THE powers are finally agreed on
the amount of indemnity they will ask
of China. 1t is the modest sum Of
$3l4,79O,OOO. Of course China can
not pay such stupendous sum, but
the foreign nations want refusal,
whereupon they will proceed to divide
up the empire. The United States
want no part in this scheme, Uncle
Sam having all that he can digest in
the Philippines.

Ethel" said Lionel Bertram Jones, as he dropped his slice of bread in the plate with noise that set the canary in the gilt cage overhead chirPing merrily. .Ethel, have something to say to you"
 They had been married only four weeks, and the time had not arrived when she did all the saying. "Doy you remember the day on which I pro- posed to you?"
 "Yes," she replied, T willnever for get it.''
 "Do you remember" he went on, as he abstractedly drilled a hole in the loaf with the point of Q carving knife, 'how, when I rang the bell, you came to the door with your fin gers sticky with dough, and said you thought it was your little brother who wanted to get in ?"
 "Yes.n
 ooh, Ethell How could yo? How could you?''
 "How could I what?" she respond ed, as a guilty look crept into her face.

GEN. WHEELER oBEYED.


 At Washingtonsthe other day it was raining hard and the street cars were crowded with passengers more or less bedraggled. Among them was Gen. Joe Wheeler. Next to him was a woman wearing a macintosh who rose to get out at Fourteenth and K streets. Gen Wheeler noticed an um- brella leaning against the car seat He grabbed the umbrella and ran after the woman. caught her at the door, and said: Pardon me, madame but you left your umbrella.'' The woman looked puzzled, but took the umbrella. Gen. Wheeler resumed his seat. Then the woman on tl.e other side Of him gave q litle scream, and said: "WEy, you nasty old man, you gave that woman my umbrella Then she appealed to the coliductor. Gen. Wheeler apologized, but tho woman said: Now, you just get right off the car and get it for 1De or Hi notify the police.'' Weekly the veter- an of three wars tunbled off, into the rain and ran after the woman with fac macldntosh. He made q hurried explanation. got tie umbrella and rushed back to tho waiting car. As he handed it back to its owner, he said: T trust you will pardon me, madam. assure you it was all a rnis, take." The woman glared at him. T don't know about that. ''she said.

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.

France has only one university, that of Paris, but has university colleges.
 The public schools of Washington are opened every day with the reading of the Bible.
 In 1899 the public high schools of the United States graduated 20,344 boys and 36,124 girls. The boys are taken from school earlier than the girls and put to work.
 Among the 2,754 students who ma circulated at the Edinburgh university last year there were 252 women, 215 of whom were enrolled in the faculty of arts, three in science, 13 in medicine and 21 in music.
 An effort is being hade to establish in one of the Scotch universities a chair for the study of the Scots lam guage and literature. The old Scottish tongue as written by James ". is al most unintelligible to the modern Scotchman.
 The late Gen. Harrison was the only man ever elected president who dur ing his college days was member of a Greek letter society The society whose alumni rolls are honored with his name is the Phi Delta Theta, which is one of the famous Miami triad'' of fraterhities, the other two being the Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi. The chapter of which Gen. Harrison was g member was the first chapter or ganized in the fraternity--thes sone at Miami university, Ohio.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, who was in Washington several days on official business says he was given to understand that the cases against several North Carolinians who have been indicted in the federal courts for alleged violations of the election laws last November, will shortly be aban- doned and nolle pressed, because of the opinion of the prosecuting officers that the law will not hold in the eases in question. Speaking of the rumor that ex-Senator Butler, chairman of the populist national committee, would be given federal office, Senator Sim mons said: MT Butler would prob ably be able to advance some argu- ment why this should be done, for the populist party in North Carolina cer- tainly contributed to the reelection of President Mckinley as far as was in their power. MT Buffers own county, where there are more populists than democrats and republicans combined, gave Mir Mckinley q majority. It was also true all over the state that the populists to considerable extent voted the republican ticket.

HEARD IN PASSING

Although he saw the oath taken, the emperor of Germany has just officially learned that England has a new mon arch. The news was carried to Berlin by special embassy.
 By decision of Secretary Root tim ber-cutting does not come under the Philippine concessions, prohibited by congress. It is said that this decision will be worth big money to several syndicates operating in the Philip pines.
 In exploiting the fact that our ex- ports to the Philippines have increased the treasury statisticians take good pains not to mention that the greater portion of those exports have been due to our maintaining an army of 75,O0o men in the Philippines and . large naval force in adjacent waters.
 Several prominent democrats, includ- ing Senators Bacon and Turner, and Representative Gaines, of Tennessee, are going to make a personal investi- gation, at their own expense, of things in the Philippines and in China. They will doubtless gather much informa- ton that will, be useful at the next ses- sion of congress.
 A great many changes have been rung on the original story which re- lated howa Bostonian died and went to heaven, whereupon he was asked how he liked it, when he answered: Well. it isn't Boston," But testing aside. we fancy that. Massachusetts is like heaven in one respect. at least It has lots more women than men, Boston Herald.
 After what has already taken place there is nothing strange in the,talk of a mammoth railroad trust, to take in all the big lines, and the combining of all the meat-packfng interests in q sim gle trust. Why shouldn't the trusts grow? They have everything in their favor just now, including an attorney general who will not worry them by trying to convict under federal laws. There will be. change some day.

