kanaaroos Saved a Rothschild.

kan9aroos Saved a Roehsehiio.
Walter Rothschild, the richest bache'
lor in England, had close call with
matrimony when he was a young man
A designing mamma had managed to
get the heir to the Rothschild millions
interested in her daughter, and the
daughter did all she could to lead the
interest up to the point Of a marriage
proposal.
One night at a watering place, after
Rothschild had retired to his room, he
heard voices under his window which
he recognized as those Of the young
lady and her mamma. .
sHas he proposed YETI" asked the
old woman.
"Not yet" answered the daughter
"but I'll have him hooked before long
if only I can endure his conversation
Tonight he bored me almost to death
talking about his kangaroos."
'I am sorry" said Rothschild, put
ting his head out Of the window, "tc
have bored you with tales Of my ami
mails. Forgive me. shall never dc
so again" And he never did.-Londor

Or. Mabie and the Liveryman.

A literary pilgrim, says the Satur-

to Summit, N. j., to pay his respects
to Hamilton Wright Mabie. At the
station he asked the liveryman who
had been in service there for thirty
years:
"Can you tell me where DR.. Mabie
lives?"
"Never heard Of him." replied the
liveryman.
"Surely you must" continued the
pilgrim. 81 mean Hamilton Wright

Jean Richepin's Career.

The story Of how he came to adopt
q literary career is sufficiently pictur-
esque. For some time he had picked
up a precarious livelihood by doing
'odd jobs" including such prosaic oc-
cupations as that Of bootblack and
casual porter on the Quai Marseilles.
One day he was engaged by gentle
man to carry to the railway station a
heavy trunk. Arrived at the station.
there was an instant mutual recogni-
ton. They were old college chums.
"What are you doing here? asked his
friend. Carrying your trunk, be-
lieve," said Jean. why do you do
this?" Because I must" where
do YOU live?" "Come and see." re-
piled Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling-a miserable room in
an attic in the poorest quarter Of the
town. Upon the table lay scattered
heaps Of manuscripts-Jean's incur
sions in the realms of poetry when
the more prosaic duties Of the day
were over. Looking through them, his
friend was astounded at their quality.
"Why do you carry trunks and blacken
boots when you can do work like
this?' he asked. Richepin had never
given the matter a thought. He had
never deemed these products Of idle
hours worthy Of publication. Pub
lished they were, however, in very
few weeks and created an immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Richepin never looked back.-West-

Our New York Letter.

That the planet Mars is inhabited,
there is no longer doubt. Professor
Todd, of Amherst college, has taken
recently nearly 1000 negatives, using
the most modern Photographic equip
ments. The professor was engaged
by Professor Lowell and the expedi-
ton sent some months back to. the
lower part of South America to make
the observation. With the photo
graphs a new map of the planet is to
be made.
The usual distance from the earth
to Mars is 6O,0O0,000 miles; every
fifteen years it comes within 38,0OO,-
600, miles and it is at these periods
the observations are always taken.
What is apparently great canals, the
work of man, were discovered in
1877, just 80 years ago. The canals
really exist for the camera clearly
showed them in the recent observa-
tions. It is estimated almost to a
certainty that there are two OF these
canals, varying in width from three
to twenty-five miles and they are
$500 miles long. There are no clouds
visible, and therefore it is deducted
that rain does not fall there. 1t is
therefore thought the great canals
are used to convey water for irriga.
ton and other uses. The facts OF
canals causing the concession that
Inhabitants are there.
Whatever that race is it must be
a hardy one and Of the highest order
of intelligence. It is customary to re-
gard the men of this earth as re-
presenting the top of the scale of
creation. But may there not be an
other race in some other world bet
ter endowed and more intelligent
than the human beings on this planet?
Man is so full of conceit that he may
not care to believe this, but for all
that it may be possible. On Mars
there is evidently life, and intelligent
life.
On account of the attraction OF
gravity being less than it is on this
world the men of Mars are prob
ably taller than are the inhabitants
of this planet. The atmosphere OF
Mars is certainly more rarifed
than is ours and, naturally the in;
habitants would have deeper and
broader chests. The surface Of Mars
it is believed must naturally be a
desert.
Prof. Todd does not believe that
the so called signallings from Mars
were anything more than reflections
from snow and ice caused by the rays
of the sun. His photographs OF the
planet are being carefully prepared
and in three or four months they will
be made into a complete Of Mars.
He brought back with him seven tons
of apparatus, supplies and negatives.

from thirteen to twenty feet. The

The 156 miles of constructive work
between Miami and Key West pre-
sents practically every problem
known to the railroad engineer. The
construction on the main land from
Miami. a distance of twenty-nine
miles, presents no unusual difficulties
Beyond this the road passes through
heavy mangrove swamp, distance
of nineteen miles. Throughout the
swamp there is not sufficient water
to float the dredges and not enough
materials within reach to allow wheel
barrow work. 1t was found neces
sary to dredge two large channels tt
accommodate them. The two dredges
then made their way through the
swamp, digging their own channels
as they went along and using the
material thus dug for the railroad
embankment. Two other dredges
were started meanwhile from the op.
posite end of the swamp in the op

SHORT HAIR AND CIVILIZATION.

A news note from the far East is to
the effect that noteworthy feature Of
the Japanese occupation of Korea is
the reform in the wearing of the hair.
The new emperor has already fallen
into line and has sacrificed his long
hair to the dictates of the new era.
The older statesmen have rebelled, and
have fled from court rather than to
comply with the ruling fashion.
A little observation here leads to the
query is it a matter of coincidence,
merely, that the short-haired races are
the leaders of civilization? 1t was the
short-haired roundheads you will re-
call. that bested the Roytlists and
changed the be-rlbboned Englishman
into the well-knewn modern type. The
civilized Indian lays aside his blanket
and drops his hair, and when he de-
generates both are taken up again.
Is it true, then, that the Chinese
must forsake his queue and the Korean
his topnot and his high hat when they
break away from the past and turn
their faces to the strenuous trend of
civilization?

NOW IS BEST
Time TO TAKE

a well-known authority on Rheuma-
t'sm gives the following valuable, yet
simple and harmless, prescription,
which any one can easily prepare at
home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being OF
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case Of rheumatism.
The pain and swelling. IL any. diminish
with each dose, until permanent re-
! suits are obtained, and without injur-
ing the stomach. While there are many
so-called rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines. etc, some of which do give
relief few really give permanent re-
suits. and the above will, no doubt, be
greatly appreciated by many suffer-
ers here at this time.
