the wrestlers Wrestlers may DO found
in almost every city, and they travel in
companies through the. provinces. On
their reaching country town a huge
cireus-like booth is built OF straw
mats, sufficient to hold an audience Of
one or two thousand: criers are sent
round the town, and four or FIVE
days performance is commenced. The
wrestlers are mostly big men, aud
the swells among them look as tall
as Patagonians, and as big as Daniel

important factor. The men are usually
matched in pairs, and they are called
upon by an usher, who announces
their names according to a pre-ar-
ranged programme. Two names being
called, the men walk up. the opposite
sides Of a circle, about twelve or IF

make feint or two; but usually it
will end by their getting up, turning
round, and having second drink of

3 Not Enough for Two.

Patrick was the captain of q brick
schooner that piled between New York
and HaverstrOw on the Hudson. One
day his schooner was loaded, ready to
start for New York. But Patrick
never gave the word to the crew to
cast off the hawsers and get under
way. Instead, he sat lazily swinging
his leg over the spokes of the wheel,
smoking his pipe.
The owner of the brick-yard, who
was also the owner of the schooner,
seeing that the vessel had not started,
and wishing to have the load Landed
in New York as soon as possible,
rushed down to the dock and irately
demanded OF Patrick why he did not
get under way.
"Shure, yer honor, there's no wind. f"
''No windl Why, what's the mat
ter with your There's Lawson's
schooner under sail, going down the
river now"
"Yis, I've been er watchin' her, but
it's useless my gettin' under way.
She's got the wind now, aud, faith,
there's not enough of it fer two. -

All sorts of complications have
arisen in connection with Italy's new
postcard. The design OF the card is
intended to commemorate the union
OF Rome with Italy and the fall of the
temporal power of the Pope. Leo
XIII considers the issuing Of the card
an offense to the church, and in de.
ference to his protests Austria, Spain,
Portugal and several of the Southern
German states have refused to receive
it or pass it through their mails
France and Belgium have done the
same in number OF instances, and
the expostulations have now been adj
dressed by the Italian government to
the foreign powers concerned, with
claims for compensation made on the
ground that the postcard if framed in
strict accordance with international
postal law.

Our lumbermen scarcely realize the
enormous consumption of spruce
going on day by day in the pulp and
paper mills of this country. They are
grinding up or digesting with chemi-
Gals into wood pulp 100000 feet OF
spruce logs each year, or at least
$500 feet each day. The State OF
Maine spruce forests will not yield an
average of 5000 feet TO the acre,
hence the pulp mills OF the
United States would consume each
day in the year the spruce
growing on 100 such acres, and in
800 days the spruce growing on $685.

dustry has increased 1868. percent

about law point 1t was bought ten
years ago by the man whose heirs
have recently sold it, but as the ven
ders did not complete the sale on the
appointed day he disowned the pur-
chase. He was compelled by the
lower court to carry out his agreement
but fought the case to the Court of
Appeals and the House of Lords, and
when he finally lost refused to have
anything to do with the farm. He
was compelled to pay $40, 900 to keep
it under cultivation, but would not
touch the crops, and at last, having
got the matter into Chancery, let the
farm go to waste and the buildings
disappear.

One of the influential German illus
trated papers, using the report OF the
American Consul at Bremen as a text,
says there is good market in Ger
many for American horses. Since
1896 it appears that fully 10, 900
horses have been shipped from this
country to the various German ports,
the chief markets being in Hamburg
aud Bremen. They bring on an aver
age about SITS each, and are often re-
sold, according to the paper, for $3.50
at Leipsic and other inland cities.
Purchasers for the animals have gone
from Sweden and Denmark to Ham
burg, showing that there is probably
a market for them in those countries
as we'll. The German newspaper, how.
ever, warns American shippers that il
is useless to send poor horses to Ger.
many. and suggests that great care be
taken in handling and feeding them
while on the water.

enforced delay in exploring the little
city. Lucia gathered up her few
small belongings and followed the
crowd, her thoughts still busy with

usual custom, fell easy prey to them,

TREATY RATIFIED.
The Senate Agrees to the Behr;ng Sea
Arbitration Treaty.

Washington, April 15.-The senate
in executive session today ratified the
Behring sea arbitration treaty. The
treaty provides for a commission to ar
bitrate the claims made by citizens of
England against the United States for
seizure of vessels engaged in the zap
ture of fur seals prior to the Paris re-
ward. 1t was verbally amended by the
committee on foreign relations, but not
TO an extent to materially change its
purposes. The senate ratified it with
out making any changes in addition to
those made by the committee. and
without any dissenting vote.
The agreement was explained by
Senator Sherman. chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, and by
Senators Gray and Cullom. Messrs.
Hoar and Chandler criticised the word
ing Of the document. Senator Pugh
suggested the absence of his colleague.
Senator Morgan. and stated that the
latter was DESTROYS of being present
when the treaty should be taken up.
Attention was called to the fact hal
Mr.. Morgan had opposed the settle
ment proposed by Secretary Gresham
during the last session, but it was stat
ed in reply that Mr.. Morgan would be
satisfied with the treaty as amended.
and it was urged that, as so much time
had already elapsed, it was important
that action be no longer delayed. Some
questions were asked as 10 the amount
involved in the proposed settlement,
and it was stated in reply that this
could not be definitely eivea-The
nearest approximation to the figures
possible was the sum which Secretary
Gresham had agreed to pay, which was
something less than half a million dol.
