OoTernor Black, of   New York, paid
in Syracuse at a recent meeting of the representatives nf institntions em¬ braced in the University of tbe State of New York that if educators should enter politics there would be no barm lo them, but politics woul.l be mucb more clean and pure.
A genuine bearly laugh is an aid lo digestion, a sliiuulus tu the circula¬ tion of thn blood aud ftpoxitive beaiiti- fier. The whole system is benefited by a cheerful, merry luugh, and one's friends are attracted by the bright, wholesome nature that ripples out ia sunny inUHic. like a happy woodland stream.	
8sys the Philadelphia Call: Thene evidences of wealth, particularly the irresistible fascination uf gold, have starteil a li.Ie of eniigrati.m to Alaska that will cover her barren wastes with the evidences of civilization. Cities and towns will spring up. Ilnilr.iadH ami other means nf transportation must follow, an.l Alaska will not be long iu aeeking admission to tho Union.
The New York Tribune says: Tho foreign trade of tbe United Slates was greater iu 18!)l! than in 1M9<>. The foreign trade of New York was less in 1896 than in 1895. In lS<jr> New York had consi.lerably more than half the foreign trade of the Nation, and in 1896 it had considerably less than half. Those are facts of serious im¬ port, which New Yorkers will do well to take to heart.

Dr. }'. Penta has studied the fingers and toes of 45011 criminals, and finds a deficiency in tbe size of number of toes quite freiiuent aniong them, al¬ though very rare among ordinary men. He has also observed that prehensil^ toes, marketl by a wide space between the great toe and the second toe, is a condition quite common among crim¬ inals, also n webbed condition of the toes, an approximation tu the toeloss feet of some savages.
The Florida Citizen says: A pretty girt of sweet sixteen in Pennsylvania reached fur a flower and a snake on the bough bit her arm. Hhe fainted and a young man foun.l her, threw watur in hur face aud was hysterically told she bad beeu bitten by a rattle, snake. Uu drew away the poison with his lips, and now there is the founda¬ tion for a thrilliug romance. But after Ihey are married some crusty old fellow will tell hor that a rattlesnake cannot climb a bush, aud then she will know that the blacksuake is harm¬ less. Will there bo a divorce? Bui 'Tohn has uot told Bertha vet.
Statisti.is   of   the   f.ireign trade   ol Germany   have   just   beeu    pulilishe.l showing that its exports   ami iuipurts have both increased   year by year, the latter haviug more   than   duiililed iu a decade, while   the   former   have gout ahead steadily, though iu uIckh degree. Oaprivi's    commercial    treaties   with linssia and Austria  have   w.irkeil well au.l, uotwithstauding much initial op¬ position, their   good   results are   now apparent  to   everybody.     Since   they went  into   effect   three years ago the imports   have   incrensc.l   J72,.500,111111 { marks,   an.l   the   ex|Hirts   702,:]0<l,OtHl ' marks.      Tho   Agrarians   f.iught   the | treaties at every  step, but   in tbe fu.-e > of their   prosperuus    effects   they are now mute.
There are iu this .muu try, states the Nowoastle (Eugland)   Chronicle, 180,- 000 families depen.lent on tbo bicycle I trade; aud the trade is sure toincroaso, I as people   will   oume   to louk n|>ou   a ! bicycle   as   tbey   nuw   do   a   suit   ol ; clothes, uot as if   it wero   an   obeliJk j designed In lait   f.irover.     \VU.<ti this I time comes, aays a writer in a cuutem- | (Mirary, a man will buy a  new bicycle i every two or three years   and be  hnp- l»y.    This year persons iu the   Brilish Empire will spend aluiut Sll7,iKIU,(KXI on bicycles, aud if the   steel   re<iuire.l to make these hundreds ot  thousau.U of wheals were converted into war ves- ¦ela, the   result   would   be   a fleet ol ¦hipa aaffleieut in numbers and power j to mako any of  tbo smaller C.inliuen- i tai Powers   feel distinctly uncomfort¬ able.    Oue .'auuot eat  bi.'y.-les.     Uut i bread is the staple   f.H.d of   many peo   { pie, and this year we shall spend mure ! money for bicycles than for brca.l, and ; nearly as much as we shall   spend f.ir | meat.     ^

