Caesars and People.

Napoleon, and now young William
The first had fits, the second was a

fair way to follow the others. Per-
haps it is just as we'll. Germany is
too powerful and enlightened to de-

emperor leaves the stage his successor

When the Cesar is sick
the people grow stronger, and when
he dies they assert their right to rule.

Merry American Girls.

New York telegram
"The fact that American girls go
anywhere and almost everywhere
without escorts has long been mat
ter of wonderment to me-" said q
member o: the French nobility to me
the other day. II was coming down
in an elevated train yesterday, and
the reason was made evident to me
As we neared city hall station almost
every passenger made q rush for the
door and stood for five minutes, each
anxious to get ahead of the other in
leaving the train.
Zone of the crowd was very pretty
young woman carrying u long handled
Umbrella in one hand and big bun
die in the other. Just behind her
was short, very fat man, who was
rudely crowding the pretty girl. As
| had not left my seat saw the per-
Torrance that followed.
"Once the girl looked over her
shoulder and the fat man stopped
crowding for a moment, but began
again and trod on the skirt of the
pretty girl. Her eyes grew dark with
anger. The long-handled umbrella
assumed horizontal position and
shot backward point first, catching
the fat man just about at the bottom
of his vest. He gave q gasp of ter
ror and caught his breath just as the
pretty girl looked over her shoulder,
smiled sweetly aud said: oh, pardon
me, but you are on my skirt"
"Then she smiled even more sweet.
ly and the fat man dropped into a
seat and CROPPED about as though the
air in the car was sutfocating him.
TIE girl marched complacently out
OF the car, head up. the dainty fea
theirs in her hat nodding defiance to
all masculine humanity"

When a gentleman with silvery hair that age had
touched with snow
Had entered, and was looking round, vacant seat
in mind,
When at his arm he felt touch and looked
around to find
A little boy who motioned him with kn.ghtly air
and grace
To take the seat he occupied, and gave him up his
place.
He OF the seat with many thanks my little
man" said he,
Now let me offer you a place to sit upon my
knee"
They rode along . little way. the child upon his
knee,
When in the car a lady stepped both young and
fair to see;
The little boy jumped from his seat. and with a
winning smile,
Said, won't You take my place, MISS and rest

The treatment of snake-bite with
injections eff strychnine illustrates the
antagonistic action of poisons upon
onother. DR.. Mueller, of Yackan-
dandah, Victoria, in a case in his
practice, used q solution of nitrate of
strychnine in water with little
glyccrine, hypodermically injected,
with a frequency which was deter
mined by the symptoms. When all
symptoms had disappeared, the first
Independent action of the strychnine
was shown by slight muscular spasms.
The injections must be discontinued
then, unless the snake-poison rcasserts
itself. In some cases grain or more
of strychnine was used within few
hours. The two poisons are thorough
ly antagonistic, and no hesitation
need be felt in pushing the use of the
drug TO quantities that would be fatal

Derivation of Several Words.

Canter is an abbreviated form of Can
terbury gallop, SD called because pilgrims
to Canterbury rode at the pace of a
moderate gallop. A grocer, SO says the
dictionary, was originally one who sold
by the gross. A grenade" derives its
name from its shape, which resembles a
pomegranate. A 'biscuit" means sstwice
bakad," because, according to military
practice, the bread or biscuits of the
Romans were twice prepared in the
ovens. Did you ever notice the leaves
of the dandelion? They are said to re-
semble, in form and silE, the tooth of
the lion, and so the French call it the
dent de lion and we .sthe dandelion."
The pope was formerly called ssthe
pape," which means the same as sspapa,"
or father. Vinegar came from two Latin
words, vim and acer, meaning swine" and
tsour." These are only few of the
many curious and interesting things
found in my afternoons search in the
old dictionary. When you are at a loss
for something to do follow my example,
and you will be surprised at the many
bits of information you can pick up in a
little time.-Omaha World-Herald.

An Unexpected solution.

