An amusing little story is told in con nection with a French journalist, who in his early days as a reporter had a deeply rooted aversion to the regulation notebook of his order, and hit upon a method of taking notes which afforded him great satisfaction. He wore large white linen cuffs, and npou them, by tho aid of a tiny pencil, be took down his notes and impressions in all sorts of places, nnobseried by those around him. At first his laundress was greatly pus sled by these peculiar ornamentations, but as time went on she learned to de cipher many of them, and gathered the news of the week from her patron's cuffs, much to her delight One night, when she took home the washing, the journalist chanced to be coming out of his room as she entered. "Ah, monsieur," she said, dropping a courtesy, "jour last washing was very interesting, but we had less political news than the week before. Is not bo?" London Tit-Bits. Cartons Iasanaca. A enrions form of life insurance is springing up in French manufacturing towns under the name of La Fonrmi (the ant). The peculiarity is that the longer a man lives the less he becomes entitled to. The payment of $1 a month assures the payment of $1,000 to the heirs of a man dying before the age of 88, the payment diminishing propor tionately to f 510 at 61. The idea seems to be that if a man dies young his chil dren are likley to be in want, but that when he is 50 they will be able to earn their living.

Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when, you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co- only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere.

The Native BUI or Faia Carrlaa Dianas to tha White Mao. A very palatable dish is mads of an elephant's foot by putting it in a hole, building a fire around and over it ud keeping it going for five or six hours. Elephant's tail is said to be very deli cious when washed, scraped and fried until it is a rich brown. A novel way of making a stew is praoticed by one tribe, who use the animal s skin as a re ceptacle for water. Put in this water vegetables and pieces of meat and then add redhot stones. This generates vast Quantities of steam and makes the wa ter boll without injuring greatly me i surrounding hide. At the end of aa i bonr the contents are cooked and the ; water has become a very fair soup, but a little peculiar on account of the j amount of cinders, sand and fragments i of stone it contains. Still another tribe j cook locusts, grasshoppers, katydids and the Eke, and say they taste a great deal like an overcooked shrimp. None of the native tribes, so far as known, ever eat the lion, but they have no such feeling toward other caruivora. The jackal, wolf and fox are more or less popular, and are reported to give a very palatable meat Where our people hang mutton, game and the Immortal goose to season it and give it a rich flavor, many South American tribes se cure the same result by burying meat in the earth and leaving it there for t several days. JVo civilised man has ever been able to eat it in this condition, but the savages pronounce it a delicacy of extraordinary merit. Not alone is cannibalism practiced to a large extent, but our Darwinian cousins of the mcn kev tribe share the same fate. In the districts where they are employed as! food they are very timid and fly at the j sight of a human being even at great distance. In other territories, where they are unmolested, they are about as tame and fearless as in South America or India. In nearly all of these tribes the woman is the cook and the waiter, very often the butcher and sometimes the hunter. New York Mail and Ex press.

A. Slocuni, M. C, ot 183 Pearl street. New York. Perfectly conn dent that he has an absolute remedy for the cure of consumption and all pulmon ary complaints, he offers through this pa per to send two bottles free to any reader who is suffering from lung trouble or con sumption, also loss of flesh and all condi tions of wasting. He invitea those desir ous of obtaining this remedy to send their vnMM enii nnfttnftina address, and to re ceive in return the two bottles free, which will errant tha aDDroach 01 death. Already this remedy, by its timely use, has per-1 inanentlv cured thousands of casea which were given up, and death was looked upon as an early visitor. ... . . . Knowing hia remedy as he does, and be ing so proof-positive of its benebcent re- suits, Dr. Blocum considers it his religious duty, a duty which he owes to humanity, to donate his infallible remedy where it will assault the enemy in ita citadel, and, by ita inherent potency, stay the current of dissolution, bringing joy to homes over which the shadow ot the grave has been gradually growing mora strongly defined, causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap ness of the remedy offered freely apart from its inherent strength, is enough to commend it, and more so is the perject confidence of thegreat chemist making the offer, who holds out life to those already becoming emaciated, and says: "Be cured " The' invitation is certainly worthy of the consideration ot the afflicted, who, for years, have been taking nauseous nostrums without effect; who hare ostracised them selves from home and friends to live in mora salubrious climes, where the atmos phere is more congenial to weakened lungs, and who have fought against death with all the weapons and strength in their hands.

