Interesting Washing;.
An amusing little story ia 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
upon them, by the aid of a tiny pencil,
he took down his notes and impressions
in all sorts of places, unobserved by
those around him.
At first his laundress was greatly puz
zled 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, "your last washing was very
interesting, but we had less political
news than the week before. Is i not so?"

Curious Insurance.
A curious form of life insurance is
springing up in French manufacturing
towns under the name of LaFourmi
(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 $510 at 51. 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.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
. leal ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That ia why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andia
everywhere esteemed BO highly by all
ivho value good health. 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 ia therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that yon 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, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely

SOUTH AFRICAN COOKERY.
The Native Bill of Fare Carries Dismay
to the White Man.
. A very palatable dish is made of an
elephant's foot by putting it in a bole,
building a fire around and over it and
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 practiced 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 boil without injuring greatly the
surrounding hide. At the end of an
hour the oontents are cooked and the
water has become a very fair soup, but
a little peculiar on account of the
amount of cinders, sand and fragments
of stone it contains. Still another tribe
cook locusts, grasshoppers, katydids and
the like, and say they taste a great deal
like an overcooked shrimp. None of the
native tribes, so far as known, ever eat
the lion, bnt they have no such feeling
toward other oarnivora.
The jackal, wolf and fox are more or
less popular, and are reported to give a
very palatable meat. Where our people
bang 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
several days. -Wo civilized 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 mon
key tribe share the same fate. In the
districts where they are employed as
food they are very timid and fly at the
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

AN ABSOLUTE REMEDY FOR ALL

the cure or consumption and all pulmon

who is Buffering from lane trouble or con-

will arrest the approach ot death. Already
this remedy, by its timely use, has per

as an early visitor.
Knowing his remedy aa he does, and be

to donate his infallible remedy where it
will assault the enemy in its citadel, and,
by its inherent potency t stay the current
of dissolution, bringing joy to homes over
which the shadow ot the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap

RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.'
The Dnke of Westminster Ia Award
ed that Distinction.
His grace the Duke of Westminster,
honest man, sleeps easily. Though his!
children number some seven living, and
he has grandchildren too many to be'
reckoned readily, yet he has no fear for
the morrow. The duke is probably the
richest man in the world. LI Hung
Chang has been rated higher, and
Americans in their pride claim greater
wealth for Mr. Rockefeller, but, ev
erything considered, the Duke of West-
DUKE OF 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 as 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. Rocke
feller's Is largely in stocks and se
curities. The duke's is principally real
estate. Its value and earnings 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 $4,000,000 to $5,
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 $175,000,000.
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 next election.
He is a truly democratic peer making
the true distinction between democracy
and the vulgarity and viciousness of
Aylesfprd, Queensberry and other no
torious aristocrats dead and alive. He
Is beloved of his tenantry and admired
by people of all classes whether they
are his 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 hunting field
that his 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, Baton
Hall, is situated. This is in Chester,
near Hawarden, the home of Glad
stone. The lords of the stud are the
great Ben d'Or and Ormonde.
The duke, who describes himself as
being in the prime of life, was born
October 18, 1825, and is now in his
seventy-first year. He has been mar
ried twice, the first time in 1852. His
wife was Lady 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
1880, and in 1883 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 him for his
trouble. The following day the visitor
rode out to the bunt and in the master
of the hounds, who was also lord lieu
tenant of the county and Duke of West
minster, he recognized his 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 his 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 his
Identity to explain his refnsaL
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 f or 'horsepond) into which his
body had been thrown. Numberless
people saw it, and the crime was duly
brought home. Even the skeptical ad
mitted that this ghost seemed to be an
authentic one. Rut some years after,
a dying man making his confession said
that he invented the ghost. He wit
nessed the crime but was threatened
with death if he divulged It as he wish
ed to, and the only way be saw out of
the impasse was to affect to see the
ghost where the body was found. As
soon as he started the story, such is the
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 murderers brought to justice.

Senator David Bennett Hill will be
53 Aug. 29. He is a New Yorker by
birth, and his juvenile days were spent
on a farm. His mother was left a wid
ow, and David, her eldest son, was com
pelled to go to work, when very small.
At the age of 11 he commenced to sell
newspapers, candy, peanuts, etc., on
the New York Central trains, and was
probably the first urchin who ever en
gaged in that business in the United
States.

ernor of the State, was so attracted by
the lad that he took him into his law
office at Elmira. 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 he 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 entertains a num
ber of the prominent men from various
portions of tne country from time to
time. For society he 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 groat
deal of valuable time, for not long since,
when complaining that Congress was
doing so little, he made the point that
the men might be 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. He
seems to think that this Isn't his 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.

Not the Same.
A terse and clever characterization
was that by which Beranger, the poet,
summed up Victor Hugo's relation to
the great republican spirit of France.
Hugo, although it is said that he was
not a republican at the very begin
ning of his career, became a most en
thusiastic and outspoken one. He rep
resented the pictorial, dramatic side
of popular feeling and became so pic
turesque a figure in French politics
that he could not have failed to serve
as a popular Idol.,:,'
Beranger, who was a republican of
the simplest type, notwithstanding hie
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
ing out of the; Palais-Bourbon. "I shall
feel obliged," 'said the poet, " if you will
see me homefor I do not feel at all
welL Those violent scenes inside are
there are not to my taste. I am not at
all well," he continued, with a wistful
smile; "I have been accused of having
held the plank over which Louis Phil
ippe went to the Tuileries. 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
stituent Assembly. "You ought to be
pleased," said bis friend. "Victor Hu

"Victor Hugo is not In the regiment."

LICENSE FOR DRINKERS.
Provisions of a Temperanee Measure In
troduced in tne Iowa IiSflslatttre.
Among the extraordinary measures
introduced into the general assembly of
Iowa during the first week of its exist
ence was a bill sent to the senate com
mittee on the ' suppression of intemper
ance, which provides that any person
wishing to indulge in intoxicating liq
uors shall first procure a regular license
from the municipal government under
which he lives before being allowed to
buy at dramshops and mulct saloons.
The idea of the proposed law is to dis
courage drunkenness by forcing drink
ers to exhibit their desires in public and
to disgust them by forcing them to'show
to the bartender a parchment with a
green seal and blue ribbons before be
ing allowed to drink his potion.

the bill was a surprise to his friends. -
The bill provides that every person
wishing to take a drink shall, secure a

license city councils are empowered to
charge $2, the privileges conferred there'

BANK PRESIDENT BEALS.
The Great Financier. Found Health In Palne's
Celery Compound.
Prominent among the New England
men whose brains and energy have
helped to make the western states rich
and powerful is General David T.
Beals, president of the Union national
bank of Kansas City. Successful in his
many enterprises, he lives today in a
fine mansion at the corner of Indepen
dence and Wabash aves. ,
The work and the responsibility in
cumbent upon the president of so im
portant a banking institution as the
Union national would endanger the
sturdiest health. Gen. Beala' clear
headedness and good sense were as
manifest in the ohoioe of a remedy as
in his business enterprises. He
strengthened his tired nervous system
by the use of Paine' s celery compound.
Its invigorating, health-giving effects
justified his expectations, and showed
in his own oase the remarkable power
of this much-discussed remedy for thor
oughly restoring and strengthening the
"run-down" system.
"I found Paine's celery compound
an agreeable tonic and soothing to the
nerves," says General Beala.
These are the concise words of com
mendation characteristic of the con
servative business man and the influen
tial banker, who has learned to weigh
well his words.
