A Floating Snail.

There Is Il small snail which is SO
fond of the sea that 1t never comes to
land. and it builds such a capital boat
for itself and its eggs that while large
ships arc sinking and steamers are un-
able to face the storm it tosses about
In perfect safety.
The little snail Is of violet color
and is therefore called lanthina 1t
has a small shell and there projects
from the under part of the body a
long. tOngue-like piece OF flesh. This
is the raft, and t is built upon most
scientific principles, for it has COM
partments Cor air. 1t Is broad and
the air compartments are underneath.
so that It cannot capsiZe.
Moreover, the snail knows how to
stow away its cargS. for the oldest
eggs and those which hatch the soon
est are placed in the center and the
lightest and newest on the sides of the
raft. The Ianthina fills its own air
compartments by getting n globule of
air underneath its head. the body is
then curved downward beneath the
raft. and. the head being tilted on one
side. the air ruShes in and fills tho
spaces. 1t feeds on a beautiful LITTLE
jelly fish, which has fiat. raft-like
form with II pretty little sail upon it,

TREATY BEFORE CABINET.
Document is Read By the President and
His Advisers.

A Washington special says: The
president at the cabinet meeting Tues
day laid before his advisers the copy
of the peace treaty which was brought
to him on Saturday night.
This is the first time the cabinet ms
a body has seen the document, and it
took over an hour for the reading.
Senator Frye and Senator Davis, the
two members of the peace commission,
spent some time with the president
Tuesday afternoon going over and ex-
planning the various sections of the
treaty. These views the president
gave to his cabinet officers, and after
the reading il was decided that the
treaty should be sent to the senate
next week. Congress assemblies after
its holiday recess on Wednesday. Jan
uary 4, and the treaty will be in the
hands of the senate before that body
adjourns on Saturday.
Senator Frye, in his interview,
clearly shows that the treaty does not
commit this government in any way as
t" the disposition and government of
the Philippines. The whole matter is
left in the hands of congress, and he
says:
Congress can make any disposition
OF the islands 1t sees fit The ratitica-
tion of the treaty will not in any way
curtail our privileges in this direc-
ton"

Tho Union Company Makes Arrangements
to Buy Out Liggett q Myers.
The New York Tribune says that
Colonel Wetmore, president of the
Liggett and Myers Company, and ex-
Governor Stone. of Missouri, counsel
for the company, who were in the city
the past week in conference with lead
ing interests in the Union Tobacco
Company, during their stay practical
~ completed arrangements for the sale
OF their company to the Union Tobac-
co Company, and that a meeting of
stockholders OF the Liggett and Myers
Company, at which they will be pres
ent, will be held in st. Louis to ratify
the transaction.
The Union Tobacco Company was
incorporated at Albany on October
25th, it's authorized capital being S12,-
600, 900 common and $l2, ,O00,O 900 non
cumulative 6 per cent preferred stock.
Its president is William H. Butler,
formerly director of the American
Tobacco Company, and the controlling
interest in its stock is owned by Thos.
F. Ryan, p. A. B. Widener. w. l..
Elkins and Thomas Dolan. 1t has
been the announced policy Of the COM
pany to conduct a general tobacco
manufacturing business while not max
ing warfare upon any other concern,
although prepared to meet the compe-
tition of any and all rivals.
The first step of the new corporation
was to obtain control of the National
Cigarette and Tobacco company, which
manufactured several we'll known
brands of cigarettes, and to secure ex-
elusive rights for using the Baron
cigarette machine in the United States
and Canada. Toward the middle of
this month the Union Tobacco COM
pany bought the entire capital stock
of the we'll known Blackwell's Durham
company, manufacturers of smoking
tobacco, at Durham, n. G..
With the acquisition of the Liggctt
and Myers Company it will enter also
the plug tobacco field, as the company
is one of the largest plug tobacco man
ufacturing concerns in the country
The chief rival of the Union Tobacco
Company i'll the making of cigarettes
Is, of course, the American Tobacco
Company, and its principal competitor
In the manufacture of plug tobacco
will be the Continental Tobacco Com
pany, which was Incorporated at Tren-
ton on December 10th, with capital
of S75, 1000, 900, and to which the
American Tobacco Company has
transferred all its plug tobacco bust

