Paris, July 13.-The supreme court

being the author of the famous incrim-

charge was founded and ordering the
annulment of the judgment of the
Rennes cOurtmartial with the publica-
tion of the final announcement of his
innocence in fifty newspapers to be
chosen by. Captain Dreyfus.
The reading of the decision lasted
an hour and it was only at the close
that the spectators realized the sweep
Ing nature of the vindication. As the
final determination was announced
there was a buzz of excited comment
and some exclamations Of approval,
which the court officers sternly re-
pressed. -.
Outside the court the crowds re
ceived the decision without making
any demonstration.

The circumstances of Captain Drey-

he will take the grade of lieutenant

have reached if his service had not
been interrupted.
The cabinet will hold a special ses-
sion at the Elysee palace to determine
on the course to follow In view of the
decision Of the supreme court. 1t has
already been determined. however,
that besides the restoration Of Drey-

Liquor Figures.

The countries that drink most are
not necessarily the most drunken,
and statistics of consumption are
poor guide to the degree of nations
intemperance. On paper, the greatest
drinkers in the world are the French,
yet France is notoriously temperate
country. Her statistics of police
drunkenness are less than one fourth
the English record. Before the phyl-
loxera ravished the vines, and led to
spirit drinking, the French probably
held tho palm for sobriety among
European peoples, Spain, Italy and
Portugal, being wine-growing and
winedrinking countries, have large
statistics of consumption, but are,
as matter of fact, exceedingly tenn
perate. Northern Russia, Scandinavia
and Scotland are the most drunken
parts of Europe, though the con-
sumption of alcohol per headyis COM
paratively low. Climate and race
have much to do IN determining such
matters. A warm country is sober
and usually gambling country. A
raw, dull and damp climate predis-
poses to indulgence. Thus the north
ern countries of England are more
drunken than the southern. Scotland
is more drunken than England, and
the west coast of Scotland more
drunken than the east. The vigorous,
predominant races of Europe, if not
of the world, seem to have always
been given to strong drink; and l
have read many disquisitions that
sought to prove that energy, enter
prise and drink go necessarily together
in the sum total of national char
acter. But l do not suppose that any
one will be inclined to accept the
English drink bill as a proof of
national virility. For the past ten
years this country has spent on drink
from 1876, ,000,0 600 to $3.50, 600, 600 a
year. Its average annual expenditure
on drink amounts, therefore, to a sum
that is more than the entire annual
revenue, that is equal to all the rents
of all the houses and farms in the
kingdom, and that is only a little
less than the cost of the South African
war. Nearly five-eighths of this goes
in beer, and about a third in spirits,
and e-thirteenth in wine. The
expenditure per head, on the basis
of the whole population, works out at
little over S21 per annum; but it
Is reckoned that there are In the
United Kingdom nearly 10000
abstainers and about IA, 600, 600 child
rem under the age OF fifteen. Deduct
ing these, the number of actual con-
sumers is estimated at "a, 1000, 600,
whose annual expenditure per head
thus comes to over S35. 1t is also
calculated that the English working
class family spends almost one-sixth
of its income on liquor. r.-Atchison

The Panama And The Suez Canals.

One can scarcely comprehend the
volumne of business passing through
the Suez Canal which according to an
article by William K. Stewart -in-thA
Technical World for March has in
creased since the canal was opened
from $3.50, 900, 600 year to S9O0, O9O, :
600 in 1904, as represented by the
Indian trade alone, which constitutes
rather less than one half of the total
traffic of the canal. Some of those
who are caviling at the care with
which the administration is proceed
ing in the construction of the Panama
Canal should be reminded that at
times during the construction of the
Suez Canal no less than $4,000 labor
ers were employed, and sanitary and
medical services. school houses,
banks, asylums and other features of
permanent community had to be
provided by the constructing COM
pany. In other words the United
States is proceeding upon the same
intelligent lines demonstrated to be
successful in the construction OF the
Suez Canal and there is no reason to
believe that this enterprise will not
have as important bearing upon the
worlds commerce and be as great a
success in every respect.

