Canada is clamoring for a substantial Im
port duty on eggs. It should not be too
heavy or it might smash the eggs. In that
way Canada would fail in her duty.
Chicago proposes to wrench some of the
barnacles off the police force. That is a
step toward improving its efficiency. Many
other towns would do well to emulate that
very worthy example.
One of Blaine’s greatest tribulations is
that too many people undertake to talk for
him. Now it is a voluble son-in-law. But
there is no telling when Russell Harrison
may break out in a fresh place.
American millers have gone all in a
crowd to see their brethren in Liverpool.
Should they manage to a-meli-orate the
condition of the English miller he will
probably be mighty glad to see them.
Further complications are said to more
deeply than ever involve the muddle over
the office of governor of Nebraska. Noth
ing short of anew election se9ms to be quite
equal to completely straightening out the
tangle.
About the time the Florida lawmakers
get along toward the 97Sd ballot probably
Senator Call may get in again. At the
present rate of procedure though fully that
number of ballots will be required to satisfy
all the prospective candidates who insist
Bpon trying their luck.
Quite a flock of aspiring young Farra
guts are rapidly congregating at Annapolis
to take the places of those who have just re
tired to await the coming of excitement
and glory. Possibly a large share of the ex
pected excitement will consist in awaiting
the dawn of that anticipated glory.
Very likely Portugal would now be will
ing to sell her claims against the Congo
State at a pretty low rate. Considering the
present condition of Portuguese finances it
would be a regular wiudfall to the country
if she could manage to unload some of her
expensive and unprofitable foreign depend
encies.
Since stage robbing has grown compara
tively dull the bandits have apparently
taken to New York as a safer base of opera
tions. Every few days we hear of some
one who has been sandbagged or clubbed
Mid plundered. But the number of arrests
following such outrages is even smaller
than out in the wilds of the woolly west.
Newfoundland is still vigorously kicking
against the proposed measures to coerce
that country into abject su mission to the
British foreign office. Should the House of
Commons insist upon passing the proposed
bill, Newfoundland may gather up her guns
and proceed to bang away at the British
Rag. Then it will only be a matter of time
auitl Britannia loses another colony.
Evangelist Ram Jenee says, among many
stber idle and thoughtless remarks: “1 lik
a man who can do bis business in tbe day
time and stay at borne at night. If you
ean't do that you ought to take to the
woods.” This it the first intimation that
as disliked himself because of the clerical
aecessity for preschuig at night. Such an
opinion, if it really amounted to anything
at all, would bear down rather hard upon
the ministers, who hevs to do nearly ail ol
ihelr preaching at night—even on the Sab
Wtn. But Ham Joust doesn't count.
Not a Dumping Ground.
It is fully time European countries were
male to understand that this country is not
a damping ground for the scum of their
populations. There are more nndesirable
immigrants comiog here now than at any
previous time in our history. The regular
lines of steamships from Europe are not
able to accommodate them, and tramp
steamer* are being hired to transport them.
And the efforts made to prevent the unde
sirable immigrants from landing are ex
tremely feeble.
The Secretary of the Treasury, under a
law pas led by the last oougress, has ap
pointed a commission to go to Europe and
find out the means employed by the govern
ment! in the different European countries
to get the scum of their populations to
emigrate. It is considered absolutely cer
tain that moat of the people who are emi
grating from certain countries which are
sending ns large numbers of emigrants are
prorated to do so by their respective gov
ernments. It is even intimated that they
are the recipients of government aid. If
they are the commission that will visit
Europe this summer will find it out. and
the information will be laid before oongress
for its action.
The chairman of the commission is ex-Con
gressman Grosvenor of Ohio. He is an able
and an aggressive man, and the commission
under his direction will make a report, in all
probability, that will be worth something.
