It : sometimes happens that the wom- In who Is disappointed in love isn't lisappoimed in marriage. It is announced that Alaska's great fcfjed is wagon roads. We thought cli- bate was its principal lack. It Is quite probable that a speedily forthcoming theatrical venture will be The Van Wormer Brothers. " Thus we oee that if an editor says Kxmething severe about you in his pa- er , and you kill him , it is a case of lelf-defenae. David M. Parry will go right ahead lolviug the labor problem unless he Jap be diverted to the Mary and Ann tontroversy. Another "expert" has discovered the lecret of determining sex at will , and Mature will laugh him to scorn as she las all his predecessors. An easy conscience is one which per- nits you to violate the law with im- Junity so long as the responsible offl- ttate raise no objections. The Sultan of Turkey has levied a keary war tax. Thought the old bird tadn't even a pluckable pin feather ; but Abdsd knows how to use tweezers. Even though the government sci- Iniists prove that people eatNtoo much , It will be a difficult task to effect a reformation unless hard times return. At any rate , Uncle Andy Carnegie ivasn't so blamed anxious to die poor that he accepted United States Steel "preferred" instead of first mortgage bonds. Oh , horrors ! We spend more on shewing gum than on missions ! Ah , but by keeping some jaws busy , other- prise than in talk , we do the best kind 8f mission work. Capital punishment might restrain srinie if all murderers were put to Heath , but no such execution of the Saw is to be expected while human nature is what is is now. An Investigator with a microscope Ind a large stock of patience has found Hit that there are 200 kinds of mos- juitoes. Some men are never happy ixcept when they are digging up trou ble for other people. As safe blowers have learned to use electricity to promote their ends , the himble pickpocket may acquire the art > f the X-ray operator to locate the de- tired purse. In the progress of science the wicked are not without their share. The Shah of Persia still has some I'ery old-fashioned notions. For one thing , he insists on doing his own offi cial poisoning when he wishes to put any of his loving subjects out of the way. Some crowned heads are so fussy aver these things. One hundred and fourteen miles an hour was the speed attained by an Experimental train on a new military railway in Germany , and it is hoped to run a tram at the rate of two hun- Ired miles in the same time. As pre paredness for war means avoidance of i nowadays , this Indicates the Ger- nan disposition to hasten toward peace it a pretty rapid pace. The agreement between Great Bri tain and France for a treaty of ar bitration of commercial and political Differences is the most Important vic tory for the arbitral principle since the establishment of the tribunal of The Hague. Particularly is this agree ment noteworthy because effected be tween traditional enemies who for centuries have been at war. Americans have occasion to regret > ne excellent feature in British ad ministration. Under the system long In use by that government diplomacy Is a profession. Men start at tue bottom tom as attaches or consuls and go up by promotion or merit to the highest place , which is ambassador. This se cures in the service officers who are Acquainted with many countries , who speak many languages and have tro skill in diplomacy acquired by experi ence It is far different from our catch-as-catch-can system , which of fers no career either in consular or diplomatic service. The reluctance with which' some per sons took up the duties of life when the holiday season ended has reminded a correspondent that at the beginning of September the men of the Scotch shipyards sometimes resort to the sporting method of a "toss-up" wheth er they shall return to work or not A brick is thrown into the air. If it stays up the men go back to the yard. If the brick comes down the holiday U extended. To tired persons who be- Jtleve in "luck" and govern their lives accordingly , this experiment can al ways be depended upon to yield satis factory results. The frequency with which dangerous cranks seek to gain access to the presi dent should put an end for all time to those seneeles * public receptions at the president la expected to stand up and let hundreds of peoplt file in and shake his hand. This do ' generate survival of the royal levei I has long been an outrageous nuisance ! It has been used as an advertising card for Washington excursion business and parties of tourists have been taken to the receptions by a guide and put lu line to shake hands with the president. Our president is not a king or a show piece of any kind , but a republican magistrate , with important public busi ness to attend to , and nobody ought to have access to him for the grati fication of Idle curiosity. Few trade movements of receni years have been more notable than the increased demand of our zone for the productions of the tropics. From the United States is now bringing In four