The Only Difference.

The people of Wyoming, who permit
women to vote, according to Harper's
Bazaar, are apparently not in sympathy
with the English bachelor of long ago,
who got himself into q controversy on
the subject of women's rights with his
vis-a-vis at dinner. After PRONG and
coming for few minutes, the lady
asked: "Candidly, sir, why do you OPP
pose giving the franchise TO wom-
emp" "You will excuse me for
saying IL, madam" he replied, "but I
have not sufficient confidence In their
capacity to conduct government af-
fairs" "But what evidence of woman's
mental inferiority to men can you ad-
vance?" persisted the lady. The bach
elor thought moment, and then an
swered, slowly: "a simple fact is
enough to satisfy my mind. and that is
the frightful way in which they do up
their back hair" He might have added
that until men went around with one
hand holding up a trousers leg, the
sexes were mentally unequal.

PUNISHMENT FOR A KING.
The Little Spanish Ruler Is Laid Across
His Mothers Knee.

The Little Spanish Ruler Is Laid Across
His Mothers Knee.
The king of Spain is more or less
naughty boy, and he does not always
treat his subjects with that gracious
courtesy which is expected from mon
archs in these times. The other day,
says Harper's Young People, when he
was driving with his nurse, the boy
king is said to have put out his tongue
at the world in general, and the resi-
dents of Madrid in particular. The
editor of republican newspaper there
upon proceeded to make political cap
ital out of the event, and drew a moral
that kings are not needed in this age.
When the news of the kings behavior
reached Queen Christina through the
newspapers, it is said that she first
lectured her son on his duties and re-
sponsibilitles, and then laying him
across her royal knee administered a
vigorous spanking. This may not be
the touch that makes the whole world
kin, but great many little American
democrats will know hereafter how to
sympathize with this son of royalty.

CHINESE FOOD NOVELTIES.
Luxuries Which Must Be Ranked rs Ac'
CURED Tastes.

Luxuries Which Must Be Ranked rs Ac-
CURED Tastes.
Nowhere have such rare tastes in food
been developed as among the Romans
In ancient times and the Chinese. There
may be found in the bills of fare of the
latter people added eggs, fat grubs,
caterpillars, sharks fins. rats, dogs, In
dian birds nests, and-the finest of all
their MISUNDERSTANDING. What is ire
pang?
Trepang, or tripang, is, according to
Popular Science Monthly, a collective
name by which a considerable number
are designated; they are also known as
sea rollers, sea cucumber, in French as
cornichons de mef, and scientifically as
holothurias. They are among the most
sluggish of animals. Only the fixed or
stationary animals arc slower than the
holothurias. They lie like gray, brown
or black leather pipes or cylinders on
the bottom of the sea. One might watch
them half a day long, if he had nothing
better to do, and hardly see them
change their position, and they rarely
move more than n foot or two in several
hours. Their class relatives, the spiny
skinned animals, or echinoderms, are
much more active. A sea urchin or
starfish is able to get away from spot
quite nimbly, and the serpent stars, the
most active members of the whole or
der, are capable of using their long,
slender, many jointed arms as legs and
are as quick and alert as crabs.

STORIES OF HISTORIC DOGS.
Four-Feoted Soldiers which Fought In
Many Old World Wars.

Four-Fsoted Soldiers which Fought In
Many Old World Wars.
A French paper has published roll
OF honor of celebrated dogs which have
distinguished themselves in war. This
is not inappropriate, considering that
the dog has been pressed into military
service For instance, there was Bob,
the mastiff of the Grenadier guards,
which made the Crimean campaign
with that gallant corps; and also White
paw, "Patte Blanche" a brave French
ally of Bob, that made the same cam
paign with the One Hundred and Six
teenth of the line, and was wounded In
defending the flag. Another, Moustache,
was entered on the strength Of his regi-
ment as entitled to grenadier's ra-
tions. The barber of his company had
orders to clip and comb him once
week. This gallant animal received
bayonet trust at Marenga and re-
covered flag at Austerlitz. Marshal
Lannes had Moustache decorated with
a medal attached to his neck by a red
ribbon. Corps de Garde, Norvel
among dogs, followed soldier to Ma
rengo, was wounded at Austerlitz and
persisted in the retreat from Russia.
The Sixth of the guard had military
mastiff named Misere, which wore three
white stripes sewn on his black hair.
We have also to name Pompon, of the
Forty-eighth Bedouins, the best sentry
of the baggage train; Loutoute, Cri-
mean heroine. Mittrailli, killed at
Inkerman by shell; Moffino, that
saved his master in Russia, and was
lost or lost himself, but found his way
going from Moscow to Milan, his first
dwelling place. The most remarkable,
however, was the last, an English har-
rier named Mustapha, which went into
action with his English comrades at
Fontenoy and, we are seriously told,
remained alone by field piece of the
gunner, his master, clapped the match
to the touch-hole Of the cannon and
thus killed seventy soldiers" and it is
further added that Mustapha was pre-
sented to King George III. and rewarded
with pension alimentam.