Congress has been dealing with tins im
migration question iu a hesitating aud un
certain kind of way. It has seemed afraid
to take any positive steps toward shutting
our gates against immigrants who are not
wanted aud who are harmful to us. We
have so long pursued the policy of re
ceiving all who come that it is
difficult to change it. Publio opinion, how
ever, has become so aroused by the coming
of hordes of people who are assimilated
with difficulty, and who are not only a bur
den to society but a menace to our institu
tions, that congress will be forced to take
steps to sift immigrants and admit only
those who are genuine homeseekers and who
will contribute to the upbuilding of the
country.
The steamship compiniei are supposed to
co-operate with the immigration authori
ties In keeping out undesirable immigrants,
but from all accounts they do not do so.
They are so eager to make money that
nearly all of them bring to this country
anybody who can pay his passage or whose
passage is paid. If they were forced to
take back the undesirable part of their
passengers they would be a little more care
ful to obey the immigration lawrs.
Asa matter of fact, we want only the
very best of the immigrants, and we are in
a position to pick and choose. If we accept
the scum, it ts our own fault, and we will
have to endure the evils with which it i?
sure to atfiict us.
A Troublesome Official.
Commissioner Raum is giving the Presi
dent a great deal of trouble. He ought to
resign, but he will not, although he knows
that his resignation would be acceptable to
the President. He had a long talk with tue
President on Wednesday, the purport of
wbioh has not been made public.
The commissioner talks too much. In
that respect he is like his predecessor Tan
ner. He has told some conflicting stories
relative to the crooked transactions of his
son. But his great mistake was in telling
the President that there is a conspiracy in
the interior department to get him out of
office.
Of course there is no conspiracy. Doubt
less the Secretary of the Interior would like
to get rid of him, but he is not the sort of a
man to attempt to accomplish that object by
underhand methods. The fact is Knutn
owes his present unhappy predicament to
himself and his son. If they had attended
strictly to business and had had nothing to
do with patent refrigerators, pension sharks
and the office brokerage business they
would be all right. They would have es
caped scandals and would have saved the
President a great deal of annoyance.
If Raum doesn’t resign he will be investi
gated by congress. The country Is not sat
isfied with the management of the pension
office and the President knows it isn’t. It
is probable, therefore, that the rumor that
the President Is looking for Raum’s suc
cessor is correct. And it can be pretty
safely stated that he will find him before
long.
The Outflow of Gold.
Europe is getting a great deal of our gold.
She has got more than #40,000,000 within
the last few months. And still the outflow
continues at the rate of several millions a
week. Our flnauoiers say that the outflow
will cease shortly. It is to be hoped that it
will. It is having a paralyzing effect in
this country. It is true that no financial
disturbances have been produced, and it is
probable that we could Rtaud the loss of a
good many millions more without showing
any symptoms of alarm, but, at tbe same
time, the fact cannot be concealed that there
is a lack of buoyant feeling iu the money
centers and business circles of the country.
Legitimate enterprises cannot be floated
so easily in New York to-day as they could
six months ago, and all kinds of securities
—even those which are gilt-edged—have a
downward tendency. If this condition of
affairs is not due to ths outflow of gold, to
what is it due? There is no other apparent
reason for the unwillingness of capitalists
to embark in new enterprises or for tbe
hesitation of people have money to in
vest to purchase first-class securities. Nor
oan the decrease m tbe volume of business
be explained on any other ground.
The reasons given for the outflow of gold
seem to be tbe correct ones, and doubtless
they are, and it may be that the purpose for
which Europe wants our gold is pretty
nearly accomplished. It is certainly to be
hoped that it is, for if tbe drain continues
much longer tbe summer will be a dull one
from a business standpoint.
Naturally enough the Hon. Steve Elkins
vigorously denies that he had any evil de
signs upon the sleek and innocent li: tie seals
that gracefully float along the shores of
Bering sea. So far from it he claims to
have no earthly connection whatever with
the North Amenosn Commercial Company,
which has a contract to monopolize the
whole business of slaughtering the soft in
nocents. Nothing cruel or crafty about
Mr. Elkins. Possibly he is a philanthropist
out of a job.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1891.
The Hostility to Phillips Brooke.
