Hint for ThH Country.

An interesting variation in the usual run of submarine cable work will soou be shown in the laying of a cable from the mouth of the Amazon, 1,400 miles up the great river. This novel work will place the largo and growing trade of the dim but rich interior in direct communication w ith Europe, as well as with the immed iate shipping ports, and will unques tionably contribute largely to the development of lirazilian commerce. To carry land lines over this vast and little known territory would simply be impossible, and, as

Home Peculiar Feature* of the Matrl. monlal Ceremony. Corean girls, after enjoying freedom until they are eight years old, are eonsigned to the women's quarters, where they live In seclusion till they are married, at sixteen or seventeen years. After marriage, sa3's Popular Science Monthly, the woman is allowed to see no man hut her husband. The boys, on the other hand, are taught that It is undignified for them to enter tho women's part of the house. They never see their brides till the wedding day, all having been arranged for them, often when both bride and groom are infants. The bride and bridegroom invite tlreir most intimate friends to assist them in dressing their hair in the manner befitting their new estate. Then tho bridegroom mounts a white pony, which is led by two servants, while two others on either side support tho rider in his saddle. Thus he proceeds to the bride’s house, in which the bride and her relatives are awaiting their arrival. A goose (the Corean symbol of fidelity), which the bridegroom brings with him, is then produced. The bride (who has to cover her face with her long sleeves) and the bridegroom then bow to each other until their heads almost touch tho ground. This they do three or four times, and are then man and wife. A loving cup is passed around, and then tho bride is taken off to the women’s apartments of her husband's home, where she is looked after by her mother and mother-in-law, while tho groom entertains his friends. The husband must maintain his wife properly and treat her with respect. Marriage is the great event in a Corean’s life, for he then attains man’s estate, liefore marriage, no matter how old he may be, he is treated as a boy, and has to maintain a deferential attitude toward the married men, even though they be only half his age.

the cable are tho great means of commerce and civilization. There is a hint here, however, says the New York Post, that might well be adopted even in the United States, where, if wires were cabled and carried along the beds of all available streams and rivers, there certainly would not be the interruptions now experienced through the failure of the land lines every time a strong gale blows. In Germany, where military considerations often cause things to be done that would not be done in the mere interest of peaceful trade, no small proportion of the telegraph wires arc thus submerged in order to avoid any break in the service at

critical moments.

MONTANA’S CATTLE QUEEN.

NO SMOKING IN PUBLIC.

Vlalts Chicago and Dl.po.e. of a Dig

Shipment of C attle.

The spectacle of a woman dickering

for tho sale of a shipment of cattle is a rather novel one at the stock yards, says the Chicago Chronicle, and when Mrs. Nat Collins, known at her home as the “Montana Cattle Queen,” was noticed about, a small crowd soon collected. Mrs. Collins owns two ranches and the commission men say she is well able to take care of her interests. She secured prices which testify to a

woman's ability at bargaining. Mrs. Collins, although she has passed

most of her life on the frontier, lias a I high appreciation of tho arts. She has written a book describing her own life of stirring adventure. She is large of build, of wonderful strength and brimful of good nature, equally ready to crack a joke or drive a hard bargain. She possesses courage, and is a remarkable financier. She has a husband and daughter, but it is scarcely known that there is a Mr. Collins, so completely is

CRUSHED THE SNEERER. , An American Teacher Who Wat Very

Patriotic.

An Italian gentleman whom I met while traveling disclosed a most depraved inappreeiation of the wonderful vastness of the United States, says a writer in Scribner’s. He spoke Knglish very well, for he had been many years in London, and, as we were enjoying the sea-coast view between Pisa and Via Reggio, he asked politely whether I was not an American from “the states." On learning that 1 was he begged me to tell him something of our government. "You have a president of the country, tho whole states, is it not?” he inquired

earnestly.

I nodded assent.

