How He Mastered Figures.

It is not genei*ally kjiown that if Mr. Gladstone had not been swayed by a very strong sense of filial duty, he would never have entered Parliament, his own strong predisposition being to take orders and go into the church. Another incident which is not generally known is that it was the same principle of filial obedience which first brought to light that extraordinary aptitude for figures which enabled Mr. Gladstone to become the greatest Chancellor of the Exchequer that England has ever had. When he was at Oxford he wrote home, saying that he didn’t care for mathematics,.and intended to concentrate his attention upon classics. His father wrote back that he heard with much grief his son's decision. He did not think a man was a man unless he knew mathematics. Mr. Gladstone, on receiving this intimation of his father’s wishes, abandoned his own plan, and applied himself with his usual concentration to the study of mathematics. Much to his surprise, he came out double first. He often said in after life that he had done it to please his father, and that he would never have been Chancellor of the Exchequer had it not been for the bent given to his mind by his compliance with his father’s wish that he should pursue mathematical studies.

The Sewing Machine He Wanted.

A young bachelor, who was beset by a sewing machine agent, told the latter that his machine would not answer the purpose. “Why,” said the agent, with voluble praise, “it’s the best on the market in every respect.” “That may be,” replied the-supposed customer, “but the sewing machine I am looking for must have flaxen hair and blue eyes.”

WASHINGTON GOSSIP

The report of the surgeon general of tin navy shows that on the thirty-one vessels of the North Atlantic squadron commanded by Admiral Sampson there were only twelve deaths out of a total of 5,516 men, which was at the rate of 2.17 per 1,000, and only thred of the twelve died from disease —one from pneumonia, one from consumption and one from alcoholism. Three were killed or died from wounds and six were drownpd. In Admiral Dewey’s squadron of eighteen vessels and 2,261 men there were only six deaths, at the rate of 2.65 per I,ooo—one from cholera morbus, one from appendicitis, one from drowning, one from suicide, one from alcoholic poison and one froir. wounds. This is the most remarkable record that was ever known in any navy in the world. Within a radius of two squares, just to the east of the treasury, lies the great news-heart of our republic. The center of this is the historic" old “newspaper row,” a dingy row of low buildings. At one time nearly all the important newspapers of the country had their offices therein later days many have moved into more modern offices in neighboring buildings, but still within the circle. Here are busy brains and bright; so many mind-mills into which as into hoppers are poured day and night all the notable occurrences of government, prophecies of policies, politics and a perfect hodgepodge of small talk, and gossip, to be ground up into a blcmj flour fit for any and all palates, under the "brand: “Prom our special correspondent at Washington.”

The dome of the Capitol is probably one of the most fascinating things in Washington after one lias come under its influence. It looks so simple at first —so small after one’s ideas gleaned perhaps from pictures in the geography, that it is a while before its grandeur takes effect, but after that point has once been reached. it is only a question of time when you will become thoroughly and completely hypnotized. The dome is no respecter of persons, either; it takes artist and layman alike. It makes the artist think that it is easy to draw. But of all the things hideously misdrawn after the human form, none is more often than the Capitol donie. *

No one will be surprised if Spain repudiates the Cuban and Philippine debts. It is a way she Ims of getting rid of embarrassing obligations. She has repudiated twice before, but she will harm nobody so much as her own people. Nearly all the Spanish bonds are held by Spaniards. The Bank of Spain alone, which is a Government institution, has at least $150,600,000. There is perhaps $150,000,000 held abroad, mostly in France, where they have been worked off among the peasants by unscrupulous stock brokers. No financier in Europe has bought Spanish bonds for an investment since the last repudia tion.

President McKinley was the central figure in a picturesque scene at the White House the other day, when a delegation of Ute chiefs called to pay their respects to the “Great Father.” They were led by Tim Johnson, an old-time brave, who had picked up somewhere the uniform coat of a captain of infantry, and lie was so proud of this bit of finery that it interfered seriously with the dignity of the reception. He was accompanied by Snuce-A-Knock-It. David Copperfield, Happy Jack and Charlie Mack. They all shook hands solemnly with the President.