It is by no means certain that the Prot
estant Episcopal dioceses will confirm tne
election of Dr. Brooks as bishop of Massa
chusetts. The diocese of Newark has re
fused to consent to his consecration, and so
has the stauding committee of the diocese
of lowa. The vote in the Chicago Episco
pal synod will, it is supposed, be a tie, the
clergy being against, and the laity for, con
firmation. Indeed, tre opposition to him is
cropping out on all sides, and it would not
be at all surprising if bis confirmation
should be defeated simply because be is not
as much of a High Churchman as some of
the High Church people think he ought
to be.
The charge is made against him that he
is in sympathy with the views held by Dr.
Heber Newton, of All Souls’ church. New
York c.ty, who is charged with being a
heretic, and who is to be required to answer
the charge. Dr. Newton says that "the
church is in a panic, that men are no
longer controlled by reason, but are going
blind.” It begins to look as if there were
truth in this statement.
It would seem to be a grave mistake to
refuse to confirm the election of Dr. Brooks.
He has never been charged with being a
heretic. No exception has ever been taken
to any of his pulpit utterances. And be is
one of the most powerful pulpit orators of
the world. His ability to state Clyistian
truths so that the common people can un
derstand and appreciate them is remark
able. In that respect he has few equals and
no superiors. His following is large and
influential, and it will not desert him.
A failure to confirm his election, therefore,
simply because High Church clergymen
object to him might result in incalculable
damage to the church.
If he is not a consistent Episcopalian it
is strange that the fact was not discovered
until he was elected bishop. He has cer
tainly said nothing since he was elected that
would indicate that he is not. It really
looks as if the charge that he holds views
opposed to those of the church were a
trumped up one, and made for the purpose
of defeating his confirmation. The heretic
hunters are striking at shining marks, and
in their zeal they do not seem to care how
much damage they may do to their church.
Eham Civil Service Reform.
There is a good deal of sham in civil serv
ice reform. Those whose duty it is to 6ee
that the laws against violators of civil serv
ice rules and regulations are properly
enforced have not yet reached that point
where they are willing to do their duty
faithfully, fearlessly and conscieutiously.
Quite a long time ago a man in Washing
ton was arrested for violating that pro vis.
ion of the civil service laws which prohib
its the collection of money from govern
ment employes for campaign purposes.
During Mahone’s last campaign in Virginia
this provision of the law was violated. A
man who assessed aud collected campaign
subscriptions from government clerks was
arrested. He bas never been brought to
trial, and, acoording to our dispatches yes
terday, he was recently given his liberty to
hunt for a bondsman.
The prosecuting attorney, who is a repub
lican, has as yet taken no steps to bring
this man to trial, notwithstanding the fact
that the evidence against him appears to be
clear. And neither the President nor the
Attorney General seems to care much
whether the culprit i9 tried or not.
Tbe civil service commissioners have done
all they could to have the prosecuting attor
ney do his duty, but they have met with no
success. The prosecuting officer seems to
think that if he shows zeal iu the matter he
will lose bis place.
The power behlna him, of coarse, is the
cause of his indifference. It Is clear that
neither the President nor the Attorney
General wants the as cused man tried. They
tbiDk, probably, that if the accused man
were brought to trial and civil service re
form upheld they would lose some political
influence, which the President, who is seek
ing a renominution, may need. A great
reform is blocked, therefore, in the interest
of the President’s ambition for a second
term.
What Italy wanted to know chiefly was
whether Fava lived richly and well or
whether he was given to frequenting those
cheap restaurants with which Washington
is literally peppered. That seems to bo
going a trifle too far. Simply because a
man represents a certain country in a for
eign land his government hardly has a
right to gaze down bis throat and decide on
what meat he habitually feeds. In order to
be a faithful representative of Italy Rudini
seems to think that Fava should stick to
straight macaroni with dyspeptic Roman
condiments and wear genuine Neapolitan
olive oil iu his hair. But that is going a
trifle too far. In a freer land Fava should
be at liberty to squander his salary m high
priced hotels or gorge himself at the free
lunch counters. Neither would materially
interfere with his translation of an official
dispat -h. All that should be particularly
required of Fava is to studiously avoid the
powerful and alluring American booze.
