Gold Ring In a Turtle she'll

The assistant agent at the Adams Ex-
press office in Washington, o., while as
sisting in placing a salt sea turtle
weighing $50 pounds in the fish pond at
the Washington cemetery lately found
an old fashioned gold ring, with a brill
liant set just under the shell of the
creature. It had evidently. become
lodged under the shell while the turtle
was in the sea, and no doubt was the
property of some unfortunate traveller.
Some think it would be profitable to
dissect the turtle for other valuable
iewels.-Ch Chicago Chronicle.

tility to Mckinley being dropped in al
| most every instance. And when nom
ination were the order of business Han
ia kept the convention in session for
nine long. sWeltering, eXhausting and
unhappy hours, to the very last show
ing the unrelenting yigor of his rule
by whipping the southern delegates
into line FOR Hobart when they wanted
Evans for vice president. Hanna was
even maste1. of the emotions of the con-
ycntion. There was no enthusiasm,
there were no plaudits until Hanna gave
the word, and then carefully regu-
Hated Bedlam broke loose for William
Mckinley, the candidate = Hanna's
candidate.
With the convention dispersed and its
Iabors performed to Hanna's satisfac-
ton, he made a little speech to his
'sfellow republicans" in the course of
which he said: 1.-THE only work / have
done and the only claim make upon
the good will of my fellow citizens lies
in the fact that gave the plain Ameri-
can people a chance to voice their senti-
ments in regard to their favorite presi-
Dental candidate"
The unsuspeeting believed that
Hanna's work must be done when he
brought about the nomination of his
friend, William Mckinley. Neverthe-
less Hanna, who was not member of
the national committee, became it's
chairman before the sun set the next
day, and in compliance with his wishes
an executive committee of nine to hold
up his hands in the campaign will be
appointed. This committee is to in
elude solid men who, like Hanna, are
not members of the national commit
tee. Hanna is also to have the power to
name the secretary and the treasurer
of the national committee. If there is
anything else that Mark Hanna wants
but doesn't see, he has only to ask for
it and it will be produced. Never was a
man SO completely the autocrat of his
party as Hanna, the iron broker. And
never was man SO loath to admit that
he is any thing but a humble instru=
ment of providence-thati is. when the
proprieties intrude. Hanna's first act
as chairman of the national commit
tee was to issue an order to 'tthe re-
publican party Of the United States"
recommending the use of California
pampas plumes in red, white and blue
mounted fan-shape on staff, for
parades and interior decorations" 1t
was characteristic OF Hanna, and he
! will often repeat himself during the
campaign.--N. Z. Sun.

Kings have governed England for SOS
years, queens for 40, and protectors
for Il years. The average reign of the
kings has been 1914 years, of the queens
30 years, the average reign of all the
sovereigns being between % and "a
years. The average reign of the kings
of the Angevin dynasty-3oh years
is greater than that of any other reign
ing family, although the average reign
of the house Of Brunswick very nearly
approaches il. The average of the
Yorkist kings eight years-is the least
of all. Four sovereigns of England have
been of the Norman dynasty, and
reigned s8 years. eight were Angevins,

three. were of the house of Lancaster.

WILL NOT SUBMIT TO DlcTATtoN
Privileges OF the Bank of France Which
Are jealousy Guarded. s4i85

The subject of renewing the priyi-
leges of the Bank of France will short
~ come up for discussion in the cham
Der, after having been in allegiance
since 1892, when the senate approved
bill for the purpose.
The bill has not since been modified
and the provisions included in it will,
it is thought, be adopted without ma
terial alteration. One of them, which
was to empower the bank to increase
it's note issue from $500 000,0 900 francs
to 1000, 900, was passed as far back
as 1898. The charter expires on De
cember 81, 1897, and the proposal is to
extend it for period of 20 years from
that date in consideration of the bank
making certain concessions to the
state ts*sst5e
Among these concessions is one by
which the bank is to forego all future
interest on the government debt, 140,-
100000 francs, and not to demand re-
payment of the capital SO long as the
charter is in force. The bank is to un-
dertake the service of the national debt
and transact other business for the
treasury, both at the head Office and
branches, free of charge, and make an
annual payment to the latter of 2,0oo,.
600 francs during the first year of the
currency Of the new charter and 2,500,.
600 francs per, annum subsequently,
It is to open several new branches and
make advances to agricultural cooper
atiye societies.
It is not improbable that an effort
will be made to convert the bank into
state institution, but such a project
does not command support either in
financial or ministerial circles. and Is
not in the least degree likely to meet
with success. Edinburgh Scotsman.

"AAS . CountrymAn Thought OF tho Wont
Of . Physician.

