EUGENE IN 1901.
A French Book Which Processes to Quote
the Empress and Bismarck.


the Empress and Bismarck.
book concerning the influence of
the French Empress Eugene upon the
events of 1S70-71 is about to be pub
lished in Paris. According to all tra-
ditions and history on the continent be-
yond the Vosges the Empress was SO
eager for the war that after the Emperor
had torn up in the ministry a COPY of
the declaration of war she aroused him
from his bed at midnight and persuaded
him to sign another copy. The author
of the new book, who calls himself De
Lano and claims to have been very near
to the Empress in the critical days, says
this tradition is all false, and that the
Empress and Emperor were very appre-
hensive of the results OF the war before
the declaration was made. Both knew
all about the strength of the Prussian
army and the temper of the leaders of
the Prussian state. June 90 one of Ma
poleon's agents wrote him from Carls-
bad, and De Lano says he possesses the
letter, as follows:
Il have just come from dinner with
the king of Prussia, Bismarck, Man
teuffel, etc. They all belong, body and
soul, to the reaction, and every one
knows how viciously such examples as
theirs would work. Manteuffel speaks
exclusively of alliances of Kings against
the whole democratic canaille of tho
Chambers and desires q return to the
absolute patriarchal despotism. AS l
raised the question of money he shout
ed: The best wars are waged without
money. Let. us only begin, and in
couple of months we will be in Paris.'''
De Lano also reproduces letter from
Eugenie concerning Gambetta. of whom
the Empress said: ''This raving mar ap-
pears to wish to substitute the widest
agitation for the systematic organization
that is SO much needed"
Tho Empress state of mind previous
to November 90 is mirrored in these
sentences from her own pen:

Joe Choate Is Somebody.

It is often interesting to note the private
habits and manners of men WHO play lead
ing parts on the public stage. There was
a blockade of street cars at Park row, just
in front of the postoflice at o'clock one
night. A tall man, with pipe stem legs
and n slender torso which seemed scarcely
capable of sustaining the massive, tower
ing head, sauntered along, with one hand
in the right trousers pocket, deeply alb
sorbed in thought.
A crowd was awaiting the lifting of the
blockade. The man, after Il careless up
ward glance, scrambled over the platforms
of two cars with his eyes still fixed down
ward us if in brown study. The crowd
accepted the lesson. He entered Sixth
avenue al" car in which he took the only
vacant seat.
At Chambers street a poorly dressed
woman entered. No one stirred. A min
ute afterward the mau looked up. Bound
ing from his seat, hat in hand, with Il low
bow and a deeply courteous one, be said,
ALLOW me to offer you Il seat, madam"
(, With thanks the woman accepted and
closely watched the face of the man, which
was in an instant again wrapped in the alb
stract expression of deep meditation.
For ten blocks the woman's eyes rested
on that strong, intellectual face. Suddenly
she turned to man sitting at her side
DO you know that gentleman" she asked
That's Joe Choate, the great lawyer" was
the reply. "Oh," she calculated with al
air of relief, ~ was sure he was somebody

Tic wastefu, s,achinery of elections.

The people of the United States have
happy faculty of deluding themselves with
the idea that their machinery of govern
ment is inexpensive. They point with
pride to the fact that the judges of the
courts. and the executive and legislative
officers of the country, cost less in actual
salaries than officers performing CORE
spending functions in Europe. But what
is lost sight of in this boast is the enor-
mously wasteful and expensive machinery
of elections which has grown up side by
side with American office seeking, the cost
of which, added to that arising from the
waste and corruption of inefficient and
party service and to the expense of our
ostensble official organism, makes the
whole outlay to the people Of the United
States many times more than what the
like services are performed for in other
countries So that while there is a seeming
saving there is in fact frightful waste,
which must always exist when the actual
machinery of domination, which ultimate
ly produces the result, is hidden and ire

Scotch Middle Class Thri #.

A Scotch woman, the wife of IL Philadel-
phia merchant, returned from her own
land with some very funny stories of the
canny middle class Caledonians. AS girl
the nearness characteriZing them was IN
noticed, but after living on this side, she
says, American liberaiity in money mat
tiers contrasts very strikingly with Scotch
thrift. Her first outing after getting home
was on the invitation of young man, a
cousin, who was civil enough to ask her to
county flower show.
AS his fathers carriage was used in
transporting them to the show no ques-
ton of who was to pay arose until they
reached the entrance. Here the lady, ac-
Gust omed to having her escort make ar

Trade in the East.

EnrInnd,s Odd Dishes.

