AS THE Pole hates the Russian, as
the German hates the Pole, as the
Frenchman hates the German, as the
Spaniard hates the Frenchman, as
the Portuguese hates the Spaniard.
SO, with the increased vehemence OF
family aversions, does the Norwegian
hate his brother, the Swede. Year;
ago Sweden united Norway to itself
on footing highly honorable TO the
smaller country. Ever since then
the terms of the understanding have
been subjects of dispute. Norway
desires to retain the right Of forming
alliances and of declaring war on for
eign powers for it's own parliament.
This would make the suZerainty OF
the Swedish king purely nominal.
The NorWegians are ultra demo.
cratic; the Swedes are aristocratic by
nature and tradition. 1t is only a
question OF time when another col.
lision will come, unless the great
powers, themselves at swords points
with each other, sep in and play

THE thousands OF Chicagoans who
found intellectual enjoyment in ex-
aiming the priceless exhibit Of Pope
Leo in the Convent of La Rabida at
the Worlds Fair will be pleased to
learn that efforts are now being made
to secure many, if not all, the feat
ures of that exhibit for the Column
bian Museum. The willingness OF
the Pope to donate part of the ex-
hibit encouraged the museum direc-
tory to ask for all of it. The ass st.
ance of Cardinal Gibbons has been
enlisted, and already he has be-
gun correspondence with the Pope.
There is no estimating the value,
either financial or educational, of
the Vatican exhibit. 1t was the
most interesting of La Rabida's con-
tents. 1t consists of rare historical
documents pertaining to the discov-
cry Of America, pictures. ancient
tones, etc. For centuries they had
lain in the archives of the Vatican,
and only by courtesy Of the Pope,
whose intense interest in the great
Exposition was manifested in Sc
many ways, were they permitted tc
be removed for public inspection.
Duplicates of several articles are not
to be found in any of the worlds
museums, which makes them more
desirable for the Columbian Museum.
1t is sincerely hoped that the efforts
of the directory, aided by Cardinal
Gibbons, will result in success.

One of the most fashioned

Annapolis was the seat of wealth. re-

it is chiefly important as the site of
the Naval Academy. 1t was former

beautiful bridges, though they are
very antique. From the peculiar
style of architecture it gives to the
stranger the impression of a European

city. The population is small, and

will ever be much larger. The city

nothing to linger over but it's agree

Annapolis, says the Utica Globe,
was settled in 1649 by Puritan
refugees from Virginia, and was at
first called Providence. The next
year the name was changed to Anne
Arundel town, then it was changed
back to Providence, and was not
called Annapolis until about the
time of it's incorporation as city in

THE State of New York has law
requiring examiners to go through
thousands of papers about this time
at Albany, the authors being under
Is. One of the themes on which an
essay was asked was Macbeth. A
paper on this subject was short and
to the point. Macbeth was pro.
nounced a wicked man who had killed
the whole Duffy family. 1t is need
less to say that the writer was q
young tiger who got little ancient
history mussed in a mysterious way
around the lonely figure of a we'll
known political character in New
York, an ornament to the bench, Jus.
tice Duffy. The failure Of New York
to do the right thing about monu'
ments showed in paper on Nathan
Hale. The writer unhesitatingly de-
clared that Nathan had just beer
celebrated by the unfurling of two
monuments. 1t is historical knowl
edge and literary skill like this that
is going to adorn future statesmen OF
New York.

who made it some valuable presents.
After the revolution Maryland offered
to cede Annapolis to the general
government as the federal capital.
During the negotiations for a per-
manent site, it was resolved in 1888
that Congress should meet alternately
at Annapolis and Trenton, the first
session to be held at Annapolis. It
was at this session that Washington
surrendered his commission as com.
mander-in- chief, December %, 1883.
Some Old Landmarks
The Annapolis of to-day is a very
dull and stupid place. Nearly every
body retires at 10 o'clock. and the
most important news is allowed to
keep" till morning. Nothing could
be more monotonous than the daily
current of life. The colored folk
lounge about in the manner of their
race and the white population have
much the same drowsiness, the same
absence of hurry, the almost COM
plete leisure which is met with in the
Latin countries OF the South. Family
pride is very strong, and counts for
more than wealth. The names of
Chase and Brice, of whom Chase
House and Brice House stand as me-

The town might, in fact be almost
forgotten, were it not for the naval
academy, whose officers mingle freely
in society. The Saturday night hops
are among the most enjoyable fea-
lures of the season. The cadet, it is
needless to say, is the AnDapolitan

twaddle. Although largely restricted
to small boys the affection sometimes
clings even after mans estate has
been reached. All the passenger
coaches on the Philadelphia and
Reading Road bear inscriptions which
read passengers must keep off the
platform until the train stops. J"
Many of these, by little ingenious
rubbing, have been made to read:
Passengers must keep off the plat
form until the rain stops" From
the fact that large number of the
signs have been doctored in precisely
the same manner the supposition
naturally is that they have all been
altered by the same person. Here is
a subject for specialist on brain
disorders.

Horace Greeley and His Bride.

"When he was first married and
brought his bride home on visit, y
said an old acquaintance, "a sugar
party was given in their honor on a
neighboring farm. All the guests
had arrived, and we were looking out,
watching for the belated bride and
groom. At last we saw something
appearing in the distance. AS this
same object came nearer we discov-
cred it was the old white horse O.
the Greeleys, slowly picking his way
through the mud. On his back sat
the bride in brilliant yellow frock,
with green velvet belt, and behind
her, wrapped in his famous white
overcoat, sat the editor of the New
York Tribune. It was the funniest
sight L ever saw and set US off in fits
of laughing. | remember" continued
my informant, laughing again at her
recollection, shat [ simply lay down
and rolled upon the floor in spasm
of mirth."

Valuable Waste.

"Refners of nitrate of silver for
the use of photographers" said one
of this profession, "have agents travel
ing constantly about the country
collecting the waste clippings of SEN
sitized paper that accumulate in
every photograph gallery. They buy
all they can find, and pay for it in
new nitrate, allowing the photog-
rapher q good round price for his
waste. The waste is shipped to the
refners, where the nitrate in the
paper is separated from it by chemical
process and prepared for market
again. This refined nitrate is as
good as it was originally, and is sold
for just as much. The refners, OF
course, make big profit out of the
waste, and the photographer is able
to get good supply of material for
the scraps that would otherwise be
Of no use to him. Not only the
scraps of silver sensjtized paper, but
those of the paper treated with
solutions of gold, are eagerly sought
by the refiners, and the photographer
is always very glad to exchange his
accumulation of, to him. worthless
waste for a neat stock of valuable
nitrate. "-Minneapolis Tribune.