Notwithstanding the alleged barbarity
of Mayor Shakespeare and Messrs. Parker
son aud Wickliffe lo the recent New Orleans
renovating sociable all of the gentlemen
appear to be taking quite prominent parts
in such national gatherings as they may
happen to attend. At the Kansas City
commercial congress Mr. Wickliffe took
quite a prominent part, and now Mayor
Shakespeare is occupying a very conspicu
ous position in the trans-Mississippi confer
ence at Denver. This may teud to show
that the apparently rash action of these
gentlemen was not so much the result of
impetuous partion as of the deliberate con
viction t hat organized assassination had to
be suppressed.
Iu an ironical tone Italy is now tremu
lously inquiring whether we expaot indem
nity for the trouble those New Orleans
citizens had in exterminating the Mafia
assassins. Reilly it seems as if we ought to
get something for it. Let it go this time.
But Italy should bear in mind that the
United States is not an institution for tbe
execution of foreign criminals. If we have
to kill off any more of the u for thl land of
tbe Cmsars we shall feel obligod to charge
expenses and exemplary damages to our
national serenity.
What California supposed to he a distinct

Dr. Karl Oesterley, who died recently in

ship. with the directors.rip of the art g lilery,
until 1861. Among his best works are" Witte

queen, and became a working nurse in a London
hospital. But the work was too much for her,
and the scrubbing and drudging to which ad
nurses are subject undermined her health and
brought on consumption, from which she
recently died.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Violent Grab for Votes.
From the Washington Post (Ind.).
If the Cincinnati platform doesn't make a
good catch of votes it will not be because It is
lacking in length or breadth.
Collection of Absent Cranks.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star (Rep.).
George Francis Train, E. Stone Wiggins and
Rev. “Sun Do-Move” Jasper are not in Cincin
nati this week. Their absence provokes com
ment.
They Got Together.
From the -Yew York Tribune (Rep.).
The discordant elements in the Cincinnati
convention "got together" to such an extent
yesterday that "the People’s party of the
United States of America" was launched, a
platform adopted and a national committee
appointed. The platform demands the aboli
tion of national banks, advocates tbe “sub
treasury plau,’ favors free coinage of silver, a
tax on incomes, the eleclion of President and
vice president and senators by popular vote,
etc On the tariff there is no clear utterance.
The comparatively harmonious action of the
convention at tbe last was a surprise to the
delegates themselves. How soon the harmony
will disappear time will show.
The feeds of Dissension Sawn.
From the New York Times (Ind.).
The new party. constituted by the
disgruntled politicians and the “cranks” and
dreamers of half a dozen western states, an
nounces in its platform the purpose of captur
ing the convention already called for February
84 next, but, failing that, its central committee
is directed to call a national convention "not
later than June J, 1892, for the purpose of nomi
nating candidates for President and Vice Presi
dent.” This is an omen of division and not of
UDion. The abler and more level headed leaders
of the organizat.oos which joined in the call for
tbe February convention will never submit to
the control of the short-sighted and feather
brained fanatios who ruled the Cincinnati con
ference. The seeds of dissension and antagon
ism in the ranks of the discontented have al
ready been sown.
Particularly a Tariff Protest.
From the Philadelphia Times (Ind.).
In other words, the convention at Cincinnati
was really a protest against the McKinley bill
and tbe policy of tbe Pillion congress, nnd it is
the revolt of the western farmers fiom their
old party allegiance that, more than their
pr sent impracticable schemes, gives Impor
tance to the iew party movement. It is linpos

The Flag- Have Camel
Forming one of a circle around the camp Are
at tbs Tenderloin club a few nights ago, says
the New York Press, was Gen. Dustan. the
genial chairman of the committee of epicures.
