He Loves His Family Far Better Than His Country. Alexander is, in the finest acceptation of the term, a family man; whenever he can enjoy home life, as he does only at Fredensborg, in Denmark, he is perfectly happy. This is all th more remarkable in a man whose sovereignty is absolute, who is almost a pope, who could, like his ancestor, Ivan the Terrible, cut off the | head of an architect to prevent his ever building a church finer than the one or- dered by his imperial master, whom none in his empire dare resist. 2 Alexander III can with a single stroke of his pen free several millions of serfs, but no one knows, probably no one cap guess, what he thinks, what he intends to do, what he will do. The most perspica- cious of for can only conjecture vaguely; he has no certainty. The czar is reticent, silent, self con- tained ; he shows no preference for any one; loves to be with the empress better than with all others; he is seriously af- fected by any illness or misfortune hap- pening to his children; he discounte- mances extravagances in his courtiers; will not hear of immorality at his court; prizes respectability, expects all those who surround him to conform to his | standard, and is intolerant of scandal. Under his reign the Russian court has as clean a record as any in Europe. Gould and Napoleon. “It makes me sinile,” the old gentle- man said, “when I hear the boys saying that ‘Gould is downed’ or that he has played his last card. Ihave been on the street for 25 years, and Iknow that Gouid has every card in the pack in his own pocket and that every card played by him is a trump. Down the little peddler! They can’t. Here's a simple little trick that he could play any day, and how could they counter on him: He could take, say, $70,000,000 of Government bonds and first class collateral, and bor- row $50,000,000 on it. Then he could turn the cash into a safe deposit vault and lock it up. With such a contraction in the money market as this would cause where would the market be? The boys couldn’t carry their stocks, and would have to unload it all at once. I imagine that prices would feel the situation and that the youngsters would think Black Friday was around. All the same, it is a terrible menace to the country that any man should have such power. Gould and Napoleon. They are, perhaps, thetwo names that the future will think most characteristic of the 19th century.”— Brooklyn Eagle. Putting the Case Strong. Tubercle in cattle and consumption in men have for a number of years been known to sustain close relations. The investigations in the University Veter- inary School have reached the conclusion | that the flesh and milk of tuberculous cattle is almost the sole cause of con- sumption. The present condition of in- vestigation on this subject fairly justifies the conclusion that this is the chief cause | ef consumption, and there is no manner sf doubt that the ravages of this disease, which kills 2,800 persons a year in this city, would be greatly lessened if it was made a criminal offense to sell the flesh or milk of cattle with tubercle in any form. This city loses about 5,000 persons yearly, and has 100,000 cases of serious illness which it would avoid if it would stop the selling of tuberculous meat and flesh, improve its water supply, and sewer she city. These causes cost the city yearly twice as many lives as the Johns- town flood.—Philadelphia Press. ————————— OUIDA’S PLEA FOR DOGS. The Famous Authoress Grows Raptur= ous Over Canine Friends. True lovers of dogs—and they are legion—should read “Ouida’s” character- istic plea for them in “Dogs and Their Affections.” She says “the Maltese or lion dog, the most beautiful of all small dogs, was a fashionable pet from the days of Louis XIII to the revolution; | and I wish: I could restore him to his | place in fashion, usurped so unfittingly by the squat, clumsy, deformed dach- | shund, who is as ugly as he is out of place on the cushion of a carriage or boudoir. The lion dog is admirable, beautiful, and his aristocratic appearance, his little | face, which has a look of Gainsborough’s and Reynolds's chiiuren, his white silken coat, and his descent from the darlings of Versailles and Whitehall, all make him an ideal dog for women. He is of | high courage and ; reat intelligence ; take him all in all, ther: is no dog his equal, and this little tender patrician will fight | till he drops. “I once owned the grandest and biggest Newfoundland in Europe. He was big- ger than the Prince of Wales's famous | Cabot; he was truly a monument of | beauty and strength; and when for din- ner parties he wore a broad, blue garter ribbon, he looked indeed a very king of dogs. Withal as gentle as a dove, play- | ful as a child, using his immense strength as lightly as his own seas will toy with a | summer breeze; generous to other dogs; kind to women and children; a tireless swimmer in any seas. ‘All that for a | dawg!’ said a London rough who saw his body being laid in its coffin; and the | dead dog was a grander creature than the living brute who jeered at him. ———_—_——— No man is free who is not master of himself. ign diplomats at his court | THE DEFoSED KING.

Goldwaithe’s Geographical Magazine contains a brief account of the discov- ery of the city of Kong, near where the Kong Mountains were delineated on the earlier maps of Africa. These mount- ains have disappeared from later maps. The city of Kong was long supposed to | bea myth. It was never seen by any white man until Captain Binger visited it less than two years ago. The mount- ains do not exist at all; but Binger found acity of 15,000 inhabitants near where the range of mountains had been figured. Tradition had made this city much larger. The plan and general appearance of the city are illustrated. The dwellings are mostly of clay, but the city contains many mosques which are made to appear as rather imposing structures The arrival of a white man in that city made a great commotion. But the ex- plorer was treated with great kindness. The Mohammedan population he found to be divided into three classes. Those who were educated constituted the rul- ing class. The unlettered Mohammedans are strict observers of all the precepts of the Koran. Another and lower class drink native beer and other intoxicating liquors in spite of the precepts of the Koran. Binger was suprised at the tol- eration of the Mohammedans. Those who live further north are very intoler- ent and fanatical, so much so that they “will not give a calabash of water to an infidel.” The Mohammedans of the city of Kong have no prejudices. They told the explorer that they recognized good in all the chief religions, and they did not even claim that Mohammedanism is su- perior to Christianity. They regarded the religion of the Jews, Christians, and Mohammedans as closely related, because they all worship the same God. That is adegree of voluntary toleration which | has seldom been recorded of any Moham- medan city. The ruling class live at ease and enjoy life. In the evening the pub- | lic squares are enlivened by dancing and chorus singing. There are public schools in Kong where pupils are taught to read the Koran, and presumably are inducted into other Ara- bic learning. No one is permitted to walk through the streets with a gun or | saber. Evidently Kong approaches very | near to the ideal city of toleration and peace. The traveler was hospitably en- tertained, and was so well pleased that he left the city with regret. It is re- ported that another French expedition | will shortly reach Kong, when the world will know more of this unique city. Kong is situated not more than 500 | miles interior from the Siberian coast. | Butitis quite certain that no one from that Republic ever saw the city. The mount- ains of Kong, so long appearing on the old maps, and even figured down to a recent period, have disappeared. But the city of Kong, with its civilization, toleration, and hospitality, is now demon- strated to be a tangible fact. Not the least important discovery is that which makes known to the world that there are cities of civilization in the interior of Africa. ee eras For Sicilian Honor. They say a Sicilian drum major, dur- ing the French occupation of Palermo, was sentenced to be shot. He was a well known coward, and it was feared | he would disgrace his country at the last | moment in the presence of the French | soldiers, who had a way of being shot with a good grace and alight heart ; they had grown accustomed to it. For the honor of Sicily his confessor told him, in the strictest confidence, that his sentence was a mock one, and that he would be fired at with blank car- tridges. It was a pious fraud. All but two of the 12 cartridges had bullets, and he fell, | riddled through and through. No French- man ever died with a lighter heart, a | better grace. He was superb, and the pational honor was saved. Thrice happy Sicilian drum major. if the story be true! That trust in blank cartridges was his paradise.—Harper’s | Magazine. Curiosit! bout Gold.
