A queer shipment went from Chica
go the other day, billed for Rursia. It
consisted of some bales of second-hand
cotton socks and stockings. There is
a scarcity of cotton in Russia, and it
is said the old hosiery will be nnravel
eu and used in making cotlot) cloths.
After exhaustive fumigation, which
was probably needed, the shipment
was permitted to pass the Russian
consulate.
In case of war with Spain an inter
eating question in refsrence to life in
surance would arise. In nearly al! in
stances policies would be void in case
the holder went to the war. B.une of the
policies contain war clauses by which
they hold good, but the rates are in
creased when this is the case. This
will he a big question with the insur
ance companies,as an immense amount
of money is involved iu life insurance
in this country.
In case of war with Spain the Perry
Rifles will go to the front with as large

Probably the most expensive scholar
in the country, not through any fault
of hi*, however, is being educated at
Alton, 111. He is 8 years old, and is as
black as the proverbial ace of spades
He occupies, with a corps of teachers,
a large and costly new school building,
and the expense of training hie young
mind is said to be not lees than
$1,18608 per annum. The reason for
this extraordinary state of affairs is
that the little negro boy in question is
the only scholar that will attend
school in the fine new building which I
has been provided for the exclusive use
of colored pupils. The other blacks
insist upon the privilege of going to

A SEEMING DISCREPANCY.
Tha Dear I*o Has Hot Daughter*. I»-
tersst at Stake.
She 1* a lady whose husband has ao
cumnlated a large share of this world’s
good* She does not care bow ranch
anything costs and desire* people to
know that she doesn’t care. So it was
not through any fear that she was no*
‘ getting her mcoey’s worth that she re
proved her youngest daughter, who had
been practicing at the piano. The little
girl’s effects had been harrowingly per
sfetesit and dutiful, and she was hurt as
well as surprised when her mother in
dignantly remarked:
"Dolly, I am compelled to remind
you that w* have employed the best
teacher in the city for your musical ed
ucation and that as we propose to spare
no expense in the future you ought to
be more conscientious in laying a foun
dation. You will gain nothing by slight
ing the work now. I am determined
that you shall learn to play the piano
no matter what it costs.’’
"I was practicing faithfully," the
pupil protested.
"My dear, do not attempt to deceive
your mother. ”
“But you heard me practicing, didn’t
you?”
“It may be,” was the chilly re
joinder, "that your mother’s advantages
in early life were not so great as those I
intend that you shall enjoy. Rut there
is one study in which 1 was always
good, and it will be useless for you to
attempt to mislead me in anything con
nected with it. That is arithmetic. * ’
"I never said you weren’t splendid in
arithmetic, but that hasn’t anything to
do with my piano playing. ” •
"Unless my eyes are at fault those
are five finger exercises that you are
now supposed to be working on. ”
••Yes. ”
••Very well. Do not think that I for
get myself so far as to speak in anger.
But I should very much like to know
what you mean by trying to play five
finger exercises with both hands. ”—De
troit Free Press.
THE COST OF TRAINS.
Passenger Coache. More Expensive Than
Many Vine Houaea.
“Ninety-fivq per cent of the traveling
public do not own in their own right or
occupy through rental a dwelling house
which, including all its contents, costs
as much as one of the ordinary modern
passenger cars run on any first class
railroad.”
The foregoing statement, which is cal
culated to arouse the incredulity of the
average individual, was made recently
by George J. Charlton, assistant general
passenger and ticket agent of the Chi
cago and Alton railroad.
"Just let me give you a few facts to
prove that assertion,” continued Mr.
Charlton. "The cost of the average
passenger car today is from $6,000 to
$7,000. A reclining ehair car costs from
SIO,OOO to $12,000. These figures repre
sent the bare cost of the car. When you
add to that from year to year the ex
penses of maintenance, instead of figur
ing. as the ordinary business mortal
will figure, a return in interest for the
capital invested you simply aggravate
the situation.
"I once heard a prominent master car
builder say that it cost S6OO to simply
look over a oar after it had served five
or six months on the road and had been
sent to the carshops to be examined
and put into presentable shape for an
other six months’ run. He meant that
the ordinary ‘dressing down’ and clean
ing of a car would cost over SSOO, and
if you extend your investigation to gen
eral shop repairs—perhaps adding a lit
tle upholstering here and there—yon
could easily get away with another
SSOO. ” —Kansas City Journal
The Trees of Paris.
Paris is probably the only city in the
world which has trees that bloom*twice
a year habitually. These are the horse
chestnuts. There are 17,000 of them
planted in the squares and along the
boulevards, and 26,000 buttonwood*
The tree* in Paris are numbered, just
like the people, the cabs, the animals,
the lampposts and the matches. These
horse chestnuts have only been doing
this trick for.about five years, and only
•ome of them, have made a practice of
it. These die, or apparently die, in the
latter part of July, and all the leaves
fall off. A month or so afterward they
all come qut into flower again and little
green leaves*shoot forth continually un
til they are nipped by the first frost
There is a reason for this, and the sci
entists worked over the matter for a
long time to be able to explain it.
Briefly and unscientifically the tree*
lose their leaves because they are at
tacked by a little fungus which is blown
upon them by the wind; then, being
still, full of sap, they start*to put forth
leaves all over again.
A Precautionary Meaaure.
"What are you doing now, doctor?”
asked the actress.
"I am taking a snap shot photograph
of you, madam, ” responded the-dentist,
"so that if any unpleasant consequences
follow this operation and you*sue me
far damages for the loseof your beauty
I can establish something in tbeoature
of an alibi, a* it were. I am ready now,
