"BoiIed Eggs" at San Juan.

The most amusing sights grow out OF
the attempts of tie numerous Ameri-
cans who drop into San Juan, to con-
verse with the native Porto Ricans. A
correspondent mentions the case Of a
loud voiced American in the breakfast
room of Il hotel who was vociferating
wildly in the midst of an interested
crowd. He was shaking his fists and
yelling Boiled eggs" at short inter-
vals. If he had said eggs" merely.
some one might have understood, but
"boiled eggs" spoken as one word, floor
ed everybody. Then he began to scold
the natives for lot of donkeys and
fools, and wanted toknow whether they
had ever gone to school.
''COol, cool, yes" cried the head wait
er. 81 know coolr' lie ran away and
soon came back with plate Of cracked
ice. At this stage, the American was
on the point Of exploding with wrath,
when friend, who understood Spanish,
stepped up and Strengthened out the
affair.

Under the Sea.

A tunnel under the Bosphorus has
been talked of many times. There is
large traffic between the two sides OF
the Bosphorus and the delay caused by
the opening and shutting of the bridge
of boats which now forms the only con-
necton is great drawback. The rail
road company is now constructing its
lines on both sides, but this will not be
of very great avail until the lines can
be connected. Tunnelling by the ordin-
airy methods is hindered by the fact that
the water is extremely deep and there
is twenty or thirty feet of mud at the
bottom. 1t has been proposed to sus-
pend or float tunnel some thirty-five
feet below the surface of the water,
thus allowing uninterrupted passage to
vessels Of even large drafts. 1t is I'M
possible to state whether this plan can
be carried out or not. There seems to
be great engineering difficulties in the

ing the development Of his estate in
the spirit of wise economy, the Duke
took an active interest in the lighter
diversions of English country life. He
was. an ardent sportsman, and the
Eaton stables are among the most IA
nous establishments of their kind.
The Duke was rather careless and
shabby in his dress, and his life at
Eaton Hall was that of an ordinary
country gentleman. To his household
the Duke was ever an enigma. He rare
iy spoke to his house servants, but with
such personages as his head coachman
and stud groom he was on most affable
and confidential terms.
The heir to the dukedom, with all OF
its vast wealth. is the late Dukes
grandson, Viscount Belgrave, now in
South Africa, an aid-de-camp of Sir
Alfred Milner, the Governor of Cape
Colony.

Latin and italian,

In the fifteenth century Leonardo
Bruni, surnamed EAretinO, from his
birthplace, Arezzo, maintained that
the Italian language was coeval with
the Latin, and that both were used at
the same time in Ancient Rome-Ital-
ian by the common people and Latin
by the learned and polished in their
writings and assemblies. Cardinal
Bembo, who died in the middle of the
sixteenth century, maintained yle
same theory, which was also defended
during the last century by Francesca
Saverio Quadrio. Generally speaking,
philologists of to-day believe that the
Italian language is a branch of the
provincial Latin of the Empire, min
gled with barbaric words, but the Mar
qus Scipio Maffei rejects this theory,
and believes that modern Italian was
gradually formed by the corruption Of
the classic Italian without any ad-

Tn, 1ouerlest People on Earth.

Perhaps the most isolated tribe of
people in the world is the Tshuktshi,
people occupying the northern portion
of the peninsula of Kamskatka and the
country northward toward Bering
straits.
These people are practically indepen-
dent of Russia, who appears TO have
reason of her own for letting them
alone. They have practically no COM
muEication with the outside world, and
have only been visited two or three
times-the last time by Major de Windt
on his journey through Siberia.
The inhabitants of the New Siberian
Islands are also practically alone on
earth, for they can only communicate
with the mainland and therefore with
the rest of the world, once a year, and
a succession of bad seasons might
isolate them for years. The pygmies
of the great Central African forests, IL
they can be called a tribe, have also
been people apart. For ages their ex-
istence was little more than legendary,
and only two expeditions commanded
by white men have ever penetrated
into their abode.-Pearson' Weekly.

GOOD STORY TELLER.
Justice Brewer Delights in Entertain
ing His Many Friends.

Justice Brewer Delights III Entertain
ing His Many Friends.
One of the most genial Of judicial
dignitares at Washington is Associate
Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court.
He is an admirable story-teller and fire.
quently amuses his colleagues and
friends by the droll yarns he relates.
He told one recently that caused
broad smile to corrugate the faces of
the grave and reverend gentlemen who
compose the highest tribunal In the
land Out in Indiana, he said, there
WAS a justice of the peace who owned
a farm. One line Of his fence formed
the boundary of the States of Indiana
and Ohio. Like others in rural dis
tricts who hold that Office he had an
abnormal appreciation of the RESPONSE
bility of the office and never lost an
opportunity to exercise his prerogative
of demanding that the peace be pre-
served. One day his son and his hired
man got to fighting on a stretch of the
farm near the boundary line fence and
the justice of the peace rushed out and
mounted the fence. Then, with head
cooked high and the air of one who
has but to command, he shouted: In
the name Of the State Of Indiana | de-
mand the preservation of the peace"
Just then the fence gave way under
his weight and as he soon went down
with the fence topping over to the
Ohio side he shouted to his son: Give
him the mischief, Jim; I've lost my
juriSdictionr'
Judge Brewer is firm believer in
the value of plain, convincing argu-
ment, undecorated by language of the
flowery type, as opposed to high-soar-
ing dissertations. When he was study
ing law in New York City he evinced
some interest in the municipal cam
paign then on and was invited to make
a speech on a certain occasion. He ac-
cepted and carefully fortifying himself
with information on the subject and
otherwise preparing for his part Of the
program he appeared on the platform
in ample time. When he got up he
made an eloquent depletion of the vir-
tues Of his party; be made deep
draughts on simile and metaphor: his
sentences were exquisitely rounded
and it was a mastery example Of a
class-day grafton. The audience sat
unmoved, an occasional nod alone
greeting what he said. The next speak
er was an unkempt individual, careless
of grammar, who committed whole
sale slaughter Of the English language.
But he made several good points in a
crude way that appealed to the crowd,
and when he ended the applause was
deafening AS the then wOuld-be law
yer with the fine periods passed out a
man behind, not recognizing him, whis-
pered in his ear: Il like that second fel,
ler better; he talks sense"

Bryan's Chances.

That William j. Bryan's chances for
election to the Presidency in 1900 are
excellent cannot be doubted, although
the Republicans are boasting that Nc
Kinley has a "sure thing
1t is a significant fact that $4,000
votes cast in the right States in 1896 for
Bryan would have made him President.
A slight change of ballots in four South
ern States would have defeated Nc
Kinley This being the case, the pres
ent incumbent of the White House is
far from having a "sure thing"
Bryan secured one of the Kentucky
electors and Mckinley got the other
twelve by plurality not exceeding PSI
votes. The other three States of the
South were carried by Mckinley by a
plurality vote of 1887 in Delaware,
11,4S7 in West Virginia and 32,232 in
MARYLAND. California gave Mckinley
eight out of the seventeen electoral
votes by plurality of only 1,922, while
Indiana gave the Republican candidate
a plurality of 1851.
This makes a total of about $4,000
which changed for Bryan would have
made him President.

McK;uIeyism as N Luxury.

That the election of William Mckin-
ley has proved an expensive expert
ment, amounting to a luxury nor of
any benefit TO a free people, is demon
strated every day. If the country has
not been plunged into the worst tinan-
clal distress it ever experienced is due
to the good luck of famine, increase of
demand for American productions,
quality of workmanship and various
other causes not connected with any
thing Mr. Mckinley has ever advocat-
ed or brought to us any more than a
comet is the cause of the measles. In
fact every act of his administration
has been in direct violation of the pub
lie welfare and for the advantage of
special interests and private concerns.
Our burden of taxation is now so
heavy that the public treasury is over
laden with the peoples money, and
there is no way devised to get rid of t
other than to turn it over to the same
spectators that put Mckinley in Of
flee. Here is the official record, and it
is a very bad showing for any admin
istration to give the people in Justiiica-
ton of its retention in power.
