public question of any kind arises that
does not interest Chandler, and on
which he does not have his say in
one form or another, and to which he
does not usually contribute illuminat-
ing thoughts and good advice. On the
other hand, there is hardly a popular
subject which does not afford Chandler
a vehicle for his we'll known wit and
satire.
The ex-senator has been having a
lot of fun recently with candidates for
the presidential nomination in 1908
He first sat down and wrote a letter
to Vice President Fairbanks in which
he praised the latter's ability as a
statesman, expressed admiration for
his conservatism, predicted great popu-
larity for him as a candidate, and
wound up by saying that he, Fair
banks, was the ideal candidate for the
presidency in 1908. In minute
hand Chandler added a postscript to
the effect that he had written similar
letter to Secretary Taft, Secretary
Shaw, Postmaster-G Cortelyou
and Senator Foraker. Mr. Fairbanks
did not at first notice this postscript,
and he sat down and wrote very ap-
preciative reply to Mr.. Chandler, thank
ing him for the expressions of conf
dence he had uttered, and saying that
there was no warrant for the public use
Of his name in connection with the
presidential nomination, but he was
very grateful to Mr.. Chandler for the
latter's preferred support
The waggish statesman did write
similar letters to all the other candi-
dates, but attached the qualifying post
script, and they all appreciated the
humor, as did Mr.. Fairbanks when his
attention was called to the little joker.
Secretary Shaw cut the postscript off
his letter and sent word to Chandler
he was going to use the latter in his
campaign, and exploit the New Hamp-
shire man as the original Shaw man.

One of the strangest of modern in
dustries is that carried on in the Jura
district of France. 1t consists in talk
ing the fur from live rabbits and weav-
ing it into textile fabric which makes
the warmest kind of clothing material
known. The species Of rabbits which
furnish the material for the manufac-
turing process is the Angora, which
has received the name of the silk rab-
bit. Every three months it sheds it's
fur, and several days before this takes
place nature is anticipated by female
hands, which remove the long silken
hairs by gentle friction

London.-Alfred Charles de Roths-
child is one of those men who have
solved the problem of how to be happy,
though unmarried. Few people seem
to get more enjoyment out of life THAI
he. Possessed of great fortune, his
entertainments are among the features
of the London season, and those about
to begin at his town house in Seamore
place are arousing the most agreeable
anticipations. There is no more popu-
lar host in Mayfair.
mr. Alfred" as he is universally
called, is GIL years old; a dapper little
man and the most exquisite]y attired
member Of the Rothschild clan. Like
all of them, he is an astute man OF
business He is also distinguished
amateur musician, a connoisseur in art
and a dilletante in many things. With
an income that works out little more
than SIS minute, he has relaxed none
Of his practical interest in the great
financial operations for which the
house is famous. He is generally at
his Office by ten every morning, re-
naming there with an interval for
luncheon until the afternoon.
When not occupying his town resi-
dence or detained by some social en-
gagement, the flnancier travels every
evening in his own private railway
car to Halton house, his magnificent
| country seat, near Tring. He is gen.

Alfred invariably conducting and
pieces of his own composition often

Constitutionally delicate, with
medical attendant always at hand, and
intensely nervous about his own
health, his amusements are always
more or less of sedentary nature.
OF medium height and slight build, his
remarkable physical characteristics
are his conspicuously small feet, which
are always beautifully shod. A little

England. 1t is about hundred yards
in diameter, palinged off and sur
rounded by trees In the winter it is
covered by an enormous: tent. At one
side, EMPOWERED among the trees,
stands the royal box, rustic building
in keeping with the surroundings. In
side, however, are seats and settees
which are the finest products of modern
upholstery. Behind it is the dressing
room, which, from the outside, looks
like a rustic cottage with it's matched
roof, but within it contains all the up
to-date accessories of the ring, where
Mr.. Alfreds guests are entertained by
performing monkeys, ponies, dogs,
gazelles and trained stumblers and
acrobats. Another curiosity seen in
the chalet, which serves as a green
room, is a marvellous clock, made like
tee, which plays tunes, sets silver
birds flying through the branches and
a rivulet of water flowing.
Halton is an ideal estate, situated
in an ideal spot, where money has
done it's best to enhance the charms
of nature. At one end of the big
house is the winter garden, sur
mounted by huge crystal dome that
sparkles and scintillates in the sun

In Great Britain there are 22,3SO

States 2O3.132 miles. But in 1903 the
British railroads transported nearly
twice as many passengers as did tho

there were 235 collisions or deral!-

der the Jurisdiction Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. A railroad
president is authority for the state
ment that lines are paid mileage, with
out discrimination, and the question OF
excessive charges is a matter for the
shipper to settle with the car lines, SO

foreign market. For years past Amer
lean consuls abroad have written re-
ports and given advice upon this SUBJ
ject, and warned American shippers
to foreign ports that they must con-
form to the business methods Of
the countries where they expect
to sell their goods. All this agi-
tation, however, has not made the
American shipper as wise as he should
be.
In recent report from United States
Consul McNally, in Belgium, some very
appropriate hints are given as to how
to increase American foreign trade.
He says that American manufacturers
contemplating an entrance into foreign
markets must show their products
possess the merit claimed for them,
and must meet the traditional trade
customs, especially in the all important
matter of credit. Buyers abroad de-
sire to see the goods before paying for
them, and as this right is freely ac-
corded them by the manufacturers of
other countries, they cannot understand
why American manufacturers do not
follow the same policy. In many cities
of Europe the retail dealer extends to
his customers a credit Of six months
or a year. and manufacturers OF the
larger European countries sell goods on
any terms to suit the retail buyer.
The consul expresses the opinion that
when American manufacturers meet
those of other countries in open com.
petition both in the quality of the
goods and in the terms of credit, The
markets will be theirs. s -. :a
