Another effort is being made by the
inhabitants of Choisy-le- Roi, outside Of
Paris, to observe with much solemnity
and ceremonial what Is vaguely called
the Centenary Of the Marseillaise 2
Choisy-le-Roi claims to possess the dust
of Rouget de l'Isle--the composer Of the
hymn-who was buried there in 1886,
his birthplace being Lons-le-Saulnier, in
the department of the Jura. On this ac-

will be made to all the cities, and also
to communes which possess more than

A Much Travelled Volume.

In opening package of books wrapped.
in tin, the custom house inspectors cut
with knife the binding, by Ruban, of a
Poor Richard Almanack. I The import
er made no claim for damage from the
government, paid the duty, returned the
book to Paris to be rebound and wrote
an ode to Diana of Poitiers, goddess Of
book lovers, in gratitude for the miracu-
lous escape of the text of his Almanack.
The book, rebound, came back fifteen
days ago. The owner supposes that it il
intact, but he does not know, and he
cannot learn even by paying the duty
again, for the official wants new in
voice, and the importer is naive enough
to think that he can persuade the official
that the first invoice, which is filed at
the custom house, accurately describes
the book on its fourth voyage across the
Atlantic. New York Times.

soidered His Eve.

A Bangor (Me.) plumber couldn't open
his eye the other day because the upper
and lower lids were held together by a
drop of solder. The accident happened
while he was using some solder in gut
ter in which there was a little water.
The moment that he applied the melted
metal it snapped and flew. One piece of
IT came directly for his eye, The lids
closed involuntarily the moment Of con
tact and the solder rested upon the la h-
es; it soldered the lids together SO firmly
that it was impossible to move them.
The eye was not injured in the slightest.
but was effectually closed. The victim
was half amused at the ridiculous side
OF the affair. A companion took him to
doctor, who severed the lashes.-Bos-

A rremendou. barley Farm.

I'VE have now secured csc, 900 acres
of land in North Dakota for barley
farms, and next spring we will send
thousands Of German emigrants to that
state from Ohio, West Virginia and In
DIANA" said Colonel O. M. Towner as
he discussed the future Of this great
northern state. Colonel Towner ii man
ager OF what is best known as the Barley
syndicate Of Chicago. During the last
two or three months the company has
succeeded in securing 100000 acres 81
land in North Dakota, on which it is
proposed to place German farmers to
raise barley for malt purposes. These
lands have been purchased in Nelson,
Norman, Towner, Ramsey, Steele and
Bottineau counties.
1t Is the opinion Of the managers Of
this company that barley can be most
successfully grown in that state, and
they have the conviction Of their belief
sufficiently to purchase these lands and
to send out emigrants from other states.
The Germans are chosen on account Of
their knowledge of barley culture for
this purpose These emigrants will not
be tenants, but owners Of the land, it
being sold to them on easy terms. The
crops will be bought by the company
and shipped to all points where there is
q demand for barley. ST. Paul Pioneer

a short Lived Lake.

"A month hence" says a California
engineer of reputation, the Salton lake
will have dried up" Salton lake, it will
be remembered, is the shallow inland
sea which was formed by break in the
Colorado river, whose waters in modern
times, at least, flowed into the Gulf of
California, as we know it. The basin Of
the short lived lake, however, was once
a part of the gulf, and if the flow of
water had continued some modern i'm
provements might indeed have been eff
fected. The river will not boom again
till spring, when the lake may refill.
Any device that could render it perma-
nent would have a mitigating effect
upon the dreaded Arizona climate. of
which dire stories are told. Worse
things could happen than the tapping of
the Colorado river higher up, SO that all
its waters might flow into the old cham
nels and make the wilderness blossom
with the rose.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

A Russo-chinese Railway.

A Russo-Chinese railway is reported
as the objective point of negotiations
now going on between Russian and
Chinese representatives. Russia wants
the right to build q railway from Vladi-
vostock, the Pacific terminal of the pro-
posed Siberian railway, across the north
ern boundary Of Corea to ITEM sin, ana
thence to Shanghai. The alleged OBJ
ject is quick transit of Chinese tea and
silk to Europe. The Chinese, however.
are very jealous Of Russian influence
in the east, and9will probably decline
Russian aid in railway building.-En-

H1u came about from question u pro.

