States opened their pccketbooks when
I *'le nation wanted money for the war,
the subscription six and one-half Limes

i compared with the manner in which
the popular loan of French government j
"as taken up after the Franco-Piussian |
I war- An indemnity of $1,090,000,000 |
; was required of France by her con- !
j nueror, and a popular loan was opened j
j Dhy it. it was subscribed for forty |
j times over. From Germany itself |
j came in bids for five time, the amount -
tequired by the Fret;; It g .vi rnmen^.
It ,s probable, ab >. that the French
loan was more nearly what it pur-
ported to be, a loan in which people
j of small means invested, than the re- j
{ cent American “popular loan.’’ Ot l
; this later loan it is estimated that
j considerably more than half is in the
j hands of big investors. Applications
j were put in for bonds by clerks and
other employes of big houses and by
Persons who .did not really want the
j bonds, but desired to have them to turn
over to large investors for the sake of
making the premium. People who bid
for $500 worth of bonds or less were
paid their share nt once, but those
who bid for more were obliged to de-
posit 2 per cent of the amount of their
purchase and were to be paid later.
As these people are being paid, it is
found that the present holders of the
options on the. bonds are, in a large
number of cases, not the original sub-
scribers. Though there have been
many subscribers of small means, there
have not been as many as there would
have been had it not been for the fact
that a man of smail means can get
from a savings bank as large a per
cent, and in most cases a larger one.
than is paid by government on these
bonds. It was the intention of the
government to make the loan a really
popular one, and it came as near being
one as is possible under existing con-
ditions of the money market. Every
safeguard was thrown around the sub-
scription list, and people of moderate
means had as good a chance as any-
body else to buy the bonds. One thing
was proved, anyway—the ability of the
United States to borrow nloney at any
time to any amount desired, and the
ability to sell its bonds at a premium
to its own people. But, then, no proof
was wanted of these facts before. On
the face of it the recent popular loan
looks as if it were more of a popular
loan in the strictest sense of the term
than the French loan, hut when our
loan is analyzed the contrary seems to
be the case. Of the 300,000 persona
who received awards of bonds it looks
now as if the loan would resolve itself
into a real subscription of only 100,000
holders. The thing has not been
cleared up yet, and the pessimists say
that in the hands of small subscribers
there will remain only 25 per cent of
the original loan. Yet one of the offi-
cials of the sub-treasury of the United
States iu New York, mindful of the
way in which small bidders have sold
their awards, says he would not be
surprised if the real amount held by
the small bidders the bona fide small
bidders—would amount to nearly 50
per cent. Yet he doubts if it would
come near the percentage of the French
in this regard.
The French are known to be the
largest individual holders of the na-
tional bonds of their country of any
people in the world. Of government
bonds there are no “bloated bondhohl- j
ers” with a few exceptions—in this

A Young Soldier.
I lie youngest soldier in the arm)
that went to Cuba was a boy fourteen
years old. His father was a bugler in
one of the volunteer regiments en-
camped at Tampa. He followed the
icginjent to fampa and was ordered
home. He did not go home, and wh£n
the regiment was ordered aboard the
transports to go to Cuba he stowed
himself away until they were a day out
to sea. There was nothing for the com-
manding officer to do but to take the
boy with him to Cuba, where he was
made a water-boy. During the battle
of 5>an Juan Hill the boy carried water
to the men, and did all that he could
during the battle. He was returned on
one of the first transports, but when he
reached New York he had no money to
pay his railroad fare to his home at
Columbus, Ohio. The government offi-
cials could not pay his transportation,
hut a letter was given him asking rail-
way officers to help him home. When
asked if he was afraid during the bat-
tle, he said he did not have time to be
afraid, he had too much to do.
Heat from Electric Lamp*.
In consequence of some experiments
made in England, shopkeepers are
warned of the danger of allowing In-
flammable goods to get into contact
with the bulbs of incandescent elec-
tric lamps. The wide-spread notion
that such larnpe are practically free
from heat is erroneous. A sixteen
candle-power electric lamp immersed
in half a pint of water will cause the
water to boil within an hour. If bur-
ied in cotton-wool it will set the latter
aflame. Celluloid placed in contact
with an electric lamp bulb was set on
fire in less than five minutes.
Aluminium Huts for Kioto!Ikers.
One of the newest things in the
building line is the aluminium hut for i
the Klondike miners. When packed for j
carriage it weighs 110 pounds. It Is
composed of four sides and a roof of
thin sheets of aluminium, and when !
put up the house contains 190 cublo
feet.
Is Alum Poisonous?
Alum is used by many bakers to
whiten their bread, enabling them to
use an inferior flour, and it is also em-
ployed as a cheap substitute for cream
of tartar in the manufacture of baking
powder. Its use in bread and baking
powder is very detrimental to health,
producing dyspepsia and obstinate
constipation, and under certain condi-
tions of the human system results in
poisoning. What these conditions are
so far as each individual i3 concerned
i fan on'Y be surmised: some peculiar-
| ity of the system producing a morbid
j change in the secretions of the stom-
ach with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or, the se-
cretions may be healthy but in ab-
normal proportions, and these lesser
or greater proportions in combination
| with the alum constitute a poison just
I as two parts of mercury and two parts
chlorine form calomel, which is not
| poisonous, while one part of mercury
i and two parts of chlorine yield a cor-
| rosive sublimate, which is a most dead-
! ly poison.

It is not often that an elephant
stoops to folly so extreme as did one
i near Oktwin, on the ltangoon-Man-
dazay Hailway, the other day. A
Rangoon correspondent tells us that
lately an elephant, “not a very old
one, after deliberately making an
entrance for himself through the rail-
way fence near Oktwin Station, pro-
ceeded along the foot of an embank-
ment till a gangman’s hut obliged
him to make a slight detour up the
hank and on to the line itself.
Unfortunately the Mandalay train
at that moment cante up at full
speed. The trespasser might have
retreated down the embankment, but
he evidently regarded the noise, flar-
ing lamp, and vomit of sparks as the
challenge of an enemy, and being a
plucky young elephant, resolved to
stay and light it out.
Allowance must he ma le fur ids
youth and inexperience, but it is
much to be regretted that he allowed
his combative instincts to rule his
conduct. The action, as might he
expected, was exceedingly urief.
i he elephant received the engine’s
attack upon his head, and the next
moment was hurled clear off the lino
and rolled down the embankment
| with his skull completely crushed iu
'The train, saved by its speed, passed
on Without injury.
Too f amiliar.

vantage of the relationship seemingly

miliar, said the hen to the hatchcU
