willing to Compromise.


Tuesday warmly praise the exposition
question presented by the minister of
foreign affairs, NJ. Delcasse, in the yell
low book on the subject issued Sun
day.
The Figaro says that if the British
government rejects Frances moder-
ate and just proposition it can only
be because the government of Great
Britain desires before everything else
the humiliation of France.
The general tone of the French
press comments is reflected by the
Eclair, which remarks:
IAN agreement regarding Fashoda can
| be arrived at provided Great Britain does
not persist in asking for the immediate re-
call of Maj. Marchand. But as to an out
let on the Nile. we have an absolute right
thereto. and will brook no refusal"
The Steele, after urging peace, says:
France would hardly come off bet
ter in war with England than did
Spain in the war with the United
States. France would be better en-
ployed in developing her colonies than
in thwarting England
The Autorite declares that France
ought never have gone to Fashoda,
adding: 1T was stupid mistake, and
now England calls on us to get out
Well, it is no use talking, we shall
have to get out; otherwise, there will
be war, which would mean madness. u
Feeling Seems Improved.
London, Oct. "a. = In spite of the
news of the warlike notifications
which came from France and different
parts OF England Monday, with the de-
cline in rentes and consols, there is a
distinctly better feeling in diplomatic
circles and growing belief that the
Fashoda dispute will be arranged.

Halifax, N. S., Oct. 24-The COM
n,anders OF all warships of the British
North American squadron have re-
ceived orders to mobilize at Halifax.
The Pallas, Talbot and Indefatigable
will come here together with two tor
pedo boat destroyers now at Bermuda.
The torpedo boats at the. dock yards
are being overhauled. The crew Of
the flagship Renown will be sent to
Lawler's island this week for field
practice. The Renown went to sea
Monday morning for heavy gun prac-
tice.
London, Oct. "a. - The British ad-
miralty issued number of significant
orders Tuesday morning. The dock
yards at Portsmouth, Devonport and
Chatham have each received instruc-
tions to prepare six s0-knot torpedo
boat destroyers for commissioning 90
that they will be able to put to sea In
"a hours. Over time hours have be-
gun in the frst-class cruisers Europa
and Andromeda SO as to hurry them
for sea service. Several gunboats in
the different dock yards have been or
dered to postpone unnecessary reat-
ting.
Finally the Cunard line and White
Star line have received from the ad-
miralty an intimation to hold their
subsidized steamers in readiness for
turning over to the navy officials.
Feeling In London.
London, Oct. 24.-The afternoon
newspapers here discuss the report Of
the French ambassador, Baron de
Courcel, on the subject Of the con-
versation he had with the marquis Of
Salisbury regarding the proposed
French outlet ON the Nile, as being
the lending feature OF the yellow
book on the Fashoda question issued
Sunday by the French government.
The conservative organs scout the
idea of the marquis Of Salisbury en-
tertaining the surrender Of the Bahr-
El-Ghazal valley to the French. and
the Pail Mall Gazette and the Globe
suggest that the ambassador misun-
derstood the premier and call on the
latter to make some explanation.
The liberal and radical papers are
not displeased at the prospect Of a
compromise being arranged and they
believe that, provided Maj. Marchand
is recalled, the dispute is susceptible
to an arrangement by which France
will receive some satisfaction in the
Bahr- El-G Ghazal district.

Marketing EARLY po.a O ..

To those who are unfamiliar with DO
tato growing, the high prices which
early potatoes command might seem tc
make 1t an object to dig a large part OF
the crop and market it while the prize
is up. But there are several drawbacks
in marketing potatoes early. I'll,
weather Is hot, and while the skins O.
potatoes are tender, they will rub OFF
their Jackets if handled freely, and the
potatoes Ire then almost sure to rot.
Hence they are never sent far or In
large quantities. In digging potatoes
early there Is great waste, as only a
few Of the largest are Of marketable
size, and those that will sell would
grow still larger II eft a few days
longer in the hill.

Buttons.

It Is only In comparatively modern
times that buttons have been utilized
as fasteners. The Greeks and Romans
knew nothing Of them, and, though
they presented themselves as orna,
ments In the fourteenth century, but
ton4holes were still an undreamed-of
possibility. 1t was not until nearly the
middle Of the last century that the man
ufacture Of steel buttons was entered
upon at the Soho works in Birming-
ham, England. Then, on the accession
Of George III, gilt buttons appeared
and became quite the vogue. But it was
reserved for the artisans Of our day to
make these useful fasteners In the
greatest variety at m~arvelously low
prices and out Of all sorts Of material,
even to the seemingly impossible po-
tato.

The Women of Mexico.

