Somewhat EquivOcal.

The unconscious humOr of human na-
ture sometimes shows itself in strange
forms. For instance, news dispatch
published the other day in St. Louis
paper ran as follows:
} ''St. Joseph, Mo, Dec. 9.-The third
annual session of the Northwest Mis-
souri, Press association ended shortly
after IL o'clock this morning, and the
members were driven to State Lunatic
Asylum No. 81
In order that no erroneous impression
might be drawn from its statements the
dispatch went on to explain that the
members of the association went to the
asylum as guests of the superintendent.
Nevertheless the connection of the state
ment that the body had adjourned with
the fact that its members had been
"driven to State Lunatic Asylum No.
2" is humorously but unconsciously
suggestive.-New York Herald.

A Ruined Wedding Cake.

An English gentleman residing in
Calcutta brought an action against
firm of Paris pastry cooks and confec-
TONERS under rather interesting circum-
stances. The plaintiff was about to be
married and ordered what has been call
ed a phenomenal wedding cake from
the defendants. A su4 of S120 was
paid down for the cake on delivery.
The colossal and expensive article of
confectionery was packed by the plain
tiff's order, and he took it with him to
Calcutta. On opening the case contain
ing the cake when he arrived in India,
the Englishman found that he had lit
orally nothing but shapeless mass of
crumbs. The splendid gateau had been
hopelessly bruised and broken during
the voyage.
An action was then brought against
the Paris firm for sum of S135, which
included besides the price paid for the
cake, the cost Of packing and transport.
The defendants maintained before tie
Paris tribunal &, f commerce that they
had no more responsibility after they
had delivered over the cake to the per-
son who ordered 1t. 1t was true that
they recommended a packer, but that
expert acted under the orders Of another
individual, who had been selected by the
plaintiff to superintend the operation.

ENGLAND'S UNEMPLOYED.
Labor Leaders Say That Not Enough Is Be

Labor Leaders Say That Not Enough Is Be
ing Done and Make a Large Proposal.
Labor leaders are complaining that
the government authorization to the To-
cal authorities to spend money upon re-
lief works for the benefit of the unem-
plOyed is not taken advantage of in a
half dozen districts. The result is that
distress is rapidly becoming acute in
most of the large towns, to the great
benefit of the socialist and anarchist
agitators. 1t is difficult TO see what
more the government can do, unless it
go in for state socialism on a gigantic
scale, for which public opinion is not
ripe.
The latest proposal is that the gov
ernment should guarantee loans for, say,
$3.50, 600, 600 to enable the carrying out
of national system of fOreshore recla-
nation all around the coasts. Such
work, wherever undertaken by private
enterprise. has certainly proved profit
able, and it is urged that Holland has
demonstrated its practical and remu-
nerative character as Il government en-
terprise.
There is no reason to doubt that in
the London district alone the reclama-
ton of the foreshOres of the Thames,
from the metropolis to the sea. is per-
fectly feasible, and would provide work
for thousands for many years, be of i'm
mense public benefit, and yield good
return on the outlay, but the govern
ment naturally hesitates to take the first
step in such vast undertaking. ng.-Lon-

Newspaper Advertising.

How much money is spent annually
in newspaper advertising? Probably
any estimate less than $500, 600, 600
would fall short of the facts. Some
single firms have spent as much as
s5OO,O in year. To put out such
enormous sums requires large ma
chinery in and out of the advertisers
offices, and the business-or the art,
as you may choose to consider it-com-
mands the services of men Of a high
order of ability.-John Irving Romer's

Two Convincing Reasons.

Lord Peterborough, who lived in the
reign of Queen Anne, was very frolic
some, and one day seeing from his car
riage a dancing master with pearl col
ored stockings lightly stepping over the
broad stones and picking his way in ex-
tremely dirty weather he alighted and
ran after him with drawn sword in or
der to drive him into the mud, but into
which he of course followed himself.
This nObleman was once taken for the
Duke of Marlborough and was mobbed
in consequence. The duke was then in
disgrace with the people, and Lord Pc
terborough was about to be roughly
handled. Turning to-them, he said:
Gentlemen, L can convince you by
two reasons that am not the Duke of
Marlborough. In the first place, | have
only 5 guineas in my pocket, and in the
second they are heartily at your serv
ice. "-Sala's Journal.

A Terrible New Rifle.

a European correspondent says that
the chief surgeon of the ROumanian
army has been making grewsome exper-
iments with the new Mannlicher rife,
with which the forces are being
equipped. He placed number of human
bodies in rows, like soldiers on the field
of battle. AT 800 meters five bodies were
placed half yard behind each other.
A single bullet went through three bod
les in succession. Upon the soft parts
of the bodies the wounds were perhaps
less serious than those inflicted by the
old fashioned rifles, the hole made by
the bullet being smaller and more even,
but ON the whole the injuries are far
more terrible. The range Of the new
rifles is about miles.
