By the will of theta Mrs. Doyon
the University of Wisconsin has just
come into possession of $4,000, the
income of which is forever to be devot-
ed to scholarships for young women
pursuing studies in the university.
The benefciaries Of this noble gift are
to be chosen by the faculty on the
basis of scholarship and need of
assistance. In no way can the cause
of higher education be better served

Democracy Comes High.

The present loan will be the fourth
while Mr.. Carlisle has been secretary
of the treasury. The first, in Janu-
airy, 1894, was $5O,OOO,OOO, five per
cent. ten year bonds, which were sold
at 117.225, or on three per cent. ba-
sis, and Melted the government S58,-
66O,917. The second loan of $50
100000, five per cent. ten year bonds
of the same issue, which were sold in
November, 1894, went for 117.O77,
or on a two and seven eighths per
cent. basis, netting $58, 538, 800. The
third loan, which was made last Feb
ruary, was $62, 315, 400, four per
cent. thirty year bonds, at 1O4.496,
or on a three and three-fourths per
cent. basis, yielding $65,116, PA.
The total amount of bonds issued in
these three calls IS $162, 315, 400;
amount realized, 2,315,66l. On
these bonds the country will be called
upon to pay 1924, IT'S, 48O in interest,
while on the present issue of 100000
600, the interest for twenty nine
y CCOL . w III CI1IOuhU W
making total of more than $780,
100000 In interest alone, which the
obligations created during Secretary
Carlisle's term of Office will cost the
country. Added to the principal of
these four issues, which amount to
1862, 315, 400, the total obligations
amount to over $5OO,OOO,OOO.
The present Understanding debt
of the United States is $747, 36O,61O.
The aggregate debt, including all kinds
of notes and certificates, is $1,693,-
347,135. Against this there's cash
offset of $787, 578, 447. The annual
! charge is something over $50, 100000
on the interest bearing debt.
The interest-bearing debt when the
Republicans turned over the govern
ment TO the Democrats in 1898 was
1886, O34, 26O. In 1865 it was ST.
381 $50, 294, this huge sum being
| chargeable to the war Of the rebellion,
and on that account traceable more
or less directly to the Democratic
party. This Democratic debt the
Republicans had to pay, and when
they come into power again in 1897
they will find another Democratic
debt, which they will have to extin-
guish.

English View of the Monroe Doctrine

English View of the Monroe Doctrine.
For years Mr. Cleveland has had
almost a monopoly of English COM
pllments for Americans. For obvi-
Gus reasons, he has been constantly
treated as the single and conspicuous
example ofintegri5y among American
statesmen. So long as he was forcing
legislation detrimental to American
industries at home, and hauling down
the American flag abroad, he was the
embodiment Of greatness But the
instant be asserted the American
doctrine in a way that interfered
with the plans of England, he fell, in
the English mind, from a statesman
to demagogue. They soonconclud-
ed that In the light of his previous at
titude, both in the domestic and
foreign policy, his rash and undiplo-
matte message was the stroke of a
politician rather than the act of a
statesman.
The Saturday Review bluntly as
serts that "he has written himself
down an ass" and says: GAS soon
as President Cleveland found out
that his advances towards free
trade were premature, and that
his reductions of the protective
tariffs were unpopular, he went
in for Sound money and attacked
the blmetallists; but this seems to
have brought him no great advan-
tages. In the last forty days, Ken
lucky, Southern and Democratic
state, fever there was one, has shown
itself Republican. Nothing, therefore,
remained for President Cleveland to
do, if he wanted to rally his party
and secure victory at the polls, ex-
cept to announce a spirited foreign
policy From Gunton's Magazine for
February.

THE ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
Valuable Results Obtained By the AstYo.
uoxajcal Observer.