lngton after several months of ab-
sence. He is Raymond F. Crist to
whom was assigned the investigation
of Japan and North China. 1t cannot
be said that any of the views Mr. Crist
has expressed since his return have
been starrlingly new. They arc in
many respects the same that have
been voiced by lone and helpless
consuls for years and years and which
had about as much effect on Ameri-
can manufacturers as throwing water
on drowned rat. Mr. Crist says that
the reason American trade abroad is
not in the same condition as the ex-
port trade of countries like Germany
and Great Britain is because our
manufacturers will not 60 after it.
There is, he says in the northern part
OF the Orient as fine field for Ameri-
can trade as could be desired. but
our manufacturers are either ignoring
it or pecking at it In half hearted,
unlntelllgent way. The lack OF busi-
ness, says Mr.. Crist, is more the fault
of our exporters than of our consuIs.
The American manufacturer needs
waking up to grasp the foreign trade
opportunity before it is entirely alb
sorbed by France, Germany, and
England.

Most Costly Carrinre.

Originally costing something more
than $1,000, the lord mayors coach, still
used in the annual procession, has
probably had more money expended
upon it than any horse drawn vehicle
in the world. 1t is something like 150
years old, and in that time more than
100000 has been spent in refurnishing
it for the sole occasion when it is made
use Of each year. A more modern
coach could be had for the sum Of five
years. repairs, but new coach would
never seem the same to the London
public who line the Strand on the occa.
sion Of the November parade. 1t is
probable that the lord mayor Of cen
tury hence will ride in the same equi.
page, though, like the Irishman's knife
it has been repaired so often that prac-
tically nothing of the original coach re.
mains.

Occurrence in regular cycle of
five years is the strange popularity
OF bacterial disease of tomatoes that
has caused much loss in the English
county of Kent. 1t first appeared in
1883. when it ruined the crop, as it
did also in 1892, 1897 and 1902
but other years have been free from
1t. All efforts to exterminate the
pest have been unsuccessful.
Imperfect vision is being found by
British school boards to be deplor-

thousands of pupils. In one Scottish
district twelve per cent of all the
school children had hypermetropio
astigmatism, and by the age of 35
would all require glasses, becoming
thereby untitled for many ocoupa-

A Fable That Points N Moral With a
Large Grain of Truth.
There was once a Rich and Stingy
old Bachelor who had Two Nephews.
And one, being a Hypocrite, said in his
Heart: "All men are Mortal, and this
One must Die some time, although un-
fortunately his Doctor understands his
Case. So l will Pretend to Love my
Uncle and Bear with him and Tend
him with Great Care and Tender AS
siduity." But the Other Nephew, who
was blunt and Honest in his Feelings,
said to All Whom it Did not Concern:
"Why should pretend to Care for Ny
Uncle when 1 Don't and Play the Hypo-
crite? He cannot but Respect my IN
dependence the More then than if 1
Fawned upon him."
One day the Uncle died when it Sud-
denly occurred to him that he was
Spending too much Breath. To the
Nephew who Was a Hypocrite he left
his Fortune, and to the One who Did
not Conceal his Real feeling he Left his
Regards.

They Are Not Always Appreciated by
Their Owners.
"Dimples are just as common among
men as among women" says a New
York beauty doctor, "only they don't
show off to such good advantage.
Beard and mustache combine to hide
their charm. Anyhow, men are not
proud of dimples. They consider them
a sign of effeminacy. Now that smooth
faces are the fashion, the man with a
dimple in cheek or chin is hard put to
it to hide that beauty mark. In his ex-
tremity he seeks relief from me.
"'What can 1 do with these confound-
ed dimplesY he asks.
"Take 'em OUT advise.
"'Can you do itY he asks.
"'Sure,' says I.
"'All right says he, go ahead
"Then begin treatment. In the past
year I have removed sets of dimples
from mems faces that any woman of
their acquaintance would have paid
$100 for All men with money to
spend patronize the beauty doctor more
shamelessly than they used to. but of
all the miracles they wish performed
there is none they insist upon so stout
" as the removal Of dimples. ."-Ex-

Toushness of the Ant.

Ants are really very long lived, con-
sidering their minuteness. Janet had
two queens under observation for ten
years, and one Of Sir John Lubbock S
ant pets lived into her fifteenth year.
Ants are very tenacious Of life after
severe injury. Following loss Of the
entire abdomen, they sometimes live
two weeks, and In one case q headless
ant, carefully decapitated by aseptic
surgery, lived for forty-one days. A
carpenter ant after being submerged
eight days in distilled water came to
life upon being dried, so that ants are
practically proof against drowning.
They can live for long periods without
food. In one case the fast lasted near
ly nine months before the ant starved
to death.-Scientific American.

