SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-The nego-

that there is nothing particularly alarm

due to the fact that American gold is
wanted abroad for the purchase of the

New Means of Coast Defense.

Uncle Sam possesses one cannon the
outside Of which is believed to be more
formidable than the inside. 1t is IL
inch gun mounted on the ramparts of
the fort at Willet's Point, N. Y, but
around it has been wound 13 miles Of
one-half inch insulated telegraph cable.
By means of this coil and a dynamo the
big gun has been transformed into the
most powerful electromagnetic in the
world. This unique instrument was
born of mere experiment within of
Colonel w. r. King of the United
States engineer corps, but an astonish-
ing new feature in our coast defense
seems about to be evolved from this re-
markable combination. This magnetic
cd gun, it has been discovered, will de-
range ships compass at distance of
six miles from the fort. Future devel-
opments of this chance born principle
may yet evolve valuable adjunct to
the coast forts i'll the perfection of an
electro magnet which III eventually
prevent the possibility OF naval sur
prise under the cover Of fog or of dark
ness. Philadelphia Record.

The prevailing European estimate Of
De Lesseps, whose death is widely dis
cussed by the press, is probably accd-
rately summarized by the concluding
sentences in the London Times:
public opinion, which has alter
nately regarded him as an impostor OF
as brilliant engineer, as a consum-
mate financier or as a heartless swim
dler, will probably finally settle down
to this appreciation Of the originator
of the Suez canal. He was neither o
financier nor an engineer, neither an
impostor nor swindler. He was man
of great originality, of indomitable per-
severance, Of boundless faith in himself
and OF singular powers of fascination
over others. -

A Rare Vegetable.

In closing his ground the truff1er is
guided by the time Of year, the charac-
ter of the soil and his own Judgment
and experience, says London journal.
On familiar beats he knows exactly
where to go, and in strange country is
guided by certain general principles.
Where fern and braoken grow, where
furze is plentiful, where there are reeds
and rushes, wherever the land is moist
and sour it is hopeless to expect truf-
f1es. They love light soil and yet
never attain any size or perfection on a
poor one. By far the greatest quantity
are obtained under the shadow Of beech
trees, but very fine specimens are often
found under the cedar, especially in av-
enues and grounds where the land has
been we'll trenched. The lime is another
good tree for them, and SO is the ever
green oak. In France the oak is their
favorite tree. Early in the season--that
is to say, in September and October
quantities are to be obtained on the
roadsides sometimes in ground SO hard
it would need pickax to open it, on
railway entertainments and on the out
sides of copses and covers Later, when
leaves have fallen and the sun is able
to penetrate glade and thicket, the in
side beds are most productive. They do
not come under very young trees and
disappear entirely from old woods.

The Gentry of Colonial Maryland.

The gentry of colonial Maryland, I'M
der the rule of the earlier Calverts, liv-
ed on the great plantations in dwellings
that were accessible by water. Tho bay
and rivers were almost their only high
ways, and the obliterated little thorp
of st. Mary's, founded on the site of an
Indian village whereof the memory is
dear to every son of the soil, was their
only city. At home they sat on stools
and forms and dined without forks,
cutting their meat with their rapiers.
But their walls were wainscoted and
their chambers comfortably bedded. Tea
and coffee they rarely tasted, and sugar
was luxury, but sack and cider and
punch flowed freely.
Witness the facetious instructions of
Governor Calvert to Colonel Price to
bring certain articles to Fort st. Inigoe's
for the use of the soldiers: "And upon
motion Of sack the said governor bade
him bring sack, if he found any" In
the early records of the province there
is more sack than Falstaff's drawer ever
scored. The colonial gentry dispensed
ardent spirits at funerals and clinled
the sack cup at christenings, and they
affected signet rings with their leather
breeches and boot hose. Cattle stealing
was not in fashion. Only sheriff of
Kent was once charged with that otfense,
while governor of Virginia was con-
victed. Neither was there ever an exc
cution for witchcraft in the province of
Maryland. told Maryland Homes and

