An amusing story of King Christian
and an enterprising begger is going
the rounds in Copenhagen, says the
London Express. The King takes habi-
tually an early morning walk accom-
panied by Prince Waldemar and his
favorite dog.
Recently, during one of these walks.
a ragged man with all the typicil
cringing of a beggar, approached him.
Well" said the King. what is it,
Dare l ask your Majesty for your
portrait as memento?' said the beg
gar humbly.
Naturally the King was both sur
prised and pleased at this declaration
of loyalty, but regretted that he did
rot carry his portraits about with him.
Pardon me, your Mejesty," retorted
the tramp, silly. IF you will look in
your purse you viii probably find one!'
The King, amused at this novel wav

1t is predicted in Washington that
there will be shortly lively set-to be-
tween Senator Hanna and Gov. Gen.
Wood of Cuba. The story is that some
of E. G. Rathbone's friends in Ha-
vana have found certain shortcomings
on the part of Gen. Wood, such as dis
obedience of orders, and that these have
been sent to Senator Hanna, as a
friend of Rathbone, to be presented to
the President. Rathbone is Hanna's
friend. and Wood is Roosevelt's, hence
the possibilities of a lively clash.

The Philadelphia Medical Journal,
quoting the official vital statistics of
the cities of Havana and Guanabacoa.
reaches the conclusion that the race
problem is solving itself in Cuba
without recourse to the aid of philan-
thropic societies or government regula-
tions." In January last, in the munich
palities named, the whites had an ex-
cess of births over deaths of 1SS,
whereas during the same period the
negroes showed an excess of deaths
over births of SIS. Taking the statis-
tics for the year 1901, the whites gained
LAO. While the blacks lost 51S. The
disease from which the blacks suffer
most is consumption.

Alsace- Lorraine is soon to enjoy a
degree of liberty it has not known since
1870. When the province was coded to
Germany after the Franco-Prussian
war the inhabitants resented it as
much as they could safely do. and it
was felt necessary by Germany to pass
laws giving the German governor prac-
tically the powers of a dictator. These
are the laws that are now to be abro-
gated. Bismarck was the first govern
or of the province under German rule.
The population of Alsace-Lorraine is
about 100000. and the province is rep
resented in the German parliament by
fifteen members.

Mr.. Davis Little Joke.

The other morning, before the state
hood bill had been voted on, says the
Washington Post Mr.. Davis of Florida
pushed into the Democratic cloakroom
and hung his new Panama hat on a
convenient peg. A cluster of his col
leagues were discussing the speeches
of the previous day, and finally came
around to praise for the remarks of
Delegate Smith of Arizona
Il understand interposed the Flori-
diam that in spite of Smiths able ar
gument in behalf of the bill, he isn't
going to vote for it,
'Oh, 1 don't believe that" came a
chorus of responses.
We'll. I understand it is really true, +"
reiterated Mr.. Davis.
Hugh Dinsmore of Arkansas rose UP
to protest, but a thought struck him
and he only smiled.
It's really So" Or. Davis insisted
again, by which time it dawned on the
argumentative group that delegates
from the territories have a voice, but
no vote

A FINISHING BLOW.

The formation of the shipping trust
by Mr. Morgan seems to have been
the blow that knocked out of the ship
it. Now and then there is an inquiry
as to why the Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries does not report
it to the House, and Gen. Grosvenor
does not seem to have a satisfactory
reply. 1t is true that he says that the
committee is busy hearing those who
want to express their views in regard
to the bill, but it is pretty well under
stood that those who are seeking the
committee room are not its friends
Their purpose is to tell the committee
that If it doesn't want the Republican
party defeated in the congressional
elections next fall it will keep the bill
in the committee until the elections are
over.
AS a matter Of fact the better opinion
in Congress is that the bill is practi-
oally dead. 1t is question If it ever
comes before the House for a vote on
its merits. Republican members from
the West have been practically deluged
with letters against 1t. The sentiment
in that section seems to be that If Con-
gress were to pass the bill the Republi-
can party would stand little if any,
chance of electing the next President
OF course Senators Frye, Hanna and
other supporters of the bill are very
much disappointed. But what could
they expect? The people are tired Of
trusts. Notwithstanding this fact the
promoters proposed to form a great
shipping trust,-that is, the bill would
open the way for a shipping trust,
because there is generally a trust
where there is a subsidy or tariff pro-
lection.
A great fight was made for the bill
Just what the scheme behind it was
will never be known. in all probability,
but that there was more than appeared
on the surface there is not much room
for doubt, There was not much hope
for the bill before Mr.. Morgan made his
famous deal in ships. When that deal
became known it was admitted that it
had received its death blow

1t is to the credit of the House of
Representatives that only nine mem
bers were found to vote against extend
ing succor to the devastated island of
Martinique. The voting of 5000, 600 for
the purpose was a graceful act which
not only reflected the charitable sym
pathy of the country. but will serve to
strengthen the bonds of friendship be-
tween France and the United States
The opposition to the measure was
ill-considered. On occasions of great
and extraordinary distress. like that
in Martinique, there should be no split
ting of hairs and standing on techni-
calities. The country will unanimous
ly approve the action Of those who vot-
ed the appropriation.

