lanKua^e talked by grip vlßfims is not Esperanto, but it is certainly some kin to a universal tongue this winter. The czar may send edilors to Siberia, but is powerless to prevent an enormous number of uncensored novels from circulating around the globe. There are 80,000 more women than men in Massachusetts. It will be necessary for the leap year girl who expects to succeed in that state to start early. The Mosquito Indians are indulging n an uprising, and the people who believed they were harmless individuals will probably feel that they have been “stung.” Gradually the recalcitrants are becoming reconciled to the absence of the motto that formerly adorned the new coins. Anyhow, they are making less fuss about it.

If this money scarcity in Germany keeps up much longer some peerless leader over there will be tempted to propose the free and unlimited coinage of frankfurters.

A famous Mexican volcano is for sale. It would not be a bad Idea for some of the fire-eaters in congress to invest in its sulphurously eruptive qualities as an aid to their oratory. A man in New York committed suicide because his wife stayed out late at night. It is a pretty good thing that the average woman is not affected to such an extent by a recreant husband. “Lord Curzon would like to sit in the house of lords,” says the Chicago Post.

A French paper says: “American men marry for love, but the women for money.” Tn France all hands marry for money, and they bargain and haggle beforehand like pugilists wrangling over the weight question. A chair pusher at Atlantic City found a purse containing S4OO acd received a reward of 12 cents for returning it to the owner. What did he expect? It didn't take him more than a minute to find it, and at 12 cents a minute that amounts to $7.20 an hour, which is pretty good pay for these times, particularly on work which does not require a long course of training to fit one for.

^^^^^^^M^^oui^volunteer system and our National Guard. Those of our foreign critics who profess to see military weakness in the system which ’"B served so far very well forget, or ,atner do not appreciate, the value of individual intelligence and practical patriotism as against a large standing army of trained human automatons. They forget, too, how the forced conscription laws and the burden of standing armies are handicapping the resources of Europe, compared with our own vast industrial development, ' A Gothamite, anxious to be useful ' after death, has ordered in his will , that his bones shall be made into hut- I tons, his skin tanned and turned into ' bags and other parts of his body be made into violin strings, these interesting souvenirs to be given to his friends. He is especially anxious about the violin strings, as he wants to furnish music for the living to enjoy after he is dead. Between buttons and violin strings he ought to be able to fasten attention at least for a time upon his post-mirtem philanthropy.

GENERAL STOESSEL TO DIE “HERO OF PORT ARTHUR" GIVEN DEATH SENTENCE. Military Court Pronounces Notice of Fate—lnferior Officers Allowed to Escape. St. Petersburg—Lieut. Gen. Stoessel, once known as “the Hero of Port Arthur,” was condemned to death Thursday evening by a military court for the surrender of that fort to the Japanese. Gen. Fock, who commanded the Fourth East Siberian division of Port Arthur, was ordered reprimanded for a disciplinary offense, which was not connected with the surrender, and Gen.

By a great effort of self-con-trol, Gen. Stoessel maintained a rigid soldier-like impassivity. Gen. Smirnoff also was seemingly unmoved, but there were tears in the eyes of Gen. Reiss. • The sentence of death was pronounced upon Gen. Stoessel, “for surrendering the fortress before all the means of defense had been exhausted; for failing to enforce his authority, and for military misdemeanors.” HARRIMAN WINS CONTROL. Chicago Judge Dissolves Writ Forbidding Use of Proxies. Chicago. — E. H. Harrtaan won complete control of thp" Illinois Central railroad Thursday, when Judge Farlin Q. Ball dissolved the injunction restraining the voting of 286.231 Harriman proxies. Stuyvesant Fish was knocked out and the Harriman victory was absolute. Judge Ball not only dissolved the Fish injunction but settled the more important point that foreign corporations may hold and vote stocks in Illinois corporations. Had the decision been otherwise the voting power of $400,000,000 worth of Illinois stocks would have invalidated. Accept American Terms.

