The Compass Boxed.

Hotel proprietors have absolutely
no right to stick their labels on ones
luggage. The fact that you have
stayed at this or that hotel does not
entitle the. owner to 8 your prop
erty for advertising purposes. When
one has been abroad for any length
of time, ones trunk is 30 covered
with parti-coloTed scraps of. paper
that it is impossible to iad space for
an ordinary railway label. You want
to inform all porters, whom your
movements ought to concern, as to
your destination. You don't want to
announce to all and sundry (includ-
ing your wife) that you have stayed
at this hotel at Rome-or that at
Monte Carlo-or the other in Paris.
If you have actually put up at these
hotels, the chances are that you will
wish to economic at the next hotel
where you stay. Certainly you will
be opposed to spending any large
sums of money on toques for your
wife. Let US be firm about this.
Let us not allow hotel managers to
treat our trunks as hoardings. If I
buy somebody's brain pills I don't
permit their vendor to clap an ad-
.v%ertisement of their merits on my
silk hat.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Ireland Grows Good Tobacco.

Five years extension Of the facili-
ties granted by the late Government
to ireland for the purpose Of tobacco
growing ought to convince the most
skeptical of what experts already
know--viz., that good tobacco can
come out Of the sister isle. II we
had been more mindful Of our neigh
bors and less of the Virginia planters
that fact would have been demon
strated long ago. Less than loo
years ago more than 1000 acres was
under cultivation in Ireland. The
average profit vas $50 per acre, but
In some cases as much as 800 per
acre was obtained. Moreover, during
the d%istressful period, Wexford
where the weed was in greatest culti-
yation, suffered less than any other
part of the island.-Pall Mall Ca

Over the Oatmeal.

It reminds me of the oatrreaI
dodge, said, the detective. He was
speaking Of an ingenious swindle
that hadsbeen worked successfullyo ON
a %shopkesper. The oatmeal DODGE,
he continued, was worked on a grocer
in the suburbs. A man entered the
shop and engaged the grocer in con-
v~ersation. While they talked a
youth came in.
"bo you sell oatmeal?" the new
conner asked.
Eyes," said the grocer. '"The very
best. How much"
But the man interrupted. 81 just
wanted to know" he said. Good
day." And he walked out.
The grocer, looking a little disap-
pointed, resumed his conversation.
with the stranger. In a few minutes
a second youth appeared. ::
do you sell oatmeal?" he asked.
"Yes," the grocer answered.
THANK you. Good-day." :.
: And this young man also disap-
peared. -gsag. a.
well, what the dickens!" ex-
claimed the grocer. "But, as we
were saying" he resumed, anG the
interrupted conversation went b1iskly,
on. 90
Soon a third youth entered the
shop. He said, do you sell oat-
meal?" :
eyes," the grocer snapped.
Thank you. Good-day." ~
And this young man departed-on
a run. For the grocer, thoroughly
enraged at last, had rushed upon him
He had, however, a clean pair OF
heels. The grocer was unable to
oyertake him. So, after a chase Of
a hundred yards or so, he returned
breathless. r,.
He found the first man gone. The
shop was empty. SO was the till.
Once. more the oatmeal dodge had
succeeded.-Tit-Bfts. ~:

This commemorative bronze tablet is affixed to the wall OF" Building
No. &C." in the Kittery Navy Yard, where the Russian and japanese N
yoy held their sitings and where the Treaty of Portsmouth "a signed.
1t measures five feet six inches by three feet seven inches. The design u
the border consistas mainly of the seals of Japan, Russia and the United
States. These are about three inches in diameter, and the Japanese and
Russian seals alternate. In the centre of the border, at the top and 1t
the bottom, appears the seal of the United States. A United States shied
is used at each of the four corners. The tablet was cast in United states
standard bronze. This is ninety per cent. copper, seven per cent. tin and
three per cent zinc Only the finest grade of copper from the Lake u
perior mines was used. To this alloy, however, was added, when the metal
was used, and Just before the pouring of the mold, a collection of pieces
of bronze and copper of Japanese and Russian origin, together with pieces
of metal from historic sources in the United States. Among the inter-
esung pieces were old Japanese coins, Russian coins, copper ar from
the Imperial copper mine in Japan, and a handful OF rare cope n liver
American coins. Among the souvenir pieces yer copper from d United
States batteship Maine, sunk in Havana Harbor; bronze from the statue
of the Goddess of Liberty, surmounting the United States Capitol Build
ing; a piece of the cornerstone box of the United States House of Repre-
sentatives Office Building; a piece of the bronze staircase Of tn United
States Capitol; a piece of the bronze doors of the United States House OF
Representatives.; a piece of the statue of General Sherman, erected in the
city of Washington; and a portion of the bronze clips from the first
searchlight used on the United States Capitol.

A Generous Horse.

