Fifteen years ago our friend Pierre
Lavalle was lucky young fellow or
20 years. He was rich, good-Iook1ng,
robust in health, and of nature TO
avail himself of his advantages. HIS
father sent him around the world. In
Chile he had as a guide a most intel
ligent man of excellent family and
between them a friendship arose. The
guide pretended to have discovered rich
veins of silver in the mountains, but
he feared to be forestalled and dared
trust no one. At the moment OF their
separation Pierre offered him thou
sand francs. Jose Alvarado thanked
him with a dignified air and said:
In ten years I shall be rich and
you are my partner
Then he wrote in the young mans
journal this memorandum:

Concerning Dukes. EorLs and

The telegraph thrills and trembles
with the startling information that the
duke of Manchester has poached eggs
for breakfast on Monday morning,
and that this evening he expects to go
to vaudeville entertainment. Under
the ocean and across the continent
comes word that the Count de Castel-
lane hardly sees how he can get along

The press is stopped to announce that
the Earl of Yarmouth is "real mad"
at his Grace of Manchester, who re-
fused to shake hands with him at
dress rehearsal of a cake walk Do
the newspapers mistake the temper
of their clientage, or is it true today as
in the time of John G. SAKE that the
people of the great republic do dearly
love a Lord? Neither Manchester nor
Yarmouth has any claim on public at
tention outside of the accidental cir
cumstance that both of them have in
herited titles One is playing small
part in a vaudeville company; the
other has married rich American
girl. Neither has ever shown any
ability except in the direction of

The L1e-@oorne cerofce.

The annual report of the Federal
Life Saving Service is one that is read
by few and cuts little figure among
the department publications, and yet
it deserves to be widely read as a rec
ord of heroism and service to human
ity performed by the life guardsmen
who patrol our ocean and lake coasts
to save life and property. During the
last fiscal year 700 shipwrecked per-
sons have received help at the sta
lions. The value of property imperil-
ed was SO. 737, 260, and of property lost
81, 500. Out of 3,436 persons whose
lives were in danger only fifty-three
were lost. To accomplish these results

Rapfd Fruif .sten, CHOPPER,

In sections of the country where
large crops of fruit are harvested every
year it is a tiresome task to pull each
individual apple, pear or peach from
the tree with the hands, and yet this
is necessary in order to preserve the
fruit to the best advantage. As an aid
in accomplishing this work, Califor-
mia man has designed the fruit clipper
which is illustrated herewith. 1t conn
prises pair of blades pivoted togeth-
er at one end and provided with rings
to attach the clipper to the thumb and
forefnger. A slight pressure with the
thumb and finger is sufficient to close
the knives and sever the STEM 1t
will be noticed that the clipper allows
the use of the hand to catch the fruit
the moment the stem is severed, thus
enabling it to be gathered rapidly
with one hand, while the other is used

A Case. of O,oercapffaHsafio,


Complaint was made to the Inter
state Commerce commission by BUSH
ness men of Danville, Va, that the
freight rates on the Southern railway
were too high. The commission, after
taking evidence, decided against the
railroad company and ordered a re-
duction in rates. The road recently
asked for a rehearing on the ground
that obedience to the decision would
involve loss of $433 900 year, a sum
the company alleged it could not af-
ford to lose, considering that in 1899
no dividend was paid on it's common
stock of $12O, 000, 900.
The commission was not moved by
this argument 1t is said that the
common stock was issued as apart of
the scheme of reorganization of the
road, and that sit does not rest in the
within of reorganization committee
in Wall street to impose tax upon
that whole southern country" So the
rehearing was refused.

prophecy: "As soon as he is defunct
the city which is to be the boosted
monument of his greatness will also
be defunct-" That Englishman un-
doubtedly believed that the republic
would also become defunct, but he did
not count upon the enduring qualities
of the foundation upon which the re-
public was built. The Englishman was
not alone in thus voicing the cry of
vanity against Gen. Washington, but
it was noticeable that few of the dis
tinguished men who were in public

On the contrary, they appear to have
heartily approved of the action of the
commissioners and were glad that the
name of the greatest American was to
be perpetuated by a. city which would
forever remain a monument to the
service which he had performed for his
country.
The .SIxfb CONGRESS.
When congress began it's sessions
in Washington, Nov. II. 1900, it found
the capitol anything but an inspiring
spectacle. Only the northernmost of
the old wings was finished, and that
was badly constructed. The senate
chamber was mostly of wood and
plaster. The rotunda had not been
built, though it's foundations had been
previously laid. Across this founda-
ton was constructed a platform, al
lowing members to pass from the sen
ate to the house side without being ex-
posed to the weather. This passage
was covered with rough pine boards,
something after the way in which the
sheds of brickyards are covered
The Supreme Court of the United
States seeing that no preparations
had been made for them in Washing
ton continued to meet in its comfort
able Philadelphia quarters, until Feb.
2, 1901. It's members, like those of
congress, were loath to begin their du-
ties. Two adjournments had to be
taken before there appeared in Febru-
