Not * Clone Observer. “It weins almost incredible, ” said the railroad man, “bnt I saw a man the other day that couldn't give an intelligent description of his wife. He came to the office to get transportation for her, to which he was entitled, and under the present rules we must have a description of the person that is going to use the transportation. On the margin of the ticket are places where the agent can punch out a very good description of the person that is entitled to use the ticket in hia possession. “I asked the man first how old his wife was. He could not tell within five years. “Next I asked him how tall she was. The best I could ascertain was that she was not very tall, neither was she very short. I punched out the word ‘medium’ and let it go at that. “Next I asked the man what the color of his wife’s eyes was. He studied for a full half minute and said he be darned if he was sure whether they were light bine or gray. “When it came to the color of the woman’s hair, he was again in a quandary. He was not dead sure whether it was dark brown or black. “The onlv thing this husband was sure of was that his wife was slim.”— Duluth News. Hook’s Lordly Tip. It required such a man as Theodore Hook to cope successfully with the rapacity of the gentlemen of the hall, in contradistinction to the road, and on one occasion, at all events, he proved himself equal to the task. It is related that once when dining ont he. before the entertainment came off. provided himself with several bright farthings from the mint and tiiat when proceeding after the festivities to his carriage be discovered several servants, including the cook awaiting him in the hall, he forthwith slipped a coin into the hand of the latter. The man glanced at it. noticed the size and bowed low in thanks, under the impression that he was a sovereign richer, while Theodore, dispensing largesse of a like nature to the other servants, went on his way rejoicing, nor did he cease doing so when, as he stepped into his carriage, one of the footmen, who had discovered the real value of the pourboire. ran out. saying, “Sir, I think you have made a mistake I” “Not at all. my good man.” replied the humorist, with a gracious wave of the hand “I never give less. Coachman. drive cn Then He Was Mad. A Scotch university professor, irritated to find that his students had got into the habit of placing their hats and canes on his desk instead of in the cloakroom, announced that the next article of the kind placed there would be destroyed. Some days later the professor was called for a moment from the classroom. A student slipped into his private rocm and emerged with the professor’s hat, which he placed conspicuously on the desk, while his fellows grinned and trembled. The professor, on returning, saw the hat. thought some rashly obstinate student had been delivered into his hands, and, taking out his knife, he cut the offending article to pieces, while vainly attempting to conceal the smile of triumph that played about his countenance. He was in a very bad temper the next day. Likes to Be Kicked. Hall Caine confesses that he likes to be kicked, as long as the thing is done in public and makes him conspicuous or notorious. He says in the London Mail: “Even the silliest personal reference I ever see, however inspired by paltry feelings, seems to me by implication a tribute and compliment, being a recognition of the fact that I am a factor worth counting with and an adversary worth fighting. And when the most false, the most mean and the most belittling of the kind has ceased to appear I shall know that I am no longer of the least account. ” A Cold Night In China. One of the facts that we ineffaceably cut into my memory during my first winter in Newchwang was the finding on one morning about New Year’s time 35 masses of ice, each mass having been a living man at 10 o’clock the preceding night The thermometer was a good bit below zero (F-)- Tiie men had just left the opium dens, tvbere they had been enjoying themselves. The keen air sent them to sleep, and they never wakened. —North China Herald City Boy’s Idea. A Gallatin county farmer hired a boy from the city to assist him through the summer. The farmer told the kid to go out to the barn lot and salt the calf The kid took a quart of salt and industriously rubbed it into the calf’s hide. The colts got after the calf for the salt and bad about all the hair licked off the animal before its condition was discovered. — Montgomery (.Ills.) News. Knew What Poverty Meant.

Their Limitations. “Some of those postoffice people are very clever. They can read illegible writing and deliver letters when the address is worse than a Chinese puzzle. “Yes. but they can’t help out the man who forgets to mail his wife s letters.” —Brooklyn Life.

