The assertion of Baron Rothschild OF
his belief in the sound value of Ameri-
can securities and his statements as to
the large investments in these securi-
ties now being made by English CAPT
talists, are naturally pleasing reading,
although Lord Rothschild's view that
the recent shrinkage of prices here was
caused by the sales of stocks made by
American capitalists in order to pro-
vide capital for their construction of
London street railways and their en-
trance upon similar enterprises abroad
is regarded as a curious instance OF
financial jealousy.

APPENDICITIS DINNER.

Novel dinners have been numerous
this season, but none quite 50 unusaul
as the appendicitis dinner given tAe
other night by Miss Emily Isogen3tirn
at san Francisco, says the New York
Herald.
All those invited had been operated
upon for appendicitis, but no hint was
dropped beforehand that this fact had
aught to do with the assembly. Not
until they entered the dining did
the guests become aware of the partic-
ular tie that made them all akin.
The table was decorated with a sug-
gostion of the experience which had
been the lot Of all present to undergo
at some time. Upon a miniature
equipped operating table, which held
the center of the board, lay a blond
haired doll, sheet eushrouded. All the
appliances for an operation for appen-
dicitis We're ut her side. With his little
wax hand upon her little wax pulse
stood a doll in the white cap and uni
form of a surgeon. Near by was a
small stand. on which We're placed cot
ton, rubber rings and all manne OF
surgical Instruments. Little rubber
tubes ran to the chandelier, where were
fastened hot water bags scarcely an
inch in length.
When the recent victims OF appeudi-
citis were seated. there was much mer-
riment, mingled with amused exclama-
tiOng. Then fine score OF quests can
graduated one another.

The French ministry Of marine has
just announced that the construction
Of a ~submersible Qarge submarine
boat. the dimensions Of which will
surpass those of all the submarines
which have peer turned out or are be
ing built Ia France, will be begun this
year. says the New York Times.
Hitherto the largest submarine, the
Gustaye Zede, had u displacement of
2G8 tons, but that of the new boat will
exceed 3JO tons when 1t Is under the
water. 1t is to be 70 meters in length,
4 10 meters in breadth, and its draft
Of water will be about %, meters. The
craft VIII be provided with a single
screw, and it is expected to sail on the
surface of the sea at the rate Of eleven
knots. Ii is to have four torpedo tubes,
and the cost of its construction Is esti-
mated ut $230,0OO. or onc-third more
than the price of the most expensive
submarine hitherto built.
1t IS added that the problem of craft
of this category is now definitely
solved, The submarine is only to be
regarded as purely defensive. whereas
the submersible which is about to be
constructed VIII, it Is thought, be able
to attempt an attack on the enemy's
ports and also to cruise along the COM
mercinl routes. It IS expected that it
will be completed in about two years.

shown you that it Is also the cheapest.
Ii all men would learn this, they'd save
a lot Of money.
Devoe Lead and Zinc costs a little

cheapest paint in the world.

thinking from experience with mixed
paints, that 1t would require that
amount to cover my house. L used

used six.
Our agent at Morrisville, N. Y, Mr..
Il. N. Dexter, writes,

THE SHERIFF'S RIDE.

83333 83@a33:38

Communicated.
The other night about 8 o'clock,
Sheriff Duckett went to put his prison
ers under lock;
He thought them all in, but this was
not so,
For one vas hid behind a cell door.
Walter Lowe was the negro who hid
himself thus,
And was recently arrested for raising
a fuss;
Not only a fuss, but a riot instead.
In which one mean negro was shot
quite dead.
Now, Lowe was a negro of many plans,
And hadn't been long in the sheriff's
hands.
So when the sheriff looked around and
could see no more,
Lowe made a break right straight for
the door;
Not waiting to get on the prisoners
track,
Instead u sheriff leaped right on his
back.
The sheriff rode well, there's no doubt
of that,
But he looked very comical on that me-
gro's back.
He rode without saddle, bride or rein,
And for this very reason he caused
Lowe some pain;
For not being able to stop nor to guide,
He struck, not the door, but its side.
AS the sheriff was riding and free from
harm,
Lowe struck the door casing and
broke his right arm.
The sheriff rode we'll and without any
fears--.
In fact, rode the negro down q steep
flight of stairs.
They st"nck The ground with q fippity.
Hop
With the negro still running and the
sheriff on top;
When the negro with all OF his energy
spent,
Lowe gave up and to his cell was
sent
While the sheriff turned round and
said with q sigh,
1 believe I'll go In and put on a shirt
that is dry.
Now sheriff take warning when pri-
soners skeedaddle,
If you wan to ride one OF them why
put on a saddle,
And put on a bride as we'll as a rein
As you may by this save trouble and
pain.
There's e very old saying: There are
none to compete,
With a mule with his hind legs or a
negro with his feet;
But this we will add: That no sheriff
compares
With our sheriff in riding @ q down
stairs.
GOOD luck to you sheriff, we know
you're the man.
To hold to a prisoner IL anyone can.
We wish you success, to see you grow
bigger
But get a good horse and don't ride a
niger. T..
