posed of at Auction.

Talking of boots, the pair worn
by Napoleon at his coronation
were sold the other day near Alt
kirch, in Alsace, for Is marks.
David has left us a carefully pain
ted image of them in his painting
of that function. They were made
by an Alsatian named Moll, &C
cording to design he furnished
with the other articles of the inn
perisl suit. The leather was of
that kind of morocco which is used
in the cream -colored babouches of
the Moors, the incest leather of
any to a sensitive feet.
Then David was not easily sa-
tisfied, and made the shoemaker
discard two pairs on which he
tried his hand before he made q
third, which were in all respects
just what he wanted. The bill for
the boots was 40 pounds sterling.
Napoleon thought it impudent
robbery, but he Gained down
when Moll offered to ask nothing
if he gave him back the boots.
Emperor though he was. he took
the shoemaker at his word. This

The New York Herald gives this
pointer to merchants or all who
have an article to sell or buy:
Advertising has become the
merchants greatest help toward
achieving success. The compile
cent trsdesman who relies upon
his individual merits to build up q
thriving business may be common
ded for the faith that is in him;
but such faith is without a solid
foundation. It is much like that
which was characteristic of the
optimistic Mr.. Micawber, who, be-
ing bald, was of the opinion that
he has been providently depried
of bis hair in order that he might
without discomfort wear the wig
of a Lork High Chancellor. A
merchant may be ever SO worthy
but in these hustling times he
must in addition do something in
order to get the public interested
in its establishment. Good news

1t was a splendid reception which
the citizens of St. Paul gave Gov. Lind
and his estimable wife last night,
Nothing like it Is recorded in the his
tory of this staid city. Something like
fifteen thousand invitations were Is
sued, and 1t did seem as If they had
been unanimously accepted. There can
be no doubt about the governors pop
ularity. just as there can be no ques-
ton about the warmth of the welcome
given him by the people of the capital
city, among whom he will henceforth
make his home.
All praise to the committee which
had the affair in charge the success
Of whose efforts was assured when
Theodore L. Schurmeier accepted the
craftsmanship, with its arduous labors
and its manifold cares. 1t was q
great night for ST. Paul. May many
others be included in the history of the
old town.

A Stupendous Cable System

The English are alive to the fact
that cables are as essential to marine
commerce as nervous system is to a
human body. Some time before the oc-
cupation by the United States Of Wake
island for a cable station. the British
government had completed negotiations
for Pacific line. Sir Sanford Flem-
ing now comes forward with an elab-
GRATED plan to connect all parts Of the
empire by cables landing only on
British soil.
The scheme provides for three sys-
TENS, viz. Atlantic. Pacific and Indian.
and requires but $4,000 knots more than
the present plan. entailing an added
expenditure Of perhaps, S25,O00,000. Inc
Atlantic cable. which is already IN
working order. would connect the CEN
trail government with British possess
sions in North Central and South
America, with most of the British ISL
ands in the Atlantic ocean and with all
the colonies on the western coast Of
Africa.
The system in the Pacific, whose ca
BILE is yet to be laid. would connect
Great Britain with Hong Kong and
Australia with her possessions in the
Pacific ocean. and with the western
coast of Canada. The Indian ocean
system would put her in direct COM
munication with possessions on the
eastern coast of Africa from Cape
Town to Alden. with her islands in the
Indian ocean, with India and the west
coast of Australia.
An interconnection would exist be-
tween these systems. since the tele-
graphic lines Of Canada would join the
Atlantic and Pacific cables; Cape Town
link the Atlantic and Indian. and Aus
tralia the Indian and Pacific. By this
arrangement the rupture of one line
would not break off communication
with the possessions in its particular
system. for messages could be sent to
them by one or the other Of the I'M
broken cables with the help of trans
continental lines.
1t is an essential part of Sir Sand
ford Fleming's plan that these cables
be owned and operated by the govern
ment. With Englands highly develop
ed colonial policy, and her form Of gov
eminent, this may not be bad plan
may even be positively good, since it
is peculiarly adapted to imperial pur-
poses.
But studying the scheme with refer
ence to it's adoption for our own de-
| velopment. we would make one impor-
tant change-we should ask that the
plan be encouraged by the government
but be carried out and controlled by
the safest Of all agencies|private en-
terpriSe.
