Treat each man according to his worth as a man. Distrust the who he would have any one class classed down by any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. ```markdown ``` SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1905. VARDAMAN ON ROOSEVELT. We are sadly grieved at being compelled to state that Governor Vardaman firmly and sternly refuses to be placated and still continues to pour out the vials of his wrath upon the President's head and the rest of his body. And not only his own wrath but that of nine-tenths of the white people of the state. The governor's grievances are as follows. Specification 1: Mr. Roosevelt violated his out of office by suspending or abolishing a postoffice at a county seat and thereby inconvenienced a whole community because it refused to submit to political and social equality with the Negro. Specification 2: He has not had the manhood to correct the slander on Jefferson Davis, which, in my judgment, is a slander of the whole South. He does correct it falsely. I shall never have any respect for him. Specification 3: I notice another thing which I think destroys all of the good that could possibly come from the law. I see that the people were blotted out, and that is this one paragraph in his Tuskegee speech: "The future of the South now depends upon the people of both races living up to the spirit of the law, of the laws of their several states, and working out their own laws, not in the way as but law-abiding American citizens." "I do not believe that Mr. Roosevelt understands what that means, and if his advice were followed it would lead to interminable trouble in the state of Mississippi. It is the most unequivocal, barefaced, bold and shameless declaration in favor of power that has been asserted between the white and Negro races that was ever made by any white man on earth who had any regard for the integrity and purity of the white race. The profundity of his ignorance of the race question is as pernicious as hell itself." It would be well for this bumptious little governor to soak his head and take a few doses of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup and a hypodermic injection. RESULTS SATISEFACTORY. The Afro-American has actual cause to congregate himself upon the results of the recent elections; for they were decidedly in his favor and he was by no means an irrelevant factor in the election. The them about victory was in Maryland, where the inquitous "Poe Amendment" was completely buried out of sight and the unsavvy Gorman Bourbons routed, horse, foot and dragons. The whole country was in a state of "All at once, and nothing first." Just as bubbles do when they burst. In Virginia, there was a contest between Democracy and Lily-Whiteism and Lily-Whiteism under, or above, the poorest of the Afro-American voters whisely refused to support the Lily-White aspirant for governor, so. "He smiled a kind of sickly smile. And curled up on the floor, he sat in the chair, proceeding. Interested him no more." Tummany管理 to push McClelan through by a scratch, on the face of the returns; but Hearest is vigorously contesting the election; at all times the man is done for as Presidental timeliness. In Georgia, Hoax Smith, backed by Tom Watson, is carrying on a campaign on the direct issue of Afro American disfranchisement, but there is no doubt that the suit will be when the election is held. Tom Watson will be Hoke's "old man of the Sea," if the Pledged Hotel bar don't do him up, as seems likely. So end as we began by congratate him in a race upon the results of the elections. LONGLEY OF LA GRANGE. Judge F. M. Longley of La Grange, Ga., thus spreads himself through the columns of Hoke Smith's organ, the Atlanta Journal: "I lived through the stormy sixties. I saw the gray hairs of noble, educated old men driven from the polls and fat-nosed, grimming cottonfield Negrogen to Georgians, as a pishish to Georgians, and to perpetuate Republican domination. The Negro was elevated and invested with the sacred right of ruler, for which he was then, as well as now, utterly and incongruously, by nature and by the decree of God, as I believe, incapacitated. It is now universally admired that this was a stupendous misdeed and crime against the white race." There was a time when the hills and vales of Georgia would have resounded with acclamations of delight at this rhodomontade. But the Georgia incisions, and doubt-whether Judge Longley knows any more about the decrees of God than the rest of us. They are more interested in the present ownership of the Fleddment Hotel than in the stupendous mistakes of the son more than they do a legion of "flat-nosed grinning cotton-field Negroes." In fact Judge Longley seems to be "utterly and incongruously incapacitated" to diagnose the political situation. He should step down and out, or be superfluous on the stage; cursed by Canaan sermons are supercumulated. WASTING HIS TIME. The Charleston News and Courrier takes the pains to write out in full an elaborate apology to the South, upon the signing of which the President will be forgiven. Mr. Jackson must have himself in sack cloth and ashes and on bended knee say: "I wish to withdraw