"AAe Countryman Thought OF tho Wont
Of Physician
One OF the most prominent physicians
IN Washington owns u farm somewhere
in New England, and whenever he gets
unbearably tired of his fashionable pa
hents in town he goes there, puts on
his Oldest clothes, lays in stock Of corn
cob pipes and rusticates. One day last
summer, says the Washington Post, he
was jogging lazily along country road
in a rickety old cart drawn by horse
almost as rickety. A countryman walk
ing on the same road asked for a lift
and the two fell into conversation.
"Who are you working for?" asked
the countryman.
"Oh, I'm working for DR.. j, down
there" answered the physician.
What doin'?"
"Oh," went on the doctor. 'I do
everything for him. I take care of
him, you know. dress him and feed
him, and even wash his face and put
him to bed. I do everything he needs
DONE"
How much do you get for it ?" asked
the native.
"My board and clothes"
"An' you do all that for him-waah
him, an dress him, an feed him. an all
that?"
"Yes."
The countryman looked at the doc
tor moment in silence. Then he leaned
over the wheel and spat solemnly.
well, of all the dern fools evereee!"
was all he said.

PECULl-n.,iES OF MILLIONAlrGS
Use Halfpenny Stamps and Have q Poor
Dinner.


Use Halfpenny Stamps and Have q Poor
Dinner.
I have been asked whether I ever re-
ceive social invitations from million
aires in open envelopes, with halfpen-
ny stamps, and what I think of the
practice on the part of the millionaires,
says London Truth. It is not often thai
| am privileged to receive invitations
from millionaires under any circum-
tancCs, but it is a remarkable fact that
have had such an invitation addressed
to me at the halfpenny rate OF ostagr,
and as others have had n similar eX-
perience suppose that millionaircs as
class have a weakness for halfpenny
postage stamps. Probably this weak
ness has something to do with their
having become or remained million
aires.
A worse failing on the part of mil
lionaires Of which have experience l..
that they occasionally ask their friends
to dinner and sit them down to q meal
quite unfit to eat. Personally, would
rather that n man took halfpenny off
the postage Of my invitation and spent
it on the dinner. So far as the invita-
ton is concerned, there may possibly
be many people who, when invited to
the houses Of millionaires, would wish
the fact widely known and would pre-
fer, il possible, that the invitation
should be sent on a postcard, so that all
who run may read. Perhaps it is from
this kindly motive rather than from
parsimony that millionaires patronizc
the halfpenny post. Let us think as
well Of Dives IA we can.

London operates forty-two stations
and thirty-four miles of tubes. 1t is
estimated that over 81, 600 messages are
transmitted daily. Paris on the other
hand operates less than twenty sta
tons and transmits nearly as many
messages as London. There is there
fore something to be said in favor of
the Paris system as opposed to that of
London by reason of the economy of
its working force. Berlin operates over
twenty-eight miles of double tubing
and has thirty-eight stations The
Vienna plant corresponds in its opera
ton TO that of Paris, only in smaller
proportion. There is greater simplicity
in the London arrangement of the
tubes which may be said to resemble
double track railroad, while some
confusion is apt to result in the opera
ton of the Partisan tubes. The latter
form succession of loops and once a
carrier starts out from the central sta
tin, ii is compelled to make a COM
PiCpS circuit Vi the CITY before 1t can
return to its starting point 1t might
be supposed from this that much time
would be lost in the transmission of
empty carriers, but this difficulty is
overcome by the fact that the carriers
/ themselves are not acted upon by COM
pressed air or vacuum. The propelling
force in the pipes is eXerted upon a
small piston which is shot through the
pipes and drags after it long trains Of
carriers, just as a locomotive pulls a
train of cars. In London the carriers
themselves are acted upon by the pro-
pelling force and are shot through the
tubes in the same manner as those in
the Philadelphia postoffice.
+ Pneumatic tubes are operated on the
principle which causes a vacuum to be
created in the tube in front of the car
rier thus compelling the air behind the
carrier to drive it through the tube, or
IN the projection of compressed air
into the tube behind the carrier or in
combination of both methods
The carriers used in the tubes of

the transmission of packages. Other
wise these systems are very complete,
and in London, Paris, Berlin and vi
emma our American method of message
delivery would seem very slow indeed.
The London pneumatic tubes differ
very materially from those of Paris.
not only in the mechanical method OF
transmission but also in the manner in
which the circuits are arranged around
the city London uses what is known
as the radial system. Paris uses the
circuit system. In London the pipes or
tubes radiate from the central station
which in this case is the general post
office Outgoing and return tubes are
laid to and from the outlying stations.
In Paris, however, a single pipe start
ing from the central station makes a
circuit of outlying stations and then
returns to the starting point. The cir
cult arrangement is also used in Wen
ma, but it may be said in favor Of the
London method that Berlin which
originally employed this system, re-
placed it in 1884 by the radial system.
Yet the Paris plant is in some parts a
combination for the reason that double
