MIR. KendaI,s stupidity.

The members of the Four Hundred are
enjoying II story at the expense of a promi-

for her loud dresses, her elaborate dinners
and her faux pas. 1t seems that while the
Kendals were playing in this city dinner

lady was invited The Kendals were in

only their nom de theatre
When the time for the company to go to
the dining room arrived Mrs, X. who
had been told that she was to be escorted
to the table by Mr.. Kendall, was amazed
when certain Mr. birthstone was pre-
sented to her, who thereupon offered her
his arm, and before she had an opportunity
to protest, led her to the adjoining apart
ment She was so furious at what she
thought was the deception practiced upon
her that she was hardly civil to her escort
replying to his polite speeches with mono
syllables and addressing most of her re-
marks to her neighbors on the opposite
side of the table.
After the dinner was over and the guests
had reassembled in the drawing room, she
approached her hostess and said indig-
nantly; "That was pretty trick you
played upon me. | thought you told me
that Mr. Kendall was going to be here, and
that he was to take me to dinner. Instead
of that you palmed off n mere nobody on
me, and the stupidest person I've met this
winter was hardly able to be decent to
him"
II am very sorry" replied the hostess
sweetly, understanding at once the situa
ton, that you found Mr.. birthstone stu
pid. He is generally considered very intel
ligent and interesting. Besides, my dear
he really isn't nobody. Grimstone is his
family name, but on the stage he is known
as Mr. Kendall"
Then she sailed away, leaving Mrs X. in
a state of mind that can be better imagined
than described. York Telegram.

Tho Key to Victory in War.

No inventions, no changes in arms, can
alter the maxims of strategy. These are
immutable. Their use depends on the
character of the captains But tactics
change with inventions in firearms. The
maneuvers of the battlefield must depend
upon the weapons of the enemy, upon the
danger zones of his fire. From close we
have gone to open order, only to find that
scattered groups are apt to weaken dis
cipline; and today more than ever before
we need morale and cohesiveness on the
battlefield.
That commander who, despite the fear
full defamation of modern artillery and
small arms, can keep his battalions the
longest in heart, will win the day. Many
intelligent essays are published to prove
this or the other system to be the one to
govern tue maneuvers of the coming bat
tleteld, but in truth no one knows or can
argue out what is TO be. A theory sound
today is discarded tomorrow. But few
facts are patent Reliance can be placed
only on a strictly national army.
That nation the breasts OF whose citizens
are barred for her defense with honest pa
triotism, and which has leaders who leave
no stone unturned to keep abreast of war,
will remain the strongest. No nation. in

A regular lawsuit with creatures obnox.
ious and hurtful was a common procedure
until the Eighteenth century In 1898 an
immense inroad of grasshoppers came from
Asia into middle Europe. Austria and
Italy suffered most. Everything was eaten
up. The swarms seem to have been about
as thick and destructive as those in Kansas
in 1874 The people used all possible de
vices against the eggs and the insects. In
despair they took to prayer and the priests
The following judgment was pronounced;
LAS grasshoppers are obnoxious to the
country and to men, be it resolved by the
court that the priest shall, by candles burn
ing from the pulpit, condemn them in the
name of God, Of his Son. aud of the Holy
Ghost"
AS all such creatures have their natural
cycle of development, and pass away at the
end of it, it is likely that some ones male
dictions hit it at the right moment. But
the trouble was that when expelled pre-
tcrnaturally they must go to some other
land to be an equally bad curse This
struck upon the conscience of some, and
they refused to join in prayers to any such
end.-Mary K Spencer in st. Louis Globe.

with such force that the casters were

house, one alone, little girl, was hurt.
She was thrown across the room and
her back badly injured. This was the
only casualty. The cartridge was not
placed squarely under the house or the
result would have been the death of the
whole family.
Suspicion points to John Liggett, a
neighbor who had lawsuit with Ira
vol Thursday, in which he was beaten.
He is reported to have said that Travoli
would never live to testify against him
again. Officers are now after him. He
has previously borne good reputation
and few are prepared to believe he would
be guilty of this fiendish attempt to
murder six people. The neighborhood
is in a fever of excitement.

United States, with its infinitely greater
resources, had 10 stand in 1868. In that
year each Canadian paid Tl.2J as interest
on the debt, while each resident Of the
United States paid 1854 In 1889 the

are united, in spite Of the Indebtedness

Much of the Dominion debt was created
for unnecessary purposes. 1t was the re-
suit OF an attempt long persevered in by
the Tories to fly in the face of manifest
destiny, and to build mp another and n
Tory England on territory which is geo
graphically and commercially part Of
the American Union. The expenses for
military railroads, for Notifications, and
for all similar purposes represent 50

money is thrown away rs much as if the
northern states had abandoned the war
against slavery and rebellion in 1864,
with the war debt on their hands.
A part of the Dominion debt has been
contracted in the attempt to make what
is naturally the northern tier of Ameri-
can states independent commercially Of
the fifty states 10 the south of them.
Much of this expenditure would have
been undreamed of had Canada been a
