said to have been contemplating buy

Railway, which would have made the
Mexican National Railway very power

government determined to check

soIidators by securing the Inter-Ocean-

pToach of monopoly. The paper says:
Great corporations operating here,
it is said, are agitating for the adop-

danger that the railways, which by
no means have put I'D their rates to
the maximum permitted by their char

Undress Titles of Royalty.

from the LONDON hlnE.
Members of all European royal fami-
lies delight to travel incognito when
ever they can, for it spares them
great deal of tiresome etiquette, and
contributes to their comfort in many
ways. When Queen Victoria wished to
be incognito she adopted her title of
Countess OF Balmoral. King Edward.
when he was Prince of Wales, used
the title of Earl of Chester frequently
when on the continent. The Empress
Eugene travels as the Countess de
Pierrefonds, a title chosen from a fav-
orite shooting-lodge in the Forest of
Fontainebleau. The King of the Bel
gians is Count Ravensten when he
pays an informal visit to London or
any other capital where he wishes to
he unrecognized. The Queen Regent of
Spain, who Is just now enjoying her
first real holiday out of Spain for some
years, hides her identity under the IT,
tie OF Countess of Toledo; the Queen of
Portugal, when she stays with her rela-
tives in this country, is the Marqueza
de Villacoza: and the King of Por-
tugal uses the incognito title of Count
de Barcellos.

English Reports on American Edu-

From the london ChronI

From the London Chronicle.
careful study of these reports is
calculated to fill the English education-
alist with a sense of profound humiiia-
ton. The lines of advance which
American education has followed may
not always satisfy him any more than
they always satisfy the American, but
what cannot fail to impress him is the
general enthusiasm for education. the
vitality and capacity for growth
which mark the system. the incessant
striving after better methods and
higher ideals that appears to distln-
guish both teachers and taught.
Though the educational advantages
provided vary a good deal in different
states-for it is as well to remember
that the system of education in the
United States is not national in any
sense, but that each state provides and
supervises it's own system in -ntire in
dependence-yet. underlying all differ
ences of method, there is an essential
unity of aim, which is ito make demo-
cratic education universally accessible.
and by means of it to lift UP the whole

look like ordinary sores and are usually
treated as such, some simple salve, wash
or powder being used in the hope of dry
ing them up and stopping the discharge;
but while the place may temporarily scab
over, it again inhames and testers, be-
coming as bad or worse than ever. After
awhile the deadly poison begins to eat
into the surrounding flesh and the sore
spreads with frightful rapidity. Then the
sharp shooting pains. which distinguish
the cancerous from the common ulcer,
are felt, and the unfortunate patient is
brought face to face with the most dread
ed of all maladies, cancerous ulcer.
Whenever an ulcer of any kind is slow
in healing it should be closely watched,
particularly if there is an inherited pre-
disposition to cancer. Often times ma
ignant, stubborn ulcer starts from boil,
wart, mole, bruise, blister or pimple, for
when the blood is tainted and the germs
and seeds of cancer are implanted in the
system, you cannot tell when nor where
the deadly poison is going to break out.

A STORY OF FORREST.

How the Peppery Actor Squared Ac-
counts With One Critic.
Many years ago Edwin Forrest, the
celebrated actor, when in New York,
was in the habit of dining at Win
dust's, noted restaurant on Park
row that was favorite resort Of ac-
tors and literary men. It usually hap
pened that Forrest would be Joined by
friends and that the little group would
sit together at one table. On one oc-
casion it CHANGED that an Englishman
with reputation for conceit and i'm
pertinence, who had scraped acquaint-
ance with the tragedian, was one Of
the group. ..a
Early in the course of the dinner the
Englishman began to make criticisms
which he considered pleasantries about
Forests conception of certain roles.
Encouraged by his own appreciation he
gave full play to his humor and con.
cluded each of his impertinences with.
"Pardon my freedom, sir; it's my way"

Miracles Of Warfare.

Until war ceases, which will be the
greatest miracle of all, it will always
be the exhibition ground Of miracles.
How can bullet puncture a mans
coat behind and before or piece his
boot and sock and be gravely shaken
out Of both without wounding him?
And what mysterious channel does this
human body contain which leads q
bullet dexterously around the heart,
hairs breadth from the seat of life, yet
never rending it-a phenomenon voucsl-
ed for by more than one army surgeon:
Shells have burst thunderously be-
tween the very legs Of soldiers and left
them still soldiers. Pompom shells Of
two inches diameter have passed
through legs and arms without shattor-
Ing the bone or bursting at the impact,
though there appears to be literally no
room for, such a merciful performance.

Grewsome FootbaIl Lerend.

Where did football originate? Some
people give ancient Chester, in Eng
land, credit for bringing the great
winter pastime into existence. There
is a record of football playing in that
city in the year 1910, but Chestrians
believe in legend of much earlier
date.
In the tenth century, it is said, a
Dane was captured and beheaded by
the citizens. Some one began kicking
the head about the streets, others
followed, and it was discovered that
this formed new and decidedly fas-
cinattng sport. This was repeated
whenever possible, but as enemies
heads became scarcer and the enter
tainment of kicking them more diff