tiow the Prince of Wales Wet DlEEketcd
Proposed Demonstration.
The Prince of Wales, after four weeks
wandering, returned home from Russia
looking, for him, very lean, but withal
hale and it, as is his customary appear
ance. There had been some preliminary
talk of giving him great popular well
come, such as that accorded to Lords
Beaconsfieid and Salisbury when they
returned from the Berlin conference
bringing with them, as the former dra
matically declared, Peace with honor.
1t was suggested that the prince per-
formed a service to the country equally
great by bringing about good under
standing between England and Russia.
Strange to gay, the Tory newspapers,
from the great Times downward, ap-
plauded this silly idea, and clubland
set about organizing demonstration.
The prince heard nothing of this I'M
til he reached Paris on the way home.
Then he telegraphed to London express
ing his annoyance at the scheme,
which was not only INDIGENOUS in view
of the sad duties from which he was re-
turning, but imputed to him an inter
ference with the ordinary course Of d.
plomacy that was at variance with his
inclinations and destructive of that po-
sition of neutrality as heir to the throne
which he has always sought to main
tain, like the tactful man Of the world
which he undoubtedly is. Word was
therefore sent round, with the result
that his wishes were respected as far as
a demonstration within the railway sta
ton by the aristocracy was concerned.
There wero plenty of notables present,
but not more than dozen persons were
allowed on the reserved platform, and
all contented themselves with bowling
profoundly as the prince entered his
closed carriage. A pretty big crowd,
mainly bourgeoisie, had collected outside
the station, and there was a good deal
of cheering, but as demonstration it
was failure, as it deserved to be. The
Prince of Wales is too sensible a man
to desire that sort of thing, for he knows
it is calculated to provoke counter dis
plays and make him an object of con-
tention among rival parties and con-
fiicting factions. London Cor. New

A CANVASBACK DUDE.
He Startled the London West Enders, but
Won His Wager.

Won His Wager.
Considerable sensation was created
in the west end of London recently by a
newspaper vender, attired in most ex-
traordinary suit of canvas held together
entirely by safety pins, who frequented
the most important thoroughfares for
the greater part of the day. A close
scrutiny revealed glimpse of snowy
shirt front not altogether concealed by
the strange canvas suit and fingers load
ed with handsome rings not usually
found on the general run of news vend-
ers, while he delivered the contents of
his bill with most aristocratio drawl.
1t appears that party of "Johnnies"
were assembled together in the Cafe
Monico few days since, and a discus
sion arose between them as to the sale
of papers in the streets, one gilded youth
asserting that he would, for wager of
$50, sell a certain number OF papers
in a certain time under certain condi-
lions, which was Immediately snapped
up by one of his companions, with the
result that the youth appeared in the
streets under the circumstances related
above.
He was closely attended wherever he
went by large crowd and was the sub
ject Of numerous irreverent remarks
from the legitimate paper sellers, who
could not make it out at all. The affair
caused much amusement, especially
when this most extraordinary news
vender adjourned to the Cafe Monico
for refreshment, his entry causing
great diversion among all assembled in
that establishment. The wager was
completed and won at 930 in the even

Ears.

"l don't know whether there is any
such science as aurology," said young
lady of observation, 'but find it very
safe and useful thing to take note of
my friends ears I haven't yet got so
far in my studies as to formulate fixed
set of rules for the reading of character
by the size, shape and convolutions of
these funny little head handles of ours
in fact, my studies have been directed
to one point, the top or apex of the
ear. There's whole world of telltale
indications there, and it would be a
good thing if young girls were to form
the habit of casting a glance at that
part of the anatomy of their callers and
admirers and make a mental note for
their own guidance by what they see
there.
eff the top of the ear lies close to the
head and the ridge is straight or only
gently rounded, the young man that
owns that kind Of ear may be counted
on as being eminently proper and as
harmless as a lamb. But if the top
starts away from the head at well de-
fined angle and runs up to point be-
fore turning down to become the back
ridge of the ear--well, that young man
had better be kept at good safe dis
lance. That's the faun ear, the satyr
ear, and when those wise old Greeks and
Romans gave to the capering compan-
ions of the nymphs of the woods goat
legs and goat ears they knew what they
were about. Men haven't changed one
whit either, and that point to the ear is
