CHANCE TO TIE A KING.
It Ia Only Necessary to Buy One of These Islands and Lord IL
 oyer the People.

Here was great chance for people wishing to become independent landed proprietors. The French government offers fer sale some of the little i"lands situated at the entrance of the bay of St. Malo. on che coast of Brittany.
 Formerly. when the famous French pirates Jacques Cartier and Sourcouf brought down the wrath of the English on their heads by their acts of daring. the victims tried to get near enough to St. Ma!o to throw tirebrands and to dis charge cannon into the town. but they were never able to succeed in passing the islands.
 The French government has taken away the cannon from the fortified walls of Gouchce. La Plata La kon- heress and one or two other of these blocks. The state. which is always short of money. found it a needless ex pense to keep up this property and so offers it for sale.
 The inhabitants of St. Malo are very uneasy and dscontented at the pro- ceeding. And not without cause. for, no restrictions having been put upon the sale. the highest bidder vii! become practically their king. be his national ity what it may.

This Authority Has IL That s"'o3" Miles an Hour Is About Your
 Usual Gait.

Have you ever thought of the distance you travel while you are out for an hours stroll?
 Possibly you walk three miles in an hour. but that does not represent the distance you travel. The earth turns on its axis every 24 hours. In round figures call the earth's circumference 24.000 miles and you must have travelled during your hours stroll thousand miles in the axial turn of the earth. says inc New Yorl; World
 But this is not all. The earth makes a iournev round the sun every wear.

0bservance of Its Rules Calls for . Good Deal of Determination
 of Character.

London contains many societies, from the Christmas Goose club to that for he Worshipers of Omar the Tent maker, but apparently there is another which has hitherto escaped notice, says the London Telegraph. It is called the Lazy society,"" and no doubt, in the metropolis there are many people who are eligible for membership. Idle per sons. however, had better not enroll themselves rashly, or they may find that the rules demand too much deter imitation of character. Absolute lazi
 ness is task in itself, and requires q good deal of living up to, besides in- volving one in unpleasant situations.
 Mir. Reason is one of the members of this curious community, and so in ear nest is he that he informed Mr. Mar sham at Westminster that no punish ment would induce him to break stones or pick oakum. He was charged by the master of the workhouse with refusing to do any work, and he even carried his principles so far as to decline 10 wash or undress himself. He had been pun ished in every possible way (ominous phrase), but all to no account. He re- mained. in spite of all temptation. an obstinate member of the Lazy soci
 ety." The jailer asked the defendant to give some explanation and he answered, with great deliberation, that work was too hard and against his principles. The magistrate decided that he must suffer for his convictions, and sentenced him to 2l days hard labor. The martyr left the dock very quietly and slowly and with beautiful smile on his face.

WAR PENDING IN
CENTRAL AMERICA
Guatemala'S President and
SalvadOr'S Minister at Odds.
LATTER MADE FIERY SPEECH
Went to Rivals Capital and Re-
peated the
Insults.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. May 6.-Ac-
cording to the officers of the steamship
Acapulco. which has arrived from Pan
anna and way ports, there is some pros
pect of early trouble between the repub-
lies of Salvador and Guatemala. The
Ill feeling has been more or less acute
since Guatemala's dignity was hurt at
the Presidential congress. held at Cor
into.
Regaliado, Salvador's minister of war,
who ii is said. is now anxious 10 bring
about war. is the original cause of all
the trouble.
President Cabrera, of Guatemala, was
represented at the Corinto convention
by one Marine. Regaliado was then
President of Salvador and In that ca
pacity was in attendance at the conven-
ton.
He made a speech, so save the tale
told on the Acapulco, in which he de-
nounced Cabrera as a coward. He made
other acutely personal remarks which
so affronted Marine that he strobe from
the convention hall and returned to
Guatemala City.
Regaliado followed, and. forcing his
way into Cabrero's presence, Regaliado
repeated the WarmeSt portions OF his
convention speech. There was no blood
spilled, however. Instead, the executives
discussed the matter over wine.
Regaliado departed, and some weeks
later, so the story runs. Cabrera declared
that his dignity had been insulted. He
demanded reparation. Regaliado refused,
but suggested that Costa Rica be re-
quested TO arbitrate the difficulty.
Regaliado resigned the presidency Of
Salvador I'm favor of Escalon, but as min
lister of war still controls the army. OF
which he is proud, and whose mettle- il
is said, he wants to test against Ca
brero's forces.
