A Phnce Among Grafters.
One of the most nauseating devel-
opments of the Equitable Lite in-
surance scandal is the disclosure
that the hoary-headed degenerate
who sits in the United States senate
as the special representative of cer-
tain railway interests—Chauncey M.
Depew—has been drawing a pension
of $30,000 a year from the Equita-
ble as a reward for hit courteous as
sistance of other grafters to plunder
the society. Not satisfied with this
annual rake-off, he salted down
something like $ 100,000 or more of
the society's funds in a little real es
late speculation which was exploited
by a loan of $250,000 upon proper
ties worth hardly half that sum
This unctious grafter, who has by
disreputable and unlawful means
seized unto himselt more of other
people’s goods than would be repre
seated by the sum total ot the of
fenses of one-half of the thieves in
the New York penitentiary, poses
as an eminently proper and prudiahlv
pious exponent of "the be it” New
York society. His stale jokes are
essential to the rounding off ot every
champagne supper where the exclu
give set shuts out the canaille, and
bia oily tongue is called on to plead
for every scheme of plunder which
is ambitious enough to offer divi-
dends for polite thieves. The ap-
pearance of such a man in the
United Stdte* senate as the repre-
sentative ot the most densely popu-
lated state in the Union, is an insult
to every citizen ot the Republic who
professes to be honest. Compared
with his offenses against common
decency and good government the
crimes of Button and Mitchell are
as petty larceny to midnight burg
lary. If there is not enough ot
virtue lelt in the great state of New
York to take cognizance of. his
ordorific offenses, the senate should
make an effort by spewing him out
How can the nation assert any claim
to the cardinal virtues when such
notorious plunderer sits in the United
States senate as the spokesman of
the Empire State, and his knaveries
go uorebnked ?”—The Lantern.

Sakhakn, which is said to be the
bugbear ot the peace negotiations
now pending at Portsmouth, is a
long, narrow island in the North Pa-
cific, separated from Manchuria by
the Gulf ot Tartary, opposite the
mouth of fbe Amoor. The area of
the island is about 47,600 square
miles, being about 588 miles in
length and 120 in width. The cli-
mate of the country is almost Sibe-
rian. There are about 13,000 peo-
ple on this island, composed of
Russians, Chinese, Japanese, etc.
This island belonged formerly to
the Ckineae empire, from whom the
Japs got control of it. Later it was
a joint possession 'of Russia and
Japan, but the whole island was
- surrendered to Ruasia by Japan in
1875. jtbe land now belongs to
an by right of conquest.—Dallas

the kings of Egypt dug an artificial
lake of 950 square miles, 300 feet
deep a( some points, which they
connected with the Nile by a cane)
ten mile* long and 300 feet wide,
and which was controlled by means
of sluice*. In the succeeding centu-
ries this canal has become gradually
filled up and it now a fertile de-
pression. British engineers propose
to build another lake somewhat like
it, and not far from it, which will be
270 square miles in area, but which
cannot be as deep and cannot be na
high above the Nile as the old lake
To make up for the deficient supply
ot water the Assuoan reservoir will
be called upon when the level of
water in the projected lake sinks
down to the common level of the
Nile.
Russian peasants, goaded by act-
ual starvation,. and aroused by
false conception of liberty, are do-
ing vast damage in the interior ot
Ruasia, carrying off everything they
can seise that ia valuable and de-
manding money from the proprietors
of large estates.
The National bank notes now
outstanding are $504,787,025. The
total amount ot money in circulation

created about a hundred millions 1
year during the past six years.
This year's crop of prunes in Cal-
ifornia will be about 60,000,000

The freight rates on flour from
the Pacific Coast to the Orient have
been reduced from $5 oo^per ton to
$4.00, and the volume of business
has correspondingly increased. Dur-
ing eleven months ending May this
year there was shipped to Hong
Kong flour worth $3,812,362, and
to Japan $4,986,068.
The value of the forest products
of the United States is estimated
yearly at $575,000,000, And trees
are being cut ^own a great deal
faster than they grow. The prob-
lem looming up is where is lumber
to be had after a while. The tame
inquiry might be made as to iron

Recently a 120-foot iron and steel
span of the bridge across Crum

the weight on the drivers needed to

The homes of the Japanese are
just little doll bouses. Two sides
are usually of wood and the rest of
paper. The partitions are merely
large screens. These bouses never
_i vtojsfe canon of good taste—
simplicity. There is -uperfluou*
furniture and only one picture at" a
time upon their walls. This picture
is changed for another every day.
There ta always a graceful boquet
ot flowera .in the room, also, and
everything is absolutely and utterly
clean. Everyone takes off his shoes
before entering a home, ao there is
no reason why tbey should not be
dean.
In the houses birds often build
their nests, and it is considered e
good omen for a bird to come into
the bouse thus. It is said that toe
nests built within the house are
much more carefully and neatly
made than those outside.—Texas

On the same day that Booker

ington had written a letter to a white
lady of Brazos county suggesting

Wherever an Englishman finds bis
way he leaves traces behind in the
form of his favorite sport or pastime.
Civilisation bf this kind has just
touched the Bambeai. and the natives
are reported to have taken kindly to
a regatta.
Some of the events were interfered
with by what might be' termed local
elements. For example, the eight-oar
boat race was scarcely a conspicuous
success, owing to a stampede of ele-
phants Into tbe water at tbe Mart.
As a result, only one boat was left
to complete th^ course, and that one
was bitten in half by a hippopotamus
when about half-distance.
In the crocodile race a protest was
lodged in consequence of the winning
reptile arriving home with his Jockey
inside, having accidently swallowed
him for safety during a collision.
The natives engaged in the sailing
match fall In with an unfriendly tribe
half way down the river, and landed to
settle outstanding differences. This
happened two months ago, and U none
of the boats put in appearance before
the close of tbe year tbe time limit
clause will enable tbe committee to
set rood to perfectyfiealth-

If the rate of mortality maintained
by tbe late.regatta ta upheld, statis-

these riverside festivals may be held
* before the tribe becomes extinct.—

The Woman’s Long Good-By.
When a man wants to say good-hy
to another man with whom he has
been spending an hour or so hf fast
grabs his hat, shakes the other fel-
low's hand, says “sc^long" or "see you
later” and Is off. But a woman, hav-
ing said good-by tn the parlor, stops
at least seven times between there
and the vestibule -and makes a
stand an the stoop to talk tt all over
once more. It Would be better tor
men If they would cultivate more leis-
urely habits tn their dally Intercourse
with one another, which they would
be moved to do'if they more sedulous-
ly observed the lack of precipitancy
characterizing tbe association of wom-
en with their own kind.—Brooklyn
