KING BURDENED WITH TITLES
Spanish Boy Monarch Staggers Under
Load OF High-Sounding But
Meaningless Names.

1t is scarcely astonishing that the
king Of Spain is not very robust potent

staggers:
His Most Catholic Majesty, King OF
Spain, CASTLE, Leon, Aragon, the two

Toledo, Valencia, Gallicia, Majorca,
Minorca, Seville, Cardena, Cordova, Co.
ruza, Murcia, Jean, Algarva, Algazera,

Of Burgundy, Brabalt, Milan; Count Of
Hamburg, Flanders, Tyrol, and Bar
celona; Seigneur Of Biscay and Molinar.
The greater part Of these titles are little
more than empty names.

COUNT WORKED AS LABORER.
Swedish Nob1eman in Order to Learn
American Methods Began Career
as q Ditch Digger.

a Indianapolis, Ind, entertains a count
as democratic in his notions as he is
royal in blood.
Count Matte Steirngranat, son Of a
chamberlain to the king of Sweden,
came to learn the methods of construc-
ton of a waterworks system, and went
to work for the Indianapolis Water
company, beginning as laborer in the
ditch He gradually worked his way
up in the business, and now occupies a
responsible position, although when he
began he gave his services gratis.
Not content with the restrictions Of
nobility, Mr.. Stierngranat, as he prefers
to be called, came to America and began
work in his chosen profession. He is
reluctant about speaking concerning his
station in Sweden. When asked he said:
Eyes, am Of the nobility Of Sweden,
but that matters little, for there is just
as much nobility in this country The
title is nothing; everything is the man. y
Count Matte Stierngranat is six feet
tall, Of magnificent build and charming
manners. He abhors newspaper re-
porters, because he does not want to
be considered as different from any 9TH
er American, for American he is now
His friends persist in calling him
Count" in spite Of his wishes.

LIGHTNING'S QUEER PRANK.
Telegraph Lfnenan sustains Shock
and Exhibits Cutic1e with Land
scapc Decoration,

Lightning has painted landscape on
the thigh of Charles Powell, of Green
Vile, Pa.
In his employment as lineman, Pow
ell climbed to the top Of a telegraph
pole, in the midst of a heavy storm the
other night. Lightning struck a pole
some distance away, and the current
transmitted by the wire knocked the
man from his lofty perch.
Powell's burns were many, but one on
the thigh was so painful that he decided
to go to physician. AS he barred the
skin it was found the electricity had
printed upon his cuticle a very natural
and striking view of the spot where
Powell was hurt
The upper part of the pole, with its
yard-arms, stood out in bold relief,
while in the background were other
poles, as we'll as trees and shrubbery.
The physician says the photograph is
likely to prove indelible.

PLUCK OF A BOY.
in Mfdair for Two Miles BE-
fore Train Is stopped.

A remarkable instance of pure pluck
on the part of a 14-year-old boy was
exhibited between Washington, N. j.,
and Hackettstown, on the main line of
the Lackawanna road, recently. Henry
-Dougherty, of Oxford Furnace, an un-
ruly youngster, stole ride as far as
Hackettstown, where a brakeman put
him off,
He awaited an opportunity for re-
turning in the same manner, and at
tempted to jump freight as it passed
the Hackettstown station at speed
of 80 miles an hour He grasped the
vertical hanGrail near the rear end of
car, and, missing his expected foot
hold on the step, swung around from
the momentum of the train until his
body was nearly parallel with the car
to which he hung with a deathlike
grip, humping 1t as it swayed from side
to side.
This hazardous position the boy
maintained for fully two miles, until
the train passed gang of men near
Rockport, two miles from Hacketts-
town. The men shouted at the train
crew and signaled for quick stop, but
before the heavy train could be stopped
the exhausted boy let go and fell.

VILLAGERS UNDER ODD BAN.
Residents of New Hampshire Temper

to Quench Their Thirst.

| 1t is an easy thing to get drink at
the solitary bar in Hillsboro, N. Y. if
the buyer lives there. But if he hals
from Antrim, town of 700, four msles
away, he will find the purchase OF al
coholic beverages matter requiring
considerable strategy, If not actually
impossible.
The only bar in Hillsboro is at the
hotel. 1t is the only place near Antrim
where liquor can be had. Its owner has
been served by Former Gov. D. H. Good
edd with list Of those interdicted.
which contains the name of every
male resident of Antrim more than
81 years old, 400 in all.
Even Mr.. Goodell's own name and
those of his sons appear in the column
Mr.. Goodell defeated the granting Of
a license in his own town, and is de-
termined that none of his fellow towns
men shall procure drink elsewhere.
/ Mr.. Goodell served the notice on the
hotel proprietor under authority which
| he claims exists in section Is of the Ii
cense law, which reads:
mo person shall sell, deliver or give
away, or cause or permit or procure to
be sold, delivered or given away, any
liquor to any person where notice in
writing has been given forbidding sale
to such person from the parent, guard
ian, husband or wife of such parent, or
by any magistrate or overseer of the
poor of town or city, or by any prose-
cutting attorney, or by any county COM
missioner or by selectman."
In the warning Mr.. Goodell describes
himself as a magistrate. The ex-gov-
ernor signed his name, beneath which
he placed the title Justice of the
peace"
The hotel people are refusing to serve
anybody from Antrim.

AMERICAN SHOES FOR EUROPE.
Increased During Last
Decade.