When tbe general’s turn came he related the
following episode as haring occurred during tbe
late ui pleasantness, which was apropos of tbe
conversation, which bad turned on the conva
lescence of Gen. Kosecrans, register of the
treasury:
“1 am delighted to hear,” said Gen. Dustan,
“that Rosy, as he is affectionately called, is
well again. 1 was with him in Tennessee dur
ing the war. I never saw him fazed but once,
and on that occasion he had great diffl -ulty in
keeping a straight face, altho igh preparing f r
a funeral. He had on his staff a military dude,
who got there no ona knew how. He was one
of those fe lows resplendent in uniform, who
make their horses prance sideways on parade.
He was certainly beautiful to look
at, but he never opened his mouth without
fatal results. Gen. Plummer had been killed,
and the preparations for the funeral in proper
military style were nearly complete. A flag
was required to cover the caisson on which tae
coffin rested, ana Rosrcraus dispatched his
dudish aid to procure one. Returned witn the
flag in bis hand, the resplendent creature
caused his horse to prance up to the general,
and, after saluting, he said: ‘General, the flag
have came:' A broad grin appeared upon the
faces of the rest of the staff, but Kosecraas,
with admirable composure, ordered the dude
to take the flag to tbe caisson, and. as that
worthy pranced off in great magnificence, Sur
geon Thrale stepped up to the general, and, sa
luting with mock solemnity, remarked: ‘Gen
eral. the flag have went!’ This was too much
for Rosy, whose dignity vanished under the in
fluencwof the hearty laughter that followed."
To Raise Bananas.
A little, dried-up specimen of rural verdancy
was seen standing near the Alton gates st the
Union depot, carefully holding two banana
stalk3, says the Chicago -Veto*.
There was a piece of newspaper neatlv
wrapped about the lower eud of them, and
they were tied together with many yards of
cotton twine. He was notiesd by Officer Good
man, who asked him what he was doiug with
the banana stalks.
“Them's bsnany plaDts,” he answered guile
lessly. “I’m goin’ ter take ’em home an’ raise
some bananiss.”
"But they won’t grow,” commented the
officer.
“Oh, you'se can’t fool me, fer I knows better.
Thet feller out there tol’ me they’d grow, an’
he knows, I guess, fer he raises ’em himself—
he top me.’’
“Did he give them to you?”
“Course not. I paid a dollar’n a half for ’em,
in good coin, too.’’
“But you have been robbed. Those things
won’t grow.”
“You can't take me in, fer thet feller tol’ me
folkses ud try to take 'em away turn me, but
yer can't do it.”
“How did you come to buy them?”
“Well, I went ter this feller to buy some
bananies an' he askt me’f I’s a farmer. I tol’
him yes, an' he askt me why I didn’t do’s he did
an’ rai: e the fruit myself. I tol’ him I'd like ter
but I couldn't get the seed. Then he sold me
these for a doller’n a half, an’ I'll havi two ban
any trees next year ’’
He hoarded the train with the stalks carefully
carried in his arms.
“AU-a-Right.”
She was just a little clerk in a store, a novice
at the work, says the Detroit /■ ree Press, but
very willing to be taught, courteous and oblig
ing to everybody, and with one phrase that
seemed to fill all places and conditions. When
she made one of those trifling mistakes which
the new clerk always makes, and was repri
manded for it by the general manager, she
would listen carefully, and when he had finished
would nod her head and answer pleasantly,
“AH a right.”
Not knowing our speech well she was chary
of using It, and although she smiled on all her
fellow -clerks she had little to say to them.
They liked her and were at paiDS to tell her the
rules of the houße, and she would listen and in
the sweetest way imaginable utter a soft “tank
you."
For the crowds of shopping women who han
dled her goods and kept her taking down bales
and bales of them for their inspection, she had
always tbe one happy phrase, even when they
did not want the goods: “All a right.’’
