It looks as if couple of Danish
sharpers had sold to Mr.. Richardson
of Tennessee large gold brick lab

Cecil Rhodes will was first made in
1877, when he was young man OF
twenty-four and had not begun to
amass the immense fortune he pos
sessed when he died. The last will
was dated 1899, yet the two are es-
sentially alike.
The steel trust earned last year
gill, 667, 1875, sum larger than the
capital of any other industrial con-
Germ. The corporation makes it's
books public and does not seem to
lose anything by it.
The man that is forced through
fear of fine or Imprisonment to be
kind to his horse and to refrain from
cruelty to all animals, will, from en-
forced habit, be kinder and more hu-
name to his kind. The societies for
the prevention of cruelty to animals
that are spreading all over the world

ant, perhaps, as the amelioration of
the condition of the lower animal
world.
There is expressed in various pa

brick barn while his $4,000 house
was being completed.
The Chinese government has issued
DEGREES giving mining concessions to
foreigners but the tax burdens are SO
great that they practically amount to
prohibitions.
The Captain Christmas story be-
longs to that political species COM
monty designated "a roorback."
A Russian paper has had to sus-
pend publication because it said that
the freeing of the serfs, accomplished
IL years ago, had done less for the
peasants than was hoped for. The
government will not tolerate even
such mild criticism.
Senator Bailey's speech in favor OF
oleomargarine restriction elected the
following from Senator Depew: 81
have never heard an effort in this
chamber which has so affected my
imagination, has SO fired my fancy
and has had so little influence on my
Judgment.
The government has put higher
valuation on gold in the Philippines
than ever before by lowering the ex-
change rate of silver. This was nee
essary because Chinese money chang
ers bought up gold coins and turned
them into bullion at large profit.

The young oyster, according to fish
experts, has only one chance in l, 145,
900 of reaching maturity. He is an
infant Ishmael from the very egg,
