FOREIGN PERSONA


PRESIDENT RODRIGUEZ of Costa RIGA
has been unsuccessful in his attempt
to borrow 81, 100000. He will meet with
wide sympathy.
PAUL DE CAssAGNAc is nearly fifty
years old, but does not look his age.
s'Some twenty-odd duels have left no
trace on the tall, squarely built figure
and dark imperious face" But then
these were French duels.
MISS JESSIE AcKERMAN, an English
missionary, recently put on diving
dress and went down sixty feet to the
bed of the ocean on the greatest pearl
ing grounds of the world, between
Australia and Singapore, where 1900
men are constantly at work.
NINE. RODRIGUEZ, noted Partisan
dressmaler, died recently in a lunatic
asylum Fer fame was great, and she
always refused to make dresses for
women with poor figures A certain
duchess had often desired to become
one of her patrons, but Nine. Rodri-
guez invariably said: "When you have
shoulders will dress you"

INTERESTING FIGURES.

THE public and private indebtedness
of the world is estimated to be $780,
600, 600, 900.
THE Merrimac river is said to move
more machinery than any other stream
in the world.
AT the present rate of increase there
will be 100, 900, 900 people in the United
States in fifty years.
In the construction of the Snez canal
$4,000, 900 cubic yards of material were
excavated by $4,000 laborers.
POTATOES first appear in history in
1903. In 1892 the United States raised
POI, 00O, 900 bushels. In 1884 the world
raised 70, 900, 900 tons.
ACCORDING to the last census there
are over 100000 bachelors in the
United States-that is, 100000 men
over thirty years old who have never
been married.
CHIsGAo is the enterprising potato

ODDITIES OF NATURE.

Curious Things to Wonder Over By the
"Know It All People"
There are processes of nature which
seem as inexplicable as the operation
of the mind
Why does sugar always crystalline
in certain way and salt in certain
other way? An infallible test for
some minerals is in their form Of
capitalization, says the Seattle Tele-
graph.
Why does the mysterious movement
of the sap in a plant proceed with such
absolute regularity that in the leaf,
say of variegated geranium, little
coloring matter of one shade is dropped
at one point and little of another
shade at another point, with never
mistake?
Why does nature, or rather how does
nature, tell the wheat that is grown IN
northern ATTITUDES that it must produce
many seeds to each plant, SO that some
of them may survive the rigor OF the
winter?
Why do the plants of the tropics ex-
pend all their forces in leaf and gor-
geous flower, and yield only a few
seeds, as II they knew that in the
genial climate where they flourish
every seed stood grand chance of
growing?

THE DEADLY ToADsTooL.


Row ths N1ushroOm May Ne Distinguished
from lts Poisonous Imitator.
The epidemic Of deaths from toad
stool poisoning continues without
abatement, says the Philadelphia
Record The alarm is spread. Col
nmns have been printed, most Of them
revealing the fact that the writers
could not tell toadstool from mush-
room, and terminating usually with
the sage and satisfying advice to
the person who wishes to know how
to distinguish toadstools from mush-
rooms that the safest plan is to s'buy
your mushrooms from q reliable
dealer" In the meantime, at q season
when mushrooms are growing in many
fields and the deadly toadstoo1 APP
pears in every woods, people continue
to eat toadstools for mushrooms and
die in consequence Of their ignorance.
1t is comforting, therefore, to see at
last an authoritative word on the sub
iect in letter from Charles Mc1lvaine,
who is the recognized New Jersey au-
thority on hymenomyc to the Had
donfeld News Briefly, Mr.. Nell
vaine says that in deaths from toad
stool poisoning it is usually the nm
loaded gun which is discharged into
the unloaded brain, and that it is
those who think they know all about
the edible mushrooms who usually get
poisoned. He explains thnt there is
but one deadly variety OF toadstool,
but that is very abundant. Some
other toadstools will cause temporary
distress. Another authority states
that many toadstools are just as edible
as mushrooms Mr. McIlvaine says he
has never found the deadly toadstool
growing in a field nor the edible mush-
room in woods. The mushroom grows
directly from manure. The deadly toad
stool grows from sheath, which may
be either pulled up with the specimen
or which may remain in the ground
when the stem comes loose from it.
The gills Of the deadly toadstool al
ways remain white, or in age are
slightly tinged with yellow. The
mushroom gills under the cap are
pinlSish, changing to purplish black
with age The poison of the deadly
toadstool does not take effect under
eight hours. The antidote is hypo-
dermic injection of one-sixtieth of a
grain of atropine at each dose I'M
til one-twentieth Of grain is ad-
rninistered or the action of the
poison arrested. The circulation
of Mr.. McIlyaine's explicit directions
will keep people from hunting for
mushrooms in the woods, will enable
them to avoid the deadly toadstool
and perhaps save many lives.

