A ROYAL MOThER-lN.LAW.
A Woman who Holds the Peace Of Ell
rope In Her Hands.

It is the popular idea that in the
hands Of the czar of Russia lies the
fate of Europe. The situation is some
thing like this: One the one hand is
the triple alliance-Germany, Austria.
Italy. On the other hand is unrestful
France, and, through it's natural enmity
to Germany, Russia for an invincible
ally. Russia, with it's legions of men,
machines, it's cannon, its war ships, its
gold ready to be thrown against the
peace of Europe, is at the command
Of one mind. one will-that of the czar.
No other such pOtentate exists on
earth. Yet the popular idea, it seems.
is wrong. Not in the hands and at the
will of this powerful monarch lies the
peace of Europe. 1t rests between the
gentle, frail palms OF a woman, the
czar's mother-in-law. According to NJ.
de Blowitz, in an article on the situa-
ton in Europe in McClure's Magazine,
but for the queen of Denmark Europe
would be battle-ground. and the civil
lied world would resound with the
groans of the wounded and the cries Of
she women and children who are be-
reft. The queen of Denmark loves the
young Emperor William, whom she at
fcctionately calls my angel" The
ear loves the mother OF his wife. II
is her gentle diplomacy that brought
about the meeting of reconciliation be
tween the two emperors at Kiel. tits
10 crafty the kindly affection and not
70 grieve the affectionate heart of 4
woman in her declining years that
the two proud young turlley-coclss OF
emperors are forbearing to slay one
another's subjects and drench Europe
in blood. Surely the power OF affec-
tion and the influence of woman was
never shown in a more interesting
manner. But what is best worth re-
marking is that the destiny of Europe
is in the keeping of a moth er-in-law.

MAN in 6S wants some parlor match
cs. He says these eight-dAy sticks arc
a confounded nuisance" the bell boy
said to the clerk in one Of the hotels
yesterday. according to the Kansas
City Times
"Tell him he'll have to get along
with the old style MATCH" answered
the clerk. 1.-THE insurance companies
don't allow parlor matches in the
rooms.
Eyes, that's . fact" he continued, In
answer to surprised questioncr. I'm
surancc policies OF nearly all companies
prohibit the keeping and use OF parior
matches in any part OF . hotel, but they
are generally kept in the Offices because
they are in greater favor and more con
venient than the sulphur match, apd
the requirement OF the policy is to that
extent overlooked by both its holders
and the issuing company. There isn4
much chance for IN accidental ignition
of parior match to do much harm in
. hotel Office, but they are dangerous
things in rooms where carpets or cur
tains or stray paper ore liable to catch
fire from them. They are not only moro
easily lighted by accident, such -
stepping upon them, but. ss is not gen.
orally known, they often break out ID
fame from spontaneous combustion
You may judge how easily this \ lia-
BILE to happen by holding bunch OF
them in the dark and wAtehing The
fume that continually arises eaon'
them. The sulphur match i not ~
dangerous in any Of these Particular.

The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1893-10-07

Henry Wolff, in ''The Country OF the
vosges," says that the people of the
little village OF Rufach have very
common-sense notion OF keeping their
own good things entirely to them
selves-even such as elsewhere one
would prefer to see used by ones
neighbors. Thus, for instance, when
they had set up brand-new gallows OF
good seasoned lakewood on one OF the
finest hilltops in the neighborhood. rs
is the custom in Germany, and IN ad-
joining parish begged to be allowed to
hang one of its malefactors upon it, it
is on record that the Rufachers in
dignantly denied them, protesting:
"This gallows is for ourselves only, and
for our children"

SHARP EYES.
Small Things Which Are Readily Detected
BY Trained Optics.

Small Things Which Are Readily Detected
by Trained Optics.
We never see everything that is
about us. and no two of us ever see
precisely the same things. Each sees
what his previous training and his
habit of mind have prepared him to
see. When Mr.. Hudson was in Patago-
MIA he fell in with a gambler. who told
him that always after the first few
rounds of the game he knew some OF
the cards as they were dealt; he recog-
nized them by a difference SO slight
that another man could not detect it
even when it was pointed out to him.
Mr.. Hudson is an ornithologist. and
he says that this same preternaturally
sharp-eyed man was greatly surprised
when he was told that half q dozen
kinds Of sparrows were feeding and
singing about the house. He had never
seen any difference in them, he said.
In size, color, shape and actions they
were all alike, and they all sang and
twittered alike, SO far as he had ever
noticed.
Native Patagonians, like other saw
age peoples. have very keen eyes for
certain things-things which their
modes OF life have made it indispensa-
BILE that they should notice. In other
words, they are specialists, and as q
matter Of course they excel in their
own particular line. But it does not
follow that they have better eyes than
are poss essed by men OF civilized coun-
tries
Set one of them to find . reversed
.'s' in the middle of = printed page.
says Mr.. Hudson, and the tears would
run down his brown checks and he
would give up the search with aching
eyeballs. But the proof reader can find
the reversed letter in q few moments
and never strain his eyes in the least.
snake That Climbs Glass Walls.
In the natural history museum 1t
Paris there is . snake that climbs up
the polished glass walls of its cage.
The process is described as follows.
and is vouched for by Leon Vaillant,
professor d'erpetologie:" The snake.
which is thirty centimeters long. first
raises its head some way against the
glass, and proceeds to disgorge from
its salivary and lachrymal glands m
adhesive viscous fluid, by the aid OF
which it succeeds in drawing its whole
body up the cage. A curious fact is
that the end of the tail is kept tightly
curled, so as to afford . broader and
more substantial base of operations.
This phenomenon seems to dispose of
the question whether snakes are able,
as reported, to climb up walls and PEN
citrate the ceilings of houses.
Superstitious people are alarmed by
the unusual or the unexpected. &C.
cassionally in late, cold spring Eng
lish birds will tap on the house win

New Way Of Appointing Committees,

WASHINGTON, d. Q, AUGUST II
Representative Oates of Alabama,
is said to have in view the introduction
OF an amendment to the rules Of the
HouFe, vestng In the House itself the
appointment OF committees something
after the fashion followed in the Senate.
There each party appoints steering
committee which does the clerical work
OF arranging the comittees, and after
their selection has been approved in
caucus. the choice is ratified by formal
action of the Senate. At the beginning Of
every Congress the plan outlined above
or something similar TO IL, has been
preached and discussed but nothing has
yet come OF IL, and the indications are
now that the time is not ripe for the
change