DO GOOD FOR POOR PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT'S CHAR- j ITY BUREAU IN BERLIN. Officers for This Department Chosen with Great Care—Are to Work for the Improvement of Social Conditions . A national charity bureau exists in i Prussia, controlled by the premier. The idea was carried out in concrete form by the provisions of a law passed by the Landtag in April, 1905. Its duties are as follows: First, to follow the development of charity work and keep the government j informed of this development; second, | to advise the state of conditions which i Justify change in existing laws or the I passing of new law's, or which sug- j gest change in government methods; ! third, to draw up opinions and make proposals which will help in framing laws for the benefit of the people; * fourth, to take general control of relief stations in case of great calamities. It will also be the duty of the department, first, to establish relations between different charity organiza- ; tions, suggest improvements in the methods of these organizations and ! economize the forces of the various . -^t-ii-itt^s^eoxul^to^follow the progress of charitable work aniTTmntT—J and collection of all literature relating to the subject; third, to give information and advice in reference to philan- . thropic endeavor when requested to do i so; fourth, to make reports to the state at short intervals in reference to I the development and progress of the ; work in the nation at large; fifth, to ' draw up opinions and make proposals : for the improvement or better organization of the charity propaganda in part or as a whole; sixth, to take charge of the development of the work iin any section: seventh, to assist in putting in operation any suggestions ;or plans which may be made or I w’orked out for the improvement of social conditions. The bureau is a large one and the officers are chosen with a care justified by its Importance. The main j body consists of a general assembly, i which is composed of members of the liberal professions, public bodies and individuals and societies engaged in charitable work. The second division is known as the advisory committee and is composed of 48 members. Os these 30 are elected by the directors and 18 are chosen by the state. Finally, the directors form a group of 24 persons. Rare Paintings Discovered. Many rare and valuable paintings ave just been discovered in one of the subterranean passages of the State college here.

After having been seriously Bl for several weeks Mr. Tyte-Phist was declared to be out of danger. “What’s the use of getting well?” he groaned, when the attending physi- ! cian broke the news to him. "I'll have to pay your bill, and I know it'll be a mighty steep one!" “What of that, my friend?" soothingly spoke the doctor. "Think what it costs to die in this town." Mr. Tyte-Phist reflected a moment. “That's so,” he said, his voice growing stronger. "1 hadn't thought of that.” Bald Men in House of Commons.

Seeing two geese hung up for sale one of the rogues inserted in the gullet of the goose a little bulb with whistle attached. When the bulb was pressed the whistle sounded. Then, entering the store, he told the proprietor that he had hanging outside a very rare kind of whistling goose. The proprietor at once sold the goose for a big sum to a very learned professor, who was astonished to hear about the whistling goose. Seeking the man who had placed the whistle in the gullet of the bird, the proprietor asked him if he knew where others like it could be obtained. “Well," said the crafty fellow. “I know of only one place, and If you will pay me a big price I will get several for you." So the rogue brought a dozen fowls. In the gullet of each of which he thrust a whistle, and was paid an exorbitant price for them before the hoax was discovered. TERRIBLE.

The Making of a Journalist. Henry H. Ashton, a Virginia City capitalist, has in his library, richly bound in crushed Levant, those early volumes of the Virginia City Enterprise to which Mark Twain contributed. The faded pages contain innumerable specimens of the famous writer s quaint humor. Mr. Ashton often points cut the first paragraph that Mark Twain wrote on his arrival in Virginia City. The paragraph runs: "A thunderstorm made Beranger a poet, a mother’s kiss made Benjamin West a painter and a salary of sls a week makes us a journalist.” Modus Vivendi.

Physiological Problem That Nora Could Not Solve. । A Philadelphia physician tells of an amusing conversation between two Irish girls in domestic service who, I while on the board walk at Atlantic City one day not long ago, were exchanging views as to their various physical ailments. “It's a sthrange thing, ain’t it, Norah," asked one of the girls, “how manny new koinds of diseases people get these days.

Chance for Conversion. In the ante-bellum days, when Anson P. Morrill of Maine was making his first run for congress, a henchman of his opponent met an old minister of that section slowly jogging along the road on his old horse and hailed him with: “Who are you going to vote for?” “Well," said the old man, “I thought I should give Anson a vote.

When he has served his two years if he doesn't believe in a hell I shall be very much surprised.” Rather Neatly Put. A Baltimore man had until recently a darky in his employ —about as shiftless and worthless a darky, says he. as ever he came across. One day the employer, his patience exhausted, called Sam into his office and told him to lock for another job. “Will you give - me a letter of recommendation” asked Sam, piteously. Although he felt that . he could not conscientiously comply . with this request, the Baltimore man s ’ heart was touched by the appeal. So he sat down to his desk to write a . non-committal letter of character for the negro. His effort resulted as fol- ■» lows: "This man, Sam Harkins, has worked for me one week, and I am e satisfied."