those statements, to express to the South sorrow for those words written in haste, and to beg that my mistakes and inexcusable rudeness to Mr. Jefferson be removed." We greatly fear that the South Carolina editor wasted his time in writing up that apology. The President is doing all he can to promote the moral and material interests of the South. We must sacrifice his own conscientious convictions at Southern dictation. We have not learned that the News and Courrier has had a word of rebuke for Gov. Vardaman, who accuses the President of violating his oath in the office. He has a divine right to indulge in "inexcusable rudeness." There is a very great and general jubilation over the fact of the defeat of Gorman's "grandfather" amendment, by an adverse majority of nearly 30,000. The Chicago Chronicle states the case failure: "This is graffiting a failure of one attempt out of any to nullify a provision of the national constitution. The real purpose, as everybody knows, was that which has been accomplished in most of the old slave states by the incorporation of substitution the same provision in their constitutions. That purpose is to demonstrate a momentary because of any personal unfitness for the exercise of political rights but because of their race." In the Gorman case, the attempt involved nothing less than forgery for Gorman has repeatedly sworn to uphold that Constitution. He has so sworn to uphold that Constitution and amendments were adopted. Men with such plurable consciences are dangerous—"ftt for treason, stratagems and spoils." The Brunswick, Ga., Union says: "When Rev. Dixon's week, the Clamman, was presented at the Opera House last week, because it was thought the rush of whites to see it would be sufficient to dissuade the African patrons were denied even the Jim Crow accommodations heretofore vouchsafed them and were summarily informed that they would not be admitted as the white folks wanted treel seats, and such ticket as had been sold to them were recalled. Thus admit that we cannot sympathize very much with the "patrons" who were thus eliminated. The Afro-American people are virtu- ally compelled to submit to Jim Crow cars, but what is the use of fighting Jim Crow cars, when Afro-Americans by hundreds flock to Jim Crow seats in the theaters when there is no necessity in the case? "An extreme sensitiveness to the thought of social equality between whites and negroes pervades the white population of the entire South, and the power of the blacks should accept it as a state of feeling that will persist." Thus sayeth the Chicago Record-Herald. But what good would such acceptance do? Simply increase the impudence with which every little Northern institution builts, demand that Northern institution builts, schools, churches and public conveyances should be Jim Crowed to his fool notions. Social equality is perfectly able to regulate itself if allowed to do so. In the recent campaign it was not Democrat and Republican but The People vs. Boole. Thus in Pittsburg, Pa. we learn: "Prominent among the people who rev. forth and worked all day the Rev. Rev. of the Manchester Presbyterian Church. Not only was Rev. Mr. Green left penhil, but the bank's crash, but the funds of his church were swallowed up. The minister went without lunch only. The state administration which had made it possible for one bank carrying state funds to ruin so many people." We are glad to learn that the U. S. Constitution still goes in Georgia. Nay one politician goes so far as to express himself thus: "The fact must be proved that the Smith proposes is clearly unconstitutional. It is practically certain that the time will come when this question of the distranchissement of the negro will come before the supreme court only in States. When it does only one thing can happen, and that is negro distranchissement will be declared unconstitutional." President Roosevelt displayed great manliness when he addressed the students at the Afro-American Baptist Academy at Jacksonville, Fla. The president, who is all that he prevents from him doing so, fled a protest and pawed and snorted. But the address was delivered just the same. Since Pop Tom Pop Tom has adopted Hoke Smith, the hilarity of the Georgia campaign has been immensely influenced by the fact that he has been proclaimed that Hoke Smith appointed Afro-American to office and that Pop Tom once toured the state with an Afro-American Doyle, as co-worker and assistant stump orator. It also appears that Hoke is part owner of the Piedmont bar room. Gov. Davis's defense of lynching was as elaborate and as plausible a one can be made, but with the usual fallacious argument that it was resorted to only in cases of rape. The President's reply utterly demolished the Governor's cobhouse, ground it to powder and blew it away. Gov. Davis is more appeaseable orator, but he was fearfully outdone. --- Gen. Luke Wright, so it is said, is about to withdraw from the Philippines, and it is further asserted that color-prejudice is the cause—the general automaton's social relations with the little brown men." So the general hires homeward to the land of the free and the home of the Jim Crow law. The