BRITISH IN AMERICA. It Is Estimated That They Own Twenty Million Acres Here. How much property do British subjects own in America? The aggregate based on absolute facts, is known to be at least 20,000,000 acres, asserts Tit-Bits. The largest of all is probably the Texas possession of the syndicate which includes in its membership the Dukes of Beaufort and Rutland, Earl Cudogan and the Baroness Burdett-Coutt. The total amount of land held by this association is 3,300,000 acres. It is, as is the case with most of the Texas land, largely composed of what is called range country—that is, land that is better adapted for cattle raising than anything else. Cattle and wheat are what the British investor seems to think money should be made on in the United States. That is why the syndicate represented by the British capitalist Vincent Scully owns 3,000,000 acres of land in Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. This property is situated in the heart of the wheat growing section. Two American girls, who now wear, by virtue of their marriage with English peers, two of the highest British titles—the Duchess of Marlborough and Lady Randolph Churchill—are interested with Sir Edward Reed in a syndicate that owns 2,000,000 acres situated in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. This is purely a cattle country, and on it range thousands of head of live stock. There is another syndicate which includes among its members the Earl of Dalhousie, as well as Viscountess Cross, Lucy Hamilton Gordon, the Marquis Cholmondeley and several others. There is a holding in a still different part of the country, for the lands of the syndicate comprise 1,800,000 acres in Mississippi, including cotton plantations, acres and acres of sugar cane and enough swine to stock 1,000 farms. Lord Tweeddale is a syndicate in himself and owns 1,300,000 acres. Like most individual land owners with large holdings, his property includes a vast territory which, like that of the syndicate spoken of, includes immense tracts of grazing lands. Nearly all of this immense possession is devoted to stock.—St. Louis Republic. STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE. A Mountaineer Who Highly Appreciated Heally Good Cooking. As a rule the mountaineer of Kentucky is not a gastronomic connoisseur, and the visitor at his table is quite as likely to hear dried apples referred to as "fruit" as he is to find any other kind of fruit on the table. Occasionally, however, one of them is sufficiently fortunate to get away from his fastnesses, and living temporarily down in the blue grass has an opportunity to acquire some virtues not otherwise obtainable. It was such a one I caught up with one morning in June along the ridge of the Cumberlands. "I'm looking for a place," I said after a few preliminaries, "where I can stop for a week or so while I look up some timber I have in this neighborhood. Do you know of any?" "There ain't muchUV that sort around here," he replied, "exceptin you go to Mount Pleasant, an I reckon that's too fer. But hol' on," he broke in with a sudden thought. "that's the Widder Tackett. She axed me yistidy to see some UV you folks at the mill and tell 'em she had a place to sleep and eat two or three men of they wunn't too pertickler." "Is it a pretty good place?" I enquired thoughtlessly. The young man's face flushed. "Well, I reckon," he said with some emphasis. "She's goin to be my mother-in-law come next September." "Oh, I beg your pardon," I hastened to explain. "I only asked to know if she had good eating. Some of that we get in private houses even in the cities, you know, is not the best in the world." "Cities be dermed," he said with a fine feeling. "Yer ain't never tried the Widder Tackett's pie yet, mister, an yer want to keep still till yer do. Ain't nothin like it nowhere, no matter what kind UV a pie she sets afore yer It's all ne plusibus unum, an no mistake.

Washington, March 26.—President Roosevelt and Secretary Wilson owe Department of Agriculture among the members of the Society American Foresters who attended weekly meeting of that association the home of Gifford Pinchot, forester of the Department of Agriculture. To-night. The President remembers half an hour. He made a teresting talk to the assembly on general subject of the preservation forests and of forestry as a profession. He said that the object of forestry politics was to make precious homes and to see that they kept so. Homes, he said, could make temporarily prosperous the forest destruction, but could not make permanently so, except by preservation of the forests. For he declared, was the preservation forests by a wise use of what they forded. The professional forester, he had as wide a field of useful men in other professions, such as stance, as medicine and law and should fit themselves for it byough study and by a wide perspective. The most hopeful sign of forest situation,the President be is that the lumbermen are applying the benefits of forestry and practicing it. The President tend on the subject of irrigation,and connection declared that forestervation is necessary to the successful operation of this means of excluding the farmer in arid regions. Washington, March 29.—The cation at Havana of the Cubans as amended by the United States simplifies matters,and insures change of ratification in this cation Tuesday,March 31st.Arrangement of the treaty provides that ratification shall be exchanged at Washington soon as may before that date. Secretary Hay, when apprised action of the Cuban Senate, express his gratification. During the last days,the Secretary has been in cable communication with M.Squiers,and no doubt the action Cuban Senate Committee in reply from its position was influenced or less thereby. Though only days remain of the time limit which ratifications can be executed Secretary Hay said that as official notification is given by the mailing of the necessary materials,ratification can be exchanged once without waiting for their release.

