Value Of a Capable Man.

Some ingenious estimates of the
pecuniary value of man have been
made by the Montreal Trade Review.
"For example, a bookkeeper re-
ceiving $4,000 year. In a purely
financial view it requires $4,000
bearing per cent interest to yield
$4,000 a year. If a man is worth
the price he comands-and men
who receive salaries are more apt
to be undervalued-the bookkeeper
is equal financially to the capitalist
who has $4,000, which he loans
out at 4 per cent and lives on his
income. But some men get much
larger salaries. Let the man who
receives only $1,000 a year pause
to consider before moaning over his
hard lot, that he commands an in
come on $4,000, or, perchance,
$4,000. If lie persists in consid
ering his situation unfortunate let
him ask if he would choose to be
placed in the condition of some ac-
quaintance whom he may know and
who having $4,000 at command
is deficient of ability to secure or
fill lucrative position and one
commanding honor and respect. Is
it not probable that the annoyances
over a safe and prudent investment
for the capital, with the chances of
loss, fully equal such as are ordi-
narily encountered by those in re-
sponsible positions?"
The great fact which the Review
seems to have overlooked is that
the man wears out and dies, while
the $50, 900 after drawing interest for
q thousand wears is as good as new.

A Philadelphia lady caused q
scene of CONSERVATION recently in
the House of Commons. She went
there as visitor, carrying on her
arm little velvet bag, in which
were smelling bottle, a handker-
chief and a few other toilet access
sories. No sooner was she inside
the door than seven stalwart police
men, with thoughts of dynamite in
their mind, sprang up with conster-
nation in their faces and surrounded
the astonished but not dismayed
American. They wanted to exam
inc the dangerous-looking bag, but
the member of Parliament who es-
corted the lady would not allow it.
She was only permitted to pass,
however, by the gentleman assur-
ing the policemen that he would be
responsible for the contents OF the
mysterious bag.

years the Arabs have obtained a
footing there and have probably
promoted the art of war among the
natives. The country over which
Stanley is said to have extended
his authority covers anywhere from
100000 to 100000 square miles-a
sizable empire to conquer with a
few hundred natives. Comparing
this alleged exploit with the expe-

How Children Acquire the Habit Of
Using the Left Hand.

If baby is inclined to hold things
in his left hand instead of his right
each time you see him do SO change
the spoon or toy over to the ri ght
hand. If, however, you find that
he has become decidedly left handed
without your knowing it and insists
on holding things in that hand take
a soft handkerchief and bind it up.
He will thus be compelled to use
the right one and in a little while
will outgrow the desire to use the
left. We have just come across the
following, which may be of interest
to mothers. 1t strikes us that it
may be the true solution of many
cases of left handedness. DR.. Feltz,
in L'Art Medicale, relates the fol-
lowing as a possible explanation Of
the occurrence of left handedness
In family composed of five per-
sons the father and mother were
right handed, as was also the eldest
son, who had been cared for in his
infancy by a nurse. The second
child had been nursed by the mother
and was left handed. The third
child, also nursed by the mother,
was, at the age of one year, evidently
left handed, never grasping any OBJ
ject with its right hand DR.. Feltz
noticed that the mother always car
ried the child on her left arm, and,
upon being questioned, said it had
always been her custom to carry her
children on this arm. The doctor
advised her to hold the child on her
right arm. She did so; the child
soon began to use its right hand.
The doctor explained that when the
nurse carried the child on her left
arm the left arm of the infant is the
one which is free and which, con-
it learns to use 10 the
neglect Of the right.-Philadelphia

McGregor. in which General Grant
passed his last hours, is kept just
as it was when he died, with the ex-
ception of the removal of a few per
sonal belongings of the family. The
two big leather-covered easy chairs
in which he passed SO many pain
full days are draped in black and
left in the same position they were
in when he occupied them. The
clock on the mantle has been silent
since the moment of his death,
when the doctor stopped it, and the

was prohibited are in case on the
wall, together with his pencil and a
couple of messages in writing to
Mr.. Washington Post.

