Burr's Self Control.

Aaron Burr was by nature and train
ing man of extraordinary self con-
troll He allowed no circumstances to
throw him off his balance An anec-
dote told by Rufus Choate to the late
Richard 81. Dana, recorded in Mr..
Dana's DIARY" illustrates the cal
lousness which aided Burr so greatly
in controlling himself Several years
after the death of Hamilton, killed by
Burr in duel, Burr visited Boston,
and Mr.. Devereux of Salem paid him
some attentions. The visitor was
taken to the Boston atheneum, where,
while the two men were walking
through the gallery of sculpture, Mr.
Devereux happened to catch sight of a
bust of Hamilton.
The thought flashed across his mind
that Burr might not care to be con-
fronted with the sight of the features
of the man he had slain. But no.
Burr was undisturbed He also espied
the bust, and, although Mr.. Devereux
had instinctively turned away, he
walked up to it and said in loud
tone: 'Ahl Here is Hamilton p
Then, passing his fingers along GER
tain lines of the face, he added.
"There was the poetryl'' Hamilton ; s
contemporaries gave his credit for
possessing a poetic mind.

Washington correspondence st. Paul
Pioneer Press:
Records just completed at the treas
ury department in regard to the ship
ping of the United States engaged in
international commerce are calculated
to impress those who study them with
the fact that there is not much in
them to exalt the pride of our people
Said an official of the department
son the view of what we hear about
the recent increase in American ship
ping it might be supposed that the
flag of the nation is to be seen more
frequently in foreign waters. But the
results in this direction, according to
the reports for the year past, breaking
the record for American shipping in
one respect at least. The American
flag was never such rarity on the
Northern Atlantic between the United
States and Europe as il is today
During the past year not single
American ship went to or from Ger
many, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Den
mark, the Netherlands Italy, Austria,
Greece or Turkey.
Two small American ships came
from France in ballast. One came
from Belgium in ballast, and one of
our ships cleared for Spain. There
cleared for or entered from the United
Kingdom only eleven American sailing
ships and two small steam vessels.
Even during the year of President
Jefferson's embargo, and during two
years of the cruises of the Alabama
during the Civil war the flag of the
United States was seen in foreign
waters many times more frequently
than is shown by this record. The
fast mail ships of the American line,
only three in number since the wreck
of the City of Paris, were practically
all we had on the North Atlantic. -
The official pointed out that in the
speculation about increased American
shipping it must be that we confne
our efforts exclusively to the inland
waters and the coasrwise trade. He
also spoke of the fact that even the
newly purchased tonnage acquired by
the Morgan syndicate will sail under
foreign colors, and there is no way of
knowing how much stock in those
lines will be owned by foreign in
vestors.

The Joke Was on M. Las;es.

Parisans are laughing over an anus
ing incident which happened the other
day to NJ Lasies, the famous reaction
airy deputy, and which will perhaps
teach the extravaganza lawmaker the
Importance of measuring his words.
1t seems that couple of weeks ago
some one spoke to him of a photo
graph representing M. Waldeck-Rous-
seau, the prime minister, in deep con-
ference with the noted Jesuit priest,
Pere du Lac, and, consumed with a
desire to see it, M. LASER exclaimed,
81 would give 1000 francs to get my
hands on it - This was repeated, and
finally reaching the prime minister S
ears the latter resolved to take him at
his word.
After ransacking through his wife s
kodak collection Waldeck- Rousseau dis
covered we'll finished snap shot of
himself and the priest at Pontchartrain
and, placing it in an envelop, re-
quested friend to deliver it to the de-
putty.
"Kindly address the 1000 francs he
will give you" instructed the premier,
''to the Assistance Publique.
Monsieur received the official and
evinced great pleasure on obtaining
the coveted picture. But the scene was
changed when the bearer, bowling pro-
foundly, added:
"From NJ Waldeck- Rousseau. The
president of the council has requested
me to collect from you for the benefit
Of the poor the 1, 900 francs which you
promised.

founded rejoiner "But that is simply
form of speech. -

SNAKE, EGGS AND A JUG.
A Moccasin's Appetite and Lack of Sense
Led 10 His Death.