Portland, Oregon, New Age says, "Governor Jeff Davis of Arkansas is not fit to be governor of a lot of government mules." Well, we admit the old Jeff is a rathough citizen but he certainly compares favorably with Oregon Congressmen. His One Redeeming Trait. He was very rich, and, as is not so unusual as some think, he was successful in love. At last he had found his ideal. She was gay, frivolous and poor, and she loved the *great world* and its ways. Money was an object to her. There are many who do not differ from her very widely. The day he came to see her and he began to grow careless. She did not, because she had always been so. One day they quarreled and she said some things to him that set him to asking questions of his friends. Then he came to see her again. He was in a bad humor. "So," he said, harshly, "you are like most women." "It has been," she replied. He wasn't expecting that answer. "You are like them in loving money." he continued. "Well, and what of it?" she questioned, with scorn. "Everything," he said, smiling. "You are the boss; because I am rich, and are to marry me for my money." It was a home thrust, and the girl blushed and hung her head. "Answer me," he commanded. "Answer me, I say. Would you marry me if I had no money?" The girl's wits returned on the instant. Good gracious, Mr. Cashinland. she exclaimed, "you don't think I'd marry a man without a redeeming trait, do you?" And Mr. C—was sorry he hadn't stopped before he began. Foxy St. Petersburg Criminals. The burglaries and forgers of St. Petersburg have the reputation of being the best educated criminals in the world. Their "obstchestvo, or the capital," receives subscriptions and appallous officers, including a paid secretary. No newspaper is published, but the society maintains a "spravotchnoe bureau" or "information office," which supplies members with facts as to new appliances of crime, the actions of the police and the whereabouts of fellow members. The German frontier understake the German any criminal, however well known his features out of the country. Inference. Grayce—I know something about Mabel. Gladys—What is it? Grace—I will never, never tell. Gladys—O, you know something good about her, eh? DIVIDED WITH THE DEACON CENSUS TAKER IN TROUBLE SOME QVAINT MENV CARDS IN THE GOLDEN TWILIGHT A local condition of things, the very mention of which makes everybody sorry on one side or the other, induced a nice old lady to tell a story which took her back to the days of her childhood in western Vermont. At that time there was a strong "local option" fight going on, and all the church people were arrayed up on the side of not temperance, but total abstinence. Dr. Josiah Hopkins, one of the most famous Congregational preachers of his day, had come among them for a little while, and he said some things about real temperance and personal liberty that shocked the good people of Vermont. Dr. Hopkins happened to know that most of the deacons in the church had wine in their cellars, and that they were all given to "tipping on the quiet," and he did not hesitate to denounce them as rank hypocrites. The father of the elderly lady who told the story himself a deacon in the church, and said "weakness" for the beer that was brewed at a small brewery in the neighborhood. One afternoon he chanced to be walking along the road, when he saw Dr. Hopkins come out of the brewery, place a jug under the seat of his buggy and climb in. The deacon accost him and asked for a ride to town. The deacon was promptly granted. As soon as the horse had resumed its even trot down the road, the deacon said: The census man had passed a weary morning, and when he saw little Mrs. Remick's firm and scornful expression, he realized that his afternoon troubles were beginning. "My husband's initials are A. J." said Mrs. Remick, in response to one of the usual questions. "Just A. J.—that is all. "If the bank people can accept his checks signed in that way, I fail to see why you should care personally to know what his name is. "If it is the government, of course, I can hardly refuse to give you his name, though I consider it very prying on their part to insist. My husbane is a Aaron Jenkins Remick, and if you are going to put that on your records, I will named you to distinctly state that he was for his grandfather, and that it was question of propagation after family troubles. His mother wished to name him Herbert A. Arundel, for a dear friend. "My name is Gertie A. Remick. "You may write it Gertrude if you choose. I never sign it that way. The A. stands for Adams, my maiden name." Designers of menu cards and menu holders, ever quick to derive inspiration from the topic of the moment, dressed cardboard dolls like little Japanese beauties yesterday and set the damsels, in recognition of the new alliance, to support the cards on which dinner menus were inscribed, says the London Mall. Dolls have been very popular of late as menu holders; their cardboard faces are charmingly painted by hand and upon their cardboard bodies paper toiletes are arranged. The cards are pressed into the service of the designer so frequently of late that a new form of it as a menu holder would appear