The Irish members of the British Par¬

Ex Lord-Mayor Whitehead, of London,
is a clever man. H<vte the only English¬
man who was benefited by the Shah of
Persia's recent visit. Whitehead, who
was then Lord-Mayor, refused to give
the Shah a banquet unless he was prom

When the youthful ruler of the Chinese
Empire was compelled to marry a cer
lain daughter of a high caste nobleman
recently, he kicked most vigorously, bnt
liis royal mamma persisted and was suc

sorted his prerogative and he vehemently
refutes to see either his mother or his
wife.
Advices from South Africa report a sad
state of affairs in thc Transvaal, The
people are suffering from drought and
famine. A critical juncture lias been
reached in Johannesburg where bread
stuffs are commanding famine prices.
The neighboring countrie arc doing
nobly to alleviate the sufferings, and
have despatched many provision wagons
to the scene.
i A German scientist proposes to deter¬
mine by means of photography if the
moon is inhabited, and it is said that thc
King of Wurtemburg lias decided, in
order rf possible to solve this interesting
problem, to photograph the moon, then
enlarge the negative 100,000 times.
Tins proposition has been mooted foi
I many years. Perhaps the improvement
in terrestrial telescopes will yet solve this
question.
I Great enterprises are crowding one
upon another so rapidly in the South
that, according to the Manufacturers
lkcord, no one can take a general view
<>f the whole situation without being
amazed at the magnitude of the revolu¬
tion that is in progress. Ouc of the
most striking features is the heavy in¬
vestments of Eastern and especially New
England capital, which is pouring into
the South as it formerly did into the
West.
Of course, the only Baraum lias taken
the Londoners by storm, His great
moral show is an enormous success.
Fully 15,000 persons were in attendance
on the opening night. The flower of
the English nobility and of the American
colony were there, In fact it was de
clnrcd on all sides that it took an
American to dare cross the Atlantic with
such a gigantic show, and admiration
for American skill and pluck is expressed
on all sides. „
A metal that can hardly be distin¬
guished from gold has beau invented.
It is like the precious metal in
all its points, can be hammered and
drawn equally well, ami presents
a good wearing surface. It is
not a compound, and gains its gold
color from the action of a chemical. Thc
inventor has placed samples of his di
covery on the market*, and expects to be¬
gin its manufacture soon, It can be
made for sixty cents a pound, and may
be used extensively in the manufacture
of cheap jewelry.
The missionaries in the Central Afri¬
can lake district are now in a state of
ojh'u war with the Arab slavers. The
Rev. Air. White writes that they have
been compelled to fortify themselves at
Fwambo, on Lake Tanganyika. They
have built a strong fort, surrounded it
with an abatis of thorny trees and a wire
entanglement, and spread broken bottles
over the approaches. They are daily in
expectation of attack. On Lake Nyassa
the missionaries have been constantly
fighting slave-raiding parties of late.
They always go out and attack the party
which has committed a raid and compel
the Arabs to release their captives.
According to the Lewiston (Ale.)

except a short period during the war
when the Government was building s 0
many vessels, has shipbuilding l>een so
prosperous in the Unitnd States as it is
now. On thc Delaware there is plentv
of business besides that of the Govern
ment. The Cramps say that they have
all that they can attend to. The yards
that build for the great lake marine arc
either busy or preparing to be. On the
Pacific coast there is something doing in
.-■ddition to Government contracts. This
year the shipyards of East Boston have
worn something like an aspect of aztiv
'y. Before long Mr. Loring will begin
work or a steel cruiser at South Boston.
In Maine eighty-four vessels have been
launched or laid down this year. To be
surc most of this building, outside the
Government contracts, is wooden ve>sels
for thc coastwise trade, yet the number
n * vessels constructed for the mer
chant service on the Delaware and lakes
is increasing, and preparations are being
made to establish iron shipbuilding
Llauts at Bath and other points.