A party of Jacksonville were at work
on the Mantanzas river raising a
sunken dredgeboat. They lived on
board of the big lighter on which they
worked in small house on the deck.
One noon their bill of fare was some
what strengthened by some wild tur-
key eggs which had been found by
some of the party while hunting on
shore. After the hungry engineers
had destroyed a heavy dinner they left
their dining room and returned to
work. The doors and windows were
all open, and the cook did not clear
off the table for some time.
In this interval large water moe
casin of near six feet crawled on
board the lighter and wriggled into the
dining room through the open door
In his prospecting tour he climbed the
table leg, and here, with snake s
fondness for eggs, he went in for a
feast. One of the turkey eggs lay
alone by a plate, and the rest were in a
dish on the other side of the table. In
the center stood a large water jug, and
right here the willy serpent slipped up.
After swallowing the lonesome egg,
he started for the main supper and in
his artless manner crawled through
the handle of the jug. 1t was rather
tight fit, and he had to stop about half
way through on account of the egg,
which enlarged him somewhat. So,
stretching forward, he bolted another
egg and thereby fastened himself
On each side of the jug handle was
an egg on his inside, and he could
move neither backward nor forward,
practically riveted in position. He
was soon found in this peculiar situa-
tion by the cook, who speedily killed
him.
The reporter was shown the skin of
the snake with a crease still in the
middle from the tremendous pressu re,
and he was also permitted to gaze on
the jug whose handle proved so fatal.

KING EDWARDS BIRTHDAY.
Not Certain That It VIII Be Made a
National Holiday.

London, May 1S.-The misconcep-
ton as to the observance on May "a
instead of Nov. 9 as King Edwards
birthday is thus officially explained:
ut has been customary to give en-
ployes in the government offices
holiday on May "a. The king, on be-
ing asked if any holiday would be
given this year, decided on May "a
as a suitable day. This has nothing
to do with his own birthday. 1t has
been decided also to present colors
that day to the Third battalion of the
Scots guards and to make the func-
ton much like the trooping of the
colors by which the anniversary of
May "a was observed. The question
of observing the kings birthday is
wholly unsettled, though coronation
day, which will probably be in the
summer, may be celebrated instead
of the chill of Nov. 8.

CITY WITHOUT HORSES.
Children of Venice Go to School in Con.
dOIas.

What American boy or girl ever saw
a city that did not have more horses
in it than one would like to count?
Horses of all kinds and sizes, from the
pretty little Shetland pony, the pride
of his young heart, up to the strong,
heavy horses that pull the great rumb-
ling loaded down wagons through the
streets of the busy city. Why, there
are SO many horses no one thinks
anything about them. You can not
walk down the street or even look out
of your window without seeing some
of them. But there is a city in far
away Italy, across the wide Atlantic,
this horse is considered such Curl
osity that it is kept in the public gar
dens. People there visit the gardens
just to see this horse just as you, per-
haps, visit the zoo in Lincoln Park to
see the lions and bears. But how do
the people in this city get along with
out any horses2 Well, the city is
Venice, and, as you no doubt KIN ow,
this city is very wonderful one in
some respects, for it is built upon
many small islands, and its streets are
the canals between the islands. Water
here takes the place of streets of earth
and stone. and boats take the place of
horses. How funny it would seem to
go to school in a gondola, as they call
their boast there Venice seems like
fairyland at night, when the principal
streets or canals are lighted up and
the dancing waters reflect the many
colored lights of the pretty gondolas
that dart over the waters. Some of
the buildings are tall and beautiful,
and as you look at them from a dis
lance they seem to rise right out of the
water. If you ever go to Venice be
sure to call and see its one and only
horse, for that is a noted parsonage
there, and one not to be sighted. And
you may be allowed to ride around
on its back as children in New York
and Chicago ride on the backs of the
elephants and camels in the parks. =

From the Maine Farmer, augusta.

There are many women all over the
land who are earning living by the use
Of the needle. Confinement in close
rooms and the trying nature Of their
work often causes them to grow pale
and wan and to experience feeling Of
Constant WEAKNESS. This goes on, some
times, until nature rebels and health
breaks down. There is one way and
only one way to restore the impaired
vitality, and that is to strengthen the
worn out nerves and build up and nourish
the impoverished blood. If the blood is
kept healthy and rich and the nerves
strong, new life and energy will soon be
felt. This was the experience Of Mrs.
Addie r. Holt, a dressmaker, of No. rs
Bridge street, Augusta, Me. She says:
about five years ago I began to ex-
perience WORKOUT feeling. Sometimes
I would lie in bed for day or so, but
my dressmaking work obliged me to
keep up, even when I did not feel able to
be about. I suffered from female troubles
and last spring had rheumatism in my
left arm and also pain in my left side
in the region Of my heart.
"In August friend recommended
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and I began taking them Immediately.
1 commenced to improve in about two
weeks and in three months my weight
increased from 121 to 1873 pounds.
Since taking the pills have had no re-
turn of the pain in my arm nor near my