times as many pounds of coffee , sugar and rice as it did in 1870 , twice as much tea , five times as much india- rubber , and twenty-six times as much silk. Improvements in transportation have enabled this remarkable develop ment to take place. Better steamship facilities , perfected cold storage ap pliances and the canning industry have brought within reasonable price many fruits which were formerly too expensive for general use. Even ban anas , which are easily transported , sold for eight cents each in country stores in 1ST0 A Harvard professox relates that when he was a student in college he used to welcome an in- vitaticn to dine with a certain family because rhey served bananas. Many other tropical products now abundant ly used were the luxuries of a genera tion ago Their lowering cost on one side and the increased means of the Ameiican p.ibllc on the other have re sulted in au extraordinary increase in their use. Sugar and other articles , which on'j a few years ago were em ployed sparingly in many frugal house holds , have become so cheap that thorn is now little restraint on their use. Similarly , there has been a great in crease in the use of wheat and kero sene oil by the people of the tropics. Very fittingly have the British made botanical gardens a chief object of Interest in many of their tropical cities , like Singapore , or like Kandy in Cey lon. The familiar household names oi their luxuriant trees and shrubs re mind the visitor of the new depend ence of the modern world upon the pe culiar growths of the perpetual sum mer. In New York a woman with thret children walked the streets searching for a home. They found lodging in a basement , and were told to "move on" by the landlord. Her character was all right. She had references. The children were the ordinary kind of boys and girls healthy and noisy. She had money. She couldn't pay for a palace , but she was ready to settle in advance for a modest apartment The children were not wanted. They were the obstacles , impediments , flat nuisances. That is why the landlords said , "Move on. " It is why they say "move on" in other cities. It isn't right. If our boasted civilization has reached a point where a place called home has children blacklisted , it isn't home at all If a boycott on the little folks is to be a part of life hi a flat , then flats are by no means a bless ing. This a world of averages. You have got to put up with some things that you do not like , and you should accept the noise made by the neigh bors' children gracefully , and thank God that they can laugh and shout and romp and be happy. The man or woman Who is grouchy because of chil dren isn't right. There must be some thing wrong inside. The life that doesn't include joy In the reflected hap piness of boys and girls is a narrow life. Don't blame the landlords too much. They didn't bar children be cause they are naturally hard-hearted. Grumpy men and fretful women com plained that other people's babies were a nuisance. The gruff old bachelor refused to find any music in the merry laugh of a child , and few women found dogs better company than chil dren. It is business to supply a do- maud , and so the landlords of count less flat buildings rubbed their hands and said to mothers and fathers of fine families : "Very sorry , but we can't rent to you because of your broods. " Once upon a time France discouraged children. It was the great est mjstake ever made-by a nation. Prance has not recovered from the error to this day. Perhaps she never will. Isn't there danger for America' ' in flat regulations that provide that "no children need apply. " Greatest of Cardinal Guiseppi Mezzofanti , who flied in 1849 , surpassed all other men j in linguistic ability. All the tongues , of Babel were gathered together in his tongue , but without confusion. Ha spoke fluently no fewer than 58 differ- snt languages and wrote in more than 30. Lord Byron , who knew him well , 2alled him a "walking polyglot , a mon ster of languages and a Briareus of parts of speech.

"To what do you attribute this al leged decline in the drama ? " "To a very simple fact , " answered Mr. Stormington Barnes.

Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound. MF.S. PINCTASI : A while ago my health began to fail because of female troubles. The doctor did not help me. I remembered that mv mother had used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound on many oc casions for Irregularities and uterine troubles , and I felt sure that it could not harm me at any rate to give it a trial. "I was certainly glad to find that within a week I felt much better , the terrible pains in the back and side were beginning to cease , and at the time of menstruation I did not have nearly as serious a time as heretofore , so I continued its use for two months , and at the end of that time I was like a new woman. I really have never felt better in my life , have not had a sick headache since , and weigh 20 pounds more than I ever did , so I un hesitatingly recommend your medi cine. " MRS.

