But the que President Fallieres” Blue Tie. The portraits of the new French Pres- ident which show him attending cere- monies of state in a blue business suit set off with a flowing blue tie with white dots are as faithful as the photo- grapbs which have come to hand. ‘‘At the first ministerial council,”’ writes the Paris correspondent of the London Pall Mall Gazette, ‘‘the Ministers, who had 2il come in solemn frock coats, were ; somewhat taken aback by the Presi-| dent’s free-and-easy costume; but the| hearty handshake with which he greet- ed them soon set them at their easé. M. Fallieres did mot display the slightest hesitation or nervousness. Without waiting for any invitation to take his seat, he installed himself at the head of the table and comemnced his duties with a little speech in which he told his Ministers that be intended to be quite frank with them and eriticize them freely if he thought it necessary. This. he intimated, was the best way of ghowing that he did not wish to pursue a personal poliey of his own.’” s | lish soldier e | le of approval upo ied some of the car- not merely of that de- nation, but of the Christian church, | hat expression is commonly inter- INSULTING A HORSE is a erime in Land of KAISER WILHELM How Some of the European Govern- ments Protect Thier Dumb - Brutes. No one has ever heard of a man being imprisoned for apostrophising a child with some coarse, coatemptuous or in- sulting epithet, and yet recent issues of the German press contain the record of a sentence of three weeks’ imprison- ment imposed upon a stableman em- ployed in the imperial mews, Potsdam, for having addressed a vile name to a favorite mare belonging to the Kaiser. Although this is the first instance that I can recall of a man being actually sentenced in a regular judicial way to imprisonment for the use of insulting language to a-horse belonging to the crown I have often seen troopers in crack cavalry regiments of European armies taken severely to task and threatened with punishment for talking roughly to their mounts, the welfare of which is a subject of infinitely greater solocitude to the officers than that of the men. For the horse is worth so h to the National Treasury in cold h, which the trooper is not—at any rate in count where military serv: jce is obligatory—and moreover the ad- vancement and promotion of tho com- mending officer depends as a rule far re upon the physical condition of the horses of his regiment than of its men. A year or so ago one of the leading n of stria, Count Paul Fes- instituted legel proceedings st a Viemese sporting paper for waving referred in a slighting manner to one race horses and the law- ided in his favor. the government, which e entire railroad try, issued not long as far as railroad placed the dog on re ‘level as a grown it was d Belgir svstem of the a decree whie vel is coneer solutely. the an or woman, chlid.

At Berlin, at Bonn, at Heidelberg and in other German university towns the principal personage of each corps or as- sociations of students is not the presi- dent nor the treasurer, mor even the “ ,’” but the corps dog, usually a brute of colossal proportions. On him all the financial resources are 'avished and the various corps vie w.th eac! other in providing their own particular dog with the most gorgeous collar and If he is handsome he is kept thed and brushed; if he is ugly his ess is enhanced to the limit by re- kable cutting and shaving of his ears, his tail and his coat, and even dyeing. The corps dog takes part in every official ceremony of his corps. He generally dies of cirrhosis of the liver or of gout, brought on by the enormous | quantities of beer which he drinks and by the extremely dissipated life which he leads. | In gland, too, animals are held ac- { cording to all appearance in far higher esteem than human beings. Vulpicide |or the killing of foxes is an infinitely | more heinous offense in the eyes of the general public, and especially of the classes, than theft, robbery or assanlt. Cruelty to animals, especially to horses {and dogs is invariably punished by the | English magistrates with infinitely | greater severity than the ill-treatment | of women and children, and John Leach was not so far wrong when he pub- lished in London Punch his popular car- !icature of an English costermonger tak- |ing away the last remaining drop of milk from his ziling infant in order to i give it to his bull pup. {,.

Consul Goldschmidt of Nantes, France, in reporting on ‘the commerce of that | place says in the Daily Consular and Trade Reports: The opening of the maritime canal of the lower Loire has helped greatly to de- velop the commerce of the port of Nantes. Efforts are also being made to make the river Loire navigable for large « vessels by dredging a channel twenty-six feot deep from Nantes to the sea. The cost of the work is estimated at $6,- | 246,000. | The value of exports from Nantes to the United States for the fiseal year 1905 | | amounted to $306,041, an increase of | :$G5.M7 compared with 1004, icipal articles exported were sardines, valued at $256,987; glycerine, $12,730; | mushrooms, $9,898, and sprouts, $7,052. The chief articles of import from the United States are phosphates and timber. | There is an excellent market in Nantes | for the following articles of American imake: Leather for shoetops, shoes, cffice The prin- furniture, wood pulp, cotton seed ard eot- | BIG EARTHQUAKES OF 18¢5 AND 1868 ARE RECALLED | i pir i Other Disturbances Caused Considerable Demand Investigation of Deaths Not l | | Property Loss, but Added Terror of Fire Was Missing.

