The London Chronicle questions the
wisdom of erecting statue OF George
Washington in London. d. G. Muir
ray, the novelist, is proposing a Ma
tional subscription to erect the statue
and Messrs. Bayard and Hay have ap-
proved OF the scheme In discussing the
matter the Chronicle says; "Like all
near relatives, England aud America
quarrel now and then. Perhaps some
day it might occur to boisterous
lingo to make the statue of the father
OF his people the subject Of an unodify-
ing demonstration.

In a series of papers on Historic
Dwarfs," Mary Shears Roberts de-
sribes the famous Casan. Mrs. Rob-
erts says:
Casan was the name of little Mon
gol Tartar who flourished in the early
part of the thirteenth century.
He was born in the eastern part of
Asia, not far from the ancient city of
Karakorum. His parents belonged to
one of the barbian hordes that owed al
legiance to Genghis Khan, and Casan
became a Ilerce though small warrior,
and fought bravely under the banner
of the great and mighty Mongol con-
queror.
The exact height of this little dwarf
Is unknown. He was certainly not
over three feet tall, but he was active
and muscular, and like all his race,
could endure hunger, thirst, fatigue
and cold
The Tartars were unexcelled in the
management of their beautiful horses.
The fieetest animals were trained to
stop short in full career, and to face
without ulHCulHB VIII DedSL or 1Or-
hidable foe. Casan was a born SOL
bier, and at an early age became ex-
pert in all the exercises that belonged
to a Tartar education. He could man
age fiery courser with great skill, and
could shoot an arrow or throw lance
with unerring aim, in full career, ad-
vancing or retreating.
Like many of those small in stature,
he was anything but puny in spirit,
and while yet a lad he gathered about
him a troop of wild young Tartar boys
as reckless ahd daring as himself, of
whom by common consent he became
a leader. He commanded his lawless
young comrades with strange mix
ture of dignity and energy, and they
obeyed his orders with zeal and will
ingness. Sometimes they would go on
long hunting expeditions, seldom fail
ing to lay waste any lonely habitatlon
they happened on.

man in ill health, was well dressed,
and apologized for intruding as soon
as I went out. While taking his
morning walk he had noticed a base
ball outside the hedge, concluded at
once that It belonged to some boy
about the place and tossed it into the
yard. In doing so he mad thrown

had associations that made it very

gave it up, but before leaving he as

$100 to any one leaving the ring at
his hotel. OF course, could take no
such reward, but could send one OF

Of course dogs laugh. Every boy
who has a pet terrier or mastiff OF
Newfoundland knows it well enough,
but it is only recently that scientists
have begun TO study the subject. A
Frenchman has found that the dog
and the bear and very few other
animals actually have smile muscles in
their face, and the picture here given
is from photograph OF fox terrier
owned by the scientist. He believes
that dogs show their joy and delight
by smiling just as boy or girl would
do, and he says that some dogs are
so amiable that they seem to smile

1t isn't "Oh, fudge" any more. It's
"Oh, fudges!" And aren't they good!
Any one who has ever eaten Judges
stuck as full of nuts as Jacky Horner's
pie was of plums-will know that they
eclipse anything every invented in the
line of goodies. They aren't so hard
to make, either, when you once know
how. But you must follow directions
closely. for Judges can cut up the most
unusual and extraordinary antics. II
not made exactly right they will crum-
BILE or refuse to harden. Here is a
good recipe and 1t won't fail you: Take
three cups of granulated sugar, one
cup Of sweet milk and two squares of
the best chocolate, which, of course,
must be grated; let these boil for
eleven minutes; just before the time is
up add piece of butter the size OF
a walnut. Fudges must be stirred
constantly, and when removed from
the fire should be beaten briskly until
they harden; then Spread on a butter
ed platter, cut into small squares and
set out of doors to cool; If nuts are
added they should be chopped and put
into the sirup when it is taken off the
stove; English walnuts or peeans are
best. There's only one trouble about
Judges. They look SO .appetizing that
you can't wait for them to cool. And
they taste so good that they don't last
any time at all. By the time they're
done they're eaten. and every one

The cost OF the las- census as "a" as
computed is stated at an aggregate of
$11, 553, 462 so, that amount OF money
having been appropriated for expenses
by Congress. 1t is pointed out by the
Philadelphia Record that 'this was at
the rate of nineteen cents per capita
for the whole population in 1890 Of
81, ,622, go persons. If the statistics
obtained had been of reasonable &C.
curacy, and if they could have been
tabulated and given to the public in
reasonable time, the expenditure
would not have been deemed exces-
sive. But doubt of the verify of the
statistics and delay in the publication
have gone far to bring the propriety of
such large expenditure into question.
Either inquiry should be less elaborate
or more scientific"

vitality of the "Life plant"

There is creeping moss found in
the islands of Jamaica, Barbados and
other parts of the West Indies, known
as the ''life plant" Its power of vi
tality is beyond that of any other
member OF the vegetable kingdom. 1t
is absolutely indestructible by any
means except immersion in boiling
water or the application of a red-hot
iron. 1t may be cut up and divided
in any manner, and the smallest
shreds will throw out roots, grow and
form buds. The leaves of this ex-
traordinaryplant have been suspended
in the air of dry room, they have
been placed in a close, air-tight box,
without moisture of any sort, and still
they grow. Even when pressed and
packed away in botanist's herbarium
it has been known to grow. Ever
green leaves sometimes remain on the
tree for several years; for instance, in
the Scotch pine, three or four years;
ile spruce and silver fir, six or seven
years; the yew, eight; Ables pinsapo,
sixteen or seventeen Bits.

