Co., at low prices and on easy terms, in south ern Illinois, the best farm country in the world for either large or small fruits, orchards, dairying, raising stock or sheep. A greater variety of crops, with a greater profit, can be grown on a less amount of lands in this country than can be railed in any other portion of fbis stale. Don’t go elsewhere to buy lands for farms until you see Southern Illinois. All sales made, exclusively by the land commissioner, I. C. R. R. Co. Special inducements and facilities offered by the Illinois Cential railroad company to go and examine these lands. For full description and map, and any information, address or call upon E. P.

Dimitry Iwanoff, the head and front of the Imperial Russian troupe of singers and dancers from St. Peters burg, is a man of impressible spirit and exceedingly adaptable in tempera ment When he arrived in Chicago he had been only two days in America, yet he was already engaged in a hand to-hand, or rather word-to-word, en counter with the English language. Dike all Russians Iwanoff looked on the learning of the language as a mere bagatelle, and before his first week in Chicago was over he felt that the English language had been taken captive by him—phrase, idiom and syllable. One evening he was stand ing in the rear part of the Trocadero auditorium, talking to Dr. Ziegfeld, in the same little group with Mr. Robinson of the Trocadero board of directors, and Mr. Kirke La Slielle, press representative. Presently' Dr. Ziegfeld was called away for a mo ment, and Mr. Robinson, feeling that somebody was due to say something, turned to IwauoiT and inquired: “Getting so you understand English pretty well?” Iwanoff caught the words “under stand” and “English,” and replied with lofty superiority and a magnifi cent flourish: "f “.Blenty! Ulenty!” Whereupon La Shelle took him by the arm confidentially and said: “Do you believe the nebular hypoth esis reducible to ordinary comprehen sion by means of the differential cal culus?” “Eh?” said Iwanoff, somewhat staggered. The question was repeated. “Oh!” said Iwanoff, smiling blandly, perfectly satisfied with this explana tion. “You spik quick!” CALLING UP TRAVELERS. A Brace of Odd Experiences in Western Towns. Every traveling man has had his ex perience with the intelligent bell boy who “calls” for the early train. “I was pounding my ear pretty live ly one night in a Texarkana hotel,” said a Texas man, “when a big thump ing on my door brought me up sitting in bed. “ ‘What is it?’ I asked. “ ‘Boss!’ said the darky, ‘is you de man what wants to go on de 2 o’clock train to Big Sandy?’ “I had left no ‘call’ and I made that darky understand so in a few short words. He tackled the nest door, and I heard him ask again: “ ‘Boss, is you de man what wants to go on de 2 o’clock train to Big Sandy?* “The answer was terrific. The darky was awed. For about fire min* utes he was still as if absorbed in thought Then I heard him say to himself in an argumentative tone: “ ‘Dar’s some ’un in dis hall who wants to go on de 2 o’clock train to Big Sandy. I dun forgot de number.’ “He went down the line repeating the performance at seven doors before he reached the man who wanted to go ‘on de 3 o’clock train to Big Sandy.’ ” An Illinois man thought he could parallel this evidence of sagacity. He said: “I stopped one night in the hotel at Sbawneetown, and left a ‘sure call’for the boat which was expected along about 4 a. m. I went to bed and slept peacefully until the racket at the door aroused me. “ ‘All right,’ I said. “ ‘Mr. Jones! Mr. Jones!’ sang out the darky. ‘You wanted to catch de Padooky boat? Well, dey an’t no use o’ you getting up. De boat’s don gone, Bah.’ ” _ SMALLEST BIRDS ALIVE. Two Diminutive Bat Lively S'peel menu Ornithological Captured In Cuba. Two of the smallest birds in the world, and the only two known to be in captivity, have been attracting a great deal of attention in the window, of F. H. Underhill, 1438 Broadway, New York. They are known as the pajara mosca, or “fly eaters,” and were brought to this country from Cuba some days ago by Senor Pubil lones. He controls the circus priv ileges of the island and ,is familiarly Known as me "ijiiue jjarnum. The birds are about one-third smaller than the humming birds of this country, to which family they be long. lleing so diminutive and flying with remarkable swiftness, it is almost impossible to catch them, and it was only by an accident that these specimens were captured.1 A laborer discovered the nest while the birds were fledglings, and he placed a bottomless cage over the nest, and kept it there until the birds wene strong enough to fly. They are fed on honey diluted with water, and in order to reach this the little creatures keep themselves sta tionary in the air by the lightning like motion of their wings and plunge their long narrow bills repeatedly into the vessels. Jimmy Wakeley’s offer of 950 for the pair has been re fused. Character In Eyebrows. Highly-arched eyebrows are said to denote vivacity and brilliancy; level brows, strength of intellect; regularly curved eyebrows express cheerfulness; square ones, deep thought; irregular fickleness, versatility, excitability; raised at the inner corner, melancholy; 'oined over the nose; an unsettled mind. Thick and bushy eyebrows de note physical strength. BoolangUt Bill-Posters. The largest use of placards on record was prior to the Paris election in 1889. General Boulanger had 15,000 bill-stickers, who put up 45,000 daily, in all 