Recently, a man, who is fond Of
arithmetic, made up his mind that he
would find out how much a dinner real
~ cost, says the Memphis Commercial
Appeal. He first ascertained that the
dianer he was eating cost "a cents,
presumably. He co%ntradicted this, and
then made out the following statement
about the cost of that simple little din
ner:
The pepper, he said, came from ten
thousand miles away. 1t grew on 3
little bush about eight feet high. which
must have had a growth of at least five
years. The pepper was picked green;
it had to be dried in the sun, and this
meant employing women. 1t took N
ship and one thousand miles of rail-
road to bring the pepper to the United
States. The -four of which the bread
was made came from Dakota; som
one owned the land. and that meant
the investing of capital, and then he
had also to pay wages to workingmen.
The flour had to be ground, and the
building of the mill, and the plant, or
machinery. meant more money invest
ed. The millers had to be puid, coop
ers had to be paid for making the bar
rels. and. of course. the wood of which
the barrels were made had to be cut
and sawed and shaped. and tbs meant
the employing Of more men. Then the
flour had to be shipped over the rail-
road and handled again by cfrta1en be-
fore 1t came into the house.
The tea on the table came from China
and the coffee from South America.
The goldfish had to be brought from
| Maine. Men had to be employed to
catch the fish; then other men and
women We're employed in drying. pack-
ing and boxing it, and it, too. had to
make a long railroad journey. The salt
came from the northwestern part Of
New York State. The spices in the
cake came from the Spice Islands, owe
in the Indian Archipelago. The canned
peaches am from California, and
they, too. represented the employment
of capital and labor. The simple little
dinner represented. directly or indirect
ly. the employment of S500,000,O00 of
capital and 100000 men.

curious Christian Name,

In the Canterbury Diocesan Gazette
there is I'm interesting and authentic
record Of the use of the Acts Of the
Apostles as a Christian name. The en-
tries are in the registers of Boughton-
under Blean. Actsapostle, son Of
Thomas and Elizabeth Pegden, from
Dunkirk, was baptized Aug. 2, 1895,
and the burial of this Actsapostle Peg
den. aged 20 years, took place Nov. II,
1865. The name seems to have been
abbreviated to Actsy, for the vicar Of
Boughton has heard a parishioner
speak of her uncle Actsy Pegden.
Again, Acts of the Apostles, son OF
Richard and Phoebe Kenneth, was hap

within which sea fishing was forbid

mile limit was closed by law against
the trawlers in 1889. The fisheries

Exhibition of Fromptness in Execu-

Chicago, June S.-A special to the
Tribune from Vancouver. B. c, says:
Passengers by the steamship EN-
press of Japan give a graphic descrip-
ton of the rebellion in KOw Loon
When the Empress passed up the coast
from Hong Kong the passengers saw
the smoking ruins of many villages
burned by Britishers as a warning to
the rebellious Cinnamon.
Seventeen thousand natives were then
in Instruction, and so serious did af-
fairs shape themselves on May 16 that
the Hong Kong volunteers were called
to the front. The Chinese were simply
chased from village to village with no
show of resistance, and the villages
burned.
A British surveying party, while sur
veying the route of the Yannan rail-
way through China were attacked and
roughly handled
They fired their pistols once into the
air as a warning, then charged the
mob. One Chinaman was killed and
ten wounded. All the Cinnamon they
could capture alive were handed over
TO the governor of the prefecture with
a demand that they be punished. To
the Britishers' surprise headsmen were
sent for while they waited and before
they could retire their forces the pris-
oners' heads rolled into baskets.

LELAND RESIGN?
Mr.. Sam Peters Suggests That
He Surrender to General
Funston

Mr.. Sam r. Peters, editor of the
Newton Kansan, publishes a suggestion
to honor General Fred Funston. At
the same time he deals a back-handed
slap at Cy Leland. Mr.. Peters has an
ambition which he has nursed for
many years-to be federal judge of
Kansas. When the opportunity came
Mr.. Leland supported Mr.. Hook with
the result that Mr.. Hook is now judge
while Mr.. Peters has to be content with
a job as postmaster al Newton.
He says in an editorials:
Let the hOnorS to be conferred upon
Fred Funston assume a practical and
useful shape.
While his achievements have re-
hected honor upon Kansas, yet his SER
vice has been to the nation. His recog-
milton therefore should come in the
form of some federal position.
AS Funston is poor, it should be an
office that has a good salary and free
from the outlay necessary in political
campaigns.
There is a federal office which re-
quires no outlay of money; which re-
quires no labor except the making of u
good official bond; which has a good
salary attached to it; is Immediately
available, provided the present incum-
bent will resign, and as he is rich and
does not need it, we presume he will
do so.
THAT office is United States pension
agent at Topeka. If Mr.. Leland will
resign in favor of Fred Funston, the old
soldier and the young soldier and the
nation in general and Kansas in partic-
ular will rejoice and be exceeding glad
to see Gen. Funston get the place."