Ohe day there was an accident. Going home
at the noon hour the girls stepped under a
scaffolding that came crashing down upon
them. Only one va hurt. The ambulance
was soon there and loving hands prepared to
lift her tenderly into it, although all knew that
her hurt was mortal.
But she, brave little woman, looked with
wile-open, far-seeing eyes into the blue noon
sky. a id as her whitening lips moved, and a
smile settled on her face, they heard the quaint
old phrase, her last Words bn earth: “All-a
right.” .
Timidity Saved Him Three Tlmel.
We point with pride, says the Albany Union,
to Joseph Sehinan and Mrs. Joseph Sehman,
who, until yesterday, was Miss Lizzie Nichols
of Riverside, N. J. Joseph had persevered
against an overmastering weakness, and Lizzie
had trampled on a very human pride to an ex
tent that wins our admiration.
Joseph has loved Lizzie for many days, so the
report runs, and was well beloved by Lizzie. He
proposed in due time, was accepted, and the
day for the wedding arrived, with it came
pretty Lizzie to the altar. But Joseph failed
to come. There were tears and righteous
execrations, and many a pretty pout.
The days passed, and with them came ex
planations from Joseph. It was all his timidity.
At the last moment, his heart failed him, and
in that panic which bashfuluess will often
precipitate he fled from the bliss which he
longed for.
Lizzie benignantly forgave him. The sun
shone again, and anew day for the nuptials was
set. It came, but again brought no Joseph.
Another explanation was as successful as the
first, and a third attempt to execute the frac
tious contract was as futile as the other two.
When the young man came for the fourth
time to sue for the lady’s hand, full of humilia
tion for his foolish terror, she made her con
sent provisional on their immediate marriage.
Before he had bad time to be stricken with his
unfortunate malady he had been pronounced a
husband by the nearest minister.
We trust that all their hopes of happiness
may be realized.
Just Ona Mors Question.
Senator Zeb Vance of North Carolina, while
at the Palace hotel, San Francisco, with a party
of friends, noticed a young man with a slight
limp walk across the corridor and pause to
glance at the register. The senator eyed him
for a moment and, turning to a Call reporter,
said: “You didn’t know that I limped for
years, did you? Well, I was hit in the leg by a
federal bullet that caused me no little incon
venience. I got around pretty well; but while
standing in Jackson, Mies.. I noticed a long
haired countryman eyeing me pretty closly, aDd
be finally approaohed me.
‘“Look here, my friend,’ he said. ’I don’t
want to appear curious, but I would like to
know if you’re really lame.’
‘‘l replied that I w as.
“ ’Well, you’ll excuse me, won’t you? I just
kinder thought I’d ask, reckonin' you wouldn’t
get riled about it. Wounded, I suppose, in the
wary’
“ ‘Yes, I was wounded,’ I said abruptly.
“ ‘You sec, I don't know, and I’d like to
ask you another question,’ still eyeing me criti
cally.
‘“Go ahead. What is it?’
" ‘l'd just like to know if you was shot run
nin’ or eaught in a trap.’
"Everybody roared who heard it, and it cost
me about $lO for tbe drinks.”

They were engaged. She came to him
With eyes that glowed as hot as hades,
And said, with angry look and grim,
“I'm told, sir, you have kissed two ladies'.”
"Why, darling, how absurd your rage!”
He, laughing, cried, “Twas but in fun;
Together add both maidens' age,
‘T’would but amount to twenty-one,’
Her anger soon was iauged away;
She only thought of ten and eleven.
Her eves again shone bright as day,
Refliciing there the lover's heaven.
O rogue: Though what you said was true,
She did not know the truths between,
That one of them was only two,
The other temptress- sweet nineteen.

Tug bi.cs .jay liar who hails from Astoria,
Cal., is about as picturesque aa any. He says
that Andrew Young recently discovered that
blue Jays were digging up potatoes, flying with
them in their bills and dropping them into a
hole In a hollow tree on his ranch for future
use. The potatoes fell through to the ground,
and Mr. Young immediately nad a large idea.
