The main strength of republican in- stitutiOns in France to-day is the con- feSsed weakness of the claimants to the throne. The French people themselves that is, the peasantry-do not care particularly whether the government under which the live is monarchical or democratic in form. They are content with either so long as 1t is stable and they are protected in the pursuit of their business. But neither of the men who would profit by a change of gov ernment has the confidence or the re- spect of the French people and they have not that of their personal follow CTS, except such as expect to gain some advantage by the success of their mas ters. Of the two the Napoleonic line has the least hold upon the people. The head of the family, Prince Victor, is a descendant of Jerome, a brother of the first emperor, and certainly the most unpopular one of the family. There has not been one of the family since Napoleon the Great who has merited the entire respect of the French people and the descendants have grown less manly the farther removed they were from the parent stock.

TO FISH TRIBE
Science Claims that Human Reinga

Science Claims that Human Reings
 Once So Belonged.
 Did you know that there are many natives in the East that have webbed hands? They are coast residents of Malaga and the South Sea Islands. This proves to scientists that men or iginally belonged to the fish tribe. Ev- cry person has dominant gills and fins, some more pronounced than others. The birds occupy a different depart ment of natural history all to them selves. There is nothing about a man that descended from bird life. On either side of the neck is q dormant gill. It is a muscle standing upright and hardly perceptible. The fins are muscles on the back and sides of the body in about the same position they occupy on fishes. Men who habit the water a great deal more than others have these muscles abnormally devel- Oped. The scales of the human body, while smaller and of an epithelium eX- traction. are exact reproductions of the scales of the fish. In brief, my dear sir, it is claimed on high scientific au- thority that your ancestors were very lishy, but science never was great re- spectOr of delicate sensibilities.

The "I.etter Gae."

The leader of psalmody, or precsntor. in the church of Scotland used to read from his desk in front of the pulpit the successive lines for congregational sing ing. He was the ''letter gae''-i. G., he that let go or started the praise-and his desk was called the ''letteron" (lec- trinum). Pitching his voice to the first note of each line. he proceeded to chant the words in a slow, drawling mono tone, prolonging the last syllable for little and then breaking at the head of the congregation into the music set to the words thus delivered The effect of this would no doubt be frequently moro curious and entertaining than edifying and solemn, and strange developments must occasionally have occurred. The position tested not only the musical qualifications, but also the literary at- tainments of the leader, and there are passages in the metrical version of the Psalms as used in Scotland which must have put rural precentors on their met tie.

A RIt of Ribbon.

A London paper tells this story of the final signing of the Spanish-American peace treaty: livery diplomatic instru- ment bears a seal from which depends a ribbon, and when the seal was about to be affixed to the treaty the commission CTS. both of Spain and America, ex- pressed a desire. in graceful acknowl edgment of the courtesy shown by France, that the dependent ribbon should be tricolOred. Search was forth with made high and low in the Quai d Orsay. with the result that in the for eign office of the French republic not a bit of ribbon of the French colors could be found.
 ''At this critical juncture a brilliant inspiration flashed across one of the heads of the department. 'Go. he said to a messenger 'to NJ. X--. the con- fectioner, i'll the Rue St. Honore, for pound of chocolate cakes and be sure you ask him to tie them up with a tri- color ribbon. With that bit of confeci tioner' ribbon the treaty of peace be- tween Spain and the United States was sealed.

That portion of the agricultural ap. propriation bill adopted by the Fifty fifth Congress which promises the most far-reaching results in the way of ad' vancing the interests of profitable hus. bandry in this country is the item which appropriates $35,000 for ''an in. vestigation of irrigation methods in the United States and other countries. '" When the bill was first reported it re stricted the investigation to the United States, but fortunately this restriction was eliminated in conference commit tee. The Agricultural Department will now be enabled to study the great irri- gation systems of Europe, such as the British system that has made tillable and productive vast areas in Egypt. The United States, however, has al. ready made phenomenal progress in the reclamation of arid lands in California, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona and other Western States. Millions of barren acres have been made fruitful through the various systems of irrigation, through Federal and State appropria- tions, as well as through private enter prise. The schemes already in opera ton for carrying water to barren lands are diminutive, however, compared to the monster irrigation project now on foot for reclaiming what Is known as the Arizona desert" To carry out this colossal engineering enterprise the greatest storage reservoir in the world is to be constructed in the mountains, about sixty miles northeast of Phoenix. In this reservoir will be stored the win ter floods, to be drawn from as needed during the summer months and sold to the irrlgating canal companies now do- ing business in the Salt River Valley and by them distributed to farmers, who will pay certain amount per acre per annum. It is estimated that enough water Is wasted from Salt River each winter to irrigate 100000 acres if stored and properly distributed. For this purpose the United States Govern ment has granted the canal company the use of the Tonto basin, to be used as a storage reservoir, which will be converted into lake covering eighteen square miles, and from which the wa ter will be conveyed through the chan mel of Salt River. The result of this gigantic irrigation project will attract Ihe attention of engineers all over the world,

