Nj. Flournoy Of Geneva recently devised
a novel experiment for testing tho limits OF
human intelligence. He arranged series
of common articles OF all sizes and request
cd his class TO pat them in order OF weight.
The weight Of all was really exactly the
same, but only one student discovered this
fact. The majority placed a small leadeu
weight first and large wooden basin last.
The ordinary mind apparently ranges the
weight Of objects In inverse proportion to
their size. Only when the eyes are shut
does true appreciation become possible,

Army and Navy Officers. Outfits.

An army officers outfit is expensive.
The army outfit costs at the very lowest
$3.50. Very few officers would be satisfied
with $3.50 outfit. 1t is made of cheap
cloth, poorly finished 1t is Regulation, s"
and the commanding officer would have
to pass it. But an officer would feel very
mean in one of these outfits at an official
reception. From $3.50 the cost of the outfit
ranges up to $3.50. Most of the difference is
in the cost of the material of the uniform.
A naval officers outfit costs even more.
At the navy department they say that in
round numbers "good" outfit will cost
$3.50. There are ,410 officers in the navy
on the active list. II the navy depart
ment took notion to alter the character
of the uniform and equipment of its Off
GERS so radically that the present outfit
would be useless, it would cost 1864, 500
to make the change. All of this would
come out of the pockets of the officers
themselves. 1t is very well to make Off
GERS pay for their own outfits, but they
cannot see the justice of paying for changes
which depend on the whims of a superior
officer and which benefit no one but Uncle
Sam.-Washington Star.

is ON two inch scale, with 100 foot con-

about $4,000, Of which the geological
survey bore half, and the state of Con-

patrons are averse 10 showing their feel

MRS. HENRY E. PERRINE.
She Is Distinguished as the First Mother
in-law of the Land.

Since the marriage of the widow of Os-
car Folsom to Henry f. Perrine Of Buffalo
in 1889 the public has heard very little
concerning President Cleveland's mother
in-law. She has attracted considerable at
tention of late, however, owing to her in
terest in the settlement of long litigated
Nebraska estate that was acquired by Ben
jamin r. Folsom, brother of Mrs. Cleve-
lands grandfather, one of the original
founders of Omaha and in 1855 member
of the first Nebraska legislature. Certain
uncomplimentary insinuations have been
made concerning Benjamin r. Folsom,
and as Mrs. Cleveland is one of his heirs
1t is said Mrs. Perrine went to Omaha re-
Gently to sift the matter to the bottom and
clear the Folsom name of the charges.
Mrs. Perrine was Mrs. Oscar Folsom
when her daughter Miss Frances Folsom,
became Mrs. Grover Cleveland. Her hus-
band was Mr. Cleveland's law partner and
was killed in runaway accident in 1879.
For some time before her second marriage
she resided with her daughter in Washing
ton and was very popular in the society of
the capital. Although well along in years,
she is still a handsome woman, with a
dignity and grace that make her con-

MIN mayor, the only political office he has
ever helh In 1886 he was appointed chief
engineer OF the Joliet and Chicago road,
out OF which the Chicago and Alton grew
eventually. lie was elected president Of
the road in 1861, and three years later
when the road became part of the Alton
system, he was made president of the new
company. At that time the road possess

1000 miles.
MIR. Blackstone soon demonstrated that
he was very wide awake and progressive

sleeper ever constructed was made from an
Alton coach, and the Alton was the first
road to run dining cars. The road has
been so well managed that it always pays
its per cent dividend, and its bonded in
debtedness Is steadily reduced. Mr.. Black
stone owns controlling interest in the
stock, and although he has received many
fiattering offers he has always refused to
sell except under the condition that the
purchasers guarantee to deal with the hold
ers of single shares as literally as they deal
with him. Every share or none is his
motto, and the road has thus been kept
free from the Vaccinations of wreckers.

TIE Frcnohman Allowing His Dislike OF
England to Annoy Americans.


