the disadvantage of being upon the

utterly indefehsible that when it came
to argument their pleas availed them
not hing, their pretences being easily
seen through, and their extreme parti-

Why nlinoisans Are Called suckers.

The first settlements of Illinois were
made in the southern portion of the
State The land was new and rich. and
yielded abundantly with but little culti-
walton; but there were no means of trans
portation or markets, and money was
scarce and hard to get, an old-fashioned
picayune looking as big as the bottom OF
a half bushel, and was carefully boarded
to meet some contingency. AS result
of this state of things all the surpluspop-
ulation regularly every spring took up
their line of march to the Galena lead
mines, where they worked during the
summer, and as regularly every fall took
ND their line of march for their homes in
the southern part Of the State. This
being the habit of that numerous family
of fish called suckers, which then, as
now, assembled the streams i'll the spring
and descended in the fall, the bands of
Illinois settlers fiuctuating between their
homes and the mines soon became known
as suckers, and later on the name was
generally applied and Illinois became
known as the Sucker State and her people
as suckers. = Galesburg Register.

Eye-Piece for the Lick Telescope.

The Lick telescope will in few weeks
be supplemented by remarkable piece
of mechanism. This is an eye-piece
which has just been completed at Roch-
ester, N. Y. No other eye-piece of any
thing like equal dimensions has ever
been made. The largest now in use is
not over 2 inches in diameter, while the
new piece measures over inches. The
eye-piece is constructed on perfect the
ory. There are two lenses, inches
apart. The larger one is called the field
lens, and is g. inches in diameter. The
other lens is the eyeglass proper. 1t -
composed of three lenses, double con-
cave, double convex, and meniscus, ce-
mented together. The field lens is of
brown glass. The meniscus or correct
ing lens is of flint glass. The light from
the heavenly bodies seen through the
Lick telescope and this new eye-piece will
be 1000 times as bright as that seen with
the naked eye.-[San Francisco Chron-

A DISCRIMINATING FRENCHMAN
Senator Lafayett Says Some Interesting
Things About Us.

Senator Lafayett Says Some Interesting
Things About Us.
M. Lafayette, a descendant of the great
Lafayette, and one of the most prominent
men in the French upper chamber, has
been talking to an American reporter
about some things in this big country.
ave Parisians think that no place in
the world comes up to our city of life
and gayety. However, parodying the
words of Alexander the Great, may con-
fess that if | were not Partisan l would
like to be New Yorker. We have no
animation in Paris to compare with all
one sees, for example, in 23d street. But
that is not what struck me the most.
Here in Paris everything is for the rich.
Paris is the earthly bliss of the moneyed
man. The democracy before which l
bow exists in Paris only as thing to be
talked about, written about in New York
the democracy it an actuality and has its
place. There are cheap boarding houses
unknown in Paris-and although the
general idea is that New York is a terri
bic expensive city, one can, nevertheless,
live there at half the price required for
Paris. Again in New York. the repub-
lie (Which here is only a phantom, for in
Paris we have thy most aristocratic
people in the world in spite of 1900 is a
reality and not sham. In no town in
the world have so felt that there is not
a republic.
"1n looking at American citizens, as
they hustle about the Broadway or any
other of the large avenues of the Empire
City, feel that l see liberty in its finest
manifestation. lean not say that think
the Hudson comes up to the exaggerated
descriptions which have been given of it.
People over here imagine it is the most
beautiful river in America. WhenI last
returned from America, acting on the
advice of a friend of mine in New York,
instead of taking ship from that place l
came back by Canada down the St.
Lawrence. Now that, if you like, is in
deed beautiful river undescribably beau
tiful-an ever changing panorama. I
have often wondered why more people
don't come home that way. The voyage
is short and the scenery that one sees is
superior to anything else on the whole
continent.
Generally speaking, the American
rivers are ugly. The journey up the
much talked of Mississippi is one of the
dreariest experiences one can undergo
days and days of nothing but trees, then
swamp perhaps with bushes growing
out of it, behind that forest of middle
height, and behind that again high wall
of lofty timber, and so on and on, day
after day. I was never more depressed
in my life than after few days of that
kind of journeying. Now, along the ST.
Lawrence there is always something
fresh and pleasing to the eye"

Highly Faithful,

The desirability of learning how to
make ones words express what is
meant and nothing else is well illustrated
by the dubious effect of the following
extract from recent work on Domestic
Life in the Eighteenth Century,"
I'VE are now to speak of the bloody
days of 1898. 1t was in these troublous
times that the domestic servants of the
old regime were to give the browning
proof of their great devotion.
Great numbers, indeed, were found
who, rather than betray their masters,
allowed themselves to be guillotined in
their stead, and who, when the days of
peace and calm returned, silently and
respectfully resumed their faithful serv-

An III-Umened Dance.

Prince Bismarck was one day passing
through the royal palace at Berlin,
when he entered a room in which the
young princes were merrily romping
and dancing to the music of barrel
organ. The youngsters insisted that
Prince Bismarck should stay and dance
with them. 81 am too DID," said the
stiff and stately septuagenerian, "and
really cannot dance, but if the crown
prince will dance l will grind the Or
gam" The bargain was at once struck.
The crown prince joined his two broth
ers, and Prince Bismarck ground away
merrily at the organ while the children
danced on in high glee. In the midst of
their mirth the door opened and the
young Kaiser entered. He smiled to see
the redoubtable Reichskanzler grinding
the barrel-organ, and after word of
greeting to his sons he observed in mock
displeasure to Prince Bismarck: "You
begin in good time to make the heir ap-
parent dance to your piping Why, this
is the fourth generation of Hohenzollerns
to whom you devote YOURSELF" -[St.

A Matri mOnial Novelty.

A young lady recently invented new
fashion for weddings that may be taken
up by members of the fair sex who are
crowded with engagements. Unable to
appear at her friends wedding, she had
her photograph specially taken for the
occasion, and this portrait, with appro-
pirate good wishes, greeted the bride on
the morning of the eventful day. This
should be taken up by Americans es-
pecially, who have friends in every
quarter of the globe, and cannot be
present in every place where they are
wanted. Il Boston Transcript.

The Most Popular American Book,

The most profitable book ever printed,
at least in this country, was Webster's
Spelling Book. Moro than $4,000, 900
copies of this production have been
issued. and could DR.. Webster and his
heirs have enjoyed the royalties from it
they would have found it more valuable
than the cave of Monte Cristo. Yet
Dr. Webster wrote it that he might pro-
cure the means to support himself while
engaged in other work, notably his die
tionary, which was really an elaboration
of the spelling hook.
