Mrs. Potter Paimer's Salary.

Washington Special in Chicago Record
The Treasury Department has written
Mrs. Potter Palmer to forward her bill for
salary due her as president Of the ladies'
board in order that Q ruling may be had on
the payment of her salary in Isabella
quarter dollars. Owing TO the peculiar
wording of the law authorizing the SOU
venir quarters there was danger that tho
lad les board would not secure possession
of the COINS. but that they would be paid
out by the treasury on vouchers to the
various creditors of the board. As Mrs.
Palmer's salary has not been paid since she
became president she is now one of the
largest creditors. She draws $50 month.
which she turns over to her clerk. This
has left an accumulation of about $1,000
due her personally for salary. The de-
partment is disposed to pay this amount In
the Isabella coins. but in the letter sent
her no ruling is made. rs Secretary Carlisle
wants the bills formally presented before de-
Gliding. The entire issue of Isabelle quart
ers il only $4,000. SO that her salary covers
nearly the entire issue. 1t is understood
that siis. Palmer takes this course In be-
half OF the laoies' board In order to keep
the coins from passing into the hands of
private parties who would sell them at
four or five times their value.

Fans Stir Up a Breeze.

Chicago Tribune.
Yesterday afternoon there was almost Q
riot in the east gallery of the Manufactures
Building because OF an attempt made by q
sewing machine company to give away
fans of the Japanese variety. made of split
bamboo and covered on either side with
rice paper containing an advertisement
for the firm. The man whose concession
was at stake heard of the outrage being
perpetrated and he rushed upstairs threo
steps at time. full of indignation and q
determination to protect his rights at any
cost. He called upon the sewing machine
people and demanded that they should i'm
medistely cease giving fans to visitors. As
the machine company had ordered 100000
OF these fans TO be given away during the
exposition, and as they would be of no
value for any other purpose. the manager
naturally refused TO comply with the de-
mand. Then the fan concessionaire got
two Columbi guards to stand in front of
the exhibit and prevent the fans being
given away. The sswinR-machlne COM
pany got q half dozen men INSIDE the Ok
hibit. each of whom was supplied with an
armful of fans. and they trampled upon
she blue-coated authority of the Column
bisn guards and jeered at the concession
nsire: who stood by. The Column ban
guards kept the visitors from getting near
enough to be handed fans, but the young
men deXterously threw them out into the
middle of the crowd which blocked the
aisle on either side. There was almost q
riot for awhile. and finally the fan man
called on Chief Allison, of the department.
of manufactures. to interfere In mis- behalf
The Chief happened to be tanning himself
with one of the identical fans at the time.
and he replied to his caller that it was no
funeral of his. The result was that during
the last half of the afternoon the machine
company gave away more fans than 1t had
counted on giving out In q week.

Sea Monsters of Old.

The kraken was one of the sea mon- sters of old, and if all the stories told about it's wondrous size and doings are trueit overshadowed the serpent as much as the latter does the common garter snake. Dandelaus declares that this marine giant caused tidal waves by swal- lowing goodly part of the waters of the ocean and then belching them out again. He also makes mention of the fact that it's gigantic horny beak was often mistaken for mountain peaks sud- denly showed into sight by the internal convulsions of the earth. Bishop Pon- toppidan, a truthful @ and saintly mem- Der of the Copenhagen royal academy, is much more conservative in his esti- mates of its size, giving it as his opinion that they were seldom found more than ''the half of an Italian mile in length and not larger in diameter than the cathedral at The Hague"
 He also says that its body was ire quently mistaken by sailors for an island, ''so that people landed upon it and were engulfed in 8 maelstrom of water when the creature sank to it's hidden ocean den." Other authorities testify that its beak from the eyes to the point twas longer than the mainmast of man-of- war" We'll take sea serpents in ours.- St. Louis Republic.

Eiving g paughter Awax 1n the orient.

Giving a Daughter Away In the Orient.
 In the east-in India, China and Japan girls are married very young. With us they would still be considered chil- dren and would be in bibs and pinafores. But over there girls of 12 are considered of full marriageable age, and it is not at all uncommon to find wives of or or 10 years. When proposal of marriage is made, the father of the young girl is applied to, and the following style of an swer is considered stylish and elegant:
 "Ihave received with respect the marks of your goodness. The choice that you deign to make of my daughter to become the wife of your son shows that you es- teem my poor daughter more than she deserves. My daughter is coarse and stupid, and have not had the talent to bring her up we'll. Yet shall neverthe- less glory in obeying you on this occa- sion."
 This is the proper and accepted mode of reply. But fortunately for the girl wives of the east individuals are often kinder than the law itself, so that family is often bound together by happy and cordial relations, such as could not exist if man really felt his wife to be coarse and stupid.-Kansas City Times.

A Bumptious Doctor.

An amusing instance of bumptiousness and affectation of superior knowledge on the part of medical man receiving wholesome check at the hands of jury man is recorded in Lord Cockburn's Circuit Journeys" A woman was be- ing tried for the murder of her child, and it appeared from the evidence that the child's throat was crammed full of bits of coal, and that there were marks of & thumb and two fingers on the outside of the neck.
 These practical tests, however, had little effect upon medical opinion. When ever any of the murderous appearances, such as the finger marks on the neck, were put to one of the doctors called for the defense, the scientific gentleman, to show his experience, stated that however much these things might startle the ig- norant they were of no consequence to @ person of large practice, and that he him. self had seen hundreds of children born with identical marks. Aye, but doctor" said one of the jurymen of practical turn of mind, "did ye ever see ony O them born wi coals f their mouths?'

Difficulties of Smokers

The Turks are now 8 nation of smok- CTS, but early in the seventeenth century the priests and rulers denounced smoking as criminal, and Amurath " ordered it's punishment by death in the cruelest forms. One playful punishment con- sisted in thrusting the pipes of smokers through their noses.
 In Russia, at the same period, the noses of smokers were cut off. The powers ecclesiastical were strongly opposed the new habit, and Popes Urban VII and Innocent X thundered in turn against the terrible vice of smoking. The papal thunders, however, proved powerless against the charms of St. Nicotine, al- though there was much reason in those decrees which were directed against the custom of smoking and snuffing in church. Pope Urban communicated all who should be guilty of so unbecoming & practice. And later Innocent X sol emnly communicated all who should take snuff or tobacco in St. Peter's church at Rome.-All the Year Round.

Russian Drivers.

Mime. de Ujfalvy Bourbon, describing her travels in western Siberia, says that for part of the way she and her hus- band drove from town to town with horses hired from the Cossacks. They were fine horses and travelled with fright full rapidity. Generally they were un- accustomed to being driven together. Only the middle one-the most docile- was harnessed before the time for start ing. The others were not brought out until the driver was on his seat. When the manager of the station pronounced the word "gatof" (ready), the carriage bounded forward. The horses tore mad ly on for 15 or 20 minutes, and it was hard to tell whether they or the driver had the mastery.
 On the plain it was magnificent drive. When the horses were well started, the driver let the reins hang loose, and they kept up fine pace. The driver had them we'll in hand, and there was no danger: he calmed and guided them with wonder full skill. Honor to the Russian coach men.-Manchester Times.

The Pillar Of Safety.

Before the erection of the new univer- sity buildings in Jena the professors generally held their lectures in various public halls scattered all over the town. In the body of one of these halls, where the professor of theology used to hold forth, there stood a large pillar. At the close of the session the students applied to the professor for their certificates of attendance, when the latter remarked to one of the young men:
 "But, my dear sir, I never saw you at any of my lectures!"
 "Oh, Herr Professor, always sat be- hind the pillar"