to be an impossibility. But in its latest edition, though only made of cardboard, the automobile is a perfect wonder. "I am old," he assures us with sweetness, As one who retains the best, Undismailed that the years in their fleet Count now in small numbers—the rest. Count now in small numbers—the rest. Our hearts echo every quiet hold To grieve; though he uttered them smilily "Is it now afternoon; I am old." Is he old? Oh, weight of lip phrases, You change into speech of fine gold, When you say of this man, "He is old." You tell of a mind of hid treasure And a heart of pure depths shining Of youth gathered up beyond measure That year has but added to year. A soul of large hidden Heart is shared with his kind Attunement with spirit's grand forces; Unplifted in thought and in feeling; Of Nature an intimate guest- Taking the place of sweetness and sweetness And crowning such souls in their quest Are they old, these lives of rare sweet- In the early nineties, when the famous "Snake line," the Central Massachusetts road, was running independently, one of the most prominent conductors had the following humiliating experience: On leaving the city, when he first came through the train collecting the tickets, an old woman who had barricaded herself in two seats by numberless hardie lined and bundles, and hung a large bird cage from the hook above her head, handed him her ticket, and told him to be sure and tell her when the train reached Wayland. He promised faithfully, and continued taking up the tickets. On his return trip from the rear of the car, the old lady told him again to be sure and not forget to tell her when the train reached Wayland. The conductor promised her again One of the newly rich, John Johnson by name, to establish a sort of literary character, had bought a lot of books, among them a copy of a rare old dictionary. It was somewhat out of repair and he took it to the binder. When finished, he threw the "Johnson's Dictionary" had been stamped on the back. He fell into a furious passion and demanded of the man: "Why didn't you put the full name on—John Johnson's Dictionary?" "Well, parson, you are discovered. I saw you put something suspicious under the seat of the buggy, but I promise not to tell on you if you will divide with me." The eminent divine turned upon him a benignant smile, as he said: "So you have caught me practicing what I preach. I say it is matter for each man's conscience. Now I feel that I am justified in getting that jug from the brewery. I shall not drink a drop of it. I got it for my wife; but if you want a drink, you are welcome you can take from the mouth of the cup. have cup." "Thank you you, the deacon returned. If your wife drinks beer, I am sure you will not tell on me. Let me have the jug when we reach younger clump of trees; that will screen us from view. I will show you how much I can take from the mouth of a jug at one pull," and he reached for the jug. As soon as they reached the clump of trees, the entire road being deserted, he drew out the cork, threw back his head and made ready for a "long strong pull." Suddenly he began to pull the cork, and the torrent of bubbling brewer's yeast spread over his face, his hair and his clothing. It ran down the back of his coat and the front of his shirt; it got into his eyes, his ears and his nose; but the parson comforted him by saying: "I never drink it. I got it for my wife."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "Well, I think my father would like to hear you say I had no legal right to both names! Just as if I stopped being an Adams when I married A. J. It's perfectly absurd! "Mr. Remick's age? Well, really, when he told me that he was so much older, he hardly dared ask me to marry him. I said at once, 'I shall never ask you how old you are,' and I never have. "Any objection to telling my own? Any objec—hardly the point of such a question, sir. A woman who was only 26 on her last birthday does not generally have the least objection to tell it. "There is not any one living with us at present, that is, she goes home home; she has a family of her own. "Of course she isn't here this afternoon—this is Thursday. I suppose in your business all afternoons are alike. "Do I vote? Do I vote? Really, I shall have to ask you to go. Mr. Remick said he hoped the next time any one came and tried to talk to him, he would say that per son to him. I will bid him good after noon." -Youth's Companion It is beautifully modeled and the wheels run smoothly over the cloth. The menu is inscribed on the roof of the car and the whole equipage is trundled from guest to guest bearing its message aloft so that only two cars are required for one table. Rose petals, though made of paper, so like the garden flower picked to pieces that the eye is at first completely deceived, are used both for the menu and for place inscriptions; and lily petals, still more ethereal, are employed in like manner. For feasts that comprise oysters and other shellfish, there are shell menu cards, which in many cases are not cards at all, but beautifully polished shells with mother-of-pearl linings, upon which details concerning the different courses are written.

