LoUBET's ECONOMY,

Substantial Food the Kind the French
President Likes.
Besides his salary of $3.50, 900 a year.
the president of France has a civil
list of s126, 900 a year and an allow
ance of 100000 a year for travelling ex-
.penses. This allowance for travelling
expenses was voted to Marshal Mac
Mahon to keep him from running
wild" with the Bonapartists, but he
never touched a franc of it. 1t was
allowed to accumulate until M. Grevy
became president, when that worthy
drew the arrears and pocketed them.
The allowance for travelling expenses
is largely clear profit, for the presi-
dent travels free, and all he disburses
when on a journey is given in the way
of tips. He is exceedingly generous
in regard to tips-as well he may.
In spite of his large income Presi-
dent Loubet exercises a rigid economy
at the Elysee. At ordinary luncheons
there is a handsome "set out" but the
fare is more substantial than luxur-
ious. The food left over from the
dinner of the night before is arranged
with all the skill Of a "chef" to figure
on the luncheon table, the. cold veg
etables being served up as "salade
russo" The dinners vary in luxury,
according to what guests are to be
present. When only ordinary people
have been invited to partake of the
presidential hospitality the cost is
about 81 a plate. When a lot of really
first chop" people are to be present
the cost is Sc a plate, and when a Wis
iting royalty is coming to dinner the
cost goes up as high as So a plate. The
dinners are supplied partly by a pastry
cook shop and partly by the kitchen
force of the palace. After dinner the
wife of n of the officers of the pres
idential household slips out and holds
a consultation with the chef, at which
it is decided what is to go from the
dining room to the servants table and
what is to be fixed up for tomorrow's
luncheon. Dishes supplied from the
pastry cook shop and not broken are
taken back at a reduced price. Yet
with all his economy it is said that
President Loubet does not save a cent
out of his pay and allowances. When
ever he needs al extra allowance for
some special function" it is cheerfully
granted him by the chamber of depu-
ties. The president gives two balls
each year, which cost him Sic, 900 each.
He also gives garden parties, concerts
and theatrical matinees, but they are
arranged so as to cost little or moth
ing.

LIVED LONG ON THE EARTH.
Evidence that Men Existed Before Date
Fixed by Accepted Authority.

Evidence that Men Existed Before Date
Fixed by Accepted Authority.
Fortunately there is no chance for a
religious controversy over recent dis
coveries that seem to upset. the accept
ed chronology of the Bible. That
chronology is admittedly Of human
origin and therefore liable to be falli-
BILE. Professor Flinders Petrie, in a
lecture recently delivered in London,
presented some rather startling theo-
ries as to the antiquity of the human
race that will doubtless give rise to
nor or less dispute. The professors
proofs as to his theories are said to
be incontrovertible. He contends that
there is an unbroken chain of his
toric record going back to 5000 B. c.,
besides objects of art and industry that
carry history back 1000 years further,
thus making the indubitable record
Of human history cover 5000 years.
Yet dates 1000 B. G.. do not take US
back to the beginning. There are
traces, he says, of a civilization that
came to Egypt from some other coun-
try. The earliest graves have figures
of a race of bushmen of a type like
that discovered in France and Malta,
suggesting hat me race formerly. ex-
tended from northern Africa into Eu-
rope. Beyond these bushmen there are
figures of women captured from still
earlier races-probably Of the palace
lithic age. OF this latter age there
are many evidences in the elevated
plateau east of the Nile, where, in a
region at present wholly uninhabita-
BILE, are found the remains of many
settlements. The existence of a popu-
lation here indicates that there was a
time when the climate of Egypt was
totally different from what it is to-
day-when a rainfall fertilized lands
now deserts. Such a climate could
hardly have existed unless the desert
of Sahara was then under water. A
rise of the Saharan area, coinciding
with a sinking of the present bed of
the Mediterranean, would explain the
indisputable fact that the fauna, fora
and racial ~affinities of northern Africa
are with Europe rather than with the
parts of Africa south of the Sahara.
Egypt supplies us, according to Pro-
lessor Petrie, with physical evidences
of the antiquity of man in the shape
OF 5000 years continuous remains, but
other countries, notably M~esopotamia,
furnish similar indications. The
finds" made by recent explorers in
the sites of the old cities in the valley
of the Euphrates seem to prove the
existence of an empire extending from
the Persian gulf to the Mediterranean
at a period when Egypt itself was in
its infancy.-Chicago Chronicle.

why rher called Him Mary.

Two young Philadelphians, who
were introduced to each other by a
friend of both the other day, scrutin-
lzed each other closely, and then one
Of them said: II think / used to know

Mrs. Madison's Case.

Polk City, Ia, Oct. 14th.-For over
ten years Mrs. Elizabeth P. Madison,
a respected lady of this place has suf-
fered most severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with derange-
ments of the bowels and liver. Rheu-
matism another painful result of de-
ranged Kidneys added its tortures to
her burden of pain.
Treatments and medicines without
number were tried; physicians also
exhausted their skill, but all to no
purpose.
At this stage Of the case a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills was re-
sorted to and the results were simply
miraculous, from the very first box an
Improvement was noticed and the
continued treatment resulted in a
complete cure.
This remarkable cure created a de-
cided sensation in the neighborhood
because Of the complications of the
case as we'll as its severity and appar-
ent hopelessness.
Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney
Pills are found to be the only remedy
that has ever cured Bright's Disease.
Diabetes or Dropsy and these hitherto
incurabIe diseases are readily con-
Quered by this remarkable remedy.