The influence of food upon the brain nd memory is so little understood that 13ple are inclined to marvel at it. Take a pea-son who has been living m improperly selected food and put lini upon a scientific diet in which tiie ! cod Granei-Xuts is largely used and ( n he increase of the mental power that oilows is truly remarkable. A Canadian \\lu was sent to Color- do for his health illustrates- this point n a most convincing manner : "One ear ago I came from Canada a ner vous wreck , so my physician said , and educed in weight to almost a skele on , and my memory was so poor that conversations had to be repeated that 'md taken place only a few hours be- t'oie. I was unable to rest day or . light , for my nervous system was shat- .ercd. "The change of climate helped me a little , but it was soon seen that this was not all that I needed. I required the proper selection of food , although [ did not realize-it until a friend rec- jmmended Grape-Nuts to me and I ; ave this food a thorough trial. Thn [ realized what the right food could lo and I began to change in my feel- ngs and bodily condition. This kept ip until now after 6 months' use of rape-Nuts all my nervous trouble has . . ' entirely disappeared , I have gained in ' lesh all that I had lost , and what is nore wonderful to me than anything ? Ise iny memory is as good as It ever vas. Truly Grape-Xuts has remade lie all over , mind and body , when I lever expected to be well and happy igain. " Name given by Postum Co. , Hattle Creek. Mich. There's a reason.

Fa eta Shown hv Tccent Geological Observations * The slow sinking of the Atlantic : east is a fact well known to Amer ican geologists , but the definite meas- ireinents of the path of that subsi- lence is a matter of scientific interest , is long ago as 18G8 , the late Prof. Seorge H. Cook , state geologist of S'ew Jersey , Investigated this matter rery carefully , collecting numerous ob- jervations indicative of the encroach ment of the sea on the New Jersey ihore. Later investigations made by the United States geological survey have demonstrated that this Is HO lo- ial occurrence , but a condition char- icteristic of the entire Atlantic sea- Doard. In other parts of the world similar ) bservations have been made. Along the eastern coast of England the sink- ng of the land relative to sea level has been a serious matter during recorded history ; villages lie buried inder the salt marshes and the waves now sweep over submerged forests. On the other side of the North sea , the Norwegian coast is rising rapidly , that ; s , geologically speaking. Observations show that the Scandinavian coasts are oeing elevated at a mean rate of 2.5 feet per century ; the maximum rate it the North Cape being nearly twice is much. The Pacific side of South America is rising rapidly. Charles Darwin , when on the Beagle , having oeen one of the first to draw attention to the raised beaches on the coast of Dhili , where plaited reeds and othe ividences of human handiwork were found buried among marine shell de posits at a height of 85 feet above tide water. Such observations as these , usually Jisregarded by the non-scientific , be- jonae impressive to the average man ivhen he finds , by the evidence of 'andmarks , that the ground under his feet is very unstable. It brings home the great facts which underlie the study of g-eology , and suggests that even the apparently catasti-o/p-hic / events of geologic history , as written > n the pages of rock and s one , are the result of quiet forces acliiug with that anwearied patience "which hardens the ruby in a million years. When Sir Dharles Lyell saw the stupendous folds ind inversions of strata which charac terize the Swiss Alps , he remarked that ill such apparently violent resu'rts might well have taken place without my interruption of the habitable state ) f these mountains , had man been tli in existence , which he was not. Con siderations such as these enlarge the imagination and serve , as astronomy lees , to illustrate the poetry which lies ) f ten buried deep in dust , amdd the dry ? ages of science.

Burghardt du Bols , the author if "Souls of Black Folk , " was educat ed at Harvard and Berlin , and has i-aveled much. At present M. du Bois s a member of the faculty ot Atlanta Jniversity , says the Kansas City Jour- ial. "About as different from my own teople as the day is from the night , " ic said the other day , "are the Scots , cherish a story I once heard in Scot- and a story that is , I think , typical f a certain portion of the people. "This story concerns a minister who aught a member of his congregation .eeping acd lebuked him from the pul- it. 'Awake , Saund rs , ' he said. 'Man , t's a disgrace to sleep in the kirk. ' ' Suunders was much hurt He spoke ip and said : " 'Look to yer ain pew , an' mayhnp e'll find ithcTS sleepin' here besides ayselV "The minister looked and there "was is wife slumbering soundly. He wakened her , and he told Saund-ers hat if she fell asleep again he might all attention to her by holding up is hnnd. Then he proceeded with his ermou. "Some weeks went by and one Sun- lay Saunders , sure enough , put Irs and up. The wife was asleep again , 'ho minister thundered out her name , ade her rise to her feet , and said to or , before the whole congregation : " 'Mrs. MacGregor , anybody krns hat when I got ye for a wife I get o beauty ; yer friends ken I got no iller ; now , if I dlnna get God's grace , shall have a puir bargain indeed. ' " Not Da n serous. A New York clergyman , who was ne of the guests at a beautiful sea- here home , was asked to supply the iulpit one Sunday. He had done so he year before , during his visit , and he congregation had been large. On Saturday afternoon , as he sat in .is room , he heard two of the grooms alking as they returned to the stable fter having delivered two riding orses at the front door. "I don't know but I'll go to 'ear 'im t that haf ternoon service , " said one of hem. "There ! I knew you'd come around , " aid the other , in a tone of approval. He's a well-meaning man , and as I 3ld you , I've heard him twice , and rhat harm has it done me ? " To Be Considered. "It looks to me as if some of these ust magnates felt themselves supe- ior to the government itsalf. " "Well , " answered Senator Sorghum , you must not overlook the fact that trust magnate is a great deal surer f his job than a government official. " -Washington Star.