The rapid and remarkable growth of
our exports of iron and steel manufac-
lures has so overshadowed other phases
of our foreign trade as to give the i'm
preston that our sales of other COM
modities are of no Importance.
1t is only recently that public atten-
ton has been called to the sudden and
enormous growth of our boot and shoe
exports. Twenty years ago we were not
making boots and shoes for Euro
peans. The domestic demand was such
that no one seriously entertained the
thought of trying to displace the Eng
lish and German footwear in European
and Asiatic markets. Now we are not
only displacing this product in many
markets but we are shoeing the Germans
and English themselves. With an ex-
port trade Of over 100000 pairs in the
fiscal year of 1903, Americans may rea-
sonably contemplate the possibility of
an industry that may be in time devoted
exclusively to the manufacture of boots
and shoes for the foreign market.
The figures of growth of exports of
UOOlS SuOSS III 1Sl Jul ms thO
past decade are particularly striking. In
the fiscal year of 1903 our exports to
Germany had increased to 1S9, 1913 pairs,
valued at 1897 ,O93.
1t should be noted in this connection
that up to this time very little effort
has been made by American manufac-
turers to adapt their product to local
ideas and tastes in Germany or the
United Kingdom. The shoes that are
sent to these countries are for the most
part American Shoes" When Amer
lean manufacturers turn their attention
more seriously to the problem of meet
ing the local demand in the various for
eign markets they should make even
better progress than they have in the
past.

DIET MEASURES PROSPERITY.
Bills and It's COmmerce-Unfted
States a Heavy Consumer.

Statistics have been collected to show
that the measure of the prosperity of a
country is the amount of food consumed
by its inhabitants-in other words, that
diet and commerce go hand in hand
The countries which consume the larg-
est amount of food and drink per capita
are the countries which have the larg-
est surplus for export to other lands;
the countries which are abstemious or
moderate in their consumption of food
and drink have little surplus to send
away.
The average cost of food per capita
in the United States is 60 cents day;
the United States stands at the head
of exporting countries with an average
of 81 $50 100000 in year.
The average consumption of food and
drink in England is so cents per capita,
and England stands second on the list
Of exporting countries Germany is
the third with an export trade of more
than $1,000,000,000 and As cents a day
the average per capita spent for food
and drink (beer included).
France has an export trade of $780,
900 900 year and the average expense
to each inhabitant for food and drink
Is 40 cents a day. Russia, with an ex-
port trade of $375,0OO,OOO, expends 20
cents day on food and drink per cap
ita, and Italy with $275, 100000 of an
nual exports, spends Is cents day, in
macaroni, wine and other articles of
diet.
All of which convinces statisticians
who have unearthed this notion of the
relation Of productiveness to diet that
"three meals day for each inhabitant'
ia the open door to world power in COM
merce, manufactures and the surplus
products of fertile soil.

SPARKS FROM CATS FUR.
Animals Being Asphyxiated Mako
Electricity and Ignite Gas Meant
for Their Destruction.

"Can electric sparks from cats
fur blow up gas tank?" is question
presented by an explosion in New York
city the other day in the cat and dog
dispatch" in the shelter of the Soci-
ETY. for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
The dispatch" which is a steel cage
charged with gas from the street main,
contained ten or II cats that had been
thrown in it to be asphyxiated, when 1t
blew up as employees were dumping an
other basketful of cats into it.
Three men were hurt, one, Theodore
Goodenough, perhaps fatally, and all
the cats were killed more or less sum-
marily.
- Goodenough dumped three baskets
full of, cats into the dispatch while
companions held one Of the covers up
by means of a tackle attached to the
glass lid. The cats in these baskets
were well behaved, but basket No. 4
contained black cat. AS soon as this
animal was dropped there was flash
and bang, and shower Of cats and
men.
Goodenough and his companions
were found stretched out on the floor
in litter of fragmentary cats.
The ceiling of the room in which the
dispatch" was, was torn open for sew
eral feet and frescoed with cats. The
horses ran away with the cat wagon,
the cats in the baskets remaining in
the wagon yowled and fought, and 80
dogs in the shelter" raised howl
that could be heard for block.
The only explanation offered is the
suggestion that the cats, in rubbing
each other when they were being
dumped into the dispatch" emitted
electric sparks of sufficient intensity to
ignite the gas.

FETCH DOCTORS ON CONGO.
Tho Men who Have Recently Stirred
Up a Revolt In the African
Free State.

A recent dispatch from London says
trict Of the Congo State, about 900 miles
from the Atlantic, have stirred up many
natives to revolt, fortifying their cour-
age to this point by incantations which
will render them invulnerable to the bull
lets of the whites.
Fetichism is recognized as an impede
nent to progress on the Congo. Just
as the Congo State has made the crimes
of slave raiding, cannibalism and hui
man sacifices punishable with death. so
1t has placed the arts Of the fetch doc
tor on the list of misdemeanors, and
Furnishes these men when they are
caught plying their trade.
These fellows live by their wits. They
keep alive faith in the efficacy OF
charms, belief in witchcraft and many
other harmful superstitions. Any one
is likely to be accused of being a witch
II he happens to have property that is
coveted by the chief or the fetch doctor
or has incurred the hatred of some one
whom the fetch man desires to please.
The natives believe that the person thus
accused is wizard, and when he takes
the poison test, and staggers and falls
under the influence of the drug, his gilt
is considered as established, and the by
ISLANDERS rush at him and beat him to
death.
DR.. Bentley, Of the Baptist missions,
wrote while ago that many hundreds
Of terrible stories of this kind with much
variety of detail might easily be col
leeted. He told Of case on the low Con-
so where Is men were compelled to suf-
fer death because a fetch doctor &C
cused them Of causing the death Of six
men who had been drowned by the up
setting of their canoe.
AS fast as the influence of the Congo
State is extended over its vast domain
the authorities are making much trouble
for the fetch doctor by diminishing his
prestige and Furnishing him for prac-
Using his art So he regards white men
as his special enemies and, If possible.