In some parts of England snails are still
eaten, ret pc ordinary articles OF eiet, but
at stated feasts. We have in bygone days,
when living on the borders of the nail
making districts of Staffordshire, seen men
filing paper bags with snails to make
soup, and we remembered being told that
they were excellent eating. The English
prejudice against snails is singular, since
from time immemorial considerable guam
titles have been collected round London
and on the Kent pastures for export to
France In the latter country there is No
squeamisnness; most people there only re-
s,ret that snails are too expensive to be in
dulged in frequently. In Covent Garden
the common small snail often appears for
sale; the purchasers, however, are almost
exclusively members of the French, Aus
TRAN and Italian colonies in London.

Lead and Silver.

Notwithstanding the fact that the New

lead in that city at s5.70Gs5 90, the highest
quotations received in this market during
the week were s5.25. OF the present con-
dition Of the New York market, and the
outlook. the same authority SAYS: 1.-THE
firm feeling for this metal continues, and
the scarcity already reported is more
marked than ever, and has now reached
point where it is almost impossible TO buy
even one or two carloads. Con-
sumers need ali they have land that is
very limited1, as they have not been buy
ing freely at the advance not thinking that
the condition would be such as it has now
proved to be- The same state of affairs
prevails throughout the west, and prompt
delivery lead is understandable We have no
doubt that with no lead coming in from
the west and near shipments from Europe
being taken care of and not for sale). the
market is very. likely to experience a
further advance, and not only this, but
consumers may find il a most difficult task
to cover their wants unless they do so in
reasonable time. Our advices from abroad
are about to the same effect, no metal be-
ing obtainable there for immediate, and
very little for October shipment, and
what there is for such shipment will GER
tainiy not go forward until the end of Oc-
tober, so that the lead will not reach here
before the latter part of November.
Prices here for spot have advanced to
b90c., and nothing is to be had at that
price. For November, 5.70c is bid, and
there are no sellers below &C."
In st. Louis a little freer Offering of spot
lead has been noticeable, and the indications
ora that consumers will have less difficulty in
Ine near future to be supplied for their cur
rent requirements. Still the spot article is
scarce and brings decided premium over
lead for deferred delivery. Spot lead is
quoted nominally at S5.35@s5. 40, whereas
November and December lead has been Of
fered and not taken at $5.05.
In Chicago, there has been an increased
demand at this centre for lead, particularly
for spot delivery, and sales foot up close to
500 tons az 5.35(05. Soc, the latter price fol-
spot metal. The closing is very strong al
5.50c., and there is very little lead offering
at that price.
In Salt Lake the metal opened on Monday
at S5.25, and closed at the same figure las
evening.
Silver opened at 81. 10, dropped to 81 091S

Shaving With YaseIine.

A friend of mine few months ago told
me how to shave easily and painlessly, and
have never shaved in barber's shop
since. The plan is to use oil or grease in
stead of soap to prepare the chin and soften
the beard. Vaseline is the most convenient,
and it should be rubbed in quite freely.
Then, with keen razor. shaving can be
done quickly and without suspicion Of
pain. At first | couldn't reconcile myself
to doing without the orthodox lather, and
used soap after the vaseline had been ap-
piled. But the soap is really unnecessary,
and shaving with oil or vaseline is cleaner,
as well as pleasanter, and what is more to
the point, there is no irritation whatever
to the skin.-Interview in St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Loans on Insurance Policies.

A broker, investment and securities man
who does a rapid business relates:
You would be astonished if | showed
you the number of life insurance policies
that have in my safe. They have been
left here as collateral security for small
loans ranging from 800 to $1,000, for
thirty, sixty and ninety days. The men
who negotiate loans on these policies are
for the most part spectators on the Board
of Trade or on the Stock Exchange. A
man engaged in that business never gets
through. One of these men brings me a
life policy and says he wants 500 for
thirty days.
OF course, before dollar is ever loaned
on this sort of security there are several
things necessary. A statement of the cash
value of the policy from the company must
come with the policy, and certain assign
ments must also be apparent. Everything
being satisfactory, he gets his loan of s1O6.

phantom chaser comes in and asks me to

and very much L admired it, particularly
when l heard that it was designed for
yacht, in which place it would be perfectly
in keeping and would serve no fewer than
five purposes. 1t was made Of enameied
wood, shaped in the form of a screen on
castors, so that il could be moved into any
position in the room. In front were two
shelves for books, and above was closed
up shelf, which when dropped formed a
writing table, with pigeon holes for letters
and papers behind. The back of the screen
was also destined for utility, and combined
a teacup shelf and a receptacle for music,
manuscripts or needlework.-New York
