It is fragrant and it is generous In its giving.
But when you know the orchid, you realize
that there is a certain quality there that
the rose and all other flowers do not possess

fascination-and that has nothing to do with
beauty and cannot even be described"

The trading in coffee continued on a very

the tone was steady. The cables were rather
better than expected and there was more or
loss covering, as well as a certain amount Of
new buying, but, on the other hand, long coffee
continued To come out and the narrowness
of the speculation discouraged buying, while a
cable from Havre stated that rain was doing

1t is said that rain at this time would inter-
fere with the gathering and drying of coffee.
II was also pointed ont that rain at this sta e

siderably smaller than II would otherwise

PEOPLE OF BRITTANY.

The Women Mostly Bald md the Men
Mostly Drunkards.
''The women. not the men. go bald In
Brittany" said barber. "They go
bald where 1t shows most-above the
ears. Women, quite bald above the
ears, are as common In Brittany as
baldheaded men are with us.
Brittany is a granite strewn, billy,
well wooded country In northwestern
France, overlooking the sea. 1t Is New
Hampshire with the sea added. The
Breton peasants speak a language
strangers. and they wear a peculiar
costume.
This costume Is what causes the
baldheaded woman. One part of 1t, the
Golf, or headdress, q cap Of white linen,
requires that the hair be drawn back
very taut from the temples. Drawn
back thus, as taut as Ii will go, 1t be-
gins to disappear at the age Of twenty
FIVE, and by the time she is thirty five
or forty the Breton peasant woman
looks as If she we're the victim of some
horrible disease, for. from her temples
to well behind her ears, she is as bald
as an egg.
'The men, on the contrary, are never
bald. For one reason, they work bare
headed. For another, they belong to
the low, animal type Of man that pre-
serves a head of thick, coarse hair to
the end. They are nasty lot, the men

gion of the World.
The gulf of Mexico is sea 1000
miles long from the strait of Florida
to the harbor of Tampico and 800 miles
wide from the mouth of the Mississippi
river to the mouth of the Coatzacoalcos.
This Mediterranean of the west IS
surrounded by countries Of extraord
nary richness in the fertility of their
SOIL the geniality of their climates, the
vastness and value of their forests. the
variety and extent of their mineral en-
dowments.
All these countries, capable of sus-
tanning hundreds of millions of people,
are inhabited by nations and races who
live under republican forms of govern
ment and cherish and maintain free in
stitutions. The northern coast line of
this important sea is in the great re-
public of the United States of North
America, the southern half is in the
next greatest American republic, that
of Mexico, while on the east are the
important islands of the West Indies,
with Cuba at their head The region
around this most important sea is des-
tined to be far richer, more powerful
and more distinguished in the history
and affairs of our globe than were ever
those that bordered the ancient Med
iterranean of the eastern hemisphere,
not even excepting Egypt, Greece and

HOW AN INSULT
WAS AVENGED

fOriginall
A gentleman and bis wife had been
dining at cafe In Paris. The waiter
presented the bill, which was duly
paid, with an extra franc by way Of
tip, and the lady was gathering her
wraps when her husband said:
There Is Gambler, whom have been
trying all day to find. Remain here.
and l will rejoin you In a few min
utes'
Rising, he hurried toward NJ. Gam
bier, who was leaving the cafe, and
only caught him on the sidewalk. The
two talked together for some time,
when the gentleman returned for his
wife. He found her with a crimson
face and eyes flashing anger.
"What is the matter, my dearT ask
ed the astonlshed husband.
"The beastw exclaimed his wife.
"What beastT'

"You had scarcely gone out when a
man passed the table. stopped In front
of me, stared at me and said:

"I turned my back to him, and he
went away, mutterlng: Very fine, very
fine. The model has become lady"
(Which way did he go?" cried the In
dignant husband.
"Out of that door. But you are too
late One would suppose you had for
gotten your poor wife, to be gone so
long. He Is far down the boulevard
by this time"
Describe him.
"He wore a fur overcoat-the only
one In the cafe"
Going to the desk. the husband asked
who had dined there possessing fur
overcoat and was told that it must be
M. Gignoux. His address was II Rivoli
street
The husband took his wife home and
went Immediately to II Rlvoli street.
1t was a large store, at which fine sta
tlonery was sold, wedding cards en-
graved, etc. The gentleman asked for
M. Gignoux and was told that he was
dining at his cafe and would return In
an hour.
"Give him that" said the caller,
throwing down a card on which was
the name NJ. Henri Cartier. "He will
understand"
Returning to his wife, M. Cartier
told her that he had left challenge for
the man who had insulted her. By this
time her Ire rsQmeYhat molliied.

