SETTLED THE DIFFICULTY.

A Prosperous Kurniing Country, The whole kingdom of Denmark, not counting Iceland and Greenland, is less than half the size of Indiana. Its population is only 2,185,000. By far the larger part of the Danish people make their living in agricultural pursuits. Yet Denmark is today one of the most i prosperous of countries. The reason is that the Danes are hustlers both with their brains and hands. Some years ago they shipped much pork to Germany. But the German government got or protended to have a scare about trichina, and prohibited the trade. Then the brainy, active Danish farmers determined to invade the English market

Then he said: “Mr. Findley, stand, sir, until I cuss you." Old Uz bowed his heed and Carter et,id: “Mr. Findley, had I nil the talents ever produced in Europe and America combined in solid phalanx, and was to undertake to speak of you, I would then fall short of describing the corruption of your old heart, sir.” This settled the difficulty. The two men resumed friendly relations. The custom of “cussin’ out” was thus introduced in

the Ozark country.

A JOKER JAILED. How Tie TV us Brought to Book for n Mean Trick. The sad story lately told in the Youth’s Companion of a newsboy who lost his life as the result of a practical joke, so called, reminds a correspondent of an incident that took place a few years ago in n city ofTcnntsscc. A poor little girl was peddling apples in a railway station. A train was about starting, and almost at the last moment a tall, ruffianly passenger stepped off the ear steps and called for fifteen cents’ worth of the apples. The girl counted them out, the man took them, and then, as he moved toward the ear, began feeling in his pocket as if for the money. The change was not forthcoming, he was on the steps, tho train began to move, the girl ran eagerly after it, and there stood the man on the platform, laughing at her. By good luck, the mayor of the* city happened to be among the bystanders—a war veteran, with a tender heart and a contempt for all meanness. lie ran at <jnc$ to the superintendent’s office, and said: “I’ll give you a hundred dollars to stop that train and have it backed into the station.” The offer was promptly accepted, a telegram was dispatched, and very soon the player of tho joke found himself in the hands of the police. He paid the girl her fifteen cents, of course, and offered to pay her a good deal more; but the officers were inexorable, and to the gratification of the lookers-on he was inarched off to jail.

creameries, and it is from them that the system spread all over the world. Every impiovement that science, cleanliness, study, experience and painstaking care could bring to bear on butter and cheese making was brought, regardless of its cost. When there is a glut of one commodity, these hustling people make

ready something else.

Whatever they undertake is carried through in tho same way. They have studied the science and art of buyiug and selling, and watch the fluctuations cf tho market. If any nation likes any particular stylo of preparing packages for market, that is the style it gets from Denmark. In little Jutland alone there are now 325 cattle breeding societies. All this explains why Danish agricultural products lead the world. The government did not accomplish the thing. The farmers themselves did it nil. This was better thau growing discouraged and groaning over hard times.

Athletics In America.

Quite aside from any national vanity and self gratnlation, it is a matter of genuine satisfaction that in the match games of the British cricket clubs and general athletic teams against similar clubs and teams of Americans the Americans have proved themselves no mean antagonists to the young Englishmen with their admirably developed physique. The Americans have occasionally

beaten tho British champions.

That means much. England has been at the head of nations in athletic games for centuries. In no country elsewhere has every manly physical exercise and every outdoor sport received the attention it has there. Until comparatively recent years Americans paid no attention at all to physical culture. The

Wui u Bond Syndicate Nceesaury? The Social Economist thinks that for redemption purposes the banks of the United States could practically be consolidated aud the greenback issue distributed among them in proportion to their capital, or a "Federal Bank of tho American Union” might be established, with a capital of ({100,000,000, and this would deliver the country from the Philistines in tho shape of the “foreign bond syndicate,” engineered by the Rothschilds, which is what Tho Social Economist particularly objects to. It declares that for an independeut government to surrender its treasury powers to a syndicate to be “financed” is a transaction we might look for in the case of a weak government like, say, Egypt, “but it is without precedent in tho case of tho United States or any first class power.” Tho plan of The Economist editor would be for the government to do its own financing, unifying all the existing banks into a consolidated system for purposes of general transactions. To this he would add: The crowning of the unified and confederated banking system with u federal bank with branches afti r the model of the banks devised in 1701 by Hamilton and Morris, and in 1818 by Madison, Gallatin and Dallas. The functions of such a bank will be in part (1) to maintain and enforce redemption of all bank notes in gold by whatsoever hank the notes shall be issued throughout the United States; (2) to insure the government treasury of the United Staffs against a rtui for gold on any and every possible demand by so utilizing and financing the ere-dit of the United States that the more debt it owes tho more it will attract gold, and tho large r Its payments the greater will be its means of payment; (8) to/gmemote low and espial rates e f interest throughout thee Unites!