"Va bene! if a man kills—murders, you understand—who tries him, the federal or state courts?” “The state courts," I replied, "unless it is a case of treason.” “If he is convicted, who can pardon him—the president, of course?” ho asked, with calm assurance, and a slight emphasis on the “of course." “No, indeed; the murderer is tried in the state courts; he can be pardoned only by the state board of pardons, if there is one, or by tho state’s chief officer—the governor. The president has nothing to do with it.” “Well!" Hashed my companion, sarcastically, “in Italy the governor of a little petty province has not the par-

doning power.”

"Sir!” I thundered, now thoroughly angry, “Italy will go twice into the

petty province of Texas."

It was very naughty to get angry, ami especially with such a politely sarcastic little 1 Italian. I know it. Hut who could sit still and hear the sheer, unapproachable— nay, glorious — im-

COOKED CY LIGHTNING,

In Some German Town* the Weed Is Prohibited on the Streets. The consumption of tobacco of all kinds in France, according to recently compiled statistics, is nearly one hundred and twenty-five million pounds per year. An analysis of the figures shows that the people of northern France use nearly four times as much per capita as those in tho southern provinces. Almost every other country of Europe, however, consumes more smoking tobacco in proportion to its population than does France. This is especially the case with Germany. In many small German tov/ns smoking iu the streets is forbidden. Less than fifty years ago if a man ventured on the streets of Berlin with a cigar in his mouth he would be liable to arrest. The same provision existed until 1848 at Vienna, though the law was not observed by the populace. The town of Broeek, in Holland, which is said to bo the cleanest city in the world, has long forbidden the people within its walls to smoke after sunset in the streets unless with a covered pipe, "in order that the cinders may not be blown out." Smoking with an uncovered pipe in German or Austrian forests is an offense that is rigorously punished, and ns a result of this regulation forest fires are rare in those countries. TUSSLE WITH A DEER.

How a Thunderbolt Prepared a Meal During: the Absence of the Mistress. Albert Lewis, of Oakley road. West Orange, N. J., partook of a breakfast the other morning cooked by a fire started by lightning. Saturday afternoon Lewis left his home to go to Newark. When dinner time drew near Mrs. Lewis decided to prepare dinner for Mr. Lewis, but not to cook it until he returned home. She put the coal and wood in the stove and laid the dinner in the oven. Just at that time the storm began, and soon lightning struck the house. Mrs. Lewis became alarmed and fled with her two children to a neighbor’s house. Mr. Lewis found her there and she refused to go home that night. In the morning when they went home they found the dinner Mrs. Lewis had prepared was thoroughly cooked and the wood and coal burned out. Investigation showed that the lightning had struck tho chimney and divided, one part going down the chimney and the other down the outside of the house.

The Desperate Fight of r» Hunter with a Dying Iliii'li. The literature of hunting is full of anecdotes which show the danger of a too hasty assumption that a wounded I animal is dead or past the power of de- | fending himself. A new illustration Ls I furnished bj' Mr. Roosevelt in his “Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail.” Not only will a big, black-tail buck beat oiT a dog or a wolf coming at him, in front, but he is an awkward foe for a roan. One of them nearly killed a cowboy in my employ. The buck, mortally wounded, had fallen to the shot, and the man rushed up to kill him. Then the buck revived for a moment, struck down tho man, and endeavored to gore him, but could not, because of the despairing grip with which the man held on to his

horns.

Nevertheless, the man, bruised and cut by the sharp hoofs, was fast becoming too weak to keep his hold, when in tho struggle the two came to the edge of a washout and fell into it some twelve or fifteen feet. This separated them. The dying buck was too weak to renew the attack, and the man crawled ofT; but it was months before he got over the effects of the encounter.

