Prince George of Greece is an expert
bfcyclist, and, it is said, rides a bicycle
almost as well as he handles a man-of-
war.
DIR. Nansen is a lover of bright colors.
His ship, the Fran. was painted green,
gray, scarlet and white, picked out with
gold.
--Zola, busy as he is supposed to be,
works only three hours day, and the first
hour hardly counts. 1t is usually between
ten and one in the day that he writes, AT
home in the evening he ordinarily wears a
SNUFF -colored sack suit. He is growing
stout; he looks tired, and his voice is weak
and pitched high.
Robert H. Folger, said to be the old
est practicing lawyer in America, has, at
his home In Massillon, o., a treasure in
the way of ships log kept by his father,
Capt. Mayhem Folger of the good ship
Topaz While making his last cruise in
the Pacific Capt. Folger, in February,
1903, discovered the surviving mutineer
of the ship Bounty and his colony on
Pitcairn Island.
There were fifty-six signers of the de-
claration of independence and only three
had or used a middle name: Robert Treat
Paine of Massachusetts and Richard Hen
ry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee of Vir-
ginia. The Lees were both natives of
Stratford, Va. Robert Treat Paine was six
years older than Tom Paine, the publicist.
The former was a Bostonian; the latter
was born in England.
Leo XIII has just entered on the TWEEN
tieth year of his spiritual reign, and some
of the more superstitious in Rome look
on the year with dread, because of the
story that on the eve of his election a
young Franciscan monk had vision, in
which he was told that the new pope
would hold office twenty years When so
old a man as Cardinal Pecci was chosen,
the visionary was Knocked; now some fear
that his revelation will prove too pre-
cisely true
The young Queen of Holland who is
now tout" continues to charm everybody
with the grace and youthful dignity of
her manner. Her majesty, now
that her hair is dressed
high upon her head instead of hanging
down her back, looks very sweet, although
she can scarcely be called a beauty. 1t Is
thought that the young sovereign will
bestow her hand and heart upon Prince
Bernhard Of Saxe-Weimar later on in the
| year. Meanwhile. various suitors of Ger
| man princely origin are pining for her
smiles.

Actors fear nothing so much as ridicule,
and many good play or situation has
been ruined by it, says the, Chicago News.
and actor alike. On the raising Of cur
tain in a certain play an actor is discov-
cred alone on the stage. A gallery god on
the opening night remarked, "Hope we
amt keeping you up, mister, much to the
amusement of the audience; but when a
little later one of the performers said,
Il am the last of my line" he was prompt
ly met by pious ejaculation from the gal
lery, Thank heaven for that"
A famous comedian says that his most
trying time was once when the piece in
which he was acting dragged terribly.
The gods were restless and when he cane
to the unfortunate line, This is indeed
dreadful" he was stunned by quick re-
Spouse: Dreadful Harry? Why, it's aw-
fulr'
An old actor is not disconnected by re-
marks from the audience, however unless
they are so pat that the consequent laugh
ter will not be stilled and he cannot go
on with his part. An incident of this kind
occurred in a college town An entertain
ment given in the theater was preceded by
a comedy sketch. The curtain rose on an
empty stage and presently a meek and
mild young man made his entrance carry
ing an oVercoat. He called loudly, "Unclel
uncle!' He should have received no an
swer to this in the play and after short
silence was to go on with his part But a
college man in the gallery, shouted out
cheerfully: Hello, old chap; how much dc
You want on it?' This sent the audience
into such commissions and the shrieks were
so prolonged that the unfortunate actor
left the stage and never reappeared that
night

More than a quarter of a century ago
Capt. Moses Lucas got tired of grubbing
in a stumpy field near Vineland, N. J.
kissing his wife and daughter goodby,
he turned his face towards the setting
sun. He returned one day last week for
the first time. How he managed to rec
ognize his wife and daughter is a mys-
terry. For during his absence they con-
tinued to till the farm, and finding skirts
somewhat unsuited to their occupation
they adopted boomers. They had them
on when the husband and father showed
up. But the recognition was instantane-
Gus and mutual. and joy has been uncon-
fined in the household ever since. Capt
Lucas, IL is said. came back rich. having
made a fortune in the lumber business in
California.

Libel md LiheIIers.

