Mixed Metaphor.

A good instance of mixing the meta.
phor is reported of Sir Thomas Myles,
who recently delivered an address on
Cecil Rhodes"
Sir Thomas paid high tribute to the
force of character, the spirit of per.
sonal Independence and the iudomit
able courage of Englishmen. He pic.
tured the British Empire as having
been in danger at the time of the late
war, and asked with emphasis:
WAS England to stand with hel
arms folded and her hands in hel
pocketsT"
When the speaker realized from the
appearance of his audience what ht
had done, he remarked that his only
apology was that he was an Irish
man.

1t cannot he denied that democracy
is gaining ground throughout the
earth, when while the son and the
daughter of the oldest royal house in
Europe are disgraced wanderers, with
none to do them reverence, Il woman
of republican birth, the daughter of a
Chicago dry goods merchant, forms
the center in great pageant in the
famous city of Delhi that beggars
even Oriental splendors of the past.
Important n parsonage in the great
durbar as the viceroy Is, he is still out
shone by his lady, who not SO very
long ago was plain Mary Letter, ex-
traordinary rich, but not particularly
remarkable for accomplishments,
graces or beauty. The people of this
country need not judge the royal per-
sonality through Prince Henry Of
Prussia, the crown princess of Siam
and other royal dignitaries, who visit
this country on dress parades, but we
may judge at closer range through
the women who have gone from
among us into the royal circles. Miss
Letter was worthy girl but there
was never anything observable about
her that should cause the people Of
India to bow down before her in rev.
erence and awe. This country pos
seSses, even in the humber grades of
life, innumerable women of better
qualities than she has ever shown her
self to possess. Thousands of Ameri-
can homes are presided over by no.
bier women than this one whom the
people of India look up to with super
stitious awe. The close exclusiveness
with which reigning royalty hedges
itself about is not without practical
purpose. A close view might pene-
trate the thin veneer of pretense and
sham that makes royalty so awe-in-
spring. If the subjects had opportun-
| ity to see how commonplace and often
degenerate are the little demi-gods
| they set upon pedestals of supersti.
tious reverence, such affairs as the
| great durbar would Immediately
cease. The people of this country have
better opportunities to correctly judge
these royal personages, who by their
shallow pretense of greatness that
they are far from possessing, hold
sway over millions. And the more
Americans know of royalty, the more
respect they feel for themselves,

Prof. Judson the dean of the Chi.

of universal language ought to be

them to get competent agents to rep

IF one man wishes to represent his EN-.

Europeans are, and hence are at dis

ing of Americans a feeling which Eng
lishmen share, that their common Ian
guage ought to be and perhaps will be
the universal language. The men who
use it are fully convinced of its supe'
riority. They admit that English is
not so mellifuous as Italian, and that
in some respects German surpasses it,
but they feel assured that, all things
considered, ii Is the best language man
has devised. 1t is the speech of most
of the people of this continent and OF
the Australians. 1t is to be the DOM

A Cure for Rheumatism.

Alhambra, ILL.,, March 23.-Physi-
clans are much puzzled over the case
of Mr.. f. ]. Oswald of this place. Mr.
Oswald suffered much with Rh5Ima-
tism and was treated by doctor after
doctor with the result that he got no
better whatever They seemed unable
to do anything for him and he contin-
ued to suffer till he heard Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Oswald began a treatment OF
this remedy which very soon did for
him what the doctors had failed to do
and they cannot understand it.
This is the same remedy that cured
Hon. Fred A. Busse, our State Treas
urer, of very severe case of Rheu;na-
tism some years ago and which has
since had an unbroken record of sue
cess in curing all forms of rheumatism
and Kidney Trouble.
There seems to be no case of these
painful diseases that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will not cure promptly and perma-
nently.

ly on the man. There are great
many farms within hundred miles

owner of one farm of eighty acres at

tent. He raises more than twenty
thousand dollars worth of vegetables
every year, at a cost Of about ten
thousand dollars for labor and fertil-

Worked Twenty Years on Model and
Was Found Starving.
NEW YORK, May 5.-Authorities at
Bellevue hospital have patient who
thinks he is the discoverer of perpetual
motion. He is Adolph Schapp, sixty
years old.
The janitress of the house where
Schapp lived told Miss Hopkins of the
Charity Organization society that she
had seen machine which the old man
had been working on for twenty years
and added that she saw it running
around the room that the inventor oc-
cupied.
Thirty years ago Schapp came
here from Austria. After he had been
here seventeen years he got the idea
that he could make a machine that
would "go on forever"
After he had worked on it for five
years Schapp's wife left him. The old
man then took room down town and
in seclusion hammered and tinkered
on the machine that he firmly believes
will revolutioniZe motive power.
The old man had subsisted for three
weeks on crackers and water and
when taken to the hospital was on the
verge of starvation.

merchant, who was shot in the back
and seriously wounded yesterday art

unable to locate it.
'Its hard to say just how serious the
wound is just yet said one of them.
"It may be fatal, but the chances are
in favor of recovery" He rested easily

The shooting was the outcome of
years of infelicity and open warfare in
the courts between Costello and his
wife. The Costellos are well known i'll
exclusive social circles. They have been
separated for several years, during
which time repeated litigation has been
engaged in. Mrs. Costello has made
frequent attempts to gain possession of
her children and, it is alleged, has
more than once tried to kidnap them.

and wealthiest men in Buffalo. He has
made fortune in the lumber business
in Pennsylvania and has extensive cop
per mining interests in the west. He is
also interested in large number of
corporations. He is about ffty-three
years old and has been for some time
past living with his children in the
