A Chicago firm baa received ah order aggregating nearly $5,000,000 lor motooyoles in Paris. The moto cyole will have its innings in the great exposition which will usher in the new century. A button cut from the coat of Clen. Shafter during the Santiago campaign was recently raffled off at a charity bazar at AVichita, Kansas. Two hundred and fifty chances wero sold at 5 cents each. The government at Washington will appropriate $30,000 for a prac tical investigation of the flying ma chine as an aid in the prosecution if war. Evidently we haven't yet reached the disarmament period in our national progress. A Boston paper that has been fighting the retention of the Phil ippines now admits "we may as well look the fact in the face that we are to have the treaty and the Philippines." When Boston does find a fact and gets acquainted with it she clutches it with fervent ar dor. Following is tho record of train robberies in the United States: Iu 1890, 120; 1891, 16; 1892, 12; 1893, 33; 1894, 34; 1895, 49, 189G, 28; 1897, 30; 1898, 28; total number of train's held up in nine years, 246; total number of people killed, 88'; total number of people injured (shot) 77. A roan in Missouri was receuty fiued $20 for beating his mule and the next day was fined $2 for nearly killiiiR his wife. That raises a nice point. Our eastern friends wiil doubtless reason it out that it was but a new extract application of the old law of supply and demand; that wives re a drug in the mar ket, while the war has made mules ecarce. The rapid ris9 of the land about Hudson Bay is Baid to be the most remarkable gradual upheavel of an extensive region ever known. Driftwood covered beaches are now 20 to 60 or 70 feet above the water, new islands have appeared, and many channels and all the oid har bors have beoome too Bbullow for ships. At the present rate, the shallow bay will appear in a few centuries, adding a vast area of dry land or salt marsh to British terri tory' in America. A Manilla soldier boy writing to his home folks says: "The Auieri I can girls need not be afraid of the Philippine girls winning the hearts of their dear boys, for the belles in this country are not so very beau tiful, nor are they well versed in social ways or dress; as a rule, they go around barefooted or with sandals on their feet. They wear no hats at all, the Spanish women even not wearing any. The native girls resemble bleached out squaws, only they possess more regular foatures, and do not (how age." The Sulu islands, inoluded in the purchase of the Philippines by the United States are naturally a part of the Philippine group, being the southern portion. They are 162 in number and are mouutainous and fertile, producing an abundance of sugar, rice, coffee, spices, valuable woods ' and metals. The waters abound in good fish. There are 1,048 square miles in the group and 450 square miles in. Basilun, the largest island. The islands are in' habited by about 75,000 Malays whose ohiof occupation is alleged to be piracy. Spain's right to bo censidored the ownor of them was rooognized by the powers in 1885. Ownership of the Philippines would not be complete without them. NO. 2. A Spaniard told an American offi-' :er: ''What especially terrified our nen was the huge American negroes. tVe saw their ' big black - faces through the underbrush and they looked like devils." A young lieu tenant of the nineth U. 0. infantry, and a southerner at that, said: "Do you know, that I would not want anything better than to have a company in a negro regiment. I am from Virginia and have always had the usual feeling about com manding colored troops. But ' after seeing the charge up San Juan bill I should like the best in the world. to have a negro company.' They went up that bill shouting just as I have beard them when thev were hunting rabbits in Virginia. The Spanish bullets, only made them the wilder to reach the trenches." The largest railroad station in the world was thrown open to the public on New Year's day, when trains began to leave and enter the new Soutb Union station in Boston. The station cost about $14,000,000. Twenty-eight thousand people can tak seats at one time in the cars in the trainshed on the street level, and several thousand more in the substation under the other. The platforms will accommodate more than 100,000 people at one time. The granite eagle on the top of the front of the station was carved from a single block which weighed 20 tons. It took four granite cutters ihree months to do the work, and ihe figure now weighs 12 tons. The i-tock under the e.igle is the largest in the world, the dial being 14 feet ti diameter. It is warranted by its makers not to vary more than me second a mouth. How Is Your Wife? Has iiho lost her beauty? I. so, con stipation, Indigestion, sick headache are tho principal causos.

Some Qood Brief Paragraphs. From the PorUand Welcome. No wife should make her hus band feel that be is on an Arctic expedition every time he starts home. People in Seattle are so used to ueins hold up that when appearing in court to take oath they hold up both hands. The only difference between med dling and investigating, is that you always investigate and the other fellow meddles. History tells us that the ancient Egyptians honored a cat when dead. The ancient Egyptians were wise in their day and generation. The man who can't trust his wife to spend a few dollars judiciously must feel bad' when he thinks what she will do when she gets hold of his life insurance. A rich man sometimes tells his poorer brother that wealth is a curse but he seldom offers to prove his faith by dividing with him. it must be he loves his brother better than himself. The old pi-line which was set years age in country printiug offices all over the land and which reads "This is the time to pay up," was found at the hed of the editorial column of 3874 of our rural ex changes Inst week. What a howl would go up if the uewspiipers were to criticise the individuals as freely as people criti cise the newspapers.
