AFTER EXCITING CONTES1 Polish Expropriation Bill Ratified by Prussian Upper House. Berlin, Feb. 29.—Few legislative Teasures of recent years have excited such deep interest among the people as the Polish expropriation bill, the principle of which was ratified in the Prussian house of lords, nor has any :measure produced such sharp antag onism in the highest circles of Ger man society. It was noticed in the ‘house of lords as a striking circum- 'stance that a number of persons hav. ing the closest relations with Em- peror William voted against the gov- .ernment. The strength of the opposi- tion was with the great aristocratic landholders, who rejected the prin- «ciple of expropriation because it might prove a dangerous precedent later should the Socialists come to power. One of the great landlords even expressed apprehension lest the Radicals, if they ever secured the wupper hand, would use the present Dbill as a warrant for dispossessing the German owners of large estates. The Conservative speakers taunted the government with passing a meas: ure that can give satisfaction only tc the Socialists, inasmuch as it is based on the Socialistic principle of the supremacy of the state over the rights of private property. The measure now returas-to the chamber. which is expected to accept the slight changes made by the house of lords without encountering serious difficulty. Regarding Food Preservatives. ‘Washington, Feb. 29.—The use in small quantities of bensoate of soda and sulphur dioxide as food preserva- tives will be permitted, pending the formal action of the referee board of comsulting scientific experts, accord- ing to an order issued by the depart- ment of agriculture. A Doubtful Guarantee. The Arabs and, indeed, all Moslems ‘have the practice of re-enforcing prom- ises by adding to their word of honor the Arabic phrase Inshallah (“Please God”). How much meaning it conveys in some lands of the east is told in the pages of “In Moorish Captivity.” The pious previso is a very useful formula to the Moors and is frequently used in making promises that they haye no intention whatever of keeping, as they can then take refuge behind the Almighty when they are taxed with their breach of faith, There is a story told of a man who kept a shop in Gibraltar and who knew the ways of the Moor. To him one day came one of the faithful, who was desirous of buying some cloth. On being informed that the price was $2 a yard, payment in sixty days, he replied: “All tight. I will take so much and will pay you in sixty days, Inshallah.” “No,” sald the vender, “the price is i $2, payment in sixty days. For sixty days, Inshallah, the price is $2.50.” The First Reporter. The modern reporter harks back to the reign of Queen Anne and to the unknown scribe who attempted to tell the pablic the secrets of her parlia- ment. He had a hard time of it, for parliacnent wished to keep its secrets to itself. In 1728 an order was passed “that it is an indignity to and a breach of the privilege of this house for any person to presume to give in written or printed newspapers any account or minute of the debates or proceedings; that upon discovery of the authors, printers or publishers of any such newspapers ‘this house will proceed against the offenders with the utmost severity.” During the famous Wilkes case in 1772 the reporters won the vic- tory which they have since held with- out dispute—New York American.

When the Lights Went Cut. Almost every speaker had the experlence of the house becoming to tally dark because of the failure of the electric-lights. Here Is such an expe- rlence by one lecturer. It was in Pitts burg; the audience was a Hebrew so- clety. When the lights went out, the lecturer waited a moment and then sald, “We will proveed anyway, for 1 still have the Israel-lites.” It was the hit of the evening.—Lyceumite and Talent. A Great Secret. At some of the Engiish country fairs velopes at twopence apiece. Here is the secret: “Never buy an article be- fore examining it. If you had known this before, you would not have paid twopence for this worthless envelope ‘when you could get more than two dozen good ones for the same price.” A Thackeray Slip. Thackeray asked Lowell to point out candidly any error of Queen Anne English in the novel “Henry Esmond.” Lowell asked if people used at that time the phrase “different to.” “Hang it all!” cried Thackeray. “No, of course they didn’t.” TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.
