Record for Longest Reign.

Now that Queen Victoria is dead.
Francis Joseph of Austria holds the
record of the longest reign in Europe,
or, indeed, in the world. He has been
on the throne more than fifty-two
years and is in the seventy-first year
of his life. But Francis Joseph is by
no means the Oldest ruler. The pos
SCISSOR of this distinction is neither the
emperor of Austria nor, as is generally
supposed, King Christian of Denmark,
who Is 80, and has reigned thirty
seven years. The oldest living ruler
is a lesser known personality, the
Grand Duke Adolphus of Luxembourg,
who came into the world in 1917.

An Experience That May BE Had In the

From the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad it is not hard to reach one OF
the greauests of natural curiosities--
the petrincd forest of Arizona. Much

Thu Scanter of Power.

Over and above the excess of exports
which our own country shows in COM
parison with Great Britain and Ger
many, it has this great advantage
namely, large balance of trade in its
favor, as against a small balance for
Germany and balance the other way
for the British islands. The great
American trade balance stimulates
home industry, protects its money sup
plies and is steadily making the world
its debtor. The scepter of commercial
and financial power, so long in the
hands of England, is being transferred
to this nation. which. from all present
indications, will hold it for genera
lions to come.-Topeka Capital.

In the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand,
is situated White Island. which con-
sists mostly of sulphur mixed with
gypsum and a few other minerals.
Over this island, which is about three
miles in circumference, and which
rises between 800 and 900 feet above
the sea, floats continually an immense
cloud of vapor, attaining an elevation
of 10000 feet. In the center is boil
ing lake of calculated water, covering
fifty acres, and surrounded with blow
holes from which steam and sulphur
Gus fumes are emitted with great force
and noise. With care boat can be
navigated on the lake. The sulphur
from White Island is very pure, but
little effort has yet been made to pro-
cure it for commercial purposes.

THERE'S BUT ONE WAY.
Only by Reducing Wages Can Free Trade
Enslan = Meet American Competitiop.

Only by Reducing Wages Can Free Trade
Englan Meet American Composition.
The pressure of the industrial COM
petition which Great Britain feels is in
dicated by the reduction of the wages
of 225,000 workmen few days ago.
The average reduction was only about
so cents week, but to men who have
been earning not more than S. to 81 a
week that is a serious item. 1t is,
however, the British method of meet
ing the competition of the best paid
labor in the world, whose pay is twice
the figures here quoted.
The question naturally arises. how
can the manufacturers in the United
States compete with those OF Great
Britain when paying double the
wages? Several elements must enter
into the answer. First. the British
workman, having been for years the
best in the world. has assumed that
under no conditions can there be bet
ter. He has obstinately chung to meth
DDS that are worn out. He will not
yield to new inventions and processes.
The result is that from being the best
workman a third of a century ago he
is now inferior to his American and
German competitor. Again. good
wages, with the prospect of better
things. has appealed to the ambition
OF the workman, consequently he is
more intelligent and more energetic.

CHAPTER w.

But did they "see it," after all?
Grave enough was Mrs. Cowley's face
as she sat down to that first meal in
her new house. The tea was hot and
strong-the toast nicely 'buttered-the
cold ham cut with Vauxhall nicely, yet
she could not eat. If a door creaked,
she started nervously in her chair-if
a mouse gnawed at wainscot, she
looked as if she was about to faint
Yet the habit of obedience to her hus-
bands wishes was SO strongly i'm
planted within her breast that she
never dreamed of saying how uncom-
Portable she felt. Mr.. Cowley had made
up his mind to live in a haunted house
consequently a haunted house must
be the best place possible to live in.
She was serving her fellow creatures
by proving to them that the doctrine
of ghosts must be false. No martyr
ever underwent more agony for the
sake of good cause than she.
At last the meal was over. and the
ex-charwoman had cleared away. The
group drew around the blazing fire.
Mrs. Cowley took her knitting; Miss
Catherine, with an air Of making her
self at home, performed wonderful
feats with her crochet needles; Mr..
Cowley pished and pshawed over the
columns of his Times, which in the
hurry Of removal. he had not had an
opportunity to read before. All were
employed except Rose, and she evil
IDENTIFY found it very hard to settle to
anything. She walked about the room,
till her father growled out request
that she would not fidget him; so then
she lifted the curtain and gazed out
for long time upon the bare and DESC
late lawn, looking more desolate still
beneath the pale light of the wintry
moon.
A thought struck her as she stood
there. She gave a little delicious
SILVER, then left the room and went
upstairs.
The turret chamber had been pre-
pared for her by special request. Miss
Cowley's room was exactly opposite,
so that the sisters could easily COM
municate with each other if necessary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cowley had chosen a
large, square chamber at the back Of
the house, and the revolver was al
ready lying on a table close beside the
bed. Fires were blazing brightly in
all these rooms. They looked exceed
ingly snug and coy in the rudy glow.
Still, not the less for fire and candle,
did Rose feel the unseen presence of
some former inhabitant OF the place.
she hurried nervously down the pass
age, entered her own room. took a
book from her dressing bag and re-
treated without daring even to give a
glance at the oaken cabinet in the cor
ner. Quicker and quicker she went on
her way back. breathing short and feel
ing terribly frightened. though
that she should do so. She

A $500 purse for a fight between Mike
Queenan and Jack Lafontise to take
place on February 18th, was put up Sat

Alder Gulch, where she was beloved by
men and women of all creeds. Some
years ago she was called to the mother
house of the order in LeavenWOrth Kan,
Where she remained for some time. Six
years agL she was sent to Butte to pre-
side as mother superior at the hospital.
The attack of pneumonia which re-
suited fatally, began on the first day of

cal attention the patient gradually grew
worse until death relieved her yesterday
