The First Alleged to Have Been Ex-Em-

Ond the Renewal of the Triple Alliance.
and the Third the visit OF Emperor
william to England.
PARIS, Aug. Z. - The visit of the
French feet to Cronstadt, and the en-
thusiastic reception accorded the French
officers by all classes of Russian society,
from the csar downward, have, as is
well known, been made the subject of
much public and private comment as to
the actual status of the relations be-
tween Russia and France, and as to the
probable effect of an offensive and de-
fensive alliance between the two nations.
The newspapers have published many
letters on the subject, but letter which
appears, if written by the alleged author,
is likely to cause the subject to be dis
cussed at still greater length.
It's French Story.
The Figaro, of this city, has in its col
umns letter alleged to have been writ
ten by Prince Bismarck to the Russian
leader of the German party in St Peters
burg This letter makes the German
ex-chancellor declare that the visit of
the French squadron to Cronstadt would
not have occurred had he remained in
power. The visit the letter says, was
the result of three gross mistakes of
German diplomacy. The first mistake
was the visit of the Empress Frederick
to Paris; the second was the renewal of
the triple alliance, which was divulged
with such eagerneSs by Emperor Will
lam, and the third was the emperor's
noisy visit to London.
Did Prince George Tell the Truth.
ST, PETERSBURG, Aug. Z. The letter
which recently appeared in The Be
lingske Tidende, of Copenhagen, in
which Prince George of Greece made
detailed account of the attack made on
the czarewich at Otsu, near Kiota, Ja-
pan, by n Japanese policeman, has
greatly altered the estimates which were
first formed here of the princes action
upon that occasion, and has been the
means of placing him in terrible dis
grace in this city
The reason for the altered feeling
entertained for the prince is the fact
that he caused to be pub ished his
own account of the attack upon the
czarewich without previously submit
ting the manuscript for revision. 1t is
considered here that the story as told by
Prince George emphasizes certain
rumors that the czarewich did not ex-
hibit much bravery in running away
when he was attacked.
Particular offense is taken in the state
ment in the princes published letter that
after the czarewich had been struck
and while he was endeavoIing to make
his escape from his assailant he tumbled
to the ground through sheer fright.

Brazilian Legislators Award Them
selves $3.50 Per Day.
It took SO sittings of the Brazilian
Congress to pass it's first important
bill, and that related to the salary of
Congress. The presidents brought out
in the debate on that measure of press
ing public Importance show that the
stipend of the members of the first
Constituent Assembly after the separ-
alton from Portugal was $1,000 a
year. That amount continued to be
paid to the representatives in Parlia-
ment down to 1878, when the change
was made to the rate of $3.50 per
legislative day for Senators and 1915
a day for Deputies. A natural differ,
ence to the length of the sessions was
observable under that arrangement,
and was urged as an argument against
continuing it in the Republic. But a
proposition to make the salary $500
for each session was voted down, and
the old plan Of payment by the day
adopted. There was some dispute be-
tween the two houses, however, over
the distinction made in estimating
the value OF the services of each. It
was finally agreed, though, that genu-
inc Republican principles required
equality of payment, and as the Sen
ators would not come down, the Dep
uties consented to go up, and so the
rate for either was made $3.50 per
legislative day.-New York Evening

THE BAMBOO.
There Are Countries Where II Seems
- to Supply Every Human Want.

mere AreCountrieS Where 1t Seems
to Supply Every Human Want.
There are countries where bamboo
seems to supply almost every human
requirement, and where the feathery
masses Of it's foliage, dropping like.
the weeping willow over road and riv-
er and village, bespeak an ideal Of life
beyond the reach Of less primitive
communities. Here man is unspoiled
by artificial wants, untouched by the
march of thought or of science, and
nature, unsolicited, supplies with Law
ish hand his simple needs. It is an
ideal which it seems almost sacrilege
to disturb, and in presence of which
the highest aim of the foreign intruder
should be to preserve its primary con-
ditions intact. No better example
can be cited of the land Of the bam-
boo than one of those Indo-C Chinese
provinces, of which Burmah is the best
known to Europeans. Like the fir in
Northern climates, it is the bamboo
which here gives an unmistakable
stamp to the rural landscape, while it
is literally the framework and foun-
dation of nearly every work of man.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
same iungles which give cover to ami
NAL life Of every form and tribe exert
a beneficent influence also on every
step of life of their human inhabitants.
The Burmese child plays with bamboo
toys in a house Of which roof and
walls and floors are for the most part
made from the same generous plant.
Through boyhood and manhood and
old age this helpful comrade is ever by
his side. On land or water, in peace
or war, in the homes ofrich and poor,
in art and manufacture, in the mar
ket and the field, at feast and funeral,
this is the substance of all that man
most needs and values for ornament
Or use. Towns and villages are built
from it's stems and leaves; the fisher
mans rod and float and raft; the
hunters snare; it bridges the torrent,
bears water from the we'll and irri-
gates the fields. 1t is food and medi-
cine for cattle, and even for men; and
there is music, too, not only in the
rustic of it's leaves, but in it's woody
heart, from which more than one mus
ical instrument is made.-Blackwood' s

