he would receive the necessary
authority very, soon It was
5intirnated also. that in order to
satisfy the people in Denmark,
who are opposing the sale, the
Danish Government would
su ubnait the treaty. to a plebis-
cite of the habitants Of the
islands to determine their sem
timents as to the transfer, but

The treaty must first be APP
proved by the Senate and then
it will be necessary. to secure
an appropriation Of the pur-
chase price from both the Sen
ate and the. House A treaty
does not become a perfected
agreement until the ratifca-
cations have been exchanged
and as this does not usually
take place untilssevera1 months
after confirmation by the Sen
ate, Denmark will have a ample
opportunity of ascertaining the
sentiments of her Antillean
subjects before the time ar
rives for the final act that
would sever her relations with
her West. Indian possessions.
II the plebistite should show
that a majority Of the islands
were oppofed to the transfer,
Denmark could end the. matter
by declining to exchange the
ratifications.
The news inapaIted to the
State Department BY 4r. Brun
came as. "a great surprise to the
American authorities, asst was
believed BY them that the Lib
,eral Ministry Of Denmark had
become frightened over thesas s.
.itation against the transfer and
would decline to accede to the
treaty which it had negotiated
through it's diplomatic repre-
sentative in Washington.
The negotiation Of the treaty
was completed more than a
month ago and copies were
mailed to the foreign office in
Copeneagen. Until to-day
nothing on the subject was
heard from the Danish Govern
ment.
By the treaty absolute sover-
eighty over the islands of st.
Thomas, st. John and st. Croix
or st. Kits, is transferred to
the United States in consider
alton OF the payment Of a sum
said to be about $4,OOO,OOO
which is So, 100000 less than
the amount named IN the trea-
ty negotiated by Secretary
Seward more than thirty years
ago.
Denmark made strong plea
for stipulation that there
should be free trade between
the islands and the United
States, but Secretary Hay de
clined to accede to this for the
reason that only Congress has
the right to make tariff ar.
rangements. Denmark also
wanted this Government tc
agree to take over the inhabi.

inhabitants will therefore come
under the protection of the
United States with the same

the German Minister, the En-
peror said that the death of the
former representative Of the

WHEN ON THE GOLF LINKS.

IA Minneapolis man. according to the
Journal. has learned. while sitting on the
fence ard regarding the golfers, not so
much how to play golf az how to look
while playing II. He has formulated the
following simple rulesl
First. If your hair is good play bare
headed, but if bald wear a hat.
Second. In swatting the ball don't
forget to stand knock -kneed, one foot
erect on the toe and perpendicular to
the turf.
Third. Roll up your sleeves, if your
forearm can stand it.
Fourth, Swearing at play is bad
FORM though an occasional swear
word, particularly from woman, has
rather a pleasant, humorous sound.
Fifth. Consult the legs in the matter
Of breeches, remembering always that
fat legs are worse than thin ones since
the pneumatic stockings arrival.
Sixth. Use singing, staccato voice
in addressing the caddie.
Seventh. Resting the handle of the
stick on your green, pretend every Is
minutes to chalk your cue. The Joke
takes we'll with the caddie.

The Ear.

As delicate as the organ of vision Is
that of hearing, aid as careful Il watch
should DC kept upon il, so that no loss
of that more exquisite sense may oc-
cur.
When several blind persons were
questioned as to which they would
rather do without, their visual organs
or those of hearing. the majority de-
clarcd in favor uf hearing. We feel a
compassion for the blind; for the deaf
we are not often sympathetic. The
spectacle OF sightless individual
touches us to tenrs: that of one who
cannot hear provokes almost a feeling
of drollery. Yet no doubt the loss OF
one organ is as pathetic thing as the
loss of the other
Many erroneous ideas still exist In
the public mind that interfere seriously
with the work OF the skilled aurist.
Too many people think that the ear is
so delicate an organ that nothing
whatever can be done to alleviate any
distress arising therein and allow Il
trivial disorder that might be rectified
by an aurist to bring about case of
partial deafness that settles into per-
manenCy

Dirt In Dainty Carpets.

For housewives who pride them
selves upon the spotleSs flcor coverings
The Druggists Circular gives the fol-
lowing recipe for removing spots of
dirt from carpets:
Make a suds with good white soap
and hot water and add fuller's earth
to this until the consistency of thin
cream. Have plenty of clean drying
cloths, n small Scrubbing brush, large
sponge and a pail of fresh water. Put
some of the cleaning mixture in bowl
and dip the brush in it. Brush small
piece of the carpet with this; then
wash with the sponge and cold water.
Dry as much as possible with the
sponge and finally rub with dry cloths.
Continue this till you are sure that all
the carpet is clean; then let 1t dry.

Hindrances TO success.

Many man with great brain power
and fine physique who started in life
with good prospects has failed to attain
great success because OF little idiosyn'
crasics. peculiarities of speech or man
ner, things not In themselves vicious or
wrong, but which render him disagree
able or unacceptable to those who have
dealings with him.
If it were possible for us to write OF
all the little things which have cut
down the average of our success and
to calculate just how much each has
contributed to the whole. it would be
most helpful.
For example. one young mans ad'
yancemcnt has been cut down % per
cent by bad temper, surly, disagree
able disposition; anothcr's by careless
ness in dress, an mkempt or slovenly
appearance, and yet another's by a
sharp tongue or an unkind habit Of
criticising.
Many n brilliant and capable stcnog'
rapher has failed TO advance because

nizcd her ability, preferred less able

In a larceny case in Maine It was

hours, and then the jury retired to
deliberate upon the evidence and find
a verdict. After being out -four hours
the jury reported that it could not
agree. and accordingly it was dis
charged from further duty in the case,
and the prisoner was remanded to the
Jail. a little later the attorneys for the
respondent got at" one OF the jury

The Chanseling Child.
The Scientific Explanation Of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there Is frequent
mention of changelings children who
were changed by fairy influence. Some
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak of body, and some
times weak of mind. It grew up to
be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful.
1t seemed impossible that love could
bring such child into the world.
So the child was called fairy change
ling, a child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli-
ness they had carried away.
We hear no more of fairy stories.

lovely children must have healthy par
ents, and that when the mother In her
