New Cigarette Paper.

Rofia, raffia, or raphia fiber, one of
the vegetable products peculiar to
Madagascar, is now being used for
cigarette paper, and samples have
been placed in the Commercial Mu-
scum at Tananarivo. Mr.. William H.
Hunt, United States Consul at Tama-
tave, says in regard to them: "The
paper presents the qualities of decid-
ed suppleness and strength, and, as
the fiber from the start is tasteless,
inodorous an dexceedingly clean, it
certainly recommends itself to the
most fastidious." The Consul also
points out that this fiber can be used
for other purposes, and that therefore
it will be well worth while for manu-
facturers to experiment with it.

DociIity of ToIstoy.

Tolstoy is a truly great man, as
men go, and it does not lessen the
esteem in which he is universally re-
garded to learn from Nine. Benton
that he is no longer adverse to the
counsels of his wife, but "eats and
drinks exactly what she gives him,
with the docility of child" This
completely disposes of the theory
that Tolstoy is the arbiter of his own
fortunes, and establishes the fact
that when it comes down to a matter
of household discipline he is as
powerless and inoffensive as the rest
Of us. 1t is a beautiful thing not
merely to eat and drink whatever
may be provided in the lady's good
judgment, but to be docile as well.
Docility is an excellent trait in hus-
bands and other lower animals.-Ros-
well Field in Chicago Evening Post.

WOMAN A CRACK RIFLE SHOT.
Young Canadian Carries Off Prizes at
Shooters Meet.

Over in Canada, in a picturesque
little town called Dundas, lives a
young woman, Miss Bibby by name.
who is one of the crack rifle shots of
the Dominion. She is a slender little
creature, but she is nerveless and
strong-armed, and has been addicted
to shooting ever since she was little
girl; and, by the way, that's not SO
long ago, either. Miss Bibby uses the
regulation Lee-Enfield rifle of the
British army and the Canadian militia,
and she has been admitted to mem
bership in the Ontario Rifle associa-
ton, an organization of the cream of
the rifle shooting militiamen and rifle
clubs, and she holds her own with the
best of them. She is not a Canadian
type, for there are very few of the
women of the Dominion who take to
rife shooting as an accomplishment,
but she has achieved some fame for
herself and her town. Recently, at
the annual matches of the Ontario
Rifle association, held in Toronto, she
won considerable prize money and de-
feated some of the crack shots of the
province.

HARSH LAWS IN FRANCE.
Manufacturer and Workmen Not on
Footing of Equality.


Under a French law still in force
the communication by a factory
workman, clerk or manager of a
trade secret to a foreigner, or to a
Frenchman resident abroad, is pun
ishable with a term OF Imprisonment
ranging from two to five years and
with a fine ranging from 5000 to
10000 francs. The culprit is, more
over, deprived of his civil rights and
kept uuder police surveillance for a
period of from five to ten years after
his release from prison. A similar
communication made to Frenchman
resident in France is less heavily
punished, the term of Imprisonment
varying in this case from three
months to two years and the fine
from fifteen to 200 francs. In the case
of a state arms or ammunition fac
tory the maximum penalty must be
imposed. 1t appears, further, that in
France the proprietor of factory
has a right, without reserve, to the
discoveries and inventions made
within his field of work by any of his
employees.

Queensland Jewel Mines,

The sapphires are blue, yellow and
green, of numerous tints and shades,
the green and yellow being the most
beautiful. The yellow stones are
rare, and the blue are of so dark a
shade as to apear almost black, and
cannot compare with the brilliantly
tinted stones of Siam, Burmah, or
Ceylon. Green stones are found in
abundance, and their frequently great
beauty has created a growing demand
for them. Among other stones found
is the hyacinth, which, when cut
forms richly-colored gem of a deep
blood-red color, and the Oriental cats
eye. The sapphire deposits are also
diamentiferous.

ALL THE WORLD AKIN.
Very Easy Matter to Prove Common
Relationship.

If we accept the old adage that zig
ures won't lie," as true one here is
a plausible way of proving that all the
people in the world are akin to each
other.
A man has two ancestors in the first
generation, his father and his mother.
In the second generation his ancestors
are four, because he had two grand
fathers and two grandmothers. Each
of these four had two parents, there
fore, in the third generation, there
are eight ancestors, that is, eight
great-grandparents
Going on with this calculation, we
find that in the fourth generation
there are sixteen ancestors; in the
fifth generation, thirty5two; in the
sixth, sixty-four; in the seventh, 128.
In the tenth generation there are 1,024
ancestors; in the twentieth, 1,048, ,576 I;
in the thirtieth, 1,073,S34.
And as the entire population Of the
globe is only about 100000, 900, you
see how it is possible to prove a COM
mon relationship.

Some Causes of Cancer.

Recent investigations point to the
conclusion that one of the causes of
cancer is improper food and drink,
says Leslie's Weekly. That cancer
of the lips and mouth are caused by
excessive smoking is now a fact es-
tablished by the case of Gen. Grant
and others, and it has been intimated
that cancer microbes have been found
in certain vile smelling foreign
cheeses, for which some fashionable
people profess to have great liking
So far as the malady is traceable to
causes like these the remedy to be ap-
piled is simple and easy, viz, to smoke
moderately, if at all, and to let all
moldy and decayed articles of food
alone, no matter if gourmets pretend
to like them.

King Dagobert's Throne.

