"Ithink Willie is learning to smoke"
said his mother. Il wish you to speak
to him about it."
"What shall l say to himT' asked his
father.
"Why, tell him the truth, of course"
And so Willie was duly called up,
and his father put on a sever look and
said:
"Willie, I understand you nre learn.
ing to smoke. Now, before it goes any
further, l want to tell you what the re-
suit may be. You may die in Il year,
and then again you may live to be 100

"Why, John" expostulated the boys

"You told mo to tell him the TRUTH"
returned the father, land there's hard
ly a week goes by that l don't hear of
some one close to the century mark who
has smoked ever since ho was II years
old, while people who never smoked at
all die in infancy with great frequency"

who smokes to look at the subject from
the right point of view.-Chicago Post.

tions between Baron de Courcel, French
ambassador in London, and Lord Sails
bury. the latter contending that the
capture Of Khartoum entitled Egypt to
possession Of all the Mahdi's domin-
ions and the French ambassador argu-
ing that Major Marchand had captured
Fashoda before General Kitchener
took Khartoum and that France had
for a long time held several ports on
the Bahr-El-Gazal
Lord Salisbury retorted that the
French forces in the regions referred
to were too weak to constitute effective
occupation.
Baron de Courcel, raving represented
that it would be Impossible for March
and to retire until it was settled where
he should go and how The evacuation
was to be effected. Lord Salisbury, az
ter rejecting seriously. said he was not
sufficiently acquainted with the geog-
raphy of Africa to reply for the present
regarding ILLUMINATION and that more
owe he could not enter into projects
Of that nature without consulting his
colleagues.
Baron de Courcel concludes the dis
patch of Oct. ~, by saying:

which were pronounced in a concilia-
tory and friendly tone"

Success gives an interesting anecdotc
told by Agassiz of his visit when a
young man to the great German nat
uralist. Professor Lorenz Oxen.
The professor received his guest with
warm enthusiasm, but apparent cmhar-
rassment. He showed his visitor the
laboratory and the students at work.
also his cabinet, and lastly his splendid
library of books pertaining to geological
science, n collection worth some 81, 900,
and well deserving the glow of pride
which tho owner manifested as he eX-
plated on its excellence. The dinner
hour came, and then the embarrassment
of the great German reached its maxi
mum point. IN. Agassiz," he said,
with perturbation, "to gather and keep
up this library exacts the utmost hus-
bandry of my pecuniary means. To ac-
complish this l allow myself ne luxury
whatever. Hence my table is restricted
to the plainest fare. Thrice Il week our
table boasts of meat, the other days we
have only potatoes and salt. | very
much regret that your visit has occurred
upon Il potato day" And so the splcn.
did SwitZer and the great German, with
his students. dined together OH potatoes
md salt. And what must those students
have enjoyed in the conversation Of
those remarkable men!

STRAFFORDS HAVE A SCANDAL.
Brother of the Earl Resigns From the
Ministry.

London, Oct. 23.-The wedding of
Mrs. Colgate of New York and the Earl
of Strafford-whose engagement was
announced last week-will take place
abroad, probably in Paris.
The Staffords have their skeleton,
like most other English "aristocratic
families. A possible heir to the title is
Hon. and Rev. Francis Bying, a BROTH
er of the present Earl of STAFFORD. This
reverend gentleman was chaplain to the
vicar Of a fashionable church of St.
Peters Cranley Gardens, Kensington,
and was chaplain to the speaker of the
house of commons. Despite his cloth.
reports say he was addicted to cards.
Some ten years ago he suddenly re-
signed his beneices and went abroad.
owing to trouble over a gambling debt,
it was said, and he has never returned.
He was the mildest, most ~inoffensive
and apparently the most exemplary Of
clergymen, and his fall excited profound
amazement. His brother. the earl of
sesses to a great degree the confidence
Of the queen.
The Duchess of Marlborough and her
babe are progressing admirably. The
duke has lot yet abandoned his scheme
Of getting the former family mansion.
the Malboroug house. for a town resi-
dence. The prince of Wales cannot part
with it. but the duke is said to have an
understanding with the duke of York
that when the last named becomes the
heir-apparent to the throne. he will
assent to the resale Of Marlborough
house to a representative Of the
Marlborough family. This can then be
easily arranged, as the prince of Wales
will take Buckingham Palace and the
duke Of York will take St. James Pal
ace.
I Mrs. Ronald is expected back in Lon
don at the end of this month. She has
recovered her health after her recent
severe illness. She took the cure at the
Spa in Belgium. Now she is staying in
Paris.
The most interesting engagement Of
the year is between Byron's grand
daughter, Miss Judith Blunt. and Bull
wer-Lytton's grandson. the Hon. Ne
vile Lytton, brother and heir-presump-
tive of the present earl. Miss Blunt is
the daughter of Wilfred Scawen Blunt,
a noted poet and orientalist. and Lady
Ada Milbanke. the only daughter Of
Ada, Lord Byron's only child. The mar
| riage is fixed for February. when the
bridegroom will be 80, and the bride
barely 20.
Wilfred Blunt. who was and is an in
innate friend Of Arthur Balfour, took
strong sides with the Irish party dur
ing Mr.. Balfour's coercion regime, and
caused one of the most exciting % n
troversies of hat stormy period by de-
claring that Balfour had informed him
while he was his guest that he had spe-
cially devised the rigorous imprison-
ment clauses OF the coercion act to
break the spirits and constitutions of
the Irish leaders.

