A 8ery-looVlng party with his hand (tuck Into the bosom of his coat and bit tuustachioi bristling like the angry fore-front of war walked iuto the Washington Star office the other morning and approached the editor of the crank department, -Excuse me, air." he said, with a rweeping bow, "but may I speak with you a moment on a matter of Import ance?" The editor wondered whether It vai going to be a dime or a quarter, but told the visitor to proceed. "I want to publish a card In your paper, sir, but before doing so I de sire to obtain a few facta relative thereto." "Go on with your rat-kllllng," ald the editor, with pleasing and easy fa miliarity. The visitor frowned slightly but vent on. "I desire to ask, sir," he said, "If there la any probability of war be tween the United States and Great Britain." "None In the least" ; "Nor any with Spain?" "Still less." "Do you know of any other country we may have trouble with?" "None." "And would you say we shall have ft period of absolute peace for the next ten years?" "I'll bet my salary for that time oa It In advance." "Then if you will be so kind I would he pleased to have you publish this article in your valuable Journal over my signature, sir," and the visitor ex tended a formidable looking document, tied with red tape, toward the editor. "What is it about?" Inquired the editor, taking It gingerly. The visitor straightened himself up proudly. "It is an appeal, sir, to the patriots Of this great and glorious republic, sir, to defend the nation's honor at what ever cost of blood and treasure, sir, and that article announces that I desire to enlist a thousand men at once who will be ready at a moment's notice to lay down their lives with me at their head In defense of liberty and our na tive land. We must defy all foreign governments, sir, and effete monarch ies, and I desire to go upon the record, air, as a patriot with blood to shed upon my country's altar." The editor applauded the valor of the visitor, told him there were hun dreds like him and took the communi cation under advisement where it still Is. SUFFRAGE A GOOD THINQ. Hi Practical Working In Australlla Meat with tba Approbation of Man. Mrs. Henry Hirst, an Australian au thor, according to the New York World, in some recent remarks on the effect of woman's franchise in New Zealand, said among other things: "Men of all Bhades of political opin ion and at daggers drawn on other points agree that the granting of the vote to women has been beneficial to the colony. "Mr. Seddon, the premier, has said: 'Woman's Influence at the elections and since has been productive of much good; they are looking well after the Interests of their children, the mitiga tion of the liquor traffic, the altera tion of the Jail, regulations with re gard to having female inspectors for women, and other vital affairs.' "The leader of the opposition 'be lieved that the women had done much to purify the "house," and that their Influence would yet be more beneficial in the Bame dlrectii, V "The consensus of colonial opinion appears to be that the express tendency of the female vote is in favor of pro moting the solid happiness of the In dividuals who compose the commun ity. "Domestic life has not been dis turbed or even ruffled by the female portion of the household possessing votes, and the women In the exercise of their new privileges have shown eound Judgment, great discretion and no small amount of independent thought. "In several Instances women have headed the class lists in Melbourne university: out of nine scholarships one was divided between a lady and a gentleman, three were carried off by women, and of two bachelor of science degrees, one was taken by a woman, another lady gaining one of the two degrees of master of science." Woman the Triumph of Creation. A new argument for the general su periority and all-rightneBs of women was advanced recently at the Profes sional Woman's league. The speaker, Dr. Wilcox, was telling of a discussion she once had with a Virginia clergy man, who believed that women were quite inferior to men In intellect "You believe in the Bible?" she asked.. "You believe in the first two chapters of Genesis? Well, if you will cast your mind over the history told in those two chapters you will find that in the creation God began with the lowest. Inanimate things came first, then the lower animals, up through the differ ent grades, and what was the last thing he created?" "Man," was the triumphant answer. "Indeed, no. When God had created man he was quite dissatisfied. He then made woman and has rested ever since." New York Herald. Vry er. There Is an. educational power in prayer. It brings blessing into the heart; new power and new life comes into the soul when communing with God. Prayer has more power than singing or Instrumental music Rev. J. R. Sampey. CECIL RHODES' WORK. la till Tooth 11 Hal Acjolr4 a ror tana. When vague rumors first got about that Germany had formed the concep tion of establishing colonies in Africa the reports