"A NotfO~ koCop0.
The world has Larowly missed losing
some of its goat leaders before they
grew to manhood. The Outlook tells q
story of one of these narrow escapes.
One November evening mother was
journeying toward the city Of Mar
seilles with her son. a lad Of eight. She
had been to a cOuntry-house near the
city. and all day the child had run
about, happy in his new surroundings.
Now fatigue overlook him, and the
mother put him in q peach-basket
borne by a donkey, and that he might
net catch cold in the chill November
air covered the basket with a thick
brown shawl
The boy. cozy and warm, presently
fell asleep. The donkey trudged on,
getting ahead OF the woman in its
eagerness to reach home.
There was a local eustom-house at
the gate of Marseilles. and the wary in
spector, If he surmised that a package
contained contraband articles, resorted
to the expedient Of thrusting q sharp
steel pick through it.
On the present occasion the donkey
had come up to the gate, and the In
spector was preparing to thrust his
pickfntO the basket. when the mother,
some distance behind, caught sight OF
the movement. The voice OF fear is
strong, and the sharp cry Of the wom-
an that her son was in the basket did
not fail to reach his ears. He threw
down his pick, and the child was saved.
The boy was Adolph Theirs.

Whv IL Was Brave.

We read in the Book of Proverbs: "A

is also true that a witty reply often
takes the edge from an unwelcome crit

A friendly magazine editor was talk

gain fresh force from the recent ex-
perience Of a stranger. Being on Com

u Gradually Stocked with American
Foods, Which Lead in Popularity.
Consul General James T. Dubres,
writing from st. Gall, Switzerland,
dwells upon the marked advance Amer
lean goods are making in Swiss mar
kets. Four years ago the reader sell
dom found the subject of American ex-
ports treated in the columns of the
Swiss press, but he now finds guam
tity Of very interesting reading upon
the subject. One can now buy Ameri-
can watches in Berne, although Chaux-
defends, the great Swiss watch cen
ter, is not far from that city. One can
buy American ham and bacon in Basle
and elsewhere. and the Swiss cavalry
horse will be found sleeping on Ameri-
can straw. But few well-regulated
hardware stores exist in Switzerland
which are unable to fill their show win
dOws with the attractive-lOoking and
sOlidly made American hoes, spades,
axes, saws, hammers. locks and the
like. In the larger cities there are al
ways shoe stores containing American
shoes, which have a popular demand.
American Office desks have good sale,
and are the envy of all who are COM
PEELED to use the old flat-tOp article.
Everywhere are striking evidences OF
the increased export Of American
wares. and the prominence thus being
gradually won has led to much news
paper discussion-a free advertisement
Of the increasing popularity Of United
States goods.
The American watch case is having
a field day in the Land of Watches
So large is the importation Of these
cases into Switzerland that a general
movement among the Swiss watchmak-
ers is now taking place to prevent, or
at least modify. the Importation If pos
sible. A committee Of watchmakers
has been formed to improve the present
system Of matchmaking so as to keep
the good name of the Swiss watch in
tact in the foreign as we'll as the home
markets, where American competition
is being seriously felt. Prizes Of con-
those who succeed in making any i'm
prOvements which may be of advant-
age to the export trade. AS watch
making is the industry in which the
Swiss have made a great reputation in
all countries, it is natural that they
should be startled by successful Gem
petition from America.

ImneriaI Preropatixe..

By signing his name to the Porto
Rican bill, President Mckinley confers
upon himself imperial attributes in that
island. By the terms Of the act passed
by his political associates in the Senate
and House, the authority which he may
exercise over the Porto Ricans is little
less absolute than that exercised by the
Negus of Abyssinia or the Car Of Rus
sia. He is authorized to govern the
Porto Ricans without their consent,
and to tax them without their having
any voice in the matter. The governor
and the governing council, every one Of
whom he is empowered to appoint or
remove at will, makes them merely the
instruments Of the executives i'm

Photograph In the Council Chamber
The French town of Etampes has in
trOduced an interesting novelty by re-
placing the recording secretary of the
Municipal Council with a photograph.
Some of the members Of the Council
objected to the innovation, on account
of the too great faithfulness Of the ap-
paratus in reproducing defective pro-
nunciatiOn and errors Of speech. One
good result may be to stimulate the
members to polish up their pronuncia-
tiOn, and attend to their grammar more
than heretofore.