900,000. In some places, when they, were torn down after the elee tion, there were found sixty layers ot bills alternating with those of Boul anger's rival. •» ■ fX; y ' A V V I®; J* .. ,-v. C. THEY FOUGHT WITH CABS. Willie Wllile’n Koval Duel With Marqola da Lauvllte. There have been duels with pistols and with broadswords, and with pike staves and with stilettos, and with tarantulas and with bucking broncos, but it has remained for Willie Wilde and the marquis de Leuvllle to fight a dnel with hansom cabs and cab horses. This is the only reasonable explana tion of the lamentablo event upon the streets of London recently. These two mon have been more or less inti mato with a well-known woman. One' of them, in fact, has been her hus band for a few months. Their re lations to each other became so strained that honor demanded that blood should be shed. So the dues was arranged. To avoid police interference hansom cabs were seleoted and each man was to ride in the cab selected by the other. The marquis entered Willie's cab, and so wisely had the kinsman of the sun flower prophet chosen that his rival was soon thrown to the pavement. The stones broke the bridge of his nose and the horse kicked him In the side and broke one of his riba Willie escaped unharmed. This incident illustrates again the Ingenuity of the English. Duels in France never end except with the best of feeling on both sidea There is no desire to hurt any one. If we must have duels let us fol low the example of the Parisians. The hansom cab is too dangerous and er ratic a weapon to be handled care lessly. __ ADVANTAGE OF SLOW TRAVEL. The Old-Style Transatlantic Journey and That of the Racing Liner. The slower-going steamer, say 300 to 350 miles a day, has decided advant ages over the racer. To attain a high speed enormous propelling power is required and the ocean greyhound is liko a great machine shop, the pulsa tions of the machinery jarring every portion of the boat. To doable the speed of a vessel at sea the power must be cubed. The vessel to plow through the water at twenty-four miles per hour must displace twice as much water in an hour as it does when going at twelve miles per hour. That would require twice the power. But in addition to this AT. __A__A T_J!_1_A 1 _ 1..1J the time, and that requires the power to be doubled again. So that a vessel which would consume five tons of coal in an hour going at a rate of twelve miles, would consume, all other condi tions being equal, twenty tons per hour if the speed is increased to twen ty-four miles. After all there are at tractions in the old style of going to Bea, with its leisurely gait, its perfect rest, its absolute change from all the conditions of life on land, which are superior, in the judgment of many people, to the five or six days of hotel life between New York and Liverpool on one of the “liners.” WITH OTHELLO’S KINSMEN. In the Moorish Palace Are Wonders Great and Small From Every Land. In the Moorish palace at the world’s fair there are packed as many wonders as a man can well see in a day. At the very entrance the visitor 4 trans ported at once to sunny Spain, and finds himself amidst a grove of real palm trees gazing at the far-famed Alhambra, with its rich hued arches and porticos, while groups of Arabs here and there lend realism to the scene. But he need not stay there long. On one side the harem of the sultan is seen; on another the monster kalei descope, in which a few spectators are multiplied into millions. Then there are the galleries of waxworks, wherein may be found many excellent likenesses of the world’s greatest he roes and villains. The diorama, representing the exe cution of Marie Antoinette, possesses remarkable realism, which is enhanced by the fact that the scaffold and guil lotine are those actually used in the tragedy. The optical illusion, illus- . trating the story of Pygmalion and Galatea, is also a clever device. uiie oi yunmjr. As a magnificent steamer, the prop erty of the Peninsular and Oriental company, was steaming into South ampton harbor, a grimy coal-lighter floated immediately in front of it An officer on board the vessel, observing this, shouted: “Clear out of the way with that barge.’" The lighterman, a native of the Emerald isle, shouted in reply: “Are ye the captain of that, vessel?” “No,” answered the officer. “Then spake to yer aiquals,” said Pat “I’m the captain of this." American Pearl*. v * It is a rare thing to find a really lustrous pearl in an American oyster, but a great many such pearls are found in the common fresh water mussel. The pearl-bearing mussel is distributed over a wide area in the United States, and extremely valuable mussel pearls have been found in New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee and several other states. An occasional black pearl of some value is found in the native oyster. An Ameriean IdoL Archbishop Alarcon has presented the national museum at the City of Mexico with a stone head of an idol which, until its discovery by some Catholic missionaries a short time ago,' was still being worshiped by the In dians in the 6tate of Merelos. The head was on a statue of immense size, covered with a crocodile’s hide. ' Written In Prison. Many a good book has been written In prison. Socrates, Cervantes, Bun yan, Defoe, Lovelace, Tasso, Beranger, Raleigh, George Wither and James Montgomery all continued their liter ary labors while suffering from a cur tailment of liberty. -W ■i .'-.3».!• ■ —/jjg* 'he *»«• ■ °u Wi|[ pr^r^ rr~+*JJ~?
