With the frequently unsettled state of French polities, the posi- tion is sometimes not a desirable one, * * * --.E. II. R. Green, president of the Texas Midland Railway, has been awarded a patent on a system of wireless telegraphy which is to be put into operation on his road. * • * —Now comes the news that a big- ger and wealthier shipping com- bine than that of Morgan's is being organized. It will be "vaster than has been" by possessing control of 203 vessels, * • * — A large number of Boers have decided to show Great Britain, what good colonists they will make. This is the proper spirit to mani- fest, and will °in the end, bring about very best of results. * * * — It is reported that the Chinese Court is considering the appoint- ment of six eminent foreigners, expert specialists, as authorities, respectively, on international law and finance, and on military, naval, parliamentary, domestic, and gov- ernmental affairs. * • * There were at least 7,377 more votes cast for Conservative than for Liberal candidates in the recent elections. Mr. Whitney was On- tario's choice for Premier. The gerrymander however leaves Mr. Ross Premier, though 7,377 votes in the minority. Yet we call this representative government 1 * * —The salesmade during last month by the Canadian Pacific Land Department were 207,153 acres for $736,021, as compared with 40,489 acres for the same month of last year. Up to date this year the quantity of land sold has been 727,235 acres for $2,- 368,863. * * —In the harbor of St. Peters- burg, Russia, sunken vessels have been raised by means of air bags of a new pattern. The latest experi- ment reported was made in the presence of a number of naval ex- perts, when a sunken ship weigh- ing ten thousand pounds was rais- ed from a depth of twenty-seven feet, by the aid of air bags, in thirty-five minutes. * —A. factory has been started near Aix-la-Chapelle or the manu- facture of cotton to resemble silk, by a new process. It is a distinct improvement upon the old "mer- cerized cotton," while another im- portant consideration is the ex- treme simplicity of the invention. The silk produced by this process is extremely brilliant in color and finish and possesses great tensile strength. * Says one writer :—We are as great or as small as our own thoughts make us ; if we are so small as to be buried under an avalanche of trifles, we have none but ourselves to blame. Drink the wine of life, not its lees. If you must indulge in fancies, weave them in bright colors rather than in sombre hues of night. "1 find the gayest castles in the air that were ever piled," says Emerson, "far better, for comfort than the dun- geons in the air that are daily dug and caverned out by grumbling, discontented people." * ** —An official statement issued by the War Office quite recently shows that the total reduction of the British forces in South Africa, up to May 30 of the present year, was 97,477. This includes killed, wounded, prisoners, deaths from disease, and men invalided home. Of these many have recovered and rejoined their regiments, leaving 28,434 dead or permanently inca- pacitated. The total number of troops killed in action or who died of wounds is 7,792, while the total number of deaths from disease is 13,250. * * —The utility of a new device for the prevention of railway collisions has been demonstrated on the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail- way, at a point near Chicago. The apparatus consisted of a powerful electric arc head -light, a dynamo and steam motor, all of which oc- cupied the usual headlight space on a locomotive.

'Tp in the Parliament Buildings the free electors were cursed by the as- sembled Ministers and officials as the adverse returns came rolling in. Bitter and vindictive is the ma- chine influence. It hates the con- scientious Liberal even more than it detests the Conservative.— [Mail-Empire. * * —A. writer in the "World's Work" has this to say on the price of beef : "It is questionable wheth- er, under the most favorable cir- cumstances, beef will ever be as cheap in the United States again as it was five years ago. Since that time there has been a gradual in- crease in the price of live cattle and a corresponding increase in the dressed meat. There are fewer cattle in the 'United States to -day, in relation to the population of the country, than ten years ago. The receipts of cattle at five Western markets for the ten years ending 1891 were 6, 500, 000. For the ten years ending 1901, 7,166,856, or a gain of 666,856. Compare this slight increase to the gain in the country's population in a corres- ponding length of time, and add to it an increase of 25 per cent. in the export trade, and you have the primary cause of high-priced beef." * —A. very interesting battle is now being fought out between what is considered a trust, on the one hand, and the United States gov- ernment on the other. Last fall the Harriman -Gould and the Mor- gan -Hili syndicates settled a bitter railroad feud by merging these three railroads—the Northern Pa- cific, the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy, and the Great Northern,— into a trust called the Northern Se- curities Company, and putting its stock on the market. The people in all the great states along the lines of these railroads have com- plained that the confederation is damaging trade, and that it exists in violation of state laws. Gover- nor Van Sant, of Minnesota, took the initiative for his State by bring- ing a suit against the company, which is now pending before the United States supreme court. In the meantime, President Roosevelt has instructed Attorney General Knox to bring suit also against the company, on the ground that it is violating the Sherman Anti -Trust Law. The latter suit will, of course, take precedence, and very much depends upon its decision. THE ALPHABET OE SUCCESS. Attend carefully to details. Be prompt in all things.

WOMEN AND JEWELS, Jewels, candy, flowers, man—that is the order of a woman's preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman, Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenous efforts to make or°save the money to purchase them. If a woman will risk her health to get a coveted gain, then let her for- tify herself against the fnsiduous con- sequences of coughs, colds and bron- Omit affections by the regular use of Dr. Uoschee's German Syrup. It will promptly arrest, consumption in its early stages and heal the affected hnngq and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system, It is not a cure-all, but it is a certain cure for coughs. colds and all bronchial troubles.