Probably the oldest copy book for home lessons in arithmetic was recently unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus, which was found in excellent condition, dates from the period about 1700 B. C.—that is, about 100 years before the time of Moses, or almost 8,600 years ago. It proves that the Egyptians had a thorough knowledge of elementary mathematics almost to the extent of our own. The papyrus has a long heading, "Direction how to attain the knowledge of all dark things," etc. Numerous examples show that their principal operations with entire units and fractions were made by means of addition and multiplication. Subtractions and divisions were not known in their present form, but correct results were obtained nevertheless. Equations are also found in the papyrus. Among the examples given is this one: Ten measures of barley are to be divided among ten persons in such manner that each subsequent person receives one-eighth of a measure less than the one before him. Another example given is: There are seven men, each one has seven cats, each cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse has eaten seven grains of barley. Each grain of barley would, if cultivated, have yielded seven measures of barley. How much barley has been lost in that way? The papyrus also contains calculations of area, the calculation of the area of a circle and its transformation into a square, and finally calculations of the cubic measurements of pyramids.—Philadelphia Record. Shaking Hands. Men shake hands with strangers on their own sex with far greater readiness than do women. Two men, on being presented to one another, will frequently extend the hand in a grasp of greeting, which gives opportunity to form general idea of each other's make up and know whether they are attracted to repulsed. Occasionally there is a man with sufficient good nature and courage to refuse another man's hand without causing offense. There are men who have been so impressed with the coversis of bacteriology that they maintain handshaking to be the cause of dissemination of disease germs. The ban hand comes in contact with innumerable germs looking for pasturage on some vulnerable spot of our anatomy. A curer abrasion on the hand leaves a door open for the admission of the enemy. Therefore it is with reason that me argue against promiscuous handshaking out of the home among the men men in business life. Science long ago frowned upon the practice of promiscuous feeling.

The bodice which has the invisible fastening continues in vogue although many costumes have a tight back with a semiloose plastron. Sleeves continue to be quite close fitting, with a slight fullness at the top. The neck dressings are less complicated the decoration above the high collar covering only one-third of the neck.

Great difficulty is experienced in clearing the head and throat. No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stomach and affects the appetite. To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional—alternative and tonic. "I was allied with catarrh. I took medicines of different kinds, giving each a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until I could hardly hear, taste or smell.

For this reason anaemic people are generally troubled with them, and in their case the general health must be improved before a cure can be effected. Constipation also tends to produce pimples and blackheads. People who suffer from these should eat largely of fruit, both ripe and stewed, and avoid starchy food, such as potatoes and bread. This simple emollient will soften the skin without making it greasy and is excellent for wiping over one's face after a bicycle ride or, if used warm, after being out in a keen wind: Take three parts milk and one part cucumber juice, heat almost to boiling and skim before using.

