According to statements of a mining expert who is close to officials of the Standard Oil company the latter corporation now controls the copper supply and the copper markets of the world. As a result of the litigation over the Heinze properties in Montana and the "disturbed condition of the market," it is averred, the Rothschilds, who controlled the European copper agencies and properties, have formed a combination with the Standard Oil Company, which, it is claimed, has secured, "or intends to se cure," the American producers and agencies. Assuming that the copper supply and markets have actually passed, or are about to pass, into the hands of the Rockfellers, it is interesting to speculate for a moment on the colossal holdings of the head of the great Standard Oil trust. How much does the "silent czar of "Wall street" own anyway? Financial experts and authorities say "Mr. Rockefeller's wealth is about $250,000,000," yet when he first embarked in the oil business he was so poor he could not get credit for a car load of oil. Rockefeller is a director in only four corporations so far as the world knows and .yet it is claimed that he dominates a hundred and fifty. For twenty years the Rockefellers have been putting their enormous dividends from Standard Oil into railroads and other properties. In addition to being the controlling factor in many railroads John D. , Rockefeller is heavilr interested in "Western Union, United States Steel, in New York elevated roads, in iron mines in the Northwest and in lake transportation. No one at this time would undertake to mark the boundary line of his control in the industrial world. "The finest organizing brain of this generation," said the late Jay Gould in characterizing Mr. Rockefeller. He has not only accumulated millions, but it is said of him that he never worked for a salar' and has made a hundred men millionaires. AN OLD FAVORITE MY SHIFS.

NO MORE HEARTJISEASE During the last two or three years very great improvements have been made in the treatment of the different kinds and stages of heart disease. Cases formerly considered incurable now rapidly recover under the new treatment. The well-known specialist, Franklin Miles, M." D., LL. B., will send a $3.75 course of his New Special Treatment free to any - afflicted reader who will recommend it when cured. This liberal offer is to demonstrate the great superiority of his new system of treating heart troubles; s'fh as short breath, pain in the side, oppression in the chest, irregular pulse, palpitation, smothering spells, puffing of the ankles or dropsy. They are the result of twenty-five years of careful study, extensive research, and remarkable success in treating weak, dilated, enlarged, rheumatic fatty or neurlagic hearts. Each one requires a different treatment. The treatments are carefully select ed for each patient, as regards their age, weight and stage of each kind of heart disease. The eminent Rev. W. Bell, D. D., of Dayton, Ohio, General Secretary of Foreign Missions, writes editorially in The State Sunday School Union: ""We desire to state that from personal acquaintance we know Dr. Miles to be a most skillful specialist, a man who has spared neither labor nor money to keep himself abreast of the great advancement in medical science." Rev. J. "W. Stokesbury, of Fallport, Mo., had head, heart, stomach trou bles, and nervous prostration. . Three physicians failed to help him. He writes, "I regard myself cured." A thousand references to, and testi monials from Bishops, Clergj'men, Bankers, Farmers, and their wives will be sent free on request. These include many who have been ured after from five to fifteen physicians and professors had pronounced them "in- j curable." Among them are: II. A. Groee, 504 Mountain St., F. 'gin. 111.;; Mrs. Sopliia Snowbeig, No. 2S2 21st Ave., S. Minneapolis, Minn.; Mrs. A. 1. Colburn, Blessing, la.; Mrs. M. B. Morel en, Rogers, Ohio, and the presidents of two medical colleges, etc. Send to Dr. Franklin Miles, 564 to 574 Main St., Elkhart, Ind., for Heart Book and $3.75 free Treatment.

The faro reports the following instance: As a magnificent steamer, the propfrty of the Peninsular and Oriental company, was steaming into Southampton barbor a grimy coal lighter floated immediately in front of it. An officer on board the steamer, seeing this, shouted: "Clear out of the way with that barge!" The lighter man, a native of the Emerald Isle, shouted in reply, "Are ye the captain of that vessel?" "No." answered the officer. "Then spake to yer equals," said the lighter man. "I'm the captain of this." Reneiii Is I a nrrn. "Everybody says the baby looks like you. Doesn't that please you?"