Hungarian Kings Scattered BoneA

The lot of the Kings Of Hungary
was doubtless happier during their
checkered lifetime than after their de-

bones of n score Of them were found
lying about lumber-room in Stuhl-
wcisenburg. They had been removed,
nobody knows when and why, from
their original resting place. and the
story goes that student with less
reverence and patriotism than medical
zeal bribed the keeper to commit sew

PATHETIC. YET LuDIcpous
A Deaf and Dumb Fathers Punishment Of
Bad Boy.

IT witnessed something the other
day that made me feel bad, and at the
same time there was laughable
phase to the affair."" remarked a Den
yer resident.
"out few doors from where I live,
deaf and dumb couple have been
living for several years, and seem to
get along with their neighbors better
than any of us. The husband has
good employment and the wife is "A
frugal and prudent woman; so, taking
everything into consideration, they
have gotten quite n nice little home
for themselves and some money ahead.
But they have one thing that is not
credit to them, and that thing is in
the shape Of great big. overgrown
boy, that Is one of the meanest evil
dences of humanity on earth. Some
day, IL he is not checked, the hangman
will get him, but that has nothing to
do with the story.
II was passing by the house yester-
day morning, and 1 noticed that the
old man was angry at the
boy. Now, the latter can talk and hear
as we'll as anybody, and rather seems
gether and then cursing the old man,
just SO the other boys will laugh This
time, however, the old man was mad.
and did not propose to allow his way
ward boy to have his own way. Just
as l was passing he motioned me to
stop. and then, pulling his hand from
behind him, brought to light what
shone out In grand style as a newly
purchased rawhide. Then I knew
there was going to be some fun, and I
walked inside the yard. Well, sir. he
grabbed that boy, nearly as large as
he was, jerked him into n half upright
position and then began laying on the
leather. The boy began to swear and
use language that would shock any
neighDorhood, but Of course the father
did not hear a word of IT.
The father quit a second, and then
coming over to where 1 was standing.
took out his pencil and paper and ask
ea me IN line or two to tell him
what the son said. I wrote ont thp
brutal swear words just as l heard
them. He read the words as wrote
them down. and then, fairly shaking
with rage, returned to the boy and be.
gan anew the work. 1t was fully ten
minutes before thar boy was conquer.

on slip Of paper when they suggested

VIEW OF AN EXPERT.

The following excerpt from an ar
ticlc by Mr.. Clement III. Congdon in
the Wilmington (Del. Sun is a for
chile expression of some very appar-
ent truths. Mr. Congdon's views
have received the endorsement of
many of the largest business houses
of the East. In commencing his ut
terances these great concerns, in
many instances attribute their sue
cess largely to iudicous, persistent
and heavy advertising. Mr.. Cong
don says;
"The most enterprising merchant
in city is generally the man sought
by large concerns requiring local
representatives. The most enter
prising merchant is invariably the
largest advertiser. This recognition
as the most enterprising merchant
in town, or the most successful
dealer in the place is a valuable as
set. 1t gives this man increased
credit abroad and added importance
at home. The reputation of being
the heaviest advertiser in town is
now very generally accepted by the
public as Indicating the possession
of large capital. This may not al
ways be the case, but in estimating
the financial condition of man the
fact of his doing considerable adver
tising, and, necessarily, consider
able business, are regarded as points
in his favor. This is only one of
the many usually unconsidered tri-
fles that 90 to make liberal, we'll
planned advertising profitable in
vestment.'
There is no gainsaying the truth
Of these pertinent words. Take any
town or city in the land. Begin {
right at home. The heaviest adver-
Users are the most successful busi-
ness men.
Their names are household words.
Their goods always find a ready
sale. As for those who do not ap-
preciate printers ink, their success
is usually indifferent and more often
they do not succeed. Heavy ad-
vertising always pays.-Evanville
Courier.
