Garfield ana Hale Feeling tho Pinch
of the Shoe.

Messrs. Garfield and Hale and other
republican members of the house pro-
fessed to be anxious to make a thorough
investigation of the election frauds
And they oppose the Potter resolutions
because they did not go far enough and
include all the alleged cases of fraud in
the last presidential election. They
pretended to want to amend Mr.. Pot,
ter's resolution so as to include Oregon,
and Arkansas, and New York within
the scope Of congressional inquiry. Mr..
Potter and other democrats opposed
these proposed amendments not be-
cause they were averse to the most exi
tended and thorough investigation, but
because they looked on the proposed
amendments as tricks devised by the
republicans to head off all investigation
or make it Intellectual.

Some Hope that He will get Along,

Lampasas Dispatch We will be sorry
for Governor Hubbard when the picnic,
ing season is over. He certainly is a
splendid success in tina. line, and has
done full justice to such occasions for
the last month. The arduous labors re
sulting from the great amount ofcrime
and lawlessness occurring during the
picnic season will be onerous and dull
to him. We know of nothing except
the fourth of July celebrations which
will afford him proper theme until
the arrival of the many fairs to come off
in the fall, when his especial greatness
will be extensively felt and seen. The
granting of pardons is small matter
which can be done without trouble or
Investigation.

SnnEnht and Health.

Sunlight, says the Cottage Hearth, is
even more necessary to health IN sum-
mer than in winter, for one among other
reasons. that disinfectants of all sorts
are more necessary in summer than in
winter. The rays of heat quicken the
vital powers, the chemical rays exert
their mysterious and potent influence,
and the illuminating rays independently
of the others, as has been recently
proved by Mr.. Crooke to the satisfaction
of the ablest scientists, communicate
motion. The exhalations from our
bodies in warm weather are more copi-
Gus than they are in cold weather, and
If we shut out the light from our houses
we remove the most efficient of all
agents in destroying what is unwhole-
sOme. The noxious vapors which free
admission of air and light would re-
move, are absorbed by carpets and up
holstery, and become productive OF dis
ease. Those who are accustomed to the
darkness and dampness of close rooms
may not consciously suffer therefrom,
but that they sustain real injury is evi-
dent in their pallid faces, their tiacGld
muscles, and nerveiess movements. Inc
contrast between them and those whose
lives pass in the open air is too evident
TO need comment. 1t may not De nee
essary to expose during the day every
room in the house to the direct rays OF
tbe sun. but there should be frequent
onening of doors and windows, 50 that
he solar beam may perform its benef-
cent office. Bedrooms and other rooms
in constant use should receive most care
f1l attention in this respect. Sick rooms
especially require thorough summing and
ventilation, and if possible, should
always have southern aspect. More
patients die on the north side of hos
pitals than on the south side there are
more deaths on the shady side of any
street than on the sunny side. A nota-
BILE southern housekeeper, observing
strictly the following rule during the
summer months, kept her house per-
fectly sweet and cool and dry from May
to October: Until ten o'clock in the
morning all the doors and windows were
opened wider then they were closed
until four in the afternoon then opened
again till nightfall. This rate might not
do for all localities, but such a use of it
as would secure free access Of light and
air to every part Of the house at least
once day could but be productive Of
good results,

Instinct in Birds.