The cheer and uplift of his smile. and went his way. On each successive trip through the train that he made the old lady made him promise anew, until his patience was wellnigh exhausted. Imagine his consternation on finding the train nearly a mile beyond Wayland, and remembering the old lady for the first time. He quickly stopped the train, and, hastening forward to the engineer, explained that they must back the train into Wayland for her, or she could make them a good deal of trouble. And this man had ben performed he hastened back to the old lady, and, said in his blainsdent tone: "Madam, this is your station—Wayland." "Oh, thank you," she replied, taking down the bird cage, "my sister told me to be sure and feed the bird at Wayland!" High Society. He had just returned from a continental trip and was telling his adventures. "And above all," he said, "I actually had the distinguished honor of playing whist with a king." "Mmmm," he overcoat had listened inance up to this point, and now his curled scornfully he replied: "That's nothing; I once played with four kings." "Really?" "Yes. Four kings and an ace."

ITALIANS KILL SINGING BIRDS. Goldfinches, Bluejays and Bats Shot and Sold in the Market. The olive trees around Lucca are not nearly so old or so grilled: cooking as those familiar to visitors on the Riviera, probably because, owing to the proximity of the mountains, the climate in which they grow is more temperate. There would be a great many beautiful singing birds in the groves and mountain sides around Lucca were it not for the passion which the Tuscan contadini have for la cacacia—the chase. The sport they indulge in all day long is shooting at goldfinches and linnets and other little birds, all of which are sold and eaten. In the markets at Lucca I have seen jays for sale. Upon my expressing a doubt as to their succulence I was as assured that they were excellent—when boiled. There is apparently no rule in Tuscany as to not shooting on the high roads. Indeed, on every mile or two of roadway you will probably meet at least one cacicator with a gun upon his shoulder. They will fire at anything, even a bat. I, myself, saw my friend's cook. Tito by name, shoot a bat on the high road. He said if he could only get enough of them they would make a good pie. Ye god! bat pie and bollied jay—what a dinner!—Chambers' Journal. Sylvanus Cobb's Hens and Corn. In the early forties there lived in Waltham, Mass., a noted Universallist minister, Sylvanus Cobb, widely known for his ready wit. He kept hens, and he was not particular where they roamed. A certain neighbor was much annoyed by the frequent visits of these hens, and one day, after he had observed them and catching up with new planted corn, he complained to Mr. Cobb. The clerk man listened to the tale, and then slowly gave reply: "I did not know that corn would hurt hens." The neighbor was so taken aback by this answer to his complaint that he had not a word to say, and quietly withdrew, rummating on what he 'had just heard, with the result that, on arriving home, he 'placed a good charge of powder in his shotgun and on top a handful of corn. He had not long to wait for the return of the minister's hens, when he killed, hilled, and Ying the legs together, he carried the dead fowl to the minister's door, with placard attached: "Not long ago you said that you did not know that corn would hurt hens, but here are two of yours that have been killed by corn." Why. Indeed? Nice Old Lady Visitor—And remember, Sissy, it is age that improves and perfects one!

CHANGE MADE MATTERS WORSE. Woman Tells of Troubles With Her Hawaiian Servants. "Hawaiian servants," said a brown woman, "are the best—the best in the world, but they are strangely unphisticated, strangely naive. "Hawaiian servants insist on calling you by your first name. Ours were always saying to my husband, Yes, John, or 'All right, John,' and to me, 'Very well, Ann,' or 'Ann, I am going out.' "At last I got tired of this and to John, when we got a new cook, I said. "Don't ever call me by my first name in this new cook's presence. Then, perhaps, not knowing my name, he'll have to say 'Mri' to me. "So John was very careful always to address me as 'Dearie,' or 'Sweet-heart,' but the new cook, a watchful chap, gave me no title at all. "One day we had some company, some English officers. I told them how I had overcome, in my new cook's case, the native servants' horrid abuse of their employers' Christian names, and I said, 'By this servant, at least, you won't hear me just then the new cook entered the room. He bowed to me respectfully and said: 'Sweetheart, dinner is served.' "What? I stammered. "Dinner is served, dearie, answered the new cook,"-New York Herald. That which is stolen by the tongue cannot be restored by taffy. Nothing blinds the soul quicker than winking at sin. A Helping Hand. One very slippery day mark Twain, in his great