A blue book just issued makes an in-
 teresting statement of the naval expen-
 allure and mercantile marine of the
 nations. The naval expenditure of the
 United States in 1sO2-os is put at $S1,-
 O19,5SO, and her mercantile marine en-
 gagged in oversea traffic at SS2,555 tons.
 Russia spends s52,oOO,O0O on her navy
 and has an oversea tonnage of 664.203
 tons. Germany spends s50.OOO,0oO annu-
 ally on her seagoing naval force, and
 her tonnage engaged in oversea traffic
 is 2,O9S.0SS tons. Frances navy costs
 her s62,000,O00 yearly, and her mercan- tile marine has 1,217,6 tons. Japan, which now attracts much attention, spends yearly on her navy $14,500,0O0. and her mercantile marine has ton- mage of 917.S79 tons. The figures here given in each case look small, however, in comparison with those of the United Kingdom, which spends annually on it's navy $175,OO0,O0 and has to protect a mercantile marine of 10.o54,77O tons. In addition India spends s2,32O,465 yearly on navy. Of the colonies Australia contributes yearly to the British navy s74S, ,1O5, New Zealand $1O7615, Cape Colony sl5o,oOo, Newfoundland s1,655, Natal ssO.Ooo Canada does nothing for the British navy.

fortunate death of your mother, which is the cause of me taking my own life. It would drive me crazy to think that I had killed a human being. What an awful endl That it would come to this I never thought. Now you have to help yourselves. Don't be discouraged, I beg of you. Let Joseph be guardian of Charlie and Mary. but be just to them. Bury us together. The unfor- tunate accident sent us both to our grave. I did it to myself. The devil himself must have sent the cottontail so near the house.
 This was certainly strange event. But there are many strange things in Kansas.

MR. PRIxCE,s PLAN.

Representative Prince of Illinois has introduced a bill which he thinks will cure the evils resulting from redund- ancy of money in the treasury. He proposes to have the secretary author ized to invest surplus funds in State. lefty. and county bonds, buying and sell ling them much as would an individual, according to the needs of the treasury. He recites in his first whereas the dates at Which the various forms of i the Government debt may be discharg- ed, showing that no great reduction of the debt is possible, except by paying market prices for the bonds. He next shows that the balance in the treas ury is about $220,0O0000, of which nearly $170,O00,O00 is in national bank
 Repositories, drawing no interest. The
 secretary of the treasury holds as se-
 curity various bonds deemed by him sufficient. MT. Prince accordingly pro- poses that instead of lending this enor-
 nous sum without interest, the govern
 ment invest it's money in virtually the
 same class of securities. under certain Limitations. He prescribes the condi-
 tions under which municipal and State
 bonds should be accepted and also pro- lvides that in case of shrinking reve- nues the government may sell out it's
 bonds at the rate of $10,000,00 a month lat public sale to the highest bidder.
 l In objection to this plan it is pointed out that as things go the government would have to pay a high price for l these securities and would have to sell at low price. It is also pointed out
 that if States. cities and counties could lsell their securities to the government they might want to make and sell more than they ought to. Both these | objections appear to be well-founded.

THE GREAT POTATO LAND.

Germany Leads the World in the Pro-
 duction of This Tuber.
 The annual crop of the potato in Ger many is colossal, and far exceeds that of any other country in the world
 Last year. for example. the area un- der potatoes was S,907,465 acres, while our crop occupied 2.ss5, 5S7 acres. The German acreage was thus more than three times as great as that of the United States.
 The yield in Germany was 1,59S, ,621, ,076 bushels. Germany. therefore, raised more than five times the quantity of potatoes that we produced A very large part of the great northern plain of Germany is covered with potato fields.
 Last year Germany raised 2S.27 bush els of potatoes for every man, woman and child in the empire. The percapita production in our country was 3.73 bushels
 These figures are approximately cor rect. though not exactly accurate, be- cause they are based upon the popula- ton of both countries at the time of taking the last census: but they show the enormous difference between the per capita production in the two coun- tries.
 The Germans export comparatively few potatoes, and they cannot begin to eat what they produce. They have ways, however, of disposing of their po- tatoes that have not yet been adopted to any large extent in ether countries.

