Con. wauchope,. spseeh.

Here is an amusing story about
Gen. Wauchope as soldier and poll
tician. When in command of the
Black Watch, the famous Highland
regiment, he was said to have attempt
ed to address the men after parade at
Maryhill barracks, Glasgow. From
the demeanor of the colonel the regi-
ment anticipated an eloquent address.
but it is stated that the genial An
drew only got the length of: Men
OF the gallant Forty-second, when his
tongue seemed to cleave to the roof
OF his mouth. Thrice did he make the
attempt and thrice did he fail to make
progress, until, exasperated with him
self, he suddenly exclaimed, to the as
constituent of the regiment: "Men
OF the gallant Forty-second, right
about wheel!"-M A. P.

Perry (Okla. Ter.) Special Chicago
Chronicle: Peter Parson Of Ponca
City, Okla. Ter, who is an editor and
electrician, and who during the past
year, has conducted series of ex-
periments in wireless telegraphy along
his own lines, by means of his inven-
ton, claims to have transmitted mes
sage over 1000 miles. Last summer
he frequently talked with persons in
Arkansas City, Topeka and Oklahoma
points. His theory is that distance
makes no difference, and that when his
system is properly understood intelli-
gence can be conveyed $4,000 miles as
readily as 100. As yet he has given the
public no idea of his methods, and be
steadfastly refuses to do so.

Message of the Flnsernai,s.

MeasaEe of the Flngernails.
In days when superstition was more.
prevalent, the shape and appearance Of
the flngernails were considered to
forecast ones destiny. To learn the
message of the fingernails it was usual
to rub them SO that the sunlight fell
on them. Then, on the horny, trans
parent substance certain signs were
supposed to appear from which the flu
ture could be interpreted.
Persons having certain kinds Of nails
were credited with the possession Of
certain characteristics. Thus a man
with red and spotted nails was sup
posed to have hot temper, while
pale, lead colored nails were consid-
cred to denote melancholy tempera-
ment. Narrow nails were supposed to
betray ambition and quarrelsome ma
ture, while round nails were the dis
tinguishing marks of lovers of knowl-
edge and people of liberal sentiment.
Conceited, narrow-minded and .obsti-
nate folk were supposed to have small
nails, indolent people fleshy nails. and
those of gentle, retiring nature broad
nails

Antiquity dealers in Vienna and
elsewhere have reaped rich harvest
by the marriage of Crown Princess
Stephanie, for Count Lonyay, knowing
his brides love of old treasures and
decorations, has for months past been
buying up all sorts of beautiful and
costly furniture, hangings and orna-
ments and giving almost any sum to
secure things that were particularly
rare and unique. Particular orders
were given to secure any quantity of
gold embroidery; and, in consequence,
some of the specimens are simply per-
feet and as fresh as if they had been
worked recently. Old clocks and flaw
less specimens of old china were also
sought after, as we'll as carved oak
cabinets-in short, all the delightful
things which add such charm to
home interior and make it really ar
tistic. With such an expensive home,
Countess Lonyay will never waste a
sigh on the glittering court life in
which she once played so prominent a

Heavy feeders on animal food are

Heavy feeders on animal food are
predisposed to all kinds of inflamma-
tory disorders, and when any such
person finds himself getting out of
condition he may safely hedge in the
matter of flesh food, cutting down the
amount of such food or emitting it
altogether with perfect safety. A
strict vegetarian diet, even, cannot be
called an experiment. since we know
that millions of people thrive on it,
and no one could ever starve on it.
With fruit. nuts. milk and eggs added,
no lack of variety need be felt. The
Japanese are healthy, handsome
race. They are plump and hearty but
little beyond simple vegetarian diet is
the rule there. The rikisha men walk
and trot forty miles day with a
seated passenger and seem proof
against fatigue and they thrive on a
diet chiefly of rice.

While it would have been crafty
ing to many friends of Senator Quay,
to have him seated by the senate,
they have what satisfaction is to be
gained from the bare refusal of the
senate to seat him. The question in
volved in his case deserved an ex-
preston of the senate. and more
decisive one would have been prefer
able. A difference of two votes is too
small to give emphasis such as ought
to be given in deciding one way or
another.

Young Louisiana Swell Saw Gotham for

Malon Walton Russell. scion of a
prominent Southern family, has come
to grief in New York after spasm of
sightseeing that carried everything be-
fore 1t. Russell is son of Col. Flem-
ing Russell of Louisiana, a salt-mine
operator, and partner of ex-State
senator Miles, the millionaire mining
operator of New Orleans. Young
Russell was employed in the Cotton
Exchange there and was contented
with life until one day he won s., 200
on horse race. In two weeks he won
$4,000. Then Russell packed his trunk
and came to New York. He left New
orleans on February %, losing 81 900
at poker en- route. Jumping into cab
he drove to the Waldorf and took
rooms at So a day. He wanted to be
shown to a swell" club house. He
left the place $4,000 loser. In the even
ing Russell did the tenderloin. and
three nights in the Haymarket cost
Russell $500 and a collection of Jew
elry. The next night he ran afoul of
some soubrettes. Then his money took
wings. He tried another shy at the
laro bank, which cost him $4,000. Drop
ping into the Delavan he opened wine
for the pugilists who congregate there.
he was introduced to sharkey, and
later to Corbett and Kid Mccoy. After
week more of wine, faro bank, SOU
brettes and more wine, the young man
IRON the south found himself with
Just $lOo in his pocket, after paying
hotel bill of $500 and a cab bill of
$50. The next day he spent his last
nickel for coffee and sinkers. New

Not the least alarming phase Of the
situation in South Africa is the fact
that the black natives out-number the
whites in the proportion of twelve to
one. In the case of prolonged con-
flict between the Beers and the Eng
lish the attitude of the natives is al
together uncertain. In Cape Colony
there are 100000 white residents and
four times that number of blacks. The
white population of the Transvaal is
estimated at 100000, as compared with
$4,000 natives. In Natal the total
number of whites is not more than
$4,000, while the blacks number $780,
900. In the Orange Free States the
blacks outnumber the whites in the
proportion of nearly three to one. In
Rhodesia there are 100000 natives
and white population which rela-
lively amounts to nothing. In British
Central Africa $4,000 blacks are OPP
posed to tiny band of not more than
500 English soldiers. In fact, all