; Many a torrid afternoon was whiled I away with descriptioiis of the Irish ¦ castle where the wedding look place, j the beauty of the bride, the eccentrici- I ties of the n.dile aunt. Cedric scuffed, still crying for more.
line languorous September day, en¬ sconced iu the veranda's shadiest nook, I we gazed on the Brush Hills anil sighed vainly for a breeze Cedric broke the stillness. "What about Anne?    No news of late?"
"She has a sister who lives in France and is possessed of independ ent ineatis."
A look of reproach shot from his dark-blue eye. "You told me that Inst week," ho murmured.
".\nd did nol tell you that she goes by tho namo of the Lady Emily Browu."
"Brown! Why, she married a Frenchmau."
"True."
"Why lady?    What title has he?"
"None.   I particularly asked .\une."
"Absurd! He could not bo 'Brown' or she 'lady,' unless, iiidee.l, the title is in her own right. In that case your pearl of a baiidiiiniden is an 'honor able!' Tho Honorable .\une brings out the tray," he added, as she np- proiwthed our corner. "No, it's all false, you may depend upon il. .\sk Mcpherson what he thinks; he is com¬ ing up the drive."
Fergus Mi^Pherson—caution iierson- itieil—opiund that Annie had lied. He put it plainly: "Deceitful iu speech, deceitful iu deed. Better watch her, Mi'K. AHefi'^ale."
My si*i>Jcious were not excited. In California nothing is impossible. Had not n scion of a lordly himso died ou a ueighboriug ranch—a lonely, neglect¬ ed sheep herder? No. It was the uneasy air an.l restless look Increas¬ ing dnv b.V day. I heartily wished for some pretext whereby (,'edric, dis¬ patched into La Hyeria, might inquire iiilo the niitece.louts of tho Honorable .\iine.     Chance favored me.
"McPlierson has been telling me," began my simuse, a fow days later, "abont sotlio blooilhonn.lH in town that belong to the sheriff. They are Al at tracking criminals—borrow them all over the State. Beastly shame it's such a journey—it would be rather jolly tu seo them."
"Why uot go? A change would do you good."
"Do! And who wuuld milk the cow?"
"I, myself."
"You?    N(mBenRe!"
"Who is Iho sheriff? " I idly asked, meilitating my uext move the while.
"Waite—Hiram Waite."
"Our Honoralile," who bad entered, bearing that ranch stand by, a smok ing bowl of "mush," slarle.l, growing visibly pule- fresh food for uneasiness. Cl.nrly. to li'urn the art of milking was iiiipcriitive. The woniau won. as usual, and Ce.lri.', before the woek was over, stnrlc.l for La Huerta, with strict iujiin.'tions to interview both hospital superinlen.lent and sheriff.
Ill charge of Ihe ran.'h were myself, liillikins. ami the Honorable Anne Cncvenlfiilly (lass...! the lirst few .lays: but on Monibiy. from Ihe veran.la, I espi.'.l a ban.I uf m.'U, who, leaving the .'..unly road, camo slowly up the ilrivo.
Anne, perceiving them, grew white to the lips, an.l, bearing Billikins, pre¬ cipitately rte.l.
"(i.iii.l evening," the Ica.ler began, as he liflad his sombrero "We're a kinder rough sight for a la.ly. You see, we're a )iiis.so over from Tnlsr.', tr.ving to find a iiinn niiine.l ,Smitli His tracks. Ihey seeme.l to pint thi" way. Ain't seen any stranger ruuiul h.'re latelv?"
"No, indee.l."
"Xll wood chopper nor nnthing?"
"No, none. What hos this man done?    Whot .l.ies he hmk like?"
"Real nice and young and kind Not more'ii a boy. Mur.lere.i a man over there. Hen's his descripti.m,' nn.l he han.le.l me a coarsely print.' 1 "Reward. ¦ Well, Is.ys, get a m.iv. on. We're ousiur way to La Huerta," he a.l.le.l, "to borrow Waitu's dogs. Well, go...l day, lua'om. Better nut harbor nn.v strangers."
.\ niouienl more an.l, left alone, I th.mght over the situation. Ce.lri.' g.iiie, no iiHighlKir near, and o ninr- ¦lerer at laige whose steps "p'inle.l ;;iis vo\." Su.lilenly it was borne in il;i.i:i m.' that .\une was the fugitive.

"Ctuess I can straighten out this kink, Mrs. .\llaudttle. You did hear the houndi, th.>y're nji nt the luirii now.

"More candor on yourfpnrt would have prevented .your being mis ju.lged."

"The kinder you was, inn'niii, the meaner I felt; ami I was afraid Mr Allaudalo would go tu the hospital; and, worst of all, my heart stood still when he spoke of Mr. Waite. For he und my stepfather nre cousins, and I was afraid ho would guess who 1 was."
"Your stepfather?" 'Yes, maam, mothi>r marrie.l .Tim Waite the second time, nnd it was him that camo with the posse and frightened me. He was such a bad. cruel man that I uouldu't atan.^ it, su I ran away."

"But how much belter tu have tuld me the truth."
"I know Mr. .Mlandale wasF-nglish, ma'am, and they are that particular I was afraid he'd send me home."

The popular idea of the day, that in¬ tellectuality is not uliun.lant where beauty dwells, is strengthened by the fact that we have loartied to associate spoctftcles, frowsy hair, and lack of stylo in apparol, witli higliiT education in woman. Tho "blue-sto.'king" ele¬ ment iu womanhood is not given to jiersonal adornment, ll is iijit lo place t lo light an estimate upon beouty of f.'otlire nud slvle of dress as compared wilh iiitetlecluul growth; an.l it is this condition whicli has created Iho pre¬ judice against higher education of wo¬ men. Physical culture may have some offe.>t upon this; but nt present the "iHillege-girl face," with its inlensity of expression, its ntani]) of superiority is something to uvoid.
