'The young man handled the ver'

After long and patriotic contempln-
ton he at length ventured to ask:
Put where is the bayonet?'
och, said the old man, 'one of the

Where is the ram-rod?'
"Why, that was splintered so badly

There are in Europe, says the West
minister Review, five great powers
England, France, Germany, Russia
and Austrin-who all hate each other
cordially, although they make alliances
between themselves whenever expedi-
eucy suggests agreement. England
hates France because they are rivals
for the supremacy of the world; Eng
land hates Germany because she is
irritated by her presumption and her
trade competition; England hates
Russia because of the distant East;
England hates Austria because she Is
not England. France hates England
because it has been the duty of Eng
land to put period to the glory of
all her great monarchs; France
hates Germany with racial hate !;
France hates Russia because the two
peoples are so essentially made to
disagree; France hates Austria be-
cause she always has hated her. Ger
many hates England because England
was great before she existed, and will
be great when she in her present form
shall have ceased to exist; Germany
hates France because she fears her
Germany hates Russia because fate de-
crees that these two nations shall cut
each others throats; Germany hates
Austria because she knows Austria
does not love her. Russia hates Eng
land because of the future; Russia
hates France because of the past
Russia hates Germany because of the
present; Russia hates Austria for
every conceivable reason. Austrip
hates England because a debilitated
nation always hates a healthy one
Austria hates France, for France hal
robbed her; Austria hates Germany
as Esau hated Jacob; Austria hates
Russia through sheer force of Circum.

That Russia is undergoing a pro.
cess of industrial transformation is
illustrated by evidence to be found at
the national exposition which is being
held at the ancient city of Mini, at
the junction OF those two great water
arteries OF the empire, the Volga and
the Oka. This is historically one of
the most important trading centers of
the country. From time immemorial
the Russians have exchanged Mt this
point their native products for those
OF the Tartars, the Chinese, the Per-
slams, the Bukharans, the Turks, the
Arabs and the Hindus. The regular
fair of Mini is held every year, and
the transactions Of which it is the oc-
casion are said to amount to about a
billion roubles in the space of two
months. It is not surprising, there
fore, that the Gar chose Mini for the
location of the grand exposition. But
there is yet another reason. Mini waG
the cradle Of Russian independence.
1t was there that the first Romanoff
was elevated to the seat of power,
Michael, founder OF the imperial dy-
nasty. The ordinary population of
the city is about $4,000, but during
the time Of the annual fair it attains
TO nearly a million aud a quarter. 1t
may be imagined, then, how great is
the present concourse of people in the
old city.

The Japanese army surgeon who
went to study the Spanish hospital
service has returned home. He re-
ports slovenly methods Of nursing and
incapable surgery, while he ''hesitates
to report" all the inhuman things he
saw. Coming from a critic whom the
Spanish may look upon as an Oriental
semi-barbarian, this indictment would
have a singing effect if the Spanish
in Cuba had any self-respect to be
stung, observes the San Francisco
Chronicle. AS to the capacity of the
Japanese surgeon to pass professional
judgment on the Havana hospitals, it
is enough to soy that the japanese
army medical corps is superior to the
Russian and not much inferior to the
English.

Saving the Bison

Tho roprodactila on largo seals.
OF the all bat extinct American bison
OF buffalo OF the plains has been de-
cided upon by Mr.. Henri Menier, the
millionaire chocolate manufactures Of
Paris and new proprietor Of The leland
Of Anticost. Ho has purchased
young buffalo COW, which was for
some time kept Ia captivity by o
Quebec dealer In iura, aud his agents
are now in correspondence with the