Valuable Results Obtained By the AstRo
noraical Observers.
The eclipse of 1896 will. no doubt, b
long remembered, not,so much because
it was of long duration, but because Of
Its accessibility to British astronomers.
The line of central eclipse passed
through the north of Norway, Nova
Zembla, Siberia and Japan, and several
places on this line were. crowded with
astronomers. The following notes are
from the eclipse station at Kurmakul.
in Nova Zembla, the most northerly sta
ton on the line. The party was organ
lied by Sir George Baden-PoweI, N.
p. and consisted of himself and Lady
Iaden-Powell. DR.. Stone (Radclif OBJ
server, Oxford, Mr.. Shackleton (South
Kensington), and Lieut.. Webb, +. n,
who was to make photographic surveys
for the admiralty.
The party left Hammerfest in the
yacht Otaria, and sailed to Vardo tn
procure official dispatches from st. Pc.
tersburg in connection with the land
ing at Nova Zembla. The vessel ran
sground once on the voyage from Nor
way, but was got of again with dam
ege. At Kurmakul, Prince Boris, OF tho
Russian expedition, paid visit to Sir
George Baden-Powell's party. The
latter. learning that there was n small
island near by which would be favora-
Bile for observation, went there and
fixed their tents. Here some days were
spent in preparing for the eclipse. The
sky for the most part presented dull
appearance, so that there was no posi-.
bility Of making trial photographs.
The day before the eclipse, however.
was better, and everybody who was go
ing to take part in using the instru-
ments went through kind of rehears-
al of his duties. !:
On the morning Of the eclipse, about
7:15, the moon was seen to be cutting
out little Of the sun. Then the light
appeared to fade away until all at once
everything seemed to be plunged into
darkness and the eclipse really began.
When the eyes OF the observers had re-
covered the shock, it was found that.
after all, it was comparatively light,
with the sun obscured by the moon,
round which appeared a magnificent
ring of purple light, crowned by fam
like streams of coronal rays. Before
one had time to realize what had hap.
pened, the rays Of the sun again shot
forth, and the eclipse was over. The
photographs taken of the corona It
self and the speotroscope photographs
of the corona and prominences were
very satisfactory, and will be of use in
the investigation of the change of form
of the corona with respect to the maxi.
mum and minimum sun spot periods!
The spectroscopic results are almost in
valuable. and will throw some light on
the vexed question as to the position Of
the absorbing layer of tho sun which
gives rise to the Fraunhofer lire in the
solar spectrum.-London Graphic.

PHOTOGRAPHIC FAD.

Souvenirs.

Cssd - Ornaments Of Menus and 0thss
Souvenirs.
The camera Is queen at present, and
the fad for photographs comes 4 close
second in the minds of fashions vota-
ries. Photographs are everywhere,
1pon everything. From letter paper to
china, from book covers to door panels,
from gloves to garter clasps, the photo
graph is placed in every position which
ingenuity can devise. The latest in
this line is the fad for menu. dinner,
luncheon and invitation cards, each
with tiny photograph of the fair
hostess in the upper left-hand corner.
These pretty TRIES cost from seven
dollars dozen upward, and they can
be used but once, of course. but they
make charming souvenirs of an ooca-
sion, and as they are quite beyond tho
reach of the woman Of moderate cir.
cumstances they are bound to be popu-
lar.
This Is the mode of placing them
upon the cards or stationery: The

costs from s1.5o % So, according TO
personal taste and tho quality of the
work. Only good. smooth. fine paper
can be used, and this adds to the cost.
The FIRST lot Of letter paper Give quires)
costs nearly five dollars. After that
the cost is increased BY the cost Of
producing the half-tone.
One clever Chicago girl who dab
bles in Photography made for herself
some new menu Cords which cost
great deal less and look quite as pretty
as the scrcn-dollar ones. She first In
duced a sister TO take tiny portrais
OF her which she developed and printed
in the regular way. Then she cut out
the photograph, using a delicate oval
outline as margin, and afterward Gov
cred the finishing line with a fine
tracery Of pen and ink work The re-
suit resembled a fine Ealf-tone with q
border Of etching, and the effect was
sd satisfactory and charming that she
has since filed many an order for her
friends.-Chicago Times-Eerald-
