GO6ub.
This has been q fatal winter for the old
and weak. Perhaps no more remarkable
column of death notices was ever printed
by newspaper in the ordinary conduct of
its business than one published in the
Concord, New Hampshire, Statesman, last
week. The entire list included ffty-one
names. Of these ffty-one, thirty eight
were over sixty years old and twenty-one
were over eighty. The oldest man. was
ninety-two and the average age of thirty
eight of the deeedents was seyenty-eight
years. AL these deaths took place in that
part of New Hampshire near Concord, and
all occurred between December 20 and
January 10.
Some of the st. Louis patrons of one of
the Massachusetts, benefit orders recently
sent lawyer to Boston to recover their
money. He has gone back reporting that
delegations from all over the United States
are focking into Boston on the same mis-
sion, and he counted 1t extremely fortunate
that he was able to recover for his clients
$25 on certificates maturing up to January
8 on which from $40 to $50 had been paid
in assessments. He found that the order
already had accrued liabilities of some So
900, 900, with which little or nothing to
meat them, and yet he says there are PEG
pie in st. Louis stiIl paying money into the
hands of this Bay State steal.
Those who are not too old to eat pea
nuts will be interested in the report that
the peanut crop is in fair condition. 1t
will be about 65 per cent. of last years
crop. which was about the largest ever
grown, 5000, 900 bushels being harvested.
But the peanut growers are far from being
happy. The present price at first hands
varies from q to cents. That is below
the cost of production, and growers want
4 to cents. Peanuts grow in few coun-
ties in southeastern Virginia, middle Ten
nsssee and North Carolina, and the crop is
uncertain and expensive. There is q Ma
tional Peanut union, which is urging sun
dry measures to protect the growers, one
of which is the advice of the Farmers alli-
ance to hold their produce and not let
spectators gobble all the profits.
The first land which has undertaken the
legal regulation of the practice of hypno-
tism is Belgium. A few days ago the legis-
lature adopted law which. in all proba-
bility, will serve as q model for the legis-
lative action of other countries. 1t declares
that any one who exhibits publicly per-
son hypnotized by himself or others will
be punished by imprisonment ranging
from two weeks to six months, and be fined
from SIS to 5000; and that any one not in
possession of a physician's diploma who
hypnotizes person under twenty years
of age, or not in the full possession of his
faculties, will be punished by imprison-
ment and fine, whether the subject be ex-
hibited or not; and that any one who
allows hyptonized person to sign docu-
ment or other paper, whatever its nature,
with the object of fraud, will be punished
by imprisonment. The same penalty
threatens a person who attempts to use
document signed by one while hypnotized.
The people of Belgium have welcomed the
adoption of the new law.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

There are some nice determinations In
Boston. A sign in that city reads: "Fresh
Eggs, % cents; Strictly Fresh Eggs, 36
cents"
Inventor Edison says he is about $780,
900 worse off than he would be if he had
never taken out a patent. That is to say,
he has spent that amount of money In ex-
perimenting and in lawsuits. He says he
has made about all his money In manufac-
turing his inventions and not by the roy
alties on them.
The late Duke of Clarence WAS lively
boy. He once wrote to his royal grand
mother, telling her that he had spent his
monthly allowance and asking her to send
him s5. The queen did not comply with
his request, but, instead, wrote him Q long
letter filled with good advice as to money
matters. Thereupon the young man took
the letter to an autograph collector and
sold it for e7 10s., realizing 60 los more
than the amount he had asked for.

THE WAR TALK.

The "silly season" is usually in mid
summer when most people are idle and
when big talk and big stories come easy.
But it appears to have struck this country
now in midwinter, and on all hands is
heard talk of war with Chilli. One would
think from reading what is telsgraphed
from Washington that war was necessary
and inevitable, and the "clash of resound-
ing arms" may almost be heard. But In
spite of the war talk and the efforts to
stir up the people they don't stir. In
deed, they are decidedly averse to being
stirred by this matter. They want Ameri-
can citizens protected, of course, but they
don't want war upon Chill made, except as
last resort. Some of them remember the
affair at New Orleans over which Italy
was so exercised, and they don't see such q
great difference between that affair and the
one in Chilli, except that now the boot is
on the other foot.
It is to be remembered in considering
the offense of the Chilians that it occurred
in time of great political dissension in
that country and that while the Chilian
government may be willing to treat
the United States fairly it may
be working under difficulties that
are not fully sppre ciated in this
country. Indeed, it is openly asserted
that President Montt would be very glad
to remove all occasion for complaint on
the part of this country by apologizing for
the Baltimore affair, but dares not affront
the temper Of large fraction of the Chill
ian people by doing SO. The alternative
before Montt and his cabinet is declared
to be war with the United States OF civil
war at home. The Balmacedist party is
not dead if Its leader is, and would be
glad of chance to revolt against its con.
querors, and any yielding of Nontt to the
United States might be the occasion fol
which it waits.
It is well to be patriotic, but it ISM
| well to be bloodthirsty. It is probable
that the Chilian affair can be settled in the
| ordinary course of diplomacy If time
enough is taken and q proper allowance
for the difficulties of the situation made
There is certainly no need to hurry ints