The shock com- | menced in the form of slow, horizontal | movements, while the movements of the great earthquake iof 1865 were perpen- dicular. The efiect on buildings, too, of the earthquake of 1868, was widely d#ifferent from that of 1865. In the |latter glass was broken and shivered !into atoms in all the lower parts of the |city by the perpendicular oscillations, while comparatively few walls were | shaken down or badly shattered. | ““The earthquake of 1868 broke very |little glass, but the damage by the fall- |ing of cornices, awnings and walls was | immense. Mantel- ornaments and i1shelved crockery were everywhere | throw down and broken. Topheavy ar- | ticles of furniture tumbled over; tanks |and dishes containing water or other | liquids slopped their contents; clocks |stopped running; dorbells rang; tall | structures, like steeples and towers, { were seen to sway, and the motion of |the earth under the feet was unpleas- lantly plain to walkers; horses started and snorted, exhibiting every sign of | fear, and in some cases dashing off cu- riously with their riders; dogs crouched, | trembling and whining, and fowls flew to the trees, uttering motes of alarm. | The panic among women and children ;was, for a time, excessive, and their | cries and tears were very moving. | ‘At Oakland the shock was very se- ;vere, throwing down chimneys and greatly damaging buildings. In several !localities the ground opened, and a | strong sulphurous smell was noticed af- {ter the shock. The courthouse at San | Leandro was demolished, and one life |lost. At San Jose scveral buildings were injured. The large brick court- {house was wrecked. The shock was | light at Marysville and Sonora, and | severe at Grass Valley. “‘It was also felt, with a great deal {of severity, in Stockton, Sonoma, San | Lorenza, Alvarado, San Mateo, Peta- {luma, Vallejo and Sacramento.

S | SPECIMEN OF BIRD-EATING SPIDER AT LONDON Z0O | Insect With Pendant for Flesh of Feathered Tribe Is Placed on Exhibition. There has just been deposited in the linsect house at the zoo a specimen of i the bird-eating spider, says the London | Daily Graphie, which ears its name by ! occasionally including in its menn some |of the brilliantly hued humming birds {and varicolored finches of the South American tropics. | It is doubtful whether the silken | threads which he spins in profusion con- stitute his most effective tackle for se- {curing his prey; indeed, it is more prob- (able that little birds get caught j through alighting npon the banana and ) cther leaves, in the twisted folds of which the spider makes his home. The similar- { ity of his coloring to the bark of trees, to which he attaches himself, is also a i powerful factor in enabling him to ap- proach his prey. !snare so many beautiful birds are a se- rious annoyance to the traveler when rid- ,irg cr driving through the lees frequent- |ed forests. As they continually strike | the face, one is reminded of some fiendish | motor trap on the Surrey roads. The bird-eating spider is much smallel although not less ferocious in appearance, | than the famous tarantula. The body of |a full-grown tarastula is as big as a [han ’s egg, and on an average it gives i from twenty to forty yards of silk, the weaving of which was expeeted at one | time to prove a very considerable indus- try in scme of the Austraiian colon: The silken ohtput of the hird-eating sy der is greater in proportion.

R e S L, ELOPERS HOLD UP PARSON AND FORCE HIM TO TIE KNOT | Quartet of Lovers Secure Services of Minister by Adopting Dick Tur- pin Methods. Since the days of Dick Turpin and Claude Duval the methods of the high- wayman have shown but little variety, says the (Cleveland Plain Dealer. An exception to this general rule of the road must be noted in the case of the pastor of a rural New York charge whose duty recently led him along a lonely highway near the village of Hopewell, in that State. It was even- ing and unusually dark for the hour. The pastor, his mind engrossed by his errand, was quietly trudging along, when, without warning, two unpleasant looking strangers sprang from the way- side bushes and halted him. They were powerful built fellows, and the pastor was unarmed. He felt that discretion was the better part of valor and pre- pared to hand over his modest valu- ables. ‘‘ Are you a parson?’’ one of the high- waymen demanded. The pastor admit- ted the fact, and no doubt hoped it would secure him a rebate of some sort. ““You are the very man we want,”’ said the other highwayman. He whis- tled softly, and two young women sud- denly emerged from the shadows. ‘‘We want you to marry us, and do it as speedily as possible,’’ said the first highwayman. ‘Whereat the relieved pastor, having no desire to argue the matter, hastily performed the double marriage cere- mony for the elopers and was rewarded with a substantial fee. Then the wed- ding party bade him good night and disappeared in the gloom, leaving the pastor to resume his lomely journey along the dusky highway.
