PIGEONS AND THE CHINESE
How the celest-ais Make the Bird,
 Eager for CircIIng.

The Chinese have made pigeon flylns the deeeyiug game that it is haeaust they like any kind cf playing fol keeps says St. Nicholas. Even ir kite-fying. they fly little hooks to theil kite strings and try to pull in each other'z kites, and count 1t far to keeI any kite that drops into theie yafds They will tell ycu that 6 kite or a strange pigeon that cones tc you1 place, if given up, takes away youl family luck" So you must tear the kite and keep the pigeon Hut when you see the town danGies saunterine out with their fans and bird cages to watch the noon kite flying, criticis ing the focks and their tactics. and arguing the fine points of decoying- you guess that family luck" has very little to do with their game To deeoy strange pigeons, pigeon keepers must first train their focks to "iy in spir. als, that is, to rise steadil.f in circles without straying far front the home roof. Pigeons naturally fly together in circles. Even wild pigeons wheel about in fiocks before struggling of to the fields. Chinese maEe their birds eager for eireling by keeping them shut up in a wicker house built on the ground around the doveeota, and they cure their birds of struggling by pelt- ing them with pebbles when they try to alight anywhere except on one spot the ridge-pole of the roof facing the wicker house. The flock mNst alight here in bunch, and Immediately walk down to the caves. This is done to bring any strange pigeon among them down within sight of the grain which is then scattered on the floor Of the wicker house. Pigeons are fes} =3n1y after flying, for unless hungry, they are lazy and manageable Their food is miilet, sorghum seed or corn, which their keepers use to get as much work from them as possible. When there is much flying and calling down to do, they are usually fed with millet, which is so small that it keeps them eating long time without filing them. At other times their food is sorghum seed. Corn is not very good for pig cons, but they are so fond of 1t that pigeon keepers usually have 1t OF hand to call them down when they are al e44S

Much of the Gum in the States Gomez
 From the Everglades.
 Florida is ill a fair way to become the rival in camphor production of China, Japan and Formosa. Hereto fore the world has derived it's supplies of that gum from the eountries named, but of the vast campher forests that once existed in these regions but a small portion remains. This Is the direct result of the wanton waste in the process practiced for obtaining the gum from the tree. Camphor is usual y obtained by boiling the chips of the wood and roots and bark in great ket. ties with water and eondensing the vo- iatilized gum on rushes suspended over the kettles. In this process the entire tree is cut down and even the roots dug up, but in Florida it was found that the gum could be commercially pro- duced from the leaves and twigs, sev- enty-seven pounds of which yield one pound of gum Hence the bearing tree need not be disturbed or injured in any way. as the foliage 1t bears is very dense and may be thinned down one- half without scarcely being noticed. The tree, besides, bears very great amount of pruning without injury. It Is an evergreen, and makes three growths year--in April, June and De- tober. The tree removes nothing from the soil, the gum being formed entire ly from the gases of the atmosphere. and hence the leaves, when deprived of their camphor and returned to the soil, constantly enrich the soil, which in time requires no fertilizing whatr ever. Aside from its commercial uses the campher tree is one of the most ornamental ever cultivated. it's beauti- ful shape being equaled by the arbor- vitae only. It's lower branches lie on the ground. while the top forms per feet cone. The flowers are small. but exceedingly pretty, while the leaves are of a beautiful pale, glossy green color.

STREET CARS IN ENGLAND.

london Decision That Would Cause As-
 tonishment in This Country.
 A London magistrate has just made from the bench statement which, if 1t is ever duplicated by competent court in this city, would or might have consequences terrible even to imagine. r. seems that on one ef the urban rail- ways there had been crowded train. A woman had tried to force her way into compartment already fully oc- cupied and her efforts had excited mild protest from one of the pas sengers already seated. The protest ing remarks were taken amiss by tbs woman's husband, fight followed and then an arrest of the pugnacious hus- band It is not a matter of any con- sequence whether he or the other man was at fault for the scrimmage; what $ at least interesting is the fact that the magistrate before whom the case came formally announced that nobody has right to enter railway carriage which is already full. Those who i take tickets at the starting point, he said. are entitled to seats end tickets taken at intermediate sta tions are subject to there being room for the holders. If the company issues tickets ill excess of the number of seats provided the holders may bring an ac- tion for damages, wait for the next train or demand the return of their money. Persons in a carriage which is full have legal, as well as moral right to prevent others from en- deavoring to enter it and the sooner the public understands this the bet ter, as no one has right to incon> venience passengers already in their places. Such is the English law, accord ing to this interpreter of it. Patrons of our own elevated and surface cars are not likely even to ask if there is any such law in this country. They are so we'll habituated to travelling in cruel discomfort that the impulse to make ef. tectiye protest against it has been lost

