formation that the calling Of a cabi-
net council has no connection what
ever with the meeting of the French
cabinet The relations between
Great Britain and France have
certainly been strained during
the past six months Since the
attacks of the French press on
the Marquis Of Dufferin, the British
Ambassador at Paris numerous
colonial questions have also given
rise to friction although the govern
ment ministers would be glad to seize
upon an occasion to discuss these mat
tiers, the cabinet would not have been
summoned but for the dangerous APP
pearance of the situation in China.
The marquis Of Dufferin is still in the

There Are But Twenty Officials Now In
the Field.
WASHINGTON, Oct f-=The fraud di-
vision of the general land office has
become very small affair, com pared
to it's Importance a few years ago
This year there is appropriated but
$50, 600 for the main tenance Of special
agents, while a few years ago the
appropriations amounted to $500, 600
and $500, 900, and even more. Now
there are but twenty special agents
in the field and twelve of them will
be dismissed in Move m Der, while q
few years ago there were armies Of
them in the Western states.
There was general revu1siOn
against the methods of special agents
owing to the trou bIes growing out Of
rigid rules enforced by General
Sparks in the first admins tration of
President Cleveland It made itself
felt in congress, when representa-
tives Of public land states insisted
that the people should be annoyed as
little as possible by these special
agents and cut down the appropria-
tiOns for them. Then there were laws
passed curing many of the errors de-
velOped by the special agents and cur
failing the work they had to do
The land department still insists,
however, that there Is yet great ne
cessity for these agents and Commis-
sioner LamOreaux says that with the
force he has he can not protect the
public lands At present the agents
are looking after swamp lands, tim
Der depredations and fraudulent en-
tries. Owing to their limited force
they are ordered from place to place
frequently and few are allowed to
remain on continuous work or in any
one place for a reat lengt tn of time

New YORK, May 6.-Thomas G. Platt's
visit to ex-President Harrison. Saturday
evening gave politicians something to
talk abous today. But General Harri-

frankly stating the interview did not
relate to politics. Gen. John @. New,
Harrison's old campaign manager,
slipped out oil town tonight and was

before his departure was known.
General Harrison and Benjamin

Fifth Presby terian church. During his
absence, Chairman Joseph Fl. Manley
of the Republican national executive

The Color Of Animals.

There is a connection between the
eolor and character Of animals Al
though much Of the subject is yelled in
considerable cbscurity, AZ a general rule
1t may be stated that vivid, conspicu-
pus coloring accompanies strength, cour-
age and often ferocity. The black or red
hair and the rudoy slcin indicate carbon
or iron somewhat in excess, a sanguine
temperament, rapidity of thought and
action and courage frequently bordering
ON rashpess. In the brute creation it Is
rather character that has modified color
in the coun5e of tie survival of the as,
test. Tho.tigE1id animal, bird or FISH pos

A Tilt Between an Artist and Baroness
Which Promises Good Breeze.
Everybody remembers the portrait I'M
pleasantness between Mrs Maclkay and
the painter Meissonier, but still more
prominent affair is likely to be brought
out in Paris by the suit of framemaker
against society lady whose full name
will soon appear in the trial So far the
Paris papers call her the Baroness dc

Well, this lady has nose, but it
must not for moment be supposed that
1t is like common peoples noses. Not a
bit Of it. 1t is relic of the crusades and
further back even. In word, it is q
classical nose par excellence OF course
the lady is very proud OF this nose, and
that's where all the trouble comes from.
Like Mrs. Macl.ay, she went to lead
ing artist to get her portrait painted.
The bargain was closed at high figure
She gave him several sittings and at
last ordered him to have the picture
framed in gorgeous style and sent to her
residence.

throw myself into the Seine" Then
right away she wrote to the artist the
following foanling epistle:
SIR-Yes or no, did you ever look at my nose?
Do you mean to pretend for q moment that it
Is pointed? The one that you put in this por-
trait would cut the canvas. refuse the pic
ture. Neither judges nor tribunals can oblige
me to admit that my nose is pointed. Try to
retouch this horror if you can, and above all
things don't give me a fiat nose now. am
your servant, etc.
After reading this effervescent piece
of literature the artist at first became
angry. Finally, however, he took page
from his album and sletched lot Of
noses of all shapes and FORMS including
Grecian noses, Roman noses, Roxelane
noses, Bourbon noses, parrot noses, red
noses, warty noses, thin noses, thick
noses, long and short noses, fiat noses
and Behanzin noses with rings in them.
Then he wrote to the baroness this
note:
MADAME-l TOOK pains 10 paint your nose just
as it is, but regret that mistook your inten-
ton. However, since you absolutely want nose
according to your fancy, will you have the
goodness to select one from tho inclosed co...