According to a French newspaper the

af the editor. Paul Hennig, are about to
install a museum devoted to Bismarck,

Another woman of respectable position
has been seized in a New York city dry
goods store and bundled to the police
station charged with shoplifting. There
is grave doubt of her guilt, but lie that
as it may, it would be far more seemly,
iu the opinion of the Detroit Free Press,
to ask a woman so suspected to step into
a private room and give lier an oppor¬
tunity to explain before publicly dis¬
gracing her. “It is a fact beyond
tion that in certain New York shops the
most honest and respectable woman may
by reason of some inadvertence, absent
mindedness or mistake of her own be just
so placed. In one of these stores a lady
was some time since arrested and narrow¬
ly escaped being locked up because a
lace handkerchief had caught on a but¬
ton of her gown and she was quite un¬
consciously carrying it away. But then
the floor walking private detectives must
earn their salaries.”
Both North and South Dakota arc hav¬
ing a hard struggle with poverty in their
first days of Statehood. Great as have
been reported the agricultural resources
of these new States, at least 20,000 pco
pie are now destitute of food, and with¬
out means to buy any. At least three
counties of South Dakota did not grow
enough wheat for their own use, on ac¬
count of frost. The failure was still
worse in North Dakota, These regions
will come out all right in time, but their
pioneers are suffering, as did the early
pioneers in older sections, and actually
need help to-day.
It is dangerous to let a man die in a
hotel in Paris. A queer French law eu
ables the landlord to present his bill to
the relatives for thc death. The sum of
'8140 was the item recently demanded
from an American family for the decease
of one of its fnembers in a well-known
hotel. This extortion would have been
three times as great if the person had
died of a contagious disease, and doubled
if the deceased had been a Prince or a
member of any rich old aristocratic
family. The allowances by the Judges,
however, are generally much less than
the claims of the landlords.
The New York Times thinks “it rather
remark“l le that this country should hold
•the record' for tlTe leaping of horses.
This accomplishment comes into play only
inhunting, and ihelnmtingiu this country
is of course very trifling in comparison
with that in the British islands. Never¬
theless, American-bred horses have for
some years beaten the records made
abroad. The performance in Chicago in
which two Canadian animals cleared a bar
six feet ten and a quarter inches from the
ground is by far the most remarkable yet
achieved. Such a leap would be unusual
for a horse at liberty, while for a horse
and rider it is wonderful. If the Cana¬
dians can succeed in breeding horses that
combine speed and stoutness with the
this capac ity for lumping, the market for
them in London will be practically un
limited, and the prices what in Canada it¬
self would seem fabulous." Since the
foregoing was penned, one of the Cana¬
dian horses referred to has beaten our
record, jumping six feet eleven and three
juarter inches.
Through the generosity of various per
sons interested in this subject, the Ameri¬
can Economic Association of Baltimore,
Aid., lias receive ! the.snmof •'-GOO to be
awarded as prizes for the best essays on
the subject of women wage-earners. The
money is to be awarded iu the propor¬
tion of $300 for the first prize and $200
for the second prize. Any person is eli¬
gible to competition. While the ex¬
perience of foreign countries will, nor be
excluded, it i- expected that competitors
will deal principally with the American
aspect of the subject. It is desired to
know the early aud present condition of
women wage-earners, their growth in
numbers both absolutely and in propor¬
tion to population, the present extent of
their sphere of labor, the economic and
social evils connected with their various
occupations as wage-earners, and reme
dies for these evils. The essay must not
exceed 25,000 words, and must be iu
thc hands of the Secretary of the associa¬
tion previous to Nov. 1, 1890. Each
paper must be type written, signed by a
fictitious name, and accompanied by a
sealed envelope containing the name as¬
sumed as well as the address of the author.
THE SONG.
Two maidens read together,
Ail in the Autumn time,
A little love-sick poem.
Some humble poet's rhyme.
One glanced it lightly over—
“Oh, what a love-lorn wail f 1
One hid it in her bosom—
She understood its tale.
There came another Autumn;
Oh! it was passing strange
If any year departed
That left no solemn change.
For Love, the tireless hunter,
In shooting night and day.
And some of his barbed arrows
Are sure to go astray.
Like some lost leaf of Autumn,
The little rhyme once more
Was blown unto the maidens,
Who read it as before.
, But she who called it love-lorn
And laughed the laugh of youth,
Cried: “Oh, the sweet, sweet verses,
They are as true as truth.' 1
So poets write forever,
And when the song is sung,
To half the hearts that hear it
It is an unknown tongue.
But Pain, the great translator,
Comes by and by along,
And he interprets fully
The meaning of the song.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

“A erabapple jelly-cake, Jotham!’
said Mrs. Merrywise, with tears behind
her spectacle glasses. “And I made it
myself, after the recipe you used to like
when you were a little boy-and you’ve
scarcely tasted it!”
“It s very nice, mother,” declared the
sunburned young Apollo, swallowing an
additional mouthful of erabapple cake
with an effort, “and you’re the best cook
in the world; but you see I’m in such a

