Hole. In tA. prlnhins cup..

Evay tin cup in the police stations
 of this city now has q hole punched
 in it's bottom. The police comrnis- aoners wondered at the disappear ance of @ many cups some time ago and caused an investigation to be made. This showed that the police men were in the habit or carrying cups of water to their sleeping rooms to Qpench their thirst during the night In this way the cups were mislaid and never returned to their proper places Many remedies were suggested. but without avail. The cups were ted by chains Snd strings but they continued to disappear. Al last an ingenious member of the de partment suggested punching a hole in the bottom of every cup. Then it would be impossible for them to hold water any Rngth of time. The in ventor did not secure a patent. and in all Ghe station houses his plan has been adopted. New York Times.

What was the great weapon used by the Englishman at Hsstingsi With what weapon was he armed for the most part when he dealt such deadly blows upon the Norman horse men in the earlier part of tke day As to the answer to this question we are left in no doubt History ard tradition alike ascribe bis long re- sistance to one weapon. and one weapon alone. the famous Danish ax
 With one exception every single act of valor which the Englishman achieved at Hastings was wrought with the ax or the gisarme. As the Norman weapon was the lance, So the English was the ax. ''The Nor. mans, says Harold to his brother Gurth, ''are good vassals, valiant on foot and on horse.

A society favorite who was deecrib. ing a young woman by whom he had 6een much attracted was laughed at for his extravagant admiration.
 According to your own state ment," said a listener, the girl hasn't single redeeming feature"
 No, i" was the earnest reply, but she is the pink of neatness. Her gowns are always in perfect trim and speckless. Her skin is fresh and glowing and shows that it never has been tempered with. Her hair is not dry and dandruffy and all ellocls. In short, you can't imagine how fetching this one virtue If she had no othsrl makes an otherwise rather insignificant persoA.

Nrvea TOO MANY POETS
A Rough Estimate of the Number That Ex-
 ist Upon the Earth.


 Question--H How many living poets are there in the world at the wind ing up of the nineteenth century Answer About 1000, GOO. That is our estimate In makins it we allow 100, 900 for this country. 0,000 for England and Ireland, half doIen for Canada, 100 for Africa (excluding the Barbary states and Egypt, 4e, 600 or 50,OO0 for South America, where capriccioso poets flourish like mites in an old cheese, 100. 900 for the powers of the triple alliance, 7s, 900 for France, as many for Spain, half as many for Portugal, %, 600 for Russia, as many for Turkey, big lot for Scandinavian countries. 600 for Iceland. bakers dozen for Aus tralia, small squad for Mexico and the rest for Asia, which contains more than one-half of the human race.
 We have not time to classify the poets. but three classes are always prominent, the muscular, the moral and the morbid, or. in other words the bass drummers, the harpists and the bone rattlers, to which kinds we may add those who fife for love, those who fiddle for fun and those who run the hurdy gurdy for cold each, all of whom fight for a place in the poetic orchestra of this period of the nineteenth century. We hold that some of our American poetry is better than most of the foreign poet ry, though there could hardly be any worse than heap of ours.
 We cannot tell here why if Is that, in these times, less than . tenth pert of the worlds poetry is made by the gentle sex. which is far more poet. ical in spirit and life than the other sex, more jealous in devotion to the beautiful and even perhaps more sentimental. It may be because wom- en have something better to do than rhyming, or because they would rather put their poetry into their lives than verse.
 Poetry that is majestic, gentle, in spring, splendid. dainty, ardent, pure, beautiful, heart expanding, sO- facing, enchanting, melodious, spar kling. heroic, honlike or birdlike we love The poets who are able to make such poetry can never be too We wish we had 10 of them, or 10 times 10, to every one we have now.

CIeartng Land os smalI s,oa-..

In clearing land always haul the small stones and dump them on one or more large piles. They can then be got at when wanted, and few large piles are much better than a number of small ones dumped here and there, which assuredly will be in the way in after years. When large gullies have to be filled or drains are needed, these small stones will be found very handy to get at, even when the ground is hard frozen. for only the bottom layers will freeze, and with a steel shovel and pick they may be loosened and thrown into the cart without touch ing them with the hands.

The victim of the ''didn't-know-it- was-loaded," guard at the peniten- tiary is said to be getting along all right and the Gatling gun, from which the ball was fired isn't suffering at all from the discharge, ac- cording to latest reports. The Gag cite says that "the guard that caused the accident was not to blame at all as it was purely acci- dental and unavoidable. The guard will not, therefore be discharged Of. course he wasn't to blame.

Every one who has been much ct sea knows something of the peculiar splendor of the heavens when beheld from the deck of g ship. Celestial phenomena seem to possess an un. usual impressiveness when viewed under such circumstances. Tie clear ness of the air in fair weather and the hatness and distance of the hori- Eon tend to heighten this effect. A similar impression is noticed upon the broad, grassy plains of Texaa.-- Youths Companion.

ELECTORAL VOTES COUNTED.
Cleveland aud stevenson Formally De-
clared Elected

Cleveland aud Stevenson Formally De-
clared Elected
WASHINGTON, Feb 9.--The morning
hour in the Senate was spent for the most
part in the consideration and passage of
bills on the calendar, and considerable
progress was made in that direction.
AT 1 o'clock the Senators, headed by
Vice-President Morton, and accompanied
by some of the principal officers, pro-
ceeded to the Hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and there took part in the
ceremony of counting tue votes for Presi-
dental Electors.
The actual ceremonies this year were
nearly the same as four years ago with q
slight difference in personnel
There was the ceremonious opening of
the safe in the Vice Presi lent's room and
the taking out of the 50 sealed packages
supposed to represent the votes of Al
States as received in, duplicate by mail
and messeLg ger; there was the solemn
procession in goose step' of old Captain
Bassett, who has participated in every
Presidential count for more than sixty
years, escorted by squad Of Capitol
police TO prevent Il raid being made upon
the precious locked boxes containing the
votes
This was precaution originating on
the fears of acting Vice-President Ferry
In the troublous times Of the disputed
count in 1877 and it has been since kept
| up.
! Following the precedents observed upon
former occasions, the Uellers having ascer-
/ tanned that the certificates were in due
form and properly authenticated, omitted
the executive certificate of the ascertain
meht Of the electors appointed and the
preliminary formal statement of the pro
ceedings of the college, and proceeded
rapidly with the reading and ascertain
ment of the result.
] After the last certificate had been read
and the results footed up, the vice-presi-
dent made the customary announcement
that under the law this was sufficient
declaration that Grover Cleveland, of the
State of New York, was elected President
of the United States, and that Adlai Il.
Stevenson was elected Vice-President OF
the United States, each for the term be
ginning March 4, 1898, and that
this result would be entered to-
gether with list of the votes on
the journals of the Senate aud House
| OF Representatives.

BRISBANE, Feb. 9.-The water is still
falling slowly, The ruin and desolation
revealed as the flood abates is beyon d
anything caused by the last great food
in January, 1890, The suburbs of the
city have been almost annihilated,
South of the river the city is still COM

In the higher parts of the city from
which the water is receding many build
ings have collapsed and most of the
others are damaged beyond all hope of
repair.
The loss in Queen street on which
stand the government offices, postoiIice,
principal banks, newspaper buildings,
and the opera house, has been enormous
The principal towns have suffered as
severely as has Brisbane. Every hour

swept away.
The loss of life has been very heavy,
but no approximate estimate of the mum
