The Sultan of Turkey, with the aid of his numerous wives, contrives to spend annually $30,000,000. The man who blows in the goo to Boo If it is loaded has been succeeded by the man who rocks the boat. The Japanese are yaprking them- selves up to the modest'. belief that one .Tap can lick five Russians. Banker Lewis of Ohio began life poor, but kept forging ahead until he was $400,000 ahead of the game. Judging from some of the game he bags, we shoutti say that Cupid must do most of his hunting blindfolded. A female footpad has turned lip in Kansas City. This may be the New Woman we have been looking for so long. Russell page admits that his memory is failing. That may partially account for his failure to remember to be decent teLaidlaw.

An old bachelor editor says \a baby is a howling success.\ He ought to have added, the fellow who never had one of his own at home is not. An esteemed contemporary has dis- covered that there is a large demand for small coin. This belongs to the large band of \important if true\ stor- ies. It is said so perfect is the construc- tion 9f the bicycle wheel, that it will carry with safety a larger load in pro- portion to its weight than any other wheel made. An Atchison man of 60.- wL has given so much to churches - all his life that he is poor, will start out in the fall to win a few dollars back by becoming a boy preacher. It would be a very unfair thing for Cuba to use the formidable means of re- taliation on this country for its anti - filibuster position which she possesses In the imported cigar. It is not surprising that Richard Croker should have the most flattering things to say about the Britiih system . of government. He came pretty near blit a monarch himself. The making of collections of posters is not a new idea. Balzac, forty years ago, wrote in \Scenes from Parisian Life\ \You who can drink no longer from the chalice called through all time the 'clip of pleasure.' take up the task of collecting something, no matter what. (People have ere now collected hand- bills), and you will recover your Ingots of joy in smail change. .A hobby, a mania. is pleasure asansformed into the shape of an idea.\ Miss Remie Londonderry of Boston, the round -the -world bicyclist, who ar- rived at El Paso. Texas, last week says she has declined over one hundred and fifty offers of marriage since she start- ed on her trip. During her journey she has saved $1,500. There are lots of men who are willing to marry any woman who has demonstrated that she could make a good living for them. From Avon Park, Fla., comes an or- iginal idea for ending dull times.

COLOR MUSIC NOW. mtaa IS FLASHED IN COLOR TONES. • 3 it‘et helical Wave* of the Spect rum- - Remarkable Htsc•o•ery With h May Prove That Color and Sotliol Are loscly Related. AN SOUNDS BE translated into color, and can the musical tones that now exist solely for the ear be trans- formed until they appeal definitely to the eye as well? That is tbe - modert1 and, also n d question, hicr is nsaver ahe affirmative by the devotees o is known as \color music.\ , The art had suddenly become a se- rious one, and a wealthy artist named Rivington, who lives in London, has re- cently invented and put into operation, at a cost of nearly ten thousand dollars, a \color organ,\ by means of which, as j certain notes are struck, the meloky Is rebroduced in a bewildering succelia sion of color tones and combinations on a screen, at the same instant they are heard by the ear. At a preliminary \recital in St. James' Hall, the other day, the exqui- site delicacy of the mechanism of this new instrument was tested, and its re- sponsiveness was found to be wholly ad- equate. Chopin's preludes were played and the screen showed a bewildering succession of rhythmical waves of color, passing so rapidly that it was hard for the eye to take them all in ranging from beginning to end of the apectrum, and flashing not only the in- termediate tones, half tones and quar- ter tonea of color, but also innumerable lovely combinations which hitherto had never suggested themselves to the imagination, but were the inevitable results Of a harmony that worked the same for the eye as for the ear. Hardly possible, and more within the domain of fairyland than the regions of actual science, seems this . art of \color music,\ but it is certain that, this much was actually accomplished; that unending coihbinations of color were produced by the mechanical principles that govern the diatonic scale and mu- sical octaves. • What the exact details aq his instru- ment may be, and Just hov)seach color is produced, Mr. Rivington Will not di- vulge. All that ts known ilt that the new \color organ\ is played upon a keyboard which is almost the exact counterpart of that used for a piano, and that whenever a „note , is struck its color appears upon the screen. Chords show aombinations .of tints that are onl comp able to harmonic combina- pontiff' • for example, to the low red of Nip -Gong f usical notes, middle C corres- the spectrum. The other Cs of the keyboard, when struck, show yet other reds, toning perfectly. Without carrying the description fur- ther, it may thus readily be seen how the colors grade, shade and tone, and how the sharpening of a piano note or Its flattening makes the suggestion of a change in color, hardly to be expressed with., a painter's brush yet quite per- ceptible to the visual senses. . This instrument has an especial fas- cination, for the reason that it is the first In the world to show a definite con- nection between sound and coloy a _It was the belief of one of the ancient schools of philosophy, at least, that these two perceptions came closely to- gether, and that the borderland be- tween them was narrow and readily to be bridged. There has existed, at all events, among some few people, a mys- terious faculty of \color hearing.