The administration has once more re- vived tile story that the sultan of Tur- key is about to pay those long-stand- ing American missionary claims. Like all it's predecessors, the new story says that this time payment is cock sure, owing to the, cleverness wltn which our diplomats have got the sui- ian bound. Common decency ought to keep the administration silent on this question until it can announce that these claims have been paid IL has allowed itself to be bluffed anu barnboozled by the sultan to an extent that has made this government the laughing stock of the diplomatic world.

BERNHARDT AND ALLIGATOR.

The admirers of Mime Bernhardt will never believe that the alligator captured by her party last Thursday came to the surface in response to the caterwaulings of the guide," declared the professional poet of the local Latin quarter. according to the New Orleans TimeS-Democrat. ..The theory is bald. paltry and totally lacking in imagina- uon. No doubt the guide caterwauled, but his caterwauling has no more ef- feet upon the saurian than a plaster on a wooden leg; the-''

 .'The Spell l-Bound Alligator The gator was peacefully sleeping. In the mud of his native bayou, When over the bottom came creeping The shade of stealthy canoe. Awakened. and skyward up-glancing The saurfan quiyered to mark A lady of beauty entrancing,
 Poised lily-like over the bark. She bent to the waters her forehead. She peered into the turbulent tide; The gators cool pulses grew torrid; By love! what q stunner!'' he cried. Spell-bound by the wonderful stranger, By the magic that dwelt in her
 glance,
 Transfxed and unconscious of danger. The gator rose up in a trance. Rose up through the substrata sooty. Rose mesmerized, muddy and
 mailed,
 Blind captive to genius and beauty . Thus the hypnotized gator was
 nailed!
 Be kind to the gator. ohl lady!
 Twas under thy spell he arose, From his lair meath the water weeds

 Although hardly pushed to furnish official salaries for republican lame ducks who are still unprovided for, Mir Mckinley was not prepared to se- lect a governor of Porto Rico from that class, or else he was afraid to do so. So he surprised Governor Alien' who came to Washington for the eN- press purpose of resigning that ofnce' by telling him that he must hold it no longer. Being one of MT McKinley's good friends. Governor Allen swal- lowed his disappointment as best he could, and promised to return to Porto Rico about the 1st of May. By the way, speaking of Porto Rico, there is a wide difference between the rosy views of existing conditions, commer- cial and industrial, on the island, ex- pressed by Governor Allen, and those which come from reputable newspaper correspondents and other sources.

The question of the treatment of employees by the employer has been q subject at all times for much com ment. A writer in one of the April magazines says that it is by a grave oversight that the manufacturer has not oftener considered the employees interest parallel with his own il build ing up his works. Within city limits, this is perhaps hardly possible; but it is growing more and more common for large works to move, or to be estab- lished, in rural and semi-rural dis tricts, where land and taxes arc low and there is room to spread as the growth of business may demand Un- der these conditions it has been alto gether too conmon-at least in tlie United States-for the proprietor to for himself and leave his workpeople to get what they could after his bar gain was tightly closed. 1t is not at all uncommon for q factory site to be given to the owners of the business, free of any charge, and often free of taxes for period of years, in consid-i eratioE of their locating i'll a certain place. The neighborhood gains from the increased population and the in- creased chance of employment for it's own people; but the employees practi- cally pay the bill for the site, for all ground nearby is advanced greatly in value, houses are built in certainty that they will be absolutely needed by the incoming army of workers. and local landlords and lodging-house keep CTS put up their prices to the limit. In case of this sort, it certainly seems as if it would be only reason able and just for the employers to act as trustee of the tacitIy eonfided in terest of their men and to secure for them the same advantages they get

A Big snappfnr Turtle.

What is said to be the largest turtle ever shipped to the Smithsonian insti- tuition is there now awaiting shipment to Buffalo, where it will crown the suc- cessful collection of tortoise and fish life now ready for the opening. This alligator snapper measures five feet from tip to tip, and is the largest ever caught, exceeding in size the we'll known Florida gopher. The average length of the shell of this family of turtle is three feet.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Marine Plants on the Roof of Asia.
 A remarkable discovery by Capt. H: F.

The plants were not growing, but were found,, with their leaves and fruit, deposited in a bed 10 or 12 feet thick, which was covered and inter spersed with strata of blue clay.
