Wagner when a young man wrote a

said. Have you any copies of that mis-
cradle thing still unsold?" Yes" was

A thousand copies were soon after
ward delivered at his door. The bill
was 4 big one. but it was paid. some
what grudgingly, and Wagner thought
he had done with the thing. What
was his surprise. then. at receiving two
or three months later on another con-
signment. this time of 500 copies.

of these things" he protested THAT
was all had in stock" explained the
dealer. "but these have been returned
by my agents. TO whom 1 wrote that
you wished to have the sonata sup
pressed" Wagner WINGED, but there
was nothing for it but to pay the bill
And thereafter whenever business was
dull with this crafty publisher n few
hundred copies of the sonata would be
struck of on shopwOrn paper and de-
livered Mt the composers door. with n
memorandum to the effect that they
had just come back from remote places

w. Hollis, of the international court Of
arbitration, has left for Warsaw after
having been received in special audi
ence by Emperor Nicholas at the Pet.
orhof palace. The conference was eX-
tended and most cordial. 1t is under
stood that the emperor thanked Hollis
for his history of the peace confer
ence. dedicated to his majesty, and eX-
pressed the deepest qualification for
the cordial support from the American
people and the United States govern
ment. declaring that he wished to
thank the various United States organ

1t is also understood that the en-
peror spoke warmly of the excellent

Russia, and expressed a. hope that both
powers, with their great resources,
would continue to stand for peace and
the strengthening of The Hague tri-
bunal and the bloodless adjustment of
international difficulties.
His majesty expressed conviction
that the peace conference marked an
important step in advance. but that

BY reversal of the usual order of
things, it was planned to capture
O'DOnohue, tie him to "A stake, and set
a fire around him. Then at given
signal the Indians" were to rush in,
stampede the cowboys" and rescue
O'DOuohue.
According to programme. the cow

a short struggle captured O'Donohue
and bore him away. Then the boy
was tied to n stake and bits of wood
which had been placed around him at
u supposedly safe distance were set on
fire. Then the cowboys retired. In
the meantime the Indians" had with
drawn to such a distance that they
did not notice the grass had taken

KING SOLOMON MINES.

Negaunee. Mich. May 31-Several

a Cheese Roast.

Those who insist upon eating cheese
should take the precaution to cook it
thoroughly before eating. 1t is for this
reason that some people who are I'M
able to eat raw cheese find themselves
able TO eat toasted cheese without diff
ficulty. Toasting the cheese does not,
however, increase its digestibility. but
rather the reverse. Its beneficial effect,
if any, is from the destruction of the
virulent microbes which are present
and which are capable of giving rise
to symptoms even more distressing
than those of ordinary indigestion. The
best method of dealing with cheese is
to give it to the pigs. as it is nothing
more or less than decayed milk, fit only
for a scavenger diet. = Sanitary and

TIMES THINKS 1T IS HOPELESS.
That Proposed welt Boycott" of Europ,
Against the United States.


LoiiIG:i. May 31.-Commenting edi-
t0rlally on the agitation in Germany
and Austria for ii combination against
American commercial competition, The
Times says: The sole hope for pan
Europe. according to these writers, is
to initiate Napoleon ana introduce the
continental system against the United
States. 1t must be owned that the
precedent is rather disheartening. II
the continental system failed in Ma
poleon's iron grasp it would hardly
succeed in the hands OF our old friend,
the concert of Europe.
But it is quite certain that the con-
cert of Europe could not he got 10
adopt it; and if, by any conceivable
infatuatiOn, any or all the continental
powers were to combine for such an
end, the British empire would leave
them to their fate and would continue
to trade with its Americas kinSfolll.
Our interests. traditions and inclina-
tons all dictate that course to us.
with the markets of Great Britain
and her colonies remaining open, the
suggested welt-boycott against Amer
lea does not wear hopeful aspect
The scheme is prepOsterous and i'm
practicable on the face of it; but the
editorial articles which propose it de-
serve attention as Il revelation of the
acute. continued jealousy aud fear of
American greatness and prosperity
which prevail in certain quarters on
the continent"

Judge Clifford T. Curry has announced

When Judge Winfrey went TO the
bench four years ago he often had to

did not like TO send them to Jail. where
they would become the associates of
hardened criminals. During his term
as judge he ordered about 300 boys

the dose should he double. Your
course is one that would have been