“Going to see Eloise Elton, I s’pose?”
said Mrs. Merrywise, with true maternal

“I'm going to ask her to go to the

“ ’Twou't be of no use,” oracularly
spoke Mrs. Merrywise, beginning " briskly
to clear away the fhble.
“Of no use, mother? And why
•shouldn’t it be of use?” demanded Jo
tham, , stopping short, with his shrimp
pink necktie half tied.
Mrs. Merrywise shrugged her plump
old shoulders.
“You must be blind, Jotham,” said
she, “not to see that everv girl in the
neighborhood is cleaned bewitched with
that New Mexico major fellow, with his
never , 1, what
he’s doin’ now!”
“He's a stranger in town,” said Jo
thain, goiug on with the shrimp-pink
bows, “Of course they have to be polite
to him. ”
“I wish he was stranger yet—and
there ain’t no ‘of course’ to it as I know

But when he came in sight of the
cottage his heart sank within him; for
there, sprawling comfortably in the piazza
hammock, appeared an apparition in un
dress uniform, with a gold-laced cap on
the floor, aud a good deal of well-waxed
moustache visible. Eloise Elton sat
crocheting on a low chair close by, and
Sadie, her elder sister, was hemming
handkerchiefs on the piazza steps.
Eloise colored a little, jumped up, and
performed the ceremony of introducing
Major Bathurst, of the -th Calvary, U.
S. A., to Air. " I T’ W lse . - Jotham

“Acs, I know, unceremoniously in

haven’t forgotten the last two lines of
the verse, sir:
‘It's well to be off with the old love
Before you are on with the new!’
44 I \ e called. Eloise, tqask you if you 11
go up Rattlesnake Hill with me, on the
ehestnutting picnic, next Tuesday.”
The Alajor sat up in his hammock,
pushing the perfumed curls from his fore
head.
-bhe cant—ha. ha, ha!” said he.
“Already engaged, Air. Merrywise.
Your humble servant—ha, h.a, ha ! Rattle

mountain. An odd name, very. AYe used
to have lots of rattlesnakes around when
I was quartered iu West Virginia. Don’t

business is done! I don’t know how many

“Indeed?”
•■The simplest thing in the world—
quite thc simplest, said "Alajor Bathurst.
I 11 show you. if you d like.
“Thanks. I neednt trouble you,”
Jotham, frigidly. “Then you won’t go
with me, Eloise?”
“I’m ever so much obliged,” said
Eloise, shyly glancing up from under her
eyelashes, “but I've promised Alajor
Bathurst.
Jotham bowed and silently turned
away. Eloise, perhaps a little con
science-stricken, followed him to the
gate.
••Isn't the Alajor perfectly delightful:
said she.
••Humph!" commented Jotham.
“I wish you could hear the thrilling
stories he has told us of lion hunting in
Arabia and elephant shooting in Ben
gal."
“I must try and dispense with 'em,"
drily uttered Jotham.
‘‘And those dreadful skirmishes with
Sitting Bull and •his savage hordes, out
in New Mexico?”
“Sitting Bull wasn’t a Pueblo brave,
that ever I heard of." said Jotham.
“It was Geronimo, then!”
“Wrong again,” corrected Jotham.
“But perhaps your Major realizes that it
isn't very necessary to be accurate in his
reminiscences, when women are con
eerned.”
“Jotham, how Can vou be so unjust?"
flashed up Eloise. “My Major, indeed!
I’ve a great mind never tc speak to vou

And it ended in Jotham Merry wise's
inviting Theodosia Milner to go with
him upon the famous picnic party, whose
ostensible purpose was to search for
chestnuts on the rocky slopes of Rattle¬
snake Hill, the spur of a mountain some
few miles to the eastward of the village.

“Full Bred” and "Thoroughbred.”
a subscriber in Brownwood, Texas,
as jj S the difference between the terms
“full bred” and “thoroughbred” as ap
p u e( j to ji ve stoc k. The confusion that
often arises from the use of these terms
an( j the term “pure bred” is frequently
occasioned because they are wromdy
used. A pure race, or race of “pure
bred” animals, is one of unmixed line
age, whose characteristics are well de
lined, and which breeds pure to the type
i n every essential particular, including
'
form, color, temper, and, of course, po w
er to transmit the same. The Devons
come as near filling all these require
nients asanv cattle, and are the best type
of a pure bred.
A “thoroughbred” is the descendant
0 f a ]M raa i s originally of mixed lineage,
( Jut w hick have been interbred for so
long a time—without further admixture
—that they come essentially true to the
type desired. Short-horns and Here
fords among cattle, and racing horses are
thoroughbreds.
Full blood is a term that should not
be used to denote either purity of blood
or thorough-blood. IIif'h--jrade animals
are the produce of pure stock upon coi£
tnon stock, and when pure stock is re
peatedlv bred to the progeny in the
course of generations, nearlv approaches
the pure race in characteristic, and is
called “full blooded.”— Farm, Fieldand
