The Venezuelan squabble is fast dc Teioptritf into just what miyht have lK'n expected, and which was exjxt-fd by a good ninny people at the start of the trouble, that is a war for conquest by the allied (tower. Neither has the -ijL'ht of this government as enun ciated In tliO .Monroe doetrinc, rnen properly respected. Given the animus to this principle, as we have abundant evidence does exist on the part of Eiiyliind and Oer Jnativ, how could we e-cl a proper respect for tills policy by a people who have been so manifestly unfair to a weakliny. except the iron arm ofpower t i . ... hihi-hisch to command that respect? Venezuelans and their s v mpathi.eis claim that the demands of England and Germany are not honest demands, and back their assertions with facts that ate patent to all. Anion.' them is the fact that the powers -.bow a d cttled indisposition to submit to anad- judication of their claims before an impartial tribunal. Other incident liave occurred recently to add force to this argument. Whatever Ik- the result and fina outcome or affairs L tide Sam would do well to look to his interests, and do it now.

The Sauukl railway of Iilkoku has arraugea to nave Its refreshment cars served by waitresses, says the Japan Times. Every train includes one such car, and each has a waitress as attend ant. This arrangement was started a few mouths since, and the girls were selected from about thirty applicants as having the following qualifications; Hint, a passable personal appearance; second, education: third, good health; fourth, good conduct, and fifth, an ab solutely respectable past. The waitress es rank as official of the railway and are under the following regulations First, hair to be dressed In the ageinak: i styles resembling a Greek helmet; sec ond, costume to consist of a kimono of an improved style and a brown skirt; U,irLLU' fcrn to rest einoon by turns and fotirlli, the girls on duty to behave with military discipline, to take no "tips," to refrain from chatter with the passen gers, iiinl when passengers are in the carriage to .stand in (lie corner of the carriage. Among the girls who have entered the service are many from re spectable families, and they have be haved well and decently. The company had apprehended that passengers might heuuve vulgarly toward them, but hap pily every respect has been paid to them, and the railway authorities con sider the service a success.

An Egyptian mummy of 2,000 years ago recently examined showed evi dences of having died of appendicitis, so that the disease is not by any means new. Four hundred cases were oper ated on In London hospitals last year, all but ten successfully. Sir Francis Treves has operated with success on 100 consecutive cases. It is said that the modern fine flour is one of Its causes. The increasing occurrence of the trouble has opened a new field for insurance in England, One of the most prominent firms in Lloyd's has made uew departure In the form of policies insuring against appendicitis. For a premium of 5 shillings the insured should he undergo an operation, will have all his direct expenses paid up to $1,000. In the event of his death un der or as a result of the operation a to tal sum of $1,000 will be paid. TIMELY TOPICS. as soon as the excitable French learned that Mme.

The attempt to utilize two native del icate fibers as a substitute for cotton in many of its uses seems to be progress lug, says .Modern Mexico. The plants produce a cotton of two classes. The smaller one gives a coffee colored seed and grows and multiplies without special care all the year round. Its fiber Is thicker than that of th common cotton. The seed of the other plant is of a ugut blue color. This plant requires special cultivation and irrigation, with out which It will give but oue crop in the year. The fiber is finer than the other and as fine as the finest cotton.

Oritlnal.) Many were the daring plans during tue reign of terror In Paris to save some patrician who was about to be led to the guillotine. Among them that which was conceived for the young Marouise ue la ravette was probably the most patuetic tn its results. Jean iruvllle was an Idealist. Tbouch or goou out not noble family, he Joined the revolutionary forces simply through a desire to better the condition of the lower classes. When, however, he saw Paris deluged 1 with blood, he learned how dangerous it Is to' put power Into the hands of people who do not know now to use It. Jean had studied the law jHnd before the revolution had been summoned to the Chateau Favette to draw the old duke's will. There he had met the Marquise Louise, his daughter, and she had won his heart not only by tne eiiarm of lier presence, but by treat ing him as her equal. When during the reign of terror one day the duke was ieu out to execution and jean learned that Louise was to suffer the name fate in order that the family of aristocrats might become extinct, he resolved to save her even If he lost his own life in doing so. In drawing the duke's will Jean had noticed that provision was made for the return of a son and heir to the es tate who had gone to America with La fayette to take part in the American Revolution and had been reported miss ing after one of the battles In which the French troops were engaged. Jean went to the Chateau Favette, procured, a likeness of this young man 3ml hired a costumer to make him up to resemble the subject of the picture. Then, seek ing an old woman who had been his laundress for years, he gave her all the money he possessed to sign a statement that she had canted a child to the Cha teau r avefte twenty years before who had been adopted by the duchess in place of her own child, still born, and without the duke's knowledge of the substitution. It was the day appointed for the ex ecution of Louise de la Favette. Jean as soon as the tribunal whose sole bust ness it was to bring aristocrats to the guillotine came together walked up to the desk before the president and said "Citizen, I am Antolne de la Favette, Just returned from America, where have been fighting the great battle which you are fighting here the bat tie of human liberty. I find that you have executed my father, and my sis ter is to die today. If you desire to cut off our family completely, you must eX; ecute me and not the young girl who Is supposed to me my sister, for she is not a La tavette, having been adopted by my raotner without her knowledge. "What proof have you of the truth of what you say?" asked the citizen Judge. "I may easily be Identified from por traits of me In the Chateau Favette. Besides, my father must have left a will. In that will he surely made pro vision for my return, for he had no proof of my death. As to proof of my statement respecting my supposed sis ter, I have provided myself with the sworn statement of Rachel Duprey, who carried the babe to the chateau." The citizen Judge looked at the young man who proposed to give bia life for another with astonishment then read Rachel Duprey's statement "Arrest this man and stay the execu tion of Cltizeness Favette." Jean was Imprisoned in the concler- gerie while the court investigated the truth of his statement The will of the late duke on file verified Jean's statement as to the missing heir, and Rachel Duprey stood by her written af fldavit that she had carried Louise to the chateau. The court was too busily engaged in Its bloody work to probe the matter and decided to consider Jean the rightful heir to the Favette estate. The next question was, should he, hav ing voluntarily given himself up, be executed. He had fought in the cause of liberty in America and had acted nobly in presenting himself to save Louise. But he was the Duke de la Favette, and the revolutionists wished to exterminate his family and to get possession of bis estate. Therefore aft er a spirited debate It was voted to es ecute him. One morning a soldier entered the conciergerle and read the names of number of persons there who were to be taken out for execution. One of them was Citizen Favette. Louise, who supposed that the man bad made an error in reading citisen instead of cltizeness, was trying , to get up from her chair to go to her death when she saw a young man rise and take his place among the con demned. The next moment the soldier read: ' , - "She who was known as Cltizeness Favette Is free to go." ; , When the batch was completed and tne prisoners were filing out, Jean. passing Louise, whispered tn her ear: "I die for you because I love raa." After the restoration of the Bourbons the Duke de la Favette returned to France. He had been left for dead on battlefield, taken by a trapper west ward and captured by a tribe of In dians In the then wilderness of Ohio. In Paris he found bis sister, who had learned something of the plan by which, she had been saved from death. JNotning that had been done br the! 1 1 revolutionists stood under the new re gime, and the duke found little difficul ty in regaining his estates. - , Louise de la Favette never married. considering herself the wife of the man who had died for her. So ion as h lived she made pilgrimages to the ceme tery of Per.? la Chaise tor place flowers on the grave of Jean Truville, snd when she died she was laid beside him. . LAURA EGERTON.