sealinkin overcoat, was walking down Maline street, in Hart-Oort. A portly citizen, whom he knew by a sight, fell just in front of him with a side-rendering thud. Looking calmly down, with that shadowy smile which only stirred his heavy mustache, Mark Twain drewled: "You's have to hit it again, and a little harder. Then I think you'll break through." All appreciation of humor had been so well shaken out of the fat man that with a purple face he told Mr. Clemens to go where there is always a successful corner on ice and snow. Mark Twain stuffed his hands deep into the sealinkin pocket after his fashion, hung his head pathetically on one side in his inimitable way, and wiped his face. "That is the very last time that I'll try to encourage a man to get up when he is down on ice."—Saturday Evening Post. Healthy Place to Live St. Vincent de Tyrrosse, a French village with a population of some five hundred people, must be a healthy place to live, if the old age of its inhabitants is any criterion. On a single day recently no less than five couples of the village celebrated their golden wedding together. The five couples have a combined age of 765 years, and are named Darcant, Fabes, Latalide, Fortatab and Constets. A sixth couple in the village only lacked a few months, of being able to join in the celebration. All of the parties concerned are agricultural laborers, and they are all in good health, and every day finds them at their usual tasks. Big Power Stations. The three great power stations now being built on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls will have an aggregate output of 285,000 horsepower. Ultimately one of the companies, the Ontario, will add to its output so as to bring the total to 405,000 horsepower. It is estimated that the grand total of the world's present hydro-electric power is the 1,483,000 horsepower, of which the Canadian station will represent more than 27 per cent. Slight Difference. "There goes a successful author." "Great genius, eh?" "No. I didn't say he was a genius; I merely said he was a success." MARRIAGE ON WANE IN BRITAIN Rate in Proportion to Community Fallen in Alarmingly Low Point. The figures of the decline in Great Britain's birth rate, which aroused such serious misgivings, have now been supplemented by similar statistics which would seem to point to the popularity of marriage being on the decline. The year 1903 was marked by a heavy slump in matrimony, says a London cable to the New York Herald. Not only was there a decrease in the number of marriages as compared with the previous year, a phenomenon which has manifested itself continue-ly in 1898, but the rate of marriages, based on a manageable proportion of the community, is the lowest for more than twenty years. One of the most striking points about the return is the evidence it seems to give that the famous advice of Mr. Weller, Sr., to "beware of the viders" has taken firm root in this country. The number of remarriages among widows has been declining steadily for nearly thirty years and in 1903 only 65.8 in every 1,000 widows were called to take leave for the second or third time, as against 98 in the 1894-1890. One paper in commenting on this fact suggests that this is strong presumptive evidence of the firm hold which "Pickwick" has taken on the public mind. Expert Japanese Smokers. According to accounts the Japanese are experts in smoke rings and in Japan it is considered no uncommon trick to blow three rings of smoke in succession, the second traveling through the first and third through both. Some stage performers become so expert in smoke-blowing that they are not only able to multiply the number of rings thus formed, but actually form Japanese characters representing words and even sentences. One Japanese juggler, it is declared, proposed to his wife by forming the characters representing his avowal of love through a thin stream of smoke. Surely Not in Boston. Henry James, the novelist, narrated at a Boston dinner party a conversation that he had overheard that afternoon. "It was a conversation," said Mr. James, "between a young book clerk and an older one. It occurred in a book shop devoted to the sale of the most popular and newest fiction. "The younger clerk approached the older anxiously. "Say," he whispered, "there's a woman here wants Spencer's poems." "It Is Herbert Spencer's poems" the more experienced clerk asked calmly. "Yes," said the other. "What shall I tell her? "Tell her we haven't 'em,' said the older clerk." "Here is one of the fins where Gareth goes. "You don't say! What has come of the ancient sign, 'Accommodation to Man and Beast?' "They've taken it down and put up an accommodation to Man and Automobile." Miss Ascum—Just back from Palm Beach, eah. Miss Bragg—Yes, and oh, you'd never dream all the proposals I had there. Miss Ascum—No; but I suppose that's the way they came to you—Philadelphia Press. THE M. A.

