The Princess or Wales.

Here is a portrait of the Princess of Wales painted by an American girl, who saw her at the theater: “She is rather tall, and very sweet-looking, but, oh, most awfully thin. She has lovely blue eyes, with a shine In them like a baby's, but I was disappointed a bit, for I thought she had golden hair. To be candid, her hair is of quite a mahogany tint, but it was charmingly coiffured, and showed off her diamonds beautifully. She wore a deep collarette around her neck, and had a glistening white satin gown on. She looked very young and girlish, but I think she has the saddest face. I’ve ever seen. She listened very attentively to the music, and when she smiled you felt as though you wanted to have a good rousing cry. I don't wonder one bit that every one in Britain loves her so devotedly, for they simply can’t help it.”

How to Strengthen the Eyes.

A simple and excellent plan to preserve and strengthen the eyes is this: Every morning pour some cold water into your wash bowl; at the bottom of the bowl place a silver coin or other bright object; then put your face into the water with the eyes open and fixed on the object at the bottom. Move your head from side to side gently, and you will find that this morning bath will make your eyes brighter ami stronger and preserve them beyond the ordinary allotted time.

Distinctly Marked.

“Were there any marks about him by which you would know him again?” asked the policeman, who had arrived at the scene too late to be of any service. “Yes, sir.” said the indignant young woman, whose pocketbook had been wrenched out of her hand by the daring scoundrel. “I left two long fingernail marks on his face. I'd know him all right enough.”—New York Evening Journal.

The Cost of Freeing Cuba.

The United States are entitled to retain possession of the Philippine Islands if the peace commissioners so decide, for the cost of the war runs far into the millions. To free the stomach, liver and bowels from disease, however, is not an expensive undertaking. A few dollars invested in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will accomplish the task.

His Home-Run Hit.

There had been some hard words from each on the faults of the opposite sex, and she finally gave what she thought would be a parting shot. “You rail at us,” she said, “and make fun of us, but what, I ask you, would you do without women?” “Get rich,” he replied promptly, and she was indignant that it took her three weeks to make up her mind to ask for a new bonnet.—Minneapolis Journal.

healthy farmer boy in the first flush of vigorous manhood; he came back a ghost of the self that answered to President Lincoln’s call for “300,000 more.” To-day he is an alert, active man and tells the story of his recovery as follows: “I was a great sufferer from sciatic rheumatism almost from the time of my discharge from the army. Most of the time 1 was unfitted for manual labor of any kind, and my sufferings were at all times intense. At times I was bent almost double, and got around only with the greatest difficulty. Nothing seemed to give me permanent relief until three years ago. when my attention was called to some of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I had not taken more than half a box when I noticed an improvement in my condition, and I kept on improving steadily. 1 took three boxes of the pills, and at the end of that time was in better condition than at any time since the close of my army service. Since then 1 have never been bothered with rheumatism. Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People is the only remedy that ever did me any good, and to them I owe my restoration to comparative health. They are a grand remedy.”

MADE IT HIMSELF.

The Treasurer Knew the Money Was Good. Ex-Treasurer Jordan frequently amuses his friends by telling of an exciting experience he had while treasurer of the United States. Mr. Jordan occasionally indulges in joking remarks, uttered with a serious countenance. It was the indulgence of this proclivity, says the Washington Star, while connected with the Treasury Department, that came near resulting in his introduction to a pair of handcuffs and incarceration in a dingy cell. Mr. Jordan had occasion to make a trip to New York just at a time when a new $5 bill was issued by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. It happened that the treasurer, on the day of starting on his trip, drew a portion of his salary, and the cashier handed him a bunch of the new $5 bills, which had reached the office within an hour. When he arrived in New York, Mr. Jordan proceeded to purchase some needed articles and handed the clerk one of tlie new bills. The clerk had never seen money that looked like that bill, which was spotless and uncrumpled by handling. He examined the alleged money and the man who gave it to him with equal care. Mr. Jordan watched him with suppressed amusement, and remarked in a matter-of-fact way: "It’s good money. I made it myself.” That was enough for the clerk, who went to the cashier's desk with the bill. There was a hurried conference, and a message was sent to police headquarters over the telephone. In a short time a couple of detectives in citizens’ attire were standing on either side of the treasurer cf the United States. They waited there to watch developments, fumbling their handcuffs in their pockets. In the meantime the cashier studied the new bill further, looked carefully over his counterfeit detector, and rummaged through treasury circulars relating to the issuance of money. Finally he came across a description of the now $5 bill which was to be issued by the Treasury Department. His message had not yet reached the clerk, who was exchanging significant glances with the detectives and watching Mr. Jordan, when the latter, getting tired waiting for -his change, and realizing that liis new money was probably puzzling the cashier, produced his card. At the same moment the cashier’s message that die money was not counterfeit reached the clerk, the dectectives wandered off with crestfallen countenances and the treasurer proceeded to the nearest bank, where lie exchanged ills new bills for money that had passed through a tl'.ovsr.nd hands and was far from being sanitary.

PEACE AT A HIGH PRICE.

