the obligation she attached the most sweeping and subversive of condi- tions, including, first of all, the wip- ing out of all debt to England. Prompt conformity to these has been exacted. The money which had been borrowed from England was all re- paid, in compliance with the Musco- vite demand, within two years after Russia had taken up the sponsorship and the rights that accompanied It.
 In conclusion MT. Mumford says:
 "The Russian knows the people he holds sway over and manages them as no other can, for their blood is in him. He candidates native agencies at every step of the way. x He is mindful of the admoni- ton of Paul l.; he remembers that he is only at war with the English and is the friend of all who do not give them help He assures men of the friendship of Russia He anni- hilates memories; he weans peoples from regrets. He plays upon their vanity until it is transmitted into loy- atty; he gratis upon his already con- glomerate speech something of the language of the conquered, and the next generation speaks with the tongue of Moscow. In brief, he finds a barbarian, and, moving on in the prosecution of his eternal purpose. leaves a Russian. That is what he has been doing in Caucasia and Trans caucasia, as we'll as on the far side of the Caspian, and that, reasonably as- suming that England will not inter- fere strongly to block his progress to the south, is what he will ultimately do in all parts of Persia; what that will mean, in the struggle which is bound to come some day, the map shows. That he aspires to the poss ession of all Asia there seems mo longer any room for doubt. There are great obstacles in his path; he removes them. He has one way in Manchuria, another in Iran. But he ts building warships as fast as he is taking up land in Asia. He anchors them now in Port Arthur; next in Bushire and Bender Abbas. How soon will the searchlights of his cruisers sweep the harbors of Calcutta and Bombay?"

ALL MEN ARE LIARS.
So Declares Mrs. Irving, a Chicago
 Business Woman.
Will Pay One Thousand Dollars to Any Person Upon Proof That He Acted HOnorab1y fn Rusi-
 ness for One Month.

With $1,O00 in lieu of a lantern Mrs Nancy B. Irving, a book publisher, has started out to emulate Diogenes in his search for an honest man. Mrs. Irving is not d pessimist who thinks there are no honest men in the world, according to the. common ac- ceptance of the term, but she believes it is an impossibility to live a strictly honest business or professional life under the present conditions of so- cicty. To prove the point Mrs. Irving offers to deposit $1,0o0 in Chicago bank, which will be paid to the first business or professional man who can conclusively prove that he has carried on his work for a month without ly- ing. She is anxious to prove the point because of book she has in view.
 The. conditions are simple. Mrs. IT, wing will name two men, the man who thinks he holds title to the $1,OoO may name two, and fifth will be named by these four. They will act as judges upon the business record of the claimant, trusting him to tell his own story and give all the evil dence. I
 Mrs. Irving thinks she will not lose the $1,OO0. If she does she is quite certain the honesty of the man who gets it will have reduced him to such poverty that he will need it.
 Mrs. Irving, with Emil Blum and Sigmund Alexander, propose to put forth their ideas anent the general tendency of the modern man and woman to follow in the footsteps of Ananias. Every man, they hold, is obliged to play the part of 8 respect able liar and thief to- succeed in busi- ness. The business man lies to his competitors and patrons and steals from his employees or from society at large.

 covered in Congoland.)
 ant Eriksson at the fort the English commissioner arranged to get the skin and skull from the native hunt CTS, and these natives have just made their promises good.
 Measured by the skins now on the way to the British museum, the hella- dotherium is as large in body as ful1-grown ox.> Proportionately, how ever, it's neck is not larger than that of a horse, this fact being reconciled because of the animals withers rising only few inches higher than the hind quarters. The head is large in proportion to the body, it's outline suggesting the head of the South American tapir. The nostrils are two long slits, completely covered with hair and resembling the nostrils of a giraffe. The lips apparently taper to a point. There are no front teeth in the upper jaw, as the anirral is true rumipant and the front teeth in the lower jaw are sn smGn and feeble as to suggest that the creature, like the giraffe, must possess prehensile' tongue for feeding. If this is not the case, then the long and prehensile lips secure most of the animals food, which consists of leaves.
 The peculiar markings of the crea- ture's skin are it's most attractive points. The cheeks are yellowish white and the muzzle is brown. The forehead is a vivid red, narrowing down into a thin black line continued along the ridge of the nose to the uost trils The long, asslike ears are of a deep reddish brown, with black silky fringes. The neck, shoulders, stomach and back are a deep reddish brown, which in parts has almost a crimson tinge. The hind quarters and hind legs, down to the hooks, and the front legs from below the elbow to the wrist joint are boldly striped in purplish black and white, the white having here and there faint touches of orange. The hind legs from the hook downward are of a creamy col or The front legs are also cream color, but bold black line runs down the front of the leg in an oblique manner. The fetlocks of all four feet are black and cream color. The tall is bright reddish brown, with a black tuft at the end. There are three horn cores similar to those of the giraffe By long disuse these horn cores have degenerated into rounded bumps on the skull, two of them be- ing situated little above the eyes and one at the beginning of the nasal bones.
 As to the habits of the animals, they are found only in the densest forests. travelling and feeding in pairs.

PATRIOT AND SCHOLAR.
Porto RfcO's First Commissioner to the United States Congress a
 Man of Many Parts.

