Republican Rakec6 From Panama.

When the inside history of the seces-
sion of Panama is given to the world 1t

pant of the White House, who, they
claim, had no knowledge of the con-
spiracy that Matched a rebellion to or

"One of the sensational charges Sen
ator German is prepared to make here
after is that coterie Of New York
men subscribed war fund to the
Panama revolutionists amounting to
100000 with the understanding that
they would be repaid tenfold from the
100000 Panama expected to receive
and the $4OOO0.OOO which ostensibly
will be appropriated for the French
company. Senator German is said to
know the names Of the men who ad-
vanced this money.
He will charge in connection with
this disclosure that the fund was SUBJ
scribed only after definite and positive
assurances We're conveyed to the SUBJ
scribers by responsible persons con-
nected with the administration that
substantial aid would be extended to
the revolutionists and the republic of
Panama would not only be recognized
by this government. but that its indie
pendence would be guaranteed as well.

A London paper relates that an en-

land and decided to open shop in
birmingham. He obtained premises
next door to q man who also kept a
shop of the same description, but was
not very pushing in his business meth
ods. The methods of the Yankee how
ever. caused the older trader to wake
up, and with the spirit of originality
strong upon him he affixed notice
over his shop with the words, "Estab-
llshed fifty years" painted in large
letters. Next day the Yankee replied
to this with a notice over his store to
this effect: Established yesterday

THE ALBATROSS.
Curious and Elaborate Dances In
Which 1t Participates.

1t is well known that many of the
cranes and other long legged wadin2
birds indulge in curious antics that
partake closely of the nature of the
human dance. but it is not known to
many persons that the albatross has
the most elaborate and ceremonious
dance of them all.
Only very few have ever seen the al
batross on land probably nine persons
out of ten Who have seen the woudcr-
full birds at all have observed them
only on the ocean
One of the nesting places of this
great winged creature is the island of
Laysan. in the Pacific ocean. and there
at times the ground is absolutely coy.
cred With their nests. 1t is on Laysar,
that the albatross dance was first seen
by a lucky scientist.
The ceremony begins when a lot of
the birds are grouped in a circle. Two
will advance toward each other, bend
ing and noddng their heads in exact
imitation of the human bow Then
they spar With their bills, crossing
them gently and still making funny
little bows. Then one bird will lower
its head and stand quite still in that
pose. while the other throws its head
back till the bill points straight into
the air. 1t pulfs out its breast and ad-
vanccs with a queer. fantastic strut.
uttering a curious grunt The other
bird begins to snap its bill till it pro
duces the sound of caStanets
So the two will alternate advancing
and retreating and bowling to each 9th.
er by turns. Sometimes one will pick
up a bit of grass or Il feather and offer
it to the other. Then second couple
will join the dance. and at last as many
as forty of the huge birds may be en-
gagged in the queer pastime.

Iicorice was once highly esteemed
incidentally, and its cultivation in Eng
land began early in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. 1t was thought a sovereign
remedy for coughs and at one time was
very profitable crop. Its name comes
from two Greek words signifying
"sweet root" The root was first i'm
ported from Spain. The extract OF
Hcorce is still used in candy and lozen-

in d straight stretch Of the canal three
posts We're driven until their tops We're
precisely six feet above the surface Of

of the center post was found to be
some distance above a line drawn from
top to top of the first and last posts
The experiments We're repeated a
