in Germany and France.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Omaha Bee: Now is the time for
a few more politicians half way
down the road TO oblivion to an
nounce positively that their names
must not be considered in connection
with presidential nomination.
Baltimore American: This years
output of wheels wiz be about $780,
COO, worth $3O,0G0.0OO.. Uncle Sam
will soon have to change those tight
trousers for pair of knickerbockers,
and Columbia win have to try
boomers.
Savannah News; A jury COM
posed of six men and six women
will decide the suit of a man against
woman for breach of promise in
Lancaster, Ky. 1t would probably
be safe to bet on a disagreement and
mistrial.
Kansas City Star: 81 have come
TO America to learn" said Mr.. Keir
Hardie to New York reporter. As
an Englishman who didn't know it
all before he came to this country,
4 Mr.. Hardie will take high rank as
an Interesting curiosity, whatever
may be his qualifications as a states
man.
/ Boston Herald: The census fig
ures show that in ten years 143 towns
in Massachusetts have lost in popula-
ton nearly one-half of the total
number. Forty-three other towns
show-a gain in population during
! the decade of less than 100, or gain
of less than ten persons each year.
Thus nearly two-thirds of the towns
of the state have been practically
standing still or losing ground.
Vanity: London tradesmen have
been reaping golden harvest and
have come to regard the American
traveller as their great and only
safety valve. The Daily Telegraph
estimates that 10000 Americans
have passed through London since
January. Cut the figures down to
100000 and multiply it by $75-this
is a moderate average-and see what
the London tradesmen have put in
their pockets.

Finger Rings Among the Ancients.

The hands of female mummies found in
the tombs of Egypt are literally covered
with rings, in many instances there being
from two to six on every finger. In some
cases these ornaments are composed who'll
ly of gold, but in others, which probably
represent all that is left of some poor
mans wife or daughter, the rings are
brass, glass or pottery ware.
According to Josephus and Herodotus.
the Chaldeans and Persians and the Babv.
lonians were all very fond of rings and
other personal ornaments.-St Louis Re-

a WORD 10

A knowing toad one summers day
Unto fly was heard to say,
"You're pretty sure to find me here
Before this store, year after year,
But. said the fly, sit seems to me
That you demolished soon will be
By people passing in and out,
And ground to dust without doubt"
ooh, smiled the toad, in all things pat,
81 never am afraid of that.
Amid the city's whir and din
To purchase here but few pass in.
The reasons plain, if you but think;
This merchant shunneth printers irlz."
