The New York Journal Of Commerce is
doubtless right when it declares that there
are but four nations which can be fairly
ranked world powers-namely, the United
States, Great Britain, Germany and Russia.
France was a power in 1860. but since the
defeat by Germany. ii has been losing that
prestige which makes a nation power.
The backdown of France in the Fashoda
AFFAIR with Great Britain is confession of
weakness, due to decay under provincial
burdens. Austria-Hungary is now of little
account in the worlds councils. The empire
Is held together with difficulty. and Will
doubtless become two governments when
the present Emperor dies, If not before.
Italy is a declining nation in spite of its
struggles to be considered a factor in the
affairs OF the world. Its peasantry Is half
starved and its landholders are little better.

Americans should be proud of the conduct
of the troops in the Philippines. True, it
was to- be expected, for American troops
show the highest soldierly qualities wher-
ever they are placed, but they never have
operated under worse conditions than
those which prevail about Manila In
spite of these conditions they are making a
record which entities them to the gratitude
of the country and which will still further
enhance the reputation of American SOL
diers throughout the world.

In anticipation of the early disintegration
of the army now in Cuba the officers of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lees corps have organized the
Society of the Seventh Army Corps to per-
petuate its memories. General Lee will be
the first president and both officers and en-
listed men will be eligible to membership.
A good feature of such organization will
be the maintenance of comradeship between
soldiers from the North and the South.

1t is not many years since practically
every London tavern, with any preten-

whose excellence it prided itself, and to
partake Of which people often Travelled

"duellists breakfasts" served at the old
Suice house. near Finsbury park: the
necessary quantity of fish being regularly
dredged up from the stream that used to
run under the windows. The pies can
still be had but the cells are now obtained
from a fishmonger, who carries on busi-
ness in an adjoining thoroughfare.
Dating back to about the same period
are the oyster patties. for which Rules,

far away. in the Strand, is Simpsons,
noted for its fish dinners. These latter
were quite an institution in days gone
by. and even now there are to be found
certain old-fashoned bon vivants who
swear by them. The guest pays certain

many different varieties as he may care

has been in the possession of the host of

only portions of the fish used, it appears,
are the calipee, the caipash and the fins.
These are stewed together for some time
in a specially prepared stock. and the
result is a peculiar gelatinous green

Is 1T RIGHT

For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?
From Sylvan Valley Naws, Brevard,
N. G: 1t may be q question whether
the editor of q newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood theEmarket, yet as preventative
of suffering we feel it q duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Collie.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and always
found it reliable. In many cases dose
OF this remedy would save hours of suf-
fering while physician is awaited.
We do not believe in depending i'm
plicitly on any medicine for cure, but
we do believe that if q bottle Of Cham
berlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the incep-
tion OF an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of physician would
not be required. At least this has
been our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale by L. o. Gale.

two"
Then the subeditor passed along a
slip of paper on which was written

Freezing weather in July


Would cause great discomfort and
loss, but fortunately it is seldom known.
A vast amount Of misery is caused at
this season, however, by impoverished
blood, poor appetite and general debil-
ity, These conditions may be remedied
by enriching the blood and toning the
stomach with Hoods sarsaparilla.
This medicine seems to put new life
into the whole physical system, simply
because of its wonderful power tc
purify, enrich and vitalize the blood,
create an appetite and invigorate the
digestive functions. We advise you tc
get q bottle and try it if you are moi

good than a six weeks vacation. II il

THE PROFESSORS PRIZE.
1t Was Something He Could Beat,
but 1t Got the Best of Him.


but 1t Got the Best of Him.
One evening last winter one Of Adel-
bert's popular professors attended a
social function where the guests play
ed progressive pedro, game in which
the worthy educator lays no claim to
being an expert. In fact, on the pres
ent occasion he was credited with but
two prOgressions, score OF really as
tonishing smallness. Naturally, what
is termed the "booby prize" fell to him,
and this time it took the form of
double yolk egg, with the following
sarcastic legend attached:
"Something you can beat"
The professor smilingly accepted the
reward, and after it was passed around
and joked upon he finally slipped it
into the side pocket Of his overcoat
and then straightway forgot it's exist
ence.
When the party broke up, he accom-
panied two young ladies to their
home When they reached the house
und the latchkey was produced and
used, it was found that the front door
was locked so tightly that it refused
to yield to ordinary pressure. So the
professor put his hip against a panel
and pushed hard.
There was dull crash, mild yell
the professor leaped in the air and
convulsively clutched at his side.
The double yolk had exploded!
A moment later the afflicted educator
gingerly drew from his pocket pail
of exceedingly yellow gloves, followed
by mufiier of the same gaudy tint
And the ladies leaned against the rail
ing and laughed until they cried.
OF course they promised not to tell
but in some unfathomed way the stor,
like the egg-leaked out.-Clevelant