commissary of the second division,

con the evening of February 5, after
hard fighting and a general advance all

given their supper promptly at the reg
ular hour, and during all the subse-
Cuent movements, while the troops nave
been constantly confronting the enemy,
either in line or in the trenches, the
continuous supply of rations has been
maintained without a break and at all
times a reserve of at least two days of
travel ration has been kept on hand
With the exception of two days when
travel ratfons were issued the issue has
been as follows: Fresh beef seven days

24 pounds; salmon one day in ten, one

cream. fruits. preserves and a long list
of deIicacies sold by the subsistence de-
partment at cost, which were purchased
by each organization with proceeds

THE most noticeable features of the
supply are the deliveries of fresh beef

PRINCESS CHIMAY WEAK.
Does Not Recover From the Shock
Caused by RIGGS Death.

London June Sword comes from
Cairo that Princess Chimay is not re-
covering from the shock occasioned by
RIGGS death as rapidly as was hoped
for.
The unhappy woman who lies in a
stupOr in her plague villa just
outside of Alexandria, was once Clara
Ward, daughter of old Eber Ward OF
Detroit, shipowner, shipbuilder, timber
magnate, Spiritualfst, miser and man
of many love affairs.
There was a faint that appeared in
different forms in various members of
the family. Clara Ward was extreme
ly beautiful, but she had wild impulses
and encountered nothing in her home
life to discourage them. At the age
of II, with SO, 900 of her own, her
mother engineered match between her
and Prince Joseph de Chimay and de
Caraman, head of the historic Belgian
house of that name. The wedding took
place in Paris.
Lord Lytton, the British ambassador,
and Whitelaw Reid, the American rep
resentative, were the witnesses for the
bride, who wore a dress that had cost
$4,000.
Marriage did not restrain Clara
Wards impulses; it merely enlarged
her opportunities. Her husband was
Wife's amusements
Prince Baldwin, the profligate heir to
the Belgian throne, fell in love with her.
While the scandal was at it's height he
died suddenly and mysteriously. Cos
sips talked of a jealous husband. Later
they talked about Jealous king.
The Princess Chimay kept the scan
dal-mongers of Europe busy by many
exploits after that, but they all faded
into insignificance when she flung her
self at the feet of the leader of a Hun
garian band in a. Paris cafe-JaneSi
Rigo, the gypsy.
She did not tire of him; it was the
passion of her life. She had already
borne him one child before this tragic
double birth in Alexandria. After fling
ing away all the world for the gypsy,
Clara Ward abandoned herself to reck-
lessness. She seemed to study out
means to shock and offend society. This
was proba bly, less innate wickedneSS
than pitiful, feminine way of hurting
defiance at the world, and it is need
less to recapitulate the follies of one
whom fate has overtaken SO crushingly.

not to be at Abbotsford when one of the
dogs died, said Miss Scott, for the fam
lily was all in tears. When Camp, his
bull terrier, died, Sir Walter declined to
dine out, because he had lost dear
old friend"
Mazda, his deerhound was given to
him by the Highland chief, Glengarry,
and lived to a great age. Mazda would
lie in his study with his head in reach
of Scott's hand; when he wanted to go
out he knocked with his tail. Mean
while old Hins of Hinsfeldt, the great
gray cat, sat in the second place of
honor at the top of the library ladder
When Mazda went out, Hins came
down from the top of the ladder, and
took his place in his absence.
There was also a pack of greyhounds,
and every kind of terrier, and old Tins
would join in hunting a hare, if one
got up near the house. At last MINI
rod, a young, incOnsiderate deerhound,
killed poor old Hins in the excitement
of Vre chase. When Sir Wal
ter was very i'll abroad, he always wrote
home for news of the dogs, and they
gathered round him fOndly when he
came back to die. His poems and
novels of course, are full of dogs and
horses.

did.
The reason some people fail to make
good Postum is that they undertake to
get the good out of the cereals by
few minutes boiling. whereas not less
than twenty-five minutes should be
used in making a good pot full of
Postum. When it is properly boiled, it
is a most delicious coffee, and per-

me they have all grown very fond of
