GERMANY BEATS UNCLE SAM.
Buys Caroline Islands, Which Wanted to
 Be Annexed to Us.

Germany purchase of the Caroline islands from Spain had already drawn public attention to this little-known Paelhc group, when suggestion was made to America which is certainly en- tertaining though hardly to be enter tained. The king and head man of kusaie, one of the easternmost of the Carollnes, sent a petition to congress representing that as they had been in intercourse with the American people for forty-seven years-that is, with American missionaries, traders and whalers-and had, both in this manner and otherwise, acquired a knowledge of our institutions. they wished to be annexed to the United States. It is assumed that the people who expressed this amiable preference did not know that they were about to be acquired by Germany. The Caroline group in
 cludes, besides coral islands, five noun tainous islands of basaltic formation, beautiful and fertile with rivers and springs, says Harper's Weekly. To the north are the Ladrone islands, and to lne west are the Philippines. Among the many queer legends of these chil- dren of the Pacific there is none more highly improbable than their theory as to the origin of these islands and their inhabitants. They think they them selves were very strong ill the water in fact, they lived in it. The story goes that a woman and her children were floating around on the reef, when a man appeared from the west with a basket of soil on his shoulders He had started out to make an island With a mountain on it. One of the children cried out to him: Give us a little soil to make place for our mother to rest, for she is very weak and cannot sWim.' He took out handful of the earth and threw it down, making an island. AS the man
 was going on his way over the water the son slyly made a hole in the
 basket so, as he proceeded on his way,
 lie became conscious that the basket seemed light, and, looking around, he saw the land. In his anger he turned about and trod upon it, and thus the island was formed.

At the present rate that Spanish si'- yer is leaving the island it will not be leng before Cuba is drained of it. Mil lions of this money has left Cuba dur ing the last year and more is going ev- cry month It is the opinion of bank CTS that in two years more, if the pres ent outgo continues, there will be no Spanish silver in circulation in Cuba. Tn some of the towns on the island Spanish silver is already scarce.-Ha- yana (Cuba) Post.

THUM B. AILS.
Length or Flatness Helps Palmist to
 Read Character.

Read Character
 According to European palmist the average length of the thumb nail is, in the case of a man, 165 millimetres and those men whose nails are longer than this always possess unusual viril- ity. Women, on the other hand, whose thumb nails are of abnormal length are as a rule very fond of pleasure and have pronounced artistic tastes Emperor William of Germany, says this palmist, has very delicate hand yet the thumb is too short and the nail is fiat and colorless-a sure Indication in his opinion, of some cerebral weak ness. The Emperor of Austria, on the other hand, has a thumb nail which in- dieates high birth and aristocratic tastes. It is pearly white and unusual ly curved and is in marked contrast to his hand, which is coarse and rather vulgar, The new King of Italy has spatulate thumb nail which is said to be an indication of distrust and feroc- ity. The Sultan of Turkeys hand is white and slender and bears tokens of high breeding. King Leopold of Bel gium has the thumb of a plebeian, the nail being short and square. Queen Victoria differs from all other rulers in the fact that the thumbs of her two hands are quite unlike each other. This is said to be an unfailing indica- tion of shrewdness and also of long life The young Queen of Holland has strong but rather commonplace hand, the nails being short and of vulgar type but, on the other hand, the Queen of Italy has an admirable hand the only marked defect being in the nails of the little fingers, which are some what too conical and too much curved at tha ends.

VALUE OF TELEPHONE NUMBER
Many Firms Pay Heavy Mileage Rates
 to Retain Hello"

Telephone numbers have an actlal money value," said an officer of the American Bell Telephone company.
 The assertion has strange so, Id, but if you t1ink for a moment of the advantage business house derives from having it's location we'll known the thing seems only natural. In the course of time peoples minds beoin to associate firm with it's telephone number, and if when they start to call up an old friend they find him mas querading under new number it is as much of a shock as if they had called at house with whom they were in the hab. of doing b mess a1d found it had moved away" quotes the New York Mail and Express. "It all comes under the legal head of good will, very elusive commodity. but one which has it's market value. So much is this fact appreciated by some Of our old patrons that they are will ing to pay heavy mileage, if they move away from the neighborhood of their exchange, in order to retain their old telephone address. Many important houses have followed the northward trend of business in the last few years. and there are several cases of a firms office addres being in the uptown dis trlct, while it's telephone number re- mains so-and-so Cortland or Broad. The firms line to the exchange may be several miles long,

Circula tion of the Blood.

The mileage of the blood circulation reveals some astonishing facts in our personal history. Thus it has been cal culated that, assuming the heart to beat siXty-nine times minute at or dinary heart pressure; the blood goes at the rate of POT yards in the minute
 or seven miles per hour, 16S miles per day. and 61.320 miles per year. If a man of S4 years of age could have one single blood corpuscle floating in his blood all his life, it would have trav- eled in that same time 5,150,SS0 miles.