AT Sunday school service a clergy
man was explaining to a number of
smart little urchins the necessity of
Christian profession in order properly to
enjoy the blessings of Providence in this
world, and, to make it apparent to the
youthful mind, he said:
"For instance, I want to introduce
water into my house. I turn it on. The
pipes and faucets and every convenience
are in good order, but get no water.
Can any Of you tell me why don't get
any water%
He expected the children to see that it
was because he had not made connec-
ton with the main in the street. The
boys looked perplexed. They could not
see why the water should refuse to run
into his premises after such faultless
plumbing.
"Can no one tell me what I have neg
lected?" reiterated the good man, look
ing at the many wondering faces bowed
down by the weight of the problem.

DR.. Bailey's statement in regard to the

he added large numbers of cows infected
with tuberculosis all over the state. There
are large number in this vicinity: there

there are infected cows in the Western part
of the state. The condition is growing
worse all the time. There is not cow in
Massachusetts that has not been exposed
to the disease. Jerseys are mostly infected
but there has been so little effort to weed
out the disease that all kinds of cattle have

The latest and altogether the nost curl
GUS development in the evolution of war
with Chill is the reported arrest in San
Francisco of two gentlemen, one said to be
a Spaniard and the other CHILEAN, on a
charge of vagrancy. The despatch that
tells of this arrest with a charming
naivete says that these Migrants had
plenty Of money and that there was
not the slightest thing about them
to suggest vagrancy, and that nobody
entertained the slightest suspicion that
they were people of that character. But as
one of them had compass and as they had
sailed down the harbor several times and
looked at the Notifications in way that sug-
gested to somebody's fevered imagination
that they might be making "surreptitious
survey" of the forts for the benefit of the
Gillian navy, it was deemed best to
arrest them on a charge of vagrancy in
order to get chance to question them and,
may be. worm out of them confession that
they were spies in the interest of the
Gillian government. 1t may occur to per-
sons of common sense that these gentlemen
instead of accommodating the San Fran
cisco authorities with confession that
they are spies are more likely to make a
demand on our government for damages
for false arrest.

affects cattle, but is liable to be transmitted
to human beings, giving rise to tubercular
consumption. Several years ago the State
College herd were all killed because this
disease had appeared among them, and
since then hundreds of cattle have been
put TO death after being appraised and
paid for by the State, for the same reason.
Among our cattle the disease is practically
exterminated. But the neighboring State
of Massachusetts has done practically
nothing to suppress the disease within its
limits, though its cattle commissioners
have year after year testified in their re-
ports to the great danger of the disease
and to its great prevalence. DR.. Bailey
has proved out of their own mouths that
the State is full of it, that cattle affected
with it are frequently killed and used for
food, that the milk from them is dtstrib-
uted in the cities, and that sick ami
mails are exported into this and other
States. 1t becomes evident, therefore, that
If this State is to be kept free from the
disease some means must be taken to pre-
vent the introduction of tuberculOus
cows from Massachusetts. The surest
method would be to prohibit the importa-
tion of cattle from that State altogether,
but as the Supreme court of the United
States has held that this is beyond the
power of State to do the only resource is
TO quarantine the cattle after they are
brought into this State long enough to de-
termine whether they are healthy or dis
eased. This the commissioners have done,
and their action will undoubtedly be
heartily approved by the Maine public.
The quarantine regulation if faithfully
carried out will effectually prevent the in
PRODUCTION of any more diseased cattle into
this State, and at the same time will
have tendency to awaken public senti-
ment in Massachusetts, which has been
unacconntably Indifferent to the impor-
lance of attacking. this disease within its
own borders.

Cost of Collection Plates.

Collection plates of metal are usually
made of brass or bronze. Brass plates
range in price from five dollars upward.
They are eleven inches in diameter, Il
inches in the rim and Ia inches deep.
They are inscribed with texts and are
stamped or embossed in variety of de-
signs. The metal plates are used either
with or without a mat.
Bronze plates cost twenty-five dollars
and upward. Metal receiving basins of
brass or bronze cost from twenty-five
dollars upward. More expensive metal
plates are made to order. Some are Of
solid silver. The cost of silver plate
depends on its weight and the work upon
it; fifty dollars would be about the low
est price.-New York Sun.