No subject connected with the history
Of birds furnishes more interesting
material for study than that of instinct
Young birds of different species show
that they have very different degrees of
instructive knowledge. Some are able
to take the entire care of themselves,
and do not need a mother to watch over
them; others, on the contrary, are per-
fectly helpless, and need teaching before
they can do anything for themselves ex-
cept breathe, and swallow what Is put
into their mouths. The young chicken,
a short time after it leaves the egg,
knows how 10 take care of itself nearly
as well as does the year-old bird. 1t can
run after its mother, use its eyes, pick
up food, and answer the call of the old
hen; and it does all this without instruc-
tiOn. How different it is in all these
respects from the young barn-swallow
This is blind, and unable to run, or even
to stand, knowing only enough to open
its mouth when it hears the old bird re-
turn to the nest, and to swallow the
food placed in its open bill. Far from
knowing by instinct how to use its wings,
as the young chick does its legs, it does
not learn this until it is well grown, and
has had several lessons in flying; and
even then it flies badly, and improves
only after long practice. After it has
learned to fly, it is still very helpless and
baby-ike, and very different from the
active, bright-eyed, independent little
chick of the barn-yard,- d,-and, indeed,
the young of all the Rasores or scratch
ing birds, such as the hen, the quail, the
partridge, the pheasant and the turkey.
The scratching birds are not the only
ones which can take care of themselves
at an early age. This is true of the run
ming birds, such as the ostrich and the
same is the case with many of the wad-
ing birds, such as the woodcock; and
among the swimming birds, there are
several kinds that take full care of
themselves soon after leaving the shell.
Far from standing in any need of in
struction, young ducks take to the water
by instinct, even when they have been
brought up by hen; and they know
that they are perfectly safe upon it,
although the anxious hen tries in every
way TO restrain them and to call them
back.
There are many ways in which some
Of our young birds show their really
wonderful instincts, but there is moth
ing more curious in this respect than
the habits of the little chickens, which
most of us have opportunities of MOTTO
ing-if we choose TO take the trouble.
These little creatures, almost as soon as
they are born, understand what their
mother "clucks" to them; they know
that they must hide when a hawk is
about; they often scratch the ground
for food before they see their mother or
any other chicken do SO theV are care
and they show their early smartness in
many ways which are well worth watch
ing.

Assassination q Pnrrnt

A parrot has been assassinated in San
Francisco. A faro banker named Farv
does business by night and sleeps by
day. His lodging place is the upper
floor of a three story house near the
city hall. A fortnight ago a family
moved into apartments on lower floor.
The gambler lost his sleep, for the new
dodgers had a parrot of unusual hngual
abilities, and each morning it was placed
out on a porch in the rear Immediately
under his bedroom window, and woke
him up and kept him awake with the
ceaSeless and senseless chatter and its
domaniac laughter. He stood this until
he had vainly hurled at it $3.50 worth
of boot jacks, shoes, spittoons, tobacco
boxes and empty soda bottles redolent
of gin, by which time he concluded he
must do something effective to abate the
nuisance. Being an ardent trout-hsher,
he fitted his beautiful fishing rod to-
gether, reeled out three stories of line,
and having adjusted very taking and
highly-colOred Mayfly as the proper
bait for the season, went whipping
through the window for his enemy.
The device was eminently successful.
The parrot made a dab at the deeeitful
fly, and with an artistic switch the fish
eTman fastened the barbed hook in his
gullet and reeled in his fluttering and
screeching prize. Releasing the hook
he twisted the birds head three times
in one direction and its body five times
in another and then insultingly dropped
the corpse into the porch below. But
his crime had been witnessed, and he
was subsequently arrested, but was tri-
umphantly acquitted.

Tha cLothas-Lina Kuisnnce.

Come, now, what internal barbarity
is this-leaYing clothes-line out after
dark! A great deal of funny comment
has been made upon the custom by
thoughtless people, but it is a most
serious matter, and it is high time the
tomfoolery was abolished. We are Just
as ready as anybody to see the funny
side of thing, but we have ceased to
observe anything amusing in being un-
expectedly sawed across the face by
clothes-line. 1t is time there was
legislative enactment to either hang
elothes-lines sixty feet above the earth,
or make the leaving them out over
nightfall a state-prison Otfense. 1t Is a
most incomprehensible fact a clothes
line is always hung across the garden
path. If the ward was ten miles square
and a path two feet wide crept along
close to the fence, and the woman had
but eiplPt feet of line, she would manage
TO cover the path. Whether this IS be
cause she is perverse, or cannot help It.
we do not know. We only know that IL
is SO. and that it is an appalling evil.
No home circle is safe where the custom
prevails. It matters not how good ma
tnred man is, it matters not how care
f1Ily he has been educated, it matters
not how lofty and noble are his aspira-
tions-the moment clothes-line catches
him under the chin, especially if hethas
a nan of ashes under his arms, that
moment he sinks with awful velocity to
the level of brute, and proceeds to act
out the conditions thereof at once. In
its proper place a clothes-line is a
valuable companion, but across a path
after dark it is simply brutalizing force.
