Rhodes and Emperor William.

Cecil Rhodes once was conversing
with Emperor William in regard to an
agreement entered into between the
German government and himself
about the construction of the Cape-to-
Cairo telegraph line through German
territory in Africa. The emperor
said: well, Mr.. Rhodes, l hope you
are satisfied with the arrangement"
NO." replied Rhodes, unless, sir,
you want to see Cecil Rhodes file his

you mean?" asked the kaiser. II
mean,' was the reply, that there is
a clause in this document which pro-
vides that while your majesty under
takes to protect the telegraph against
attacks or injury Cecil Rhodes has to
pay the whole cost incurred in such
defense. Now, sir, there is nothing
in the clause to prevent you from
sending a whole army corps for this
purpose, and if had to pay for that
I should have to file my petition"
The kaiser laughed and said, "Quite
right and turning to Count Won B'l-
low, who was present, said: add
words limiting Mr.. Rhodes liability TO
$4,000. That's fair, I think" To
which Rhodes replied that he was per-
fectly satisfied.

Troubles Of Young Housewives.


A young housewife, from upstate,
who had been recently married, called
upon one of her neighpors in an apart
ment house day or two ago looking
for information, says the New York
Post. She saluted her neighbor with
"How do you kill crabs?" What on
earth are you talking about?" well,
you see, my husband sent home some
crabs for dinner, and he will be home
soon, and. l don't know how to kill
them. have been trying to drown
them for an hour, and they are just as
lively as ever"
Another young married woman
from one of the suburbs of Boston,
came to live in New York. One after
noon she was entertaining two callers
at tea, when the husband of one
dropped in. She knew very we'll that
he did not care for tea, and thought
her husband might not like it if she
did not give him something to drink.
She asked him if he would have some
whisky, and on his replying in the af-
firmative, left the room. After a
somewhat long absence, she returned
with a bottle in each hand, saying:
Il can't find the whisky, but here is
some 'Cog-nac' and some Baltimore
rye. Will either of these do?"

B0lled the Title Market.

In China an official announcement,
recently appeared that after a certain
date the title of mandarin would not
be sold to anyone. The result was that
everyone who had not that title and
who could afford to purchase it made
haste to do so.
Moreover, many others who longed
to be ennobled, but who had not the
money at hand, lost no time in dis
posing of a large portion of their
property and in forwarding the pro-
ceeds to the officials who had been
commissioned by the empress to con-
fer the coveted title on those who were
deserving.
1t is lntimated that since this an
nouncement was made the imperial
treasury has received over $4,000 900
through the sale of titles and that the
total amount which will be obtained
in this way before the time for con-
ferring the titles expires will be he.

any justification of your caring for

muttered with an attempt at ightness;

The man made no answer. Then
suddenly she drew in the horse till
he stumbled back on his launches.

Through the stiffness they could
hear new sound, painfully distinct:
the quick trot of thoofs and the roll of
wheels over distant bridge. They

handed the reins to her companion

waiting room and called the station

"Going away" he asked.

with maddening slowness. She tried
not to snatch it as he held it out.

husband before the train goes? He
can't leave the horse to stand"
"Oh. yes; that's the whistle, but it's

She kept the valise in her hand aud
walked back to the buggy.