PAY OF FOREIGN LEGISLATORS.
Lawmnking Is Not Lucrative Profession
in France or Germany

Lawmaking Is Not n Lucrative Profession
In France or Germany
In Germany the members of the
reichstag receive no payment, bat are
provided with free passes on the Ger
man railways, says the London Daily
News. The same practice obtains in
the case of the members of the her
renhaus, /" or upper house OF the Prus-
sian legislature; but those of the lower
house receive an allowance-diaten or
tagegelder--of Is shillings day dur
ing the session, as well as travelling
expenses. France pays each OF her
senators and deputies $500 year,
minus 8 deduction of 81 month for
refreshments- pour la buvette. More
over, the members of both assemblies
travel first class and gratis on all the
state railway lines and a monthly sub
scription of SO enables them to travel
first class throughout the year on every
line. Clearly, there must be less lu-
crative professions in France than that
of senator or deputy. In Austria mem
bers of the lower house of parliament
receive 81 a day and travelling expenses.
and in Hungary $3.50 year, includ-
ing an allowance for rent. If, how
ever, we would attain the full realiza-
ton of the radical ideal in this matter
we must cross the Atlantic and con-
template the system which prevails in
the United States, where each senator,
representative and delegate in con-
gress receives salary of SIS, 1000 per an
mum. Washington may verify be
termed the Ell Dorado of the profess
sionaI politician.

NO FREE WHISKY.
Why New York Had n Comparatively Dry
 ChrIstmaa Day.

NEW YoRK, Dec. e6-In the police courts of this city this morning there were com paratiyely few 'sdrunks" This is unusual. for Christmas in New York is usually e very ''weta holiday. Morris Tekulsky, president of the Liquor Dealers associa- tion, gives tho reasen.
 'tThe saloons have quit giving away whisky" said Mir. Tekulsky. Heretofore we would give bottle of whisky to GUS tonlers on Christmas eve and New Years eve. That would bring us more custom of course, as every man who received bottle would treat Then he would probably drink enough to cause him to go out the next day for bracers. We gave no bottles away last night, and there were fewer bracers needed today.
 "It is costly practice, and you see how the stopping of it operates. There were less drunkenness and fewer fights, and there is more satisfaction all around"
 Just see what the abandonment of the free bottle of Christmas whisky means. There are 6.000 saloons in New York. President Tekulsky estimates that each one used to give away eight gallons of whisky on the average. There you have 4S,000 gallons of deadhead whisky. Each gallon would make about five bottles of the kind put up, or 24O,O bottles. With an average of 20 drinks to bottle there would be 4,S0o,000 drinks. Ten drinks ought to put an ordinary person well on the road to rip roaring jag" There you have 4S0, GOO ..iags."