NOT A MAN ESCAPES.

Employes of n Missouri Powder Mill Killed in an Explosion. Ten thousand pounds of powder, which was being prepared for shipment in the packing house of the Hercules powder mill at Lamotte, Mo., situated on the St. Louis, Keokuk and Northern Railway, thirty miles south of Quincy, 111., exploded •at 8 o’clock Wednesday morning, tearing into shreds the bodies of six men, who were at work in the building at the time. Pieces of flesh and bone were found scattered over the ground a half-mile from tlie scene of the explosion. These were gathered up in buckets by the employes of the.niilljN.mt identification of any of the parts found was an utter impossibility. Several men working in the mill, which was some little distance from the packing house, were injured by broken glass and flying debris, but none was fatally injured. * The cause of the explosion will never he known; no eye-witness is left to tell the tale. There was always some loose powder on the floor of the packing room, and it is conjectured that some heavy article was accidentally dropped into it by one of the men, causing it to ignite.

THANKSGIVING AT SANTIAGO.

Outdoor Games Are Postponed Because of Heat. Thanksgiving duy was observed at Santiago de Cuba for the first time in the 300 years' history of the city. By a proclamation issued by Gen. Wood, all business was suspended at the palace, on the streets and wharves. The employes of the municipality had a vacation, and only necessary work was done by the American troops. It was n novel Thanksgiving day for the Americans. The thermometers registered 05 in the shade. Several projected baseball and football games were ptrst poued on account of the heat. In the evening dinners and entertainments were given by American officers and Cubans.

A LIVING WITNESS.

Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound has cured me, and I will recommend it to my friends.—Mrs. Florence R. Hoffman, 512 Roland St., Canton, O. The condition described by Mrs. Hoffman will appeal to many women, yet lots of sick women struggle on with their daily tasks disregarding the urgent warnings until overtaken by actual collapse. The present Mrs. Pinkham’s experience in treating female ills is unparalleled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometimes past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing Women during a single year.

American Shoes in Germany.

Twenty years ago American shoes ■were unknown in Germany. Indeed, at that time our shoes were not regarded as superior to those of German manufacture, but the many improvements which have been made in machinery, together with the careful study which our manufacturers have made of style and comfort, have placed our shoes in the front rank. An American can almost always be distinguished in a crowd by his shoes. In 1880 the value of shoes Imported into Germany from the United States amounted to $1,666; in 1890, to $9,044; in 1896 it was $30,508; and for the first five months of this year the total value of the shoes imported from the United States was $59,500.

Hep Hats All Made of Paper.

A fashionable woman recently created a sensation at an afternoon luncheon in London by announcing that she had had fifteen hats during the summer. but that not one of them contained an inch of silk, satin, velvet or straw. They were entirely of paper, and to prove her assertion she displayed the natty black turban trimmed apparently with bauds of black silk, which she had worn to t.lie luncheon. On investigation it was found that t.he turban was covered .with dull black silk paper and trimmed with bands of the same material. These hats are, unfortunately, very expensive, but the woman who Is determined to do her own millinery can get a few yards of silk tissue paper, crinkled and plain, and experiment with it. She can make tissue roses and trim her hat with them, and she will find that they wear extremely well. She can face her hat with the tough Japanese variety of paper, and can otherwise decorate it about just as she pleases. Of course, with the use of paper the cost of the hat is extremely small, aud she can have as many as she pleases without spending more than a few dollars. But a paper hat from the milliner’s costs quite a large sum. They are placing so much wofk upon the paper flowers and the trimmings that it becomes necessary to charge well for them. Besides they are said to bo so beautiful that they command a high price, and it is readily paid. The advantages of tissue paper are many, the principal one of which is the color, which is said to be quite steadfast. French tissue, Japanese and silk paper are used. The paper comes striped in all colors, flowered, crinkled and plain. It is as tough as silk and much more durable than mull or chiffon.—Philadelphia Record.

Grain-0 is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee, but costs about as much. All grocers sell it. lue. and 25c.
