MORE CABLES
ACROSS THE PACIFIC
A PREDICTION THAT ADDITIONAL
LINES WILL SOON BE LAID
ACROSS THE PACIFIC.

The binding together out in the Pa
cific ocean of two strands of cable wire
annihilated the distance between Homo
lulu and the mainland. AS not before
for many years was the relatively of
space demonstrated. A few moments
before the splicing was accomplished
Honolulu was six days from San Fran
cisco as regards the transmission of in
telligence. A moment afterward it
was distant only the fraction of
minute. Thus that connection at Ho-
nolulu is the most important event in
the greater enterprise of laying the
cable all the way from San Francisco
to Manila, for the latter city is now
connected with this country by wire by
way of Europe. Honolulu should have
been thus brought into immediate con-
tact with the mainland long ago. There
was ample reason, commercially and
politically, for such union. Had there
been a cable ten years ago events which
caused much difficulty might have been
prevented and the annexation of the
islands by pacific methods fastened.
Shameful episodes which marked that
stormy period would have been modified
if not prevented had there been a ca
ble The isolation of the islands aided
in the upgrowth of suspicious of the
American purposes which even today
embarrass the efforts to give the group
good government under the American
flag.
This final linking of the islands with
the coast covers practically the last
gap now stretching between the centers
of civilization and the important out
lying regions. 1t is anomalous that
Hawaii, the scene of such remarkable
progress during the past few decades,
should have been the last to be thus
brought into the electric chain, The
physical difficulties have never been
regarded as prohbitive, and the ease
with which the feat has just been ac-
complished proves that as far as the
mechanical elements in the case are
concerned Hawaii might have been
given a cable years ago. But there was
never the existing or prospective bust
ness for the large expenditure and this
government when pressed to aid the
cable enterprise for political reasons,
procrastinated until the war with Spain
opened up a new sphere for its aCtivi-
| ties in the far east and made electric
communication under American aus
pieces a necessity.
The cable to the Philippines will
shorten the time required for the trans
mission of messages to Manila, and will
probably reduce the cost. Further
more, this line will serve as the base
for branches into the great archipelago
giving the United States command of a
| valuable system of communications
| with that part of the world, which some
| observers believe will eventually be the
scene of important political activity.
| While the Pacific will probably never
be crossed by as many cables as the
Atlantic owing to the greater distance
and cost, 1t may not be doubted that a
few years the increase of trade with
the orient will cauoe the laying of ad-
ditional lines, until Asia will be re-
latiVely as closely bound to America as
the latter is now bound to Europe

the meat store with package OF that
have" "Well, it is the worst wurst
edible I'm her hand, Madam" answered
the meat man, 1T Is the best wurst we
ever saw" ~ am sorry to hear that
The best | can do is to try and send you
some better wurst from today's lot, but
as ! said, that was the best wurst we
have at present. / am sure, however,
that the wurst we are now making VIII
not be any worse than this, and IL
ought to be better. l assure you that
as soon as I get the wurst you shall
have the best of IL. We never gave any
one the worst of It so long as we have
been in the wurst business, and you
may be sure that when we give you
your wurst it will be the best for our
worst wurst Is better wurst than the
best wurst of our competitors" But
the lady, whose eyes had taken on a
stare of glassiness, was seen to throw
up her hands and flee from the place,

WILD CATTLE

The largest of the wild cattle of Eu-
rope Called Urus, or sometimes Au-
rochs, a name more often given to the
bison) was described by Caesar as hav-
ing nearly the size of an elephant
and seems to have become extinct be-
tween two and three centuries ago.
1t was probably domesticated by the
Swiss lake dwellers, our modern breeds
of cattle being at least partially de-
scended from it. Its immense size is
evident from a skull in the British mu-
scum, which measures a yard in length,
while the span of the horn covers 80
feet. A horn of this splendid animal is
a unique relic that DR.. Nehring has
just reported from a peat bog in low
err Pomerania.

SHAH OF PERSIA.

1t is not generally known that the
Shah Of Persia has four sons now in
Europe receiving their education. They
are mild and inoffensive, with hardly
enough spirit between them to declare
an opinion, such is their fear of their
royal parent. The latter was not in
favor with his father, Nasser ed Din,
who was assassinated in 1896. Until
his ascension he was governor of a dis
tantp rovince. The princes until re-
Gently were confined in the harem with