ing" On the other hand l regard
it as something that is vicious and
degrading. | merely claim that
there are worse things than ''toot,"
and occasionally ''toot' is excus-
able. For example, when man is
detected, when sorrow has cast him
down, when misfortune has sgiven
him the blues or when ennui seizes
him, it is not so bad after all to
seek surcease in a ''toot." And |
want to say again that the married
man who ''toots" occasionally is
not half so dangerous a citizen as
that one who, while observing the
most correct habits, forgets his wife
and his home all the time to make
diligent love to other women and
goes through society wolf in lambs
clothing, doing what harm he can
in any home without compunction
under the guise of immaculate re-
spectability. l think the wife to
whom | refer in this case ought to
forgive her husband without further
agitation. I am sure he will not go

and this one ''toot" has served to
make him ashamed of himself and
to increase his respect and love for
the purity of his home circle. For

Congressional Committee take il
for granted, gentlemen, that we
shall report favorably on this bill

the barbarous practice of holding
boxing contests with skin-tigh
gloves in the District of Columbia
as felony, and prescribing a pen
atty of not less than one year in
the penitentiary-

honorable member from Boston.

Mr.. Sullivan, we were-ah-con-
sidering this bill in relation to spar

opinion of it?
Congressman Sullivan-It's a
bloody shame to bring in such a
bill as that. I kin lick any feller
that's in favor of it, blank my eyes,
an I'm willin' to do it right here if
necessary
The chairman with alacrity y
Mr.. Sullivan's judgment, gentle
men, is that of an expert. l take
it for granted, gentlemen, that we
shall report unanimously against
this infamous bill.

is little supplement which we ven
ture to suggest:

son, of California.

about?

any man who favors the bill.
Congressman jacksonville will,
eh? Well, I'm for the bill, and he
can't lick one side of me. If he
thinks he can, he can have chance
right now.
Congressman Sullivan-No, I'm
not furninst the bill since I've had
a chance to look at it. It's a good
enough bill and I'll vote for it.

Stanley's Alleged Exploit.

The latest reports from Stanley
need verifcation. One is that after
a desperate campaign he has con-
quered all the tribes to the eastward
of the Albert Nyanza and estab-
lished government over them un-
der Emin Pasha. By the last au-
thentic advices from Stanley he had
effected a junction with Emin, but
came to him seeking rather than
giving aid. Emin held the lake
with his steamers and kept up his
communications along the west
branch Of the Nile to Wadelai and
Gondokoro, on the main river. Sub
sequently Stanley reopened COM
munication with his posts along
his route, most Of which he found
in a demoralized condition. Of
what has since occurred we have no
definite information, but it may be
that the two adventurers joining
forces have extended Emin's sway
over the strip of country lying be-
tween the Albert Nyanza and the
main stream of the Upper Nile.
Emin's steamers would greatly aid
that work, and the new territory, of
perhaps 5000 square miles, would
be contiguous to Emin's province.
The other statement that Stanley,
after fighting his way through Ug-
anda and conquering the natives,
has established the authority Of
the British East Africa Company
from the Upper Nile to the east
coast is less credible. Uganda is
powerful native kingdom, lying
round the northern end of the Vic
toria Nyanza and having popula-
ton, with its tributary states, of
about 100000. It has a kind Of
military organization, and Of late

The True Inwardness of q Toot

I know a lady who is very mao
at her husband because he fell in
with the boys few night ago and
went out on "toot." l presume
it is unnecessary to explain here
what 'toot' is. Nearly every full
grown male adult in the world has
had "toot" or two in his life, and
l would be inclined to suspect the
man who would plead mot guilty
to that impeachment. A ''toot' is
necessarily something riotous. To
be frank, a 'toot' means strong
drink, cards perhaps, front row
in the varieties, may be a supper
after the opera, and always a
hack ride in the small hours. In
the abstract a ''toot" is very wrong.
1t is degrading and pernicious-a
shameless sort of folly, in short,
that correct morals cannot and
should not openly countenance
But it is natural, and | want to say
to this much offended wife that in
the majority of times a "toot" is a
good thing for some men. It's con-
sequences are remorse and shame
Any good man who goes off on
"toot" at long intervals-say once
or twice a year-always loves and
respects the purity Of his own home
more after the "toot" than he did
before. The gilded bad things he
sees and does on "toot" are sure
to suffer by comparison with the
virtue and dignity of his home, and
that of itself is sufficient 10 make
him very much ashamed of his folly
and very tender and regardful Of
those whom his conscience is sure
to tell him he has wronged. Besides
4 "toot" gives him the headache
and fills him full Of good resolves.

