CLING TO BITS OF LAND.
Towns In India That Neither France
Nor Portugal VIII Surrender
Claims To,

Portugal owns Goa, territory hav-
ing an area of over 1000 square miles,
beside Damaun, to the north of Bonn
bay, and Diu, off the Guzerat coast.
The French flag floats over Pondi-
cherry, on the Coromandel coast, and,
in addition, she possesses Chanderna-
gore, on the banks of the Hooghly, II
miles north of Calcutta; Karikal, a
small and swampy settlement in the
Cauvery delta; Yanaon, near the
mouth of the Godavery river, and Ma
hee, small town on the opposite
coast of the peninsula.
None of these possessions are of any
practical use to their respective own
ers, while to England they would be Of
considerable value. Yet neither nation
will part with any of them for any
consideration whatever, says Stray

She Was Too Smart.

Two years ago an American woman,
visiting the south of France in the
spring, heard good deal of talk
about certain Countess of Killar-
ney, who was also on visit. She
looked the unknown up in a peerage
to see who she was and discovered
that, in the words of the immortal
Mrs. Prig. there amt no sich per-
SON." Full of triumph, she waited
until the conversation turned on
Lady Killarney, and then she brought
out a thunderbolt-the woman was
an impostor, there was no Lady Kill
larney, and she was downright sorry
that her friends were taken in. There
was a pause. Then a smile began to
appear, and one of the ladies re-
marked, sweetly: Don't you really
know that Countess of Killarney is
the incognito of the duchess of
York;" AS the duchess Of York is
the wife of King Edwards son, heir
apparent to the British throne, there
was one American woman who
wished she had not been so smart

USED HIS TALENT.
An ImpecuniOus French Noble Who
PrOfited by His Ability to
Make Salads.

NJ. Brilla tSavarin, in his Memoirs of
his time, gives the history of several of
the French mobiles who fed to England
to escape the guillotine. Among those
who found themselves penniless and
without profession or craft by which
to earn their bread was Comte DIAL
bignac of old and noble family.
One day, while seated in a cafe in
London, three or four young English
noblemen sat down at neighboring
table to dine. Presently one of them
came to him and said: Monsieur, L
have heard that all Frenchmen excel
in making a salad. Will you do US the
favor of mixing one for us?"
D'Albignac hesitated, but then gayly
sat down with them and prepared the
salad. He had great skill. The men
ate with enthusiasm, and exchanged
cards with him 1t parting. But one of
them with the card pressed a sovereign
into his hand.
D'Albignac trembled with rage, but
a quick second thought kept him silent.
He was a nobleman. None of his race
had ever earned money. But why
should he not earn money? He had
this little art:; why not use it to make
his bread? Was it not more honorab
than to live, as many of his fellow
refugees were doing, on the charity of
their friends? He bowed to the COM
pany and put the sovereign in his
pocket.
The next day he was asked to go to
large mansion where dinner-party
was to be given, to dress the salads.
His salads became the fashion. He was
summoned to every large entertain
ment, and his skill enabled him to
charge large sums. He remained in
London for few years, and then, with
his savings, returned to France,
bought a small estate in Limousin, re-
sumed his rank. and lived comfortably
for the rest of his life.

MOST NORTHERN RAILWAY.
The Little wild Goose Road from
Nome to Anvil City Is a
MOney-Maker.

Miners back from Nome, which is
now city of six or seven thousand
inhabitants, give interesting ac-
counts of the Wild Goose railway,
the most northern line in the world,
one of the shortest, and probably
for its length the most profitable,
says report in the New York Sun.
The Wild Goose road was built by
c. ID. Lane, the California man who
has made so much money in Alaska.
1t runs from Nome five miles back
into the country to Anvil City, and
its running time is about an hour for
the distance.
1t has narrow gauge, one engine,
one box car and several fiat cars. 1t
runs only in summer, but last year
its net profit was $2s0,OOO.
The passengers ride on benches in
the one box car and pay one dollar
for the tive-mile journey. The freight
rate is $40 ton, the same rate that
is paid for carrying freight from
Seattle, 5000 miles to Nome.
The road is not graded and its ties
are laid on the frozen tundra, and
and the tracks with them sink deep
into the mud. The engine conse-
quently runs through black lakes
whose waters splash furiously and
threaten the engine fires.
There are several gullies on the
line and the train rushes down one
side with a speed that generally car
ries it up the other. If it doesn't
reach the top it backs off and bucks
at it until it succeeds.
The road doesn't possess a turn
table, so the trip from Anvil City
back to Nome is made backward, and
in order that the engineer may see
his track there is a window at each
end of the passenger box car.
Through these windows, also, the
passengers get their only view, and
the blocking of them by passengers
heads is the cause of many obiurga-
tions on the part of the engineer.
Collisions, of course, are unknown
on the Wild Goose railway, but it is
by no means an uncommon incident
for engine and train to be tipped
over on the tundra. Neither is this
serious matter, because they are
so light that they are easily lacked
back again. There is one draw
bridge across Snake river.
The whole equipment of the road
was brought to Nome in the spring
of 1900 by one of c. ID. Lanes steam
ers, and cars and engine were swung
from lighters directly on to the
tracks by means of big cranes set
up on the beach.