\ This was first brought to notice compara- tively recently in the experiences of Dr. Nussbaumer. For Nussbaumer each sound had its peculiar color—this word correspond- ing to red, this note to blue, this to yel- low and this to green. While a child he was striking In, his play. a fork against a glass. As be heard the sottpd an impression of a tailor flashed quick- ly into his mind, varying in tint by the energy with which he struck`the glass, and after stopping his ears tightly he could divine merely by his eyes just how loudly the glass had sounded. Other men may be Instanced to ivhose organs of sight the waves of sound were in sonic way perceptible. There waa a youth of Zurich recently to whom musical notes presented themselves in shades and tints, high-pitched sounds \'showing clear and brilliantly to the sight and low ones dully and sombrety. M. aVedrono, an oph- thalmologist of Nantea had a friend, whose name has not been recorded, but whose peculiarity along these lines was very marked. Several young fellows were talking In his pres- ence one day, and a joking expression, \That's as fine as a yellow dog,\ being popular in their set, they applied it to a man who was heard shouting across the street. The gentleman, who heard In color. immediately lifted himself up in response. \No he Raki, \his voice is not yel- low' it is pure red.\ When pressed for an explanation, he answered quite simply that ag could see the color of voices. Medfcia men exemined him. and found that his hear- ing, lila sight, and his general health were all perfect. In explaining the phe- nomenon I,hev agreed that it was that his chromatic sensitiveness was an sharp that the luminous Impression was made before the sonorous one, for they found before he could judge of tha quality and intensity of a sound he had get the exact pronunciation of many Seen It and knew its color. difficult words by using a phonograph Most interesting of all, there was no cylinder. expressly prepared for that sensation of the eve at times. When eespa.. . his eyes were shut and bandaged sounds conveyed direct color impres- sion to his mind. When his eyes were opened and looking directly at the sonorous body the sound appeared in its color, according to his statement, 29 near as possible to the body itself. Should a piano be played, the color was over the keys. In the case of a guitar it hung on the vibrating strings, and as regards singing, points of color came and went in rapid succession directly over the vocalists' heads. THE OLD GENTLEMAN'S IDEA. It Show 4,1 Ills Conaletency Even If It Did Emphasize Ills Perullarlt There are so many sham misogynists about in this affectedly cynical age that one can hardly help extending a meas- ure of admiration to the thoroughness and consistency of a certain rich old Viennese bachelor whose death was an- nounced the other day. In the case of this highly eccentric old gentleman horror and dread of our unfortunate Aex had become a positive mania, for it is recorded of him that whenever he went to a place of /albite entertainment he took the precaution of booking three seats, in the center of which he seated himself, leaving those on each side va- cant, so as to avoid all risk of being obliged to sit by a woman! He even carried his extraordinary craze beyond the grave, by leaving instructions that no woman was to be buried either to the right or left of him, even if it should be necessary to purchase three graves in order to insure the carrying out of his strange beheat. One cannot help sus- pecting that there must have been some painful romance in his life to account for this extraordinary attitude of mind. Perhaps the most curious thing in the whole strange story is the statement that,this agreeable old gentleman, .eft behind him -a large bundle of lettars, which he had grimly indorsed: \At- tempts by my family . to put me' under the- yoke of matrimony.\ As he ap- pears to have been a very wealthy man, this alleged action on the part of his relatives seems by no . means easy to explain. A Hero of Chitral. An Indian hero, whose identity peo- ple are never tired of discussing, is the officer, who, being refused leave to go with the Chitral expedition, obtained live days' leave to go shooting. He en- trained to a point as near the opera- tions as the railway would carry him, and then, being unable to obtain a horse, set out to &arch. Equipped' with a bottle of gin and a huge sau- sage as his only rations, he plodded the, weary miles over rough ground cheer-, fully. He reached the head of the col- umn just as the charge was about to be made on the Malakand pass. He was in time to join the head of the staleming column, and Was in the first three on the summit. When the battle Was over he had to eschew the camp, and the rest awaited th p fighting line, and nad to make his aLy back as best as he might to a point where the railway would take him up. I heard Gap. Sir pvelyn Wood say that this officer is a fill col- onel. He went into action as a corn- 'mon soldier, tearing the straps of his Kharka uniform that his rank might not be discovered. For, as Sir Evelyn remarked, with a humorous twinkle in his eye, if he had been discovered he would have been put under arrest. -- Tit -Bits.