The following incident, given by 8
writer in the St. Louis Republic, in
dicates that it is possible for a horse
to be "a perfect gentleman" Two
ine-looking horses attached to single
buggies were hitched near the en-
trance to the st. Louis Merchants
Exchange. They were hitched sew
eral feet apart, but the hitching
straps allowed them sufficient liberty
of movement to get their heads to-
gether If they so desired.
The owner of n Of them had
taken the opportunity of a prolonged
stop to give the horse a feed of oats,
which was placed on the edge Of the
sidewalk in a bag.
He was contentedly munching his
oats when his attention was attracted
by the actions of the other horse,
which was evidently very hungry.
He eyed the plentiful supply of oats
wistfully and neighed in an insinuat-
ing manner.
The horse with the feed pricked
up his ears politely n replled WIN
a neigh, which must have been, in
horse language, an invitation to the
other fellow to help himself.
Evidently he accepted it, for he
moved along in the direction Of the
bag as far as the hitching strap
would permit. But the strap was
not long enough, and the hungry
mouth fell about a yard short Of the
bag.
The host noticed and seemed to ap-
preciate this difficulty. Fortunately
there was some leeway to his strap.
| So he moved slowly along the curb.
pushing the bag with his nos until
his guest vas able to reach it. Then,
after a friendly nose-rub of saluta-
ton, the two horses ~contentedly fin
ished the oats together.

A Shortage Of Gray Parrots.

We are told, but all warnings do
not turn out true, that we may ex-
pect a shortage" soon in the supply
of perhaps the most popular of all
our cage birds - the gray parrot
which comes from the West Coast OF
Africa. It is curious and at first
sight very paradoxical, but the reason
why we are likely to be short of par
rots is that the time of the voyage
from the West Coast to Liverpool or
Bristol has been so greatly shortened.
The cause does not seem, in the abb
sence of explanation, to fl the effect,
but the actual explanation Is simple:
it is that the parrots, coming from a
| much warmer climate than ours, ar.
rived in the old days by slow and
gradual stages into the colder atmos-
phere; they had far more time to be-
come acclimatized. Now, with the
swift passage of modern steamers
they are plunged from the hot into
the cold with all the swift shock of a
Turkish bath. The result is in a very
large majority Of cases fatal.-Lon'
don Spectator.

A Simple Solution.

A Scottish lawyer, with a liking
for billiards, had occasion recently to
visit a small town in the west of
Scotland. While there, seeking to
pass the time, he found a new and
excellent billiard table. 9,
Upon inquiring If there was any
body about who could play, the land.
lord referred him to one Of the ma
tives. They played several games,
but the result was against the lawyer.
Try as he might, the c%ountryman won
every time.
"Mr. -" the lawyer remarked.
eve quite a reputation lat home.
They consider me a good billiard
player, but I'm not in your class.
May I inquire how long you have
played?"
ooh, for a while back" replied the
native. But, I say, I dinna want to
hurt yer feelin's, but you're the first
fellow I ever beat"

600. The deposits of the great banks
of France in 1905 were s579,400,000,
against S1S2,40O,000 in 1885. The
Bank of Frances deposits last year
we're s164,6O0,000. The habit of
investing in Government and other
bonds is more widely prevalent
among Frenchmen, it is said, than
among other people. The peasants
find such securities very convenient.

ANTELOPE HERDS. IN COLORADO.
So Plentiful That There is Agitation
For an Annual Open Season.

Railroad men running into Denver
on the prairie lines from the East
say that antelope are becoming SO
plentiful in the vicinity Of Fort Nor
gan, Wray Brush and Akron that
herds of from thirty to fifty are no
uncommon sight, and many of them
have become so tame that they race
along the railroad tracks for miles.
The law against the killing of an
telope contains a clause allowing
their being hunted from October Is
to October rs in 1907, for the first
time in several years. During the
past few years the antelopes have
been increasing rapidly. They fire.
quent the neighborhood of the smaller
towns, and many families in Fort
Morgan have captured young ante
lope and raised them as pets. They
have also increased in. the South,
Middle and North parks, although
they frequent the prairies more than
the mountains.
It is said that the cactus covered
plains in the counties in the eastern
part of Colorado furnish the best
adapted place in the country for the
rearing of the young Of the antelope.
The young are usually born in a hol-
low scooped out Of the sand by the
mother, in the midst of a thicket of
cactus. In this way the baby antelope
are safe from the depredations of
prairie wolves and coyotes, who are
not able to penetrate the cactus
thicket, while the mother can jump
over the hedge without injuring her
self. The coyotes are only feared
by the young antelope, the older ami
mails being able to protect them
selves.
|. An agitation is now spreading
among sportsmen to have the short
open season for antelope provided for
next year permanent for a week each
year. They claim the animals have
increased so In the last few years
that no injury will be done in the
short open season. The season for
quail, however, which will also open
in 1907. will probably be abolished
by the coming Legislature.-Denver