He harvested the potatoes on hisown raucn and
the blue-jays then turned their attention to the
potato patches of his neighbors. This matter
arranged, Mr. Young carried the potatoes
away in a sack as fast as the birds dropped
them into the tree, and in this way he harvested
fifty bushels as a gift via the blue-jay express
from bis neighbors. The snake 1 tsur wiU have to

Among the visitors to the Smithsonisn Insti
tution on Monday were Dr. Gatling and Mr.
Maxim, both of whom are celebrated as the in
ventors of rapid firing and destructive ordnance.
They were there about the same time, but not
together. Mr. Watkins, who is curator of the
department of transportation, bade farewell to
Dr. Gatling, tbe famous American inventor, at
the northeast door, and, turning a minute later,
greeted Maxim, Dr. Gatling's great English
rival. Mr. Watkins thought it an odd experi
ence to meet the two men in the same place
within a few minutes. Mr Maxim has been de
voting hims.lf recently to experimenting in the
field of aerial navigation, and went to the
Smithsonian tosee Prof. I-angley. Mr. Maxim's
experiments, conducted at his place in Eng
land, as he described them to persons who con
versed with him, have been exceedingly practi
cal in character.
They say that in his secret heart “Old
Hutch” idolizes his thrifty and respected son
Charles, although professing objections to his
art and mission and social interests It was
soon alter Charles was first established in busi
ness iso goes the Chicago story) that Isaac
came to his father and said, “Dad, I think you
ought to do something for me, too.” The old
man looked him over; “you’re rigot, Ike,” said
he,.“and when 1 come back from tbe farm I’ll
have thought it over and I'll tell you what I
make up my mnd to do for you. Yon come
down to the board of trade at such and such a
time.” So Isaac presented himself to his par
ent at the appoiuted time, and said he, “Well,
father, have you made up your mind what
you’re going to do for me?” “Yea Ike”, and
there was a gleam in the eyes of the parent,
“Yes. Ike: I'vemade up my mind to get you
a Waterbury watch.”
An English divine has prepared a startling
table of the figures perusal of which will make
one thankful that he is living in the latter part
of the nineteenth century Instead of in the days
immediately following the landing of the ark.
He shows that if one of Noah's boys had lived
to be 500 years old, having his first child at 30
and his last at 470, and allowing for but one
addition to his family every three years, and
supposing them all to live to tbe ripe old age of
450, he could gather around him at least 147
sous and daughters. With a reasonable degree
of prolific bearing his grandchildren would
number between 10,000 aud 1 ~000; the great
and the great-great grandchildren taken with
the others enumerated above would swell the
figures to something like 50,000; this, too, if
monogamy alone were practiced. If polygamy
were the rule, as it probably was at that time,
the figures would be still more startling.
The 10-year old Crown Prince of Germany ap
pears to be in a fair way of becoming an insuf
ferable little prig. A few days ago, when
returning with his brothers from a drive, the
palace guards, as usual, turned out on the ap
proach of the imperial children. As the carriage
nad driven up rather rapidly, tbe men were
forced to run as fast aa they could to assume
their places In the ranks, and one unfortunate
fellow, in his haste, forgot Ws gun. This was
immediately noticed by the Crown Prince, who,
as soon as ever the carriage had stopt ed, instead
of entering tue palace, hurried off with his
brothers to the officer in command of the guard
for the purpose of lodging a c umplaint a.-ainst
the soldier who had appeared without his rifle.
The result was that the soldier was sentenced
to four days’ arrest and to a further term of
fatigue duty for his remissness, while the Berlin
papers are filled with laudatory notices of the
military feeling and precision of the future Em
peror of Germany.
A dentist in the New York Ledqer says: “To
determine a person s character by the teeth
take the upper front teeth. They are tbe true
index of the nature of a man or a woman.
