British editors are of opinion that
the well declared policy of the
Monroe doctrine would keep the
United States from annexing outlying
colonies and islands. But the British
editor takes hold of the Monroe
doctrine wrong end foremost. Boiled
down, the Monroe doctrine is mot to
interfere in the internal concerns of
any OF the powers of Europe" and ''to
regard any attempt on their part to
extend their system to any portion of
this hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety" But if the United
States, for the protection of her com
mercial and naval interests, sees fit
TO annex peaceably a set of islands
that desire to be annexed, or other
wise peaceably extend her power in
places where the pre-existing rights
OF other nations are not interfered
with, it is her own business and that
OF no country in Europe. This is the
Monroe doctrine that is good enough
for us just now.

If you are an able-bodied young
man and want to get a free trip to
Europe to study art or see the coun-
try, you can get it almost any day by
shipping on board of one Of the cat
tie steamers at any of the Atlantic
ports and working your passage over
by helping to feed and take care of
the animals. 1t will probably be
pleasanter to wait till summer before
making the trip. however.

Our exports fell off $32, 100000 last
year as compared with 1891 The
cholera scare in the fall months is
probably the explanation of it. But
it will not be surprising if our food
exports continue to diminish from
this on. This year they will certain
ly be smaller on account of the
Worlds Fair, and after that our popu-
lation will steadily increase toward
the point where we use up our own
food products at home.

An art critic in Harper's Magazine
praises without stint the archi-
tectural effect Of the Worlds Fair
buildings at Chicago. He says there
is only one ''discordant architectural
note" and that is the United States
government building in Jackson park.
He does wish, as it were, that it
might be possible for our govern
ment authorities to employ archi-
tects to plan the public buildings.

In prehistoric times the art was
understood of hardening copper till it
would take an edge like knife, but
it was lost, and men have been trying
for centuries to rediscover it. Edi-
son said once that if copper wire
could be hardened it would be as easy
to telegraph across the Atlantic as
from New York to Brooklyn. Hard
ened copper wire would be better
than anything now in use for all cleo
trlcal operations. 1t would not rust
like iron. Well, a Swede. Peter
Johnson, who has been working at
the problem eleven years, claims at
last that he has rediscovered the lost
art OF the Norsemen and the Ameri-
can aborlgines. a piece of his
hardened copper plate half an inch
thick turned and hattened a bullet
hred with sixty grains of powder at

believe in Johnsons discovery sufi

to it.

NAPOLEON THE FIRST
As He Was Seen at Borodino bv n n.y.,

Still Living.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Major Gov
eral Yakovitch of the Russian ARM,
is one Of the few men now liyino whl
saw the great Napoleon on the hatt1n,
field. The old gentleman saw tho
French emperor at Borodipo, Al
that battle, Yakovitch, then A mara
boy, served with battery in the
grand redoubt which was the centor
OF the Russian line. He gives vivid
description of the battle. Who,
morning broke sea of gray mist shut
out the field from view. The yoicos
Of the enemy were heard, the neioh-
ing of their horses, and the rumblino
Of artillery wheels. Then came tho
thunder of cannon, making the verv
earth tremble. Three times all tho
Russian gunncrs were killed. and
three times new men took thnir
places. Bullets flew as thick as hail
and men dropped dead or manglcd
every moment.
At last strange sound was heard
in the distance like rain pattering on
withered leaves. It grew louder and
louder until it filed the air like the
roar of stormy sea. All at once :,
great wave of bright swords and he'll
NETS and horses heads came surginp
up over the breastworks. It was the
Imperial guard. Before the shock Of
that mighty wave the Russian center
crumbled away shattered wrecks.
When Yakovitch came to his senses
and opened his eyes he saw around
him the corpses of his father and
comrades. Suddenly the trampine Of
hoofs called his attention to a trcon
of gaily dressed officers, and NaDo-
Icons staff came riding over the field.
The young Russian peered anxiously
in their faces. In his graphic Ian
guage:
There were the hard faces of Rspp
and Darn and broad-chested Sebastian
and Nansouty, with the saber scar
across his cheek, and the low, broad
forehead and bulldog jaw of grim old
Ney, the bravest of them ALL There,
too, was Murat, with his white plumes
and his braided jacket, his riding
whip in his hand just like circus
rider. And then the group parted
suddenly and there was the man him
self in the midst of them, with his
face hard and immOvable as marble
amid all that blood and agony, and Il
far away look in those cold gray eyes
of his as if he saw Moscow somewhere
away up in the sky, but could see
nothing between. "A glorious vic
tory cried Murat, waving his hand.
What stir therell be among the
good folks in Paris when the bulletin
arrives: We've lost half our army
in doing it, though growled Ncy.
Hadn't We better fall back a little
and wait there for re-inforcements?'
Then Napoleon turned his head slow
ly, just as a statue might do, and
looked him in the face. Thou ad-

new, indeed. Mono fall

tin from Moscow. As for the army.

when he heard that, knew God had
forsaken Napoleon, for no man save.

spoken so lightly of the slaughter of
thousands Of brave men. In three
months from that day the French
was flying for his life across
the border with the COssacks at his.