His Brace the Duke of Westminster,, honest man, sleeps easily. Though bis' children number some seven living, and he has giiiuy-hlldron too maay to be reckoned readily, yet he has no fear for the morrow. The duko is probably the richest man In the world. LI Hung Chaug has been rated higher, and Americans In their pride claim greater wealth for Mr. Rockefeller, but, ev erything considered, the Duke of West ni'KK or WESTMINSTER. minister's holdings will doubtless top those of the Chinaman and the Ameri can. He is certainly the heaviest own er of real estate in the world. There Is considerable uncertainty ns to the title of property in China. It is the subject's to-day; It may be the em peror's or It may be parceled out among other citizens to-morrow. Mr. Koeke feller's Is largely In stocks and se curities. The duke's Is principally real estate. Its value and earulngs are lit tle affected by outside causes. For a century indeed the only variation has been an increase of value and rentals. The duke is Interested In many com mercial enterprises and railway and other corporations, but as was said, the bulk of his belongings Is in the nature of real estate, business blocks, market places, houses and farms. His Income ranges from S4,00O,O0O to 55, 000,000 annually. It is not so great as that of several Americans, whose ag- gregate wealth is much less than that of Westminster, but If their returns are larger their risk Is greater. The duke's belongings, real and personal, amount to about 1175,000,000. The duke's popularity is as great as his wealth. If his position were elec tive and he were to resign, he would be returned again at the uext election. He is a truly democratic peer making the true distinction between democracy and the vulgarity and vlciousness of Aylesford, Queensberry and other no torious aristocrats dead and alive. He Is beloved of bis tenantry and admired by people of all classes whether they are bis dependants or otherwise. His popularity was not gained in politics or in diplomacy, but from association. His hospitality is boundless and his many ancestral seats are always filled with guests. The fire is alight the year round. It Is in the bunting field that bis grace finds greatest joy. He is a true sportsman, and Is careless whether farmers or princes accompany him In the chase. It is the game he seeks, not society. He is the best Judge of a horse in the United Kingdom, and Is not wholly theoretical in his informa tion. He can fit a racing plate to a horse's foot with the skill of a master smith. His horses are the pride of his life. His stud farm Is the estate on which his principal country seat, Eaton Hall, is situated. This is in Chester, near Ha warden, the home of. Glad stone. The lords of the stud are tne , B d.0r amj Ormonde, a " The duke, who describes himself as being In the prime of life, was born October 18, 1825, and is now In bis seventy-first year. He lias been mar- 1 rled twice, the first time In 1852. His wife was I-ady Constance Gertrude Leweson-Gower, daughter of George Granville, duke of Sutherland. They had eleven children, of whom six are now living. The first duchess died in 1SS0, and in 1S83 the duke married Katherine Caroline Cavendish, daugh ter of Lord Chesham. They have three children. In discussing the democratic ways of the duke Englishmen relate the story of a stranger who desired to see the art treasures of Eaton HalL He met an elderly man walking about the grounds, and from his dress, which was a semihunting costume and not too new, thought the man to be a retainer of the duke. The stranger asked the man to show him about the place, which the person did, pointing out, ex plaining and listening to the visitor's comments on the duke and the family with Interest and received with thanks a half sovereign to requite hlra for his trouble. The following day the visitor rode out to the hunt and In the master of the bounds, who was also lord lieu tenant of the county and Duke of West minster, he recognized bis guide of the day before. It Is explained by the en thusiastic fellow countrymen of the duke that the reason the great man did not decline the "tip" given him by the visitor was bis fear of disconcerting the stranger. It would have been so utterly out of character for an English servant to decline money that the peer would have been obliged to disclose bis Identity to explain bis refusal. It is a relief even to those who scorn to believe In the supernatural when a supposed ghost Is clearly proved to be of earthly origin. One of the most fa mous murder cases In Australia was discovered by the ghost of the murder ed man sitting on a rail of a nam (Aus tralian for horsepond) Into which his body had been thrown. Numberless people saw It, and the crime was duly : brought home. Even the skeptical aa I mltted that this ghost seemed to be an 1 authentic one. But some years after, a dying man making hla confession said I that he Invented the ghost. He wlt- ! nessed the crime but was threatened i with rlenth If he divulced It as he wish' ! ed to, and the only way he saw out of I the Impasse was to affect to we the ! soon as he started the story, such is tjie I power of nervousness that numerous other people began to see It, until its fame reached such dimensions that a search was made and the body found, and the murderer, brought to Justice. HILL A MISOGYNIST. SENATOR IS NOT A OANDIDATE THIS SEASON. Has Rleeo from a Peanut Boy to Hla Present roaitlon, with No Help Save Hie Own Mrnlne-HU Political Arnbl tlon.Under Reetralnt. Not II la Year. Senator David Bennett Hill will be 63 Aug. 20. He la a New Yorker by birth, and his Juvenile days were spent on a farm. His mother was left wid ow, and David, her eldest son, was com pelled to go to work when very small. At the age of 11 he eommeuced to sell newspapers, candy, peanuts, etc., on the New York Central trains, and was prolmbly the first urchin who ever en gaged In that business In the Uulted States. Young Hill eommeuced to make mon ey at the start, and some years later on Hon. Lucius Robinson, afterward Oor- SK.NATOB D. n. IlltX. ernor of the State, wus so attracted by the lad that he took him into his law otilee at Elmlra. Step by step Hill be gan to climb the ladder of fame, until he was Governor of New York three times, and then went to the Senate, where be has taken front rank as a de bater and worker. The Senator Is a, bachelor, and Is given up as a hopeless case, so far as venturing upon the matrimonial sea Is concerned. Mr. Hill gives frequent bachelor dinners and entcrta. a num ber of the prominent men from various portions of tbe country from time to time. For society be has no use, and avoids the ordinary dinners and recep tions, putting In most of his time In work and study. Evidently he thinks that men and women waste a grant deal of valuable time, for not long since, when complaining that Congress as doing so little, he made the point that the men might lie able to do more work In Washington If all the women were sent away while Congress was In ses sion. Mr. Hill declares to his friends that he will make no effort this year to se cure the presidential nomination, lis sems to think that this isn't bis year. It is his Intention, though, to take an active part In the campaign, no matter who is nominated; and he does not take a gloomy view of Democratic prospects. Admission to Community of Letters, It la not a community of writers, but a community of letters. One gets ad mission, not because be writes write he never so cleverly, like a gentleman and a man of wit but because he Is literate, a true Initiate Into the secret craft and mystery of letters. What that secret is a man may know, even though he cannot practise or approprl ate it. If a man can see the permanent element in things the true sources of laughter, the real fountains of tears, the motives that strike along the main lines of conduct, the acts which dis play the veritable characters of men, the trifles that are significant, the de tails that make the mass if he knew these things, and can also choose words with a like knowledge of their power to Illuftilnate and reveal, give color to the eye and passion to the thought, the secret Is his, and an en trance to that Immortal communion. Century. Not the Same. A terse and clever characterization was that by which Berangcr, the poet. summed up Victor Hugo's relation to the ureat republican spirit of ranee. Hugo, although it is sain mat ne was not a republican at tne very Degm. nine of his career, became a most en thuslastlc and outspoken one. He rep resented the pictorial, dramatic side of- DOPUlar feeling and became so pic turesque a figure In French politics that be could not have failed to serve as a popular idol. Bcrancer, who was a republican of the simplest type, notwithstanding his share In establishing Louis Philippe on the throne, defined the poet s attitude In one line. One day, says the Contemporary Re view, shortly after the revolution which overtoppled the throne, an ac quaintance of Beranger met him com Inz out of the Palais-Bourbon, "I shall feel obliged," said the poet, " If you will see me home, for I do not feel at all well. Those violent scenes Inside are there are not to my taste. I am not at all well," be continued, with a wistful smile; "I have been accused of having held the plank over which Louis Phil ippe went to the Tulleries. I wish I could be the bridge across the Channel on which he would return. Certain ly I would have liked a republic, but not such as we are having in there.' He pointed to the home of the Con stltucnt Assembly. "You ought to be pleased," said bis friend. "Victor Hu go Is In the same regiment with you."