Novel Method of a Thief In Robbing Church Poor Roxe*. A new use for fly paper was discovered by tho Cottage Grove avenue police at Chicago recently when they arrested John Berger at St. James’ Catholic church. For some time Father McGuire has noticed that the poor boxes placed at tho church door were not yielding as much money as formerly. John Hogan and John Kenneally kept watch of the boxes and saw Berger lingering near one. Police officers were sent for. Berger ran into tho priest’s house, where he was caught Ho ti led to tlnow away a large piece of fly paper, but was prevented. In his pocket was $1(50. in small change, all the pieces of money being covered with the sticky gum from the paper. Berger’s scheme to beat the boxes was to in sert a long narrow strip of tho sticky paper in the narrow slit in the box and pull it out with several coins adhering to tho gum. MOTHERED BY A PIG.

enough to give him considerable liberty, and he took advantage of it the very first day to come into the tent and make it apparent that he wanted me to divide a lemon with him. Grapes were his preference; then came cucumbers, bread and biscuits. Finally he drank milk out of a soup plate. Ho comes up to me and puts down his head to have his ears rubbed, and if I do not attend to him at once, or if I cease attending to him, he gives me a gentle but admonitory thump. I dine outside the tent, and he is tied to my chair and waits with wonderful patience for the odds and ends, only occasionally rubbing his nose against my face to remind ho is there. A friendly snullie is the only sound he makes. He does not know how to fight, or that teeth and heels are for any other uses than eating and and walking, lie is really the gentlest and most docile of his race. The point at which he draws the line is being led. Then he draws back, and a mulish look comes into his sweet eyes. But he follows like a dog, and when I walk he is always with me. He comes when 1 call him, stops when I do, accompanies me when I leave the road in search of flowers, and usually puts his head on my shoulder or under my arm. To him I um an embodiment of melons, cucumbers, grapes, poaches, biscuits and sugar, with a good deal of petting

and ear-rubbing thrown in.

A CLOSE TRADE.

Ningrular Conduct of u Pappy, Whose Mother Had Disowned Him. That both animals and fowls sometimes take strange freaks will be shown by tho following true incidents: A little puppy owned by J. Bakken, of Deerfield, \Vis., was disowned by itsmother, when it immediately joined a litter of small pigs and is evidently well pleased with the new mother of its adoption. Another instance is that of a turkey gobbler belonging to Farmer John Lean, of Sullivan township, not far distant from Palmyra, that becoming possessed of motherly affection took to sitting on a nesf of hen’s eggs, and in due time hatched out a family of little chickens that he continues to protect and care for.

An Instance of “Nearnewi** That In Hard to Heat. The close-fisted and the absent-mind-ed serve a similar use—they amuse their neighbors. The New York Sun quotes a man from the rural districts ns telling a story of a Mr. Putterby, an old-time townsman of his, whose reputation for “nearness” was evidently i.yi. dvovTvexL .y nc it as tliuog lit to be almost a prodigy- in this respect, but no story of this kind is so good but that another can be found to beat It. One of the coins current in those days was the old Spanish silver-piece, which passed for twelve and a half cents, and was variously called “ninepence,” "York shilling" and “bit." It was the evistence nf this coin that en abled Mr. Putterby to achieve his crowning triumph in the way of a close trade. A farm-boy came along one day with a load of pumpkins, which he was peddling about the village at a cent apiece. Mr. Putterby looked at them, concluded to buy, but wanted only half a pumpkin. “But a whole one is only a cent,” said the boy. “How are you going to pay me for half a one?” “Easiest thing in tho world," said Mr. Putterby. The pouipklu vtao cut, he took onehalf under his arm, and handed the boy a shilling. “Now give me the twelve cents change," he said; and taking the twelve coppers from the astonished boy, he walked away with his purchase.

All leaders cf diSferant political parties are agreed that there should be a united effort to have a short campaign next year. It would be sensible proceeding on the part of the corhmittees to have a joint conferance on this subject so that what is conceded to be a wise policy might be carried out.

Tn these days when an important utterance on a political issue is before all the people pet the facts and the argument and digest them in a few days, comparatively speaking.
