical
manhood, as handsome as Apollo, as
strong as Sampson, as swift as an ante
lope and as enduring as iron. Prior OF
eighteen he is a callow, shame-faced
youth, with enormous feet, ill fitting
jackets and plug hat. After passing
thirty he grows beefy and stout. At
forty he is paunchy, with nose that is
growing bulbous. At fifty he short
winded; he measures forty-fve inches
around his chest and ninety-fve around
his waist; his nose is pitted and bloom
ing as strawberry; the top of his head
Is as white and as cleaning as billiard
ball, and he suffers from twinges in his
big toe.

The employment of women in the tel
egraph department has been complete

Their hours of work are from s a. m.

secutive hours out of these twelve.

which is raised to three when the girl is
competent. Girls may enter from four
teen to eighteen. The average pay re-
ceived is four dollars and half week,

INABILITY to get credit is often en-
phatically blessing in disguise, for the
would-be borrower, besides escaping an
embarrassing load of indebtedness, gen.
orally contrives to bridge over his tenn
porary distress, and frequently learns.
from his hard experience, a salutary les
son in thrift and industry that benefits
him the rest of his life. Not only does
tins hold true with regard to private in
dividuals but also with respect to public
corporations. The Southern railroads,
Tor instance, whose poor credit saved
them from contracting great mortgage
debts during the era of expansion. are
now the most prosperous of those in anv
section of the country. So far as the
future is concerned, therefore, it sbould
often dispirit rather than discourage a
man to find his path toward the slongb
OF Indebtedness blocked by a firm re-
fusal to credit.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Board of Alder
men to-day voted to investigate the causes
of the fatal West side fire. The Commits
sisner of Public Works was authorized to lay
larger mains in the vicinity OF the fire, as in
the opinion of the Aldermen much of the
loss of life and property was due to the in
sufficient supply of water.
NEW YORK, Sept. mo bodies have yet
been found in the ruins of the fire at Thirty
fifth Street and Tenth Avenue. The latest
estimate places the losses at $350,000, and
the insurance at $4,000.

THE surface of European Russia alone
is about equal to that which Gibbon
eitimates for the whole Russian Empire,
namely, 100000 square miles. With
all the acquisitions made since that time
of Catherine, the Russian Empire is still
second in magnitude to the British, the
latter being estimated to cover 1871 1896
square miles Of the earth's surface, and
the former s,325,393 square miles.

WHAT we know of the South Pole is
simply this, that nobody has got within

loftier than any discovered by northern

years ago as an officer of a German

THERE is considerable business now
done in the west in drying eggs, which,
when properly done, are said to retain
their original flavor and other character

consistency and poured in thin layers

placed in current of hot air and dry
rapidly. They are then put into hermet-
ically sealed cans for future use.

plainly visible when the heat of candle

ERASMUS WILSON, the eminent Lon
don surgeon, says: In travelling it is
advisable to eat frequently-not much at
a time, but often-and avoid alcohol.
Thus soup, coffee, tea, outlets, fruit, soda,
or seltzer water, should form the staple
of travelling diet, Travelling naturally
induces little heat and feverishness of
system, which cooling diet tends to
allay."
