WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 80. 1892.
Fall of the French Ministry.


The French Ministry under H. LoUBEr,
which has just fallen, went into power on
February q. 1892, succeeding the De FREY
crsEr Ministry.
The trouble with 1t is that the French
people believe that many Of the millions
uf francs which they paid to build the
Panama Canal were spent in bribing depu-
ties.
Baron DE REINAcH, who died quite sud-
denly recently and who was under suspi-
zion rs one of the agents in the debauch-
cry OF the deputies, is believed to have
committed suicide rather than face the
smpen6ing investigation. There has been
much public indignation because no post
mortem was made or inquest held upon
his body.
On Monday the Chamber of Deputies
adopted resolution. against ths protest
and in spite Of the explanations OF Nj.
LoUBET. expressing regret that the Baron's
papers bad not been sealed immediately
after his death. Promptly following
this hostile action NJ. LouBEr and his as
sociates offered their designations to Presi-
dent CARYor. who asked them to hold
their portfolios until other arrangements
could be made.
The leader in the overthrow of the
ministry was NJ. BRIssoN. who demands
that the investigation Of the Panama scan
tals shall be probed to the bottom. and
our latest information is that President
CARNor has entrusted him with the forma-
ton of q new ministry.
So Paris is undergoing one OF her peri
odical spssms of excitement, and DE
l.EssErs is no doubt in great agony OF
mind: but the French money is ali gone,
and the ditch their engineers dug is alto
gether worthless. Meantime, the Nicara-
qua Canal Company is hard at work on the
1sthmus Of Nicaragua and is growing In
strength and in popular confidence.

BETRAYED BY HIS HABITS.

A Thief Who Was Fond O: Eggs Is Dis
 covered in Curious Way.
 A theft has just been brought home to man by means of an egg. Some days ago, says the Galignani Messen- ger, M. Douet, pottery manufacturer, living in the Rue Goudon, Paris, was disagreeably surprised on returning from the theater with his family to find that his house had been ransaclzed, al- most all the furniture destroyed, and a sum of six thousand francs in gold and notes stolen. The next morning he put NJ. Siadoux, commissary of police, in possession of these facts, who thereup- on proceeded to the spot and opened an inquiry. In the course of his search he found a broken egg, from which the white only appeared to have been sucked. He brought the circumstance to the notice of NJ. Douet, who then re- mcmbered that carter named Dclbars, whom he had dismissed for dirty habits, was accustomed to eat eggs in this way. They arrested him along with his brother. When questioned as to how and where they had spent their time on the night of the robbery they were em- barrassed, and finally confessed that they had broken into NJ. Douct's house for motives of revenge.

Japanese EmIcrants.

Since the mibado of Japan permitted his subjects to emigrate to other coun- tries nearly one hundred thousand of them have left their native land. There are about twenty thousand of them in Hawaii and more of them arrive there every month. There is large number of them in Australia. They are to be found in various countries of the Asiatic continent, and some of them are in Flu rope. There are about two thousand of them in California, and others are constantly arriving there to work in the vineyards. In the city of New York there may be two hundred Japanese, and there are a few of them in many other American cities. Wherever they go they have the reputation of being industrious and inoffensive. The popu- lation of Japan is forty million.

British Naval Cadets.

Four naval cadets of the British training ship Britannia, stationed at Portsmouth, were expelled recently for scandalous practices in connection with the system of Tagging, system of making valets of the new arrivals and imposing on them all kinds of indigni- ties, as well as all manner of menial work. It was discovered that the old boys on the ship were outrageously ty- rannical in their treatment of the new corners, going so far as to fog them, extorting their pocket money, ,and prac- ticing all manner of blacl1mail. They tortured the new boys by squeezing their fingers between keys arranged like thumbscrew, beat their hands with bunch of keys attached to lan- yard, and the seniors carried knotted rope, which they used on the junior ca dets very freely. The Britannia is the chief training ship for the higher off cers of the navy, and it can well be i'm agined what sort of officers these young tyrants would make and how the sail ors under their command would be apt to fare.

uaHy Branch Out.
 Perhaps hint as to how the taste for map study may be developed will be ac- ceptable. Begin with mc } of your own region, on which the heights as we'll as the horizontal dimensions are portrayed, suggests a writer in the Chautauquan At any rate, you can command such map of the United States. Study it, measure it, master it, until with the eyes shut you can see the structure of this great territory. But in many parts of this country it is also easy to com mand good local typographical maps. The United States geographical survey, aided by some of the state govern ments, supplemented sometimes by pri- vate enterprise, is gradually publishing accurate maps of limited areas. As the sheets are completed, they may be ob- tained by the public. Let student take any trustworthy map of district that he knows; let him be sure that he understands the signs and symbols em plOyed in it's construction (for maps have their own diverse languages, like books and people); next let him con- PSi1 CllC HISSCACluCnO W1Gn the original, the picture with the real ity; then let him make a scale of meas urements, vertical and horizontal, of heights and distances with which he is familiar. He will thus become the pos sessor of what may be called a private measuring rod, standard to which he can refer all other geographical data. He will hold key by which he can un lock the typographical mysteries of un- seen lands. The habit will grow by it's exercise. The comparative method of study-one of the great contributions of modern times to the advancement of knowledge will come into play. Not only the great continental areas, as was stated at the beginning, but every historical land, will be found to have it's individual characteristics, which have influenced, if they have not controlled, the events that have trans pired within their limits. History and geography, like the right hand and the left, will work together. They will show us how physical barriers have been overcome by spiritual forces, and how spiritual forces have been now re- strained and now developed by the laws of the material world. They will show us how far mankind has fulfilled the primitive command to replenish the earth and Subduo it.