THE HUMAN RIBS.
Man Has Twelve Pairs, and Woman
Has Just the Same.

Has just the Same.
A man who had been sick said he
was so thin he could count his ribs.
When heard this statement asked,
"How many did you countY He was
unable to answer. Several friends were
standing by, and the query was put to
them. Not man could tell the num-
Der of his ribs One bright chap said
in all seriousness that a woman has
one more rib than a man, because man
lost one In the fashioning of woman.
And, do you know, this belief is COM
mon? Suddenly spring the question on
any acquaintance you may happen to
meet In the days journeying. Unless
he be medical man he will In all prob
ability be unable to answer.
1t is an anatomical fact that man has
twelve pairs of ribs and woman the
same number. The four short ribs,
two on each side, are the "free" ribs,
and in all probability Eve was made of
one of these. A man could manage to
struggle through life without his free
ribs, and have no doubt that ere long
some corset manufacturer will require
woman to have hers removed in order
to lengthen her waist and to reduce its
girth. To break few of the asternal
ribs ten altogether) is nothing; to
break some of the sternal fourteen in
number) ones is far more serious.-NeW

Norris & Rowe Circus.

With the present circus season, the
Greater Norris & Rowe Show Will
celebrate It's eighteenth birthday.
1t is but natural to suppose that in
all this time vast quantity of equip
ment should be collected so 1t was
with considerable relief that Norris
& Rowe accepted the offer of small
circus touring the middle west, to
purchase all their old wardIo ODE, Co.'S
tunes, small cages, dens and chariots.
When the clearance was effected, II.
S. Rowe hurried to New York and
there had made to his order all new
big dens, tableau wagons, chariots,
cages, floats etc., superb new ward
robe, attractive trappings, for the
horses, and many novel up to date
circus fixtures, so when the show ap-
pears here the young western circus
men are confident that the public will
agree with them that the title, 1.-THE
New and Greater Norris & Rowe Cir
Gus, Museum, Menagerie and Hippo
drome, is the most appropriate name
that could have been given the new
show. Not an act of any kind has
been retained from last season.
Many of the European bare back
riders are making their first trip to
this country and quite number of
the athletes, mld-air performers and
acrobats have never been in this
section, and this is just exactly what
Norris & Rowe wanted. 1t was
promised last season that when the
show came this way again, every act,
feature, novelty and all the equip
ment would be new and interesting
and Norris & Rowe are satisfied in
the knowledge that they have. as
always, lived up to their every pro-
mise. The New and Greater Norris
& Rowe Circus will give two exhibit
tions here Monday April 9th.

Il Adapts Itself to All Soils and Clf-
mates of the Earth.

IL AuaptS 1tSeII TO All SOILS anu ClN8
mates of the Earth.
The dandelion belongs to the largest,
oldest and most widely diffused order
Of plants. While other orders of plants
have died out and become mere fossil
remains in the rocks, this order has
survived the geological changes Of
many different periods on account of
Its power of adapting itself to those
changes. And these changes in their
turn have only made it better suited
for all the varied soils and climates of
the. earth at the present day.
We find members of this order in
every part of the globe, in places as
far apart from each other as they
can be. 1t is the prevailing and DOM
lnant order of vegetable life, the most
highly finished and the most success
full family of plants. And the dande-
lion is one of the most perfect forms
belonging to 1t.
1t is the head and crown of the vege-
table kingdom, as man is the head and
crown of the animal creation, and it is
curious how this highest type Of plant
Is always found only where man, the
highest type Of animal life, is found
and where he dwells and cultivates the
soil. 1t is never found apart from
him. 1t follows him wherever he goes
to America, Australia and New Zea-
land-and there in the new home 1t be-
comes a silent but eloquent reminder
Of the dear old land he may never see
again.-Exchange

equally among the sailors. To aid this
object also the crews are divided into
two divisions, starboard and port. A

there are seven watches. The watch
which is on duty in the forenoon one
day has the afternoon next day, and
the men who have four hours rest one