Pat With Slilllftlali and Jobs Ball With 1IU Cudgel. ,Tlie shillalah is the most essential part of the equipment of an Irishman as seen on the stage or in the comic papers. Pat. to be recognized as a

genuine Hibernian, must wear knee" breeches, have his pipe thrust througi the band of his "caubeen" and mu? flourish a "stout stick, while It Is r ways understood that he is fore spoiling for a fight, and so his const.' invitation is, "Who'll tread on the' t. of my coat?" The picture is of cou grossly overcolored. One might tra, many miles and many days in Irel witbjout meeting an Irishman with lu pipe in the band of his hat; but, on V, j other hand, if the shillalah is not forever in his hand, he is certainly familiar with the article. The shillalah was much more in evidence in the riotous days of old the days pictured in the novels of Lever and Le Fanu and in the amusing if not too faithful pictures of Irish life drawn by Trench and other writers of- tinmiddle of the last century. Those were the days when faction fights flourished and the maxim "Whenever you see a head hit it" was faithfully observed. Fighting was just "diversion." In days gone by Englishmen were just as ready and as expert at stick play as an Irishman Is still supposed to be. The play wTith the cudgels was one of the . oldest of English rural sports, the word "cudgel" itself being one of the oldest words in the language. At village sports, fairs and other occasions and places of merrymaking the cudgels once played a prominent part, and at times broken crowns were as common an accompaniment of villagerejoicing as in any Irish hamlet. Thf play with the quarterstaff was a sport of the same class, though of course the quarterstaff was much longer than the cudgel and needed a peculiar kind of skill for its expert use. In 1717 Lady Mary YVortley Montagu wrote of something being as natural "as cudgel playing or football to our British swains." And much later Sir Walter Scott in his younger days was an expert cudgel player. Football survives and flourishes more than ever, but combats with the quarterstaff and the old forms of cudgel play are about as extinct as the dodo. Any rough and tumble fighting with sticks which may now take place on village greens bears little resemblance to the old sport, which required great quickness of eye and the utmost dexterity of wrist. The Irishman's favorite stick was and is a blackthorn ; in England oak or ash was the wood most in esteem. A provincial Englishman was as anxious to be expert with the cudgel as with his fist. In towns the "oaken towel," as it was facetiously called, was a favorite weapon with the bully and hired bravo witli which to "wipe down" his victim. London Globe. In Defenxe of an Offerinsr.

In this sense it has been used to denote secret histories, or portions of ancient writings which have long remained in manuscript and are edited for the first time. Of such anecdota there are many collections. The earliest was probably M ura tori's, in 1709, followed by Thesaurus Novus Anecdotorum, 1717, and Thesaurus Anecdotorum Novissimus, 1721. In its popular modern acceptation the word is used of the relation of some single interesting and authentic incident in private life. Of such there are voluminous collections, such as "The Percy Anecdotes," compiled by Clinton Robinson and Byerley, in 1S20. Dr. Johnson said that collectors are not always so happy as to select the most important anecdotes and that he knew not what estimate posterity could form of Addison from the record of his regular pulse! Tlie World's Dialects. Over 5,000 distinct languages are spoken among men. A calculating prodigy would be wanted to compute with exactness how many separate dialects are in use. Sixty years ago it was reckoned that sixty different vocabularies were to be found In Brazil, but the actual number must be far greater, for in much smaller Mexico the Nahua language is broken up into 700 dialects. There are hundreds in Borneo. In Australia there is no classifying the complexities. And generally the number of dialects is in Inverse proportion to the intellectual culture of the population. Assume that only fifty dialects on an average belong to every language, and we have the colossal total of a quarter of a million linguisticvarieties. In tins babel the battle Is Incessant.

INDIAN MAGIC.