"I'll teach him to be more careful,

ton from the challenged party had
been received.

replied that there had not. After break
fast but half an hour remained before
the court opened. NJ. Cartier, who was

up, and, taking bag containing his
papers, he hurried away. He did not
return to his home till In the after
noon When his wife told him that no
word had been received from the chal-
lenged man he swore that he would
take a whip and give the coward a
thrashing. He was about to depart In
order to put his threat into execution
when a servant entered with little
packet neatly sealed at the ends on
silver salver.
"What's this?" asked the master.

Tearing off the paper. he displayed

each bearing the name M. Henri Car

his wife, dumfounded.
Here Is the bill," said the servant,
presenting q statement for a copper
plate and 100 printed cards. "The boy
says that since monsieur Is not known
to the firm he Is to get the money or
bring back the cards."
Husband and wife looked at each
other with wide open eyes; then both
burst into laughter.
"My. faithv' exclaimed the former.

Turning, he left his wife, her laugh
ringing in his ears, and made straight
for II Rivoli street. There he asked

THE BUTTE HILL.

Where Fortunes Were Mnde and
Spent In a Day.
When DAILY had acquired the proper
ties surrounding the Anaconda, he
opened up the Butte hill. One must
Iave vivid imagination to picture to
himself the growth of Butte. from that
time on during Marcus Days life.
|170rtunes were made and spq1 1ht in a
WI army of men descended into
the mines daily to strip them of Their
treasure. huge forests were despoiled
of their timber to stull and shore up
the excavations and protect the earth
above, for these copper veins are often
100 feet wide. Immense smokestacks
began to vomit their clouds of smudge
from scores of furnaces scattered over
the hill; the moan and clank Of huge
pumps could be heard In the depths
forcing the water to the surface; the
pound of hammers and the steady i'm
pact of drills sounded everywhere,
while the earth trembled and beloved
with distant underground explosions.
Great hollows, like cathedral naves,
were scooped out, where the treasure
had lain In the rock ribbed earth.
Horses and mules were blindfolded
and lowered into the mines-where
their hides, like the gray boards of the
old miners, soon took on the greenish
color of the copper which saturates ev-
kerything below the surface. The Butte
hill soon became a vertiable under

Louisiana Lands

The House Committee on Public
Lands has favorablY reported
Judge Watklns' bill authorizing
the Secretary of the Interior to
have . survey made of unsurveyed
lands IN the State of Louisiana.
The report says:
stIt appears that there are In the
State Of Louisiana, as shown by
the records Of the Land Office,
about 65, 900 acres of public lands
still remaining unsurveyed aud I'M
appropriated, lying north of the
Louisiana base line. The proba-
billty is that these lands were not
surveyed when the lands surround.
ing them were surveyed. because
It that time they were wet or over
flowed.
.sThe officials of the Department
of the Interior hold that under the
law they have no authority, at this
time, to survey these lands. ard
Legislation authorizing their sur.
vey, therefore. seems necessary.
Accompanying and made . part Of
this report is letter from the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office setting forth the facts with
regard to these lands and stating
that his Office knows Of no objec.
tions to the proposed surveys; also
q letter from the Secretary of the

Prosperity is good thing, but
it comes high. Dun's Review
shows that prices are s per cent
higher than they were on October
1, and while this means more net
income for producers, and presum-
ably for middle men, it is . SUBJ
stantial income tax on consumers,
few of whom have experienced any
increase IN income since last fall.
Dun's tables show no prices so
high as the present since 1880.