Hon. F. Degetan y Gonzales, the com
 missioner to the congress of the Unit ed States from Porto Rico, is man of much learning and wide acquaint- ance with public affairs. He is a law yer and graduate of the Central uni versity at Madrid. While yet very young man he was elected by the acad- emy of anthropological sciences at Madrid to the presidency of the de- partment of moral and political sci ences. He also studied at the Sala- manca and Granada universities. He is a member of number of scientific societies, and is president of the local

board Of education at San Juan. He fs creI Ia Fss of the int erior for Porto Rico b appoin tment of Gen. Henry. Though born in 1862, and therefore. only 3s years of age, Senor Degetan has long been recognized as a leader among his people. His aspirations
 were republican, and in 1896 he was
 one of the four commissioners sent to Spain to ask for autonomy. In 1898 he was elected deputy to the cortez at Madrid. He is the author of a number of books, consisting of essays, novels
 and short stories. Political, educa- tional and sociological question have so deeply interested him that they form the central problems of even his lighter essays in the field of fiction. "What Quixote" is protest against the indifference of modern society;
 'tThe Redemption of Conscript" deals with the question of philanthropy; two others with the social slavery of children, one circus boy and the oth- CT a little negro attached to Porto Rican sugar plantation. "Tales for the Voyage" (Cuentos Vara el Viage) is a collection of short stories more or less concerned with the problems of
 environment and education; and "Youth''-these latter two forming the latest and most mature of his writings consists of series of pictures in the life of young men whose fundamental aspiration is the abolition of capital punishment This last work is in spirit if not in letter autobiographical, and is reflective, in & vivid way, of the au- thor's experience while studying in Madrid. 'The A, B. C., of. the Froebel System is a study of those methods of instruction linked with the name of the Great German educator. This work has given Senor Degetan a wide reputation in educa tional circles

 The plot they have in mind is this: Eight men who were former college chums are assembled at an anniver- sary dinner when the story begins. A ninth member of the brotherhood suddenly enters the room. He has been abroad for many years and was not expected. His eight friends were in the act of drinking his health, and one of the speakers had toasted him in these words:
 ''The Joseph of sons and brothers, the Castor of friends, the Bayard of purity, and the St. George of the oppressed"
 "Lies, all lies," is his dramatic ex- clamation.
 A discussion is started, and it re- suits in a wager of the eight men with the ninth, whose name is Rust. Rust agrees to forfeit $1,OOO to any one of the other men who can live his professional and social life for one week without lying The eight men represent various professions and oc- equations, and the story follows them through their endeavors to be per fectly honest on all occasions
 There are plenty of opportunities for humorous situations in the course of the narrative. One of the men. a university professor, goes before a woman's club with the determination to see what effect a plain, unvar- nished statement of the truth will have. The result is so disastrous that he does not recover in time to resume the race.
 The editor was in the worst way of all of them. He attempted to print nothing but the truth in his paper. The subscription list began to fall so rapidly and the advertisers were so offended that he relinquihed all claim to the $1,OOo and accepted society as he found it. The others had their va rious experiences, humorous and tragic.
 .''The first impression conservative people get when they hear about this book" said Mrs. Irving, "is that it may be a radical attack on dishonest business men. It is nothing of the sort.

 City of Paris.

According to a cable dispatchs Queen Ranavalona, of Madagascar, who was exiled from her country by the French four years ago, and taken to Algeria, is to be granted her long expressed wish to visit Paris. Ran- avalona has been happier in Algeria than she was in Madagascar, where she was virtual prisoner in her pal- ace. Since her exile she has been living in fine villa provided by the French government, which also has allowed her $5,ooo year and staff of servants.

Hereditary Suicidal Mania

An extraordinary case of heredi- tary suicidal mania is reported from Paris. A skilled artisan in wrought iron has been found by his wife hang ing quite dead from the ceiling in their dining-room. The man left a letter saying that he was forced to commit suicide because he had reached the age of 55 years, at which his forefathers before him had all taken their own lives. The police in- quiry has shown that the latter part of the mans statement is correct. The suicide mania runs in the fam fly and irresistibly gains possession of each member as they attain their thirty-fifth year. The mans father and grandfather, and lately his uncle, all died by their own hand when they reached that age. Since his last birthday deceased had been de- pressed and told his wife and his friends what was preying on his mind was the uncomfortable force, which he was powerless to resist, urging him to commit suicide during the wear.

Already in Seoul, the capital, five per >ent. of the population are Japanese.

The figure is dressed in the. full uniform of the high rank of field marshal The portrait is good and the expression lively. The most striking and sig aificant feature of the memorial is the symbolic figure at the base, show Ing a woman hurrying forward with the flag of France borne aloft in her right hand. Beneath her feet is the prow of ship which France has sent over the sea to the aid of the revolutionists. Below are the arms of France and those of the United States linked together. Count de Rochambeau, the present holder of the title, has expressed his gratitude to the American congress through the French ambassador, M Cambon.

Dr. Minton is professor of theology in the semi nary at San Anselmo, Cal. He is widely known throughout the east as we'll as the west, especially in Pittsburgh. He was born near Pros perity, in Washington county, Pa., in 1855, and his mother still lives in Claysville. Dr. Minton's student days were spent in Washington and Jef- ferson college, from which he was graduated in 1879. The choice of the learned professor for head of the committee on revision is regarded as being singularly appropriate, and is heartily indorsed personally by most of the delegates to the assembly.