yaio herds Of this noble animal, with q

that in the Yellowstone National
Park-will have disappeared through
the lack Of protection on the part Of
the State authorities Of Idaho, and be-
lieves that the only practical means Of
preserving their race to posterity is
to reproduce them in their natural
condition and upon as large a scale as
possible, on an island like Anucost,
where their slaughter is impossible,
since nobody but it's proprietor can
shoot or hunt upon the island.
Not only for the purpose Of stock
ing his island park with the grandest.
Of big game and Of being in a position
eventually to dispose Of stock for other
preserves has Mr. Menier undertaken
his new scheme for the Wholesale
breeding of buffalo. He has not over
looked the commercial promise Of the
undertaking, having found that deal
ers are now asking $40 to 500 each
for buffalo skins that twenty years ago
could be had in abundance for So and
$40 apiece.
Moose are also to be carefully nur-
tured on Anticosti. These animals are
rather difficult to obtain, and only two
or three are so far ready for shipment
to their island home. BY next spring
it is hoped that the herd will have
been increased to fifteen or twenty,
and that the caribou upon Anticosti
will be in excess of hundred head. -

By a decision handed down by
Judge Adams, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the Greek Nation
the names of over 100 colored people
are stricken from the rolls of citizen
ship of the nation. The decision holds
that the action of the Indian Council,
after the passage of the emancipation
act by the United States, in admit
ing colored people to tribal relations
was unconstitutional, and therefore at
this time invalid. Since the passage
of this act these colored people have
drawn in annuities from the Greek
Nation over 1000. 600, have held
positions of trust and have improved
their farms. From the decision of the
court there is no appeal.

The nominal head Of the Swiss gov.
eminent is somewhat OF an anomaly.
AS an official he has no ex-ofioio rank
IN the army, cannot launch a veto OF
pardon a criminal. He has no Offices
in his gift, never chooses his associates
in the federal council. As an indi-
vidual he cannot declare war nor make
peace nor determine the financial
policy Of his country. With this long
list against him the New Orleans
Picayune concludes the only thing
which he is empowered to do seems to
be to draw his salary.

Bicycle manufacturers are making
a large draught on the supply of elm
wood. Most of the wood used in the
rims of bicycle wheels is now of
rock elm. During this year 81
600, 900 rims will be required for the
trade. 1t takes about 2 IL feet of
wood for a rim, so that the 5000, 600
rims will call for $500, 600 feet Of
wood. As only the finest wood can
be used in rims, amounting to only n
fifth of the bulk of rock elm, these rims
will call for the cutting and handling
Of nearly 40, 900, 600 feet of this wood.

A MYSTERY IN WHITE.

''It's not more than a year ago. said
the veteran detective when asked for a
story, "that had the strangest expe-
rience Of my career. That's saying
something, for, while I'm not one of
these men in novels who can put on

"a gentleman named Denzil called

my professional services. I knew him
by reputation as stern, grasping,

wealth, but had saddened her life by
preventing her marriage to a manly
young chap who was a fitting match
for her in appearance, attainments
and disposition. He was fast making
II record in the world Of business, but
it was a rich old bachelor who had
passed the years of romance and en-
joyment that Denzil had elected to
have as son-in-law Even under the
threat of disiaheritance the girl would
not yield to this mercenary arrange
ment, the result being a strained state
of neutrality which left both aspirants
for her hand without any apparent
hope of getting it.
"My caller went direct to business.

cause of the theft of money and jewels

SCRAPPING OVER WATER.
Fatal shooting ARRAY Among sheep
Men in Tijeras Canon Yesterday.

At Tiieras canon in northern Bernalillo
county one Archebuque and a member of
A. %slf known family there named Silva
engaged in shooting bee yesterday.
Silva is dead and Archebuque's shoulder
is full of shot. 1t appears that Archie
buque and an American, name unknown,
we're engaged in herding sheep for Swift
q, Co., and negotiated with the wife OF
one of the Slvas to water their flock on
the Silva property, paying IS for such
privilege. While the sheep were drink
ing another Silva, brother-in-law of the
woman, put in al appearance with shot
gun and demanded more money for the
use of the water. A quarrel followed
Achebuque's refusal to produce more
cash and Silva turned loose his weapon,
lodging charge of shot in Archebuque's
shoulder. Archebuque then fired upon
Silva, using a revolver. The bullet
penetrated the forehead and Silva died
instantly, though it is said the American
also fred upon him before it was discov-
cred that Archebuque's shot had been fa-
tai, the antagonists being at the time sixty
yards apart.
