An AFEhnn Trick.

I During a shooting match in the pres
ence of the governor of kandahar the
sir6ar noticed TO his establishment that
the heads of sparrOws were the IA
Yorite butt of the marksmen. who but
seldom missed their aim, whereupon
be declared that il was far more diff
cult to hit antegg. Sir PeterDlaughed at
the suppositlOn, but the sirdar stood
his ground. and the matter was put to
the test. An egg was suspended on Il
wall, and the soldiers fired at il; but,
strange,to say, not one of them hit the
egg.
The governor and his suit kept their
countenanoes and excused the nOnsuc-
cess of the firing party on the. ground
of the difficulty of the thing. At last
n ball happened TO hit the thread to
which the egg was fastened. and it fell
to the ground without breaking. Now
the mystery was solved. The cunning
Afghan mad used a blown egg, and
the featherweiglIt shell had been NOV
ed aside each time by the current of
air in front of the ball and thus escap-
ed being hit.

In.ect Pe.t. In BruEII,

VI should take a small gang of prac-
teal, coffee planters from Cieylon with
good digestiOns to be not afraid OF
CHI. ESars, ticks and Berne flies. To say
noticing of the dear little mosquito.
The writer had extracted during four
years, in Brazil no less than 200 CHG
CARS from underneath every toe nail %
both feet. The Portuguese. Brazilians,
Italians and Spaniards called ri a rec
reation on Sunday to dig them out of
each others feet.
OF all the vile insects Oh earth. the
BeEne fly is'the worst. She lays her
eggs inside your flesh and matches
three very ugly insects an inch long
with three rings of bristles round the

a Trick on nl.hop Hxhipp1e.

A good story is told on the late Bish-
op Whipple. The scene is laid in st.
Paul, and the story runs as follows,
says the Boston Transcript: One even
ing in the fall and after dark as the
bishop was walking along the street
he noticed little fellow trying to ring
the doorbell of a fine residence. He
was too short to do any more than
reach ii, and, although he stood on his
tiptoes and stretched vigorously, no
sound came from the bell. The kind
hearted prelate felt called upon to as
sist him and so, ascending the steps,
asked, "Shall L help you, my little
man?" The boy intimated that such n
course would be gratifying to him, and
the bishop rang the bell. Thereupon
the little fellow remarked, ''Now we'd
better both rum and decamped as
rapidly as possible. 1t took the bishop
Just a moment to remember that it was
Halloween. and it is said that he made
tracks and got around the corner about
as rapidly as did the little boy.

HANNA MAY LEAVE PUBLIC LIFE.

A letter from Ohio to the Washing
ton Star says of Mr.. Hanna: Ellis
health has not been good for long
time, and the death of the president
is proving blow to him from which
he is not likely to recover soon. He
has grown five years older in appear
ance since the 9th of last month, and
seems to have lost interest in national
affairs. 1t is believed that he will be
prevailed upon to retain his seat in
The senate through this wi2ter, but
will probably resign in time for the
legislature, which meets this winter,
to choose his successor"
Persons who are on intimate terms
with Mr.. Hanna admit that there is
at least kernel of truth in this state
ment. Mr.. Hanna WAS devoted to
McKinley's political as well as per-
sonal interests and entered public life
in order that ne might be near his
friend. The death of Mr.. Mckinley
leaves the senator without political
ambition. He loved the president,
believed in him and never swerved
in his devotion to him. He had
the entree of the White House and
while he will doubtless be welcomed
there by the present occupant 1t
could not be with the old social, per-
sonal and cordial feeling. Wien Mr..
Mckinley left theWhite House for the
last time Senator Hanna's hopes and
ambitions vanished. He may enter it
often, but it will be with heavy and
not with light heart.
Senator Hanna does not like Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He has come to care
more for him than he did and he is
too good hearted q mar to carry a
prejudice. But nevertheless as he is
person CT strong likes and djslikes,
he can never become cordial to the
president. Roosevelt is himself
good lover and good hater, and it is
doubtful that he will ever wear his
heart on his sleeve in Hanna's pres
ence.
Beyond all this Mr.. Hanna is
W sighed down with sorrow. His best
friend is gone and nothing is left to
make public life agreeable to him.

METHODS OF THE STEEL TRUST.

President Schwab of the steel trust
is quoted by Joseph Lawrence, a
mem Der of parliament. as stating that
the trust could deliver steel billets in
England for $50. so per ton. which is
$3.50 under the lowest pricefo which
British manufacturers can produce
them. Meanwhile the price Of steel
billets in this country is scheduled
by the treasury department at $50 to
$27 at Pittsburg for cash. And the
trust is enabled to make tnis enor-
nous discrimination in favor of the
foreign consumer simply by reason of
the 45 per cent protection it receives
through the Dingley tariff.