The BaId-Headed Row Proved Too
Much for n Saginaw Belle.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
The prettiest chorus girl in the Wilber
opera company tainted on the stage of the
Whitney opera house in Detroit last even
ing. She is Miss Belle Hamilton, daughter
of wealthy Saginaw lunberman, and has
been for two or three years g belle in The
city of sawdust. Becoming completely
stage-struek, she Joined the company in
Detroit Sunday, and made her frst public
appearance in tights ON Sunday evening.
She has fair voice, superb figure, and
dances with grace. Her beauty and grace
attracted much attention, and her first ap-
pearance was a great success. 4 mischiev-
GUS young man, formerly of Saginaw, who
had worshiped at her feet, heard of her de-
but and telephoned the fact TO his Saginaw
chums. When Miss Hamilton faced the
audience at Whitncy's last evening she was
confronted by twenty-five grinning young
men from Saginaw. They were in evening
dress, wore large boqnsis and had skull
caps, to indicate thst they were all bald.
They occupied the front rowe, and all lev
eled their opera glasses as their silly &C
quaintance. Mas Hamilton would have
fallen to the floor had she not been caught,
and the grand march had to proceed with
out her. She appeared in the last sct, how
ever, blushing hard, and managed 10 dance
the hornpipe, for which she had been sp-
plRuded on the previous evening. Her
heart is full of resentment for her former
Saginaw acquaintance, and she is thinking
of abandoning the stage.

Dilapfdated Mansions That Arc oe.

Rank.
Americans who visit London for the
first time are always filled with astonish-
ment at the very often Insignificant houses
occupied by personages of high rank, says
the Illustrated American. Accustomed to
see their own countrymen rush into town
lots and stone barns as a first expression
of newly acquired millions, they marvel
that an English earl is content with city
residence 80 limited, and saves all his
money for the improvement of the family
country seats. Yet SO it is, and among
the Americans received by her grace of
Manchester much amazement is excited by
the state of her establishment and sur
roundings.
1t is small and shabby, q residence in
which no member of the four hundred
would deign to dwell in New York. As
with SO many English houses, the dining
room is on the basement floor. The fur
niture is faded and worn to a degree, with
forlorn dotted Swiss curtains st the win
dows, black with London smoke most of
the time, and full enough of holes to make
frst-class sifters.
upstairs, in the drawing-rooms, it is
much the same. Dingy carpets, dusty
hangings, with threadbare patches on old
brocades, and general air of being used
up.
OF course, all about are objects of great
value and beauty, rare pictures, pieces of
rich tapestry and priceless porcelains, and
on tables Of eastern workmanship stand
gold vinaigrettes studded with big jewels,
picture frames set with brilliants, and SO
on. The fact is that only Americans and
a few fabulously wealthy mobiles can afford
great town houses. AS with the Manches-
ters, it requires every cent they can raise
to support country properties; those, after
all, are the ones English people really care
about They all entertain, more or less, a
contempt for the city, abuse it, barely
stop long enough for the season, and on
every excuse are off to the continent, or
entertaining or being entertained at castle
or manor.

The Temper OF Animals.

Animal temper is naturally pacific, equa-
BILE and mild. Bad temper is the privilege
of more highly organized natures; and the
mild resentment of the placable tiger finds
its development in the apoplectic fury of
the mandril and the measured malice of
mankind. Horace's suggestion that Pro-
metheus added to the ill-temper of man
the strength of mad lion must be taken
literally. The general law of good-nature
in the animal world makes the exceptions
all the moro remarkable. Quarrelsome
species appear among friendly tribe, just
a. an n-tempered individual does in 9
kindly species.

Mr. Columbus-Mr. Christopher Colum-
bus-has been in the worlds eye long
time. He has been voluminously talked
about and written about. He will be cele-
brated next year in this country in a way
such as has never distinguished any other
great man. But who, during all the many
years in which Mr.. Columbus has shone,
has given any thought to Mrs. Columbusl
Who would now if the Chicago Tribune
had not, in moment of inspiration, de-
cided that she ought to be at least noticed
during this time of Mr.. Columbus great
est honor. 1t appears that che was well
worthy share of the honor which belongs
to the Columbus family. Before she mar
ried Christopher, about 1470, she was a
Miss Palestrello, Of Lisbon, whose father
had distinguished himself as a navigator.
A part of Miss Palestrello's marriage
dover was great collection of
valuable charts, journals and import
ant memoranda. From childhood
she had displayed wonderful enthusi-
asm on the subject, partaking to a marked
degree of the speculative and adventure
some ideas and schemes in the line of geo.
graphical discovery for which Lisbon was
then headquarters. She possessed fine
education, and was widely known as o
brainy, brilliant woman, who was constant
ly urging her husband on in the path
which finally brought him to the wonder
full goal with which we are 30 familiar.
While girl Miss Palestrello made num-
ber of hazardous voyages with her father
in unfamiliar waters, and later many geo.
graphical drawings, several of which were
used with great profit by Columbus when
he had won her for his wife and set out
upon his more important wanderings on
the great deep.
If the "lady" managers of the Worlds
fair don't see to it that Mrs. Columbus re-
ceives proper recognition in Chicago they
will be false to themselves and to their
