IMPRACTICAL AND UNFIHELy.

A Chicago scientist says he will undertake to produce a new heaven and new earth for $50, and nobody comes up or down with the $50.
 This scientist is, like many of his tribe, not practical. He is not only un- practical but he is also untimely. This is no time to float any such scheme as he has concocted, and $50 is no cap ital to float it with. He should have
 lmped into the ring more than year ago with properly worded announce ments" sin the financial and advertis- ing columns. He should have capital ized his scheme in accordance with it's size and it's promise. If the biggest corporation in the world has a billion and half of securities a scheme that l offers new heaven and a new earth should have much more. Fifty dollars indeed, and also forsoothl No wonder the Chicago scientist cant get a dollar. There may be no water in his $50 capital, but some water Is salable even in these times And in the golden times, when he should have launched his scheme, the capitalization should have been at least ten blnions Then he might have got million or two out of it Of course by this time his favor- ite bank might be busted and he might be on the way to prison, but he would have had the glorious sensation of be- l ing high financier.

The Conaucrinr Race.

tThe Nation, Iondon)
 No conquering race can possess much power of introspection or self examination They do not fret and whine about their condition" says Whitman of the animals. He could equally have said 1t about the Eng fish. No conuuering race can possess patience; else if passes into the ac- qulescence of the South whose favorite word is "to- morrow or the aeauies- cence of tho east, which is content to let the laundering legions pa and plunge In thought again No c iues- ing race can possess irony, else Il will uncomfortably suspect that it's con- quered peoples are secretly laughing at it, and this suspicion will excite it to resentment and reproach. No conquer Ing race can possess humor: for then one day if will find itself laughing at itself; and that day 1t dies. Those who would help mankind must not expect much from them, is the half said, half cynical verdict of worldly wisdom. Those who would rule mankind must not expect much from themselves be- yond rulership, is the lesson of history l upon all imn.ris lism. Above all those | who would No the work of the world ! must not trouble themselves very much whether the work itself is worth | the doing.

GETTING SCARED EARLY.

Many think 1t is well to get scared early, so France is enjoying a cholera scare. It appears that in two years a railroad connecting Mecca with the world will be done. There is cholera in Mecca as there always is and when the railroad is in operation the cholera can get out of Mecca more easily and more efficiently than it does now. Pro- lessor Chantemesse of the Academy of Medicine, Paris, foresees a spread of cholera from Mecca along the entire Mediterranean seaboard as early as next spring, and has sounded a serious alarm. When this Mecca railroad Is finished, with its still more rapid dis scmination of bacilli he sees Europe reduced to everlasting vigilance against the introduction of tho plague. i He counsels for France an immediate reorganization of her quarantine on ] land. He sees wisdom in an immediate l international conference of defence. The existing. sanitary measures at all 1 European seapor,s, he thinks, are hopelessly antiquated. Germany. fl seems, has effective barriers against l infection from immigrants; but France Is almost defenceless And no vigil is complete, Professor Chantemesse
 points out, that does not include a thorough watc on transient travellers
 All of which looks al1rmingly req sonahle. Perhaps the United States
 will soon be invited to join in the
 cholera scare Meanwhile fl has got a
 fine job on hand in getting over the

 Y our Shirt Department is stocked for a while yet-for two months more or less. Yet 1t may not be wise to defer the selection of materials. Everything is here now, but every thing cannot stay here always. The stock may remain large for a long while; but the very particular people are apt to come early. and sometimes one very particular per- son takes just the things another particular person would have liked to take for himself.

DOGS IN WARTIME.
OF GREAT VALUE IN FINDING
THE WOUNDED. ~

bulaneO corps-Idea 10 Nor
New One.

Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants to the Paris police
COPS why shouldn't they be trained tt

service of the French army? The adj
Vantages of this innovation have been
SET forth at some length by Dr. Biche,
Tonne and Capt. Toilet in q volume
which has just been published. It lie
entitled the Dog as an Aid to the
Sanitary Corps" -.
That dogs should be taught to seek
OUT the wounded on the battlefield is
no new idea. The experiment was
tried with success at the time of the
Boer war, and at the battle of Cha
tio In the conflict in the far east three
dogs sent out by the German Alliance
discovered % soldiers who had been
given up for lost.
In 1890. by order of the German
war minister, two dogs were added to
the sanitary corps of one of the crack
regiments. Since then clubs for the
training Of dogs in war time have been
formed In Dresden, Cologne, Coburg,
A1x-la-chapelle and Neuwied Similar
societies have been organized in Hol.
land, Sweden and Italy. in fact all Of
the European countries have turned
their attention t. the subject at one
time or other except France.
DR.. Bichelonne and Capt. Toilet urge
the military authorities to repair this
omission. There are many good
breeds of dogs in France which would
take easily to the military training.
1t is an undisrrted fact, these au
tnofs say. that after an engagemanf
there are many wounded and dying
VINO are overlooked by the nurses and
litter carriers. A case in point ia
quoted. At the battle of Rezonville-
GraVelotte In 1870 two injured soldiers
lay for three days in a ravine. The
ground had been gone over many
times by the ambulance service and
yet they had not been found. In In.
stances like this the usefulness of
dogs as scouts Is unquestioned.
1t is wonder that European armies
nave not awakened long before this
last decade to the importance of dogs
as practical helpers in wa, time, the
authors think. On the battlefield the
role of these canine assistants would
be very much the same as that of the
st. Bernard dogs-and they have been

during the past 10 years. Neither am
able to adequately express my appre-
citation for the kind words which have
been spoken since the election. IF I
could regard the defeat as purely a
personal one, I would consider it q
blessing rather than misfortune, for
l am relieved of the burdens and the
responsibilities of. an Office that is
attractive only in proportion as it
gives an opportunity to render larger
public service. But 1 shall serve as
willingly in private capacity as in a
public one. God does not require
great things of us. He only requires
that we improve the. opportunities for
service presented by private life.
I'm this hour of national defeat I
find some consolation in the cordial
support given by my neighbors. by the
citizens of Lincoln and by the people
of the state of Nebraska. With a
Democratic governor and q Democratic
legislature we shall be able to put into
practice so much of the Democratic
platform as relates to state legislation
and I trust that our state will set q
good example that will be an influence
for god on the nation"

Emperor Nicholas of Russia has
many thrones. The three chief ones
are those at the imperial palace and
the winter palace at st. Petersburg.
and In the Kremlin at Moscow. This
last was a present to Gear Alexis in

Of the presentation are recorded in
an inscription on the back Of the
throne. Just above are glistening
double-headed eagles of Russia, with
angels on either side supporting the
imperial crown. In the imperial pal.
ace at st. Petersburg the throne
stands in an alcove of the marble
throne room, with understanding
canopy with thick gold cords and deep
Irlnges Of gold embroidery. On the
curtains behind are emblazoned the
arms of the Romanoffs surmounted by
the crown, with curious star-shaped

Failed 10 Enforce the Law.

According to the following from the
Tribune, the election at Gold6eld, must
have been a sort of free and easy
affair:
The privacy of the ballot was more con-
spicuous by its absence than in any
attempt to enforce the law and keep
each mans ballot sacred. Men in adj
joining booths were permitted to en-
gage in conversation about marking the
ballots, and in more than one voters
went from booth to booth to advise
their friends. Deputy sheriffs were
allowed to go behind the counter to
mingle with the officers of election
without a word of protest. The 100
foot law was u farce, and the saloon
observance could not have been very
rigid Judging from the number of
drunken men that impeded other
voters.