An Old and Big Turtle.

When Mauritius was coded to Great
Britain, In 1910, there was a gigantic
turtle in court of the artillery bar
racks at Port Louis, which is there still,
although almost blind. It weighs, ac-
cording to French observer, $50 lxilo-
grammes and measures 2.59 meters
(eight and one-half feet) across the car
apace. It's height from the ground to
the top of the carapace, when II walks,
is about 0.s3 meters (about two feet).
It is believed to be 200 years old at least;
nevertheless 1t carries two men on its
back with ease.

THE CANDIDATE.


TRANSLATED FROM THE CHINESE.
When from out the sere and yellow
Leaves of Autumn, comes fall weather.
Weather with frosty foam on
Weather filed with golden grain sheaves-
Sheaves OF plenty and Of harvest,
Then come joyful days and sunshine,
Sunshine with gilt edge 1t,
Glorious sunshine one can sit in,
Wishing it could last forever.
Then biennially creeping,
Creeping from his long confinement,
Comes the candidate so frequent.
Bald of head, perhaps, and bearded
Bearded like bard or prelate
And with stomach most prodigious
From his long and weary fasting,
Beams upon the lonely voter
In his bailwiclk, in his hamlet
Voter he has seen nor cared for
Not since last he ran for office,
Then, he shakes him by the fingers,
Smiling happy, smiles upon him
:, Smiles he has been won't to retail.
His constituency rants
II For four dollars and quarter,
In JOD lOtS u trlne lOWer.-
Now he scatters them free gratis,
Heaps the measure in his lavish
effort to placste the voter.
Who, indeed, he must smooth over
With drink, perhaps, or 'two for
Which he carries in his pocket.
Then, If necessary, he
Plaster slowly takes from of his

Voter, where shin-plasters long have
:. Held goodly reputation.
So he fits from rose to sunflow'r,
= Always happy as hornet,
4 Dropping honey where most reeded
- and shin-plaster more rarely.
For uncertainty still fingers
IN the minds of idle voters
Till the evening of election.
Then he throws his coat and hat off.
Lights q twenty cent Havana,
kicks the ancient household cat out
And in dressing gown and slippers
Waits returns from divers precincts.
Sure they come but rather slowly.
= And he waits and watches careful
= Till the question is decided.
Then no matter what the outcome
Forth he steps in manner jaunty,
= Faces his constituency.

Wards Words.

Apropos OF the recent tragedy at Corunna
1T is curious to note the differences Of opin-
ion and the reasons given for the same.
One thing seems to be patent however, viz,
that the matter hinged on the laxity of our
laws. 1t has been stated-and presume 1t
is true-that In the entire Chinese empire,
which contains more area of square miles
than the United States, Great Britain,
France, Germany and Spain combined, with
IA population of over 425,000,000. equaling
20 living souls to every square mile, there
zare fewer murders annually than there are
sin the state of New York. They are
spagans, however, and we send missionaries
ITO convert them.
One slight difference exists In the punish
%ment of murderers there, however, from our
Gown. There, we'll convicted homicide is
mot only killed but they kill the parents and
sin fact the entire family because, they
ARGUE, that ''blood will tell" and so they
wipe them all out with the bosom of COM
Yplete and everlasting destruction. This
statement comes from missionary who has
lived there. The 'heathen Chinee" better
send over missionaries to this land of the
free, and stop this universal slaughter that
is going on.
How long do you suppose the high-bind-
.ers of San Francisco could live in China?
Shortly after the first murder committed by
them. there wouldn't be high-binder nor a
arelative of one in all the empire, and still If
they are over molested here, some tender
footed phlanthropist would ''shriek in
thunder tones" as local sheet wildly re-
corded the sound of the voices of the mob
zthe other night.
The legislature, however, didn't seem to
see it that way worth cent, especially Tom
tBarkworth-a cent. he raved like bantam
rooster and after writing wrathy resigna-
: ton, tied string to it apparently. But
. they are all honorable men, and still will
> give 500 to any man who will show me a
ebill they passed-barring the highway bill
and few appropriations. not all of them by
any means, and the act Of adjournment,
which was best of all-that is commendable
There is day coming, however, when
these men will claw their hair for renomina-
-tion and then people will again be reminded