Hero,” be said, “is the tooth of a young lady
who has a lovely disposition and is universa ly
beloved; see how regular and dainty the forma
tion is, aud yet possessing all requisite points
for a perfect tooth Here you see the tooth of
a man who is cruel, although his cruelty is of
the refined kind; notice that the tooth is white
and rather sharp and long. Then this tooth,
stumpy and coarse in form, denotes the brutal
ity; it is from the jaw of a man of brutal na
ture. Here is a curious tooth from the mouth
of a peevish, fretful woman; the crown has a
sharp, fretful turu to it. Now we have the tooth
of a sensuous woman; you see it is square,
although of good shape, and depressed in the
center; its weirer has caused a great deal of
distress in the hearts of neglected wives. Now
we come to one that belong id once in the mouth
of a lady who is noted for ner refinement and
intellectual development It is slender and
perfect in shape—one of the kind of teeth that
go with long, slender fingers.”
According to the Norwich Bulletin, Prof.
Brewer of Yale recently told a good snake
story. Years ago he was in California and had
his tripod and other surveyor s instruments in
the field. Stepping a’ong in the bushes he feit
a movement under his feet and found he was
standing on a four aud a half foot rattlesnake—
a large,' vicious, and fighting fellow, hut the
snake was so pinioned that he could not strike
the thick boot that held him fast. Prof. Brewer
held the ratt ler's head down with his tripod and
cut it off. Then he cut off his rattles. Stepping
aside he saw the body of the snake, partly
coiled, lying very still. Taking out his rule to
measure its length the professor took hold of
the serpent to straighten him out. "Quick as
an electric shock,” said Prof. Brewer, "that
headless snake brought the bloody stump over
and struck a hard blow upon the back of my
hand.” He added: “I knew that his head was
off and that he could not poison me, but' that
quick and hard blow of the rattler made my
hair stand on end.” Prof. Will ster, standing
by, said: "T have on two or three occasions seen
similar sudden blows by headless rattlesnakes ”
At the home of a well-known Jewish citizen
of St. Louis was recently seen a tiny flame
burning in a handsome goblet. Examination
showed the goblet to be half filled with water,
on the top of which floated about an inch of
pure olive oil A miniature Boat of corks,
fastened on either side of a metallic ring,
rested upon the oil On the ring was placed a
wax taper, hardly thicker than a thread, pass
ing through a small circle of thin wood, so that
the lower end of the thread dipped through the
ring into the olive oil. The upper end of the
taper was lighted, as above mentioned. The
on drawn up through the wax-covered taper
served to krep it alight for several hours.
"We burn this,” said the lady of the house,
"in memory of one of our dead. When that
taper burns nearly out we will substitute an
other, so that the flame, like the vestal Are,
never goes out. We light the taper when our
relative dies and let it burn a year, the last one
being allowed to burn out We attend to these
lights with great care, thus keeping alive the
memory of our loved one. It is an old custom
of ours, and one seldom now observed. Some
burn it only for a week, while others burn it
for a month. Our family adheres to the cus
tom in all its purity; always keeping the flame
alive for a year.”
The late Prof. Michael of the Berlin
Academr of Arts was a man of unusually com
manding presence aud manners. One after
noon a banker's messenger went to his studio
with a mortgag >on a house on which he had
lent money. Tie professor expected a model
at the same hour. The messenger had served
in the army, so when he was led into the studio
he stood still to wait orders. He saw the pro
fessor’s classhsrd at work from a nude model
and began to show symptoms of uneasiness.
The professor heard him shifting about and
shouted testily, “Take off your coat." The
messenger hesitated, but his military training
was too much for him, and he removed it. Five
minutes passed. The proses-.or looked up.
"Na-a! Go ahead.” he called out. "Takeoff
your shoes and stockings." The mes
senger looked for some way of
e cape, but the professor had shifted his
place so that he sat before the door, and there
was no window near at Hand. So the man re
luctantly bared his feet. He shivered on the
tile flooring for ten minutes before the pro
feasor looked up again. "What in the devil do
you mean!" roared the Irate artist "Havel
got to mention every garment before you will
remove ft? < iff with your vest and trousers."
