Queen Alexandra. The description of the great
golden galleys pulled by eighty boatmen IN
scarlet and gold. carrying the King. his suite
and Ministers to meet the royal guest. reads

The Kossuth party after the end of the pres

task to restrain itself. For that and many
other reasons 1t is to be hoped that Francis
Joseph may be able to retain his vigor for many
season to come. He has lost his wife by as
sassination, and his son and heir is supposed to
have put himself to death. He has gone
through SORROWS of the most grievous sort and
the prospects of peace and calm in his declining
years do not appear bright. But he bears all
manfully. as becomes one of the most valuable
lives in Europe.

BRIMFIELD.

George W. Sherman was in the
district court at Palmer April IS,
charged with an assault upon Mrs
Sarah A. Morgan. The complainant
and defendant both testified, and told
much the same story of what had oc-
CURED. The evidence indicated that
on March % there was a grange meet
ing in Brimfeld, at which Mr.. Sher-
man presided. It had been intended
to take steps to organize a woman g
degree team. Just before adjourn
ment Mr.. Sherman announced that,
owing to the absence of his wife, the
matter could not he acted upon at
that time. After adjournment Mrs.
Morgan approached Mr.. Sherman and
askeH why the business could not be
done at that time. She and others
had ridden considerable distance to
be present, and did not like the de-
lay. Mr.. Sherman replied that Mrs.
Sherman had all the papers relating
to the work, and without them it was
impossible to go on. Mrs. Morgan
expressed her opinion in language
which led Mr.. Sherman to reply that
she could insult him, but not his
wife in the latter's absence. Mrs.
Morgan says Mr.. Sherman talked in
a loud voice, and, as he approached
her, she retreated toward the altar
in the center of the hall. AS she
reached it, her hand fell upon the
gavel, which she raised. Mr.. Sher-
man made a motion which knocked
the gavel under the piano, and Mrs.
Morgan's hand was thrown against
her face. Her husband appeared at
this time, and the matter ended. Mr..
Sherman was found guilty and fined
$5. A notice of appeal was given,
and sureties we're furnished in the
sum of 500.

'Man's low temperature" the doctor
went on, sis responsible fo1~more than

antmals-that is so say, when you
are in a high fever, with a tempera-
ture Of 1O2, you are at the normal heat

so on. In the coolest Of seas the pOr-
poise is never cooler than 100 degrees.

The Old Japaneae Mail.

In the days before the ports Of ia
pan were opened to foreigners, before
telegraphs, railroads and electricity
had found their way into the island
empire, the infrequent mails were car
ried by post runners, who wore the
merest apology of a loin cloth and blue
and white rags around their heads.
They wore for the most part an elab-
crate suit Of tattoo, with a red star on
each shoulder, the mark Of their call
Ing. The letters were incased in a
waterproof package and secured to the
end of bamboo pole. With this over
his shoulder and pair of fragile san
dals on his feet the runner started on
his long journey, making from rs to
100 miles per day. The distance they
covered seems incredible, but the men
were trained to speed and had remark
able endurance.

An Incident In Which Miss Anna
Dickinson Figured.
Miss Anna Dickinson travelled every
where independently and saw human
nature in all of it's lairs. Writing to a
woman friend once, she described a re-
ception given by wealthy Cinnamon in
Francisco, and she was the guest of
honor. She said that she saw serv-
ant coming toward her with a box di-
vtded into many compartments, with
different kinds of nuts and candies in
the smaller trays. She picked out half
a dozen or more and laid them on the
arm of the chair, which served as a ta-
BILE. AS the attendant passed on to
others she saw that each took only one
bonbon, and she was much embar-
raSSed.
But when the servant approached the
chief Chinaman, the one who had orig
mated the reception, he took a large
handful, and those after him did the
same, and then Miss Dickinson felt re-
lieVed. She wrote:

some young negroes who had been to
college and whose orthodoxy had been
slightly warped. One Of them arose
and said, "Why, parson, that can't be
possible, cause the biographies tell us
that water don't freeze at the equator"

"It Is considered an insult and ex-

symbolizing a heart between two
guardians of purity. This is somewhat
going out of fashion under English in
fluence. The Somaji ladies and To-

but every orthodox Hindoo woman
has her pax chabi, or nose key as 1t
is also called, usually two, one of pre-

is slipped in just as the great circle Is
being drawn out, for the nose must

What Won the Girl.

It was in q subway train. On the
lap of a woman, apparently her moth
er, sat a girl Of some eighteen months
Next to them was another mother with
her two-year-old son. Each woman
petted the others child, and the boy
liked the attention and laughed and
pranced. The girl maintained a
straight face. She did not fret, nor
apparently did she want to cry, but If
the word can be used In the case Of
one so young she was bored. The
petting of her own mother and Of the
other woman clearly had no effect.
Then the little boy entered the lists.
Edging up to the child, he put his arms
around her neck and said, II love 'oo!''
Then it was that there broke over the
baby's face the first smile that had ap-
peared since the long subway ride
from Harlem began. And as for the
mothers, the usual and natural COM
ments as to prescience followed.-New

Close to the frontier Of Nepal is the
mountain of Sandook-Phu, which
means in the Tibetan language 1.-The
hill of the poison plant" or aconite.
This plant is so abundant and so dead
ly in it's effects that all sheep and cat
tie passing over the mountain are muz-
zled by their drivers. An English trav-
eler saw at it's foot great heaps Of dis
carded bamboo muzzles. Curiously
enough, only those cattle that are new
Iy imported from the plains are fatally
affected. The natives believe that the
sheep of the district learn to shun the
youngest leaves, which are the most
virulent. A more likely explanation is
that they grow habituated to the drug
by taking it in small quantities.

California Business College in San

more intense energy, and higher
enthusiasm into its teaching; giving
its students more personal and SYM
pathetic attention looking more
carefully after their morals and
physical welfare; and pushing them
more rapidly to the front rank of
the great business colleges of the
country than any other College in
the West. The remarkable success
of this college, having grown from
one student to $50 in six years IS am
pie proof of the truth of the above
rather strong claims made for it.
1t is not the only business college in
San Francisco, but it is the only one
of its kind, and that kind is 80 diff
ferent from, and superior to, the
traditional business college that there
is no comparison. Parents should

SUGAR FACTORY.
Japasese Investigating Propositions Of tstab-
ilshlao One In Nevada.

Mr.. II. Nishryama and K. Nakaha-
ia, two expert Japanese sugar beet
producers, have visited Sparks to
look into the project of a sugar re-
finery tor Nevada. They have been
cultivating about 1000 acres near
Salt Lake, which produce 8 to IL
tons per acre, averaging 10000 tons
or more. 1t takes about five Japs
for each 100 acres and the cost Is SIS
per acre and 81 for seed.
The refinery pays 50, so for ton OF
beets, which produces on an average
of 400 pounds of sugar, worth cents
a pound or $40 a ton. The cost of
beets from an acre, IS tons, $45, and
value of the sugar $3.50. This il
reckoning the percentage OF sugar
in the beets at 20 per cent.
1t will be seen from these figures
that there is an immense profit for
the refinery. 1t is no wonder the
sugar kings rule the world.
1t is to be hoped that the capital to
build refinery, about 100000, may
be raised and one erected at Sparks
or Lovelock.-Silyer State.
If the conditions are not found
favorable in any other part of the
State, we invite the projectors of
the scheme to visit Mason Valley.
