COLLECTS DEBTS FOR ALL.
The Belgian Post once Has Ina.E. urated a New System of
 CLearfnga.

An interesting clearing system is about to be installed in the Belgian postal department for the benefit of merchants. It is designed to settle diff ferences between debtors and creditors which are now adjusted by the ex- change of numerous remittances. The system aims to esta blish sort of clear ing house under state control. For sev- eral years the Belgian post office has been used as a collecting agency with considerable success, but the new plan is expected to be much more conven- tent. For example, a merchant has 2GO small accounts due to him in va rious parts of the country, amounting to some 5000. Instead of sending him. as at present, a separate advice as each amount is paid, or, as we would say, as soon as each draft is honored, the post office will simply carry the total amount of s5,0OO to his credit in the National Bank of Belgium. He will not be required to give separate re- ceipts to his debtors, as the original schedule filledi in Oy him at the post of- flee serves as formula for completing all record of the transactions to which the separate items refer.

BOY TRAVELS IN ITALY.
Impressions of a. American La1 with the Training Ship Dixie in
 the Eternal City.

Some idea of the impressions made by travel in Italy on the mind of boy aboard an American training ship is shown in a letter written by Jesse Gun ningham, 19 years old, to his father, D. G. Cunningham. The boy lives in Chi cago and has been aboard the training ship Dixie for over three months. He spent three days in Rome in December and his description of the trip follows:
 ''I think that I saw all that is in the Bible. I saw part of the manager that Christ was born in and cross that He was nailed to and the table He ate His last supper at. was in St. Peter's church and the Church of the Three Fountains; that is where St. Paul was beheaded and where his head fell. It bounded three times and at each place a fountain sprung up. The water in each fountain is different from the oth- CTS. 1 drank from each one. l visited the prison that St. Paul and St. Peter were in and saw the chains that were on their feet. I Saw one person that many people try to see, but cannot, and that was the pope. He is S2 years old and they have to carry him arosnd."

The first six cities in this list stand in the same order as they did after the eleventh census. It may be that there is some disappointment in Bos ton because that city did not over take St. Louis, which was only S,2os ahead in 1890. But the Bostonians generally seem to be satisfied with the natural, healthy growth of their city, which has not been expanded by annexations. Considerable thickly-set- tied territory could have been taken in, but the conclusion has been reached that annexation does not IA. Ger tainly Boston has done bet than that other commercial city, BsSmore, for whose slow rate of growth, much slower than for the preceding dec. sde, no cause has yet been assigned. Next to Cincinnati, the smallest per centage of gain is that of San Fran cisco, but as the decrease in growth is ascribed to the departure of a large number of Chinamen, the Pacific me tropolis is inclined to take the matter cheerfully.
 Throughout the table the rule holds good that the largest gains have been made by the cities with the largest manufacturing interests. Next to Chi cago the greatest relative gathers have been Cleveland, Buffalo. Pitts burgh and New York. These cities are all thriving under the present na- tional movement which is making the United States the greatest msnufsc- turing country in the world, but not one can show the rate of growth achieved by Chicago. The conclusion is obvious. Chicago is destined to be the greetest manufacturing center in the United States.

RUN FOR THE "GRAND PRIZE"
Imitation of a Horse Rass-Bpirtt ef Fun Shown at United statss
 Naval Academy.

There wasn't much hazing at the naval academy when was there" said Capt. Carpenter, of the marine corps although once in awhile some funny thing was done. I remember one night when all the men in our dormitory were called out into an upper corridor to see what the announcer said was to be the grand prize
 -Four big plebes were led out, on their hands and knees and stark naked except for towels laid across their backs for saddles. They were the thor oughbred horses" quotes the New York World. Then came four small plebes, dressed in undershirts, drawers and caps, and wearing bright ribbon sashes. These were the jockeys. Each had a hairbrush for whip. Then came four upper classmen as owners and four more as trainers. The little plebes were mounted on the big plebes and all the preliminaries of a running horse race were gone through. The owners in structed the jockeys to use the whips iberally and go out to win, and the trainers forced the horses to act up at the post. Finally the race was started and the four big plebes scrambled down the corridor, the little plebe jockeys en- tering into the spirit of the thing and whaling away for dear life with the hairbrushes. A big chap from Arkan- sas won, and he was afterward known as The Thoroughbred

WOMAN BUFFALO HERDER.
She Raises BuasIoes for Divesston and HaA . Hundred on Her
 Texas Ranch.

Mrs. Mary A. Goodnight, of Good night, Tex, enjoys the distinction of being the only woman in the world who owns herd of buffaloes. There are 100 in the herd, more than half of which are pure bred, the remainder being "cataloes." as a cross between buffalo and Galloway COW is called, writes E. J. Davison, in the Ladies' Home Journal. The cataloes have the same hump as the buffaloes, and shaggy hair, but their color varies from jet black to light brown, and they are most readily distinguished from the pure bred by their horns, which are longer. The cataloes are also much more tractable, and can soon be taught to eat out of ones hand. But the full-blood buffaloes- of the Goodnight herd at least-never repose full confidence in man. Big and powerful as they are they are timid and run away at the slightest alarm, although they have taken food from their owners hand from the opposite side of fence; nor will they attack unless wounded or driven into close quarters. Even with this repu- tation for timidity Mrs. Goodnight does not regard the pure bred buffa- loes as trustworthy, and does not consider it safe to go among them on foot. Mrs. Goodnight also has herd of Is elks. In the great park, two square miles in area, each animal herds with his kind. Even the purs- blood buffalo looks with royal con- tempt upon his plebeian half-brother, the catalo. and the two keep wide apart in separate and distinct groups.

LAST OF THE EXPOSITION.
UessAg Eight of the Great Insssna- sSos~l FAAr at PAris-sess>a
 AAA Insidsoss.

f wes o'clock. From the top of the Eiffsl tower the cannon thundered, an- nounoing the final stoppage of the number of admission tickets, says the Paris Courier des Etats UniS The Chateau d'Eau blazed with vo1leys of light in constantly changing colors, and in the distance the Trocadero and all the buildings became illuminated, while the gardens displayed their gar lands of translucent fruits. Then for the last time the crowd moved toward the luminous waters. It was cold and threatening snow; but that did not prevent the people from admiring their fevorite spectacle. Suddenly the lights went out. and it was then only that the crowd realized that the end was reached. When all was comparatively dark in the Chateau d'Eau the people commenced to move out en masse through all the doors. The movement continued until II o'clock. Then an- other gun was fired. An immense clamor arose from the crowd, pierced by the shouts of "Vive Ia France" while the wind bore along from the distance the strains of the "Marseil- laise" or the Chant du Depart" Once more the gun was fired. It was the farewell salute, followed by the roll of drums that had somewhat of a sad echo in many hearts. It had e crashing sound under the vaults and continued gradually increasing until all the drummers appeared. Another guard came along, beating the retreat, followed by crowds more or less sad dened by the thought that the grand affair was over. The exhibition was already thing of the past. The cas- cades were extinguished, and one after snother the domes of the different buildings disappeared in darkness. No lights remained, except here and there a few globes that gave out a soft or aRge colored light. They reminded one of watch lights at the bedside of a dead woman. The great Paris fair, which closes for many years the era of sxpositions, passed into history.