LICENSE FOR DRINKERS. previsions of Temperance Measure In troduced la tha Iowa Misiaiar. , Among the extraordinary measures introduced luto the general assembly of Iowa during the first week of its elst sues was a bill sent to the senate oom inittoa on the suppression of lutein per anne, which provides that any person wishing to indulge in iutuxlcatrng liq uors shall first procure a regular license from the municipal government nnder which he lives before being allowed to buy at drmusliops and mulct saloons. The idea of the proposed law is to dis courage drunkenness by forcing drink ers to exhibit their desires In publio and to di"gnst them by forcing them to sliow to the bartender a parwhmeut with a green seal and blue ribbons before be ing allowed to drink his potion. Senator Perrlu Introduced the bill. He represents a constituency which is earnestly in favor of prohibition. He himself is chairman of the senate com mittee on the suppression of intemper ance, and he voted for the mulct mod ification of the state wide prohibitory law two years ago. His introduction of the bill was a surprise to his frionds. The bill provides that every person wishing to take a drink shall secure a license from the city council ot the oity or town in which he lives. For such license city councils are empowered to charge f 3, tho privileges conferred there under being extended for a period of IS mouths by the provisions on the face o( the license issued. The license shall be used to secure drink, which is to be consumed at a bar In the usual maimer. The license is not transferable. Any rolutive over 14 or any friend of the applicant for a li cense to drink muy apply to the city council and protest against the issuance of the licouso. Saloon keepers siish no noil to any person uot huvtng a license, and for each sule to persons not having rlcense to drink, the ssloon Keeper shall bo fluH 10 and the cost of suit. -Chicago Record.