SignnI 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 suggest
ing that it be made international in
stead of merely local.
~rhe signal consists of shout or
whistle or a gunshot, which must be
repeated six times. A traveller who
loses his way on the Alps can also
give the alarm by brandishing aIight-
ed lantern six times at regular inter
walls. The essential feature of the
signal is that the shout or the whistle
or the gunshot must be repeated six
times-no more and no less. Any one
who hears such a signal is bound to
respond Immediately. Before, how
ever, he goes to the assistance 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.-N. Y. Herald.

A MODEL HOTEL CLERK.
He Hns Phenomenal Memory and
His CHEEKY Manners GLADDEN.
His Guests.

The hotel clerk stood behind his
little bar, and, one after another,
the guests arrived. Thus, smiling af-
fably, did the hotel clerk handle
them, says the Philadelphia Record.
MIR. A, I'm glad to see you. Will
you have your old room, 304, again?
Good! It's vacant, fortunately.
How do you do, Mr.. B? There are
five letters waiting for you. /
rather expected you tonight, so l
had fire built in the open CRATE in

CRATES, 1 suppose? Mr.. c., you are
just in time. We engaged a new
pastry cook yesterday, and the boss
said he hoped you would be along
soon to pass judgment on him.
Would you like 2S9 again? All right.
Front! 2S9. Hullo, Mr.. D.! l didn't
think you'd visit us this winter. One
of your men told us about your ty-
phoid fever siege. L think you're
looking mighty well, all things con-
sidered."
Very wonderful was the hotel
clelh . memory, anu very Plcdo"h'
was the effect of it upon the faces
of the guests. Their worn and har-
ried look vanished; they smiled; it
delighted them to be welcomed so
agreeably. And thus does the typ
ical hotel clerk of the big city con-
duct himself always, doing more by
his tremendous memory and tremen-
dous tact than any other employe
to help his boss get rich.

LOVE is LAW.

Roughly in the walls of time =
Progress rings its runic rhymet
But the human heart doth feel
More than wisdom can reveal; IS
And the force that battles fate
On proud knowledge doesn't wait.
For, through all the storied strife
OF the onward sweep of life
There's a power that thrills the living
throng
That moves each soul with an undylrg
song
o harbinger of rare delight
. reVealer of the right!
In material-burdened space
Never vert thou given place!
Yet cost thou light each ddrIened way,
Thou soul-flame and celestial ray!
Ruler over good and i'll
Stronger than the strongest Will.
Thou art the Law of Love that ever pleads
For higher living and for helpful deeds.
long in labyrinthine ways,
Through the quick recurring days,
One procession works and waits
BY lifes outward swinging gatesi
And wherever smoke ascends,
And wherever faith defends,
Lo, spirit flames above
All the toiling-it is Love!
The love that lives
In one who gives
His life to help all humankind:
VINO labors late ....
With purpose great
The ways of happiness to bind.
Love is law! the human heart
Feels it cen in busy mart!
Where worship is, where sacrifice
Conceals itself by strange device,
There this law of life prevails.
And no true love ever fails;
Work is but the outward show
or the feeling hid below
Who homes for and lrpar Of hrOth-
erhood
Holds Love to be the only guide to good
Change that in material things
Beauty from the barren brings,
In the soul-world serves to show
Character from failure grow;
And the histories of place,
Annals of each buried race
Wise tradition, dear and old,
Are as naught. till Love be told.
When from the heart this ruling force shall
fly
What matters life or death If duty die?
Lo. the motive in good deed,
And the leaven in each creed.
Strength of arm and help of hand,
Plenteous increase in the land,
Temples builded, public veal,
Words that doubling sorrow heal.
The truth that's told on printed page
And all the uplift of an age,
Are but the light
or Loves great might
That through mans progress ever flows;
And will is vain
If conscience reign
Not in the life that merely knows.
