Lady Churchin's Wit.

Lady Randolph Churchill has inher- tied the wit of her father, Uncle Lar ry" Jerome, as she demonstrated upon one occasion to an eminent British politician. He was somewhat annoyed at the campaign she had made, and said: ''I really don't understand, ma dam. why or how it is that American ladies refuse to enter political life in their own country, but overwhelm ua here in England" " That is because you never travelled in the states. The men there are so intelligent and patriotic that they do not require the services of our sex as an educating force. The Argonaut.

Lew Wallace on the Sultan.

Gen. Lew Wallace, the author of Ben Hur,' and former United States minister of Turkey, said of the sul- tan: q think I am better acquainted with the sultan of Turkey than pos sibly any other American and know that he is an honest man and I never knew him to break promise. Not a Christian church is burned or mis- slon destroyed but the sultan is the first man to subscribe to rebuilding. l know this to be so. Abdul Hamid is a distinguished scholar and diplomat; if it were not so the Ottoman empire would have been wiped out long ago, for the hand of every ruler i'll Europe is against him. He prevents them from acting together and thus pre- serves his throne"

STONES OF INFAMY.
Memorials of Crime That Are Found
 In Ancient Genoa.

In Ancient Genoa.
 Some stones of Genoa tell of treach- cry and crime, and as stones of infamy are, we believe, peculiar to Genoa. They belong to later and more degen- crate times than those of the noble Dorias and their victories. Here is one inscription on a pillar in the Via del Campo: .In infamous memory of Julius Caesar Vacchero most abane doned Of men, who, for having conspired against the republic, with his head cut off, with his goods confseated, with his sons banished, and with his house destroyed, expiated his well-earned punishment in the year of grace 1928" This Vacchero, a man of low birth. but wealthy, aspired to high dignity in the town, and plotted to betray the place fo Charles Emmanuel, of Savoy, and to massacre the Doge and leading mo- bles. He had his reward, as the above inscription plainly shows. Here is an other stone of infamy: "To John Paul Balbi worst of men, vile assassin, a clipper of gold coin and an utterer of false,a notorious thief and an infamous extortioner of tribute, declared a state traitor for conspiring against the re- public, his property eonfscated, his sons prescribed, he himself condemned to the halter, this stone has been raised to his eternal shame in the year 1850" This Balbi was engaged in a plot to betray the town to the French in the time of Mazarin. Although his plot was discovered, he contrived to ef- feet his escape, and spared the labors of the hangman. The third stone tells of Raphael della Torre, despoiler by every artifice of other mems goods, a vile murderer, an associate of thieves, a pirate in his own waters, a traitor and an enemy Of the state, who in- cured for plotting the ruin of the re- public punishmenta less great than his { crimes, was sentenced to be twice fsHanged, to have his property contis- cated, his sons banished, and his houses destroyed Through this last ing monument of infamy may his name be loathsome. Year of our Lord 1672.'

SINGING AT THEIR WORK.
Darkies Accomplish Much More When
 They Can Make Music.

Contractors in south Missouri en- ties on the ears of the Memphis rail- way, says the Kansas City Star. The ties are cut in the woods, hauled to the railway in wagons and dumped in piles along the side Of the roads. The negroes then take them up, tie by tie,
 the cars, where they drop them in
 regular order. These negroes are paid price for. each tie they carry, so they vie with one another to earn the most
 money in one day. They become so expert at the work that an old hand can throw a heavy tie on his shoulder so that it will balance, and then, with
 out holding it, he will run, both hands
 pressed flat against his sides, up tho
 gang plank to the car. The negroes { are so accustomed to the whrk that thH seldom drop a tie and seem never
 to have sore shoulders. One may see gangs of dozen or more of them, all singing and whistling. Each sings at the top of his voice or whistles as loud as he can, and every tune is different. The effect is amusing, but beyond de- seription. The men carry their ties at trot all day long. An inspector z stands beside the plank that goes Up & the car to examine the ties being load ed It is amusing to hear the inspec- tor call negro halfway up the plank With tie on his shoulder to throw it #aWay among the heap of bad ties. The #negro gets no credit for his load and @soes back swearing at his bad luck, # #whlle his companions stop their music #and burst into loud, uncomfortable &laughter. All these negro tie carriers #h nave deep grooves in the right shoul #der, where the ties have pressed, but
 1ne fesh is calloused and seldom sore.
 ne men make good wages, most of hem S3.5O day. They spend all of
 ". Very few of them save their
 money.

4 Thief's CIeverness.

We do not remember to have seen For long time a more curious case of \ tnlef's cleverness than that which was recorded at Clerkenwell. Solomon Puiller, who, with a companion, was convicted of burglary III jewellers hop, managed to conceal two diamond lngs in spite of the most thorough earch by the police, and contrived to 2ass one of them away to his wife hen ne was in the cells, putting it llo her mouth by means of his tongue hen kissing her'' The other he kept nuer his tongue all the time he was naer arrest, and 1t would probably esef nave been found at all if his pmpanlon had not exposed him in Purt, and so induced the judge to Faer careful inspection of his mouth.

One Reason Why American Machinery
 Is Not More Popular.

Is Not More Popular.
 A gentleman who has travelled much and has very large interest in Amer ican export trade said, in conversation the other day, that the principal draw back to wider extension of American commerce in certain parts of the world IS that manufacturers in the United States do not sufficiently study the wants, the customs and the tastes of their prospective customers. For ex- ample.' he said, "a certain American firm sent some electrical goods, which were decorated in green, to Japan. They did not sell any. No Japanese would bring such things into his house; it would mean an invitation to the evil deities. Green is an evil color in Japan. What a Japanese wants is red things. Upon this simple matter of color rests the failure of that manu- faeturer to succeed in export trade" A German employer of labor sa |: q like American machines so far as their performance of their work is con eerned, but they demoralize my men. They come here in sober eolors of paint and with no bright parts. The men who attend the machines do not have any brass to keep clean or any surfaces to rub, and they get lazy. The Gefman workman needs to be kept busy with things of this sorte Here, now, are some practical instances of what the American manufacturer must lear2 before he can attain the widest success in sthe new field of foreign trade. Do not send to Germanay cata- logues in the English language or to Japan things decorated in green. or to the isthmus of Panama anything with blue spots in it. It looks as if we need in this country commercial kinder garten in which such information as the above may be taught to those of a curious and inquiring mind for their everlasting benefit and profit.

 Syneope, CT fainting. results from an Inadequate supply of blood to the brain. The patients head should. therefore. be lowered. and all tight bands loosened in order to promote free circulation. Let there be a gen erous supply of fresh air. being care ful at the same time to avoid draughts. Friction may be applied to the ex- tremities, always remembering to rub towards, not from. the heart. Cold water dashed over the face will often assist in reviving the patient, and smelling salts are often used as re- Btoratiye. In the case of strong smell- Ing salts. one should never hold the bottle for any length of time close to she nostrils of an unconscious person. but pass it to and fro at some little distance from the face Perhaps the safest way is to hold the cork or stop per of the bottle near the patients nostFls, as that will answer all pur- poses and prevent injurious effects.