which they invited al The girl STUDENTS,
q wen as the professors. Elaborate
preparntions were made, and the young
men anticipated an evening Of enjoy
n1ent. They hired band, and had the
dormitory beautifully decorated.
One or two Of the more modeet and re-
firing Of the maidens in the girls dormi-
tory were shocked 1t the svowed inten-
ton Of some Of the girls to attend the
ban, and called . meeting Of the girls, at
which there was long discussion Of the
affair.
Many Of the fair students said they
could sec no harm in going TO the bali a.
long as the professors were willing, but
the more prudish damseis read . strong
lecture on the evils OF such doings, and,
on vote, there wa . majority In favor
Of not attending the ball. So mono Of
them went.
The boys waited long FOR the coming
Of the fair ones, but they came not. AT
first the collegians were very angry
Then they took the dancing floor them
selves and made stag party Of 1t.
They say, however, that for future fes-

the girl students. This suits the ultra
modest among the latter, but the sociable
girls feel crushed.--San Francisco

Tommy Picked the Police Chiefs Pocket.
In Madison, Wis, there is a chief OF
police, j. E. Adamson, who is clubbing
himself. Saturday he visited Chicago
Ito get Thomas Kingston, aged fourteen,
who was wanted at Madison for larceny.
He had been arrested by Chicago ON
GERS. Late in the evening he hand.
cuffed himself to young Kingston and
started for the train. Before it reached
Desplaines the chief was snoring loud
and long.
Kingston is cunning little rascal.
He saw his opportunity. He quietly
went through the pockets Of the sleeping
chief and found the key which unlocked
his handcuff. Stealthily he crept over
the snoring officer, and when the train
stopped at Desplaines the chief and his
youthful prisoner parted company.
The train had gone a good many
miles when Chief Adamson awoke. OF
course he was mad, but when he looked
for the key with which to remove the
handcuff from his own wrist his wrath
knew no bounds, for Tommy had taken
it with him. All efforts to remove the
bracelet were fruitless, and until he
reached Madison his left hand and wrist
were buried deep in his overcoat pocket.
They were s'out of sight"
Kingston was picked up by Chicago
officers. He is at the Desplaines street
station waiting for another bout with
Chief Adamson. Chicago Tribune.

A Concentration That WI Amount 90 n

is the Principal Diplomat Among
Ohicers of the Navy.
WASHINGTON, Nov 13-It is quite
evident that the President and Secretary
Blaine do not propose to let Chilli long
remain in ignorance Of the fact that the
United States has made substantial pro-
gress in the building Of navy. The
news leaked ont yesterday that there is
90 be a change in the assignments Of
a number OF vessels, which will result
Ia the concentration OF such fleet of
war ships in the harbor of Valparaiso as
60 amount 30 naval demonstration.
Orders have been sent to Rear Admiral
Gherardi, now on board his flagship,
the Philadelphia, at St Thomas, to pro-
Ceed at once to Valparaiso and assume
command Of the South Pacific station.
Rear r-Admiral Brown, now in command
of chat station, will be detached and
placed on waiting orders. Acting Rear
Admiral John O. Walker will retain his
flagship, the Chicago, and relieve Admiral
GherBrdi in command of the North At
lautiC station
This Heet, however, will be cut down
from the imposing proportions Of the
White Squadron TO the Chicago and the
old kearsarge Rear Admiral A. H. X.
Benham will be sent on board the New
ark to take command OF the South At
lautic station, with headquarters at Rio
de Janeiro. The Atlanta Concord and
Bennington are all to sail on Sunday or
Monday for Chiian waters The
Charleston has already been ordered TO
return from the AsiaJc station to the
South Pacific.
The order will result in placing under
the command Of Admiral Gherardi at
Valparaiso a feet composed of the Phila-
delphia lflaKship), San Francisco, Char
lesion, Boston, Baltimore NOW already
at Valparaiso Atlanta, Yorktown,
Concord and Bennington, while the
Newark will be within comparatively
easy call at Rio. This concentration of
warships will bring together a formid-
able array OF men.
The Philadelphia carries twelve guns
In hermann battery, the Baltimore ten,
the San Francisco twelve, the Charleston
eight the Boston eight the Atlapta
eight, the Yorktown six, the Concord six,
new six and eight inch rhed steel breech
leaders, and each ship carries Il power
ful second battery of rapid firing and
machine guns. Each ships company
will average 300 or more men.
Officials OF both State and Navy de-
partments deprecate placing any war
like meaning upon this demonstration,
and insist that there is no special sig
nifcance in the concentration of a pow
erful feet in South American waters.
The selection Of Admiral Gherardi to
command the South Pacific squadron is
sure to be regarded as significant.
Gherardi is known as the principal
diplomat among the officers Of the navy,
and it will be remembered that he, in a
sense, superseded Minister Douglass in
the futile negotiations with Hayti for
the possession of Mole St. Nicholas as {
