DANISH WEST INDIES,

Their position Gives Them Value for Uses
of Navy.
Three small dots on a map of the
West Indies, two of them directly east
of Porto Rico, the third and largest
southeast Of the island, represent the
Danish West Indies. 1t is not an i'm
posing group. Altogether the three is
lands have barely one-tenth the area
of the state of Rhode Island. Their
combined population is but a little
more than thirty thousand, mostly ne
groes. Frequent earthquakes shake
them, and hurricanes sweep over them
Sugar, rum and tobacco are the chief
produsts; but there is so little pros
peritySamong the people that it costs
Denmark to take care of them mere
than she gets back in revenue. Small
and unimportant as these little islands
of ST. Thomas and st. Croix are, the
United States came near buying them
from Denmark more than thirty years
ago, and recently has made new offer
for them. 1t is not the size of the is
lands nor their fertility which gives
value. but their position. st. Thomas
lies less than forty miles from the
eastern coast of Porto Rico. 1t has
an excellent harbor, which would be
useful as coaling and naval station.
When the canal is cut across the 18TH
mus, the possession of these islands by
the United States will be more impor-
tant than at present. The inconven-
ience of having them in the hands of
some rival and possibly hostile power
would be very great. These, presum-
ably, are the considerations which have
led to a renewal Of the negotiations
for the purchase of the group. Both
houses of congress must act before the
arrangement can be completed, so that
the policy will be adopted, If at all,
only after a full discussion of its ad-
vantages and disadvantages.-Yo

FIRST MINERS UNION.

The recent growth OF unionism
the coal miners of this country, re-
sulting in higher wages, shorter hours
and better conditions in every respect,
recalls the early efforts of coal miners
to organize. The first miners union in
America was formed at st. Clair. Pa,
in 1867. John Siney. an intelligent
miner, got the workers together and
urged upon them the benefits of or
ganization. The meetings were secret,
as the operators were opposed to un-
ions of any description. A union was
formed. however, but it met with all
kinds of opposition from the bosses
and it was continual struggle culmin
ating in the great strike in the latter
SOS. Thousands of miners were out
of work, and there was great distress
throughout the country. coal selling in

yet no places in New York are more

His Private Life.
Morgan's life, outside his business,
has luxuries that king might enjoy.
He drinks the rarest of wines and his
special brand of cigars cost him $1.25
each. He has spent 100000 on dogs.
His favorite amusement is yachting.
He gave the New York Yacht club a
club house worth 100000, and it was
his racing yacht, the Columbia, which
kept the American cup on this side OF
the water. Another yacht, the Corsair,
cost him 100000. He paid $3.50 for
pair of carriage horses recently. A
Mazarin Bible in two volumes cost
him $25,000 Among his philanthropic
acts was the gift Of $1,O00,OOO for the
building of the New York Lying-in-

1t did not require his recent deal
with Carnegie to make ]. Pierpont
Morgan money monarch. He was
king Of financiers before he made
his latest colossal investment in steel

strengthens his position in the world

the iron and steel trade, the guiding

commanding factor in electrical enter
prises of various kinds, he controls
money enough SO that by single act
he could precipitate a financial crisis

Hon. David Meekison is well known,
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-ffth Congress
by very large majority. and is the
acknowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp. was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DR..
Hartman as the result:

ru-na and feel greatly benefited there
by from my catarrh of the head. l feel

OF Wealthy Farentage.

]. Pierpont Morgan was born rich.
The proverDial silver spoon was wait
ing for him when he made his ap-
pearance in the home of Junius Nor
gan, a banker at Hartford, Conn. That
event occurred sixty-four years ago.
Reared amid luxurious surroundings
and educated at the University Of
Goettingen, Germany, young Morgan
inherited s1O,00000e upon the death of
his father, who had while his son was
growing to manhood become a partner
of the famous George Peabody of Lon
don, and of the Drexels in New York
A natural financier, young Morgan cul-
tivated his inheritance so that it grew
rapidly. AS the senior partner of the
banking houses Of ]. p. Morgan and
Co., New York: Morgan, Drexel & Co.,
Of Philadelphia, j. S. Morgan & Co. OF
London, and Morgan. Harjes G. Co.,
of Paris, he was power in the finan-
cial world years ago. The first great
deal in which he displayed his genius
for managing gigantinc operations that
has since astounded the world was in
1876. when he organized the syndicate
which took the issue of 5000, 100000 OF
A1a per cent government bonds when
the national debt was refunded.

