Time Sysrcrz.

The twenty-four hour system of keeping time has just become the of icial standard in France said Mir. Jules Lacori. of Paris, at Chamber lains.
 The twenty-four hour clocks are al ready an established institution in Russia, and 1 believe that their official sanction in our country will lead to the adoption of the system on French rail- roads, which would surely lead to the extension of the plan throughout Italy Switzerland and Spain. I should think considering the manifest merits of the new way, the railways of the United States, which are the most progressive in the world, would soon take it up and have done with the ancient system, so confusing and misleading through the enforced use of a. m. and D. m. The twenty-four hour clock system Is an ideal one for the railways, absolutely preventing all danger through the dup lication of hours for day and night. It is the eSzning system. and ' look to zee it iI operation in America in the sear future. Washington Pcgt4

The Remains Of Paul Jones.

The remains of Paul Jones, the American sailor of the revolutionary war, having been located in an ob- scure Paris cemetery, which has long since been built over, desire has been expressed to have the remains, if they can be located, removed to the United States. But the American colony in Paris has another plan. If Washing ton consents, it intends to buy the ground, remove the encumbering houses, and create public square. Over the grave of Paul Jones it would erect monument-a symbol of the old friendship of the two republics. In view of the object, the cost would be insignificant. The Paris authorities have intimated that they will gladly second the project. Long ago they named streets after Washington, Franklin and other American heroes. Paul Jones Square" would be a worthy addition to the list.

Kitchener in School.

Dr. Butler, the present master of Trinity college, Cambridge, may be re- garded as the man who exercised the most influence on Lord Kitehener's career. It was found, upon the death of his father. that the family resources were so s1raitened that it would be difficult to keep the future hero of Om- durman at Harrow school. Dr. But Ter, who was then the head master of the school, wanted to know why such clever lad was leaving. He was frankly told, and replied: '"rhe boy will reflect honor on the school; he must stay here. There will be no charge. will only request that he may. not be told of this arrangement at present, as it might break his high spirit "-New York Press.

 The Flight of Empress Eug.n1e.
 The true story of the flight of the Empress Eugenie from the Tuilleries will soon be publi~h I'd. It is now in the form of a manuscript left by Dr. T. W. Evans, the American dentist, who accompanied the Empress in her flight to England. Dr. Crane. who aided Dr Evlns in protecting Eugene and accelerating her flight, says he only awaits decision of the court be- fore publishing this contribution to French history The reason why it was not published during Dr. Evans life- time is because it deals hard blows at those who d serted the Empress in her hour of trial. Now that most of the chief actors in the drama of 1870 have passed away. the venerable ex-Empress has exls-ssed the wish that this inter- esting manuscript be published,

The NAVAJO RESERVE.
Another Effort to Be Made to Throw il
Open to Mineral Entries,

Delegate Wilson Of Arizona intro
duced a bill in the house Of representa-
tives to open the Navajo Indian reser-
walton in New Mexico and Arizona for
mining purposes, which it is believed
will not invite the opposition exhibited
toward the former bill which passed
congress for this purpose, and was We
toed by the president. The measure au-
thorizes the secretary of the interior to
permit mining on the reservation north
Of latitude 36 degrees 80 minutes, and
west of longitude Ill degrees, and speci-
fies that a reasonable price shall be
charged for mining lands thus located
not exceeding the price fixed by law for
mineral lands. The money paid for
lands on the reservation shall be paid
into the treasury for the benefit of the
Navajo Indians.
The lands sought to be opened for
mining purposes are said to contain
some of the richest copper deposits of
the west, and a number of New Mexico,
Arizona and Utah miners are impa-
tiently awaiting permission to make To-
cations.
