GLASGOW, Oct. IL. = ASSOCIATED

tended meeting held upon the green

nounced for sending troops into the
mining district and for killing men who
were only, it is claimed, trying to OBJ
tain what was justly due to them.
Among the crowd were men carrying
banners upon which caps of liberty
we're perched.
Mr.. Mattox, one of the speakers, re-
marked that rent was robbery and that
profit was plunder. These assertions
caused the widest kind of applause and
cheers. Mr.. Cunningham Graham and
others made speeches, saying that the
coal mine owners were traitors who de-
, served to be hanged.

PARIS, Oct. 12.-[ Associated Press. J.
The city of Paris is already enfete in
anticipation of the arrival at Toulon to-
morrow of the much discussed Russian
fleet. Store windows are full of Rus
sian colors and pictures of the Gear,
and the Russian coat of arms are con-
picuously displayed on all sides. All
the large towns are assuming festive
air. No amount of argument will con-
vince the French people that the visit
of the Russian squadron is not an open
move on the part of the Gar to show
his determination to side with the
French republic against common enc

Italians are very particular about the
etiquette of kissing the hand. A man
kisses the right hand of his mother, aunt
or elderly friend and the left hand of
his sweetheart. lt is not permitted him
to kiss the palm Of the hand except in
great and affectionate intimacy. 1t is
regarded as token that he is very

do so. After dinner etiquette demands
that he take her hand again and kiss it.

How an Arctic Beauty Is Mildly BulIied
Into Matrimony.
Since the Danish missionaries have
gained the confidence of the natives of
Greenland, marriages in the far north
are celebrated by the representatives
of the church. In recent issue of one
of the Danish papers one of the mis-
sionaries gives the following account
of the way courtship and marriage are
brought about:
The man calls on the missionary and
says, "I wish to take unto myself a
wife,"
"Whom'" asks the missionary.
The man gives her name.
Have you spoken with her?"
As rule the answer is in the mega
tive, and the missionary asks the reason.
because. comes the reply, lit is
so difficult. You must speak to her.
The missionary then calls the young
woman to him and says, ~ think It is
time that you marry"
But" she replies. ~ do not wish
to marry"
"That is a pity" adds the mission
ary, "as have husband for you.'
"Who is he2" asks the maiden.
The missionary names the candidate
for her love.
"But he is not worth anything. |
will not have him."
However, suggests the missionary,
"he is good fellow and attends we'll
to his house. He throws n good har.
poon, and he loves you"
The Greenland beauty listens atten-
lively, but again declares that she will
not accept the man as her husband.
Very we'll, goes on the missionary
II do not wish to force you. shall
easily find another wife for so good a
fellow"
The missionary then remains silent us
though he looked upon the incident as
closed. But in few minutes sho whis-
pers, But il you wish it.
NO" answered the pastor, "only II
you wish it. do not wish to overper-
suade you"
Another sigh follows, and the pastor
expresses regret that she cannot accept
the man.

Velocity of the Earth,s Rotation.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution ON its
axis once every "a hours. But few,
however, have any idea of the high rate
Of speed necessary to accomplish that
feat. The highest velocity ever attained
by cannon ball has been estimated at
1895 feet per second, which is equal
to mile in 3.2 seconds. The earth,
in making one revolution in "a hours,
must turn with velocity nearly equal
to that of cannon ball. In short, the
rate Of speed at the equator has been
estimated at nearly 1900 feet per Sec
ond, or a mile every SO seconds.
Therefore 1t has been calculated that IL
a cannon ball were fred due west and
could maintain its initial velocity in
dependent of the earth, and could keep
up the speed with which it left the
mouth of the gun, it would beat the
sun in his apparent journey around the
earth.-St. Louis Republic.

The effect of a dog on a cats tail is

assumes an upright position, the back
becomes highly arched, and the fur
stands out straight all over the body.
This sudden change dismays the dog,

away for u fraction of a second there is

Goodwin smiths Sew History.


In bis 'sOutline Of Political History"
Professor Goodwin Smith attempts to re-
wise our accepted estimates of Washing
ton, Jefferson, Webster. Clay and other
great Americans. and to rearrange the
status of those characters in the annals
OF statecraft war, and politics. In this
task. which he clearly finds more con-
genial in purpose than easy of execution
he is less instructive than entertaining,
and vastly more ambitious than effective.
1t need not disturb our admiration for
Goodwin Smith to discover that he re-
fuses to place Washington among the
great generals OF history, Our British
brethren have always stuck to that mo-
tion and are entitled to all the comfort
they can get ont of it. Nor need we dis
tress ourselves that he regards jefferson
as man who might have developed into
an anarchist IL the temptation had pre-
sented itself. That is merely an assump-
tion which pleases Mr.. Smith without
any impairment Of Jefferson's historical
status.

threatened Lady Aberdeen with an ac-
tion for libel for asserting that the stone
at Chicago was the genuine article.
Whether there was any ground for q
libel action may be doubted, but Lady
Aberdeen had, of course, no desire to
maintain in the face of positive state.
ment to the contrary that the stone ai
Chicago was the genuine article. Size
has accordingly agreed to withdraw the
statement and publicly intimate this in

stone is not at Chicago there is stone
from Blarney in the Irish village at the

would not bear transportation to Amer.