Known Instances of Dogs Enjoying Their Smoke Much as Does a Man Addicted to the Habit—Parrot That Was Fond of Chewing Tobacco. Most animals have an utter abhorrence of tobacco in any shape or form, says the proprietor of a menagerie. I have myself made even a really ferocious dog turn tail simply by puffing smoke in its face, but I do not recommend the means as one to be always relied on. But to this rule, as to all others, there are exceptions, and numerous instances are known of animals possessing a positive love for the fragrant weed. Dogs, it is well known, can be taught to do almost everything but talk, and in my early days I was connected with a circus which possessed the unique attraction of a terrier which, among other tricks, had been instructed in the art of smoking a clay pipe. The curious point was that the animal actually got to enjoy its pipe and would insist on having it at the usual time every Sunday, as in the performance on week days. The parrot is perhaps of all birds the most apt to take up bad habits. A friend of mine has one which is passionately fond of eating and chewing tobacco. If given a sufficient quantity the bird will make itself positively drunk with the nicotine, and will stagger about its cage in exact imitation of the actions of an intoxicated human being. Long practice has made the bird somewhat of a connoisseur respecting its favorite luxury, and it now treats fine cut tobacco with contempt. Its particular delight is the rum-soaked plug affected by sailors. It is among the simian tribes that tobacco-loving quadrupeds are most frequent. This is probably owing to the monkey's overpowering faculty for imitation, which sometimes gets it into trouble. I remember an amusing instance. A marr after puffing at a cigarette for a time threw it down near a monkey which had been watching the proceedings intently. The animal snatched it up and puffed gravely for a few minutes. Then a look of intense bewilderment stole over its face, and throwing the cigarette down, it retired into a corner, evidently very ill. A gentleman in the north of England has a monkey which is addicted to snuff. The animal has been taught to take a pinch from the box of a visitor with all the courtly air so prevalent in the days when snuff taking was the fashion—Tit-Bits. Earliest Typesetting Machines Earliest Typesetting Machines. In answer to the query, "How old are typesetting machines?" the London Chronicle prints an extract from a copy of the local Herald of 1822: "Dr. Church is now at Birmingham preparing his new printing machine. The compositor has only to sit down at this curious mechanism as he would at a planoforte, and as he strikes the keys the typos all fall from the case into their proper places with a velocity that keeps pace with the most rapid speaker. The form having been worked off, the type moves into the melting pot, from which it is returned, recast into its original state, without any diminution of material, and thence distributed into the case quite new. One of these machines placed at the bar of the house of commons would always insure a correct report of the debate. Dr. Church, the inventor, is a native of Boston, in New England." Justin McCarthy In Retirement. Justin McCarthy in Retirement. Since retiring from politics some seven or eight years ago Justin McCarthy has made his home at Westgate-on-Sea, on the Kentish coast. Working laureably in his beautiful home called Herdholt, he has finished his great "History of Our Own Times." A friend who has recently seen him says of the gifted historian: "Where can you find so charming a talker, one who has seen so much, knows so much, met so many famous people and who by a word or a phrase can make the past live, laugh and cry again?" The years since he left politics have been kind to Mr. McCarthy His outlook is the bright outlook of youth and his health is perfect. His single burden is a weakened eyesight which does not permit him to read, but, as he says, means the pleasure of being read to by others. His daughter, Miss Charlotte McCarthy, is his constant companion. Somewhat Different. The scanty-haired bachelor at the pedal extremity of the mahogany was sawing away at his steak. "You remind me of a picture I once saw," remarked the ribbon counter clerk. "It was entitled 'An Imitation of a Man at Work.'" "You've turned to the wrong page in the art catalogue, young man," growled the old bachelor. "The picture I represent is a war chromo entitled 'The Battle of Bull Run.'" Gen. Booth Works Hard. Gen. Booth of the Salvation Army, who is in his 77th year, is back in London after a tour of 34,400 miles. Here is his record in England and Scotland: Period of travel, five weeks and four days; towns visited, 121; addresses averaging one hour and twenty minutes, 95; shorter addresses, 28; sinners at penitent form, 200; people addressed, 250,000. Weather Office Errors Fifteen per cent, of error, says Chief Willis L. Moore, is the record of the weather bureau. Not only is this proportion lower than in any foreign bureau, but in ten years not a criticism of its work has come from any commercial, maritime or scientific organization. Italian King Gives