HoW WE HAVE GROWN.
Wonderful Increase in Population and
 Wealth of the United State.


 The population of the United States, which was about 5000 900 in Washing tons time, is now 75,OOO00o The larg, est city in the country then. Philadel- phia, had 69,000 inhabitants, now it has 10000 or 1,400,00O. New York, then with 55,000 population, has 3,500,- 900 today. Chicago. then hunting ground for Indians, with no place on the map until ever fourth of a cen- tury after Washingtons demise, has more population now than was be- tween the Potomac and the countrys southern line at that time. The states of New York and Pennsylvania have each at present many more in- habitants than the entire United States had 100 years ago, says Leslies Weekly. In 1799 the area of the coun- try was 827,00 square miles, while it is now 3,7G0,000. Its western bound ary, which was the Mississippi then, vas long ago advanced to the Pacific, and has now been extended to the Philippines in Asjatic waters. It's southern boundary, which was latitude 5t degrees at that time, the noftberly line of the present state of Louisiana, has, in the passing years taken in Florida, with that territory's former extension to the Mississippi, and reach ed down to the lower part of the Gulf of Mexico. It's northerly line, then the Great Lakes, has, in the case of Alaska, been stretched far north of the Arctic circle. In the year of Wash ington's death the receipts of the gov arnment were $700o, coo and it's expen- &itures $9000,O00. In the fiscal year 1929 the expenditures were s700 900, 900 and the receipts were slightly below that mark. The wealth of the eoun, try, which was less than $i GOO 000 GOO then, or much below that of the single city of New York. Is 10000 GOO 900 at the present time.

Unique Household Decorations of Carr

 When it comes to unique fancies in household decorations, Elizabeth, queen of Roumania. poet and sentiz mentalist, must be awarded the palm She was very much averse to electrie- ity for Illuminating purposes until quite recently, and Fer boudolr was lighted by crystal flowers, in the arts of which gleamed pale=eol9red lishts. The palace is filed with panel pie- lures and verses, all written by the queen. or painted by her gifted court ladies. The great dining hall is orna- mented with tall panels illustra ing the principal works of Carmen s. "a s novels. romanees and poems. The rom is very somJer, being furnished with black oak and eofdovan leather, and lighted only by stained glass winf ows. brilliant in color and representing court talls, wedding banquets and other royal festivities, but neverthe. less they prevent the sun from ne. trating the gloomy grandeur ot the apartment. I his is why the queen, ho loves beauty and harmony. strictly for bids the wearing of black or dark dresses at her table. She prefers a uniform to conventional evening dr ss. and does not shrink from fancy dress if it be gay and pretty. The que. IS ladies in waiting are chosen from the prettiest and cleverest girls in Roumania, and several fine musicians and talented amateur actresses and artists are to be forad among them.

WON DERfUL LAKE
Filled With Rolling Acids That Fac
 Bnats to Piecea

DpsttH to ASfScee,
 4 strange lake exists In the center of Sulphur island, off New aealand. It Is 50 acres in extent, about 12 feet in depth and 15 feet aSove the level of the sea. The most remarkable char aeteristie of this lake is that the water contains vast quantities of hydro chloric and sulphurie acids, hissing and bubbling at a temperature of 116 degrees Fahrenheit The dark green. colored water looks particularly unin. viting. Dense clouds of sulphGric fumee constantly roll off Shis boiling caldron, and care has to be exercised in ap- preaching this lake to avoid the risk Of suffocation. On the opposite sioe of the lake may be seen the tremendous blowholes, which, when in full blast. present an awe=inspiring sight The roar of the steam as 1t rushes forth into the air is deafening, and often huge powders and stones are hurled out to height of several hundred feet by the various internal forces of na. ture A boat can be launched on the lake, and, if proper care be observed the very edges of the blow-holes may se safely explored. Some idea of the strength of the acid-saturated water of this lake may be gathered from the fact that a boat almost dropped to pieces after all the passengers had beer landed as the rivets had eorroded un. der the influence of the acids.

