re was His own Grandfathsr.

OF all genealogical curiositles the
ono set forth below Is probably the
oddsst-a singular piece Of reasoning
TO prove that a man may be his own
grandfather! Here IL Is: Thore was
widow (Anne) and her daughter (Jane)
aud man (George) and his son
(Henry). This widow married the
son and the daughter married the
father. The widow, was, therefore,
mother Gn-law) to her husbands
father and grandmother TO her own
husband. By this husband she had
son DAVID, to whom she was, Of
course, great7grandmother. Now, the
son OF great grandmother must be
grandfather or grand ,-Acle to the per
son to whom his mother was or is
great-grandmother; but, in this in
stance, Anne was great-grandmothsr
to him DAVID, therefore David could
not be other than his own grandfather.

1t may not be generally known that
the little seaport town of Wismar, In
the Baltic, is virtually in the same
position as Montague Tiggs' shirt
namely. at the pawnbroker's. II was
in 1903 that Sweden pawned the town
to the duchy Of Mecklenburg for .
round sum OF money. 1t was then
stipulated that the town should be
restored to Sweden at the end Of the
century, providing the sum lent, to-
gether with interest, were paid back
to Mecklenburg.
The sum Is now said TO amount TO
several hundred million marks, and
apparently there Is little chance OF
Wismar being able to pay It at the
date fixed.

The sparrow kept on teasing the crane

big bird took oruel revenge. Pre-
tending to take no notics OF the spar

Some Americans Abroad.

Let an American of certain intellec-
tual grade get taste of English society,
and he is done for. No snob. native IL
that land of snobs, is more exquisitely
thrilled or entirely conquered by a smile
or a handshake from nobleman than is
the American parvenue. If he stays. he
turns Tory, and like that secretary OF
our legation who has the Astors in tow
becomes thoroughly anglicized." Look
at Ashmead-Bartlett. who married his
grandmother, Miss Burdett Coutts. and
went to parliament to vote against the
progress Of democracy.
Look at George w. Smalley. Mr..
Whitelaw Reid's resident correspondent
in London for the New York Tribune.
The man has gone on until he fancies
himself to be fox hunting, hard drink
ing, violent tempered, bluff and hearty
country squire of the olden time. And
he writes like one. See how our men
and women who go abroad push and
cringe and intrigue and squabbIe for
the awful honor of bending their knees
before the dull and virtuous old lady
whom the English people choose to keep
as ruler without power, and who rep
resents only the principle Of hereditary
government which this republic kicked
out of doors 100 years ago and more.
No wonder Englishmen of sense have
only laughter and contempt for our pre-
tensions of superior political wisdom
when this spectacle and others like it in
motive are constantly before their eyes.

Engineers, it is reported that she
replied that while she could not
find it in her heart TO become a

"a great deal of trouble inducing her
to run the engine at the fair, as she
shrank from appearing rs "a sort of

learned her business and upon which
she is now running is known as the
