Beni min HarriSon's Lunch.

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison,
one of the ablest men who has figured
in our public life, has always been
handicapped by his unresponsive, cold
manner. When he was in the senate.
at Washington, D. c., in the early sos,
he always brought his luncheon to the
committee room. He carried it in his
coat pocket and would eat it while he
went on with his work. One day when
he got it out as usual from his pocket
he looked it all over ruefully, for 1t
did look rather fiat and dubious. He
finally remarked to those near, by that
he guessed he must have sat on it &C.
cidentally. One of his colleagues-one
who had recently been ignored by Har-
rison-spoke up impulsively: well,
by Jove, Harrison, if you've sat on it,
I'll bet you a sixpence it is frozen
solid," and Of course shout went up
from the whole committee. Harrison
took the joke kindly and Joined in the
laugh.

Shot an Exuliing glIshman.

The British and the Beers at Pieters
Hill were crouching behind powders
scattered over a wide surface. The
moment a man on either side emerged
from his cover he was at once the tar
get Of the enemy's bullets. A Boer,
partly, it seemed, in bravado. made a
sudden sally to join neighbor. An
Englishman who had long watched the
rock and was Becoming sick with hope
deferred, took aim and brought the
daring one down. So delighted was he
with his luck that he threw himself on
his back behind the shallow shelter
Of his bowlder and kicked his heels
into air. In his transport his heel rose
above the rock. as he was instantly
made aware by q bullet transfxing hIs

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.
Ia National Contests the Heaviest OusIsy
NJ II Near the Close.


s II Nsar the Close.
The most expensive work OF ma
(. tional campaign is done during the last
three weeks before the election. Every
doubtful state and city Is closely
watched by men prompt to discover
every change in the political tide, ana
money is transmitted in large sums 70
the localities in which 1t is believed II
will produce the best results. A rev
days before the election In 1888 West
Virginia received $4,000 from the
democratic national committee and the
Republicans sent $4,000 to the same
state. About the same time the Demo
Gratis sent 100000 into Indiana; anc
three nights before the election Cnalr
man Quay OF the Republican national
committee sent 100000 from new
York to trusted lieutenants IN for'
Wayne, Ind. A fortnight before the
election In 1896 the Republicans BE-
came doubtful about Iowa, says Worlds
Work. Chairman Hanna at once re-
solved upon a personal canvas OF every
doubtful voter in the state. He pro-
posed that every voter not classed on
the polling lists either as Downright
Democrat or a downright Republican
should be visited by some jealous ana
tactful member OF the Republican par
ty. Before election day the thousands
of such men in towns, in cities and IN
the country were sought out and sp'
pealed to by the Republicans most
likely to win them; and this canvass
is said to have cost the Republican
national committee more than $2OO,Ooo
Reckoning all the expenses In all the
states. it may be roughly estimated
that presidential campaign, including
also congressional, gubernatorial and
lesser campaigns, causes the total e3'
penditure of perhaps $20,00O.0o0.

Immense Herring Traffic.

The annual North sea herring voy-
age, which begins off the Northumber-
land c,,ast, has resulted. on the COM
pletiop of the first stage, in catch Of
over $4,000 Grams of behring's, valued
at about 10000. A cram contains, ac-
cordink to size. from 600 to 1000 fish.
AS the fish move southwark, the big
fleet If several hundred sail follows,
and ii is now making its headquarters
at Grimsby, whence its operations Will
shortly be transferred to Yarmouth
and IOwestoft, where the fishing con-
tinues until Christmas, and affords enl-
ployn ent to many thousands Of both
men and women, says Tit-Bits. Last
year 1T Yarmouth alone no fewer than
34S,0CD 900 herring; were landed, and
as this year steam fishing boats have
largely replaced sailing vessels. it is
expected this great total will be far
exceeded, for in single week $4,000
Grams have been taken on the northern
grounds, giving return of over H..
900 to the fishermen.

FACTOR in POLITICS.
New Fedora tlon OF Australia Must Here
after Re Considered.

New Federation Of Australia Must here"
after BE Considered.
Australia is to Great Britain the
most valuable OF all her colonies,
writes Hugh M. Lusk in the North
American Review. The external IN
fluence of Australia in the south Pacl"
fic is bound to make itself felt before
long. Those who know Australia best
will have the least doubt that she Will
find means ere long to use that lnnu-
ence for purposes beneficial to herself.
Her people were far from pleased
with what was done in the case OF Sa-
moa; and it is safe to say that no
such policy of concession will ever
command the assent of united Austria
liza. The sphere Of her first interests
will, for the present, be confined main
~ to the Pacific and Indian oceans to
the south of the equator. She will be
interested in the Loyalty group where
France Is established, and in the New
Hebrides, where she is very anxious to
establish herself. She will be solicit
GUS about the Solomon islands, part
Of which are at present recognized as
German territory, and she will take q
very deep interest in the future Of New
Guinea, part Of which belongs to Ger
many, and the rest, beyond the British
section, is understood to form part OF
Holland great but little used estate
in the eastern archipelago. These Will
undoubtedly be Australia's first cares
but she vii not be content with these
for very long. Siam, French and south
ern Chiua and Borneo are natural
marts fer her trade, which in the next
ten years will be a rapidly increasing
one, ant, in relation to all these, she
will exIsect to exercise large influence.

Line Of Boats.
The Collins line OF American steam
ers was established in 1S47. Two years
later, on April 81, 1S49, its first YES
sci, the steamer Atlantic, sailed from
New York. The line was withdrawn IN
1857, soon after the government hao
refused to renew the mail contract
with it. The history of its steamers
briefly told, is as follows: On septem'
Der q, 1854, the Arctic came into col
lision with the French steamer Vesta
and was sunk, only few OF her pas
sengers being saved; on January 23,
1856, the Pacific sailed from Liverpool
with 240 persons on board, including
the wife Of Mr.. Collins, and was never
heard of afterward; the Atlantic was
broken up in New York in 1879; the
Adriatic, built at Greenpoint, N. Y, by
Steers, was sold to the Galway COM
pany, and was afterward used as q
coal hulk in England; the Baltic wal
in the government service during the
civil war as a supply vessel, and waa
afterward sold at auction; her ma
chinery being removed and sold as old
iron, she was converted into sailing
ship and used as a grain carrying YES"
sci between San Francisco and Great
Britain until 1880, when she was bro,
ken up. When the civil war began the
New York and Havre Steam Navtga'
ton company, to which the Fulton
and Arago were chartered, was with
drawn; the Arago was then sold to the
Peruvian government, while the Full
ton became a United States transport
vessel for awhile, but she soon became
useless and was broken up.-New York