A Trlfk (hut Slradflrdl Lord Irtfoa and One Tliot Ui.ln't Work. The following story of Indian magic was told me by the person to whom it was kld by the late Lord Lytton. I in my own words for the exUhough humiliating reason that j mislaid the manuscript, i in India Lord Lytton often out conjurers, but nover saw ''it the usual feats, such as the tree trick and the basket trick, ethod in each case is known, .dl, events plausible explanations :;en given by Mr. Maskelyne other experts. On one occasion i'd Lytton liked something in the "iooks of the conjurer who was performing in an open space before his house. "After the ordinary exhibition his lordship asked the magician if he could not do something more out of the common way. The man said he would try and asked for a ring, which Lord Lytton gave him. lie then requested an o0icer to take In either hand a handful of seeds. One sort was sesame. rPbe name of the other sort my informant did not know. Holding these seeds and having the ring between his finger and thumb, the officer was to go to a well In the corner of the compound. He was to dispose of the seeds in a certain way I think on the low wall round the well, into the depth of which he wasto throw the ring. All this was done, and then the magician asked Lord Lytton where he would like the ring to reappear. He answered, "In my dispatch box," of which the key was attached to his watch chain, or, at all events, he had it with him on the spot. The dispatch box was brought out. Lord Lytton opened it, and there waa the ring. This trick would be easy if the British officer was a confederate of the juggler and if he possessed a duplicate key to the dispatch box. In that case he would not throw the ring into the well, but would take it into the house, open the box and insert the ring. But this explanation involves enormous improbabilities, while it is unlikely again that the conjurer managed to" insert a duplicate ring Into the dispatch box beforehand. Lord Lytton then asked the juggler if he could repeat the trick. He answered in the affirmative, and a lady lent another ring. Anoiher officer took it, with the seeds, as before, and dropped the ring into the well. The countenance of the juggler altered in the pause which followed. Something, he said, had gone wrong, and he seemed agitated. Turning to the second oilicer, he said, "Did you arrange the seeds as I bade you?" "No," said the officer. "I thought that was nonsense, and I threw thein away."' The juggler seemed horrified. "Do you think I do this by myself?" he said, and,' packing up, he departed. The well was carefully dragged, and " at last the lady's ring was brought to the surface. That ring at least had certainly been in the water. But had the first ring been as faithfully consigned to the depths? Experts will be of various opinions as to that, yet the hypothesis of confederacy and of a duplicate key to the dispatch box is difficult. Longman's Magazine. To Annoy Xapoleon. A curious "anecdote is illustrative of the disposition of Talleyrand. It was resolved that each of the allied powers 6hould designate a commissioner charged with the surveillance of Napoleon at St. Uelena. Talleyrand proposed to the king for this office M. de Montchenu, described as "an insupportable babbler, a complete nonenity." On being asked why he had selected this man, Talleyrand replied: "It is the only revenge which I wish to take for his treatment of me. However, it is terrible. What a punishment for a man of Bo:parte's stamp to be obliged to live with an ignorant and pedantic chatterer! I know him. He will not be able to support this annoyance. It will make him ill, and he will die of it by siow degrees." rosJili tie rrf Tr:inlation. An English writer made an experiment recently of the gain and loss of translation. I heard that L. would write my "life" When I gave up my breath; I felt that this Indeed would add A new delight to death. This was translated into another language, then from that into another, and so on until a dozen versions had been made. Of course there was a different translator each time. The last version, read as follows: Dear, In my song you still shall live Though under earth you lie. Ah, had you now that grace to give I should not need to die! New Tork Tribune. People Wlio I ot Whistle. Arabia must be a heaven for those whose lives are made a burden to them by the whistler. The Arab maintains that a whistler's mouth cannot be purified for forty days and nights, and they assert of the whistler that Satan .has touched his body and caused him toproduce the offensive sound. Then there are the natives of the Tonga Islands, Polynesia, who hold that it is a sin to whistle, as it is an act disrespectful to God. Even in some districts in north Germany villagers declare that if one whistles in the evening it makesthe angels weep. Woman's I'nliappy I.ott.