England to Annoy Americans.
French hostility 10 England has been
unusually violent for some months past,
and the English in Paris complain that
they are made aware of it in ways that
offend them or even render their stay
there unpleasant. This is something in
which we are not concerned. For an
other reason, however, II Is our duty 10
give the Parisians warning. Life in
Paris has been made disagreeable TO some
Americans Of late because the anti-Eng-
lish Frenchmen have failed 10 draw the
line between Englishmen and Ameri-
cans, and as Americans speak the Eng
lish language have assumed that they
were English and have acted according
". This will not do.
We tell these shoulder Struggling and
mustache twisting Parisians that they
had better look out when they are in tho
presence Of Americans. Americans vial
not tolerate their plague. They can't
treat young Brother Jonathan as If he
were old John Bull. They must be re-
spectful toward Americans in France If
they want 10 get the money of American
tourists. Americans are a self asserting
people, not destitute Of patriotic pride,
not 80 patient as Job, not at all arrogant
or i'll tempered, yet conscious Of their
inyiolable Americanism. They have
grown beyond dueling, but it is not safe
10 act toward them as If they were of
timid disposition. True, they speak the
English language, but they can't help
that, and we may say that they like it.
There were $500 Americans living
permanently in Paris three months ago,
when the census Of foreign residents was
taken, and hundreds Of American tour
lists visit the city every week of the year.
These Americans spend lots of money in
Paris. II is possible that they spend
20,00O,000 francs there every year, and
this sum is but small part of the ag-
gregate amount which Parisians draw
from Americans annually. Let the
shoulder shruggers think of this when
they see an American dressed in French
clothes and Smelling out his dollars for
their enrichment.
The Americans like France well, and
they give proof of their liking for her.
They appreciate the good qualities of the
French and give them full credit for all
their merits. II is to be regretted that
there are some coxcombs among the
French, mostly in Paris.
The craziest thing that NJ. Crapaud
can do is to confound Brother Jonathan
with John Bull.-New York Sun.

BokNETS AND CIGARS.
surs Relief fer the MaR Whose Wife Buys
 CfRnrs fer Him.

When lovely woman stoops to folly and sets out to buy her husbands cigars for him one of two things is reasonably sure to happen, says the New York Press. If the unfortunate head of the household is of choleric temperament he uses language and pitches the offending weeds out of the window. This naturally gives pain tc their innocent purchaser. and is ex. tremely likely to bring about family hurricane, with a plentiful shower of tears If the victim of his wife's good intentions is suave and diplomat he says nothing, but adroitly substitutes 8 box of cigars of his own choosing for the gift which was meant to add to the comforts of home, and generously pre- sents the first box to the Italian boot black around the corner. This is un. doubtedly the better method of the two, but it has the serious disadvan. tage of encouraging the misguided wife to repeat the experiment which apparently worked so we'll This is apt to be trying to the patience even of a patient husband. Besides it is very hard on the bootblack.
 Assuredly some method should be adopted to prevent occurrences so re- grettsble. Since argument in such cases would in all human probability be utterly useless, we venture to sug- gest another remedy. When mans wife inflicts on him the gift of box of cigars let him accept them smilingly. remembering the bootblsck around the corner. Then let him reciprocate by going out and purchasing his wife a bonnet approved solely by his own masculine judgment. The cure may seem trifle expensive, but it will work. The woman does not exist who would not take the hint. For the bon net chosen by & man without reference to his wifc's tastes is certain to be ns acceptable as tho cigars which the wife buys for her husband.

THE WEIGHT OF A TON.
Attorney Thomas, of Washington, En
 liehtens the District.

Attorney Thomas, of Washington, En-
 liGhtens the District.
 In the last district appropriation bill there appeared an item allowing 5c cents per ton for the removal of gar bage in steel tanks, says the Washing ton Star. Shortly after the law went into operation question arose as to what number of pounds constituted a ton. The contractors claimed that 2,0O0 pounds was the legal ton and made returns on that basis. The first auditor, however, was not disposed to pass the account until the commission CTS explained the definition of the word ton"
 Attorney Thomas was called upon to give his opinion of the matter and re- turned the papers with the following opinion:
 ''The act does not specify the num- Der of pounds which shall compose g ton and hence we must go outside for definition. Among other definitions of the word ton given by Webster is the following: The weight of twenty hundred gross or 3,240 pounds. In the United States the ton is commonly esti. mated at 2,0O0 pounds; this is some times called the short ton.' The law in relation to the collection of duties on imports prescribes that whenever the word ton is used in reference to weighing bulky articles in custom houses, it shall be construed to mean twenty hundred weight, each hundred weight being 113 pounds avoirdupois, but this section throws no light on the question. since but for the statute 2,000 pounds might have been consid- cred by custom-house officials as ton. Nor would there seem to be any prac- tice in the district amounting to usage, since by an ordinance of the late cor poration of Washington in regard to the sale of coal, 2,24O pounds is fixed as Q ton, while section 1,190 of the dis. trict revised statutes makes 2,0OO pounds of hay or straw ton. In the absence of a definition of the word ton in the act of March 8, 1893, no special importance is to be attached to section 2,951 of the revised statutes, in regard to the collection of duties, making 2,240 pou nds ton, as showing what congress intended by the use of that word in the net of March 8. 1898 For these reasons my opinion is that 2,0O0 pounds is to be taken as ton in weighing garbage under the act O.! ISQ3."
