Origin of "a Story Attributed to Twenty
 Handsome Women.
 Lady Harriet D'Orsay was really, ac cording to MT. Sala, in his reminis cences published recently, the heroine of story which has been told in al least twenty forms of twenty different ladies of fashion. She was presiding at a stall at vente Ge charite, ol bazaar, held in aid of the fund of some asylum or another, when there came up the duke of Orleans, son and heir O. King Louis Philippe. The duke, after some polite small talk, began to extoi the beauty of her hair, and, indeed her Henrietta Marie coiffure had never looked glossier and softer than it did this day.
 'Oh!" said his royal highness, Eff chanting ringletsr'
 How much would monseigneur give for one?" asked Lady Harriet, gravely: five thousand francs?"
 Five thousand francsp repeated the duke; "a mere bagatelle."
 ''Six thousand francs?"
 Anything so charming lady chose to ask"
 ''I will not be extortionate," pursued Lady Harriet; i've will say five thou sand" <
 And then she very composedIy pro duced dainty little pair of scissors, shipped off the adorable Henrietta Maria ringiet. Wrapped it in silver paper and handed it with dignity to the duke. His royal highness looked very straight down his nose, and, re- turning Lady Harrlets salute, stalked somewhat gloomily away. But his privy purse duly forwarded the money next day.-Philadelphia Press.

The fact that about s4OO, GOO, ,0OO is due her annually in interest charges upon British capital placed abroad ex- plains how she can afford to import several hundred million pounds sterling of foreign merch andise in excess of the domestic merchandise which she ex- ports. France is estimated to hold s4,- 0o,003.ooo of foreign securities, largely Italian and Spanish, and she also has been able to show a large balance of imports of merchandise over exports during the last two decades, while pil- ing up in the vaults of the Bank of France and distributing through her monetary circulation larger mass of coin than any other commercial coun- try.

THE ADMISSION BILL.
It Materializes in the Mature of an En.
 abling Act.

When the bill for the admission of Arizona came before the senate com mittee on territories for action there were only six of the eleven members of the committee present. These were Senators Davis, Shoup and Thurston, Republicans, and Call, Bate and White, Democrats There was only one negative vote which was cast by Senator Call.
 The bill is the one introduced by Senator Garter and, like the New Mex ico bill, is an enabling act.
 It provides that the governor shall issue call for an election of delegates to a constitutional convention thirty days after the passage of the act, in which he shall designate the day of election. Delegates are to meet at the seat of government on the second Monday after the election. The con- stitution is to be submitted ito the voters of the territory for ratification or rejection on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May, 1896, and a ballot for representative in congress is also to take place on the same date.

THE LOS ANGELES FIESTA.
A Cordial Invitation to Phoenix Cor
 dially Accepted.

A week ago an invitation was sent by the chamber of commerce of Los Angeles ito it's sister body in Phoenix, extending the warmest of invitations to the Arizonans to visit the great Fiesta de Los Angeles in April.
 In response, on March 20, the fol- lowing letter of acceptance was sent:
 "John J. Francis, Esq, President Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles, Cal:
 Dear Sir-The chamber of com merce of Phoenix thanks you heartily for the invitation to join you in your celebration of La Fiesta de Los An geles.
 "There seems ito be a very general desire here to go inside upon that occasion, and thre will probably be a large delegation.
 Tt is impossible to even approxi- mate the number now, but as soon as feasible you will be informed, and in season, we hope, to enable you to make the necessary increase in your police force.
 ''It is highly probable that all of the delegates will be tagged so that in case any of them become lost they can be easily identified.
 with the hearty wish that Los An geles will come out at the big end of the horn with her magnificent fiesta, permit us to remain, yours very truly, L. H. Goodrich, president; Bruce Per ley, secrHary." -A---=

WEALTH OF THE WORLD.
Great Sum of Foreign Securities Held in
 England and France.


 The reported valuation of all proper ty in the United States by the census of 1890 was s65, ,O37 ,O91, ,197, or s1 ,O3G per capita for the entire population. This enumeration, however, dealt with prop erty in the United States and 0id not go into the question where 1t is owned. If the estimate of Mr. Robert Gi5fan is correct that 35,o00, ,00G,033 in foraign capital was invested in this country in 1880, probably an even larger amount is so invested at the present time. De duction should also be made for the high valao put upon waste public lands in the census, with the net re- suit that the per capita valuation Of the United States would be reduced to about S350, or s4,750 for family of five. Estimates made by careful econ omists, who come pretty near agree ment among themselves, put the valua- tion of Great Britain about nine wears ago ct S50, sea 600, ,000 and that of France at S40, ,000, 90), ,000. This, says the United States Investor, would afford a per capita vGlJiatio of S1,53S for Great Britain and s1,0S1 for France. making the valuation for a family of five s6,6 ,69O in Great Britain and s5,405 in France The figures of France are placed some what higher by some authors, and the total in both countries includes careful estimates of the large holdings of for eign securities, some of them covering property located in the United States.
 The great holdings of foreign securi- ties, estimated to amount in Great Brit ain to about s8,G0G, eco, 600, explain to 8 large extent the adverse bal ance Of foreign trade constantly shown by the British statistics. Great Britain would long ago have been denuded of her gold and become bankrupt if the excess of imports over exports shown by her trade statistics were true

IN THE WRONG PLACE.
Angels Could Never Fly with the Wings
 Where Artists Place Them.


