II.—The message re¬ ceived the other day by the republic of France, tbe largest iu Europe, from tbe republic of Andorra, the smallest in the world, was a surprising thing. It was instigated by » Spanish prelate and pos¬ sessed other qualities than tbat of being a surprise It was amusing and at the same time significant, and while it can¬ not be said to have been important in the sense that would attach to such a eommunicaMqfdf Andorra were » larger state, yet tbsp ia likely to be consider¬ able diplomatic oorreapondence before tbe last word is beard about it Tbe republic of Andorra baa a popu¬ lation of but 9,000 souls, and it is be¬ cause of its numerical insignificance, coupled with tbe unique physical territory, char¬ acteristic* of its location and tbat it lias been able to preserve a vir¬ tual independence sinoe tbe time of the “emperor with tbe long beard," Charle¬ magne, who gave it its autonomy. It is situated in a narrow, secluded vale, high up in the Pyrenees, that noble range tbat divides France from Spain. All about it are high rooky mountain walls, which at paints rise into impos¬ ing pine clad peaks, that stand watch aad ward over the handful of men and women who live and toil below. Over the territories of France and Spain the red tide of war has surged back and forth. Waged between the two fiery na¬ tions, it has reached across the range more than once, but through it all, when thrones have crumbled and dynas¬ ties bare changed, Andorra bas been at peaca Its people, simple in their lives, primitive in their thought, have been content to let the ontside world worry and fight, while they have attended to their own small affairs. As in matters ot war, so it has been in mental and material things. Andorra has slept while the world has rushed by, and the Andorran* of today transact their affairs, eat, sleep and clothe themselves as did their ancestors of hundreds of years pgo. Only at rare intervals has the outside world even remembered that there was aa Andorra, and then il has almost always been only because some writer at books or maker of pictures has sought out the vale and made known some at the quaint things there apd no- whore else existing outside the realm ot fancy. with Although possessing autonomy certain of An¬ regard to internal affairs, dorra’s outside matters have always been controlled by a sort of joint suzerainty between France and Spain, the former’s control being direct, while that of Spain has been through the bishop of UrgeL It is he who put up the Andorrans to send the message spoken of, wherein France was notified that in future she must cease to mind the affairs at her small neighbor. Its people feel now, they say, that with the bishop’s help they can get along very well alone. Two or three years ago this same bishop of Urgel declared that no telegraph wire oould pass over Andor¬ ran territory, for he held the telegraph to be an, invention of satan. Just how this matter turned out I do not remem¬ ber, and perhaps few others ontside those directly interested do either, for hurrying men of affairs have more im¬ portant matters to think and worry and talk about. The bishop’s authority, it will be observed, is well nigh as great as that of a monarch, and it is quite likely that he controls the elections. In that case he ia as much of a boss as even was Mr- Croker of New York, of whom Paris has heard reoently. The bishop’s influence and that of his predecessors, however, must have always been salu¬ tary, for we are told tbat crime bas been unknown in Andorra since the close of the seventeenth century. The people still speak with something pike aWe of the last instance. It was the out¬ come of a love affair and was not a very heinous offense. Lawsuits seem to be almost as rare as crime, and there are but two notaries in all Andorra. They receive small fees for their services, but all other publio du¬ ties are performed gratuitously. All able bodied adult male Andorrans are nomi¬ nally members of tho army, so that the republic has quite a military force, but its martial duties are light, for the last recorded engagement occurred more than 1,000 years ago. The state is governed by a select council of 84 members, elect¬ ed each year, and a president, chosen for life from among tbe oldest and wis¬ est men. From this it will appear that great respect is paid to age. This is ren¬ dered more apparent “even by the fact that the oldest member of each family is its nominal and actual head and is obeyed implicitly by all the others. It is to be hoped that the recent action of the council in cutting loose from France will not tend to destroy the almost ideal and wholly quaint customs and life of the people of the tiny state.

Strong Men Unable te More Her from Her Tracks— Children Weigh a Toa Kach Whan Un.ler Her Power—She Weighs What She Please* on the Scale*. Other Wonderful Test*. New Yokk, 8ept. 23.—A'little slip of a woman, who Weighs 98 pounds, stood in a parlor of the Sturfwaut Hook* and played the very mischief with the law of weight* and several other laws, totha consternation of many distinguished physicians, who were as completely at a loss to explain the exhibition as were ths laymen who saw it. Mrs. Annie Abbott is so small in ap¬ pearance that it seemed that any able- bodied man could lift her from the floor but if Mrs. Abbott doesn’t wish to be lifted she is harder to raise than a car window. This strange and has inexplioaUe made her power which she possesses famous in other parts of -the world, but it has never before been seen in New York. Iu Germany she has stirred up a fine row among wise professors, and she has •idled for Europe to help some Gt the professors out, for they have gone to law over a book written about her. She intended starting sooner, but her de¬ parture was delayed by a nervous at¬ tack, and Dr. Thomas H. Bailey was called to attend her. He was so com¬ pletely flabbergasted by Mrs. Abbott that he decided, in the interest of sci¬ ence, to make it pleasant for his learned friends, who langhed at him when he told them about the strange woman. So he arranged for the exhibition just passed. Mrs. Abbott made said a little- speech to begin with. She she wouldn’t call it anything; she would make some tests, and those who saw it could call tbe power what they liked. And if they could explain to her just what it was she would be very much obliged. She didn’t know anything about magnet¬ ism nor hypnotism She nor electricity nor occultism.

