Four months ago the English army
marched upon Omdurman and Khar-
tum, and with Maxim guns moved
down the brave "fuzzie-wuzzies, " who,
with unlimited daring, rushed upon
the British lines. Now these same
British are already building in Khar-
tum the Gordon Memorial college, and
recently Lord Cromer laid the founda-
tion-stone. The college is to teach
agriculture, engineering, and other
technical arts, in the Arabic language,
and half a million dollars have been
subscribed in England for its support,
at the solicitation of Gen. Kitchener.

DEVILS ISLAND, made famous as the
prison of Dreyfus, has a strange spe-
cies of animal found nowhere else on
earth. This odd animal has been call
ed the coati and is peculiar combina-
tion of mammiferous, carniverous
plantigrade. 1t is about the size of
cat when full grown, with long head
shaped like a pyramid, tremendous
nose, making it the Cyrano of animals.
The jaws are long, like those of young
alligator, and it uses it's fore paws to
carry its food to its mouth, as monkeys
and SQUIRRELS do.

QUEEN VICTORIA and all the adult
lady members of the royal family now
carry walking sticks, some of which
are beautifully mounted with gold
knobs. Her majesty's sticks have
handles and she uses them for actual
support in what little walking she
does. Walking sticks among military
ladies, too, are now the fashion.
Walking umbrellas have also been in
troduced, and the princess of Wales
has one that is no thicker than an or
dinary walking stick when folded.

THE greatest diving feat ever achiev-
ed was in moving the cargo of the ship
Cape Horn, wrecked off the coast of
South America, when a diver named
Hooper made seven descents to depth
of over 200 feet, remaining at one time
40 minutes under the water. An au-
thority states that the greatest depth
to which a man has been known to de-
scend does not exceed 220 feet, which
is equivalent to pressure of ss}1
pounds to the square inch.

AN ingenious invention, lately placed
on the market by Glasgow journalist,
IS attracting considerable attention
among those whose daily pursuits
strain the eye. The inventor, having
overworked his eyes until he could use
them only with the greatest difficulty,
at last hit upon the plan of putting
several strips of different colored paper
near his inkstand, SO that every time
he reached for ink his eyes fell on
them. The owners of the patent claims
that not only were his eyes relieved,
but his sight improved by this simple
device. just why is for an oculist to
explain.

The finest military riding school in

lavishly ornamented but in every re-

the subterranean riding school in We'll

WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE, England's
Grand Old Man, used to make political
speeches in queer places. In fact, it
was he who initiated the custom of
speaking from railway trains. He
poured out his political principles from
the mouths of tunnels, on the tops of
mountains-notably his adventures in
Midlothian-at pit mouths and deep
down in the bowels of the earth. on
hays stacks, in chapels, once in Con-
gregational church and frequently on
board ship.

IT is said that in Australia there is a
hotel where rheumatic patients con-
gregate. Whenever a whale has been
taken the patients are rowed over to
the works in which the animal is
cut up, the whalers dig narrow grave
in the body, and in this the patient
lies for two hours, as in Turkish
bath, the decomposing blubber of the
whale closing around his body and
acting as huge poultice. This is
known as the whale cure for rheuma-
tiSm.

ORIGIN OF BON BONS.
Sugar Plums, Pastilles and Burnt AL
monds Have History.

From the New York Herald.
The most popular and most ancient
of bonbonS are sugar, plumS, pastilleS
and burnt almonds, but how many per
sons know their history? Sugar plums
date from Roman times, for the Ro-
mans We're the first to think Of covering
almonds with layers of sugar. The in
ventor was a certain Julius Dragatus,
noted confectioner, who belonged to
the illustriOus patrician family Of Fa
bus. He made this great discovery,
which has wrought so much damage to-
our teeth for 20 centuries, in the year
Iii B. c.
their inventor tdragees in FRENCH, re-
manned the exclusive privilege of the
family of Fahius. But at the borth or
the marriage of one of that family
great distribution of dragati took
place, as sign of rejoicing. This Gus
tom is still observed by many Of the
nobility of Europe.
The pastille is of far later origin,
having been invented and introduced
into France by an Italian confectoner,
the Florentine John Pastila. a protege
of the Medicis. When Maria de Medici
married Henry ". of France, Pastilla
accompanied his sovereign to the
French court, where his bonbons had a
tremendous vogue. Everybody wanted

very beginning. He made them with
all kinds of tlavors-chocoate, coffee,
rose, violet, mint, wine. strawberry,
raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope, canra-
ton.
Burnt almonds were purely Of French
origin, owing their inception to the
gluttony of a certain French merchant.
One day Marshal Duplessis- PraIln, an
old gourmet, sent for Lassagne. his
chief c0nfectinner, and promised him
great price for some new sweet that
would please his palate, dulled as it
was by all the pleasures of the table

PlNGREE'S VICTORY.
Municipal Ownership of Railways Re
ferred to Popular Vote.

IeTFeu 10 u NOLe.
Detroit. March 27.-The municipal
ownership of street railways had a
noisy, exciting and turbulent three
hour inning in Light Guard armory to-
night before an audience of citizens
which packed the big structure. The
occasion was a free fcr-all- debate be
tween Governor Pingrae and his sup
porters. who contend for proceeding
with the purchase of Detroit's street
railways under the act passed last week
by the legislature and those who OPP
poee action by the city council under
that, at least until such action be fur
tther authorized by vote of the citizens.
The audience. composed largely of
workingmen, seemed to favor munic
pal ownership and was not disposed TO
even listen to the opposition. but the
result of vote, according to the chair
mans decision, was in favor of re-
ferring the question to the popular vote.
The decision of the chairman created
great dissatisfaction.
Governor Pingree, amid great ap-
plause, explained his reasons for push
ing the measure. AS to the referendum
feature. which has been eliminated by
the legislature. he said that while he
favored having people vote upon prin-
ciples. he did not favor their voting
upon matters of business details. He
afterward said. however. that he would
interpose no objections to the peoples
vote thereon.
w. D. Mahon, president of the Ma
tional Association of Street Railway
Employees, several members of the leg
islature and others argued in favor Of
the purchase, several leading attorneys
and others in opposition to it.

the purchaser, who makes an inward re-

CIVIL OFFICERS.
viii support Military Officials in Cuba
as Far as Possible.

Washington. March 21.--One of the mat
ters which will be early brought to the
attention of the president after his return
will be the proposition to supplant the
military with civil officers in Cuba and
Porto Eicn 81 far as practicable. The
civil ufccr- selected will be subject to
the military authority, which must be
supreme for the present, as it is the only
method by which the government of the
islands can he maintained. What is de-
sired and what has been under considera-
ton by officers of the administration is to
have civil officers selected who will come
+ in contact with the people of the islands.
Military methods. while best for the man
agempnt 0f the army. are not always fol-
lowed in dealing with the people.