 Where Artists Place Them.
 Did you ever notice flying angel? l do not can the animated article, but the winged and robed creatures you see occasionally in frescos and friezes.
 If so, you have doubtless marked the horizontal and unearthly position of the body.
 The hands are gracefully disposed along the sides, just as if flying were no particular effort, and the feet are trailed straight behind, though no man has ever found out just what holds them there.
 It has been so since the time of Michael Angelo and Raphael, says the New York World. Those old masters were probably among the first offenders against physical possibilities. They frescoed the wall and ceilings of an cient cathedrals with ethereal beings with enormous wings sprouting from their shoulder blades and their feet trailing straight out behind.
 Since then every artistic Tom, Dick and Harry in the world has followed the impossible lines laid down by LII, old painters, and although science has been developed and human ideas have changed greatly since Athens was in it's prime, the absurd form of the ideal an gel has not changed particle.
 Anybody can see at a glance at the pictures that this position in flight is an impossibility. Possibly at speed of q mile second, and with the wings beat ing at the rate of one hundred thou sand times a minute, the position might be maintained.
 The point of support is the shoulder blades. The center of gravity is no where, apparently.
 IL may te possible that painters de. sirc-&o represent an angel doing some thing tiat a human being would find impossible to do. At any rate, they i have done so.
 With the wings at the shoulder ; blades the center of gravity would ex- tend directly downward from the points of support. It is not very graceful, but it is true to science and the law of gray. itation. It will be a long time, howev. CT, before painters consent to paint angels in other than impossible posi- tions.
 Everybody remembers how reluctant artists were to accept the positions o1 running horses developed by the cam era. They were so absurd that it was with difficulty that the negatives could be believed.
 In order to carry the body in a hori- zontal position the wings of an angel should be placed in the small of the back and the vertebra stiffened with a board. Then, perhaps, there would be some sort of an agreement between art and physical possibility.

TEMPERATURE OF SEA DEPTHS.
A Theory Accounting for the COldness of
 the Bottom Of Oceans.

the Botton, Of Oceans.
 The photographers tell us that the law which is constant for the landed portion of the eartil's surface must be inverted for the oceans. The further we descend into the earth's surface crust, says the St. Louis Republic, the higher is the temperatures; on the other hand, the deeper we descend below the natural habitat of the white-cap waves, the lower becomes the temperature of the water. Very recent observation proves that an almost arctic coldness exists over the whole of the deep sea bed, there being no perceptible differ ence in the temperature of the deeper stratas of the Indian and the Arctic oceans. It is a well-known fact that sea water does not freeze as readily as fresh water, and, unlike the latter, it continues to grow heavier until it reaches the freezing point. Thus the effect of the intense cold of the arctic regions is to cause a constant sinking down of the cold surface water, which causes current of most intense cold to flow toward the equator; while to sup ply the place of what sinks down, an indraught or northward flow takes place on the surface. The above is the gen. erally accepted vertical circulation" theory, which explains the cause of the low temperature which prevails at the bottom of the oceans the world over.

PINGREE ON RAILROADS.
Advises Boston People to Establish
Public Ownership.

Boston, Nov. 24-The city Of Boston
has nearly completed a ST. 900 sub
way, designed to accommodate the
trolley cars and relieve the congestion
of the narrow old streets in the down
town district The entire Boston street
railway system is in the hands Of the
West End company. 1t will have TO
occupy the subway
The principal merchants and bust
ness men of the city have organized to
influence the railroad commission to
hold a pubic hearing on the subject of
the lease, fearing that the corporation
may get a valuable franchise for little.
These men have received a character
istic letter from Mayor Pingree of De
troit on the subject He hits straight
out from the shoulder and says:
The city of Boston ought to know
the cost Of construction and mainte-
nance. In short, as a railroad is a
public affair, the public should know to
a cent what it costs to construct and
operate a road. Changes of any kind
should be made public Penalties
should be made part of the franchise
or lease. Never be in haste to make
a lease, or you viii repent it. Do not
allow a company to manufacture pub
lie opinion. A change from slow to
rapid transit is a gain for the com
pany. Every improvement in transit
is q gain to the company as well as
to the public. The company is there
to make money, and properly So and
the city of Boston is at the other end
of the bargain. and it is high time that
cities do business
THE time to do business with rail-
way companies is when they want
something. The great benefits of this
life must be paid for, but the city of
Boston ought to know what they are
worth. Yankees are not in the habit
of buying a pig in a bag, I should hope.
If the company seeks to manufacture
public opinion on the great progress,

a PERTLous TRICK.

IFrom the Leavenworth Times-l
IT the Populists carry out the alleged
scheme Of unseating two Republican
senators and seven Republican repre-
sentatives in order that they may have
the necessary majority in the Iegisla-
ture to force a constitutional conven-
ton they win put an indelible stain on
their administration right at the be-
ginning. The people of the state viii

to steal a sufficient number of seats to
effect a given purpose If so, no bounds
can be set to their Indignation and the

rtble retribution. The preparation of
slcb an act v-ou1d be a most disgrace

limits of honesty and decency within
which even a Populist government