SCHOOLBOY MECHANICS,
Curious Cognomens Given Boys
at School,

Curious Cognomens Given Boys
at School.
Schoolboys are almost invariably
known to their fellows by some strange
sobriquets, rarely indeed, by their
proper names. The variation of these
is extremely curious, and sometimes
considerable quickness in Selling upon
popularity is shown in fitting new
boy with a nickname which will last
the whole of his school career, and
very possibly will descend, as is often
the case, to the brothers who may
succeed him. In one school five
brothers who attended the school con-
secutively, were known by the name
of "Bones." The family name being
Jones, the transition was easy and
natural. ~
A very curious nickname was that
Of the boy who was known as duo
declm Snails," and it was acquired in
a funny way. The class was engaged
at a Latin lesson, and to a question
of the master this boy replied 'sduode
GIN" instead of .'duodecimus' to the
amusement of the class generally
Later in the lesson, the same boy in
translating Virgil hesitated at word.
A boy next to him mischievously
whispered tsnails, (" and, without a
moments thought, the translator re
peated the word. There was q roar
Of laughter, in which the master join
ed, and ever after that boy was
'tDuodecim Snails.
If q stranger overheard boy talk
ing to another about '..the Rats he
might be puzzled, yet this cognomen
was borne by three brothers who at
tended the school together. The
Christian name OF the elder was Rat
clife, which was capable ofconvenient
abbreviat ion, and when the younger
brothers came to the school the three
were knownFas 1.-THE Rats. =
Sometimes thesame boy is known by
an enormous number of names The
eral fellows once calculated that an
other boy in the school bore between
forty and fifty nicknames. Some of
these were doubtless lmprovised for
the occasion, but most of them were
quite genuine. Needless to say, this
boy was one OF the best-tempered in
the school.
"A tall, thin boy was always known
as 1.-THE Broomstick and another
who had spent part Of his life IN India
was called Unfortunately .tssthe5
Thug" or nBuddha. id Bits.

Origin Of the POSTAGE Stamp.


Few people, perhaps, realize of how
recent origin is the postage stamp. It
was first issued by Great Britain in
1910. Brazil was the first nation to
follow the example, which they did in
1843, and in 1947 the United States
began the use OF postage stamps.
There are now 211 stamp-issuing
countries. 1t is estimated now that
every year some 5O,OOO,OOO,OOO
letters are posted in the world.
America leads with over 25,OOO,OOO,-
600, and England follows with 7OO,-
OOO,OO Japan now mails annually
95,OOO,OOO letters, and the Cancelled
stamps on these letters are worth on
an average Of lie each. Last year
there were 10000 letters posted in
England without any address on
them. In 1000 of these gold coin and
money were inclosed: The Cancelled
postage stamps Of many countries
are worth quite as much as unused
specimens, and many are issued solely
for collections, the revenue being an
important item. Monaco was the
latest to issue stamps; but Stoffa1and,
with its fifty houses and three
stores, is probably themost insignif-
can't, even more SO than Heligoland
or the Virgin Islands. Bhopal has
the Oldest stamp, Nicaragua the
finest, Siberia the largest, Zealand the
smallest, Guatemala the most strik-
ing, and Sarawak and Great Britain
divide the honor Of having the cheap
est and meanest.-The Book-Keeper.

Cat BItcs.

Cat bites" said DIR. Gibier. OF the
Pasteur Institution, .'are much more
common in Paris than they are here.
Since / have been in this country /
have treated only two persons who l
had reason to believe were bitten by
mad cats.
I'm Paris mad cats are almost rs
common as mad dogs. People are
often bitten by them while returning
from the theatre. The cats shun the
light and take refuge in dark Railways.
The noise of the people cropping their
way up the stairs late at night stirs
the animals up, and often they fly at
the faces OF their disturbers. Before
Pasteur, many people died in Paris
from hydrophobia. resulting from cat
bites. But hydrophobia whether
caused by cats or dogs, is far more
prevalent abroad than it is in this
country. York Sun.

weight or III,I20 Files.

A Southern grocer. being greatly
annoyed by flies, distributed twenty
one sheets Of sticky fly paper about his
store. In the evening he gathered
them up and, noticing how much
heavier they were, concluded to weigh
them. He accordingly placed the
twenty-one sheets with their loads Of
dead flies upon the scales, they tipped
the beam at exactly seven pounds.
Then he placed twenty-one fresh sheets
on the scales and found that they
weighed but four pounds and four
ounces. Thus the flies were shown to.
weigh two pounds and twelve ounces
He next commenced to figure on the
matter and found that there were
twenty flies to each square inch Of the
fly paper; each sheet had 1856 square
inches and 6,720 flies; the twenty-one
sheets containing in all 141.1 flies.
Thus it is plain that one can easily as
certain the exact weight of a single
fly; for If 141,120 flies weigh two
pounds and twelve ounces it is easy to
calculate what one would weigh. st

AN evil which confronts the republic
is the tendency to wink at, and in
some cases, to facilitate, the use OF
more than one language-to tolerate
the use OF any but the English Ian
guage in this country. Language
means tho distinctive ideas, customs,
feelings and aims OF the people who
speak it. The English language, at
least the American form OF 1t, means
American thoughts, America customs,
American feelings and purposes. The
German and Scandinavian and. Russian
and Italian languages are the vehicles
Of things entirely different from, and,
in their inevitable character, hostile
to the best type Of Americanism.
These latter are the languages OF mon
arches; the former is the language o.
q republic.
