Few men over four score years old could follow the strenuous life led by ex Governor Pinkney Whyte of Mary iand. One day last week this hardy octogenarian went from Baltimore to Annapolis, where he was engaged in the argument of an important case be- fore the court of appeals. That same afternoon he caught the congressional limited for New York. where he argued a case next day On the following morning he went to Boston on business. which occupied the entire day. Next evening he was home in Baltimore again.

The young boy king is tall. rather thin, with a prominent under lip. nose and jawbone. Ills eyes are bluish gray-by no means Spanish-and his hair is unt brown. He has very win ming manners whom speaking or smil- ing, and it Is asserted that he is able to speak six languages fluently, viz' Span ish, German, French, English, Italian and Portugese Don Alfonso Is also d military tactician of no mean order.

Someone asked Caruso why there were so many more good Italian tenors than American. He thought for mo- ment and then replied: Tt Is. think largel ythe climate. Every little village in Italy Is full of good voices. But 1t is also the language. in which the Vo- cal cords are used more easily as they should be- Of course. there is no reas- on why English should not be spoken as naturally as Italian. but it is not. In fact. there are not more good sing CTS in Italy than there elsewhere. There is only more good material. Good singing Is a matter of brains and cul- tivation everywhere.

A Real Farmer Lord.

A Mexican farmer, Don Luis
Terrazas, Il great friend of President
Diaz, has what you might call a tidy
little farm at Chihuahua-about eight
million acres. Takes the Mexican Cen
tral trains more than half a day to
cross it.
Don Luis is thought to own more
than a million cattle. His stable con-
sists of some 100000 horses; his sheep
fold of 100000 sheep. From 100000 10
3OO. .OO0 calves are branded with his
brand every spring. More thar u thou
sand cowboys and so on keep his cattle
on a thousand hills. BY ,the way. his
farm Includes a few mountains for di-
versification.
AT his slaughter and packing houses,
near Chihuahua City, 80, 600 cattle, as
many sheep, and hogs innumerabIe are
killed, and away they go in his own
refrigerator cars. Some 10000 persons
dwell on his estate and are ruled by
this Arabian Nights farmer, who lives;
in Il twO-miIlion (silver) dollar castle
and is a swell and nabob such as these
United States know not.

The New Anaesthetic.

Those who have eXperimented with
scOpolamine claim that it has none of
the disadvantages of the older ;tnaeS-
theticS and has good points which re-
peated tests in the operating rooms
will bring to knowledge. While ii has
been used alone for simple operations
and to a considerable degree in con-
nection with other anaesthetics, it has
not vet won the confidence of con-
servative surgeons to the extent that
they feel justified i'll asserting it to be
of Il merit that will drive ether and
chlOroform from the operating room.
The use of scOpolamine is, however.
in its earliest stage, and the scientific
men will not rest until its value has
been tested most thoroughly. One of
the most important advantages cited is
that this new anaesthetic may be ad-
ministcred hypodermcaiy. and the
patient sinks into an apparently nat
urul slumber. Repeated injections
cause IL complete anacSthcsia, and af-
ter the operation the patient awakens
as if from natural sleep. 1t is stat
ed that he feels no sense of discomfort
and is without the distressing nausea
which follows recovery from the an
aesthesia of ether and chloroform.

German Care of Landscapes.

Most German states have laws to
prevent the disfigurcmcnt of land
scapes by advertisements. Tho dis
trict authorities, like our country
boards. are authorized to determine
what landscapes, buildings or monu-
mcntS Of an historical or artistic value
should be protected. Violations of the
statute are made punishable by fine,
with or without Imprisonment. The
statute provides against the display
of pictures. advertisements Or other
things calculated to mar or disfigure
any especially attractive landscape,
or detlact from the artistic or acsthc-
tic effect of any building or other
structure of special importance. or be
highly prejudicial to any street or part
of city. The alteration of build
ings of historical or artistic value may
be prohibited by the local authorities.
as may the construction of other build
ings calculated to interfere with such
historical monuments.

A Matter of Chanqe.

Justice Brewer. of the Supreme Court,
has a story of the days when a certain
lawyer. now well known at the bar of
Chicago. was having anything but an
easy time endeavoring to win recog-
n:ticn in his profession.
One day Il well-to-do farmer in need
of legal advice sought the struggling
attorney with reference to a suit he de-
sired to bring against neighbor. The
lawyer looked up the statutes and ad-
Vlsed his client what course to pursue.
AS the latter rose to leave the office he
asked, How much?"
oh. say three dolars." carelessly re-
sponded the lawyer
Nhereupon the client proffered a five
dollar bill. The lawyer appeared en-
barrassed. He carefully searched his
pockets and the drawers of his desk
without finding the necessary change.
Flnaily he met the eXigency by pocket
ing the bill and observing. as he
reached for digest:
:. 1T would seem. Mr.. Blank. that
Sha'l have to give YOU two dollars more
worth of advice"

Gold Output of Alaska.

