What They Did With the Seeds.

This is the season Of the year when
each congressman receives from the
agricultural department several thou
sand packages Of garden seeds. When
a congressman's district consists Of
nothing but houses, and where there
are no back yards, like Representative
Ruppert's bailiwick, the seeds are trad
ed of for public documents. Mr.. Ruy-
pert. however, sent a few packages to
his New York city constituents al an
experiment. Some of the seeds went
to people living in a model tenement.
A few days g Mr.. Rupert received
a letter from the owner of the tene-
ment. please do not send any moro

Signal for All Nations.

For some time a novel alarm signal
has been in use on the Alps, and 50
successful has it proved that several
European journals are now suggesting
that it be made international instead
OF merely local.
The signal consists of a shout or
whistle or a gunshot. which may be
repeated six times. A traveller who
loses his way on the Alps can also give
the alarm by brandishing a lighted
lantern six times at regular intervals.
The essential feature Of the signal IL
that the shout or the whistle or the
gunshot must be repeated six times
no more and no less. Anyone who
hears such a signal is bound to respond
Immediately.
Before, however, he goes to the as
sistance Of the person in need, he must
let him know that his appeal for help
has been heard, and this he is to do
either by shouting or whistling three
times, or by firing three shots.

The Rubbish Get In.

The last time Rudyard Kipling was
In Cape Town he discovered a military
hospital in the neighborhood which
was without ~bandages, and very badly
In need Of them. The shops OF the town
had lots Of bandages for sale.
He mentioned the matter to a friend
and said he would supply the want.
Whereupon his friend rejoined that he
would pay for all the bandages that
Kipling would take to the hospital.
A wagon was loaded, and then Mr..
Kipling learned that, according to the
regulations, a hospital was O allowed
to receive supplies from private indi-
viduals.

the packages on the pavement before
the hospital door, and then go in and
tell them to como out and clear up the
rubbish. Perhaps in that way they car
manage to smuggle them into the
building without having any red
tape"
Somehow or other the goods were
smuggled into the hospital.

MARQUIS OF LANspowNE.
The Only Man In the British Cabinet
Who Could Speak French.

The Only MAJ In the British Cabinet
Who Could Speak French.
When the Marquis of Lansdowne was
governor-general Of Canada he had to
make q speech to the French-Cana-
dams, says M. A. p. With all it, 10y
atty to the English connection. this
little bit Of transported France adheres
very rigidly to many things French, and
especially to the purity Of the French
tongue-at least as it wal spoken in
the eighteenth century. Few viceroys
have ever ventured accordingly to
leave the safe security Of the English
tongue, and it was with some trepida-
ton that the French-C Canadians heard
that Lord Lansdowne was going to de-
liver a speech to them in their own
language. But he had scarcely uttered
the word "messieurs'' when the whole
audience burst into cheers; they REQ
ognized at once the accent OF the true
French tongue, the accent only posi-
BILE to q man of French blood, and one
who had spoken French as his mother
tongue. It is perhaps this accomplish
ment which had something to do with
Lord Lansdowne's latest appointment.
When some n demonstrated with
Lord Salisbury for retaining tho two
Offices Of prime minister and foreign
secretary, his reply was that he could
not help himself, there was but n
member Of his cabinet who could
speak French. and that was Lord
Lansdowne. And Lord Laasdowne
will receive the foreign ambassadors
every Wednesday afternoon, and what
ever else may be found fault with, his
French will be faultless. Lord Lens-
downe's mother was a daughter Of Gen.
Flahalt, n Of Bonaparte's ofhesrs.-

SOME SURPRISES IN MOURNING
Two Phases OF the English "onsn'
wav Of Maaifesting Grief.

Two Phases Of the English woman's
way OF M%a.ifssting Grief
"One of the things that every little
while gives me a surprise In England
is the vagaries Of conventional
mourning as practiced in English So
ciety." says an American woman who
has lived much in London. Il never
quite know what to expect from an
English woman in mourning.
Last season over there 7 was CIV
ing a dinner and confided to an Eng
lish friend with whom l was quite
intimate and who was in deep mourn-
ing my regret that she could lot be
present.
Why, my dear" she said. I'll
come directly, but l must dine up
stairs"
80, on the night in question she,
in a dazzling effective dinner dress OF
black gauze. decollete and sleeveless,
was served with dinner in the library
while the rest Of my guests sat
through the courses in the dining
room.
When the ladies went to the draw
ing-room Mrs. G. was there, took col
fee with us gaily and finished the
evening with the gentlemen as they
strolled in from their cigars.
"This should have prepared me for
any inconsistency. But not very long
afterward l could with difficulty re-
press a smile at the conduct Of an
other English woman in mourning
whom l met at the house OF a friend.
A table Of bridge was being made up
and the hostess asked her to join.
Yes. DEAR" she replied, caressing-
ly, "but you must put me at q mourn
ing table"

play with persons who were in be-
reavement like herself."-New York

STILL HAVE BELIEF IN WITCHES

Remarkable Case Of superstition Re-
ported from England.
Superstition Is not yet dead. A few
days ago a lady living in Cornwall re-
ceived a letter from a oma dwelling
twenty miles away in a lonely coast
village, in whose house she had fire.
Quently spent some months of the
summer months. The letter was not
well written, but the m can hard
ly be old enough to have escaped COM
pulsory education altogether. Yet she
wrote to say that there was somebody
in that coast village who had been ill
wished and wal in consequence likely
to die. She had heard that in the
town to which she had addressed her
letter there was a skillful white witch
who, for a consideration. would be
willing to provide the sufferer with
a charm which would be a sovereign
cure. She asked the lady to endeavor
to discover the name and address Of
the benefactor. That such a letter
should be written in these civilized

ton according TO Choctaw laws. The ques
ton now comes UP. suppose McCurtain
is declared governor by the interior de-
partment and he should as governor
sign the deeds to town lots, to the In
dian allotments and TO the coal and as
phalt lands. Then there would be suit
brought to invalidate all OF those deeds
on the grounds that McCurtaln was not
governor OF this nation according TO
ioctaw law, and had no right to give
any title to such lands; the contention
would then hinge upon the question Of
who is governor according to the Choc-
taw law.
1t would seem that this question has
been recognized by the n. X. & T. rail-
road. for just the other day in serving
notice on the governor of the Choctaw
nation in regard to some right OF way
buiness, it had the notice served on
turtain, Hunter and Dukes, that It
would be sure OF the right one.
This question Of governorship should be
settled at once, and settled in such a
manner that it will stand a judicial inves-
tigation 1t hould be, settled at once. be-
cause it is time to take the clog from
around the neck of progress in this coun-
try. It should be settled correctly, be-
sause there is too much at stake TO risk
a superficial settlement.

who has just returned from Washing

Hon. W 4. Hutcvhings in the interest
Of T. w Hunter for governor of the
Choctaw nation.
Mr.. Durant refused to state what had

and says they intend to fight this matter
to the last ditch. and that they are con-
fident of winning in the end; that Mr.
Hunter had been elected according TO
Choctaw law, and that he would be rec

To the News man this continued mud

up a pretty kettle of fish, not only to
the Chostaws. but to every man, woman
and child in the Chckasaw and Choc-

this question to a settlement by ChOc-

The Choctaw government is separate
