earccphngus In which the Remains OF the.
German Prince Will Rest.

With the single exception Of Bis
marck's Autobiography, the greatest
success ever achieved by any publica-
tion in Germany was q pamphlet by
Professor Quidde, entitled "Caligu-
la." This pamphlet had, however,
from publishers point of view,
everything in its favor. It's very title
savored of the sensational, and the
German reading public knew before
hand that "Caliguls" was in reality O
comparison of the insane Roman Em-
peror with the present Kaiser.
Put on sale at the extremely low
price Of ten cents, IL took the pamph-
let eighteen months to sell 800, 900
copies.
To know how far, comparatively
speaking, the sale Of Bismarck ex-
ceeds that Of "Caligula," il is only
necessary to know that 31s, 900 copies
of the former had been ordered before
the book was published. The fact,
too, that the price of the Iron Chan
cellor's autobiography was twenty
marks, or nearly fifty times the cost OF
"Caligula, makes the comparison all
the more striking. When a German
parts with twenty marks he wants q
run for his money, aud also must
know all there is to know about book
before he buys it. 1t is self-evident,
then, that the German people have
accepted Bismarck's story as the only
true and adequate expression Of the
Iron Chancellor and his influence on
European history. It is interesting
also to notice its reception in other
countries. The rights in the United

The Joke on Papa.

II is told of learned professor OF
languages in an English university
that on one first Of April he was asked
to bring home several things from the
druggists. He carefully made mem.
orandum of the articles so that he
might not forget, and was putting his
list in his pocket when his saucy young
daughter said, quite coolly. "Papa,
will you bring me q penny worth OF
evaporated pigeons milk?" Seer
tainly, my dear" was his reply, as he
carefully noted it down, and doubtless
he would have asked the druggist for
it had not one of the children laughed.
That caused him to look at the entry.
aud he. too, laughed. "You caught
mo that time, my dear" he said, pat
ting his daughters curly head.

frozen within the kettle and beneath

1t wss no ordinary ice, either, for,
later on being allowed to rest on the
tabb and passed around, the intens.
ityof its freezing kept it firm long
tine, in spite of the heat of the room.
The concluding test was in some re.
.ssects a most wonderful one. Mr..
Tripler placed liquid air in deep tin
cup. lowered it in jar of water and
soon had thick coating of ice on it.
The liquid air turned into gas. He
put ice water in the cup to relieve the
hold of the ice on the tin cup, and
when removed he had cup OF ice.
This ice cup in turn he filled with
liquid air, and then lowered piece
OF carbon in it. A bright light was
the result, showing through the ice
glass as an arc light through a globe
The carbon was burning with heat
of 5000 degrees above zero. and it was
burning emersed in liquid with
temperature OF $40 degrees below
zero, and yet the experimenter held
the cup in one hand and the end of
the carbon in the other, the intense
cold preventing danger from heat SO
great as to be beyond the power OF the
mind to comprehend 1t.

about 16 hands high. The mules that
are looked out for are of excellent quail
ity, but not OF the best sort. The finest
American mule today costs from $175 to
$500 here, as much as a first-class horse
of equal draught power, and he runa
from 1871 to 171s hands high, at time,
even upto Is hands high. The Missouri
stock is perhaps the best known.
The British government is said to be-
looking for a first-class mule somewhat
smaller and less expensive. 1t has, 1t lis
said, fixed upon mule is hands high
and costing about $125. of the same gem

1t is interesting to note that there 10
demand for the American stock despite
the present high prices. Horses and
mules for draught purposes sell nearly
IS per cent higher than they did year
ago. Last year. as 1t happened, was a
banner year. and struck the top notch
by some thousands. In all, $4,000 head
of horses and mules We're exported. 80
per cent of them from New York, one
single line carrying $4,000. The export
figures for 1897 showed $4,000. a great
increase over 1896. Without purchases
of the British government, this years
figures, it is said. will touch $4,000, at
the lowest. The entire traue is less than
ten years old.

British Government in the Ameri

New York, Oct 6.--Agents of the
British government are now in this
country picking up horses and mules
by the hundred and are arranging for
speedy shipment. New York dealers
say that 1900 horses and mules are to
be bought for use in South Africa
Some are to be shipped from the gulf
ports, others from New York. 1t has
long been known that American horses
are meeting especial favor abroad. but
it was not hitherto nnders TODD that our
stock was SO highly regarded as this
action Of the British war office would
seem to indicate.
LAS TO mules said a dealer, I'VE

office must have noticed OF what value
they have been. Not many mules have
gone abroad, and especially to South

them popular there. For one thing. the

though there are three months yet to
elapse before the year is complete.
The annual report of the New York
clearing house shows that the aggre-
gate bank clearings in the year ending
with September We're the heaviest ever
known exceeding by nearly nine billion
dollars the record total of 1881, and this
too, in the face of the fact that the New
York City bank clearings more accu-
rately represent legitimate business
transactions than at any previous
period.
The aggregate clearings at seventy

were S7,0l3,S 9S, 221, a gain of nearly per

of the first five of our Chief Execu-
tives sleep in the soil of old Virginia.

President John Tyler, at Richmond,
Virginia, is absolutely unmarked
even by small headstone. Visitors
to Hollywood Cemetery are shown a
scarcely perceptible mound, over
which magnolia tree spreads its
shade in summer, as the resting
place of our tenth President. The