Record.



Few scientific prejudices have been
more difficult to overcome than that
which removes from animals the rea-
soning faculty, and probably many
years Will elapSe before it will be rec
ognized that all animals which come
under ordinary observation are en-"
dowed with the same kind of faculty,
although developed in various degrees
OF a descending scale, which distin-
CUISINES man and the so-called higher
organisms. The bee and ant have been
frequently held up as the best expon-
ents of the instinct class, and more
recently of the exceptional" animals
which developed reasoning powers. 1t
was a rude shock, not only to the lay
man, but as well TO the scientist, when
Sir John Lubbock, as the result of an
almost endless series of experiments,
announced few years ago that these
animals were sadly wanting" both
in their instructive and intellectual
traits. In other words, there were
many times when both instinct and in
telligence erred for them. Some most
remarkable instances of the erring OF
instinct among insects have recently
been noted by naturalists and they add
an interesting chapter to the physiol-
ogy of sense. One of these was the
case of butterfly, which persisted in
visiting the artificial flowers on
lady's bonnet, mistaking them for the
natural product. Another, and per-
haps more striking, instance of fault
is noted by the distinguished French
entomologist, M. r. Blanchard, and
concerns species of sphinx moth,
which entered hotel room in the half
obscurity of early morning and was
found to fit with direct intent to def
mite paris of the walls and ceiling.
These were decorated with paintings
of leaves and flowers and to the latter
the insect approached in repeated at
tacks, thrusting forward it's proboscis
as though intent upon intruding it
into the opened cups of the beguiling
flowers After repeated failures and
the resulting encouragement the eff
fort was given up and the sphinx es-
capped by the window.

While there is no doubt, states the
New York Observer, that dissatisiac-
tion with the pretcnsions of the en-
pecor and with his methods of govern
ment is a potent cause of the preva-
lent discomfort in Germany, the fact
remains that the chief cause of unrest
is economic rather than political. 1t
is not so much the suppression OF ro-
litical liberty end the reactionary leg
islation which the Junker following Of
the emperor is trying to push through
the Prussian Landtag and in turn
through the Reichstag, that ezcites
discomfort, as it is the poverty of the
people, the fact that there is not
enough wealth to go round. The in
ternal Development of Germany
and the expansion of German trade
since the formation of the empire have
been so great that it is difficult to re-
Alize that the empire rests upon an in
adequate economic basis, and that the
brave front which it shows serves to
hide poverty in some sections ap.
preaching that, though without the
squalor, of the English industrial dis
tricts seventy years ago. But statis-
tics taken from the tax returns of
Prussia seem conclusive on this point,
showing, for example, that although
the limit Of taxation is drawn at the
low income Of $225, but s. 46 per cent.
OF the population of the kingdom pay
an income tax, leaving more than
ninety-one per cent. who must make
ends meet in some way on less than
1925 per year. Only one person in
every $50 of population has an income
of S2400 year, and only $1,000 of tho
$4,000, 900 of Prussia possess wealth
representing an income of $500 a
rear.

Tor twenty years William H. Jerola-
men, of Morristown, n. j., was silent
in his home. He made VOW never
to speak to his wife again and kept it
until death faced him One morning
he woke up to find that pneumonia
had laid its grip upon him. He was
eighty years old and he felt that he
could not recover. Then he broke
the oath, spoke to his wife, kissed her
and died. Upon the day he took sick
lie sent for the woman whose love he
had spurned for so many years. His
wife bent over him with love that all
his harshness had never killed. He
saw the light in her eyes, and, feebly
essaying to take her hand, he sobbed:
Dear, Tin SO sorry. Will you for
give me?"
Forgive him? Would she? Kneeling
by the dying mans beside she wept
softly, while he, with tongue freed at
last, rambled on deliriously about old
times. She did not leave him until
the end came. He died with his hand
in hers and look of happiness that
his face had not borne in twenty years.
The quarrel occurred back in the
'70s over trihing affair. At that time
Jerolamen was fifty-eight years old.
He kept his vow and lived on, utterly
ignoring the woman who had shared
his joys and sorrows so long. They
lived in cottage at Mount Arlington,
Morris County, but, us far as Jerola-
mer was concerned, il was as if his
wifi" was not living. She bore the
slight without murmur. He dired
in silence and alone, and so did she.
Often Mrs. Jerolamen had to speak to
her husband in reference TO household
affairs, but he never answered. He
was church member, being one Of
the organizers of the Mount Arlington
Methodist Episcopal Church. In
1874 the town was divided on the
question of prohibition. The old man
tried to induce the members of the
church to indorse the cold-water
ticket at the town election, but they
refused. He swore that be would
never go to church again. He kept
his word in this as he had toward his
wife.-Chicago Tribune.