ATll!ionafn<a in -PrnAAia.

According to a European print of the eleven richest persons in Prussia, with fortune of over 30,000,000 marks, four live in Silesia, two each in Hesse- Mas sau and Rhine-Prussia, one in Vest phalia and two in Berlin. Within the district of Potsdam, which comprises the suburbs of Berlin, there are now residing 136 millionaires, against 109 in 1898, showing an increase of twenty three per cent. Among the millionaires twenty-three Gas against thirty-two in 1S97) have an actual annual income of not exceeding 5000 marks; they are principally owners of building lots in the outskirts of the city, three of whom live iR Berlin and five in the districts of Potsdam. As regards the income, there are in Prussia 148 persons having an annual revenue of 500,000 marks against 128 in 1897, and only 103 in 1896. Of this number forty-nine (against forty-three in 1897 and twen- ty-seven in 1896), have an income of upward of 100000 marks, and of these millionaires fourteen live In Berlin, thirteen in Hesse-Nassau, ten ip Rhine-Prussia and two in Saxony

1t looks very much at the present time
as if the Republican county convention
will be called for the last week In this
month, and Secretary Schultz, Of the
county committee, has been interviewing
members of the committee and their pros
pectfve candidates as to their preferences.
1t is understood that there will be a
meeting Of the committee at once to set
tie the date for the holding of the con-
vention,w which will no doubt be the most
idotous convention ever held in Ramsey
county There are a number of candi-
dates seeking the nomination for almost
every Office on the ticket, and from the
light thew DIJttin<g II will ba
fight to the finish with all concerned.
There are some of the Republican pol
lticians who have talked of holding the
convention Sept. 1, but as a matter Of
fact almost all of the prospective candi-
dates are making arrangements to go out
for day or twO's hunting on that daR
and they are very much opposed to hold
ing the convention on the 1st for that
reason.
The question of the election of a chair
man for the convention is causing quite
little anxiety among the seekers Of
nominations, but it is very likely that
either Moses Ciapp or T. L. Schurmeier
will be chairman
Former Attorney General H. w. ChiIds
is being talked of for the nomination Of
county attorney on the Republican ticket
Some of the politicians, however, think
he would not accept the nomina ton.
Just at the present time Peter Van
EIoven seems to have little the best of
it in the race for the nomination Of
sheriff on the Democratic ticket Ed L.
Murphy is making a hard fight to land it,
and is very confident There is a pos
stbility, however, of a new candidate
springing up for the nomination that will
give both Murphy and Van HOven a hard
run for the nomina ton.

ical violence. At this time and under the
circumstances attending the death OF
Humbert and the assault on the shah,
there is not a single attendant event to
which the true hater Of monarchical or alb
solute political rule can point with pleas
ure or advantage to his principles.
The sentiment of the American people
is no more favorable to monarchism than
1t ever was. 1t has but little of con-
demnation to visit on the man who In
the effectuation Of legitimate purpose
finds 1t necessary to assail the person of
even the supreme ruler Of the land whose
political conditions are recognized as hos
tile to individual or national freedom.
But in such case as the one at present
under consideration no rational lover Of
liberty can conceive it allowable to sus-
tain the half-frenzied and foolish effort
at murder which is involved in the pro-
gramme of the associates of the man
Bresci.
Their warfare is not against monarch
ism. 1t is against social and political or
der. What they conceive to be In the line
Of their duty with reference to the king
of Italy or the shah of Persia is equally
so with reference to the president Of the
French or of the American republic.
They recognize no essential difference in
the political systems represented by GIe
republic and the empire, and that line
of revolutionary policy which they deem
proper for adoption with reference to a
representative of royalty is equally ac-
ceptable as applied to the ruler of a re-
public.
Under such circumstances the duty Of
the state and local authorities of the
United States is plain. There must be no
more liberation of the conduct of those
men than is extended to any other form
of conspiracy to murder. The brood
which has been Matched out in Paterson,
N. j., must be destroyed. 1t is not only
inimical to individual life, It is hostile to
civil liberty and order; and the nation
which makes demand of the United
States for the surrender of any man en-
gagged in those conspiracies has the same
right to secure such surrender as If the
murder was that of any ordinary person
IN civil life.

