Drouth in Europe.

This year drouth spread over
all Western Europe. On June Is
it was reported by Our cousnl that
the lack of normal rainfall through
out Germany had become a wide
spread calamity not only to agri-
culture, but to many industries
which were more or less dependent
upon inland water transportation
for their supplies of materials. The
drouth continued practically I'M
broken throughout .Jure and July
until near the middle of August,
when local rains, more or less cop
ious, fell in the northern and central
parts of the empire. In conse-
quence of the drouth in Western
Austria, Bavaria, and Eastern
Switzerland, the government of
Austra-Eungary prohibited the ex-
port of fodder for cattle in the shane
Of clover, hay, oats, or corn, as +he

New Slang Word.

Chefoo has been added to our
vernacular. In the East, when
anybody relates some astounding
tale the cry O. That's a Chefoo!'
greets it. As Chefoo has turned
out some of the most terrific ru-
mors war was ever blest with, it
wouldn't be strange if the name
of the enterprising place was
thus immortalized. So, if YOU
don't care to say to man frank
ly, you're liar, why, just call
him a Chefoo. He will apprc-
ciate it just as well. Besides, it
sounds less rude.

Life of a BattIeship.

A modern battleshin costs prob
ably ten times what Constitution
or Victory cost a century ago, yet
its life of active usefulness, even
barring destruction in sea fight,
is comparatively brief. So rapid
are the advances in the science of
naval architecture and armament
that within ten years of her launch
ing Massachusetts, or an Oregon
has become a relic of the past, and
is doomed to speedy oblivion in the
junk yard.

Unweloome Guests In Japan.

The Japanese have a multitude of
quaint customs, many of which
have common sense as their basis.
When guest has outworn his well
come, the mistress of the house
does not "row outwardly impatient
in his presence, throw out little
hints of what duties will claim her
attention soon; but she prepares
the daintiest luncheon imaginable,
and puts it into the pretticst of box
es, which she wraps in rice paper,
and ties with a ribbon. Then, some
morning when no other members
of the household are present, all
having been warned to keep out
of the way, she puts the lunch box,
with the sweetest of smiles, into
his hands. Before the lunch hour
the guest, if he be wise, has van
isllcd like a morning cloud.

An Unostentatious Emperor.

The Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria is a man of simple, fru-
gal habits, and hard worker. He
is an early riser, and for many
years after ascending the throne
he was up at 5 o'clock in the
morning to begin his days work
after breakfast of coffee and
bread and butter. The amount OF
work he is able to get through is
amazing. For recreation he goes
to one of his shooting boxes for
a few days, wearing the Tyrolese
costume and devoting himself en-
tirclY to the chase.

In the village of Altenburg, on

MONROE TESTlFIEs.
Says Heavy Drain Results Where Rail.
roads Have Certain Traffic.

Chicago. Nov. 16.-In the interstate
commerce commission investigation of
the fight between the Texas Cattle
Raisers' association and the South
western railroads, John A. Monroe,
freight traffic manager of the Union
Pacific, gave interesting testimony.
lie said a heavy drain Is experienced
Where the railroads have to compete
with themselves on different lines OF
traftc. Either corn in the corn belt
must be carried to the cattle or the cat
tie to the corn. The low rates that
have been forced by competition make
1t so much more profitable for the cat
tie men to bring the cattle to the corn
that I'VE find it practically impossible
10 carry much corn west. In this way
we are competing with our own low
rate on cattle"
Joseph w. Maxwell, assistant general
superintendent of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railway. testified regarding
the equipment required on his road and
the expense of handling the live stock
Traffic. "A great deal of our traffic in
this lines is stock. We receive from our
connections, the short lines in Texas"
said the witness. We have to furnish
the equipment for this traffic ourselves
and are at great loss on many ways;
II is always returned empty and the
cars are often delayed at connecting
points for days at time"
