A Bed For Seventeen.

Probably there is no bed capable Of
holding so MANY as seventeen in this
country. But such bed is to be
found in the Mount Tet hut 10000
feet above the seal, one of the Swiss

Alpine club. The bed is really con
structed to hold only fourteen. but the
day on which Il party visited the hut
was SO exceptionally clear and the con

for the first time. las soon as l land
ed in Ireland attempted to look for
traces Of some of my ancestors, who
came from the extreme north of Ire
land. Meeting an intelligent looking
lrishman. informed him Of my mis-
sion, saying that my ancestors emigrat-

years ago and l was there trying to
look them up. He answered: 'Ye say

s'The papers say that black man in
Virginia is gradually turning white.
Poor fellow" Chose were hard days
for native white men all over the South.
"The property in South Carolina,
which was worth $4OO, GOO 600 in 1860, is
reduced in value to 100000. Cause,
the emancipation of the slaves and the
havoc of war;"
"Fighting seems to be the business
that is the liveliest the world over just
at present. Let us see: Here are the
Fenians fighting the Kanucks, there the
Mexicans are fighting Macmillan and
the Imperialists. A little further down
on the map the Peruvians are fighting
the Spaniards, with Chilli to help them.
Then, just over the way, Paraguay is
fighting Brazil and the Argentine Con-
federation. All Europe is getting ready
for big fight. The Russians are fight
ing the Bokharras, the Chinese are
fighting the Mongolians and the Tar
tars. In fact, this wicked world, some
how, was never so full of fight as it is
just now. The Peace Society, we fear,
is drifting sadly astern." eve thought
those skirmishes were war fifty years
ago. Such a condition would be called
a world peace now.)
'The LaCross (Wis.) Democrat, in
speaking of the stealing of plantation

makes the following honest admission of
their dishonesty: Not only bells, plates
and sewing machines, but thousands of
other things are scattered all over the
Northeastern plumber of Southern
homes! Only day or two since we
saw in home in this city two volumes
of a novel once the property of "Julia
Rhett, from B. r." bearing on the title
page the advertising card of Charles
ton bookseller. On the same page in a
bold, brazen hand was written the name
of Wisconsin captain, with the date
and position of his command at the
time! And the book is passed from
hand to hand with scarcely a thought
that it was once filched from home in
the South. The time will come when
these stolen goods will be buried out of
sight," well, maybe the time will
come, but it hasn't come yet. Articles
in Northern newspapers are still seen
from time to time abiding to such troph-
les of war. The press of the North and
OF the South is just now filled with pro-
tests of German outrages in conquered
territory. In fact, war has always had
plumber as its chief aim. The soldier is
the servant of the statesman who would
take provinces and trade from the con-
quered. The soldier merely initiates
his government on smaller scale when

II really don't see," he exclaimed,
''how the fact that your client is a,
orphan. bears on the case. He is old
enough to take care Of himself, and It
is quite natural at his age he should
have lost his parents. For instance. I

Mrs. MinkIsr's Pie Was Big, but u
Had It's Limits.

THAT'S the third time" observed Mrs.
Millsap, who was visiting country rela-
tives, that I've heard reference made
to Mrs. Minkler's pie-pudding,' and 1t

the cooking for her family OF four. and
