THAT three-quarters of a million
Of people should gather to witness a
spectacle is more than nine DAYS
wonder. The record will not be
broken, probably, during the present
generation. Projectors of future in
ternational expeditions may endeavor
to equal the showing, but it is not
likely they will succeed. Indeed, the
attempt would be hopeless in any
city, with the possible exception of
London. That metropolis, with the
thickly settled territory surrounding
it, might hope to rival the Chicago
day record, but no other European
capital can do So Paris set the high
mark for European expositions, and
Paris fell far short of Chicago What
the French capital cannot do may
we'll be considered hopeless by Berlin,
Vienna or Antwerp The figures

tion and the despair of exposition
makers for many years to come.

THOSE optimists who do not believe
that general European war is closely
impending should take particular
note OF the fact that the willy finap-
cier, Baron de Hirsch, has lately sold
out 5000, 900 worth Of italian bonds,
and put the money into American
securities. He sees the storm coming,
and he does not mean to be incum-
bered with stocks OF the weakest
member of the triple Alliance"
when the lightning strikes.

suffers untold agonies in getting
things just right Mr.. Bourget is
good fellow. He is an appreciative
visitor at the Fair, and he says we
are great nation. He also writes
books that are interesting to some
people. That's all. He is not in the
circus business, despite the advance
agent methods of New York news
paper that has been booming him,
and it must be distressing to him to be
toutcd and advertised like a comic
prima donna. Suppose we let Paul

WE have all been to social gather
1ngs and met the young lady who had
to be coaxed to play or sing. OF
course, II a young lady does not in
tend to sing or perform, the hostess
should not ask her to do so more than
twice at most. l don't believe in
helping these exhibitions of vanity
and caprice, by repeated importuni-
ties. Well-bred men or women, if
they can add to the pleasure and en-
joyment of social gathering, will
not for moment hesitate to do so
upon request of the host or hostess.

field are the defendants in Il rather
singular suit for damages. At the re-
cent reunion at Gettysburg a photog-
rapher attempted to take a picture
of group in which the two generals
were standing. They objected, the
photographer persisted, and finally
some one kicked over the camera
and kicked the photographer himself
of the field. He now sues for dam
ages done his camera, his person and
his feelings, and declares that he will
fight it out on that line if it takes
all winter.

Carrick-a-rede. 1t is a rope bridge
thrown across wild chasm in the
rocks, through which the waves dash
and foam in widest fury. The chasm
is sixty feet deep and the rock on
either side rises to height of eighty
feet from the surface of the water.
Near the small town of Antrim
stands one of the most remarkable of
the ancient round towers, ninety
three feet high and f1fty-three feet in

PROFESSOR LoMBnOso is an Italian
scientist who has turned his learned
attention to the subject of kissing.
He has been nosing around the Ii
braries gathering information and
announces, as the result of his in
vestigations, that kissing was, until
comparatively lately, an entirely ma
ternal action and not in any way
peculiar to lovers. He quotes Homer
and the old Indian literature to sus-
tain his contention, although he ad-
mits that in the modern Hindu
poems twelve kinds of kisses are
mentioned.

ElOPED ON A STEER,

The Romantic Marriage OF Carrie Coats
and Sandy johnson.
Perhaps the strangest case of elope-
ment on record took place in Nc
Dowell County, West Virginia The
parties directly concerned we've Miss
Carrie Coats, pretty, peachy-cheeked'
country damsel of II, and Sandy,
Johnson, tall, stalwart, cookbook
ing mOuntaineer of %. Carrie loved
Sandy and Sandy reciprocated her
affections. But Carries pa would
not hear of his daughters marriage
to Sandy johnson and the couple re-
solved to elope. So placing his young
sweetheart on the back of steer,
Sandy walked along by her side into
town. The unusual spectacle drew a
crowd of villagers and when the
townspeople heard the lovers story,
half dozen magistrates were hunted
up. But none of them could be
found to tie the nuptial knot on &C
count of Carries age. The tears of

HENRY LABOUCHERE's unknown
tormentor, who caused wagon loads
OF goods to be sent to the editor Of
Truth, who has never ordered them,
has now turned his attention to Mr..
Caine, another member of Parlia-
ment, for whom he has obligingly
placed large orders with carpet man
ufacturers, furniture dealers, and
jewelers.. The joker has thus far
eluded the polio, although his oper-
ations have extended over a period
of nearly a year.

The long and eventful life of Fer
dinand de Lesseps is drawing rapidly
to Il close. He lived too late for his
own fame. Had he died after the
successful accomplishment of the
great engineering and financial task
involved in the Suez canal his name
would have been illustrious forever
and untarnished. As it is, unfortu.
nately, the scandal of the Panama
canal clouds a reputation which had
been OF the very best. The Panama
failure is monumental scandal. 1t
is doubtful If De Lesseps himself
knew the extent of it. The under
taking came in his declining years
and he probably did not realize the
extent to which his name was PLAYED
upon by knaves and cozeners He
narrowly escaped at fourscore and ten
the ignOminy of punishment by the
state for his part in the stupendous
failure. 1t is charitable to assume
that De LesSeps. during the entire
period Of the formation of the Pana-
ma Canal Company, was not himself.
He was not. by reason of increasing
years and inflrmities, the De Lesseps
who constructed the Suez canal. 1t
is melancholy ending for long and,
until this mischance befell, a noble
life. Effort will be made to prolons
his existence, but why? His course
is run, and one may say of him as
was said Of King Lear, abandoned in
his old age:
Vex not his ghost: oh. let him pass He
hates him much
That would upon the rack OF TIN touah
world
Stretch him out longer

Good Manners,

AS Sheridan says of wit, so it might
be said of good manners, that they
are more nearly allied to good. nature
than shopmen imagine. While spuri-
Gus politeness hinges on respect Of
persons and has its sliding scale of
manners-these for the company of
a grandee, these for everyday life,
and these for poor relation-true
politeness disdains to look beyond or
outside OF itself for principle where

gentleman is absolutely and unalter-
ably the same In the cottage and in
the palace, simply out Of respect for

Alcohol.

Alcohol, although the most con-

an unreliable fluid for low tempera-

the three vices Of sticking to the

water content, which affect its ex.
pansion materially. NJ. Chappuis

The pretty young bride, however,
