The Vanishing Weasel,

As / lay stretched on the bank at the
foot Of a great maple I saw a weasel
run along in the brush fence some dis
lance away. A few seconds later he was
standing or the exposed root of the tree
hardly a yard from my eyes. I lay mo-
tionless and examined the beautiful
creature infinitely, till suddenly I found
myself staring at the smooth, greenish
gray root Of the maple. with no weasel
in sight.
Judging from my own experience, I
should say that this is the usual termi-
nation of any chance observations of Ell
ther weasels or minks. Occasionally
they may be seen to dart into the bushes
or behind some log or projecting bank,
but much more frequently they vanish
with a suddenness that defies the keen
est eyesight. In all probability this van
ishing is accompanied by extreme rapid
ity Of motion, but if this is the case
then the creature succeeds in doing
something utterly impossible to any
other warm blooded animal of it's size.
Mice. squirrels and some of the small.
er birds are all of them swift enough at
times. but except in the case of the
humming bird none of them, I believe,
succeeds in accomplishing the result
achieved by the weasels. Popular

There can be no doubt that the war
indemnity paid by France to Germany
after the six weeks war, was a BOOM
erang to score up against Bismarck.
The good it did to France is inestimable.
Prior to the wal there was an enormous
amount of money locked up in the form
Of small savings. The appeal of the gov
eminent to the people set this sum into
profitable motion. and. to the amaze
ment of the world, France paid off her
creditor in less than half the stipulated
time. This gave a vast impulse to bust
ness enterprise Of all kinds, and since
then France has steadily become more
wealthy. In Germany the effects were
less beneficial. The huge influx of gold
sent up prices with a rush. A mania
for speculation set in, followed by the
inevitable crisis. Most serious of all,
however, was the unexpected discovery
of Frances strength. Bismarck intend
ed to cripple her forever, but he only
revealed her immense power, and this,
of course, necessitated the gigantic mill
tary burdens which year by year weigh
more heavily upon Germany.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

The First SILK Hat.

An old journal. dated Jan. 16. 1897.
gives the following amusing account of
the wearing of the first silk hat in
London: John Hetherington, haber.
dasher, Of the Strand. was arraigned be-
fore the lord mayor yesterday on a
charge or breach of the peace and in
citing to riot, and was required to I;ve
bonds in the snm of $500. 1t was in
evidence that NJ: Hetherington. who is
well connected, appeared on the public
highway wearing upon his head what
he called a silk hat (Which was offered
in evidence), a tall structure having a
shiny ulster and calculated to brighten
timid people.
"As a matter of fact the officers of
the crown stated that several women
tainted at the unusual sight, while
children screamed, dogs yelped, and a
younger son of Cordwainer Thomas,
who was returning from a chambers
shop, was thrown down by the crowd
which had collected and had his right
arm broken. For these reasons the de-
PENDANT was seized by the guards and
taken before the lord mayor. In extenu-
alton of his crime the defendant claim
ed that he had not violated any law of
the kingdom, but vas merely exercising
a right to appear in a headdress of his
W design-a right not denied to any

"CARTHAGINiAN OF NAME"
How Hannibal Hamlin Won the Title
In the Maine L~eHinlature.


Among the many stories of Hamlin's
early experiences in the Maine legis-
lature none is more animated than his
tilt with John Holmes, interesting. be-
sides. because it gives the origin Of
''the Carthaginian of Maine,' a name
that stuck to Hamlin through life.
Holmes had been in the United States
senate, and at this particular time,
writes General Hamlin, a member of
the state house CT representatives. was
~endeavoring to domineer over it.
Hamlin disputed the leadership with
him, and Holmes attempted to crush
his young opponent by coarsely ridicul-
ing his swarthy complexion. Instantly
Hamlin jumped to his feet and, point
ing his finger at Holmes, retorted: ''If
the gentleman chooses to find fault
with me for my complexion. what has
he to say about himself? l take my
complexion from. nature. He gets his
from the brandy bottle. Which is more
honorable ''This retoyt was greeted
with great applause and cries CT &c
on!'
Hamlin then continued, pointing his
finger at Holmes: II will also tell the
member from Alfred that he is more
conspicuous for trying to run dryshod
over young men than for trying to en-.
courage them. But as long as they are
true to themselves and to nature and as
long as the member from Alfred sticks
to the brandy bottle they need not fear
him. AS soon as the cheers Of the
house could be sufficiently silenced
Holmes retracted his words and made q
manly apology. 1.-THE young Cartha-
gilman routed the old Roman" was one
humorous comment on the incident,
and from that time Hamlin was thus
frequently characterized. Lewiston
