PROBLEM QUICKLY SETTLED.
When Camillo di Righini, the
charming child of Mme. Ella Rus
sell, was born, his parents were in
great doubt as to his nationality,
for he was born two days out from
New York on the Koenigin Luise,
under the German flag. 11 is moth
er is an American; his father, the
Count di Righini, a pure Italian.
On her father’s side Mme. Ella Rus
sell’s grandfather was Irish and her
grandmother Scotch, whereas her ma
ternal grandfather was Welsh and
her maternal grandmother Austrian.
To add to these complications Ca
millo’s birth was registered, accord
ing to law, at the first port of call,
which happened to be Cherbourg,
France. What was the nationality
of this little Italian-American-irish-
Scotch - Welsh -German-Erench-Eng
lish-Austrian infant ? This pro
found problem for a long time per
plexed all Mme. Russell’s friends
and acquaintances, until the singer
at last had the good fortune to con
sult Mr. T. P. O’Connor, who, with
out a moment’s hesitation, pro
nounced the verdict:
“Why, av coorse, he’s a son of
ould Oireland.” —London Letter.

Living Models,For Jewelry Designs.
At Weimar, where since the days
of Goethe artistic tastes have been
cultivated under the natromice <*?
X o
the grand dukes, some artistically
inclined ladies recently hind the clev
er and original idea of representing
a number of objects of the indus
trial arts by living tableaux. This
idea was carried into effect with
much taste, and the ladies taking
part in the representation were
greatly applauded.
To represent, for instance, a seal
in gilt bronze two ladies clad in
dresses of the color of bronze were
posed, bent over a Chinese bowl, in
imitation of modern industrial art
which largely makes use of the
graceful female figure. Brooches,
combs, tie pins, pendants, belt
buckles, etc., were shown in the
same way. Reduced by photogra
phy into working size, these living
pictures form pretty designs for
jewelry. Jewelers’ Circular-Week-
Two Kaisers.
In many ways the two kaisers—•
Francis Joseph and Wilhelm 11.
present many points of contrast. In
nothing, perhaps, is this more mark
ed than in the feverish activity of the
younger man and the quiet calm of
the elder. The German emperor
comes near to realizing the idea of
perpetual motion; he is essentially
the traveling kaiser and has visited
every city of importance in Europe
—Paris, perhai s, excepted. Even
Paris he is said to visit incognito.
Tiie Austrian emperor, on the other*
hand, rarely leaves his own domin
ions, and now, having reached the
age of seventy, he announces that
he is no longer equal to th<s fatigue
of paying return visits.—Pall Mull
Gazette. i
Measure of Popularity.
Though Robert W. Chambers ft a
popular author, he will rarely talk
about his books.
“Literary conceit is distasteful to
me,” said lie the other day, “and I
like to see it taken down. It was
well taken dowTt in the case of a
New York man last month. He has
written a novel, and the puDlic li
braries have put this book on their
shelves. The man called at' one of
the libraries to find out how his
work was going with the public. He
hoped to have his vanity tickled a
little.
“ ‘ls in?’ he said to the li
brarian, naming his book.
“ ‘lt never was out,’ was the re
ply.”—New York Tribune.
Depew’s Salt Mackerel.
Even to this day Chauncey De
pew is touchy at the mention of a
harmless joke which was perpetrat
ed at his expense many years asro.
At that time he was abut checking
freight on the wharf for Commo
dore Vanderbilt and in his spare
moments was fond of fishing in the
river. One day, having set his line,
he went into the office near by to
resume his duties. The boys pulled
it in, attached a salt mackerel and
yelled to him that there was some
thing on his book. He hurried out,
of course, only to unu ihat he had
been fooled. The joke is a sore
point with the senator even nowa
days, though no one seems to know
just why.—Exchange.
Pdd Figure of Speech.
At the convention in St. Louis
of the Catholic Total Abstinence
society a Philadelphia delegate, Jo
seph A. Osborn, had occasion to re
fer to the difference and the con
trast in the lots of men. “Some,”
said Mr. Osborn, “become honored
citizens, fruitful in good works; oth
ers become worthless vagrants, de
spised by all.” Then the speaker
used an odd and striking figure.
“So,” he said, “one slab of marble
turns out a useful doorstep, while
another only becomes a lying tomb
stone.”
THE FRENCH FRONTIER.
Not less than ninety-three forti
fied places of modern type, some of
them being nearly impregnable,
guard at present the French frontier
From Dunkerque to Nice. Most of
them have been built since the
Franco-I’russian war at a cost of
$400,000,000. Prance has to appro
priate annually about $1,000,000
for the maintenance of these for
tresses. Of late there are not a few
military men, and among them Gen
eral l’ierron, the former command
er of the Fifth army corps, who ex
press grave doubts as to the value
of this chain of fortifications in
time of war. They point to the
fact that it would take about (100,-
000 men to garrison all the for
tresses, including Paris and Lyons,
an army whjch would undoubtedly
be of more value in the field. Gen
eral Pierron predicts a “total col
lapse” in case of anew war with
Germany if the numerous fortifica
tions are to be retained.
Scraping the Tongue.
In olden times the mother always
had in the cabinet a silver hoe—a
little thing with a long handle—
with which to scrape off the coated
tongue <>f hi r chili!, and there were
phlebotomies in those days who let
a few oiMV.v o! blood from a ple
thora- p c . f understand that
there i: i ! j a re..irn,to those fa
miliar practices-. Good! The other
day an old friend of mine had his
life saved by a generous bleeding at
the nose, and another fellow was
Cured of neuralgia in the face by
stfaiping his tongue with one of his
wife’s whalebones. This hone was
taken from a corset and bent into
the shape of a letter IT, much elon
gated. The neuralgia had been
rabid foP weeks, and physicians had
been appealed to in vain. An hour
after the tongue was scraped for the
first time an improvement was no
ticed, and in a few days the neu
ralgia was gone, never to return. —

