SIRES AND SONS.

hale and hearty, was admitted to the
bar in 1845.
General A. W. Greely now records
his prediction that the north pole will
never be reached on account of the
drifting ice surrounding it.

er in chief of India, has been wound
ed in almost every action in which he

nificent houses in Washington.
Colonel Thomas Conner of Joplin is
the first millionaire ever elected to the
Missouri state senate. Although very
rich, he is in all respects a plain Mis
sourian. He made his monetiin mining
enterprises. / ’
Representative Sereno Payne, the
busy chairman of the ways and means
committee, when congress is in session
works fifteen out of the twenty-four
hours. He is a close friend of Speaker
Cannon, and the two usually leave the
capitol arm in arm and stroll down
Pennsylvania avenue when the day’s
work is done.
Sir William Treloar, the new lord
mayor of London, served as an aider
man since ISU2. Sir William has been
known as the “children’s alderman”
because of his many benefactions to
the children of the slums. He was
largely instrumental in securing the
opening of the British museum on Sun
days. He was born in London in 1843.
All three of the congressmen recent
ly elected from Boston—Joseph F.
O’Connell, John A. Iveliher and An
drew J. Peters—are young men and
bachelors. It is the first time in the
history of the city that a husband and
father has not been included iu Bos
ton’s delegation to Washington, and
incidentally it becomes the youngest
delegation that was ever sent from
any city in the country.
The Smokers.
The greatest smokers are unques
tionably the Dutch, each Inhabitant
consuming about 3.110 grams of to
bacco a year. Their neighbors, the Bel
gians, come next, with 2,488 grams;
then follows Turkey, with 2,177 grams.
The United States, Germany, France,
Italy and Spain consume on the aver
age about 1,860 grams, while the Eng
lish content themselves with about 715
grams each a year.
Plant* Xear the Sea.
Plants growing near the sea have
thicker leaves than those growing in
land. Apparently the sea salt is the
cause of this phenomenon, as plants
cultivated in artificially salted soil
yield thicker leaves.
DAMES AND DAUGHTERS.
Miss Erma Shaw, daughter of the
treasury secretary, is the only debu
tante of the cabinet circle this year.
Mrs. William Ziegler, widow of the
patron of arctic explorers, will begin
the publication of a magazine for the

ter system.

caught by a woman in the British isles.

cently issued her memoirs, has sent a

lowing note: “For the Commercial club
of Louisville, with the best wishes of
Mary Anderson de Navarro, a loyal
lover of Kentucky.”
Miss Phoebe W. Cousins of St. Louis,

perance and Mormon legislation before
congress, is in Washington to take
part in the campaign this winter for
the restoration of the canteen to the
army and beer to the soldiers’ homes.
Mine. Melba has had her name copy
righted in the United States. She did it
because she found it was being made
dreadfully common by application to
all sorts of theatrical, pharmaceutical
and other goods and preparations. Now
manufacturers and dealers cannot use
the name without getting the great
singer’s permission.
Ancient Warfare.
At the storm of Magdeburg by Tilly
in 1631 this noted authority on the art
of war laid down the general maxim
that after a successful assault the sol
diers ought to have three hours of pil
lage.
The Franks.
The Franks took their name from
the francisques, or battleaxes, which
they threw' with deadly effect.
Coal.
C'oal is comparatively a modern prod
uct. History show’s that it wms first
used in England during the ninth cen
tury. In 1318 the king prohibited its
use on the ground that it w’as injurious
to health, but the high price of wood
finally compelled the Londoners to use
it again.
Cynical La Brujere.
When asked for his married expert
ence La Bruyere replied* jiFew wives
are so perfect that they do not give
their husbands cause at least once a
day to repent of matrimony.”