A certain incident connected with the great Napoleon while he was in exile in Elba is commemorated in the island to this hour by an inscription affixed to the wall of a peasant's house. A man named Gigoni was plowing when the famous exile came along one day and expressed an interest in his work. Napoleon even took the plowshare out of the man's hand and attempted to guide it himself. But the oxen refused to obey him, overturned the plow and spoiled the furrow. The inscription runs thus: "Napoleon the Great, passing by this place in MDCCXXIV, took in the neighboring field a plowshare from the bands of a peasant and himself tried to plow, but the oxen, rebellious to those hands which yet had guided Europe, head-long fled from the furrow."—Youth's Companion. Talk on Forestry. Washington, March 26.—President Roosevelt and Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture were among the members of the Society of American Foresters who attended the early meeting of that association at home of Gifford Pinchot, chief officer of the Department of Agricultural night. The President remained at half an hour. He made an initial talk to the assembly on the general subject of the preservation of trees and of forestry as a profession. He said that the object of the country politic was to make prosperous homes and to see that they were so. Homes, he said, could be temporarily prosperous through pest destruction, but could not be permanently so, except by the preservation of the forests. Forestry, declared, was the preservation of trees by a wise use of what they afforded. The professional forester, he said, was wide a field of usefulness as in other professions, such, for instance, as medicine and law and they would fit themselves for it by thorough study and by a wide point of view. The most hopeful sign in the best situation, the President believes, is that the kumbermen are appreciating its benefits of forestry and are utilizing it. The President touched the subject of irrigation, and in this section declared that forest protection is necessary to the success operation of this means of assisting the farmer in arid regions. Washington, March 29.—The ratification at Havana of the Cuban treaty, amended by the United States Senate and without further amendment replies matters, and insures the exchange of ratification in this city before Tuesday, March 31st. Article XI of the treaty provides that ratifications will be exchanged at Washington as soon as may before that date. Secretary Hay, when apprised of the motion of the Cuban Senate, expressed gratification. During the last three days, the Secretary has been in active communication with Minister Mueller, and no doubt the action of the Cuban Senate Committee in receding from its position was influenced more less thereby. Though only three days remain of the time limit within which ratifications can be exchanged, Secretary Hay said that as soon as special notification is given by cable of the mailing of the necessary documents, ratification can be exchanged at once without waiting for their receipt. The Secretary added that in his mes FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 41 miles from the foothills, and 1481 feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit JENNINGS' FOUL FLY. Is Struck a Woman Who Sues the Baltimore Club For $7,000. There is a possibility that one of Hughey Jennings' foul flies will cost the Baltimore Baseball Club and Exposition company $5,000 in coin of the realm. Caroline B. Newman is much interested in insects and base hits and never misses a first class exhibition of this sort. On Sept. 22 last she had a place in the grand stand when the Phillies played there. From her vantage point she sought to enjoy the game in peace and security. This at least is the story her lawyer tells in his petition to the court. She was no more than fairly interested in the proceedings when a wicked fly from Hughey Jennings' mighty bat invaded the grand stand, and, coming in contact with Mrs. Newman, did her, she says, violent injury. She takes the ground that the company is responsible for the safety of its patrons and asks $5,000 for her injury. Shrewd Desling Down Past. That story of a caricoon potato raises who refused an offer of 48 cents a barrel for 11 barrels of potatoes, declaring that he would have $6 or nothing for the load, is matched by a yarn that comes from Grand Lake Stream of a man who recently went after a calf that he had pastured out all summer and asked what he cured for the pasturing. "Well," said the farmer, "I've got a bill of $7 against you, but I will take the calf and curl it settled, provided you are willing." "No, sir," was the answer. "I will not do that, but I will tell you what I will do. You keep the calf two weeks longer, and you own her." His Journalistic Creed. Alfred Harmsworth of the London Daily Mail is quoted as confessing to this journalistic creed In The Bookman: "I believe in hard work, but hard work is not enough. "I believe in travel. "I believe that half the journalistic notions of what the public wants to read are wrong. "I believe the public is a far better critic than is usually imagined. "I believe that the public does not care one lota about size; if anything, a small journal is preferred to a big one. "I believe that price has very little to do with the success of a publication." Horticultural Commission. Sacramento, March 27. — The bill providing for the appointment of a state Horticultural Commissioner to succeed the former commission of nine members, went into effect last night and at present there is no horticultural quarantine officer, as Alexander Craw, who filled that position for many years, held his commission from the old board of Horticulture, which has been regulated out of existence. Under the new law the Horticultural Commissioner will appoint an assistant, who will be the quarantine officer. It is expected that Governor Pardee will not delay in appointing a commissioner. It is thought he would be pleased to have Elwood, Cooper of Santa Barbara, who was for many years President of the old Board, accept the position, but it is not known what Cooper will do so. If Cooper defines the position it is reported that Professor E. J. Wickson, head of the Agricultural Department of the State University, will be offered the place. Beauty and Strength Are desirable.

Seattle, March 26. — The tie-up of the street car system was almost complete on the first day of the street car strike. But seven cars were operated during day and these ran only spasmodically. Not more than three cars were running at any one time. There are now 643 names on the rolls of the union and the strikers say they have more than 90 per cent of the car men in their ranks. The officials of the company show no signs of weakening and the strikers are jubilant over the first day's battle. They will confine their efforts to keeping their organization intact, while the company will keep on trying to get new men. No overtures for peace were made by either side. Judge Canford's restraining order apparently had the desired effect in preventing even catcalls and jeers. The only disturbance worthy of notice this morning was caused by union labor.

