WANTED ROYAL VISITORS.
Paris Diaappofntcd That more Of
Them DID Not Attend the
Exposition.

Disguise Il as you may, republican
France has been bitterly disappointed
at the absence OF the principal crowned
heads Of Europe from the exposition,
but most Of all at that Of the Russian
sovereign France considered-and not
unjustly-that so much was due to her
from the son Of father whose mem
ory is perpetuated in Paris by one Of
the most striking and beautiful monu-
ments ever devised by an art-loving ma
tion. France will not admit that the
absence of crowned visitors ct the first
rank and their heirs v-ss due to her
own folly. She who is always preach
ing the solidarity of republicans all
over the world will not admit that
there may be such a solidarity among
monarchs. And, even il she did admit
IL, she would fail to see the reason why
Nicholas H. should not have made an
exception in her favor. She thinks.
though she does not say II, that her
quondam ally owed her this, says the
London Illustrated News.
There was no proof that Oscar Of
Sweden and Norway, Leopold of Bel
gium, and George Of Greece are not
as solieious Of the prestige Of their
fellow sovereigns as the rest, but all
three felt that they owed something
to France and they were determined
to acknowledge the obligation in that
way. Oscar is Of purely French de-
scent; Leopold's father Indirectly
owed his crown to France, who fought
the battles Of Belgium against the
Dutch, without which battles there
would have been no Leopold l. George
lad to thank Napoleon III. for being
: where he is. These three sovereigns
aave shown their gratitude. and
France, who can be very generous, will
not forget this.

A TOUGH OLD SALT.
Admiral KeppeI Haa spent n Life
time In the British Marine
Service,

The Keppel family, of England, Of
which the brave old admiral bearing
the name is a member is notorious for
its toughness. Sir Harry, as the ad-
miral is called, was conspicuous among
the guests at Lady Mary Keppel's wed.
ding couple Of weeks ago. Sir Harry
retired from the royal navy in 1879
afer spending no less than 81 years in
that service. In the China war of Sc
years back, he had command of the
Dido, and won distinction, and he wa.
quite an old fighting hand when he
served in the Baltic and Black seas dur
ing the Crimean war. After the CLOSE
of the Crimean campaign he returned
to China and covered himself with
glory in the desperate work in Fat.
shan creek. Keppel bay, in Borneo
now an old-established settlement. was
called after him, Forty years ago he
asked the electors of his beloved Ports
mouth to let him go to parliament, but
they insisted on keeping him to the
quarter deck. The admiral is a fine
specimen Of the old-fashioned sea dog,
and is as young yet as many who might
be his grandchildren.

coUfD NOT KILL THE BIRD.
After being Fourteen Days in an
IcebOx the AIbatrosa
still Lived.

A writer says Sir William Cory
told him some time ago that on one
of his steamships coming from New
Zealand an albatross, supposed to have
been ehoked dead, kept in an ice box
at temperature which .Yas always
much below freezing point, was found
to be alive at the end of IA days. Capt.
Reed, in command of the vessel in
question, says Nature. supplemented
the story with the statement that
the bird was supposed to be killed by
being strangled with twine tied as
tightly as possible around the neck.
This twine was not removed. The
beak was closed and tied and the legs
crossed behind the tail and tied. tt
was then wrapped in an old meat
cloth and put with three other birds
in the return box at the end of the
port snow trunk. 1t remained there
sor certainly not less than ten days.
On the snow boy complaining that the
bird "grunted" when he went near il
the albatross was taken out, when it
was found that IT could move its neck
about and open its heak and the eyes
were open and Hfelike. The lower
half OF the body and the legs were
frozen hard. The fastening on the
beak had come off 1t was alive for
two hours after being taken out and
was then strangled and put ia the
snow box.

sMALLEsr OF rHEIR KINp.
The Dwaff cattle OF Ceiebes Are No
Larger Thnn Ordinary FuII-
Groxrn sheen.

Celebes had the distinction Of being
the home Of the smallest living repre-
sentative Of the wild cattle, or, indeed,
OF the Wild cattle Of any period Of the
earth's history, for no equally diminu-
tive fossil member of the group ap-
pears TO be known to science. An
idea Of the extremely diminutive pro-
portions of the anoa, or sapi-utan, as
the animal in question is respectively
called by the inhabitants OF Celebes
and the Malays. may be gained when
1t is stated that its height at the
shoulder is only about three feet
three inches, whereas that OF the
great Indian wild OK, or guar, is at
least six feet four inches, and may,
according to some writer's, reach as
much as seven feet. In fact, the anoa
is really not much. il at ALL larger
than well-grown South Down sheep
and scarcely exceeds in this respect
the little domesticated Bramini cat
tie shown a few years ago at the In
dian exhibition held at Earl's Court,
says knowledge.
The anoa has many Of the charac-
ters Of the large Indian buffalo. but
its horns are relatively shorter, less
curved and more upright. In this, as
well as in certain other respects. 1t is
more like the young than the adult OF
the last-named species, and as young
animals frequently show ancestral
features which are gradually lost as
maturity is approached it would be a
natural supposition that the anoa is
a primitive type Of buffalo.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS.
Heavy Mileage Rates Are Sometimes
Paid to Retain an old
"HeIIo" Address.

Telephone numbers have an actual
money value" said an officer of the
American Bell Telephone company
reports the New York Mail and Ex-
press "The assertion has strange
sound, but II you think for a mo-
ment of the advantage business
house derives from having its location
well known, the thing seems only nat
ural.
I'm the course of time peoples
minds begin to associate a firm with
its telephone number, and II, when
they start to call up an old friend,
they find him masquerading under q
new number, 1t is as much OF shock
rs If they had called at a house with
whom they were in the habit of doing
business and found it had moved
away. It all comes under the legal
head of good WILL a very elusive com
modify, but one which has its market
value.
$50 much is this fact appreciated
by some of our old patrons that they
are willing to pay heavy mileage il
they move away from the neighbor-
hood of their exchange in order to
retain their old telephone address.
Many important houses have followed
the northward trend of business in
the last few years, and there are sew
eral cases of a firms office address
being in the uptown district, while
its telephone number remains So and
so, Cortlandt or Broad. The firms
line to the exchange may be several
miles long"

INSANITY IN ARMY CAMPS.
A Medical Authority Says That Not
InfrequentIy Military COmmand-
ers Are Mentally Unbalanced.

Mental disease in military life may
be more common and more productive
Of evil than we think. If an insane
commander is given such a position
that all subordinates cannot possibly
criticise or make their suspicious
known for fear of the swift punish
ment that follows lack of discipline
insidious and awful errors and wrongs
may result and may continue a long
time before superior and far-away
officers suspect the true condition.
1t is said that during a recent war
balloon was sent up which, instead
Of defining the enemy's position, re-
vealed that of the general ordering
the balloon, and of his troops. to 100
gunners who only awaited the indi-
cation to play havoc with their shells,
says the Philadelphia Medical Jour
nal.
The commander, II Is further said.
is now known to have been insane. his
father, mother and sisters having died
insane. Suppose that chronic menin-
gifts should exist in a general intrust-
ed with the conduct Of campaign far
from the seat Of the central govern
nent, and that he should have delu-
sions Of grandeur, with other symp-
toms Of profound but not easily rec
ognized morbid mental action. In
calculable mischief would ensue be-
fore he would be suspected and be-
fore he could be recalled. The appli-
cation of psychiatry to military life
is suggestion of possible tremendous
significance in view Of the wars exist
ing in all parts of the world many
thousands of miles away from the
capitals Of civilization.
