Gals are inclined to the opinion that
these twin reactionary influences
will make short work of his enthusi-
astic adhesion to democratic ideals.
The extremists, on the other hand,
claim that the new President will
lift France to the highest place
among nations.
Jean Casimir- Perier comes from a
most illustriouS family. He is both
son and grandson of distinguished
statesmen. He was born in Paris in
1877, and is consequently a young
man in the prime OF manhood. 1t
may be doubted If any other living
Frenchman, except the venerable
Jules Simon, is better fitted by in
innate personal knowledge and act
ual participation in affairs of state
to be the administrative head of the
republic. 1t is said that he wishes
to even eclipse his illustriOus grand

England's new baby prince has d

covered with rich white satin, having
ove it a tilmy yelling of fine hOnitoD

rockers.
There is an inscription on a silver
plate giving the history Of this inter
esting item in the outfit. 1t reads
as follows: This bassinet was made
for Princess Victoria Royal in 1876
and was used by all her ma 'esty's
children and Was given by the queen
to the Duchess of York in 1894"

A Lively BurrO.

Next to a cat there is nothing 50
tough and tenacious of life as a Rocky
Mountain burrO, and some Of the
tales told about this little animal are
marvellous. One day as the express
train was running into Santa Fe, N.
NJ, the engineer spied a ,urro walk
ing on the track. He whistled and
slowed up, but the burro ignored all
signals, and in consequence was
knocked about thirty feet ahead OF
the train. One hoof still lay on the
track, and the engineer, coming to a
stop, got out with his fireman tc
push the carcass into the ditch. Each
seized a ley, but before they could
heave the burrow scrambled to his
feet. planted a couple Of kicks on the
two men,, jumped the ditch and was
off. On the next trip the burrO was
seen, a little stiff in one leg, but
otherwise uninjure1.

The Cow Did the Work,

In a little Mexican town on the
south bank of the Rio GranIe there
is a good-siZed church with a fiat roof.
A large number OF cactus seed had
lodged in the dirt on the roof, and in
the course of time there was quite IA
crop Of cactus up there. Now it is
the custom in Mexico when they
want to destroy cactus to first burn
off the thOrns, and then the cattle
will eat the plant. The people be.
came tired Of seeing the plants on
the church roof and he'd a town
meeting to deliberate. Finally Il
man climbed up to the roof and in
two days had burned off all the
thorns from the stalks. Next a cow
was hoisted to the roof, and in less
than a week the cactus was all eaten
and the COW was lowered to the
earth again. The people were de-
lighted with the result and now point
with pride to their church.

Facts as to Curve Pitching.

There are some people still left who

that a ball can be curved" by a now
well-known experiment.
Two stakes are set up so that the
pitcher standing behind one cannot
hit a mark On the left side of the
other in a straight line, the ball
passing to the right OF the first. In

Japanese Statistics.

From the New York Tribune.
Japan publishes periodically what may be
called q blue book. e,nbodying the statis-
tics of the empire. and showing its pro-
gress in population, commerce, manufac-
lures, education and other directions. That
for the year 1872, just issued, is full Of
interesting information, and exhibits graf
flying evidence of the prosperity of the
country since it's adoption of western
usages In government and administration
The population of the islands is a little
over 4l,UOOWD. the gain since 1882 being
100000. There are Ill towns having
from 10000 to 10000 Inhabitants; thirty-six
over 100000. and three. Toxic. Osaka and
kioto, which have over 100000. The sta
tisticS of emigration show that the largest
number OF the expatriated go to the Sand
United States. But the outflowing volume
of the population is not large, only about
10000 for the year mentioned, showing a
moderate increase over preceding years.
The whole number of japanese resident
abroad is little less than 10000; exports
increased three-foId in the ten years pre-
ceding 1892. in which year they were a
trifie less than SlOO.OOO,UOO, and imports

than any other ration buys. our bills In

of her trade. condition which may be
changed as time goes on. Under its new
treaty with England the country is en-
powered to levy duties on imports accord
ing to the need of revenue. a right denied
under old conventions entered into when
Japan was new to western ways and did
not well know what she was doing. They
restricted her import duty to ) per cent
ad valorem on British goods, and practi-
cally on all her imports. This was a most
burdensome and injurious provision, and
with it's removal and the settlement of
the present difficulty with China the coun-
try should enter upon a career OF enlarged
prosperity, the example of which may i'm
pei her inert and drowsy neighbor with
whom she is now battling to a like course
of liberality in fostering spirit of COM
munity and reciprocity with other nations.

TELEPHONING UNDER THE SEA.
Capt. Schley Much Interested I'm the
Experiment About TO BE Tried

The lighthouse beard has sent out notice
that during September and October certain
electrical experiments will be conducted by
the board in the vicinity of the Scotland
lightship of Sandy Hook. Submarine ca
bles will be laid in close proximity to the
lightship, and the position of this cable will
be marked by wooden buoys. Masters OF
vessels are requested not to anchor within
LOCO feet of II csc buoys.
Capt VS.. Schley of the lighthouse board.
says the New York Sun recently, was asked
what these electrical experiments were to
be.
"Oh, just a little experiment we are going
to make in a week or so with a submerged
telephone. Little idea OF Prof. L. Blake's OF
the Kansas University, you know. IL is a
wonder. Simply a wonderful idea. Oh. if il
only works."
The captain rubbed his hands together
and smiled delightedly. When asked to ex-
plain the character of this new submerged
telephone the captain only shook his head
and smiled.
Cant tell you that until We have finished
the experiment. my friends, Prof Blake has
sent TO Washington to get this little thing
of his patented. And The government is de-
fraying the expense of this trial. Oh, but
II II will only work. It's & wonder"
1t was plain that Capt. Sch,ey was deeply
interested i'm the coming experiment.
THE trial Will be made just as soon as
we can get vessel to lay the cable for us IS
he said. Il should think in a week or so
Come around then and 1 will tell You all
about it,"