She called her daughter, who is 12 years old, aud who wore a lift yellow dress, and asked the doctor to the little girl. The doctor, who came forward, was a big man. He picked np the ohild with¬ out difficulty. lift her,” the wise “It is easy to said man. “Now we will try smiling. the experiment,” “I’ll place said Mrs. Abbott, one hand on her spine, between the shoulders.

Now then!” The doctor drew The ohild a long breath slightly and began to lift. was raised and then sank back again. The man tagged and pnlled harder than ever. “Lemme get a better hold,” he said, breathlessly. Then he clasped the girl about the waist and pulled harder than ever. Suddenly the ohild shot into the air. “The doctor’s hands came in con¬ tact, ” explained Mrs. Abbott. “When that occurs I no longer have any con¬ trol.” They tried this experiment and de¬ monstrated its trnth. Three soiled, grinning urchins from the street were brought upon the platform. They and the little girl elapsed hands and four strong men gathered behind them. The men made individual attempts to lift the youngsters, and, each failed. “Now, then, all together," said Mrs. Abbott, and the four men began to tug away at the children who had 1 elapsed hands. Not one little foot left the floor, although the men tugged until their faces looked like lobsters. Mrs. Abbott Said she wanted 15 or 18 men to come on the platform. So Dr. Bailey and his wise brethren, some of whom weighed more than 250 pounds, stood up. She arranged them in a line, one man grasping the front man by the coat collar, while the other hand was placed in the small of tjhe back. of Mrs. the Abbott placed herself at the head line, which looked as if it was about to break into the physician’s. lookstep. She placed her bands on a “Now, push me through the wall, if you can,” she said. They did their level best and it seemed that Bhe must be driven clear through into the street. But the line oollapsed like a jackknife. The physician Mrs. Abbott whom scarcely she budged. hands said he upon felt placed whatever. her no pressure When this was over every one gath¬ ered about Mrs. Abbott aud looked upon her with opeu mouths. It was a trifle uncanny, but it was nothing compared with what followed. A pair of ordinary platform scales was brought in from the storeroom of the hotel. The storekeeper came along to do the weighing. “We’i! ”^aid have my weight the first thing, Mrs. Abbott, briefly. She stepped on the scales, the store- keeper began to fnss with the weight. He moved it back and forth in the most eccentric fashion. He became nervous and the perspiration dripped from his brow. “What does she weigh?” asked an im¬ patient “I don’t man. know,” the reply. was “Can’t you weigh her?” “She weighs anything from 70 pounds up. declared She can weigh the storekeeper, anything she and wants Mrs. to,” langhed. Abbott Dr- Townsend came forth to assist in the test He was found to weigh 195 pounds. A board was placed over the scales. The hands doctor Mrs. was Abbott’s told to plaoe his bare on neck and then bear upon her with all his weight while she stood ou the scales. He did so and the combined weight of the two was less than 100 pounds. and then A man took Mrs. Abbott’s plaoe the weight was 280 pounds. Dr. Town¬ send climbed upon Mrs. Abbott’s back while she was on the scales. The com¬ bined weight was 140 pounds. Now, flow in tfte world can a woman weighs weighs 98 pounds and ordinary a man pair 195 get on an scales and weigh only 140 who That’s just what everyone saw test wants to know. Then another man, who lift was also big and powerful, tried to Mr*. while she stood on th% scales. couldn’t badge her, although vessel he and hard enough to burst a blood did sacrifice several buttons.

Keep your toes down.” That man tugged until the blood seemed about to buret from his veins. He could raise the ohild on his toes, but the toes would not leave the floor. Dr. Frauenthal tried. He could do no bet¬ ter. No man there ooold lift the little chap free of the floor. After it was all over the doctors talked gath¬ it ered about Mrs. Abbott and over. When they were asked their opinion they spoke as did Dr. Bailey: “I can’t explain it. There isn’t any explanation. You can’t doubt the evi¬ dence of your own senses, but you cart 1 explain it in any way. It simply is, aud tbat is all any one can say. ” LIKE W HEEL SPOKES.
