FB By E. Kiley. GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA, Only what we have wrought into our characters during life can we take away with us. Laziness is contagious, while it is al- mest impossible to spread industry, even by inoculation. + There are too many people who im- agine they are privileged to worry their living out of their neighbors. There is nothing which marks more decidedly the character of men and os nations than the manner in which they treat women. The fact that you cannot change the whole world should not prevent yout trying to smooth over a few of thq rough spots in the path that somebody has to walk. Some of the experts employed dur4 ing the trial of Maria Barberi charged $300 a day for their services. The en- tire cost of expert testimony in this | trial was $10,000, and in the case of Dr. Meyer the expert testimony cost $62,- 000. District Attorney Olcott intends to draft a bill to be presented to the New York legislature enabling the city to employ its own experts at a stated salary, A short time ago some of thepupils attending the Riverside schoo] in Mon- treal took into the school a quantity of cured smoking tobacco. By way of punishing them, W. A. Kneeland, the principal, made an infusion of the | weed in a glass of water, and compelled | a number of the offenders to swallow some of the nauseating dose. Mr. Knee- land was summoned before tha board of school commissioners and _ repri- manded for infraction of the regula- tious on punishments. The board de- clared that in future the av*horized | modes of punishment must be adhered to. Summaries of the results of estab- ing postal savings-bank’ systems in li a few important countries have been | printed. Among these countries are England, France, Russia and Austria- Hungary. The main feature of the sys- tems is that the government, through its post-offices, is the custodian of de- posits in small amounts, especial at- tention being paid to encouraging the young to acquire the habit of saving. In England one person in every seven is a depositor in a pestal bank, and the total amount of the deposits in the keeping of the government is more than four hundred million dollars. Al- though the system has never been test- ed in the United States, its adoption has been urged by various public offi- cials of high rank; and it is probable than the more than satisfactory results ° in foreigh cviiitries will lead to its ' establishment here. The largest national debt is that of ; France, which is $6,000,000,000, or near- ly double the debt of England, which is second on the list with $3,300,000,000. | Austro-Hungary is third, with $3,030,- 000,000; Russia fourth, with $2,875,000,- 000, and poor old Italy fifth, with. $2,- 530,000,000; the United States seventh, with $996,141,952. Though Spain is sixth, she is the only one of the lot which may be said to be completely bankrupt. Her debt is $1,395,000,000. As far as lending power is concerned the French are altogether the richest people in the world, for it is an invaria- ble rule in France to lay aside a certain percentage of one’s income, no matter how small the income is. Fotlowing is the comparative list of the debts of all countries owing over $500,000,000 in 1896: France, $6,000,000,000; England, $3,300,000,000; Austro-Hungary, $3,030,- 000,000; Russia, $2,875,000,000; Italy, $2,- 530,000,000; United States, $996,141,952; ' Spain, $1,395,000,000; Germany 420,000,- 000; Australasia, $1,200,000,000; Turkey, $300,000,000; Portugal, $765,000,000; In- | dia, $635,000,000; Brazil, $590,000,000; Egypt. $530,000,000. The total amount of interest on the world’s debts approx- imates $1,115,000,000 annually. Twen-' ty years ago it was as much as $1,000,- 000,000, in spite of the fact of the pres- ent increase in the indebtedness of more than $5,000,000,000. In 1875 Spain and Mexico were,paying as high as 15 and 18 per cent. Considering the amount of her indebtedness, France pays the lowest amount of interest. She pays out $185,000,000 a year in interest, as against England’s $125,000,000, Rus- sia’s $120,000,000, Austro-Hungary’s $185,000,000. In round numbers, / but in fact, almost $1,000,000 more than France, though her debt is only $30,000,600 more than half as much, Italy’s $117,000,000, and Spain’s $56,000,- 000. Every Frenchman pays toward the interest on his country’s debt each year $4.75, every Russian $1.20, every Englishman $3.15, every Austrian or Hungarian $7.50, every Italian $3.80, which comes harder than the Austrian’ | $7.50, every Spaniard $3.25, every United Statesian 42c, every Portugues $3.90, and every German 33c. . The sheriff of Crown Point, Ind., sold | “Buck” and “Jim,” his two man-hunt-: | ing bloodhounds, to the state of Min- nesota, for a handsome price. Minne- sota will use the dogs'to watch the state prison and track criminals whe | escape. A great many have recently | succoeded in getting away and the | state will now adopt this method of catching them. A man can pass unnoticed in a crowd unless he does something to ex- cite envy, and then notoriety comes at | him on wheels, THE NEWS RESUME.

She wa going down to the levee ferry landing to go over to Hast St. Louis to visit a friend whom so unkind fate had . driven over there.
