The Anglomaniacs having failed
to induce the United States to inter
cede with the Beers to accept Eng
lands terms and avert war, now
insist that if other powers interfere
in the Transvaal war the United
States should protest, and if neces-
sary side with England in the row.
Why, of course. Just bring that
matter before Congress, which
meets shortly, and see what will be
the result, party politics to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The United
States will strictly mind its own
business, and in the Transvaal
scrimmage protect Americans and
their interests against English as
well as Boer aggression or interfer-
ance. That is the right and duty of
our Government, and it ends there.
To go beyond that will require the
sanction of Congress, and which
party, with Presidential election
next year, will champion England's
cause?

TOBACCO SMOKE.

Science has calculated that an aver
age puff of cigar smoke sets free 2,00o,-
600 tiny particles, a Whit from a pipe
lberates over 500, o00, 900 of these par
ticles and one from a cigarette starts
2,900,000,O0O of them flying through the
surrounding atmosphere.
Experts say that for smoking tobacco
is one of the least injurious substances
known. Compared with other we'll
known vegetable substances used for
the same purpose tobacco is very mild.
Opium, without doubt, is most fearful
in its effects, for the drunkenness it
produces ultimately unbalances the
mind. Next TO opium in power are GER
tain kinds of grasses, notable among
which is hemp, which causes intoxica-
tion and anaesthesia.
1t has often been quoted that grain
of nicotine administered all at once
would kill the strongest dog, and from
this have been argued its terrible eff
fects on the body of human being.
While this statement is undoubtedly
true it is somewhat misleading. In or
der to commit suicide by smoking the
dog would have TO consume 400 strong
cigars, one right after the other. He
would put himself out of the world
much more easily by eating the boxes.
A very curious fact concerning to-
baeco smoke is the remarkable change
in color which il undergoes after en-
tering the mouth. From the burning
end Of a cigar the smoke issues in deep
blue threads, while that which is ex-
PEELED from the mouth is of a decidedly
brownish tint. This difference is 10 be
accounted for by the fact that the mi
nutest particles have an intense af-
finity for moisture. When tobacco
smoke IS drawn into the mouth its
smallest particles are Immediately de-
tached from the rest by the presence of
moist surfaces, TO which they fly and
lodge.

HITS WITH THE LONG BOW.

The famous William of Cloudsley
could split a hazel wand with his shaft
from a distance of 200 yards.
Toximus mentions an archer, named
Menalus, who could discharge three ar
rows at once and hit each of three OBJ
jects he aimed at.
An archer named Aster, seeing Philip
of Macedon among his troops, is said to
have written on an arrow: "Aster sends
Philip deadly shaft" and hit the king
with il in the eye.
The wicked Emperor Commodus
boosted that he never missed his aim
or failed to kill the wild beast that he
shot at with a single arrow. With ar
rows, the heads of which were semi
circular, he would sever the necks of os-
triches while at full fight.
1t is said that Domitian would place
boys in the circus at a considerable dis
lance from him, and as they held up
their hands, with their fingers out
spread, he would send his arrows be
tween them with such nicely and ac-
curacy OF aim that lac never inflicted a
wound.
The Persian archers, according to
Guardian, practiced at mark placed on
top of a mast 26 feet from the ground.

A BIGAMIsTs DIARY.

Charles woodruff Is the champion big
smist Of the world. He has been married
10 times TO as many different women. His
average residence with them was about
three months. one never saw him after the
wedding ceremony-neither did she ever
see again about 800 worth OF jewelry IN
trusted TO his keeping. In Woodruff's diary
were found the following observations on
women, love and matrimony;
Justindignation renders person elo-
quent indeed.
Marriage often kills love, just as II
gave 1t being.
Love can be crueler than friendship;
Indifference than hate.
Sentiment is nothing but thought
blended with feeling.
Love is a fleeing something. It's Like
the horizon, always just ahead.
Where our hopes lie, there we most
easily deceive ourselves.
Love is not a common thing. Sordid
ambition is taking its time-honored
place.
Love in the hands of a fln-de-slecle
man q like clay in the potter's hand.
You can do with it what you wish.
There is no such thing as killing the
love we have for one. but there is such
thing as killing the joy there is in
flat love.
Sometimes a womans thoughts are
vaguely recorded on her face; at other
times the face photographs the emo
tlons and thoughts.
You can easily get over caring for
persons, but you can't get over liking
them. II you like them because hey
are sweet and pure, that is what hurts.
l sometimes feel liks the alchemist
who spends days and nights beside his
retorts, that he may not miss the mo-
ment for which he has longed for and
waited for.
