Hon. Francis w. Cushman of Wash

Of Laramie peak and was loved by al
who knew him well. From Wyoming
he went to Washington and became a
congressman from that state. He is
a man Of great ability and his keen wit
has often %convulsed the members Of
the house. But his greatest distinc'
ton is his extreme LONELINESS. His
face would stop an eight-day clock i'm
mediately after winding; at least that
is the verdict Of his friends; and he
delights in facial contortions. When
Cushman first went to congress he was

What little word to mean so much

1t is significant that the first message
that marked the actual opening Of the
transatlantic wireless service referred
to the effect Of this marvellous achieve
ment of modern science on interna-
tional relations, and especially on the
growing solidarity of the English
speaking nations. Certainly science,
art, and commerce are constantly max
ing the world smaller" to use the IA
miliar phrase, and bringing nations
and races together, banishing prejudice
and unfounded hatreds, and making
mutual understanding and peace easier
and surer. But, of course, the direct
and primary benefits of the perfected
Marconi system will be commercial.
The development and improvement Of
this service will lower rates in long
distance communications, increase in
ternational business, and bring many
places that the cable has not reached,
and perhaps never would have reached,
into touch with the busy centers Of the
world. Wireless telegraphy cannot be
claimed by the new century. 1t is
among the miracles of what Wallace
called "the wonderful century," the
nineteenth; for it was first announced
in 1896, when even advanced electric
ians received the discovery with pro-
nounced skepticism. Every year since
witnessed a step forward, and two
years ago the service between Nova
Scotia and Great Britain was formally
and officially inaugurated, though much
remained to be done to render 1t COM
mercially and generally available. To
day Mr.. Marconi and his associates
are Justly proud of their triumph, a tri-
umph that reflects credit on modern
science, art and industry. The posi-
bilities of wireless telegraphy and of
electricity in general are infinite. Al
ready, as a by-product Of the wireless
telegraph, we have the wireless tele-
phone The American naval service
is experimenting with such telephones
on several war vessels, it having been
found that ships equipped with the
wireless telegraph can hear distinctly,
at considerable distances, through or
binary telephone receivers, what is
said or sung or played on other ships.
No one can foretell the future appli-
cations Of the wireless" principle in
the transmission Of sound, power, light,
etc. But progress henceforth in that
direction Is sure to be rapid, and COM
merce, civilization and humanity will
reap inestimable benefits from 1t.

What He Found.

He was a new deputy sheriff and
had been out on his first trip through
one of the most unproductive sections
Of Warren county, Kentucky. Among
other papers given him was an execu-
ton against a man who lived on about
the thinnest tract of land and most
dilapidated out-buildings to be found
In this almost barren section Of coun-
try.
When the new deputy came in from
his trip he asked one OF the expert
enced men in the Office how to make
his returns on the various papers. He
was told to write briefly the facts, as
he found and understood them, on the
back Of each other.
On the execution referred to above
he wrote as follows:
"No property found to satisfy within
execution and none will be found so
long as he stays where he now lives"

HE DID NOT CARE.


According to n story-which the
Bellman prints with the comment that
1t may not be true-the late Prince
Bismarck once snapped a link in a
chain of precedence which promised
to be endless. The tale was brought
to mind by the recent retirement of
Lord Archibald Campbell from the ac-
tive management Of Coutt's Bank in
London.
Lord Archibald fell In love with
Miss Janey Callander, and went to
ble father, the Duke of Argyll, for his
approval of the engagement.
I'm delighted; nothing could be bet
better let me speak to Lorne? He
might think we ought to consult the
princess"
So to his brother, the Marquis OF
Lorne-now the Duke of Argyll-they
went, and he certainly thought that
to who should be admitted into the
family.
"If Archie likes her, she suits me
down to the ground" said the prin-
cess, impulsively. "But, you know, 1
think 1 ought to speak to the Queen"
Her late majesty graciously APPROX
ed of the match.
"But, Louise, / think I ought to con-
suit our German cousin first" she said
to her daughter, and accordingly wrote
TO the German Emperor.
The Kaiser-the present Emperor's
ndfather-remembered having met
Miss Callander, and approved of the
match, but left his letter open because
he did not care to answer fully with
out consulting Bismarck.
The Kaiser found his chancellor, and
telling him of the proposed alliance,
asked what he thought.
Bismarck blew cloud of smoke be-
fore he answered his sovereign.
"Me?" said he. "Oh, 1 don't care"

CARRIED Chinese host, to whom one OF the
party at some time has rendered a ser
vice or extended courtesy.
HOW TO CARVE A TURKEY.
Sharp Knife of Greatest Importance
in Cutting Up Fowl.

Some are born carvers, some after pain
full effort achieve carving and some-un-
fortunate few-have carving thrust upon
them. In order to become skillful in
the art it is of the first Importance to
have a sharp knife.
Daniel Webster, so the story goes, once
undertook to carve the turkey at an old
fashioned dinner. The knife was dull as
the traditional hoe and the bird proved
refractory, giving the great man more
trouble than one of his celebrated cam
paign speeches. Finally, after an espe-
cially desperate effort to cut through the
hide of the troublesome fowl, the knife
slipped and the bird turned complete
somersault and landed in the lap Of
lady who sat next to the famous man.
But even after this effort Mr.. Webster
never turned a hair.
Madam, I'll trouble you for that tur-
key" said ne, and went at the struggle
again with might and main.
But we are not all born with the
aplomb of the great orator, so it is as well
to take the precaution to have the knife
sharp.
The turkey should always be served on
a platter large enough to hold the differ
ent joints as they are carved. 1t should
be placed on the table with the breast to
the left of the carver, who commences
operations by first getting a firm grip on
the fowl by sticking the carving fork deep
down through the upper part of the breast
bone. Now, holding the fork securely in
the left hand, take the knife in the right
and remove the legs and the second joint
together by passing the knife around the
joint next the body. Then take off the
wings in the same manner and disjoint
them, cutting through the ligaments.
Before carving more from the turkey

Thanksgiving of the Chinese.

As we learn more of this curious peo-
pie, we are inclined to think that down
in the narrow streets of Chinatown there
is more real poetry than one would sus-
pect from the matter-of-fact appearance
and actions of the inhabitants. The aver
age American, in the rush of metropolitan
life, forgets all about the moon unless
there is an eclipse, and even then there
are ten chances to one that he knows
nothing about it until he reads the paper
next day.
With the Chinese it is different, says
Leslies Weekly. AS their fathers did
before them, so do they, and so will their
children-for it takes more than CEN
tury to eradicate a deeply rooted belief
pay tribute to the sun and the moon and
the stars.
On the fifteenth day of the eighth
month in the Chinese calendar, which,
according to the American method of COM
putting time, was this year about the first
week in September, the Chinese celebrat-
ed their annual moon festival and thanks
giving. In the country, where the good,
old-fashioned Yankee farmers still con-
Time to plant their peas and beans in the
different times of the moon, so that they
shall grow right, that body at this time
of wear is called the harvest moon; so
II is the harvest moon that determines the
date of the festival, which is much like
the Thanksgiving of America and Eng
land and the Metzelsuppe of the Germans.
The day preceding and the day follow
ing the night of the full moon the Chi
nese set aside for the feasting and mer-
rvmaking. There is no suspension of bust
ness. for the celebrating is all done after
pightfau. The thanksgiving days are con-
silered a good time to pay off monetary
debts as we'll as social, for such a prac-
tice promotes domestic felicity and hast
ems prosperity. 1t is not unusual during
moon-festival week to see a large party
of Americans entertained by a gayly