Crank Letter Writer Arrested.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Joseph Donjan the man who has been writing threatening letters to a number of prominent public men during the last two weeks, is in jail here. He walked into the detective bureau of James A. McDevitt asking for food, and his identity was learned.
 It will be remembered that letter from this man to Senator Mills few days ago caused the senator's son, Charles E. Mills, to secure leave from the authorities to go armed for the protection of his father This was the cause of bringing the mans actions more prominently before the public. For several months past he has been writ ing similar letters to number of promi. nent public men, among whom were Vice President Stevenson, Senator German, Senator Mills, Senator Sherman, and, as the man himself now claims, President Cleveland and Secretary of War Lamont. As long ago as during the fight over the silver question in the senate Vice Presi- dent Stevenson received letters almost daily from Donjan, who was then in New ark, N. J. No attention was paid to them, and they were consigned to the wastebas- ket as fast as they arrived The vice presi- dent received one yesterday which was dat ed from 3o4 Leight street, this city.
 With considerable emphasis he denied that he is an anarchist or socialist. As to the letters he has been writing, he claims that he was melted to write them by other people, receiving s1oo for doing it. Asked as to the character of the persons who did this, he disclaimed that they were anarch- ists or that they formed any association. They were merely private persons. He also denies that there were any threats in the letters he had written or any references whatever to dynamite.

PENNoYER's APPEAL.
The Governor of Oregon Sends . Raths
 Peculiar Letter to che PrsaIdenk.

Peculiar Lettor to the Proaldenk.
 SALEM, Or, Dec. ad-Governor Pennoyer on Christmas addressed the following let ter to President Cleveland: .sThe extraor- dinary circumstances which greet the re- turn of this holiday must be my excuse for writing you. Today is the first Christmas in the history of Oregon when more than two-thirds of its people are without em- ployment and more than one-third ara without sufficient means of support. Busi- ness is almost completely stagnated Money is not to be obtained, and debtors are powerless to avoid seizure of their prop erty and their homes to satisfy at a small percentage of their value the claims of creditors. Repeated appeals have been semble the legislature in order to alleviate this condition of affairs and avert the im- pending calamity. The redress is, how ever, not in our hands, but in yours, and hence this appeal to you"
 This is followed by the statement that the repeal of the Sherman silver law is the cause of this state of affairs. The letter concludes as follows:
 You are father, and you no doubt feel grateful to God when you, upon retiring to rest, look upon your sleeping babies in their couches, the pictures of health conse- quent upon their having sufficiency of food and clothing. I pray you, however, to enlarge the scope of your vision and be- hold as you can in many and many a cot children loved as much by their parents as yours are by you, weak and sickly from in sufficient food and clothing-the innocent victims of vicious financial legislation, whose sleeping forms are bathed by the scaIding tears of mothers bending over them in sorrow and despair-and there re solve, as you should, faithfully to carry out the pledge which your party gave to . confiding people. If you will do so, God will bless you, and n grateful nation will applaud you"

GOSSIP OF THE CAPITAL
How Christmas Was Passed at
 the White House.
LETTER WRITING CRANK IN JAIL.

He Says He Is Not an AnarehIst, but That
 He Was Paid to wrIto the Lettsrs-Lots
 of Presents For Ruth and Baby Esther.
 White on the Chinese Matter.
 wAsHISeToS, Dec. e0.-Christmas day at the national capital was bright and sunny. Early in the morning the express wagons began arriving at the White House to add to the great stock of presents which had previously arrived. One huge dry goods box from New York was labeled for Miss Ruth Cleveland, and the Handle with care" on it told of its delicate con tents. The bundles and box were taken to the large front room on the second story, where white aproned nurse superintend- ed the unpacking.
 The president and his family enjoyed a genuine home Christmas. The stockings for the little ones had been hung up, and these were filled to overfowing. There were presents great and small, some of them rare and costly. They came from every part of the country. Not only per- sonal friends, but people in remote locali- ties were among the givers. Of course President and Mrs. Cleveland came in for full share of presents, but the president did not wish the individual gifts mention ed, as he regarded them as personal and family affairs.
 The house was closed except to specially invited guests. John P. Hopkins, the new mayor of Chicago, was one of the few ad- mitted to the president to extend Christ mas greetings and talk business, presuma. blyin connection with the thrilled Chicago federal offices. As the Presbyterian churches did not have Christmas services none of the White House family went tc church. The president and Mrs. Cleve land took advantage of the bright weather about noon and drove about the city in the White House landau. Little Margaret Bissell, daughter of the postmaster gen eral, had Christmas tree, at which Mrs Cleveland, with Ruth and Esther, Mrs Carlisle and youthful members of her fam lily and the various cabinet women and children were present.