 About Getting Them.
 Little Donna Is four and q half years old She is the apple of the eye of Dr. Couch of Nyack, N. Y., who Is blessed with a family of bright children-a boy and quartet of younger sisters. The boy is, as a matter of course. very popular with the little ones, and is an especial favorite of self-reliant Donna. hls marked deficiency of brothers in the family displeased her. She had sent frequent letters to the all-power- ful Santa Claus to remedy the defect. and even shouted up the dining room chimney to him to "send us soma brothers,' but tongue and pen proved alike ineffective, and Donna had be- come disgusted. She had seen chick ems emerge from egg shells in New York city department stores. The gro- cer brought dozen eggs and placed them on the kitchen table. Donna spied them, and acted instantly. Tho eggs were soon disappearing and Don ma was "wery busy" Had the grocer cheated in the count?

In addressing the new council, Tuesday
night, Mayor Anstie noted the improved
condition of the city's finances, and
recommended a number of improvements
required by the city, which he believes
can be accomplished without increasing
the warrant indebtedness. AS the i'm
provements suggested will require good
deal of money, it is not made clear in the
address how this money is to be raised,
although all the suggestions are peril
nent, and it will be true economy to be-
gin at once to take the preliminary steps
to secure a fire engine, start public
library, look up public park and the
location of city hall. The sanitation of
the city demands the formation of plan
for sewer system. The remarks of the
mayor about enforcing the laws against
disorderly characters are timely, and the
strict enforcement of those laws is up to
the mayor and council.

Perhaps no weekly paper ever was
started with the number Of subscribers
that w. J. Bryan's new paper, the
"Commoner," will commence with.
good many are surprised that Mr.. Bryan
should originate II weekly paper OF his
own, when he was offered $25, 900 year
to edit New York papers. And yet,
when one studies the personality of the
man, there is nothing surprising about
it. A weekly paper is decidedly the best
medium for conveying the most carefully
prepared thoughts OF the writer, and,
with a paper OF his own, Mr.. Bryan will
not shave any strings on him."

FIVE OVERLOOKED SUBSIDY
POINTS.

The Frye Hanna plea for the ship
subsidy scheme is incomplete. For in
stance, it omits these points:
First-Does the bill compel more
American sailors at better wages?
1t does not. On the contrary, the ship
owner may pocket the subsidy and hire
foreign seamen at the lowest wages.
Second-Does the bill assure larger
American cargoes?
1t does not. On the contrary, it makes
it possible for ship-owners to sail with
empty vessels and still get the subsidy.
Third-Does the bill secure faster
ships?
1t does not. On the contrary, it makes
fast trips OF no consequence.
Fourth-Does the bill arrange for more
mails?
1t does not. On the contrary, it leaves
the foreign mails as now, to be carried by
the fast British and German ships.
Fifth-Does the bill provide for more
ships?
1t does not. On the contrary, it makes
it to the interest of the existing COM
panies to combine, crush competition
and divide the subsidy among as few
ships and ship-owners as possible.
What then does the bill promise?
Large bonuses to be added to the divi-
dends Of steamship companies which are
at present earning good profits without
subsidies.
That is all. But in the name OF Hanna
and Mckinley and the campaign chest,
isn't that enough?-N. Y. World.

THE BALANCE OF TRADE FIG
TON.

There are more clamorous congratulate
tions over the excessive outgo OF COM
moditics for November, when the balance
was $7l 1872, JIG. But why is this excess
of outro a favorable balance? We get
neither gold nor silver for it. 1t does not
pav for previous excessive income; for
the excess has for years been continually
on the outgo side of the ledger. Why,
then. is it favorable? No business man
would congratulate himself upon such
figures in his own business.
Take storekeeper, for illustration.
He has sold more goods in November
than he has bought, to the value of ST.
S32,176. At first blush that would look
prosperous. But where is the gold and
silver in payment for the goods? None
has been received. Where, then, are
the checks? He has had no checks.
Where are the promissory notes, the
bonds and mortgages, the book accounts,
the other evidences of credit? He has
some to be sure, but his liabilities far
exceed all his credits. Then he has been
charging off this balance of commodities
against the capital he borrowed to begin
with? Not at all. If his statistics OF UNI
paid for sales were applicable to that
account, the account would have been
paid off years and years ago.
For generation he has been selling
more than he has bought, and got moth
ing for it. What would be thought of a
man whose business was in that state, if
he Dragged OF his continuous excess Of
outgo? Wouldn't a commission in lunacy
be the proper thing? Yet that is pre-
cisely the condition of Uncle Sam regard
ing his excessive exports. He brags
volubly about them, but nowhere and at
no time does he show how these exports
are paid for. No information that can
be extracted from him gives the slightest
reason to suppose that he ever has been,
is now, or ever will be compensated for
the excess. He would apparently have
equally good reason to boast of his No
vember excess of exports had it been
sunk in mid ocean.