The chief purpose of the bill before the
New York legislature prohibiting newspa-
pers from printing alleged pictures of per-
sons without their consent, is to put a
stop to caricaturing people in cartoons,
but 1t takes a broader scope so as to pre-
vent any evasion of the law. There is of
course opposition to the bill by certain
newspapers, but it is in the line of decent
journalism, and no fair minded publisher
should object to it, There is no worse way
of libelling a man than by printing dis
torted likeness of him, or publishing his
counterfeit presentment in a questiona-
BILE shape. The libeller with the pencil
or crayon Is more dangerous than the
libeller with the pen. This class of pic
lures is increasing, and is one Of the most
demoralizing features of new journalism.
No man in public is safe from the carica-
turing of these irresponsible and dyspep-
tic cartoonists.
The state of New York now has a good
law which makes parties who furnish
false information to newspapers liable to
punishment. Such law if enacted in the
other states would be beneficial to public
morals.
Despite the best efforts of conscien-
tious newspaper editors and publishers,
they are constantly the victims of careless
or vicious correspondents, who send in by
mail or wire false news. In the rush of
getting out a newspaper of to-day, it is
impossible for an editor to substantiate
every item that is sent to a newspaper.
A law making correspondents and report
ers jointly liable with editors or proprie-
tors for the publication of
false news, would go a great way towards
stopping the publication of libellous news
items.

Chicago is evidently in liberal mood just
about this time. 1t must be that she is
enjoying a considerable degree of pros
perity and finds some difficulty in getting
rid of her money. Besides increasing the
salary of her mayor by 5000 a year and
OF her controller by $1,000 year. she has
employed a messenger at a salary Of $500
year to escort a blind alderman about
the city. The Fifth ward elected Blind
Billy" Kent to council. and informed that
body that since the ward had done so
much for him It seemed to be the duty
OF the city to furnish him an escort at
public expense.

A New York wine dealer told Mayor
Strong a day or two ago that II was not
uncommon for restaurant keepers in that
city to draw three or four brands Of wine
out Of the same cask, such as "St. Jul
ien." "Medoc" and "Margot." The res
taurant man eases his conscience with the
reflection that probably nine out Of ten
persons who order wine would not be able
to distinguish between the brands II they
had them IN unlabeied bottles. They
buy the name. taste the name. and are
happy.

Dispatches from Camden, N. j.. tell of
the desperate fight for her life and honor
made by a young woman who was as
saulted on the highway by a negro. The
young woman may die. Presumably if
this fendish brute should be caught and
lynched, Bishop Turner would advise the
negroes of New Jersey to "get guns and
shootv He would have them risk their
own lives and the lives of others in de-
Tense of an incarnate fiend who defies
the laws and outrages the community, and
whom Bishop Turner himself would de-
spise. 1t is extremely seldom that lynch
ing falls upon a person who does not de-
serve it. There may be exceptions, but
they are the exceptions which prove the
rule. The negro who is worthy of friend
ship and confidence never lacks the sup
port of the white people. and is never
lynched.

In tropical and oriental countries the
bamboo is considered the most valuable of
all the woody growths. In China and ia
pan the wood is put to an almost infinite
variety of uses. Houses boats barrels,
furniture-almost everything in the MAX
ing of which wood is used, is made of bam-
boo. The United States purchase annually
many thousands of dollars worth of bam-
boo products from the orient such as
chairs, screens, fans. canes, etc.
Experiments in Florida and Louisiana
have shown that bamboo will grow in those
states almost as well as in the hotter
countries. Around Fort Myers there are
bamboos that have attained to a hight of
fifty or sixty feet. They are of a variety
which usually grows to about seventy
feet in India. In Orange county there is
one clump of bamboos, said to be only 10
years old. in which the stalks have at
tanned to the hight of sixty-five feet, the
stalks averaging thirteen inches in cir
conference. There are eighty stalks in
the clump. This particular clump is of
variety from Bengal, where the wood is
used for building purposes and for light
spars for vessels. The Florida specimens
might be employed to spar a pleasure
yacht Specimens from Japan and China
have not grown so tall as the two kinds
mentioned, but they have reached hight
of ten to twenty feet. one Japanese va
riety has been found to flourish on high
pine land. The others require the low
lands of the swamps and river bottom
lands. OF this high land variety it is said
that 1t is one of the hardest, quickest
growing species known. Some Of the sto-
ries told of its rapid growth sound like
yarns of magic. 1t will endure more cold
than any of the other species of large
bamboo, and when 1t has unrestricted pos
session of a piece of ground. 1t, proceeds to
form dense forest, from which bamboo
stalks of almost all sizes and lengths can
be cut annually.
While the people of Florida and the gulf
country are casting about for profitable
by-crops, they should not overlook the
bamboo. 1t can be grown for almost moth
ing, on land that is of very little, If any,
use for any other purpose. The demand
for the wood is great. There Tre a thou
sandD and one uses to which IL could be
put in this country. which, with It's mod
ern ,labor-saving machinery, could dis

prices. With a supply of bamboo in the
