French by real live poet. Altogether
the Russians are booming the visit
with much assiduity.. though rather
clumsily. The mayor of Mglitch alone
declines to part with 80 much as a

MARBLE AND MUD
The Greate.t oontr.r. A. ~ ~
Found in tho MOST Lra-
ur1ant Cities.

Probably in Constantinople. which
has been described as the ~city Of
hovels," there 10 greater contrast be-
tween the public and private buildinvs
than In any other city In the world.
The streets are marrow, tortuous and
dirty, and even the better class Of pri-
vate houses ore mean in comparison
With those Of q similaF, class In other
countries. On the other hand. the
mosques and palaces are magnificent IN
size, design and materials Of construo-
ton, most Of them being Of marble,
white or gray. The seragho is one of
the most splendid buildings In Europe.
Berlin is CLOSE second in this respect,
boasting the finest streets in Europe,
Unter den Linden nnd its public build
ings will compare favorably with those
OF any other capital, but its slums and
tenement houses are squahd and filthy
in the extreme. Another city which Is
close in the running is Lisbon. When
1t was rebuilt after the earthquake the
public buildings were built on scale,
BY no means Justified by the finances
OF the country, while the private build
ings hadgto be erected in accordance
with their orners' means. The contrast
between them is therefore naturally
very striking.

On upper Third avenue. Brooklyn,
two slantreyed Celestials have opened
laundries within few doors OF each

ness rivalry. So close Is the competi-
ton between tho Cinnamon that each
is driven to rather startling efforts In
the way Of advertising With tho pur-
poao in view Of distancing his rival.
Ono day recently, says the New York
Times, the following Inspiration, set
forth in sprawling black letters on q
huge white canvas, appeared outside
tho door OF one Of the rival lamndrdes,
"Ef you are lookin' four clean shirt

Noticing the crowd which his rivals
announcement had attracted about the
ls4ter'R door, and not understanding
wherein lay the force Of the attrao-
ton, tho second laundryman consult-
ed With an Italian cobbler next door,
for whose knowledge OF English he
entertained the most profound respect.
The result was that the following
counter proclamation soon made its
appearance in tho window Of the rival
laundry,

These he threw at the frosen rooster
for an hour without success. and q
good-sized crowd of neighbors stood
about, suggesting ways to get the bird
down. One went and got q revolver
and shot away att for some time, but
the bird still sat there, immovable, it's

THE DAILY TINES has received the
prosperity edition Of the Council Bluffs
Daily Nonpareil, and after . careful
exsmipation of it We think 1t is the
finest edition of a newspaper that has
ever been issued IN the state. The
cover is an illustrated one, showing
Council Bluffs as it was forty years
ago, and ss 1t is TODAY, with the sun
just coming up. The sun is surround-
cd by the following inscription in three
colored letters, "Council Bluffs at the
dawn OF tho 10th century," The work
Is beautifully illustrated with half
tone engravings of the business
houses, manufactures, residences and
scenes in andaround the city. The edi.
tion evidently required great deal of
hard and careful work in its prepera-
tion and speaks volumes for the en-.
terpftse of the New Nonpareil.

A freak of nature was discover

store one day last week. He was
packing eggs when he discovered
an egg with silver dime nicely
lnlaid in the shell. The date on
the dime was 1883, and the ques-
ton is how long did the hen have
the money hiding before she de-
posted it. That che is silverite
there is NO doubt else she would

as good as the hen that laid the
gold egg, but she is second for