ROLE OF FATALITIES AMONG TROOPS FIGHTING IN THE PHILIPPINES. Number of Officers Killed In Battle Out of Proportion to the Number of Privates—The Total Number of Deaths Is 730. Seattle, Wash., July 29.—The Times prints what purports to be a full list of fatalities in the American army in the Philippines up to June 2. This list xvas furnished by Fred F. Eitell, a representative of the Manila Freedom, who claims to have obtained it from the records of the surgeon general’s office at Manila. The total number of fatalities is 736— 23 officers, 699 privates and 14 civilians attached to the army. A remarkable feature of the record is found in the statement that the number of officers killed in battle is out of all proportion to the number of privates killed. On the other hand, fewer officers died from disease proportionately than privates. Out of 23 officers dead, 16 were killed iu action, two were drowned and five died of disease, as follows: Typhoid, 1; meningitis, 2; rheumatism of heart, 1; paralysis, 1. Os the 699 privates 294 died of wounds received in action; nine were killed accidentally; 23 were drowned and seven committed suicide. One hundred and six died of typhoid fever; 89 of smallpox; 47 of dysentery; 28 of pneumonia; 19 of malarial fever, and 14 of meningitis. The remaining 17 died from various diseases. Os the 14 deaths among civilians, sjven were from smallpox and three from gunshot wounds received in action. Want to Ret urn to Cuba. Washington, Aug. I—Senor Quesada had a conference with Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn yesterday regarding the 4,000 Cuban refugees at Tampa and Key West, who desire to return to Cuba. These people came to the Uuited States during the Cuban rebellion seeking safety and employment. Senor Quesada tvants to arrange for their return on a government vessel if possible. Hancock Arrives From Manila. San Francisco, July 31. —The untimely arrival of the United States transport Hancock, Saturday midnight, having on board the Nebraska regiment and two batteries of the Utah artillery, completely destroyed all the arrangements which had been made for a royal reception and an enthusiastic xvelcome to the fighting volunteers, returning crowned with their laurels. Marines Ordered to Manila. Washington, July 29. —The navy department has ordered a battalion of marines, 358 in all, to proceed to Manila take station at the Cavite navy yard, to reinforce the small contiagent now there. The war department will furnish transportation for the marines, carrying them on steamers leaving San Francisco ou Aug. 8 and 15. Horses and Mules For Philippines. Chattanooga, July 29.—The quartermaster at Chickamauga park yesterday started a shipment of 482 horses and mules for the army iu the Philippines x’ia San Francisco in compliance with anjorder from the war department. ADMITTED TO BAIL YViley Baker Placed Under $5,000 Bond at Barboursville, Ky. Barboursville, Ky., Aug. I.—Judge Disham yesterday granted a motion to admit Wiley Baker to bail. He fixed his bond at $2,500 iu each case, making a total of $5,000. Wiley, together with Jim Baker, is charged with the murder of Wilson Howard and Burch Storr. No date was fixed for the trial. About 20 of the Bakers and many of their supporters are here, as is a large following of White’s. Both sides are heavily armed and bitter feeling is expressed. flagedjjndeb bond Organizer Warner and Forty-Five Miners Held For Conspiracy. Pittsburg, Aug. I.—National Organizer William Warner of the United Mine Workers of America, and 45 miners are under $6,500 bail for a hearing at the September terms of the Somerset county courts on charges of conspiracy.

POPE LEO Hopes to Establish Harmony Between South American Nations. The Hague, July 31.—The pope in a letter to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, expresses the hope that he will soon be able to establish harmony between the two South American nations, which have submitted their dispute for his arbitration. Hospitalship Relief. Honolulu, July 23, via San Francisco, July 31.—The United States hospitalship Relief arrived yesterday 11 days from Yokohama. After coaling she will proceed directly to San Francisco. Probably four days will be occupied in coaling and nine days for the trip to San Francisco, so that the Relief will hardly arrive at that port earlier than Aug. 4. The Relief has on board 300 sick soldiers from Manila. Hotel Burned. Utica, N. Y., July 31.—Fire yesterday destroyed the Altamont hotel and the plant of the Export Lumber company at Tupper lake. A number of dwelling houses were also burned. Gold From Australia. San Francisco, July 29.—Tne steamer Moaua yesterday brought SS<X),OOO in sovereigns. The gold is from Sydney, and is for local and eastern banks.