W:rs Fences arid Lightning.
Since the use of wire fences has
become so extensive the number of
cattle killed each year by lightning
greatly increased. Farmers’ in
surance companies have investigat
ed the matter and now come for
ward with a warning to policy hold
ers. Nearly all of the cattle killed
by lightning have met their death
in open fields, where, in many in
stances, there was not even a tree
to attract the electric fluid. As
many dead cattle were found near
wire fences, this led to the discov
ery that the lightning was carried
along the wires composing the
fences. During a severe storm cat
tle are liable to run until stopped
by a fence. Here they stand lufddied
together, ready for the bolt. A rem
edy is suggested in running a
ground wire every ten rods several
feet into the earth..
Nitrogen Necessary For Life.
The atmosphere is composed of a
mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, the
former substance being essential to
life. It has been a matter of scien
tific speculation, however, what part
is played by the nitrogen, and
whether it could be supplanted hv
hydrogen. Professor Marcacci of
Palermo, Italy, has recently shown
that ip an atmosphere artificially
constructed with an equal amount
of hydrogen substituted for the ni
trogen life cannot be supported
for any length of time. Professor
Marcacci tried to keep animals in
such an atmosphere, but he found
that they soon died, the same effects
being noticed as would result from
cold. This is explained by the fact
that hydrogen possesses greater con
ductivity for heat than nitrogen.—

When Royalty Travels In Japan.
There has existed in Japan for
many centuries a curious law to the
effect that whenever the emperor or
empress appeared in public no other
person .should seem to o. a
higher place than tins' member of
the royal family. Therefore on such
occasions the shutters of all upper
stories were drawn, and the upper
parts of the houses past which the
royal party moved were seemingly
deserted. This law is still in effect.

A Leaaon In Bird Meeting.
Most young men when they trav
el in the woods of South America
have their wits about them —most,
but not all. It is related of one
that, seeing a parrokeet enter a
hole in a tree, he climbed up to cap
ture the bird in its nest, as he
thought. He put in his hand and
felt something soft and flabby.
These, he imagined, must be the
young ones. He had still sense
enough, however, to try to look into
tfie nest. So he prodded the hole
wider with a stick and then saw a
huge boa, its jawß fringed with the
feathers of the unfortunate bird.
He descended the tree in the twin
kling of an eye and did not forget
this lesson in bird’s nesting.
The Wondrful Baobab Traa.
The baobab tree is considered one
of the most wonderful of the veg
etable kingdom. It appears that
nothing can kill this tree; hence it
reaches an astonishing age as well
as enormous size. The natives
make a strong cord from the fibers
of the bark; hence the trees are con
tinually harked, but without dam
age, as they soon put forth new
bark. It appears impervious to fire,
and even the ax is resisted, as it con
tinues to grow in length after it is
lying on the ground.
Odd Partnership.
A strange discovery was made by
a Scotch forester recently, that of a
nest thirty feet up in a larch tree
occupied jointly by a wild duck and
a common brown owl. Two eggs
were in the nest, one of the duck
and one of the owl. The forester
had previously noticed both birds
flying from the tree.