were ridiculed by Ixrd Granville, then secretary of state for foreign affairs, on the ground that the Germans were not a colonizing pople. and It was evidently felt by himself and his colleagues In Mr. Gladstone's government of that day that GiTinany was not and never would become a seri ous competitor of Great Britain in any part of the world outside Europe, says the Contemporary Review. Owing to the prevalence of this opinion in the minds not only of the government of the day but of most well-informed peo ple in England, Germany, aa a matter of fact, stole a march on Great Britain. About this time the Transvaal, which had a few years before regained Its In dependence, conceived the project of stretching across Dechuanaland and Joining hands with the German protec torate on the west coast. Freebootlng expeditions set out from the Transvaal and established la Bechuanaland the republics of Stellaland and Goschen. The understanding between the Ger mans and the Boers of which co much has been heard really dates from this time. A few far-seeing believers in the British Imperial Idea then per ceived what the carrying out of this design would mean for British supre macy in South Africa. It would cut the Cape Colony entirely off from ex tension northward Into the admittedly rich and promising regions beyond the confines of the colony. Long before this time explorers like Thomas Balnes, Hartley and others had sent home glowing reports of the riches hidden In the sol! of Matabeleland, Ma shonaland and the adjoining terri tories. The one man who must be credited with the practical frustration of this scheme Is Mr. Cecil Rhodes, who was then quite a youth, sitting as an unofficial member of the Cape assem bly, but had already acquired a for tune In the diamond fields at Klmber- ly. The Imperial government, having been tardily aroused to the danger, dis patched Sir Charles Warren with a military expedition to protect British Interests In Bechuanaland and to set tle the tribal disputes which were being fostered by the Boers at the time, the eventful result of which was, thanks largely to Mr. Rhodes, who had been appointed assistant commissioner of the disorganized territories that the Boers had to haul down the flag which they had hoisted in their petty new re publics and a British protectorate was proclaimed over the whole area. BRITAIN'S NEW-WORLD FORCES Headquarters of English Possessions Arc at narbaduea. Halifax, N. S., 2,400 miles from Eng land, possesses a magnificent harbor, which is the principal winter port of Canada and the entrepot of a consid erable trade with the West Indies, South America and Great Britain, says the National Review. It is also the headquarters of our North American squadron of seven cruisers, whose ar senal, coal yard and dry dock are well protected by the fortress. The garri son consists of two companies of artil lery, two companies of engineers and one battalion of infantry. The .Ber mudas, consisting of 100 islands, situ ated 580 miles east of Carolina, In the United States, possesses a fortified har bor and floating dock capable of afford ing minor repairs to cruisers. Its gar rison comprises two companies of ar tillery, two companies of engineers and one battalion of infantry. Jamaica, ninety miles south of Cuba, has one fortified coaling station, several unde fended harbors, but no dock. Its gar rison is one company of artillery, one and one-half compiles of West India engineers, half batuiion West India troops, and one and three-eights bat talions British Infantry. St. Lucia, an Island situated 200 miles north of Venezuela, has in the past been the scene of many a desperate fight be tween French and English, in conse quence of which it frequently changed hands during the laat century. Port Castries one of the finest harbors ia the West Indies is a fortified naval de pot and coaling station In which war ships can coal close alongside the wharf. There Is no dock. Its garrison comprises one company of British and one c&9ir.any of St. Lucia artillery and a small detachment of infantry. The headquarters of the English posses sions in the West Indies are at Barba does, where we have one section of West India engineers, one and flve eighths battalions British and half a battalion of West India Infantry. Kipling and Stockton. Rudyard Kipling and Frank R. Stock ton met each other at a reception some time ago. The latter Informed the fam ous Englishman that he seriously con templated a visit to India. "I'm glad to hear it," exclaimed Kipling enthu siastically. "You see," he went on, "I know just what we'll do with you over there when we get you away from your friends and family. We'll lure you Into the Jungle and hare you seized and bound by our trusty wallahs. We'll have you turned over on your back and get one of our biggest elephants to stand over you with its forefoot poised above your head. Then I'll say in my most insinuating way: 'Come now, Stockton, which was it The Lady or the Tiger?' "New York Journal. Jeans.