The Country’s Foot! Market. It is net California, according to Mr. Calvin Dill VTilson, but Chesapeake bay and the region roundabout. Mr. Wilson tells us in The Cosmopolitan Magazine why he thinks so. Nearly 300 years ago Captain John Smith measured tho calf of the log of a “Susquchannougli” Indian in the Chesapeake region and found it to bo ‘‘three-quarters of a yard about,” and the rest of him was large in proportion, so that it is no wonder tho veracious chronicler says “beseemed tho goodliest man wo ever beheld. ” Mr. Wilson thinks this great size was owing to tho vast quantity of good things to eat that are even to this day found in tho Chesapeake country. There are deer, ducks, bear, reedbirds, turkeys, terrapin and snipe cn tho laud, besides the most luscious peaches and the tenderest vegetables that ever molted the heart of

man.

In Chesapeake bay there are 80 kinds of edible fish. Tho oyster market cf the world is in Baltimore. The fame of canvasback duck and terrapin from Baltimore has spread the world over. Some ten different varieties cf docks are found. In favorable years, such as 1889 was, tho oyster catch of the bay is 10,000,000 bushels. Bat tho annual

TETXTCINCO INDIANS. A Village of Interesting Mexicans In the State of Morelos. Teixtcingo is the euphonious name of a village of one thousand inhabitants, in the district of Morelos, Etate of Morelos, which has preserved the customs and the language of its founders, who settled there in the remote past. The inhabitants, says the Mexican Herald, are all Indians of the purest Mexican or Aztec blood; they scorn the idea of intermixture or intermarriage with any other race. Their boast is that they are pure MexI'i&TS. They a 1 ! sq-erk ti e nat : ve la-i . guage; a few understand Spanish, but the great majority do not know one

word of it.

The men wear their hair long and plaited in n tail like a Chinaman. They wear short pants, like those used )vbnthers. made of deer skin or of cotton woven by their women. The shirt, or body dress. Is made of cotton doth also woven at home. The women dress entirely in homespun material, and never comb their hair, which they wear rolled up in a ball on the top of the head, and over it they put a jicara made from a common gourd. They live upon corn and fruits and the flesh of animals and birds trapped in the forest and hills. They consume nothing whatever that is imported, and they support themselves entirely by their native productions. Gov. Alarcon, of the state of Morelos, told a Herald representative that robberies are totally unknown in

the village.

Sincere Compliment*. A lecturer used to tell of two compliments he hud recehed, each of which was. as he said, a “gem” in its way. One ! day a friend met him on the street and : said, cheerfully: “I see that you lectured last night. Sorry I wasn’t able to be there. Hope to hear your lecture when it passes into literature.” This

nock and long hair and stooped his shoulders over his books far into the' small hours was the model young man. Happily we havo changed that. In enr own peculiarly national game of baseball we beat tho world. Athletics in our colleges is carried so far that some good people fear tho lessons will be neglected. But there is no danger. The so called athletic craze among college boys and girls in America is exactly the one that was needed to strike this country through and through. This re public wants largo, strong, splendidly healthy young men and women, with plenty of electricity and red blood in their veins. These can do anything in

the realm of brain or body.

shad, the finest specimens of which also come from this favored region. Verily hero must be the gastronomie center of the earth. Altogether the perusal of Mr. Wilson’s paper makes the average man conclude ho would like to go to the shoreii of Chesapeake bay to live.

Tho time of equal days and nights is already passed, and tho dark hours en croach apace on the light. Households gather ouce more around the lamp. There are hundreds of families in newly settled regions that itave nothing to r-ad Ti+er-s-iw -hvui-lr ’a of ftr«t?uM *.» tho older settled regions that throw away every year magazines, newspapers and books enough to make a whole winter’s entertainment for a household that is far from town and has no money to spend for reading matter besides. Send the surplus to those who want and need it. Make np great packages for them. The express companies usually take such parcels of reading matter at

very cheap rates.

They have a daughter who has been married 5(1 years and a great-great-granddaughter who has scon five yeare of wedded life. Mr. Moseley is 07 years old and his wife not quite 95.

How little the British press represents the British public is seen in tho matter of the now America cup challenge. Tho Euglit'h piCi.t belched forth fiery jingoism. Several papers even went so far ns to announce with solemn dignity that it would be many a year before another challenge would leave Great Britain to sail a race for tho cup, even if such a challenge ever was issued. * ‘ Eng lishmen are true sportsmen,” oracularly announced another, “Americans are only sporting men. ” Aud immediately on the heels of these eam« the challenge of Mr. C. D. Rose of the Royal Victoria Yacht club to sail, absolutely without condition, a race with' any American yacht next year for tho cup. This is safilcient comment on the spirit of the press cf Gnat Britain without a word more.
