and her husband is most devoted to
her, both having the same tailor. Their
home is one Of great luxury and re-
finement, and the two gather about
them the savants of France, who are
eager to pay Tonnage to so learned and
so remarkable woman. Madame
Dieulafoy's nature is not like her taste
in dress, for she is entirely feminine
in speech and manner and still retains
her womanly gestures and manner
isms. which appear a little odd with
her fine tailor coat and trousers. She
never wears womans dress at any
time, and her wardrobe is as perfect
as the best dressed of London swells.
Her silk hat is the perfection of CLOS
siness, her linen correct and immacu-
late, and her coats the latest cut.
Her hair is short and arranged in a
her skin is fresh and rosy. When in
the street with her husband she car
ries herself exactly like man, and
uses her walking stick with great ease.
One would never imagine her to be
other than small, well-dressed man
yet directly one is aware that she is
a woman. 1t is easy to see that she
has the little ways OF her sex, and
that her mannlshness Is only in her
clothes.

A bachelor, writing to the Minneapo-
lis Times, gets very angry over the pro-
position to tax unmarried men. He
says there would be more marriage but
for our "damnable rotten society,"" as
to which he presents no method of re-
form; that the taxation proposed
would lead to bloodshed. and that
many bachelors would end their lives
in almshouses rather than pay it. 1t

other hand Yet us steer clear Of the
danger of a greater than any previous

To work ones way through college

draught horse. has worked his way
through college on crackers and milk,
ard is still living to tell the tale, It is
no guarantee that some weak chested
individual, with one lung gone and the
other going, can do the same. This is
the mistake that some physical
wrecks are making. Their ambition
is commendable; their effort is de-
plorable." 1t is we'll TO be thus re-
minded that the question has two
sides; but that does not alter the fact
that necessarily, and properly, it's deci-

Founder of Rod cro.. Society.

The name of the man who was the
actual cause of the foundation Of the
Red Cross society, which has done so
much to mitigate the horrors of war, is
little known to the present generation.
However, he is still alive. and unfor-
tunately, it is said. in bad circum-
stances. His name is Dunant, and he
was born in Geneva in 1928. A man of
means, he appears to have devoted q
large portion of his wealth to works Of
charity in connection with his native
city. The admirable labors OF Flor
ence Nightingale, which attracted the
attention of all Europe. made a strong
impression on M. Dunant, which was
further increased by his own partici-
patton in the war OF Napoleon III
against the Austrians in 1859. There
he witnessed war in all its horrors.
and 1t resulted in his publishing a
book on the subject which at the time
attracted much attention. In 1863 he
started on pilgrimage, at his own ex-
pense, to various countries, to stir up
men into influencing the various gov
ernments into a conference which
should have for its object the forma-
ton of some means for the mitigation
OF the horrors of war. The result was
the historic conference in 1864 at Ge-
neva, the outcome of which was the
convention which has made modern
warfare comparatively humane.

The statistician of the Department
of Agriculture has prepared a report on
the wheat situation, which indicates
that there will be no material cheaper
ing of wheat until another crop is in
sight. During the past six years the
United States has exported annually an
average Of Ice, 900, 900 bushels of wheat.
During the same period the European
product has averaged about 1,400, O0O,-
600 bushels. This year, according to
expert estimates, the European crop is
about 100,000,000 bushels under that
average. To make up this deficiency
little help can come from India, Argen-
tina or Australasia, and Europe's in
creased imports must be drawn mainly
from the United States.

An English journal says that our
navy is composed Of few modern
ships which cannot put to sea; that
our army is made up principally of

or Spain could easily whip us; that

them know how to read or write Thus

Machine for Sealing rnvelopo..

The treasury department is giving a

given a trial. If the machine proves
a success it may be put into regular
use throughout the department. The
machine is not complicated. II works

Three Sailors Tried to Burn Their Vessel

The whaler John and Winthrop ar
rived in San Francisco recently with a
queer story Of an attempt of three of
the crew to burn the vessel and go to
the Klondike. On Aug 10. near mid
night, two fires were discovered, but
were put out without much damage In
vestigation showed that three sailors,
J. H Kruger, Harry Jones and Osborn
Digman, had started the fires with the
purpose of escaping in one of the small
boats to the mainland and then striking
out for the Klondike.
Kruger was the ringleader, and the
other two have made q full confession
of the plot into which Kruger induced
them to enter A few days before the
fires the whaler spoke fellow whaling
vessel, the Gayhead, and heard the first
news Of the rich strikes near Dawson
This news appeared to make Kruger
crazy. He talked of nothing else. and
the plot to burn the ship was the result.
When the fires were set, they were
about 100 miles from st. Michael's g.