A Wild Apple Orchard.

The wilderness of Koolan, in the Sandwich islands, contains a forest of native wild apple trees, countless in number. stretching from the sea far up the mountain sides. The trees vary from forty to fifty feet in helght. and in the harvest season, from July to September, arc loaded down with fruit, some white, but mostly red. A person standing in the midst of this orchard can look around him for miles, up the mountains and toward the road, and the only thing in view will be one vast grove Of apple trees literally red with ripe and ripening fruit, the branches of the trees bending to the ground with the bounteouS harvest. The crop of this extensive apple orchard which nature planted in the solitary waste would fill fleet of one hundred steam CTS. The orchard stretches over a country from five to ten miles wide by twenty miles long, and many of the larger trees bear at least fifty barrels apiece,

GENIUS IN A CAT TRADE.
A Boy Who Made a Double Deal in Fe-
 line Specul3tiO2.

line Specul3cIOH
 A boy was heard telling his com panions the other day about little speculation he had succeeded in making, says the Utica Observer. A lady hailed him and asked him if he knew of any one who wanted a cat. He didn't at first recall family in need of one, but when she suggested that quarter of a dollar would be given him if he would find some nice, pleasant family that would give the animal Q home, he sud- denly recollected family in distant ncighbOrhood, and put the cat under his arm and the quarter in his pocket. He started off down the street, and had walked several blocks looking for a barn that offered Inducements for cats, and finally met couple of young ladies. One of them noticed the tabby's s.rel coat, and they stopped the boy and asked him whose it was. Of course it was his, and in less than jiffy he thought more of that little animal than he ever did before of cat in his life. Would he sell it? Well, he didn't care to, because he wanted to carry it home to lis little sister, but he thought, ,possi- bly, he could get another one, though probably he could never find such nice cat as that. Would he take half dol lar for it and carry it home for her? Yes, he would, cause he wanted the money to get him some new shoes. So he got the half-dollar, and the young lady got the cat safely delivered at her home. It is surmised that the boy had been reading the record of some of the county officers as brought out before the Investigating committee.

THE SHAFTS SON.
Custom by Which the Persian Rulers
 Family Is Increased.


 Some weeks ago youth of twenty tc twenty-one years old, dressed as peas ant, arrived at Teheran, says the Lon- don News, and after wandering for a day or two presented himself at ono of the shah's palace doors and asked to be presented to Prince Naib-es-Sultan- eh, his brother. The porters and serv- ants, thinking that he was out of his mind, began to chaff him. The youth persisting in his demand of seeing the prince, the servants got out of temper and drove him away. He then told them that they would repent of their rudeness, because he was a shahzadeh (shah's son). Naib-es-Sultaneh, having somehow heard of the incident, sent for the youth. When the latter arrived the prince asked him how he dared to call himself a shahzadeh. "Because I am the son of the shah," answered the peasant. ''Shah's son! IIow?" ''When the shah," said the youth, lon his pilgrim age to Kerbelia some twenty-one years ago alighted in our village he saw my mother, then young girl, who pleased him and found grace in his eyes. His majesty made 'sigheh' with her. Sigh eh' is temporary marriage contract for specified time. It may be for a few hours or for many years. Children born from the 'sigheh' have the same rights with those born from aghd, or proper marriage On leaving the place the shah gave my mother 'dest- khet' and 'nishaneh' a royal writ and tolzenl, and told her: If q boy is bern let him come to me with these tokens and I will acknowledge him." Upon this the youth drew out of his pocket paper and signet and handed them tc Naib-es-Sultaneh. The prince found the paper to be in the kings own hand writing, and the slgnet to have formerly belonged to the royal treasury. On close examination of the youths physiogno- my he observed that some ineaments of his face greatly resembled those of the shah. Naib-es-Sultaneh believed the youths story, and after dressing him in Q princely manner presented him to the king. His majesty, on hearing the young mans statement, recollected the event and observed the resemblance which the youth bore to himself. He oc.:,. ar that the youth should hence forth be acknowledged as shahzaden, everything be supplied for his princely maintenance, and masters be appointed tO pive him a proper education.