The gold mines on the American
side of the line in the far Northwest
are this year for the first time produc-
ing much larger quantities of the prec-
iouS metal than are being found In
British territory. The yield for 1905
at Nome and in the surrounding dis
trict is estimated by experts at approx
imately $1O.OOO000. and the Tanana
Valley has cleaned up $1.0O0.OOO. Last
year the total gold production for all
Alaska was $9,050,O00, or nearly $1.0OO,-
900 less than this years cleanup at
Nome alone. where the principal in
crease took place during the last sum-
mer. 1t is safe to assume that the
entire Alaskan gold output will not
be far short of $20,000,O00. On the
other hand the Klondikc output for
1904. which was $l0,S29,000. will not
be much exceeded by its total for
1905.

Electing a French President.

They are on the verge of a presidcn-
tial election in France but in spite of
tho fact that the French are proverbial-
ly an cxcitable people, there is said to
bc very little public interest in the i'm
portant event. A French presidential
ever. is quite Il different thing from a
presidential election in this country.
There are no great conventions. no
whirlwind tours of the country by can
didates, no campaign flags and
paradcs and red fire. If such things
were in vogue there the hysterical
frenchmen would get SO excited that
they would so stark mad and never
recover from it. In France the presi-
dent is elected once in seven years by
the Senate and Chamber Of Deputies on
joint ballot and SO the election is not
so completely in the hands Of the peo-
pie as in this land President Lou.

The Game of Life.

This life is but game of cards,
Which mOrtals have to learn;
Each shuffles. cuts and deals the pack,
And each II trump doth turn.
Some bring high card to the top,
And others bring it low,
Some hold a hand quite flush with trumps,
While others none can show.
Some shuttle with practiced hand,
And pack the cards with care,
So they know they are dealt,
Where all the leaders are.
Thus fools are made the dupcs Of rogucs,
While roGucs each other cheat,
And he is very wis" indeed
Who never meets defeat.
When plavirg, some throw out the ace
The counting card to save.
Some play the deuce and some the ten,
But many play the knave.
Some play for mOney-some play for fun
And some for worldly fame,
Eut not until the games played out
Can they count upon their gain.
Whcr; hearts are trumps we play for love,
And pleasure rules tho hour,
No thoughts of sorrow check our JOY
In bcauty'S rosy bower.
We sing. we dance, sweet verses make,
Our cards at random play,
And while one trump remains at top
Our games a holiday.
When diamonds chance to crown the top,
The players make their gold.
And heavy sums are bet and won
BY gamblers young ana old.
Intent on winning, each his game
Doth watch with eagle eye.
How he may see his n"iGhbor's cards
And beat them ON the sly.
When clubs are trunpS. look out for war,
On ocean and on land
For bloody horrors always come
When clubs are held in hand.
Then lives are staked instead of Sold
The dogs of war are freed
In our dear country. ana We see
The clubs have got the lead.
Last game of all. is when the spade
Is turned by hand OF Time.
He always deals the closing game
In every age and cline.
No matter how much each man wins,
Or how much each man saves
The spade will finish up the game
And dig the gamblers grave.

The Salvation Army's Work.

The work done in the large cities by
hungry on Thanksgiving and Christ
mas calls renewed attention to. the
effcrts of the remarkable organization
on behalf of needy humanity. In New
York the Salvation Army fed $4,000
poor people. Monday, 5000 being fed un-
der single roof at the Grand Central
palace. In the whole country 1t Is
estimated that 100000 unfortunates
were given all they could eat by this
organization which makes the feediils
Of the poor but one of its many worthy
lines OF activity. A New York paper
points out that comparatively lie" peo-
rlc realize the magnitude and helpful
character of the work done IN New
York. And what is done in New York
is done on a smaller scale in many
cities. In New York hundreds of men
and women are given employment In
the 81 Industrial institutions scattered
throughout the city. Connected with
these establishments are stores where
useful articles made from what would
ttrials are sold at very low prices.
What these stores may mean to the
very poor is shown by an instance cited
by the Sun where a newly married
couple started housekeeping on SIS,
purchasing their goods at these places.
Early i'm the new year 4 settlement will
be opened at Cherry and Olive streets
in building costing $4,000. In the
basement IS a laundry. where women
can do washing for their customers or
for themselves. An entire floor is
given up to a sewing room which is
veniences for the work of those who
earn their living with the needle.
Many small bedrooms are provided
where girls can lodge for Is cents a
night Or s1.OO week.
In England, where General Booth.
commander of the army. has long de-
sired to try to solve the problem of
ovcr-crOwding in the cities by giving
the poor All opportunity to go into the
country and work the soil, the plan has
been made mcasurably feasible by the
gift of Mr.. Herring of $JO0.OOO to the
Cnnnro1 Rnnth will this;
money in a way to pauperzc those
whom he will try to help. He proposes
tc select 800 of the most deserv
ing and self-reliant of London poor and
establish each in cottage with five
acres Of land and the necessary farm
ing implements. But the purchase
price of the land and tools will not be
IL gift, though the terms of repayment
will be remarkably easy. This is to be
repaid in installments covering period
of 10 years. and at the end of that time
those who have kept the payments up,
or their families. will receive a clear
title to the property. The plan has
Obvious advantages. 1t involves no
loss of self respect OH the part of those
who will profit directly. These will be
able to get "A fresh start in life with
out leaving their own country and un-
der conditions which should make it
possible for them to become indcpen-
dent and property owners on a modest
scale.