Much has been written about the
antiquity of the throne on which
King Edward of England was crown
ed, but, as French journalists are now
taking pains to point out, it is not
nearly as old as the throne of King
Dagobert, which is still religiously
preserved at the National Library in
Paris. According to the best authori
ties, this throne dates back to the
seventh century, and consequently
it is many years older than the throne
of Edward the Confessor. Moreover,
there is a popular tradition that it
was fashioned by saint who possess
ed much skill in carving and engrav-
ing. However this may be, the
French are very proud of the ancient
relic.

The congregation wanted more land
adjoining the church for improve

essary space, valued at $500, on con-
dition that the church pay him $50
and listen to him ten hours in a pub

and proposes to discuss religion and
morality from his own point of view,

Made a Lot of Trouble.

The late Senator Mcmillan of Mich
igan used to tell with great glee about
green Irishmar employed on his
country place near Detroit.
This man had severe attack of
malarial fever, and the senator told
him he would send him some medi-
cine, which he did-a box of five-grain
capsules of quinine. Upon the occa-
sion of his next visit to the farm the
senator called on Pat and asked if
he received the medicine all right.
yes, SIR" said Pat, "and it cured
me, too, but it was lot of trouble to
dig the medicine out of those little
shells.'

cALvE AND THE DREssMAKERs.
She Once Sang For an Admirine
Audience of Workgirls.

Audience of Workgirls.
A characteristic story is told of
Nine. Calve. Shortly before her last
American tour she paid visit to her
dressmaker in Paris. While she was
discussing her costumes with the
head of the establishment, which is
a very large one, couturiere hesitat-
ingly entered the room and approach
ed her. She came on behalf of her
self and her fellow workers to beg
a great favor. Would Nine. Calve sing
them a song? 1t was much to ask,
but though they worked for her,
hardly any of them had ever had a
chance of hearing her beautiful voice.
At once the great singer consented.
She went into the workroom, and,
having satisfied herself that no un-
authorized persons were present, she
delighted her audience of workgirls
with two exquisite songs. On leaving
she was accorded an ovation which
for heartiness probably rivaled any
which she had received during the
course of her brilliant career.

Labor on Railroad Folders.

The average person who picks up a
railroad time folder does not realize
the amount of work which the prepara-
tion of such a publication involves. A
big western railroad, for instance, has
a general time folder made up from
sixteen different divisions operating
time tables. The folder contains 1000
names of towns, gives the schedules of
over 800 trains and whenever there is
a change in time 60,000 figures have to
be carefully checked and corrected.

Chicago, June 19.-Wednesday beef
prices were the highest in twenty years.
The Hazlett horned Shorthorn cattle,
three cars, sold at SIS.
Charles A. Mallory is back from a
trip to Old Mexico. He says that he
never saw country where the people
ate so much meat and paid so little at
tention to the quality and condition Of
the live stock.
s. Finnell. of Hamburg, Ia. was here
with ten cars of cattle. He says that
crop conditions are fine. In 1895 he paid
GO cents bushel for corn and in 1896
bought corn to feed at 1919 cents a bu-
shell. He says he never expects TO see
corn as cheap as that again.
Referring to the first range cattle of
the season, car load of COWS sent in
from Pierre, S. D., by p. j. Mcclure,
the Dairy Live Stock World said: THE
COWS were IN fair condition and sold at
very good prices. One lot went at $375
and another at $50. They We're sent
in as market feeler and will be fol-
lowed by others at an early date. Last
GEAR the first range cattle arrived on
Aug. s. almost two months later than
this, and at that time the best range
COWS sold at S3.G003.S5. While it is
vet too early to expect the range mar
lket to open permanently, the fact of
these cattle getting here at this time
and the assurance of others to follow
soon is highly commendatory of range
conditions at this time"

The Ouccn Bee

She possesses the power Of choosing
which of her offspring shall be drones
and which workers. Some have
thought that this was automatic and
that the narrower worker cell touched
the button, so to speak, that brought
forth fortified egg. But the queen
will lay worker eggs in drone cells if
she thinks fit, SO that settles that.
If the drone is male and the queen
female, what is the worker? The new
woman of Beedom. She has given up
her motherhood for business career.
Sometimes, though, she lays eggs, but
they always hatch out drones, Of which
it Is strictly true to say they have n
mother, but no father. If the queens
wings are crippled so that she cannot
make her marriage flight, her children
are all drones. An Italian queen in
a hive of black bees will begct work
ers of mixed blood, but her sons are
pure Italians. Drones are useful as
fathers OF workers, but they cannot col
lect the honey they eat. Their tongues
are too short.-Ainslee's.

The old "poesy rings" are a much
sweeter souvenir than more modern
ones. A friend has one which had be-
longed to her great-grandmother, such
a narrow gold circlet. The motto, en-
graved inside in old lettering, was as
follows: God above increase our
love-" The "Claddagh" rings of Ire
land are now very difficult to procure
that is, the genuine specimens, of
course. There are many limitations.
These rings were heirlooms with the
people of the Claddagh, distinct gyp-
sylike race Of fishermen, and were
handed down from mother to daugh-
ter as a wedding ring, marriage be-
ing scarcely considered legal if an or
binary ring were substituted. They
were made of massive gold, decorated
with q heart, bearing q crown sup
ported by two clasped hands, signify
ing loyalty, love, friendship.
