Why the Negro Is Called "Coon."

Many years ago; when superstition
held greater sway than now and the
influences of the occult and weird were
most potent, cunning negro slave had
acquired the reputation of possessing
a familiar spirit and of being able to
perform many uncanny mysteries. His
fellow slaves held him in great awe,
and even his master grew to a be-
lief in his powers. This finally led to
a wager, in which the greater part of
the masters fortune was staked on the
negro's divining ability. A barrel was
placed on the lawn and a live coon
placed under the barrel. Then the ne
gro sooth-sayer was sent for and told
to inform the crowd what was un-
der the barrel. He tried in va
rious ways to escape the exposure,
but without success. Realizing that
he was cornered, he leaned on the bar
rel dejectedly AID Remarked: "Well,
you've got this old coon at last"
whereupon a great shout applauded
what was considered Sambo's remark
able astuteness and his reputation was
forever firmly Observation-Disclosures

Rockefeller VS.. Washerwoman

Mrs. Mary Yessen is a poor Swedish
woman of Greenwich. Conn.,, who
for ten years has support
ed two daughters by going out and
doing washing. William Rockefeller
Is member of the Standard Oil Trust
and is worth probably $4,000, 900.
When Nicholas Cassidy fell i'll Mrs.
Yessen nursed MIN, and when he died
he bequeathed to her horse and ST.
500 in money. The latter. was to have
been paid to the poor workwoman Dec.
is. But Mrs. Yessen's horse ate grass
in William Rockefeller's pasture, and
William Rockefeller's agent demanded
$3.50 in payment for the same.
I'll pay you when get the money"
said Mrs. Yesson.
n THAT won't do at ALL" said William
Rockefeller's agent. "You must pay
now or suit will be brought against
you"
In pursuance of this threat papers
were served on jeremiah Tierney, ad-
ministrator of the Nicholas Cassidy ,es-
tate, prohibiting him from paying to
Mrs.. Yesson her little legacy until
further orders. A suit has been begun
in the name of William Rockefeller
against the widowed washerwoma1 to
compel her to pay the $3.50 demanded.
By the time that it is decided the
costs will about double the claim.

THE PASSING OF SPAIN.

Stricken Bankrupt and Impotent with
That She Can Never Pay.
SPANS mineral wealth is greater
than that of almost any other Euro
pean country; so per cent of her soil
Is reckoned as productive and her va
ried climate makes possible a great
range of agricultural products, says
the Outlook. There has been no con-
siderable war since the days of Napo-
leon to waste her resources and her
geographical position has SO protected
her that she has been spared the great
expenditures for fleets and standing
armies which other nations have had
10 meet. But, in spite Of all this, she
is today stricken bankrupt and impo-
tent, with debts which she can never
meet, with the highest rate of illit-
eracy in Europe, excepting that of Por-
tugal and the Italian islands Gin 1889,
the latest date for which figures can
De found, us per cent could neither

nope Tor the future which normally
increasing population would give.
From 1860 to 1877 the annual increase
OF population was one-third of 1 per
cent and in the next ten years it
was .one-half Of 1 per cent per annum:
The rate for England for the period
most nearly corresponding TO the last
decade was 11.65. Russia alone with
her vast stretches of arctic steppes to
be taken into account, has a lower av-
erage density of population than Spain.
The latter has but lightweight inhab-
1tants to the square mile; the average
for England is 497. The Spanish. fields
today are vacant, the towns so strange
ly empty that they seem unreal.

An Old Beuuest.

Under an old Dequest, half a guinea
is left for the annual sermon at Ter
rington, in Norfolk, England. Ac-
cording to the London Christian World
nobody went to hear it last year, and
the vicar took the sermon home un-
preached. The trustees refused there
on to pay him the half guinea. This
year the sermon was duly preached,
out the trustees still held back the
half guinea, protesting fear lest, the
vicar himself being a trustee, the pay
ment might be Illegal The vicar sued
Tor guinea, both for last years SER
mon and this, in the Kings Lynn
County Court, and the Judge ordered
the money to be jaid. He only allowed
half a guinea costs, however, on the
ground that the vicar ought to have
preached last year, whether there was
anybody to hear the sermon or not.

Special Police in Japan.

In Japan special policemen may be
employed by any citizen on payment OF
a sum amounting to 81 per month
There are two classes of detectives
those who work solely on state matters
and those who look after criminals.
The superior detectives confine them
selves to political intrigues, the actions
of political organizations, treason, etc.
The majority of them have served as
constables. They never wear a uni
form dress. Their pay is almost the
same as that Of the common policemen
but their expenses are paid, and when
they perform good piece of work they
receive extra compensation. They are
allowed to employ their own assist
ants. These assistants are usually
semi-criminals, ex-convicts, keepers OF
restaurants, brothels, etc, They are al
ways trained athletes and are espe.
cially taught fencing. They rarely &c
