 The American minister will be compelled to hire an elaborate home in Buda-Pesth and to keep 1t open all the year round, even in his absence. for the legation house can never be closed. This will entail the hiring of a double set of servants and the keeping of them.
 If the minister to Austria-Hungary Is raised to the rank of ambassador his salary will probably be raised also; so that he will receive $12,000 instead of the $10,000, which he now enjoys. Possibly he may be given $17,OO0, like the ambassadors to France. Germany and Great Britain. but 1t Is more than likely that he will receive the $12,0O0 accorded to Ambassador Draper in Italy.

A Comedy of Errors,

There was an accident on a Portland street the other day, and this is how 1t happened: A tramp walking up. the street saw a benevolent-looking wheel man riding down, and started to head him off. Just then a dog on the same side Of the street noticed a cat on the opposite side and made for it. The dog didn't notice the tramp, and the wheelman took no account of the dog. The result was that the dog went be- tween the legs of the tramp and rolled that individual over on his bat The wheelman struck dog and tramp and took header over them. The wheel man struck frantically at the dog and his blow landed on the nose of the tramp, while the Cog made an assault on the tramp, and, missing him, made life exciting for the wheelman At last they untangled themselves and the tramp and the wheelman trailed bad language one up and the other down the street, while the dog stood and growled at both. Meanwhile the cat emerged from a hole in the lumber pile where she had taken ref and watched the three with evident inter- est.-Lewiston Journal.

A Youthful Master ot Finance.

One of the cadets of a northwestern military academy, but who lives In Chicago, has convinced his father that he Is destined to a brilliant business career It is all owing to a letter that the young man wrote short time ago
 It appears that the father had prom ised the boy he should have any sort of a watch he wa ed at the close or the present. school term. Nothing
 more was heard about the watch until the fat! er received letter that ran about like this: Dear Father: ---I have been looking at watches lately and have decided that the kind, want will cost yoh about $350, As watch of this value is hardly of the sort for a boy of 15 to carry, and as will not need watch till after leave school, J wish to make this suggestion: Prob ably you are hard up and do not wish to spend $350 for a watch at this time. Four years from now, when leave school watches will be cheaper. and 1t is likely that you can then buy the same watch for $50. Now the interest on $35O for four years (simple inter est-I am willing to let you have the benefit of the compound) at per cent will be sS4. If you will send me the ss4 now you need not buy the watch till after I leave school. In this way you will have the use of the $266 for four years, and at the end of that time the watch will only cost you $150; $15o plus sS4 is $2S4, or s116 less than what the watch will cost you now. So. you see. by this plan you will make q clear profit on this transaction Of s1i6- Your loving son. EDDY.

 New Orleans Times-Democrat: T used to know a man. said New Or leans bohemian, who made a living writing stories of travel for boys. He had never been out of Missouri in his life, but he was famous for the graphic fidelity of his description of foreign lands. His reference library consisted of exactly three works: An encyclope dla a set of United States consular re- ports, covering four or five years, and a copy of Woods Natural History If the scene of the story was to be laid for instance. in Borneo, he would be- gin by reading the Borneo article in the encyclopedia; then he would turn to the consular reports and look up all the odd and interesting matter he could find touching that particular island, and finally he would get a description of it's animals from Woods He wrote at an old table on which was glued map of the world. covered with sheet of glass. This was constantly before his eyes. so he couldn't go astray on geography. and, as I said before, his descriptions were margels of accuracy. He could draw better and more re- alistic peA picture of foreign countries than travellers themselves. People thought that he had been great globe trotter. and, crazy as it sounds. be- lieve he actually got to thinking so himself. The last time saw hir. he talked about Afghanistan in the easy off-hand vein of personal observer.

TO LEARN A LANGUAGE.
How to Get tho Meaning of Words With
out 8 Dictionary,

How to Get tho Meaning of Words With
out 8 Dictionary.
Some students begin a language for
the mere love of knowing foreign
tongues; others acquire them either for
professional purposes or with the aim
Of gaining access to foreign literatures.
But whatever be the motive, the Bos-
ton Herald suggests that it is well to
set out with some knowledge of the sci
ence of language-some insight into the
relations of languages to one another
some grasp of the theories of modern
scholars about the origin and develop
ment of speech.
To learn language without knowing
anything of the science of language is
like acquiring the arto putting up cleo
trio fixtures without any knowledge of
the principles of electrical science.
To approach it, on the other hand,
from the standpoint of universal princi-
pies is to make the study of it easier
and progress in any particular tongue
much more rapid.
By knowing, for example, the laws of
consonantal interchange we may often
discover the meanings of words without
being obliged to refer for them to the
dictionary. In this way every new Ian
guage learned makes more easy the nc-
quirement of other tongues of the same
or of all allied stocks.

LIKE AND DISLIKE.


We divide everything in this
life into three great classes, that
which. we like, that which we
dislike and that to which we are
Indifferent. We like our friends,
dislike our enemies, and TO the
great world outside we are indif-
ferent. In our observations, our
stduies, our reading, in every
thing, we find that these classes
are well defined, and to save us
we couldn't tell why we like one
thing and dislike another, except
that one is agreeable and the
other disagreeable TO us. These
feelings are born in US and are
manifested at the very earliest
period of our existence, and grow
as we grow. In other words, we
are all prejudiced. The man
without prejudices does not exist.
These feelings, like and dislike.
were created in us for very BEN
efcent purposes, are subject to
cultivation, and make for good or
evil, as they are cultivated. They
were placed in our soul, and are
first principles of it, so that we
would like the good, the beauti-
full and the true, and dislike that |
which is bad, ugly and false. But
they were not placed there to
foster prejudice, rather to lis.i-
pate it. Using our likes and dis
likes TO foster prejudices, is the
way IN which we pefvert them. |
And we should dislike what is
ugly, bad and false, when it is
50 from choice. but should not
dislike t when IN the nature of
things i could net be otherwise.

An English View of Wheat.

Summarizing the wheat outlook
abroad, the London StattSt says that
the European importing countries will
require minimum quantity of $4,000
zoo quarters whereas last season 49,.
100000 quarters would have sulIleed, a.
though, as a matter of fact, consider,
ably, more than this has been imported
the stocks and reserves being in con-
sequence increased. Seeing how de-
ticient the supplies from Russia and
Romania are likely to be, it is difficult
to believe that the countries outside
America will be able to supply 2OOO0,-
600 quarters, which would leave 90 OOo-
GOO quarters to be obtained from the
United States, in addition to the
100000 quarters which America every
year has to find for European coun-
tries. In other words, America, with
crop estimated at 55OO0OOOO bushels
as compared with 7OO,0OO,O0O bushels
last year, will be looked to for q SIM
ply of 2l5,0O0,000 bushels as a crop of
S0o,oOOOO0 bushels leaves a surplus of
only 100000 bushels, the balance of
100000 bushels will have to come out
OF the reserves of old wheat carried
forward, which reserves are believed
to be about 100000 bushels larger
than at this time last year. The gen.
eral outlook for next season therefore
Is that there will be considerably less
wheat available than in the past season
although plenty for all requirements,
and that, therefore, the power of FIX
ing prices will be more in the hands of
holders than has been the case in 1898. |
