Meek, who invented the reel ‘universally used on fishing rods now- adays, died a few days ago at Frank- fort, Ky., aged 60. It is said by thyse who knew him well that he never fished a day in his life. It was William Pitt who originated the income tax in Great Britain in 1798 as a war tax. The Napoleonic wars were fought with it. From that time to this it has been the resort of all ministries to meet war expendi- tures. M. Hanotaux, late French minister for foreign affairs, has informed the electoral committee of Vervins that he will not offer himself for reelec- tion, having decided to retire defi- nitely from politics and devote him- self to literature. James Lawrence, Jr., of Grafton, Mass., is regarded as the most popu- Jar man at Harvard this year. “Big Jim,” as he is known, is a splendid football player, rowed No. 7 in the "varsity race, is up in all sorts of ath- letics, a tremendous social favorite, and, though coming from one of the wealthiest families of New England, is thoroughly democratic. The Growth of Germany. Since the treaty of peace between France and Germany was signed, in 1871, Germany has not extended her territory by a single acre on the con- tinent of Europe; but she has in- ereased her population by 16,000,000. Lion Versus Buffalo, When Purvis and Clark were explor tng in Africa, north of the Zambesi, they saw a large lion stelking a buf- falo bull and a calf. In his native wilds the lion is no particular hero, while the African buffalo is one of the most dangerous of the wild things. So Purvis and Clark watched. Suddenly the bull charged, but the on sprang to one side for an in- stant, then leaped for the calf. Be- fore the beast could strike, however, the bufialo bull had turned again and charged. The hon, on the defensive, struck at his assailant, but the blow had no effect on the enraged creature. Qne of the long, cruel horns caught the lion in the side and the creature, weighing more then 400 pounds, was thrown ten feet into the air—Chicage Tribune. a re oy, ' ‘ THE WASHINGTON BEE.

It was a heavy, square ! wooden chair, with arms and a high back. It would not have been re- i able except for its width, which seemed excessive, and the fact that it was so very low. The seat was less than a foot from the ground. “We stood there speculating as to | its use when another group of loi- s stopped near us.

He stretched out his trunk and began fumbling with the pin. “The woman felt something and put her hand around to see that her belt was in place. Before her hand got there the trunk was gone. She satis- fied herself that her moorings were secure and then brought her hand back to the front again. Presto, up went the trunk for a second attempt. fhe woman was so occupied in the discussion that she was probably only half conscious of being touched, for she did not turn around even then. She merely put her hand back on an- other reassuring expedition, which again missed the exploring trunk. “Once again the elephant found the field clear. This time he was surer of his ground. He deftly took the head of the pin, drew it out and then swiftly jabbed it—there is no other word for it—into the woman's back. Scream? Of course did. She jumped about three feet, too, and as she came down she whirled around to see what had struck her. When she saw that elephant she jumped an- other three feet.

I must confess that we added to the occasion by going into fits of heartless mirth. The elephant? Oh, he was a model of a joker. He never cracked a smile.” Meanest Man in Kansas, Not long ago the wife of a western Kansas politician asked him to lay aside politics long enough one day to dig the potatoes in the garden. He agreed to do it. After digging for a few minutes he went into the house and said he had found a coin. He washed it off and it proved to be a silver quarter. He put it in his jeans and went back to work. Presently he went to the house again and said he had found another coin. He washed the dirt off of it. It was a silver half dollar. He put it in his jeans. “I have worked pretty hard,” said he to his wife; “I guess I'll take a short nap.” When he awoke he found that his wife had dug all the rest of the potatoes. But she found no coins. It then dawned upon her that she had been “worked.” Women Run Canal Boa In southern and midland gland 30,000 women spend their lives in driv- 7 ing and steering the canal boats.

Chosen President of the Church ot Latter Day Saints by the Coun- cil of Apostles, At a regular meeting of the apostles, held in the temple at Salt Lake City, Utah, Joseph F. Smith was chosen and set apart as presi- dent of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in succession te the late Lorenzo Snow. President Smith was also named as trustee-in-trust for the church, He likewise was named as president ot the Salt Lake temple. Joseph Fielding Smith was born at Far West, Mo., on November 13, 1838, JOSEPH F. SMITH. (Newly-Elected President of the Church of Latter Day Saints.) and is a nephew of the prophet. His father, Hyrum Smith, was _ impris- oned at the time of his birth and his mother was driven from her home. When the Latter.Day Saints were expelled from Nauvoo he drove an ox team to winter quarters, which he reached in 1846. He crossed the plains to Salt Lake in 1848. In April, 854, he went on a mission to the Sandwich islands. On his return to Salt Lake City he was engaged with his friends in the Echo canyon defense against the army sent to Uteh. He was sergeant at arms of the Utah legislature in 1858-’59. He was ordained one of the seventies on March 20, 1858, and was ordained high priest and made a member of the high council in Oc- tober of that year. He made three pilgrimages to Europe and one more to the Sandwich islands. In October, 1589, he was chosen by President John Taylor as his second councilor. In the session of 1882 he presided over the council of the Utah legisiature. When Wi iff sneceeded to the pr seph F.

This year the heat and drought prevented the maturing of the grain und caused it to wither and be destroyed or to be smal size, nutrition and yield. As a result, Rus- sia is facing the most terrible win- ter in its history and the govern- ment is preparing to take steps to- ward feeding the people.

What they found may be gathered from their description of a once well- to-do village, which serves as a type of all: On approaching the village we saw a few horses wdrn to skeltons, one or two utmost oxen whose bones, where they pierced the taut skin, were covered with festering sores. They had lain too long on the stable floor, not having strength to get up. The village itself seems wrapped in the arms of death. No barking of dogs announces us—the dogs are all dead. No pigs in the street. No sign or sound of children—the cruel winter and hunger have laid them in an early sleep of death. Nothing to be- tray the presence of human beings. --- We enter one of the cottages. It is low, of no particular shape; the thatch is wanting in several places, the woodwork which supported it being gradually used up for firewood. Were we not accustomed to the spectacle we should doubt whether it could serve as a dwelling for human beings, utterly unprotected as it is against rain and cold. Reclining on one shelf in the one room are the father and his son, on the other shelf lie the man’s wife and an el- derly woman huddled close together. Which of the two women is the wife and which her mother we cannot dis- tinguish from their aged, wrinkled, emaciated faces distorted with sgaiek The peasant says: “We lie here and die; no one comes near us.” | “Don't they come with bread for you from the Red Cross bakery?” I ask. “For three days past there has been no bread,” is the reply. “Why not?” “Because they have no flour. The Police captain has the key of the | flour stores, and he is away.” “How is it with regard to seed corn?” “Seed corn is distributed, but we have received none.” “Why not?” “The elder of our village says there is seed corn for us, but he does not know where it is, and he has sought for it everywhere.” Such is the story repeated at every farmhouse in every village. The Red Cross society is helpless in the face of such vast distress. It is equipped to provide bread for, say, 40 People, and finds 400 looking to it to keep them alive.
