Interviews Enat Fut WORDS Ill HIS
Mouth no Never Uttered.
OTTAWA. Ont. August s.-Mr Dav-
in, in the house of commons to-day once
more brought the Fitzpatrick interview
to the attention of the premier. In re-.
ply Sir wilfrid Laurier said there was
an interview in Washington newspa-
per which attributed to him words of a
certain character, but he did not pro-
pose to notice that. The interview was
not published by him. and Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick put words in his mouth for which
he was not responsible. II he wished to
say anything to be published he would
say 1t himself in his own way and not
through any paper.
He said so far he had received no in
vltation from the Chicago authorities,
to the demonstration. but he had learn
ed that one was coming and when 1t
did come he would certainly treat It
with the courtesy that was due 1t, not
because of the position he held, but
because of the relations between US
and our nelghbors."

Bank Notes of Ancient Times.

Among the. pr tets of civilization which were familiar to the Chinese many centuries before they came into use in Erre >e may be 2koned bank notes. There is at this moment in the possession of the Bank of England specimen supposed to be one of the oldest extant, dating from the four teenth century of our era. It is now proved, however, that paper money was issued in China as carly as 807 A. D. -nese securities closely resem- bled the famous French assignats in being based upon the estates of the kingdom. The Bank of Stockholm claims to have been the first western institution to adopt a paper currency, but the Bank of England must have followed very close with it's f20 notes, which were 4-sued in 1696.

A Georgia soldier put his rifle up against the tents on tho other side of where Longstreet was. Well" he said, this is pretty hard ito fight all day and march all night. But suppose l can do 1t for love of my country" He continued: T can 30 hungry, l can fight, if need be I can die for my country. But when this war is over I'll be blowed if I'll ever love another country. W Journal.

Tremendons Fewef et cyoIones.

Careful estimates of the force of a cyclone and the energy required to keep full-fedged hurricane in active operation reveal the presence of d power that makes the mightiest efforts ot man appear as nothing in compari- son. A force fully equal to 473.000,00o horse power was estimated as devei- oped in West Indian cyclone. This is about fifteen times the power that ia creatahle by all means within the range of mans capabilities during the same time. Were steam, water, wind mills and the strength of all men and all animals combined they could not at ali approach the tremendous force sxerted by this terrible storm,

A Puzzler for the Nerrn.


 Edward Murphy, Jg.. formerly United States senator, was telling a number of friends In the Hoffman a story about colored yagrant who lives in Teoy. This happy-g -go-lucky son of the south is a favorite with every one, and his only virtue is his kindness to his wife. She was taken il some tspae ago, and, while the "darkyo had no money to pay for a physician, he per- suaded local doctor to visit his wife and prescribe for her. He succeededs in getting the medicine from a dis pensary all right, but one thing botb- cred him. The doctor told him he must. make his wife some chicken broth and feed her certain amount every fifteen minutes. Trouble is, doc" said the colored man, T ain't got no pusson to make the broth and feed her.D The doctor said shortly: Feed her your- self, you lazy fellow. You have never, done stroke of work in your life. and you haven't anything else to do." The "darky" scratched his grizzled head in puzzled way, and said slowly. "Yas. sah. Yas, sah. Oats right But if I has to feed her ebery fifteen minutes how am l going to get de chickens. Oats what don't Rnow."-New York Tribune,

Wild Ducks in Captivity.

Mallards and black ducks, as well as Canada geese, have been matched un- Ter tame ducks, and have taken to tho ,arnyard habits of their foster mothers without fear or distrust of man; still is safe to pinion the first genera ion with scissors. It is my opinion hat both the blue and green winged cal may be as easily domesticated; but he early domesticators of beasts and irds looked entirely to utility, and so he smaller wild fowl were neglected.

Are Killed.

Inlay City, Mich, Feb. 6.-Chicago
& Grand Trunk passenger train No. l.,
westbound, plunged full speed into
passenger train No. 6, eastbound, while
the latter was standing at the station
here. The results of the crash were
fatal and otherwise disastrous. The
following were killed:
