Premier Salisbury has become mex
pressibly bored with his high office,
writes London correspondent. He
has had everything he wanted in life
except peace. and he yearns for that.
He would like to potter about with
the chemical apparatus in his big la
boratory at Hatfield House, and would
rather experiment with liquefication
of hydrogen than control the destinies
of Europe. The only question now is
whether he can persuade himself to go
on through the weary round with the
next general election, which may come
in a few weeks. or may be put off till
next spring. 1t is thought not unlike
ly that he may retire the moment the
end of the Boer war is in sight. And
who comes after him? The question
is of commercial and political import
ance to the United States. and would
be highly interesting even IL 1t were
not important. / have been asking
the question of several members of
parliament. and, better yet, of press
gallery veterans, and the answer al
most invariably got around. after
some twisting and turning. the Duke
of Devonshire. not because he was any
ones warm personal choice, but be-
cause there was no one else on the
Conservative side who would make SO
little trouble in party politics or in
national affairs. Even If Lord Sails
bury remains in office till the next
election, the answer remains the same.
for unless the war department involves
the government in some new disaster.
it is believed generally that the Con-
servatives will be kept In power, al
though with a smaller majority.
The marquis became Duke of Devon
shire on the death of his father, the
seventh duke, in 1891. He is now 67,
plainness is the keynote of his life,
and the most simply furnished cham
ber in each of his houses is his. To
this quietness of life his phenomenal
health is probably due. He never was
personally attractive man; his face
is heavy, his frame lacks grace and he
has no taste In dress. One of his
greatest characteristics is faculty of
arriving just after the hour set for
the opening of parliament, cabinet
meeting, function or what not, and the
caustic Mr.. Chamberlain once raised a
laugh by referring to his grace as the
late leader" His get up is usually
that of the country squire.

manufacture and use OF bicycles. the
number Of horses Increased from H.

although the use OF the horse decreas
ed in particular directions. yet there
must have been q healthy growth In
their use in other directions During
this period tho selling value of horses
gradually declined from 373 TO tlS Per
bend. But this decrease was certainly
not due to tho number OF horses thrown
on the market As = result OF displace-
ment by electricity in propulsion Of
street cars and the general introduce

that the values OF other live stock
mules. mitch COWS. and other cattle

horses in the country fell to 1896, ,665.

there will be a continued demand for

that II will produce any moro serious

The hen may be healthy and not exer-

against exercise. Exercise is good for