It Will Coat More than $250,000 to Negotiate a Treaty. It cost less than $150,000 to destroy the fleets of Cervera and Montejo. It will cost more than $250,000 to make a treaty of peace. The peace commissioners, secretaries and attaches at Paris will not lack pocket money. They will have everything to adequately maintain their official position, and even the messengers are to be given liberal allowances for their personal expenses. Funds to the amount of $250,000, it is understood, have been deposited to the credit of Judge Day in one of the Paris banks. Despite the fact that to some extent at least the peace commissioners will be the guests of the French Government, it is expected that it will cost the United States a quarter of a million of dollars to negotiate the treaty of peace with Spain. The French Government has placed the celebrated Salon des Ambassadeurs at the disposal of the commission as n place in which to hold their meetings. This courtesy has relieved the commission of one item of expense. Despite this, however, it is said that the expenses of the commissioners and their staff will amount to something over SI,OOO a day. From a reliable source it is learned that a daily allowance has been made to the various members of the commission as follows: To each of the commissioners, $l5O a day; to Secretary Moore, $75; to Assistant Secretary MacArthur, SSO; to Disbursing Officer Brannigan and Chief Translator Itodriguez, $25; to each of the nine interpreters, attaches, stenographers, etc., $lO, and to the two messengers. $5 per day, making a total of $1,025 per day, or for the ninety days that they are expected to be away, a grand total of $02,250. This is for the personal expenses alone of the various members, and does not include any salaries. Because most of the members of the commission are already in the Government service, they will get no additional salaries for their work with the peace commission. Thus Commissioners Davis, Frye aud Gray, who are drawing salaries as United States Senators, will not receive any additional compensation beyond the payment of their daily expenses. The same is true of all the minor attaches, each of whom is employed in one of the departments in Washington, and whose regular salaries are continued during their absence on this mission. The only men attached to the commission who will receive salaries for their services are Judge Day. the president of the commission; Whitelaw Reid and Mr. Moore, who resigned his place as assistant Secretary of State to accompany the commission as its secretary and counselor. It is expected that Commissioners Day and Reid will be given a fee of $25,000 each for their work on the commission, and that Secretary Moore, upon whom much of the work of preparing the documents in the American case has devolved, will receive a fee of $20,000. The American Government is paying the expense of the ladies who are members of the party, and it is calculated that the item of transportation alone for the thirtyfive persons in the party by sea and rail will amount to at least $25,000. The special expenses of the commission in Paris for entertainments, etc., will probably be not less than $15,000 or $20,000.

FIRES IN THE FORESTS.

Lumber Districts of the North Are Threatened with Destruction. Rain has come to the rescue of the timber districts and lumber towns in Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota, and the forest fires that threatened great destruction to cities and forests have been partially quenched. Reports received in St. Paul indicate that the worst is over, but precautions will not be relaxed. It*is impossible to estimate tho loss. Telegraphic communication with some of the stricken towns is still interrupted. Claytori, Clear Lake, Alamena and Poskin were almost wiped out., but many of the residents managed to save a goodly portion .of their household goods. Latest reports from Barron said that place was still in danger, but it is probable that the greatest danger is passed. The loss to standing pine in Chippewa County, Wisconsin, is enormous, (lienwood, Wis., passed tho danger point, but a twelve hours' fight with the flames was necessary to avert entire destruction. Cedar Lake Dam suffered severely, many buildings being burned at and near that place. Tho dam was also destroyed. Among the heaviest losers at Cedar Lake Dnm are Knapp, Stout & Co., whose large lumber barns and other buildings were burned. Rice Lake. Wis., narrowly escaped being wiped out, sixteen farm house* on the outskirts being destroyed. Hundreds nre homeless, and thousands of feet of hardwood lumber are lost. The fate of many settlers in the forests can only be conjectured. F’iro departments in the big cities have been appealed to for assistance, and are ready to go if they are needed. Some estimates of the loss are $3,000,000. Many lives are supposed to have been lost in the forest fires around Idaho Springs. The fires cover most of the northwestern part of the State, and the loss to woodlands is greater than money could replace. Counties most affected are Routt. Rio Blanco, Grand Lorimer, Garfield, Eagle, Pitkin and Summit.

CANADA IS FOR PROHIBITION.

Majority in Favor of the “Dry” People Will Be About 10,000. Canada has voted for prohibition, and when the returns are all in it is likely a majority of about 10,(XX) will be found in favor of the total prohibition of the liquor traffic in the entire province. The cities all voted strong for the saloons, but were outvoted by the country districts. The French province of Quebec gave a majority of 35,000 against prohibition. Ontario cities gave majorities of K,(XM) against. Toronto, the headquarters of the prohibitionists, voted 4.000 majority against prohibition. Mrs. C. S. Foster, living in Louisville, Ky.. sent flier little 4-ycnr-old daughter to a ne'-ghboting drug store to purchase quinine. The little girl returned with a white pov.’ler which resembled quinine, put some in her coffee and drank. She was immediately taken sick and died soon after. It is believed the clerk in the drug ■ tore gave the child poison by mistake. The California branch of the Eastern Hailroad hits placed an issue of SLM4,(XX) ft per cent Ismds in London for the purpose of extending its line forty-seven mile* to Calivada, Nev.