4 KANSAS TR1GEDY.

Kansas again comes to the front. It
 was recently related in a brief news
 item that Frank Novotny, a prosperous
 farmer of Rocks county, had killed his
 wife and then committed suicide. The
 item stated that the killing was acci-
 dental, and that MT. Novotny then took
 his own life while in frenzy of grief
 and remorse, but it was generally re-
 garded as an effort by the family to
 cover up the crime of murder. But now comes the coroner's jury with a verdict setting forth that the killing of
 Mrs. Novotny was wholly accidental
 All the testimony tended to that con- clusion, and besides, MT. Novotny left by the side of his body letter in which he told all about it. In the annals of tragedy there is perhaps nothing more curious than this letter, which is as follows: "The unhappy cottontail caus- ed the death of both of us. I wanted to shoot him from the room and looked
 at the rife to see if it was loaded, and it was. The cartridge dropped down, and, the hammer not being cooked, the load went off and hit my wife, just where I do not know. When I saw what I had done did the same to my self. I write this so that suspicion would not fall on anyone Such fate as this I never expected, Forgive me, dear children. for causing such an un-

It is reported from Johannesburg that new and unexpected source of wealth has been discovered in the ter ritory of the late Boer Republic. Near the eastern border of the Transvaal, on the ledge of the lofty South African plateau three valuable lodes of tin ore have been found, and the deposits are apparently so extensive that predictions are heard that the new colony may prove to be as rich in tin and copper as it is already known to be in gold.

It is related that this is the way a Benton county (Kansas) man confessed at a revival: He had been pressed to repent, and finally got up and said: Dear friends, I feel the spirit moving in me to talk and tell what bad man have been, bull can't do it while the grand jury is in session.

There has just died at Berne, at the age of sixty-five, one of the last de- scendants of Haller, the great Swiss linguist and botanist. He was himself asIistorian of mark in the republic, and his history of Berne is one of the most authoritative works dealing with the city. His name was Berchtold Haller. and, besides being lifelong bachelor, he was unusually short of stature. His dir1inutive height once placed him at an amusing disadvantage in passage of arms with Frenchnlan with whom discussion was becoming warm. T am descendant of the great Haller,'' said the Swiss. 'Ah, a case of really long, long descent sneered the adversary. xeyeing down the little man, who quite collapsed.

In a, contribution to the Independent Dr. Herran tells our exporters that handsomely illustrated catalogues will not suffice to get them the trade they want in Colombia and South America. Also that it isn't wise to send drum mers down there who have no letters of introduction and can speak no word of Spanish or of French. A Colombian merchant sees in an American cata- logue picture of a machine, or other article which he wants. What does he do? He cuts it out of the catalogue with description says Dr. Herran, "pastes it on a sheet of paper and sends 1t to Germany. If the Germans do not have it they will make one like it and fill the order."

Eating llorsefesh by the poor in Paris is increasing to such an extent that the abattoirs will have to be enlarged. The present consumption is s0,OOO horses a year. The horse meat is somewhat darker and stronger than beef, but it is not unpaIatabIe. It has grown in pop uIarity since the siege. The flesh of the horse and the ass is about half the price of beef, but the former is becom- ing dearer. Used-up horses that have worked for eight or ten years in the city are purchased for $50, put out to graze for a few weeks and are then led to the slaughterhouse. In some departments, such as the Nord. there is a scarcity of horses for farm work.

London's campaign against the dock rats has progressed satisfactorily. Ac- cording to the official reports of the rat killers, over five thousand of the TO- dents have been killed every month of the past year. Since the bubonic plague scare reused the authorities to action, not less than two hundred and fifty thousand rats have been killed. The gain has been great, not only from the health point of view, but in the saving of property. The destructive capacity of the London wharf rat is very large.