Prizes. Prizes amounting to $8,000, offered by the king of Italy to exhibitors at the Milan exhibition next year, include one of $2,000 for the best type of popular dwelling house adapted to the climate of northern Italy, and one of $1,000 for motor boats. NATIVE NEW YORKERS SCARCE. About One Out of Every Ten in the City Population. Now that thirty "emergency" census takers finished the tail end of their work a few days ago we may soon have light on an interesting question that this enumeration will throw some light upon. Out of Gotham's 4,000,000 souls how many are actual New Yorkers—persons born in this city? Taking the last federal census as a criterion there is about one "native born" New Yorker out of every ten in population. Still, even this small balm to Knickerbocker families—390,000—persons—has to be greatly reduced, for in it is included every person of whom no actual knowledge could be obtained of whom the haste of the census tempted to throw under this general heading. Amateur statisticians have decided that there are about 120,000 citizens of New York who have been born of parents natives of this country. These delivers in the census results are of the opinion that if the qualification were that both their parents were natives of this country not more than 5,000 persons could qualify as New Yorkers of the second American generation. Children of parents who were born abroad numbered 1,375,000 in the last federal census. There were then more than 400,000 Americans here who were born in other states, New York state leading with a contribution of 125,000 and New Jersey following with 56,000; 36,000 were born in Pennsylvania, 25,000 in Massachusetts, while 22,000—a comparatively large number—were born in Virginia. Therefore the descendants of the Knickerbockers are wolfly outnumbered in population if not in money and real estate. MONSTER GORILLA OF AFRICA. Huge Animal Believed to Belong to an Unknown Species. Interesting information regarding huge gorillas of hitherto unknown species has been obtained by Eugene Brusseluse, a French official and explorer from northern Africa. One of these strange monsters was shot by one of the official's sharp shooters. The animal measured 7 feet 6 inches in height, was 4 feet in width across the shoulders and weighed 720 pounds. One of the hands, when dismembered, weighed, six pounds. It required the united efforts of eight native soldiers to drag the dead body of the beast from the point where it was killed to the French residency at Quessou, the administrative center of central Sangha. The animal was here skinned and buried. Reports have been received at this station frequently during the last few months of the presence of these big creatures in the upper valleys of Lonani and Sangereh, but hitherto it had been impossible to come to close quarters with them. According to native reports, however, the animals are usually ferrocious, not hesitating to attack caravans during their passage through the country. These gorillas differ essentially from others. The cars are small, the shoulders and thighs are covered with dense and long black hair, while the chest and stomach are almost bare. It is believed that they belong to a species that has not heretofore been seen by white men. Time. Time a thief? No, never! Time's an honest wight. Gracious, tender, clever.

Whitebait Are Really Baby Fish. Whitebait, named rogenia alba by Valenciennes, the French naturalist, who held that it is a distinct genus of the herring family, was regarded by later authorities as merely the fry of the herring. It seems now, however, to be established that the fry of all the British clupeidae the pilchard, the sprat, and the shad—and probably other small fry, are taken and used under the name whitebait. These delicate and silvery baby fish are taken in great abundance in spring and summer in the estuary of the Thames. They are caught in bag nets, which are sunk four or five feet below the surface of the water, and usually measure from an inch to three inches in length. A sample of whitebait has been tested by development in an aquarium, proving that they are fry of several sorts of fish. "Cy" Silloway Would Dig 'Em Up. "Cy" Silloway, the tall New Hampshire congressman, was visiting a friend who was making extensive improvements on his estate in Dover, when the following incident occurred: There was a scarcity of sand and loam, which was needed to fill in an excavation, and his host asked the congressman: "What shall I use to fill that hole?" "Oh, if you haven't the dirt, fill in with some of these diggers, and cover them deep," answered "Cy." "Yes," spoke up one of the diggers, "an', begorra, nixt election time you'll be 'round diggin' us up." Stupid Jeweler Miss Inez Entz—Yes. Mr. Fickle proposed last night and we're engaged, now. I'm so happy; and I'm the first girl George ever loved, too. Miss Wise—Yes? I don't notice your ring. Didn't he give you one? Miss Inez Entz—Yes, but, you see, he had to take it back to have it fixed. The stupid jeweler made the inscription read, "George to Genevieve" instead of "George to Inez."—Catholic Standard and Times. A CALL VENTILATION LIGHT THE KNAP W. P. O.