The women of Mexico, all unframed
as they are, have a hard time. They
are utterly unskilled housekeepers, do
ing everything without proper imple-
ments and in the most primitive way.
Some few are skilled needlewomen,
but many of them are not. 1t Is one
Of the most sensible charities In the
City Of Mexico which puts q half hun
dred sewing machines in some large
building in q crowded part OF the city
and teaches the women to use them.
Sometimes the coarse cotton cloth that
is chiefly used for garments Is fur
nished to the women, but mostly the
machines and thread are furnished
and the poor housewives are welcome
to make up their garments. AS the
Mexican women are without house
keeping implements, 50 the children
are without toys. There never was a
nation of children so utterly devoid
Of things to play with. They have
not even a spool or a bone. But these
children which have v been
Graded or lulIed with the music OF q
rattle watch you from the recesses OF
the maternal rebosa with large eyes
in which the sadness of their ancestry
and the cruelties since the conquest
are Swallowed forth. There is a good
deal of the stoicism of the Indian in
these baby faces, and a good deal OF
inherited SORROW, too. The proud but
gentle race of the Astecs has been
humbled and ground in the dust by
his brave conqueror, the Spaniard,
and the hereditary face, behind its
good nature, has a look Of extreme
~sadness.-San Francisco Examiner.

EiRuratiYe

As an example Of the error Of talking
fguratively to those who do not appre-
ciate, and who are apt to take every
thing literally, this story is worth read
ing. The respected superintendent of
a Sunday school had told his boys that
they should endeavor to bring their
neighbors to the school, saying that
they should be like a train, the scholar
being the engine and his converts the
cars.
Judge Of his surprise when, next Sun
day, the door opened during lessons,
and a little boy, making a noise like an
engine, ran In, followed by half a doz-
en- others in single file at his back. He
came to a halt before the superintend-
ent, who asked the meaning of It all.
The naive reply was:
please, sir, I'm the engine, and
them's the cars"

A physician at a certain recruiting
station was obliged to reject many ap-
plicants on account Of their having "bi-
cycle heart" q new form Of disease pro-
duced by fast riding, OF ~'scorching,"
as it Is technically called. The action
Of the heart has much to do with the
quality we call bravery. Battles are
necessarily accompanied by intense ex-
element, which weak hearts are I'M
able to withstand. The result Is gen.
eral physical impairment. The physi-
clan alluded to has discovered that fast
riding On the bicycle tends to enlarge
the heart, and thus interferes with its
proper action. 1t is quite likely that
any prolonged violent exercise would
produce the same result, but in the
case of the 'tscorcher' 1t is only one
Of the Ill effects Of over-indulgence.
The position assumed by fast riders is
found to have a lasting effect upon the
spine, and in time prevents the victim
from standing erect with his shoulders
well back. 1t is obvious, therefore,
that a man who cannot hold himself
straight on dress parade, and who Is
liable to death by heart failure in bat
tie, Is very poor material for a soldier.

Packing Is a Science and an Expert
at 1t Makes Money.
The mules of Uncle Sam are equip
ped with the Mexican aparejo for the
carrying Of their loads, says a CORE
spondent. This consists first Of two
or more thick felt blankets, folded
large enough to nearly cover the mule
from shoulder to tail. Over this Is
placed a huge pair of leather bags uni
ted by a broad band Of the same mate
rial, the cavities stuffed with soft hay.
This is girthed to the mule by a cinch
nearly a foot in width, which Is drawn
as tightly as possible by a strong man,
pulling with both hands and with a
foot against the animals ribs to give
him a greater purchase. On each side
Of the spine the articles to be carried
are placed and dashed by a rope about
fifty feet in length, which has at one
end a broad webbing belt to pass under
the body, as was done with the others.
Another "squeezing' Is given and the
rope is crossed in different directions
over the load, frightened at every cross
ing, and finally fastened in a knot
loosed by n pull.
"P5rking' is a science, and as such
COMMIT nds good wages. l have known
a "chiefi packer" to be paid a salary of
$3.50 per- month on the frontier, and his
services Were worth the money paid.
The duty is taught to cavalrymen as
part Of their drill, and many Of the
soldiers become very expert in it. At a
pack drill of the Ninth Cavalry q few
days before it left Montana one COM
pany packed its mule in one minute
and ffty-four seconds, and others were
but little slower.
Thirty mules generally constitute a
"train," and are managed by three men.
They are trained to follow a bell, worn
by a horse, white preferred, as being
more readily seen. They are not con
fined in any way except when first put
into the train; then any straying from
1t ts punished very severely, and Mr..
Mule soon learns hts place and that it
Is best to keep 1t.

Russia Hoarding Gold.
