demned to exile. One of the stanchest
of the friends of Dreyfus is Lieutenant
George Picquart. who ran the gamut
OF the general staff to establish the in-
nocence of the Hebrew officer, and who
is now languishing in prison. Code
troy Cavaignac. minister of war, is
another. He stood firmly by Colonel
Ptcquart, and when he discovered the
perfidy of the army, resigned at once.
Then there is M. Zo,a. whose mag
n1hcent espousal of the cause of Drey-
fus has filled the entire world with
wonder, and whose triumph over the
enemies of Dreyfus is now complete
Other friends of the Hebrew officer
VINO nave been conspicuous of late are
Ballot de Beaupre, vice president of
the civil section of the Supreme Court
and Monsieurs Demange and Laborie.
Then, as whole, the judges of the
Court of Cessation have tried to give
Dreyfus his deserts, so much so that
Quesnay de Beaurepaire resigned his
Judicial office on the plea that the
court was prejudiced in Dreyfus ia
vor. Lastly may be mentioned the
eminent Standardization, vice presi
dent of the senate, who two years ago
made desperate attempt to force a re-
trial of the exile on Devils Island. All
these men and their highly courageous
work for Dreyfus should be balanced,
in justice to the French nation against
the alleged infamy of the army. These
considerations will nullify whatever
bitterness the Jewish people may feel
against France in view of the Dreyfus
persecution.
The banking house of Rothschilds
has furnished all the money for Drey-
fus' defense. No matter how the re-
trial ends there will always be a large
section who believe that the Hebrew
was guilty Of treason to the French
nation, and that the confessions"
IRE paid for with money.

Of an atrocity not of his own manu-
tacture or of that of his subjects, says
;he London Telegraph. The tourist
has been too much for him. AS every
body familiar with Constantinople
knows, the Selamlik-the weekly visit
Of the sultan to the little mosque out
vide the YildiZ where he performs
what might be called the statutory de-
rotions-affords a very attractive spec
tacle. The site itself is one of rare
beauty, commanding as it does a
superb view over the city and the
golden horn right away to Mount
Olympus. Thousands of troops, in
their picturesque costumes, line the
sides OF the square in which the
mosque is situated. His majesty is

panied by his officers of state, and hav-
ing said his prayers, usually drives

keep pace with the carriage. Facing
the mosque is small pavilion re-
Ierved for members of the diplomatic
oody and their friends, who are the
guests OF the sultan, received in per-
son by the aids s-de-camp, and enter
tanned by the simple oriental refresh
ments of coffee and cigarettes. In the
olden days, when the tripper rarely
took his walks abroad, those who as
hsted-as the French would say-at
the Selamlik were either persons of
distinction Or friends of the different
ambassadors. Recently, however it
has been the custom of tom 'sts of all
nationalities to obtain a card from the
mbass1es-granted as a matter of
sourse-and to present themselves at
the pavilion. The results, as our Con-
tantinople correspondent points OFT.
have hardly been edifying. Few of
me tourists" he writes, appear to
realize that such ceremony (as the
belamllk) in their own country would

SURINAM TOAD.

The Surinam toad is also the pos
SCISSOR of one of the strangest nurseries
known to science. 1t lives in the dense
tropical forests of Guiana and Brazil,
and is true water hunter. But at
the breeding season the female UNDER
goes curious change of integument.
The skin on her back grows pulpy,
soft and jelly-like. She lays her eggs
in the water, but as soon as she has
laid them her lord and master plasters
them on her impressionable back with
his feet, so as to secure them from all
assaults of enemies. livery egg is
pressed separately into a bed of the
soft skin, which, soon closes over it
automatically, thus burying each in
little cell or niche, where it undergoes
its further development. The tadpoles
pass through their larval stage within
the cell and then hop out, as the IL
lustration shows, in the four-legged
condition. As soon as they have gone
off to shift for themselves the mother
toad finds herself with a ragged and
honeycombed skin which must be very
uncomfortable. So she rubs the rem
nant or IT against stones or the bark

G. Hinkle, member of the First regi-

to Charles R. Slight of Spokane from
Manila as follows: "There are half
dozen hard woods here that take high

than mahogany in appearance. l know

profit. A word as to the quality of the

the archbishop of the church. I have

HIS IDEA OF LUXURY.
1t Was to Have All of the Canned Food
He Wanted.

A story is told of an old Arizona
prospector who, after 80 years of hard
luck, hardship. and privation, finally
struck it rich few weeks ago in the
vicinity of Flagstaff and sold a half
interest in his prospect hole for $12,-
600 cash. When the money was paid
over to him at the bank the cashier,
who had known him for long time,
remarked casually: well, Bill, what
are you goin' to do to make yourself
comfortable and enjoy life now you've
got plenty of money!" Bill thought a
minute in silence, and then, as Z
pleased expression frightened up his
rugged face, he answered.: II reckon
won't eat nothn' but canned stuff
hereafter" That was his idea Of lux
ury. He had lived so long on salt pork
and heavy biscuits of his own manu-
facture that canned corn beef and to-
matoes and salmon represented to him
tie highest luxuries that life could af-

HEAD OF IOWA UNIVERSITY,

George Edwin MacLean, the newly
chosen president of the Iowa State
University, is himself a graduate of
Williams College, with the class Of
1871, from which he won the highest
honors. He then took up theology, and
after he secured his bachelorship he
was called to the pulpit of Union
Church, at Lebanon, N. Y. In 1881 DR.,
MacLean went abroad, and before his
return he had successfully tried for
the degrees of Phi. D. and A. M, and
enlarged his store of knowledge by
study in the big universities of Eng
land, Leipsic and Berlin. In 1884 he
assumed the duties of professor of
English at the University Of Mime

After nearly five years OF exile spent
IN prison on Devils island just Off the
coast of French Guinea, it begins to
look as if Dreyfus was destined to be
vlndicated of the foul charge of treason
which rested upon him. He has just
returned in honor to France. His
enemies have been powerful, but his
friends have also been powerful. and
through the persistent efforts of the
latter the tide of public sentiment in
France has been turned in his favor,

The society women Of London spend
enormous sums on dress and yet there
are many women moving in fashion
able circles who manage miraculously
on very little to appear we'll gowned. A
faShlOna bic dreSsmaker of london saws
among her customers are women
whose allowances range from $3.50 to
$1,000 year.
While one gown will cost $500 and is
destined to be worn but three or four
times one can see how vast sum can
be expended. The dressmaker in uues-
ton gives it as her opinion that no So
ciety girl can be artistically and hand
somely clad on less than 81 900 a year.
and then she must economize in many
particulars. Professional society wom-
en- and leading actresses are the most
extravagant.
Fads account for much of the money
spent This last winter in London
women wore silk equestrian tights a
great deal, claiming their skirts hung
better and were easier to wear over
them. Corsets lined with kid and
chamois breeches for riding end cy-
cling-these are some of the expensive
novelties that cost. Royalty is not as
extravagant as it's subjects The trous-

The cannon belonged to the Mitchell
Thunderbolts, company of old men
organized here in 1863 purely for home
defense. One of the company, Mr.. John

had 1t cast at the Athens foundry.

A fifty-foot chain, with the ends at

charge, and the idea of the inventor
was that when the balls came out of
the muzzle of the cannon they would
have tendency to diverge, draw the
chain taut and NOW down an entire
company. The Thunderbolts took the
cannon out into the country near
Athens one day to test it.
