GREAT NEWSPAPER FEAT.
Here In an Instance Proving That .
Large Number OF Them Cam
De Believed. &C.,.

' Nobody believes q word that he
reads in the newspapers"
This is the remark which, was made
by prominent Lost oman at public
dinner a few weeks ago. says The Bos-
ton Journal. 1t is hardly worth MOTTO
ing. it so utterly lacks sense and dis
elimination. but a striking event has
happened since it was spoken which
should check similar foo...h remarks
from leaving the lips of those who at
tribute dishonest journalism to honest
papers.
Commodore Dewey won a brilliant
victory on the other side of the world
one Sunday morning. and on Monday
morning every home in America was
told about it. His name was upon
everybody'S lips. his picture before all
eyes. praises for his men in every con-
versation. 1t was all the work Of 1.-THE
newspapers"
The president, the navy department
and the board Of naval strategy had
not n word about the battle except
what "the newspapers" told them.
Monday went BY. and Tuesday and
Wednesday and Thursday. and at the
close Of the working week there was
still no information except what "the
newspapers" gave. Congress was de-
lighted and the plans Of tho war were
advanced. as the victory war':" 90, ~.
Yet the United States COVE :."i.,

Mr.. w. J. Spratley thinks there can
be no doubt that the Egyptian soldiers
in ancient times went into the battle 10

Many persons who suffer indiges-
zion from eating melons as a refresh
ing appetizer" in the morning will
find that no unpleasant results follow
their use as breakfast dessert. To
the most minimizing it should be APP
parent that introducing cold mass
into the stomach before eating must
necessarily reduce its temperature be-
low that required for digestion. There
are stomaehs hardy enough to endure
this treatment, but people should dis
abuse themselves of the idea that it
is the proper and healthful thing to
DO in all cases. Anyone who is fond
Of melons will find them as palatable
after the Introduction Of warm food
into the stomach as before, aud gem
orally the result will be more satisfac-
Tory in the avoidance of any undue
lax ON the digestive organs.

PLOT FOR a NOVEL.



A novelist in Boston--do not laugh.
there are novelIsts In Boston, yes. and
actually living here-sald to us the
other day. IF could only find a plotr'
Here is a plot for him free Of charge,
and the story is a true one:
In 1873 a iady-a real lady-came
Into Birmingham. England, with
handsome equlpagc, and desired the
landlord of the Inn to get her htis-
band, being determined to marry some
body or other before she left the town.
The man bowed. and supposed her la
dyship TO be In facctious humor. but
being made sensible how much she was
in earnest. he went out in search Of
man that would marry a fine lady
without asking questions. After many
repulses from poor fellows who were
not desperate enough for such a ven
ture, he met with an excise man, who
said he could not be In worse condl-
ton than he was,' and accordingly
went with the innkeeper and made
tender Of himself, which was all he
had 10 testow on the lady, who imme.
dlately went with him to one who gave
them n license and made them man
and wife. on which the bride gave her
spouse goo, and without more delay
left the town and the bridegroom to
find out who she was or unrlddle this
strange adventure. Soon after she was
gone two gentlemen came into the
town in full pursuit Of her; they had
traced her so far upon the road, and.
finding the inn where she had put up,
they examined into all the particulars
Of her conduct, and ON hearing she was
married gave up their pursuit and turn
ed back.
Truly a noble dame. one worthy of a
full length portrait in the gallery con
structcd by Thomas Hardy.
Why did this noble dame offer her
self to the first comer7 And why were
the respectable males Of the town so
backwardf There was no hint Of scan
dial. Who were the pursuers? Did she
wish by one sudden marriage to escape
one deliberately contrived and repug-
nant? Was TIE excise man petty
fellow in spite of his AFFECT condition.
Did she ever see him again? Did she
ever regret that she had not braved
the world and lived with him? Per-
haps the memory Of her apparltlon
haunted him; perhaps 1t reused him to
doughty deeds. It's pity that Mr..
Hardy has not accounted for her action
and her fate with his grim irony.-Bos-
ton Journal

Buttons.

1t Is only in comparatively modern
times that buttons have been utilized
as fasteners. The Greeks and Romans
knew nothing of them, and, though
hey presented themselves as orna-
ments in the fourteenth century, but
ton-holes were still an undreamed-of
possibility. II was not until nearly the
middle Of the last century that the man
1facture of steel buttons was entered

The total annual income OF the impe-

than three and a half million pounds
sterling. Probably the nearest approach
to this revenue Is to be found in the
combined incomes Of the brothers
Rockefeller, the oil kings of America,
which amount to two and half mil
lion pounds. The Austrian imperial
family possesses an estimated annual in
