FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.

Nearly 60 per cent. of all Russians are
unable to read or write.
Mexican ladies are fond of chocolate.
Even in church they have it brought to
them, and drink it during the service.
One million five hundred and thirty
eight thousand seven hundred and thir-
ty-eight is the precise number of birds
estimated by the British consul at Ven
ezuela to have been killed last year to
provide aigrettes for ladies' hats.
Under the Belgian law unmarried
men over 25 have one vote, married mel.
and widowers with families have two
votes, and priests and other persons of
position and education have three votes.
Severe penalties are imposed on those
who fail to vote.
Brussels, which is fond of being called
Little Paris" is almost two towns in
one, for side by side with the medieval
portion of the city are the splendid mod
ern streets, which recall nothing so
much as those of the French capital.
The law courts, ON the eminence in the
center of the city, are exceptionally
beautiful, and are built of white and
dazzling stone.
A curious thing has happened on the
western shores of Null and Iona. Thou
sands of apple seeds have taken root
along the highwater mark of the spring
tides, where the apples from the
wrecked Dominion liner Labrador
were strewn in much profusion. The
stems are already from two to five
inches high, and the plants are healthy
and vigorous. The crofters are trans
planting the strongest roots to their
gardens.
Journalism in Greenland is repre-
scented by single paper, conducted by
a certain Mr.. Moeller. This energetic
gentleman performs single-handed the
functions of editor, printer and dis.
tributor, and the entire paper is the
product of his own pen. He has set up
a primitive printing establishment at
Godthaab, and twice a month he per-
forms long journey on skates through
the country to dispose of his journal
Originally nothing more than a collec-
ton OF crude illustrations, Mr.. Moeller
gradually introduced into the pages of
his paper first words, then sentences,
and finally regular articles on the at
fairs of the day. In fact, he may be
said to have actually taught his sub
iects to read.

John c HUB1NGER.
Remarkable Career Of . Well-known
Western Capitalist, Manufact.
urer and Philanthropist.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John C. Hubinger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without peer. AS
a manufacturer, as an enterprising cap
italist and as a philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but Al years OF
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. Al
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on number OF val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
BY inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by inn
proved processes, and in the course OF
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made a

say so. They are tragedy. We have one

suade my wife to go down to her mother

reason or other my wife decided that the
cereus was going to bloom last night 1t has
threatened to bloom so many times and then
backed out at the last minute that nobody
but a woman would have any more faith in
it. But it was sure thing this time and
Mrs. Smith sent runners all over town to
summon our friends in to see that dastardly
thing burst into flower; certain billed to
blossom out at midnight. When | came
home Mrs. Smith said:
. Now, Henry, a night blooming cereus is
something you don't see in flowers more
than once in century-or is it thousand
years? Anyway it's an awful long time.

discovery, which lie considers the
browning event of his wonderful
career, and which is embodied in a
new article of commerce, known as
Red Cross Starch (Red Gross trade
mark.) He is planning to distribute
millions of packages of this starch to
the housewives of America, at a merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make its merits known without de-
lay. Thus, for but 5 cents two large
10c packages of Red Cross Starch may
be had, together with two magnificent
Shakespearean views printed in IL
beautiful colors, or Twentieth Cen
fury Girl Calendar; or for only 20
cents 10 packages of the starch and
the entire series of eight Shakespearean
views and one Twentieth Century Girl
Calendar-views alone easily worth
$1.o0. Watch this paper for future
premium announcements, of which
every lady will certainly want to take
advantage.
While Mr.. Hubinger will devote his
best energies to the manufacture of
this new and wonderful starch, he will
not retire from the various financial
enterprises in which he is interested

his augmented activity interfere with
his social obligations and exercise of
the splendid hospitality which he dis
penses at his palatial Keokuk home.
Mr.. Hubinger's family, consisting of
himself, wife and four children, is the
pivot around which his activity re-
wolves, and while fond of promoting
great enterprises, he is still fonder of
his home circle, where he spends every
moment of time not taken up by busi-
ness or public cares.

RUFFLES DADS DIGNITY.
- The Young Baseball ROoter Causes
His Patcrnal to Feel Too
Prominent.

He is a Chicago board of trade man, dig
nifed to degree, has luxuriant, bushy side
whiskers, clean chin ana upper lip, and he
dearly loves baseball He also has son
six years old, who loves the game as dearly
as does his father, and while the elder enjoys
the playing in solid, placid, contented way,
the boy bubbles over with enthusiasm and
0utroots all other rocters.
During the last Chicago-St. Louis game
father and son sat in the grand stand under
the intense strain Of knowing that st. Louis
had two men on bases and two out, and if
the man at the bat made base hit the score
would be tied The latter smote the ball
heavily. 1t scared upward and onward, far
back into what the baseball reporter calls

Left Fielder Ryan was there, and, after a
long, hard squirt, caught the fly on his finger
tips and held it. The crowd screamed JOY
ously and the small SON of his father nearly
went out of his skin for g,ee The father
merely smiled with dignity
Finally the crowd ceased its yelling after
the left fielder had dotted his cap thrice.
There was silence as he walked to the bench
twirling his blond mustache with either
hand
Then, with his fathers clean shaver upper
lip in mind, and with a voice that drew the
attention of the assembled hundreds toward
