EXPREsIDENT HARRISON has sold his
Cape May cottage for Sl0, OOO-about half
what he paid for it. According to the
gold-bug idea of finance, Mr.. Harrison
has Just about broke even, as one dollar
now will buy as much OF the laborers'
and farmers products as two dollars
would at the time he made the purchase.
Besides he has had the use of the cot
tage for several years, and he is just that
much ahead OF the game. Now, to fol-
low up this beautiful financial and spec
ulating scheme, we would advise Mr..
Harrison to Immediately invest that $lO,-
900 in farm. In these times OF de-
clining prices he will be enabled within
a few years to sell that farm for $1,000,
worth just as much in purchasing power
as the $4,000 he paid for it, and he will
be Read the use Of the farm. Then
take that five thousand dollars and in
vest it in town lots. He will soon be
able to sell them for 81 800, worth just as
much as the 5000 purchase money. By
this time, ii he has kept his taxes paid
up they have never been reduced from
the time he started) the price Of the
beautiful Cape May cottage will have
about disappeared. Presuming that he
has handled his other money as ju-
diciously and successfully as he has this,
his wealth will have sought the money
centers and he will have joined the great
army OF poor people. But then, by this
time, his days wages will purchase just
as much bacon and beans as il ever
would, and just think of the potatoes.

The FortincatIons of Paris.

The German chancellor, Caprivi, in
a speech said that Paris is the largest
and most formidable fortress the world
has ever seen--a stronghold with 50
forts and an outer line of Notifications
of nearly 100 miles" The wall of Paris
is built around the inhabited portion
of the city, inclosing all the monu-
ments and business houses. 1t is sur
rounded by broad ditch. The orig
inal plans provided for a second wall
some thousand PAGES beyond this one,
but instead there is circle Of forts
from one to two miles away from the
inner wall. Nearly 1000 cannon are
used to fortify these forts. The various
first class forts number about 30. They
are polygons in shape, strongly bas-
ticned and bomb-proof, with brick-up
bitches, covered ways and outworks.
Secure as Paris may be considered,
there are many military authorities
who think that an exaggerated role
has been assigned to it in the defense
of France. Serious French writer's take
an opposite view, one of them going So
far as to assert "now that Paris has
been rendered impregnable, the recOv-
cry of Metz and Strasburg is inevita-

beautiful in result. The edge next the

neither one is wide nor conspicuous.

is the brain. \ series of experiments

ST. PAUL'S GREAT BELL.
why 1t Was Not ToIIed for Prince Henry
of Battenberr,

of Battenberg.
The great bell of ST. Paul's was not
tolled for Prince Henry of Battenberg,
because he was no5 in the line of de-
scent from any English sovereign.
This honor is paid only to a member of
the royal family who could under any
conceivable circumstances succeed to
the throne; though it may be doubted
whether the bell would toll for n royal
infant not in the direct line of success
sion. This rule does not apply to the
cousort of the sovereign, of the heir
apparent, or of prince or princess on
the steps of the throne. The booming
of the great bell of St. Paul's was the
first intimation which the citizens of
London received of the death of the
prince consort, which occurred at IL
o'clock on the night of Saturday, De-
cember Ii, 1861.
Outside the royal family the only
persons for whom the bell is tolled are
the archbishop of Canterbury, the
bishop of London, the dean of st.
Paurs, and the lord mayor of London
dying in his year of office. The bell
tolled is not Great Paul." but the old
great bell on which the hours are
struck. On the occurrence of n death
in the royal fImily, the home secretary
at once communicates with the lord
mayor, desiring him to convey news
to the dean of st. Paul's with n request
that the great bell may be tolled. The
bell is then tollcd at intervals of a min
ute for an hour. The last occasion was
on the death of the dulle of Clarence
on January II, 1889. The duke died ut
OILS n. m., and the bell was tolled from
IL till IL. At the funeral of the late
Canon Liddon, in September, 1890,
Great Paul." which is much the deeper
and more sonorous bell of the two, was
made available, as by the rules the old
great bell could not be used.-West-
minister GaZatte.

HIS LIFE NOT WORTH TEN CENTS

Small Value Put Upon 1t by "a Man Who
Was Saved from Drowning.
A fat man carrying gun and lead
ing dog made dash down Market
street for the Oakland ferryboat. He
could have caught it if he had walked
quietly along, but he became excited,
and old Time commenced having fun

and the boat moved slowly out, but he
was determined to catch it, and, grip
ping his gun and dog chain little
tighter, made n run and sprang into
the air. The boat was only six feet
away, but the dog baked the apron.
