CanitaI Social Rivalry.

Mrs. Fairbanks, wife of the vice
president, is planning quite an elab-
crate social campaign, one likely to
make an epoch in the annals of the
capital. Signs indicate that there
will be at least a certain sort of
rivalry between her and Mrs. Roose-
welt. The close friends of both re-
pudiate any such idea, but others
are of the opinion that the coming
season will see two moons shining In
the social armament. In any event
it seems clear that the dual splendor
Will make the second Roosevelt adj
ministration one of historic social
brilliance.

Most Sober People In France.

According to a statistician, the
people of Paris are among the most
sober of France. Each one of them
only drinks annually on an average
217 iters of wine, and the same
quantity is consumed by the inhab-
itants of Bordeaux and Angouleme.
Nice is the thirstiest place, for the
consumption there is 276 iters per
head. Next to Nice comes st.
Etienne, in the Loire, with 265
hters. In the matter Of spirits only
eight liters represent Paris in the
statistics as against seventeen for
Havre, sixteen for Nantes, fourteen
for Boulogne-sur-Mer, ten for Ca
lais and so on.-London Telegraph.

MaIini Turned the Trick.

The entertainer known as Malini
recently performed some of his card
tricks before a gathering which In
Guided the queen. At the close one
of the visitors asked Malini to tell
him how much money he had in his
pockets. THAT is easily DONE" re-
piled the magician"
To allow of no deception Malini
was blindfolded, and at his request
the visitor placed all the money on
a table in full view of the specta-
tors. There was dead silence for a
few seconds.
"You are quite sure it is all on the
table," 'Quite sure" "Then, sir, "
you have no money in your pockets. "
No one enjoyed this simple trick
more than the queen, who chaffed
the "victim" on his temporary pow
erty.-London Chronicle.

Our Up Country Cousin,

The greatest mistake that Canada
ever made was in failing to join the
other colonists in the rising of 1775
against England. Had Canada done
this she would constitute ten or
twelve states of the Union BY this
time, have 25,O00,OO0 people instead
of 100000, as she has now, and
would be part of the greatest coun-
try on the globe instead of being a
dependency of a nation 5000 miles
away.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

sltlOn TO Third ran In october.
Commissioner Of Public Works Brack-
enridge in Brooklyn gave out yesterday
a copy Of letter sent 10 the Long Island
Railroad In October last, In which he
warned the company that the third rail

soon after he gave this advice verbally he
was asked by W, F. Potter, then vice-presi-
dent, TO put 1t In writing, which he did.
The Commissioners says he received the
assurance Of the railroad officials that he
would soon receive their decision in the
matter, but declares that he heard nothing
from the company until he was asked TO
issue a permit for the installation Of the
third RAN on the surface.

Of system at this late day Mr.. Braoken-
ridge said:
sThe engineer In charge Of this work

omission Of the contact shoe. From an
engineering standpoint IL Is recognized
that the third rail contact IL TO be avoided