It Is called the age Of the humani- ties. True it is that organized benev- olence now exceeds by far anything ever before known. The "loveless world" of the Caesars, ir which not a hospital, not an asylum, as we under stand such institutions, was anywhere on earth. has been succeeded by what In contrast might be called literally a loving world. Even animals are pro- tected from needless pain. Cruelty is certainly in all civilized countries counted the one undebated infidelity. It is unbearable 4 tale of cruelty in the press is sufficient to excite universal protest and a sure fighting. Though in small ways we may cause each other needless pain by gossip. by envy and jealousy, for instance, yet never as now was the gentleman required to be gentle, never was a deed of kindness such a passport to social honor.

Simple Calculation.

There is very simple rule for finding the average number of years which per sons of any given age may expect to live. If the present age be deducted from so, two-thirds of the remainder is the answer required. The result is not absolutely accurate, but it is near enough. For instance, a man aged 20 might, by this rule. expect to live 40 years longer, which is just what the latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the expectation of life works out at nearly 2T years, while the tables give it as over 9 years. At 60 the above rule allows just over 13 years, and the tables show a little less.

NO ROOM 10 LIVE
In London, Even for a Workingman

In London, Even for WorkinSman
 with Sufficient Money.
 One evening not long ago there came to the gates of South London work house a nOrth-country mechanic, with his wife and three children. The man wore a pained and worried look, the woman seemed about to faint and two of the children cried.
 "For heavens sake, let my wife and children come in," says the man to the porter at the gate. "Pll pay for their keep if you'll give them shelter. We've been tramping the streets for miles hereabout since 10 o'clock this morn ing, but can't find house or rooms to let at any price,"
 Its against the regulations" says the poor law official.
 Then, what on earth am I to do? I've just got good job in this district, to start on Monday. We travelled to London by the night train, thinking We might get house the first thing in the morning, as l was prepared to pay decent rent; but though we've spent all the day searching, we can't find room anywhere. All day long my wife has been taking one side of a street and the other, while the children waited at the corner We would have gone into tenements or apartments anywhere. but not solitary room Is to be had. AS it grew dark, in our despair, we went to the police station, and they ad- viSed me to bring the wife and children to the workhouse till such time as 1 could find place outside"
 But we've no room to spare here, either" says the gate porter. "Why, we've already got nearly two hundred more people than the house is certified for. Still, If the police sent you, SUD- pose you must be admitted"
 So the man parted with his wife and children at the wOrkhOuse gate, spent the night In a common lodging house himself. the whole of Sunday in fur ther futile search, but it was not until a full fortnight had gone by. during which he paid for his wife'S and bairns' keep in the wOrkhOuse, that he found place to take them to. Then it was not a house, as he desired, but to tene- ments; not near his work, as he want ed, but two miles away.-London News.

It is not the sore place that should be hit in administering a reproOf, but the wrong deed. For the reproof that causes wincing is more likely to pro- yoke anger than amendment. Lord PalmerstOn, while Minister of Foreign Affairs, had a go0d-natured way of giving reproofs when he did not mean to be severe. "Put little more starch into your neckclOth, my dear Dash, " he said to a diplomatist who he thought did not hold his head high enough at the court where the minister represent ed Great Britain. A witty repartee often serves as the courteous bearer of a reproof. "I can't find bread for my family" said lazy fellow. 'Nor I,"' replied an industrious miller. "I am obliged to work for it." Zeno, the Stole philosopher, remonstrated with certain of his scholars for extravaganza. They excused themselves by saying that they were rich enough to indulge in prod igality. Would you," retorted Zeno, "excuse cook who should oversalt his meat because he had superabundance of salt?'

The Lily and the Ancients.

Most everybody has observed the strange characteristic of the water lily bud opening it's petals at sunrise and closing them again at sunset. It was for this reason mainly that the ancients held the water lily sacred to the sun. Pliny says: Tt is reported that in the Euphrates the flower of the lotus plunges into the water at night, re- maining there till midnight, and to such a depth that it cannot be reached with the hand. After midnight it be- gins gradually to rise, and as the sun rises above the horizon the flower also rises above the water, expands and raises itself some distance above the element in which it grows" It was also through this peculiarity that Han carville proved that the Egyptians con- sidered the lily an emblem of the world as it rose from the waters of the deep. -PittSburg Dispatch.

 A moment later. to the tenants sat isfaction and surprise. frightened hare jumped out of some bushes near by.
 This so impressed the landlord that he at once drove bargain by which he secured the tenant's barebacked beast in exchange for his own fine mount, perfectly saddled. With much agility the tenant leaped to his new horse. and all went we'll until they came to 8 small stream. whereat the landlords new nag immediately baked A drive home with the spurs brought it again to its knees
