A. St Louis paper editorially
exposes the faulty pedigree of the
English Tudor dynasty. Atone
point where a marriage would have
been proper there was none. The
S. F. Alta thinks it i3 a .wonder
h Tudors were not found ouw
before.
The editor of the" Pomeroy In

Agassiz is'said to have summed
up the result of his whole life in a
single -sentence. The work of
great movements,.like the work of
great men, may often be summa

Rich copper ore has boon dis
covered in the Cascade mountains,
about ten miles from the line of
the Seattle & Eastern railroad.
The finder says he has a ledge

During the session of the late
Nebraska legislature Mr. Wyman,
of Douglas, was suddenly seized
with a spasm of reckless frankness

It was the most sensible and
truthful resolution ever adopted

A young farmer, Ed. W. Brete,
evaded a claim for 44 for the
maintenance of a child bbrn out of
wedlock, by declaring he was un
der twenty-one years of age when
the child was born and entitled to
protection under the- infancy relief
act on the ground that his son was
not a "necessity, and the question
of necessity ivas gravely discussed
and decided in Bretejs favor,- and
so the unhappy infant gets no sup
port from his infant father.

John Gareett, in a recent
speech, is reported to have said
that if the Lord had told Adam on
the day that He breathed the breath
of life into him that He wpuld
give him $25,000 a year for taking
care of the garden, and Adam had
kept his job and drawn his salary
regularly until now, he would not
have drawn as large a sum as Wm.
H. Vanderbilt left at his death.
Commenting upon this statement,
and to show how interest can get
-away with wage earnings, the Du
buque, la., Times says: "Had
Adam, while in the garden, found
one of our bisj copper "cents and
placed it at compound interest
with Satan or the serpent at 6 per
cent. he would have more money
coming to him than there is on" the
face of the globe.

Vermilion station, Minn., was griev
ously pained at the passage of the
high license w, whioh compelled
the four saloon keepers of thjit place
to. pay $500 license into the town
treasury. Finally a solution to the
vexed question was found. The four
saloon keepers were sworn in as spe
cial policemen of Vermilion, and their
salaries;, fixed at $400 a year each.
Then they took out their licenses at
$500 each. In this way the village of
Vermilion licenses its saloon keep
ers at $100 a year each to sell liquor.