And how could he if that none were fashioned of celluloid, gold, platinum or even a baser metal? ask the New York World. "Building a nose" sounds queer, and yet that ia Just what sur geon are doing almost every day. Every surgeon who possesses mechan ical ability enough to be called a "plas tic aurgeon" will take a contract to build a nose just as a builder takes a contract for building a house. The operator. In the rase of a man, the bony portion of whose noe has been destroyed, first removes the dead bone until he finds healthy bone. He is then ready to proceed with the building. Holes are drilled Into the sound bone for the reception of the metallic frame work which ia to sup port the flesh that will give the nose the appearance of having its natural bony and cartilaginous support Probably the most famous case of nose-building Is that of the late' Dr. Thomas Sabine. The operation was performed at Bellevue hospital. The patient's nose had been entirely de stroyed by a disease called lupus. The surgeon transplanted the middle finger of the patient's hand to replace the nose. To the house eurgeon fell the task of destroying the nail. For this he used a powerful acid. In relating hla experience recently he said that he sup posed his work had proved successful, but after the finger had been trans planted he found that the nail was in clined to grow again, and he was obliged to use the acid repeatedly be fore it was finally destroyed. There are surgical records of other similar cases In many of which the nail had grown on the "finger nose." In ordinary cases where only the bony portion of the nose has been de stroyed, celluloid Is said to prove most satisfactory, as it Is better borne in living tissues than any other substance. A case was recently shown at the Academy of Medicine. The patient was a young man whose nasal bones had been destroyed through diseases. The ekln had fallen into the cavity. The shape of his nose was restored by an aluminum tripod. The surgeon drilled a hole In the frontal bone for the reception of one branch of the ap paratus, while the other branches fitted Into boles which had been drilled in the upper Jawbone. To the untrained eye the nose had every appearance of being normal. Had Many Off era. Africa is the greatest place In the world for the new woman and the old maid. For the former it has its charms that would put the Bols de Boulogne in a total eclipse, and for the old maids it Is a tropical paradise, where young, unmarried men, bloom in wild, tangled luxury the year around. Mrs. May French Sheldon, the African explorer, writer and lecturer, Is neither a new woman nor and old maid, and yet she had sixty proposals of marriage In one day from sixty separate and distinct chiefs, each of whom was more stalwart and ardent than the others, and Mrs. French Shel don was compelled to give each separ ately the marble heart. And as for the new woman, why, the African ex plorer says they can give our brand newest bloomer-rlggcd species any number of cards and spades and then discount them. Bebe Bwana, the woman master, or the white queen man, as the merry sultans and dusky chiefs called Mrs. French Sheldon, ha penetrated farther into the mysterious heart of that dark continent than any other white woman has ever done, and the other day she told a reporter a number of interesting experiences which she had among the many tribes she visited. The sixty offers of marriage were made one afternoon after she had form ally received the sultan of one of the interior districts in her tent which tent, by the way, Mrs. French Sheldon always arranged as near like a boudoir in a well-appointed private house as was possible. She was the first white woman who had ever Invaded that district and the sultan appreciated the honor and In his poor weak way tried to give a sort of torchlight procession and strawberry festival in her honor. His resources, however, were extreme ly limited, and after he had sacrificed a double portion of goats and had salaamed before her until he was threatened with curvature of the spine he felt that something was still lack ing and that his guest was not thor oughly enjoying herseif. Suddenly a happy thought struck him. Whenever a straggling white man had wandered in to his preserves it had been his cus tom to unload sixty or eighty wives upon him and then dismiss him with a sultanlc "Bless you, my children.' Why not reverse the ceremony with the woman master? he argued to his secretary of state for war. The secre tary thought it was a capital Idea and the chiefs of all the tribes or assembly districts were ordered before his ma jesty and ordered to propose to the Bele Bwana at once. A General Census. A general, simultaneous census of the world for the year 1900 Is asked for by the International Statistical Insti tute. It can be taken if slight modifi cations in the time of their regular censuses are mad" by the chief coun tries of the world. Portupal, Den mark, the United States, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Hun gary and Sweden will regularly take their censuses on different days of the 5 ear 1900, Holland on the last day ot 1803, Norway on the first day of 1901, and Grent Britain, France and Italy later in that year.