A preacher residing in an Indiana
town is 100000 richer because of the
within of a joker. Three years ago the
preacher, Rev. Mr.. ROscamp, was
given given a big bunch of mining stock
that was supposed to be worthless.
The giver made an elaborate pre-
sentation speech dwelling especially on
the large figures represented on the
face of the certificates. The preacher
smiled. in that resigned sort of way
that ministers sometimes have to af
feet, and put the stocks away. few
days ago he was offered 800, 900 in cash
for his holdings. 1t is now his time
to smile in the real. genuine sort Of
way that expresses pleasure.

An appeal is being made to President
Roosevelt to become the st. Patrick of
Hawai-, with the difference that he is
desired, not to run the snakes out Of
the island. but to keep them from COM
ing into it. There are no snakes in
Hawaii now. but It is complained of
that soldiers returning from the Phil
ippines are bringing with them all sorts
of animals and reptiles as pets, and
that circuses having snakes in their
menageries are permitted TO land in the
islands, whereas formerly all such
shows were vigorously excluded. The
Hawaiians are fearful that the soldiers
and the circuses viii permit some OF
their snakes TO get loose, and thus lay
the foundation for the overrunning OF
the land with the venOmous creatures.

1t is probable that important changes
have been,or will be made in the topog-
raphy of Martinique by the explosion
of Mont Pelee. The information is
that, since blowing off its head" Pc
lee is less than half as high as it was
before. and that a considerable part of
the lowlands have been covered with
the waters of the sea. Should the ac-
tivfty of the volcano be continued for
any length of time there is no telling
Just what would happen. The island
might disappear below the surface of
the waters, as volcanic islands have
done before, or there might be an en-
tirely new formation of lava land
where there is now deep water.

Much has been said in Congress
about the sending of a special envoy to
the coronation of King Edward of Eng
land, but little if anything has been
heard about the sending of a special
envoy to the coronation of King AL
fonso of Spain. And yet we are to be
represented in high style at the Mad
rid function. Our envoy, DR.. Jabez l..
NJ. Curry, who by the way is a Geor-
gian by birth, is not only to be pres
ent as the representative of the United
States, but is to have a royal palace
set aside especially for his use, and
he will be waited upon by both noble
men and liveried fiunkeys. And when
he rides out it will be in a royal coach.

he were of royal blood and the repre-
sentative of one of the monarchs of

RICE WATER NUTRITIOUS.
Curious WAY Some British OHRcers
Discovered This Fact.

Curious Way Some British Omeefs
Discovered This Fact.
It is probable that few occidental
cooks who prepare rice in various
forms for diet are aware that in dis
carding the water in which It Is boiled
they are wasting what is regarded by
the oriental as the most nutritious part
Of the food. This fact was curiousiy
proved some years since when a de-
tachment of Europeans and native
troops In India found themselves be-
leaguered In fort with insufficient ra-
tons, even Of rice. to enable them to
hold out until force could march to
their relief.
1t was when the officers were seri-
Ously debating this problem that the
natives approached them with what
was regarded as curious solution of
the difficulty. If, proposed the latter.
the natives, would be quite content
with the water in which 1t was boiled.
The suggestion. in place OF any better,
was adopted, when it was remarked
that while the Europeans found 1t diff.
dcult to maintain their strength on full
ratiOns of rice the natives lost none of
their stamina by several weeks diet on
the water. When the proposal was
made, the action OF the natives was
praised as one Of great devotion to
their superiors, but the sentiment was
somewhat Modified when the discov-
cry was made that the natives were
cutie aware that the principal nourish-
ment lay in the water.
Since that time Europeans in the orr
ent, following the custom Of the ma
tives, have given rice water to pa
tlents, particularly in cases of cholera,
as a last resort when no other food can
be retained in the stomach and usually
with good results. But the natives al
ways value this water SO highly that 1t
Is never thrown away.
In fact. 1t would surprise many cooks
to discover how much may be done
with this apparently worthless stock.
II the rice is cooked In the oriental
fashion-that Is. boiled only so long
separate and not as a sodden mass
the water when strained Off and per-
mitted to cool will become jelly ap-
preaching the consistency Of blanc
mango. To suit the occidental palate
the water should be favored with an
extract or otherwise the jelly may
have rather an inslpid taste.