all dashed to the ground b,
that senatorial committee, as i
plainly informed us that the U. S
Government would never make
canals or in any way take the water
out of any stream for irrigatine
purposes in the Territory of Idaho
but that we must do that ourselves
which every one knows is impossi.
BILE, because we have no surplus
funds to invest in that way, while
if the several foreign corporations
who are engaged in these enterpri-
ses is any criterion to go by, at least
a generation will pass before this
wilderness will bloom from the
effects of irrigation. AS for those
alien laws which a certain part of
the press are holding up to the
miners as a scarecrow, and that
statehood is the only sure antidote.
they will be repealed this winter,
or at least the part that effects our
mining interests, as there is no op-
position to such modification in
either house of congress.
Now, | think I have shown by
these few facts and figures that Ida
ho wants everything else but state
hood at this time, in fact it looks
almost like a conspiracy, or a raid
on the peoples pockets for the pur-
pose Of resurrecting a few old po-
Iitical hacks and satisfying an un-
known quantity of the smaller fry
aspirants to any position large or
small which has spoils attached to
it. AS a matter of course these sun
shine patriots are all in favor Of
statehood. No matter which po-
litical party they belong to they
look upon the taxpayer as their
legitimate prey, and as there will
be several scores of places to be
filled the chances of each will be
many times multiplied of falling
into some Office with little work
and large pay; and if they can only
cajole the people into their state
hood scheme it will be of no conse-
quence whether those thousands of
men and millions of dollars ever
or not within the bounds
Of Idaho, because the shackles are
riveted on and cannot be taken off |
by any action of the heavil ily-ladened |
taxpayer. But, let me ask, what |
will those thousands of men and |
of dollars do if they should |
come to Idaho? Would they en-
gage in agriculture and horticulture,
or would they invest in mines, or
stock-raising, or manufactures? I
will not answer these questions, but
ask seven-eighths of those that are
now engaged in these various pur-
suits to answer them. The whole
ruth of the matter is, in a nutshell, /
statehood is an absurdity to any
poverty stricken country with only
lalf enough people to properly
and these boomers know

rent for immediate admission. They

DIAMOND STEALING.
A Sharp Gene Practiced on London
Dealers.

| Hatton Garden, the great dia
mond district of London, had quite
an unpleasant experience last year
says an importer All the dealers
lost great number of stones, and
they couldn't understand how the
leakage occurred until about Christ
mas. After sorting and sizing up
they would put the stones in the
usual parcels with the weights mark
ed. When they sold the parcels
they would find that the weight had
decreased and that one or two of
the stones had vanished. Many
small dealers, who never let the
stuff go out Of their sight and who
had no assistants, suffered as we'll
as the others, and for months it re-
mained a mystery of the deepest
kind. Everybody was afraid of ev-
erybody else, and some quit coming
to the Diamond Exchange, but
whether they came or not their
losses went on just the same. At
last, almost by accident, the mys-
terry was solved, and the solution
was simple enough.
There was small dealer who lived
in Clerkenwell. He wore glasses
and professed to be very short
sighted This gentleman bought
sparingly last year, but he did a
tremendous amount of going round
and examing. An employe Of a
large Hatten Garden firm became
suspicious of this small dealer, and
had talk with his employers. The
next time the eyeglasses came, be-
fore the safe was opened and any
anything handed out, two men were
posted where they could watch every
movement of the visitor. He opened
paper of stones about one and a
quarter carats apiece }, with ninety
six stones in the parcel. He put
them close to his eyes and then
lowered them a little, as if he wanted
to damp them.
"Damping," may be stated, is
breathing upon the stones. Most
dealers do this when examing a !
parcel, as any flaw or faults can be
better observed as the moisture
evaporates.
After damping them he looked |
again, handed them back, made an
offer, which he knew would not be
accepted, and was going away. The
two men watching had not seen
him doing anything suspicious, but
still he was kept in conversation
while the parcel he had handled
was taken into the private office
and weighed. It was found about
two and a half carats short. Two
Of the stones had somehow disap-
peared. There was a consultation
and it was decided that he had
.hem in his mouth. One of the
men was instructed to get behind
lim and strike him suddenly at the
back Of his head while he was talk
ng.
This was done, and Mr.. Eyeglasses
spit out the two one and a quarter
carat stones. He was pounced upon,
md was given the choice of restitu-
ion of all former losses or arrest. /
He chose the former and, having a
arge sum of Bank of England notes s
n his pocket, he settled the score.
lie was then allowed to 60. The !
xpectoration incident got around
he next day, when a rush was made
or his place of business. He was
ut, and he remained out until l 9
eft London. He will most likely
tay away, for if he ever shows his p
ace around Hatton Garden again +