Starve Sandow, or, what is practically the same thing, let him be dyspeptic, and his muscle would soon fail. Strength is made from food properly digested and assimilated, and no man is stronger than his stomach, because when the stomach is diseased digestion and assimilation are imperfect. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect digestion and assimilation of food so that the body is nourished into perfect health and strength. "I had what my physician called indigestion. He gave me medicine for the trouble but it did not good, written Mr. W. H. Wells, of Willard, N.C., I wrote to Dr. Pierce and stated my reason. He sent me a descriptive list and hyphenated it. I carried out these as best I could, bought six bottles of his 'Golden Medical Discovery' and commenced taking it. A few days later I noticed a great change. Pelt like a new man. Before I began the use of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' I suffered greatly with pain in stomach, my nerves seemed all 'run-down'. I was very thirsty in fresh, but now can eat heartily and sleep good at night." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only.

Yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. Government Secret Codes. Every government and almost every department has its secret codes of signs, figures or words devised by some clever code composer for use in the transmission of messages of supreme importance and with regard to which secrecy is of vital consideration. One which is said to be the clearest of all those now in use is employed by the United States state department. It is called the "sphinx." The "sphinx" was devised by one of the officials in the state department and is as susceptible to changes as the combination lock of a safe. Hundreds of messages have been sent by it, and it defies all attempts to unravel its meaning by those unacoquainted with the key. Her Page Secret Society. A well known Washington woman was doing the cathedral cities of England last summer. Throughout her tour she wore a tiny American flag pinned to the waist of her traveling dresses. A good many of the English people whom she met did not understand or pretended not to understand what the flag stood for. "You belong to some secret society, I perceive," said an English woman to whom she was introduced, pointing to the diminutive starry banner. "Yes," responded the Washington woman anxiously. "There are 70,000,000 of us." — Washington Post. Diplomatic. "Henry," she said disconsolately, "you didn't give me a birthday gift." By Jove, that's so," said Henry, "but you see you always look so young that I can't realize you ever had birthdays." Then she was happy, and he smiled the mean, subtle smile of a man who has saved money.—London Tit-Bits. His mother found him in the jam and reprimanded him. A little later she caught him teasing his baby sister and reprimanded him again. "I don't see what's got into you Willie," she said. "You're usually the good little boy, but today you're up to all kinds of mischief." "I'm tired of being good," he returned with juvenile frankness. "Tired of being good!" she exclaimed. "What do you mean by that?" Well, brother Bob is naughty most of the time, and you're always giving him things to get him to be good, and I guess I'll be naughty for awhile and see if I don't get something too." Sometimes a youngster seems to have wisdom beyond his years.—Chicago Post. Thedford's Black-Draught has saved doctors' bills for more than sixty years. For the common family ailments, such as constipation, indigestion, hard colds, bowel complaints, chills and fever, biliousness, headaches and other like complaints no other medicine is necessary. It invigorates and regulates the liver, assists digestion, stimulates action of the kidneys, purifies the blood, and purges the bowels of foul accumulations. It cures liver complaint, indigestion, sour stomach, dizziness, chills, rheumatic pains, sileacache, backache, kidney troubles, constipation, diarrhea, biliousness, piles, hard colds and headache. Every drugist has Thedford's Black-Draught in 25 cent packages and in pam-mouth size for $1.00. Never accept a substitute. Insist on having the original made by the Chattanooga Medicine Company. I believe Thedford's Black-Draught is the best medicine on earth. It is good for any and everything. I have a family of twelve children, and for four years I have kept them on foot and healthy with no doctor but Black-Draught. A.J.GREEN,Hillewa,La.

Talking to oneself has this obvious advantage over any other form of oratory or gossip: One is assured of a sympathetic audience. But it has also this peculiar drawback: It is supposed to be one of the early symptoms of insanity. Wrongly so perhaps. A mad doctor might rule the habit out of his diagnosis. Nevertheless the popular belief is firmly rooted, and it is for fear of this belief doubtless that we talk to ourselves even as we dress our hair with straws so rarely. It may be said that we never do address ourselves at any length except in the delirium of a fever. In moments of ordinary excitement of course we utter to the wind some sort of appropriate ejaculation. Delight wrings from us a cry of "Hurrah!" or "Thank heaven!" even though there be none by to echo us. Similarly in any disgust we emit one of those sounds whose rather poor equivalents in print are "Ugh!" and "Faugh!" and "Tut!" Much further than this we do not go. "Why, what an ass am I?" cries Hamlet in one of his soliloquies. Omitting the first word and transposing the last two, the ordinary modern man does often soliloquize to that extent. But he could no more soliloquize to Hamlet's extent than he could speak in decasyllables. Nor is there any reason to suppose that that class of the community with which contemptuous of his own fluency, Hamlet compared himself is or ever was more prone to soliloquize than any other. In the matter of soliloquies we cannot accept Hamlet as an unbiased authority. We merely find in him the possible origin of the belief that talking to oneself is a bad sign—Saturday Review.