Then he turned to railway manage

would haveprevented the insolvency OF

latlon of one of the agreements made
with him by outside parties. All these
transactions brought many millions to
his bank account. He is one of the

statement that, with the exception Of
the Erie and the Pennsylvania, he con-
trols all the avenues Of commerce that
enter New York city, including the
ferries. He has under his direction

The penmanship of Authors.

Is there really any connection be-
tween the cast of n writer's mind and
his handwriting? asks The Pail Mall
Gazette. Thaekeray was one of the
neatest of writer's and boasted that IL
other trades failed he could get his llv-
ing by writing the Lords Prayer on a
shilling. Keats wrote like a clerk, and
Gray, Tom Moore, Leigh Hunt and Sir
Walter Scott all used running hands,
which were legible without any mark
cd characteristics. The same may be
raid of the writings of Anthony Troll
lope and Professor Tyndall. none, per-
haps, of these writer's being much
given to subtlety Of expression.
Carlyle. on the other hand, is said to
have produced the most untidy and
awful scribble that ever puzzled COM
positor, and Victor Hugo, Browning
and Tennyson were nearly as bad.
Yet. although this looks as If there
might be some sort of a rule in such
matters, we find Napoleon, who GER
tainly never failed In directness Of ex-
preston, writing hand that he could
not read himself. and Macready, the
actor, whose order for the theater was
once taken for prescription for a
cough mixture.
One thing seems pretty certain-that
the mere size of the letters has little
to do with character.

Won by His wit.

A story is told of an English clergy
man who owed his appointment TO q
rich living to n lucky pun. He was
tutor to the son of n nObleman and
had not long taken orders when he
attended the funeral of the rector of
the parish in which the nobleman's
seat was situated.
The father of his pupil was patron of
the living and was also present at the
funeral of the deceased rector. There
was a young clergyman present also
whose grief was so demonstrative that
the noble patron was much affected by
the sight and asked If the young man
was son of the deceased gentleman.
"Oh. dear, no, my lord-no relation at
all" said the tutor.
mo relationw exclaimed the noble
man in surprised tone.
"None. my lord; he is the curate, and
think he is not weeping for the dead.
but for the living"
His lordship, who was something of
a wit and n cynic himself, was SO de-
lighted with the bonmot that he con-
ferred the living upon the ready pun

If there is any truth in the saying
that happiness is the absence Of all
pain, mental and physical, the enjoy
ment of it can only be found In heaven.
But go far as the physical is concerned.
1t is within easy Teach; at least meas
urably SO, as far as cure will go. The
sum of human misery in this line is
made up of greater or lees degrees of
physical suffering. The minor aches
and pains which affiict mankind are
easy to reach and as easily cured
There are none in the whole category
which. If taken in time. cannot be
cured. They must in some form afflict
the nerves. the bones. the muscles
and joints of the human body. They
are all more or less hurtful and waste
ful to the system. st. Jacobs Oil is

den pain spots, and to cure promptly

five days. Strain them gently out and
sweeten the water rs you please with
fine sugar or else with perfume"
Queen Elizabeth was exceedingly
fond of perfumes, and, according to
this old book. her favorite scent was
made in this manner: Take eight
spoonfuls of compound water. the
weight OF twopence in fine powdered
sugar and boil 1t on hot embers or Goals
softly. Add half an ounce of sweet
marjoram. dry it in the sun. the weight
of twopence of powdered benjamin