1t is an interesting question to studi-
GUS people how long a man can go
without sleep. A physician asserts that
no healthy mar can OverwOrk because
eventually nature will compel him to
fall asleep at his task. A Journalist re-
Gently claimed to have worked ~ hours
without sleeping. Humboldt said that
when a young man he required only
two hours sleep each night, hut that in
his old age he found he really needed
as many as three or four. Victims sub
jected to the Chinese torture of being
kept continually awake die on or before
the fifth day. By far the most inspiring
example, however, is that of one Of the
saints, vino is related tn have lived 10
years without sleep and to nave remain

WILL OFFER REWARDS.
The Government Will Take Action on
Forest Fires.

J. +. Crawford, state land appraiser,
has received a letter from Commits
sioner Binger Hermann that the gov
eminent will offer rewards for the con-
viction of forest fire starters. The COM
missioner closes his communication as
follows:
81 have accordingly directed Special
Agent George B. Abbott, Cheyenne,
Wyoming, to confer with you and other
parties interested in the conviction OF
the offenders. as to what would be
considered a suitable amount to name
as a reward, or rewards: and to advise
this office in regard thereto, with a
view to reward being offered at once
in these cases. '-Sun-Leader.

STATISTICS OF WRECKS.
Loss of Life Nearly Double That of Last
Year,

Washington. d. c.. Oct. 23.-In his
annual report James A. Dumont, super
vtsing inspector of steamboats,. states
that the total number Of accidents "a
steamships which resulted in loss OF
life during the year was thirty-one. The
resultant loss of life was 203, an in
crease over the last previous year Of
100. OF the lives ios eishty-four were
passengers and 1893 crew. The estimat-
ed number Of passengers carried ON the
vessels inspected by the service during
the year is IS 5000, 900.
General Dumont strongly recon-
mends the passage Of senate bill 221S
now pending in congress, which u
thorizes the inspector general in GER
tain cases Of emergency to appoint COM
petent inspectors in his service to fill
vacancies without reference to the civil
service commission. The workings
Of the civil service law and rules as ap-
piled to his once. he says. are not al
together satisfactory.

about a mile from Harpersville, where
most Of the fugitives are supposed to be
concealed. There is a message here to
the effect that the citizens are appre-
hensive of armed negroes entering the
town tonight, and guards will be set to
prevent a surprise. The governor and
Mr.. Henry are naturally counseling
moderation, but in the excited state of
the public mind a general fear is ex-
pressed that the posse will not regard
the suggestion favorably.
Their presence. however. will I'm
doubtedly have 4 good effect Ii re-
straining the number of fatalities after
enough negroes have been killed TO
satisfy the outraged feeling of the
whites in that section.

RUMORED CONSOLIDATION.
Short Line and Oregon Railway and
Navigation to be Consolidated.

1t is stated in Salt Lake, says a dis
patch from thai city. that the expected
reorganization of the Union Pacific and
Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation companies will
have the effect of consolidating the
Short Line and Oregon Railway and
Navigation concerns into one system to
be operated from Portland, Ore. In
quiry at the general office of the Short
Line brought out the statement that
this is what has been expected all along
by the officials of the road. One who is
well informed in the secrets of the I'm
ion Pacific said that the rumor was well
founded and made he further state
ment that in less tnan one year the
same combination would control the
Central Pacific as well. and thai the
meeting in Salt Lake and the election OF
the Union Pacific officers on the Short
Line board were only the beginning OF
the working out of a design that will be
~far-reaching in its effect.

lSENT HER DOWRY TO HEAVEN.
Gullible Farmer and His Wife Pur-
chased Their Daughters Release.

Berlin, Oct. 23.-An almost incredible
instance Of fourteenth-century supersti-
ton and gullibility comes from the
town Of Kempton. Bavaria, where a
married couple named Wohlfahrt have
been sentenced to Imprisonment after
having been convicted Of an extraor-
binary series of frauds on a well-to-do
farmer and his wife living nearby,
whose daughter, Crescence, recently
died.
The Wohlfahrts persuaded the farmer
and his wife to believe that their
daughter. Agnes Wohlfahrt, received
frequent visits from the Virgin Mary,
who told her that Crescence was not in
heaven, but in purgatory. They furth-
er impressed upon the parents of Cres-
cence that Agnes could arrange their
daughters release from purgatory if
the farmer paid 800 marks.
The latter paid the money and a lit
tie later Agnes was alleged to have re-
ceived the news that Crescence had
been married to an angel and wished to
have her dowry sent to her, together
with 1000 marks. Then Crescence was
supposed to have had a baby and the
farmer gave more money to the Wohl-
fahrts. In short, the farmer was bled
in this manner until he was ruined.
But news OF the affair reached the au-
thorfties and the Wohlfahrts were ar
rested.
During the proceedings in court fifty
two letters. which Agnes Wohlfahrt
was said to have received from the Vir-
gin Mary, were produced and the public
prosecutor read a receipt from the
mother of Christ" for $50 marks. An
other document vas a letter of thanks
for a sack of potatoes and still another
was an acknowledgment of receipts Of
$500 marks which said that all the
angels in heaven blew their trumpets
when the money arrived. It was also
developed during the court proceedings
that Agnes actually gave the farmer a
sofa. a milk loaf and other things
which she had received from heaven,
while the farmers wife personally bak-
ed a fine tart for the Virgin Mary.

A lady who lived near Thomas Car.
lyle kept Cochin China fowls, and their
Growing was such a nuisance that the
philosopher sent a complaint to her.
The owner was indignant upon hearing
the appeal.
"Why, said she, they crow only
four times a day, and how can Mr..
Carlyle be seriously annoyed at that"
Upon hearing Of her attitude upon
the subject, Carlyle replied, 1.-THE lady
forgets the paiu l suffer in waiting for
those four crows.
