Germany. has a Sunday opening question whlah has recently been set tled by agreement between tho partlofl Concerned. It soomn that the people from tho country are In the habit of going to town on Sunday to attend church, and then to do their shopping for the week. The clerks objected to working all day, so It hns boon nr- rnnged thnt from Whitsuntide to Octo ber 1 tho stores shall bo npon from eleven to one o'clock, nnd from Octo- bor 1 to Whitsuntide from eleven to three o'clock, nnd that the grocery and provision stores may be open from eight to nine o'clock In the morning ns well. In .Spain, on the other hand, Sunday has recently been made a day of rest, on which only necessary work may lie done. The new Spanish law also forbids the employment on that day of women and of other persons under eighteen years old. There Is a disposition In many quar ters to ridicule the political ambitions of young men of wealth nnd social po sition who aspire to public office, and the ridicule but thinly veils the serious and oftentimes bitter opposition en countered by cnndldates of this class. The early poverty of American pio neers and the fact that the majority of America's great public men came from humblo walks of life ore respon sible In largo measure for a deep-seated prejudice agulust tiio rich man in politics. In the case of the youthful rich man of inherited wealth this prejudice Is Intensified by a general but erroneous belief that the children of the rich are raised In comparative Idleness nnd nre ignorant of practical affairs. Such a belief applies with much greater truth to the sons ol grent men than to the sons of rich men, but even in tho case of tho for mer the public is apt to mistake tho notable exceptions for the general rule. A large per cent of the elderly rich men of the present day are so-called sell-made men, which term may bo liberally defined ns men with common school educations who by the exercise of natural ability, strength of charac ter and tremudous Industry, ofter aid ed by wide opportunity, have become successful In financial, commercial ami Industrial pursuits. Thoro have been few such men who did not regret the lack of educational advantages in their youth nnd hence the majority wero Inspired to confer every educational benefit possible upon their children. It was Inevitable that such practical nion should not neglect the practical training of their children, although tho nature and amount of such training necessnrlly was regulated by the re ceptive faculties of the pupil. Despite the glaring but sporadic instances of degeneracy In the youthful rich. It may be truthfully stated as a general proposition that the unlimited advan tages thej' have possessed to qualify for the real duties of life have not been neglected and the result is a very de sirable type of young men as a lass. Only class prejudice or domauogism will oppose the advent of those young men In politics without a hcaiim: or an Investigation of their fitness. In nearly every Instance where they have been successful in obtaining public of fice, despite prejudiced opposition, they have displayed Intelligence and a pa triotic desire to serve tho best inter ests of their constituents. The pos session of ample mean has removed the temptations from them which iavo made well-intentioned young men In public life victims of the bribe giver. Wolves Grow m Numbcrn. The wolf is more dreaded of human ty than any other animal. No doubt wo of to-day Inherit that dread from ancestors who had occasion to fear tho ong-fauged quadruped, for there are few portions of tho world to-day where the wolf Is really dangerous to man kind. Dangerous to man's pocket, to his herds and flocks, he is still to-day in many portions of the country. A ranch In Montana or Now Mexico may pay many hundreds of dollars a year for gray wolf scalps. Such a scalp la cheap at $12 or $in to the rancher, for the gray robber would certainly have de stroyed many times that value In calves or colts from the range. Yet In spite of all the warfare made upon them and all the prices put upon their heads these dreaded, mysterious, ghost like, terror-Inspiring creatures still hold their own. Outcasts for ages, hated, persecuted, they still endure, each for himself and without a friend on earth, ernn among his own kind. Last year tho State of Minnesota paid over ?0,000 a month In the host of tho wolf season. One day of tho month of last March the State Auditor paid SC.ir.s.no In wolf bounties. The total for tlir lew months preceding was $;JU,-R-IS.WI On this basis the current year will foot up nearly as much us the two ears preceding, which appears to Indicate that Protlier Wolf is holding his own, oven as a matter of com merce.

To the ends of these chains it Is now the fad to fasten good-sized crosses, preferably ornaments made of stones to match tliose In the chain.

This simple method ins been proved in practice to be ef fective. It forms tho subject of a thrilling fish story that has drifted in rom the Philippines. Un tho northern coast of Luzon a riant octopus was seen swimming near some llshing smacks. A Filipino lisli- rinan, wearing only a breech cloth, mil wholly unarmed, sprang overboard mil attacked tho monster. It Is not made exactly clear why the llsliernian sought battlo with the squid, but eye witnesses agree that the light took place. The daring Filipino grappled two of the tentaeles near the back of tho mon ster and tho tight was on. An Ameri can who claims to have seen it savs It was beyond doubt tho most extraor liuiiry contest that over took place In the Philippines. The weak point In tho octopus is its eyes, and these wero tho objective ol the llsherman. He fought with Id? teeth and hands. When tho octopus felt his grip it dived below tho sur face, but as the water was only up to the Filipino's slioulderj ho succeeded in keeping a foothold. The arms of the octopus were wrapped around the man's body and a black lluid emitted by tho creature discolored the water. Itepcatedly the octopus attempted to lrag the Filipino miner the water, but lie was strong enough to successfully resist. The Filipino kept biting sav tgely at tho eyes of tho octopus. The tight lasted llfteen minutes. At the ad of that time the octopus had lost both eyes and gave up the light. Its tentacles were as large as a man's ivrlst and measured fifteen feet across. Uthough severely bruised, tho Filipino iiistaiued no dangerous Injury. All IJ ii tit tcrcd Thought.
