Intereatlns: Washing.
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?"

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.

who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the

Elephant's tail is said to be very deli
cious when washed, scraped and fried

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

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

CONSUMPTION CURED
AN ABSOLUTE REMEDY FOR ALL

T. A,
Sloeum Offer to Sand Two Bot-

Consumption and All Lung; Trouble
Aa Klixlr of Life
Nothing could be fairer, mora philan
thropic or carry more joy in its wake than
the offer of T. 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,

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

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.

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.

that secret is a man may know, even
though he cannot practise or approprl

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

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

"Victor Hugo Is not in the regiment,"
was the ciulet reidv. "He Is In the

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,