Fepaved at his own expense. The work
was satisfactorily completed. The surprise
of Hop Sing was only equaled by his
Indignation when, on awakening one
morning, he found a gang of coolies up
heaving the newly tagged street. His
surprise grew when he heard from the
mandarin's own lips that the men were
there at his orders. you see. my dear
friend said the mandarin, Il am ex-
pecting the head inspector round here In
few days. Now, If he were tc see
the beautiful pavement you have laid
down in your street he would come to the
conclusion that there was money about,
and he would assuredly bleed every vein
in my body This would mean my ruin.
Don't you see why your pavement really
must come up? 1t cost me one fortune
to secure my post. 1 don't want TO
spend another in keeping it.
The crowd began to gather as soon as
the man fell down. One of the thought
fuI ones ran to a drug store and rang
up an ambulance and for a few moments
great changing and gathering was
heard down the street. Then the am
buIance drew alongside the curb, says
the Washington Post, the natty young
physician dismounted. from the rear step,
and the crowd standing around the man
who had fallen formed a lane for him to
pass through. 1t required only a glance
for the natty young physician TO see
what allied the man.
Frustrated by the heat" he said. cool
ly, to the crowd Anybody here know
him?"
There was no reply. but just as the
ambulance men were about to pick up
the PROSTATE man stout man pushed
his way through the crowd, glanced at
the limp form of the victim of the heat,
and said
Here, you can just fetch him up to
my house. He lives with my family.

SUNDAY, AUG. 5. 1900.
CONSPIRACY TO MURDER.

The killing of King Humbert and the
attempt to kill the shah of Persia are
shown to be the clear result Of the plot
tings Of anarchists. According to current
statements, both assaults were part of a
preconcerted plan for the murder of GER
tain Of the ruling monarchs of today.
Regicide is evidently the leading princi-
pie of conduct on which the anarchist sec
ton now rest their activity. The evidence
Of aggregate worthlessness which is af-
forded by the exposure of their murder
Dus schemes reveals the low caliber of the
men who engage themselves in so serious
an undertaking. Setting themselves up as
the representatives of the vanguard of
physical revolution they are revealed to
view as little more than a coterie of bar
room conspirators.
When Prince Krapotzin wrote his ceIe-
brated memoirs he succeeded for the time
in throwing the glamor of intellectual
and moral endeavor around the operations
of the anarchist section Of continental
Europe. But that has long since been dis
PEELED. The anarchism which was repre-
scented by men Of the Krapotkin type was
nothing less exalted than love of liberty
and humanity. He and those Immediately
associated with him in his revolutionary
undertakings were humanitarians, sci
men who set themselves to the task of
assassinating the reigning sovereigns Of
the world are shown by the developments
thus far made to be of the very lowest
type Of private and public disturbers
The excuses Of the monarchical system
in various countries at various times have
wrought up the people to the commission
of crimes Of physical violence directed to-
ward the representatives of royalty. The
events which Immediately preceded the
assassination of the Russian car were
such as to arouse the popular fury to
white heat The bomb which fell at the
feet of Russia's ruler was not prepared
by knot of hair-brained disturbers, such
as gather in the saloons Of either Europe
or America. 1t was the product of a
course Of malign and foolish persecution
addressed against every man within the
cars dominions who was supposed to
entertain liberal thought on the sub
ject of the powers and responsibilities of
those entrusted with the destinies of ma
tons under the monarchical system. The
events of that period. eliminating in the
death of the car. were such as might
naturally lead up to an outbreak of polit-