GERMANY IS READY. The Roads Leading to France Are One Contlnnona Fort. Metz and Strassburg, the outposts of the German army, face watchfully toward the west. From the gates of Metz the roads to I’aris taper through wall after wall of intrenchments, which end xvltli the heights above the stricken field of Gravelotte. Thence to the frontier of France is only a short walk across the grave covered ground. From Metz to France is one long "glacis,” unassailable by the invader. Above it rise the five great sentinel forts which surround Metz, and from the high ground on which these stand can be seen 15 miles to the west Verdun, the nearest French fortress, the threat of France. In Metz and Strassburg a great German army stands at attention, ready for war. Touch the right button in Berlin, and in half an hour 30,000 men will be marching from Metz, and xvithin 12 hours 100,000 men—the frontier field force of Alsace-Lorraine —will be crossing the border, while the system in accordance with which the railway touches all the great cantonments of Germany and then converges on the frontier will land half a million men near Metz in three days. In a week .2,500,000 men will be ou and beyond the frontier; in a week 4,000,000 Germans will be under arms. In Metz and Strassburg stores and food and fodder lie ready in magazines, the transport animals stand harnessed by the xvagons. All the appliances and munitions of modern war are at hand and would be on the road in a few’ minutes. When the troops go "route marching,” they carry with them three days’ food and three days’ ammunition; their clothes are in their knapsacks. They can carry no more in war. —Cincinnati Enquirer. GRANULATED SUGAR. Why It Uns Crowded Out the Old Fashioned Brown Kind. “When 1 was running a boarding house for gangs at work on new railroads in the west a few years ago,” said the tall man, “brown sugar cost 5 cents a pound when 1 bought it by the hogshead, and granulated sugar cost 12 cents a pound when purchased in equally large amounts. Now, if you had 200 men to board, all of xvhom used sugar in their coffee, what kind of sugar would you buy?” “I suppose I’ll make a mistake, but, as far as I know now, I would buy sugar, for that xvould be the cheapest,” xvas the reply. “And that’s where you’ve made a mistake,” said the tall man. “I’ll prove it to you in a minute. When you go home tonight, you take a teaspoqp and experiment xvith both kinds of sugar. You’ll see that with granulated sugar you can pick up only as much as the boxvl of the spoon will hold. But it’s different with brown sugar. If you dig your spoou deep into it, when you lift the spoon you bring nearly three spoonfuls of sugar along with it, as it packs closely. That is what housewives call a 'heaping teaspoonful.’ Now, the average railroader is used to putting three to four spoonfuls of sugar in bis coffee, and he never looks to see whether they are heaping ones or not. Therefore the brown sugar is the more expensive. 1 tried both ways, and 1 found that using granulated sugar saved me over 815 a month over what it cost to serve brown sugar. There’s even more difference now and then too. The big sugar concerns have ..eaten down the price of granulated sugar until it costs but a penny a pound more than brown sugar. That’s why you see granulated sugar in all the cheap boarding houses today.”—New York Sim. President Dwight’s Pun. President Dwight and President Elect Hadley were returning home from the annual alumni dinner when they were caught in the rain. President Elect Hadley had an umbrella with him, and President Dwight did not. Professor Hadley, of course, wished the retiring president of Yale to protect himself from the rain by the use of the umbrella, but President Dwight declined to rob Professor Hadley of his umbrella in order that be himself might ward off the rain. Professor Hadley, however, insisted that President Dwight accept the courtesy, aud his arguments became so energetic that finally President Dwight turned and said; “See here, Hadley, this is my reign still. Your reign doesn’t commence until tomorrow.” President Elect Hadley allowed the president of Yale to have his own way oq the last day of his administration.—New Haven Register. The Mask. A peculiar nature is that which combines impulsive frankness with the reserve acquired by a thoughtful mind accustomed to depend upon itself. Such a person hates to reveal a trait of character. In early times men made their houses of tree branches covered with mud. There is still much of the savage In us, aud we enjoy hiding in such an aboriginal habitation. YVe cover our true sea with cynicism or conceal it under reserve. Occasionally a passerby knocks off a bit of the outer crust and catches a glimpse of the interior, and then we feel annoyed at the mental Paul Pry. Followed Instructions. Senator Clark of Montana recently laid an asphalt walk before his western home and. the composition being not yet dry, causes a temporary boardwalk to be erected with the sign,' “Take the Boardwalk.” Some local wags noted this and the day after its appearance carried off the walk and wrote under the sign the words, “We Have.”

A Strange Test of Manhood. The ancient Clan Macleod used to exercise a strange test toprove the man hood of their chieftains. At Dunvegan castle, on the island of Skye, there is preserved the large Lorn known as “Rory More's Horn. " This capacious vessel holds rather more than a bottle and a half of liquor. According to the old custom, every laird of Macleod was obliged on his coming of age to fill this horn with claret and without once lay ing it down to drain it to the dregs This was taken as a proof of his manhood. and he was then deemed a worthy successor to the lairds of the past. Deceitful. “Men are queer animals. ” said the pessimist. “They are all more or less deceitful." “Oh. I don’t believe that 1” replied the optimist. “I think there are plenty of people who strive to be honest. 1 know I do, and 1 don’t give myself credit for being any better than the majority of men." “Then why do you ask me how my health is every time we meet and stand around and look bored if I tell you?" — Chicago Times-Herald.