High schoo, Notes.
Summary Of reports for 4th month Of

School opens with an increased enroll.
mcnt and a desire expressed by all to
do much better the last half of the year
than was done the first half.
The principal found out by enquiry,
while attending the Educational Asso-
citation at Fargo, that our tardy record is
about as poor as any town of the same
size in the state. One Principal said to
me, "The fault is o so much with the
teacher, or the pupil, but it is with the
pupils parents" do not think the par
ents are entirely to blame, but by the
cooperation of the parents l think u
record can be materially changed.
The following rule has been made as
an incentive to better attendance and
pu~nctuality: "Any room that makes an
average of 90 per cent or better, on at
tendance and has no tardys for four con
secutivc weeks shall have a half holi-
day."
The primary room has a beginning
class ofs24. Miss Feahterstone requests
all parents who have little ones to star
this term, to have them enrolled as soon
as possible. The present class is large
and unless the beginners can all start to-
gether it will just double the work of an
already over-worked teacher.
Miss Thomson of New Rockford be-
gan her work as primary teacher on the
South Side Monday. She takes hold of
the work as an experienced teacher
should. The board has made no mistake
in their selection. r. L. DAVIDSON.

termines IL all. Perhaps the most common
and most prevalent variety, In the past
few years at least. is that about three
tenths OF an inch in width and weighing
six penny weight"
At this point the manufacturer set out
on the counter fifteen or twenty rings,
ranging in width from circle no more
cumbersome than an engagement ring to
the broad. thick band.
''There are your styles" ne said. "They
vary in diameter from half an inch to an
inch, the average being about three
quarters OF an inch"
His interviews did a little figuring on
a pad and announced that $4,000 rings, at
three-quarters of an inch in thickness,
would make about $4,000 inches, or about
81 500 feet IL placed one before the other.
This number of feet divided by $3.50. the
number of feet In n mile, would make the
total string Of rings IL miles, or the dis
tance from the city hall to One Hundred
and Twentieth street in Harlem.
'Do You imagine" the dealer was asked,
that these rings seal 60O,OOO marriage con-
tracts every ycar?"
mo" he replied. "Of late years It has
become the custom. and the custom is
growing. for both parties to marriage TO
wear the ring and this accounts for the
increase in the number made and sold
Probably. out of this GOO,OOO rings sold.
from 1900 to 5000 are worn by men"
do you manufacture engagement
rings?'
The manufacturer smiled.
There is a funny thing about that"
he said. Last year sold 1000 more
engagement rings than wedding rings.

and l suppose my competitors have run
about the same. OF course, that places
the sale of engagement rings far ahead
of the number of wedding rings sold"
How do you account for the difrerence2"
he was asked.
We'll" he said smilngIy, when a man
buys a wedding ring he usually means
business, and when he buys an engagement
ring, well-well-he may mean anything.
And where one man may buy dozen en-
gagement rings. usually one wedding ring
is enough for him. How this overplus

chain pattern. The strips are set on the
tucked yoke that they meet around the
neck. The elbow sleeves pun above full
rufIles of the material. They are orna-
mented with strips of the applique. Scat
tered daisies are set at intervals on the
edge of the ruffles
Daisies, whether OF hand embroidery or
applique, are favorite flowers summer
waists. When they are embroidered in the
natural colors they are extremely pretty.
The desire for drawn work on the sum-
mer blouses has brought about the discov-
cry that Mexican drawn work doilies can
be used as a dress trimming A chain OF
small square doilies can be applied to form
a panel front They are set on diagonally.
Smaller ioilies finish the neck or ornament
the bust line on either side of the front.
Small Mexican drawn work wheels can now
be obtained for dress trimmings. Entire
yokes are made of them. They are often
joined by fancy stitching, thus giving an
even more cobwebby effect.

enough wedding rings to reach.
IL placed before the other,
eS from the city hall along Broadway
to One Hundred and Twentieth street,
a distance OF about IL miles. This is the
estimate of a manufactures interviewed by
the New York Sun.
According to his calculations there nave
been sent out in the past year some 6OGOo
wedding rings. OF these he has manu-
facturei more than 10000 and In their
making he has used an even ton OF pure
gold. The rings sell from 50 to SIS, but
where they all go is a mystery to him
There are only about nve wedding ring
manufacturers in the city" he said, but
these five are kept constantly busy with
orders from all parts of the country, every
month I'm the year
'It seems as II everybody I'm the United
States must have been married and pur-
chased one OF my rings since have been in
business, for l have sold several million.
This is equally trLe of my competitor
across the street and my competitor up the
avenue.
MANY people might suppose that the
SIS ring would be- the one purchased by the
millionaire t. Pre- sent to his bride, and that
the IS ring would be bought by the work
ingman but the case is exactly the reverse.
The workingman seems to want the we'd
ding ring that will cover his wifes entire
hand, while the wcaIthier purchaser wants
a small ring, so as to allow room for a
finger full of diamonds ana other gems.
when you talk about style in wedding
rings you are talking about something
