OratOry on Inanimate Objects.

A law student is reported to have
been laughed out of Lafayette, Ind,
because detected in the act of airing
his eloquence to his fathers wood-pile.
AS if there was anything to be ashamed
of in this sort of practice, OF a man
could be perfect in any gift without
exercising it. Henry NJ. Brackenbride,
in his very interesting" Recollections,"
mentions the fact that when he first
came to the bar in Baltimore. in 1908
and succeeding years, it was his GUS
tom to cross over to MILESTONE
Point" (the busiest part of Locust
Point to-day, and there exercise him
self in defamation under the shelter of
some tall hedgerows. One day, as he
was entering his bosky dell. he found
some one speaking in advance of him,
and, approaching with precaution,
found the great William Pinkney re-
hearsing with care every point, sen.
tence and gesture of speech which,
next day, he delivered in court as i'm
prOmptu. Pinkney was at this time
in the zenith of his fame-the onIy
American lawyer with an European
reputation-and he owed his great dis.
tinction to his assiduous labor and
practice.-Baltimcre american.

Romance of a Founding.

A Paris letter says: The latest bit
of sensational news recorded by the
Partisan newspapers concerns found
ling. Everybody is asking who left
that smiling infant where the head
cook of the Marquise de Tamisier
found it. The noble lady had gone to
dinner party, so that the cook had
his evening to himself, and took adj
vantage of it to smoke post-prandial
cigar in the leafy solitudes near the
lake in the Bolougne wood. Suddenly,
while wandering along the Alec DIES
Acacias, he heard a noise. Drawing
from his pocket long knife, he
plunged into the leafy solitude,
regardless of consequences. The fur
ther he penetrated the louder
was heard the noise; he passed
on, and finally, in one of the
thickest of the thickets, at about 100
yards from the Chinese pavilion, he
came upon the vocalist, and the knife
dropped from his manly grasp as he
perceived in cradle covered with
costly lace, the smiling cherub. How
he took in all the details at first sight,
without the aid of a lantern, and there
being no gas turned on in the neigh
boring Chinese pavilion, 1 cannot tell,
but it seems that he did, for he de-
clares that the creature smiled upon
him with confiding sweetness. His
heart was quite overwhelmed with Joy
as he picked up the baby, but what
must have been his feelings when he
afterward opened and read the con-
tents of a sealed envelope lying be-
meath the pillow. Whoever you may
be that finds this child" said the let
ter, "bring it up tenderly, and in the
path of duty, and not only will
you be rewarded by your cons cience,
but practically. Never will 1 aban-
don you. l shall watch over
you as you watch over her, and
when she has attained her majority
you will receive a fortune. Then, if
God and men permit, 1 will reveal my
identity; meanwhile, to cover your
expenses, leave under the lace of her
cradle package of bank notes to the
value of 1900 francs" Upon this
Nine de Transfers head cook went
home, carrying the child with him; a
nurse was found, and the little wai1
was then and there adopted, with the
authorization of the magistrate round
the corner, to whom the touching
story was related. Is the tale true I
That 1 cannot say, at least so far as
regards what may happen in the
way of future remittances; but one
thing is certain, deserted baby was
found in Boulogne wood, and with that
baby was found $4,000 francs, where
fore l ask if it be likely that any one
would be willing to pay $4,000 for the
mere amusement of playing off hoax

Clothing and Climate.

We are caught by cold wave while
thinly dressed, and a violent cold is the
consequence, or we go out on cool
morning warmly dressed, and the sun
suddenly blazes out and we are carried
to the hospital overcome with heat. ="
The effort to adapt our clothing to
meet the exigencies oi he climate is
constantly made by thousands, not to
say millions, of our people; but it as
constantly proves to be failure. We
cannot adapt our daily clothing to the
possible freaks of the weather, and it
is with full knowledge of this fact
that Professor Barstow, of Chicago,
has adopted the opposite process, and
now recommends people to wear the
same clothing all the year round, and
to let the weather suit itself to the
clothing.
This pan is the result of careful in
vestigations made by the professor
upon himself and extending through
out an entire year. He found that on
ninety-two days when he ha put on
thin clothing in the expectation of a
warm day the weather had turned out
to be cold; that 131 times he had put
on warm clothes in expectation of a
cold day, and had been terribly OPP
pressed by the heat. On the other
hand, he found that while wearing the
same clothes day after day the weather
conceded with them SOL times, leaving
but sixty days in the entire year in
which he was unsuitably dressed.
He therefore claims to have demon
strated that it is better to let the eli
mate adapt itself to ones clothes than
it is to try to adapt ones clothes to the
climate. The same great truth is APP
piled by Professor Barstow to the UNI
brella. He carries an umbrella every
day in the year, and is called upon to
use it on ninety-three days in that
period. Whereas, when he followed
the rule of carrying an umbrella only
when he thought it was going to rain
he was caught sixty-four times with
out an umbrella in transforms, and
carried it on 212 days that turned out
to be fair
The professors advice is that we
should wear heavy flannel under
clothes and light upper clothes from
one years end to the other. OF course,
there will be few days when the man
who dresses in this way will be rather
cold, and few other days when he
will be intentionally warm He will
however, find that the weather will
coincide with his clothing at least
three times as often as the wisest
meteorologist can possibly induce his
clothing to coincide with the weather

Or. s. A. baltimore, at his residence on

NO "PARLoR BEAU.

says: mo 'parlor beau need ever

after a girl is compelled to bend her

that a "parlor beau" is that selfish,
egotistical individual who, being a

as he wants, and thinks himself suffi-

Constructive Statesmanship.

Vermont presents fine field for an ex-
ecutive with genius for reconstruction.
The state stands in need of material
resuscitation. Some future census should
show that she has made a substantial
gain in population and resources and is
permanently in line among the progressive
states. BY neglecting to supply counter in
ducements to her people to stay at home,
the state has indirectly contributed to the
powerful stimulus the West has given to
emigration. In business matters enter
prising men meet encroaching competi-
tion with counter expedients. The United
States found itself unable to compete
with Europe in industrial pursuits.
Craftsmanship bridged with the tariff the
chasm between domestic and foreign in
dustry. New York built the Erie canal
to bring to her chief city the com.
MERGE of the great lakes and rivers which
might otherwise have been diverted down
the Mississippi. Massachusetts tunneled
the Hoosic mountains to save her COM
merce from destruction by rivals more
favorably situated. Other states have I'M
dertaken great enterprises to develop their
resources, or to protect themselves from
! the encroachment of rivals. Vermont has

HE power behind the victory In Brook-
yn is club of about thousand young
republicans, honorable, progressive, deter
mined men. Two years ago this organiza-
ton brought out Mayor Low, and it has
twice contributed to his election against
one of the most powerful and unscrupu-
lous political rings in the country. They
have shown the power of legitimate, hon
est and sensible methods in the hand Of
alert, earnest citizens in reforming politics,
as against the achievements of profess
sional politicians. They have appealed to
reason and have supported their appeal by
a direct, personal, unpaid propagandism
among the voters of the city, and on cleo
ton day by work in protecting the polls
and in other proper and necessary ways.
Their example might proftably be fol-
lowed by the young men in other commu-
mites. The young men of Vermont, ener-
getic, progressive, proud of their state
and ambitious for better things for her,
might, if they would assert their power,
do something to break up the "cut and
dried" custom of disposing of the Offices
of the state, custom which breeds weak
ness and results in retrogression when
there should be strength and progress.
