The popular story goes that Werner

too fine fora peasant" said Gessler, and
so the governor confscated it. Another
governor oui iraged Arnold Won Melchtal,
of Unterwalden, in a similar way, and
these two met Walter Fuerst at his house
in Attinghaasen and laid their first plans
On the night of Nov. II, 1907, these three
met on the ;Ruetli and solemnly pledged
their lives tc the fatherland. The story of
William Tell, of Altorf in Uri, is famil-
far to all The original agreement of the
three cantoRs, in medieval Latin. is still
preserved as Schwyz. One by one the
other cantons came in till the twenty-five
were united, and so Switzerland is the old
est republic in the world.
The most; elaborate display is to take
place at Bernie. and the panoramas repre-
senting the progress Of the republic will be
the finest ever seen In the republic. This
is fer the Tooth anniversary of the founda-
ton of the city. 1t is of interest to note
that the people around Lake Uri are from
the Alemanni mentioned by Tacitus.
After their descent upon the Roman en-
pire they returned and located in Switzer-
land, and have ever remained the enemies
of despotism.

itary arrogance despised the raw levies
that opposed his progress toward Sara
toga. His views were shared by Colonel
Baum, who started on his foraging trip at
the head of a force of 500 men-Hessians,
New York Tories and Indians.
Indeed the over confident German wrote
back after capturing -four mill that he
understood some Yankee militia were in
front of him, but they would doubtless
get out of the way the moment they caught
sight of the English colors and heard the
drum beat Of King Georges hirelings.
When he had penaed this dispatch the val
orous colonel marched on to encounter the
greatest and last surprise of his military
career
While Baum prepared leisurely for his
foraging promenade, Mr.. John Wier,. a
Whig farmer of Cambridge, Washington
county. n. Y, was bestirring himself to
some extent. A Tory neighbor had dropped
a hint of the impending raid. and Wiar
threw aside his sickle, mounted his horse
and spread the alarm among the patriots.

AN EDITORS LIFE IN TURKEY.

It Is the Subject of Some Very Queer
Restrictions.
Twenty years ago there were but about
four newspapers published in CONSTANT
nople Today there ere twenty dailies,
three monthlies, ten weekly, two tri-
weekly and two biweekly papers, and
these are published in almost as many Ian
guageS The Saadet, The Tarik, The Ter
jumar Hakikat, and The Gazette nlustre
are the principal ones printed in the Turk
ish language. The Tarik is the govern
ment organ, and is published in the Grand
Rue de la Sublime Portein StambouL The
Saadet and Terjuman Hakikat make some
pretensions to literature The Gazette
nlustre is the first illustrated paper in
the Turkish language and is published in
the sultan's own printing house under the
direction Sf Gsrabed Effendi.
Garabed Keshishian Effendi is en- Az
menian and was born in Cesaria, Cappa-
docia, Iand has given twenty years of his
life tolcompiling and writing school books
for use in the royal schools. The sultan
established the printing house and library
for this purpose, and Garabed Etfendi ur-
dertodk its management. and after a short
time established this paper, which is a neat
sixteeh page sheet, with the title page on
the back as we regard it, and the adver-
tisements, ETC., on what would be our first
page.
For his tireless labors in the cause of
education Garabed Effendi was decorated
with the order of the Mediidieh, and is
much esteemed by the sultan for his schol-
atly attainments. He is also at the head
OF the whole educational library and print
ing house.
1t is apparently a difficult matter to pro
duce good pictures in that country, as all
the illustrations published so far are sim
ply horrible, but they may improve in
time.

reported to have been drowned in the

by her lover and duly married him. NJ.

been given TO Virginia by NJ. de la
BoursOnnais, the colonial governor, who
married her TO Paul, this remarkable fan

electric light does not "smoke" the ceiling,
as has been claimed, but that the smoky
effect is due TO dust. The heated lamp
causes a current of heated air to rise, and
the consequence is there is more dust de

come into general use for lighting in the
near future, and it has already found a

Appropriate Commemorettion of Notable
AnniversarAes.
SwitzerlSnd is now in THE centennial era,
so to speak, several of b, r greatest ami
versaries icing celebrated this year; but
she has onb great advantage over America
in that her cycles run hack from five to
seven hundred years. The most recent
event celebrated is the famous battle of
Sempach, df July 9, 1856, In which Arnold
Struth ven Winkelried E'made way for
liberty and; died" A monument was
erected to him at Stanz, 10 the canton of
UnterwaldeE, in 1865.
In 1891 was censummated the original
'Ewige Bund, or perpetual alliance-the
beginning of; the republic1 of Switzerland.
So this is the 60Oth anniversary. A very
singular fabt is that, thouk kh it was so re-
cent, the history is half Legendary. Indeed,
it is alnest certain that DO such man as
William Tell ever lived, ahd there was no
such governor rs Gessler But it is certain
that Austria,set governors over the prov
inces to wiring as much mbney out of them
as possible; that there wefe many isolated
cases of resistance, and THAT the three can
tons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden,
comprising the lovely valleys which open
upon Lake Uri, united in the league in 1891.

dent "Your Honor" His honor Is the pre-
siding judge of a court. or usually the
mayor of a city. Some men, from constant
associations with courts of justice, come to
regard the judge as the highest and might
lest individual on earth. and they can con-
ceive of no greater distinction to be con-
ferred on the president than to call him
Your Honor
To cut a long matter short, let the correct
form for addressing the president be given.
1t is simply this: Benjamin Harrison,
President of the United states-Mr. Presi-
dent: Then after you have said you say,
If you are not proud, you can finish the
communication thus: 81 have the honor to
be, MIR. President. your obedient servant,
that is sometimes perpetrated of signing
yourself thus II have the honor to be
John Smith" 1t may reflect honor on You
to be who you are, but it is hardly modest
of You to say so. What you want to say ia
that you consider it an honor to be the
presidents obedient servant.
TO the rest of the world Uncle Sam and
the president are one and that is why the
latter insists upon ceremony in his deal
lngs with other powers. Probably the
readers of this paper, says the Washington
Star, are familiar with the form observed
in correspondence between the president
and the head of another government. 1t ia
n part of the law of nations that they are
all coequal. The king of Samoa writes to
President Harrison in the same terms of
equality as are used by the emperor of Ger
many and the president replies in kind.
The head of these little islands receives a
munificent salary of less than $500 a year
that is, he receives it if there is money
enough in the treasury tQ may it. When
Germany had trouble With Ehaiesty and
demanded an indemnity q 700 a broad
smile went around the w0lld, for it was
we'll known that the treasury OF Samoa had
never had, and in all probability never
would have, a sun half - large iii it's cof-
fers. Yet the king of SAMOA il addressed
by the president as "Gr6st and good
friend" and the president Gtzns himself,
Your good friend,'' and when Queen Vic
toria receives a letter from the president
he treats her with precisely the same for
mality and no more.