I New York Drummer's Tarn Abomfr an "Accommodation" Train , "The South isn't the only fhere they run slow trains , " said & \ew York drummer , just back from lis New England route. "I was traveling on a road in north- tn Vermont. In the seat ahead of" he was a farmer , so jubilant over mying a new buggy he was taking : lome with him that he had to turn , irouud and tell me all about it. 'Gosh , * " te "was saying for the twentieth time ? ot it dirt cheap only § 24when ; he conductor came through asd tap- icd him on the shoulder. " 'Say , Darius , ' he shouted , 'ie's. lowing up for your jumping off place/ " 'What town are we coming to ? ' I skcd Darius. " 'Oh , no town in particular , ' be an- wered. 'Jest my farm. I know tha- onductor and engineer pretty well Tew up alongside of thpm and they- ilways let me off here. Saves walk- ng six miles from town. ' "Just then the train stopped , and' Xirius made leisurely for the door and 3 crambled off the platform. A minuta- T two passed and we didn't move on. Guess they're helping Darius off with lis buggy , ' I said to myself , and went n reading the paper. 'Maybe I had read for five minutes vhen I looked up. 'Hello , ' I said , 'still ttanding here. Wonder if Darius got Us buggy off ? ' With that I stuck my lead out of the window to see , aii& ) less me , if there wasn't the engineer md the fireman and the conductor lelping Darius to put his buggy to- ; ethcr. And the brakeman was un- : rating the shafts. "Did anybody object to the delay- sot a soul. Acted as if it were an ? very-day occurrence. They went de * iberately at it , not even giving rail- 'oad schedules a thought , apparently , mtil the- buggy was all put together md the son of Darius came across ields leading a horse. Then Darius- thanked them and guessed he and his ) oy could hitch up the horse all right , ind the conductor and the engineer * ind the fireman and the brakeman all u-awled back pu the train and we got mder way again. "That happened on the trip up. On ihe down trip we made a stop in the jpen countiy and , as I'd seen no one jet off , I got out to investigate. Whea f walked up to the engine I saw the ingineer down on his knees on the Tack , pounding away like all pcsses- ied. " 'What's up ? ' I asked. " 'Oh , nothing much , ' he said. On .he up trip I noticed this rail was a ittle loose , so when I was in town I threw a spike and an ax into the ingine , and now I'm respiking it. that's all. ' " SIR H. MORTIMER DURAND. The Netr British Ambassador to tlitf United States. Sir H. Mortimer Durand , who sno : eeds the late Sir Michael Herbert a * British ambassador to the TJnjfe4 States , has beet British ambassadoz at Madrid for the last three years Previously to his inclusion In the upper - per ranks f the British diplomatic service he had spent more thas twenty years ir the Indian civil service. The son BIB H. M. General Sir Henry Durand , he wat born hi India in 1850 , and his acquaint auce with that country , Persia an < Afghanistan is of the most Intiraatt kin-d. He has been private secretary to an Indian viceroy , filled posts in tht Indian foreign office and conducted a successful special mission to Gabul whither he had previously accompan led Lord Roberts as political secretarj In the 1S79 campaign. Before his ap pointment to Madrid he was for su I years British envoy and minister tc Persia , where he was regarded as tht most astute diplomat Great Britaij ever sent to Teheran. In leisure mo ments he has written a novel , "Helej Trevelyan , " under the pen name 01 John Roy , and several works on Indiai subjects. A significant feature of Sir Henry 'i selection is the fact that It is the firs time the British government has sen : an ambassador directly to Washington. Heretofore Washington has been look ed on as a post ranking at the foot q the embassies , hence it has been thj cus-toin to promote a minister to b | "unbossador. " f Prepared for the "Worst.
