Extract from love story in a popu-
lar magazine:
He had no sooner glued his eyes to
hers, which were of deep violet color,
than his heart began to beat with
rapidity. A choking sensation per-
vaded his entire being, and but for the
presence of an arm chair, ne would
have fallen semiconscious at her feet.
Rousing himself with an effort, he
possessed himself of her hand and ap-
praised her of his affection, to which
she replied in excellent French
Ambrose Bierce, in the San Francisco
Examiner.

French marshal, who died some years
ago in exile in Spain, died at a prl-
vate hospital in the City of Mexico.
Louise Masset, a French governess,
who was convicted of the murder of
her illegitimate 3-year-old son, was
hanged at Newgate, England. 1t Is
said the existence of the child was
an obstacle to a marriage she had In
view.
The French government has de-
manded an apology from Santo Do
mingo. The money required to pay
the French claims has been collected,
and the only remaining question Is
that connected with the demand for an
apology.

given to Spaniards. One of the places
where those conditions prevailed was a
small town not far from Santiago,
where General Wood was particularly
anxious to secure good Cuban mayor,
but he had been warned in advance
that none of the men considered avail
able would dream of taking the post.
One day the principal storekeeper of
the town came to the palace to see
about small contract for fodder. He
was typical native of the mercantile
class, fat, garrulous and conceited, and
it was evident that he was the chief
gossip of his neighborhood. After con-
Guiding the business matter the gen.
eral pretended to consult a letter. BY
the way, senor,' he said, you are an
old resident of this country, and l
would like you to give me a little adj
vice. 1 am at your EXcellency's SER
vice. said the storekeeper, swelling
with pride. is it true, then, as is
stated to me, continued the general,
that the Cuban gentlemen are very in
differently educated and fear to accept
civil offices lest they appear to disad-
vantage compared with Spanish en-
ployes?' No. your Excellency!'
roared the Cuban, Indignantly, that's
all Spanish lies! Some scoundrel
Spaniard wrote you that to make you
prejudiced! Our Cuban gentlemen
and he poured forth his wrath and pa
triotism for nearly half an hour All,
WELL said Wood, quietly, L merely
wanted your opinion and am sure I'm
very much obliged. You'll consider
this conversation private, of course
Certainly said the storekeeper, and,
as the general anticipated, he hurried
home and told it to everybody in town.
A few days later one of the leading
Cuban citizens was appointed mayor,
and at once accepted. He is still adj

A GRACIOUS QUEEN.

The Right Honorable Sir Fleetwood
Edw2rls, Keeper of her majesty's privy
purse, writes to the marquis of Lans-
downe, secretary of state for war:
The queen commands me to inform
you of her anxiety to make some lit
tie personal present to her soldiers in
south Africa, and she has decided on
sending chocolate. 1t will be packed
for each man in tin specially de-
signed for the occasion. 1t will be suit
able for eating or for making a beve-
rage. One hundred thousand tins
have been ordered. Daily Paper.
All hail to Britain's generous queen,
She keeps her soldier boys in mind;
More generous soul was never seen,
More thoughtful queen you cannot
find.
Her armies swarm the land, the sea;
Her flag is everywhere unfurled;
Her soldiers strive with loyalty
That she, some day, may rule the
world.
In Africa her soldiers fight
To drive the beers from their do
main,
And feel they're fighting for her right,
And that they will not fight in vain.
They risk their lives at her behest
(They know they're mentioned in
her prayers)-
For her they do their very best
(And every victory sends up shares)
And their good queen, benevolent,
Her royal privy purser tells:
Il want, at once, to these men sent
One hundred thousand caramels.
And put them in artistic shape,
In tins, with royal arms and such,
And send them quickly to the cape
l want my men to beat the Dutch"
And now each Tommy Atkins strives
Against the beers with gun and
sword,
For well he knows, If he survives,
He'll get his gracious queens re-
ward.
And with his chocolate in hand
(Which more to him will mean than
wealth.,
He'll make a drink in that far land
In which to quaff his sovereign's
health.

| Numerous comments on Professor
Loeb's discovery made by prominent
biologists are gathered into an edi-
torial in the Topeka Capital (Novem-

fessor Gage of Cornell speaks of II as
follows The development of ami

without fertilization-is a well-known
phenomenon in nature. 1t is found in
animals, even so high in the scale as
the honey-bee. Judging from the re-
suits of researches already made in
experimental embryology, it does not
seem incredible that parthenogenesis
might be brought about experimentally
in simple animals: but that the
method will ever succeed with the
higher ones and with man probably
the most enthusiastic experimenter
would doubt"

is very difficult in experiments to rear

Professor Loeb's results, if they are
as represented, are certainly note
worthy, and may even prove epoch
making, although it does not quite

CHRISTMAS WISH.

| wish that good old Santa ~
Would travel like a show,
And to his tent of playthings
For nothing let me go;
And take along my stockings,
To fill in laughing glee
With all the things he fondly
Hangs on the Christmas tree.
I'd see the pasteboard camel
Wink at the kangaroo;
I'd see the china wombat
And quagga chase the gnu:
I'd see the rubber ostrich
Serenely wink his eye
To see the monkey capture
The peanut on the fly.
And then I'd see old Santa
With all his books OF rhymes:i
I'd grab him by the whlskers
And kiss him fifty times,
And on his back go riding
Beneath the fairy dome,
And with lot Of playthings
Go running gaily home.
Tis then think old Santa
Should up and go away,
And In some other village
Put up his tent next day:
And then go on still further,
And further still and still,
To let all lovely children
Their great big stockings fill.
'Twould then be always Christmas.
All musical with joy,
And bending tree and turkey
And hobby-horse and toy;
For while upon his travels
Old Santa'd scatter cheer;
He'd make a Christmas somewhere
Each day throughout the year.