Goodhue County, Minn to a Republican representative, \and as ou can see 1 am not very large of stain,'. When I was eleven years old I became ttalieted with a sickness which baffled the skill and knowledge of the phyalcian. I was not taken suddenly ill but on the con- trary I can hardly state the exact time when It began. The first symptoms were pains in my back and restless nights. The disease did not trouble me much at first, but it seemed to have settled in my body to stay and my bitter experience during the last thirteen aeala proved that to be the case. I was of course a child and never dreamed of the suffering's in store for Inc. I complained to my parents and they concluded that in time I would outgrow my trouble, but when they heard me groaning during my sleep they became thoroughly alarmed. Medical advice was sought but to no avail, I grew rapidly worse and was soon unable to move about and finally became confined continually to my bed. The bast doctors that could be had were consulted, but did nothing for me. I tried various kinds of extensively advertised patent medicines with but the same result. \For twelve long years I was thus a sufferer in _constant agony without re- spite, abscesses formed on my body in rapid succession and the world indeed looked very dark to me. About this time when all hope was gone and noth- ing seemed left but to resign myself to my most bitter fate my attention was called to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Dike a drowning man grasping at a straw, in sheer despera- tion I concluded to make one more at- tempt—not to regain my health (I dare not to hope so much) but if possible to ease my pain. \I bought a box of the pills and they seemed to do roe good. I felt encour- aged and continued their use. After taking six boxes I was up and able to want around the house. I have not felt so well for thirteen years as during the past year. Only one year have I taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I am able now to do chores and attend to light duties. \Do I hesitate to let you publish what I have saw No. Why should I? It is the truth and I am only too glad to let other sufferers know arty experience. It may help those whose cup of misery ito as full to -day as mine was in the past.\ Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements neces- sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.

Jackson county ' promises to be famous In history' as the birthplace of the Irish potato. Some of the local botanists of Inclependence have dis- covered tails faef, and heve traced the lineage of the vegetable, which is now known to every table in the world as the \Irish potato,\ back to its birth- place, Little Santa Fe, in the southern part of this county, saws Kainsas City Star. The botanists give the name of the plant from which the potato grew as \dioscorea batata,\ and feel con- fident in their assertion that the his- tory of the potato can be traced back to the town of Little Santa Fe. Dr. Bal- lard, a well-known botanist and geol- ogist, had in his possession yesterday a plant which he claimed to be a speci- men of the \dioscorea batata,\ found at Little Santa Fe. By tracing the plant back some 300 years the doctor says that undoubteday/the dioscorea batata was the progenitor of the so- called Irish potato. It appears that the aborigines of this section knew the art of propagation of plants by cultivation from their wild state, and by such knowledge produced the tuber now so generally in use and found on every table. \It is a matter of history,\ said the doctor, \that the potato was first used as an edible by the Indians near what is now known as Little Santa Fe, Jack- son county, Mo. From there it became an article of barter. The edible was so palatable that its use spread rapidly and became common among the Indians in Virginia. The potato fell into the hands of Sir Walter Raleigh in Vir- ginia, who recognized a good thing when he saw it. Sir Walter took it on one of his trips to Europe, and by reason of the soil and climate of Ire- land it at once became a staple article of food, hence the name Irish potato.\ BIG VElbELS FOR THE LAKES 'Impure Blood They Will. Ere Long, Do the Great Bulk of the Carrying Trade. lready formed settle the ques- tion whether lake steamships 400 feet long or upward, with a capacity of car- rying 6,000 tons of freight at a load, will be common after the opening of the channels twenty feet deep through all the shallows between Duluth and Chicago, 'and the ports of Lake Erie. There is ,no longer a doubt that such monster' vessels will rapidly multiply within the next few years, and they are certain to do a great part of the carry- ing trade of the lakes, perhaps most of it, before the end of the century. The steamships already contracted for and those which are certain to be built before next spring will undoubtedly so far suapass all vessels now in use in ability to make money at low rates for freight that other vessel owners will be forced to follow the pioneers in this latest step forward in the con- struction of splendid lake carriers. Even an over-supply of tonnage such as is very likely to be the result, will not prevent the work of replacing small craft with steamers of the larg- est size from going on steadily. In one sense it will hasten the change, says Cleveland Leader. Only the biggest vessels can make money in such sea- sons of general over -competition for cargoes, and in order to continue the business the owners of old boats must let them go and put in commission steamships equal to any on the great lakes. ANATOMISTS ARE PUZZLED. Heroes Colored Man Whose Vital Organs Are Everywhere They Ought Not to let. Herbert Place, a negro, 27 years old, walked into Bellevue hospital, New York, a recent morning and said he would like to be examined, as his heart was on the wrong side of his body. The clerks were incredulous, but, finding that Place was in earnest, he was re- ferred to the hotiSe surgeon. After- ward, in the presence of the entire sur- gical staff, a thorough examination was made of him. It was found that not only was his heart on his right side, but that his right lung was on his left sate, and the left lung on the right side, the liver was On the left side, and 4, the spleen on the right side.
