Cunning in Ohio.

from the C1nclnnatl Enquirer.
Zone of the funny things man sees when he
hasn't gun" is a Columbus dispatch to the
Cleveland Herald giving an 'interview" with
some unnamed person, who says that Judge
Thurman has received letter from Daniel Man.
ming substantially assuring him of cabinet
position If he will accept; that the Judge has
written that he could not, under the present
condition Of the party in Ohio, accept place in
the cabinet" and that .'it seems to be unwise
and inadvisable to select any Ohio man for a
cabinet position, as such selection would,
naturally widen the breach. from the fact that
1t must necessarily be made from the ranks of
one or the other Of the factions of the state"
The man who gave out this alleged information
should not have hesitated to give his name for
publication. He could have commanded
large salary as q curiosity in q dime
museum. Judge Thurman has grown
aged in democracy, and has received many hon.
Ors from his party in Ohio. 1t is not likely that
he would write such letter; and even il he had
written it, it is not probable he would peddle it
out to some one-horse politician seeking an OPP
portunity to drill 1t into q reporter. Perhaps
still funner phase of the dispatch is the sapient
suspicion of the reporter that the offer was not
made till Manning had the assurance that It
would not be accepted; that it was all q beauti-
quite amusing. too, to hear that there is q
schism in the democracy Of Ohio. Bless u.s.
haven't the .'Old Romaners' at Columbus re-
solved to heartily zine in with the 'kids" in
celebrating the virtues and patriotism OF st.
Jackson on the Sth Of January? It seems highly
probable that cabinet speculation viii supplant

A SEA SERPENT KILLED.
The Marvellous Adventure OF a Whalfna
Crew In the Arctic.

The San Francisco Chronicle makes the follow
Ing report Of strange adventure to boats
crew from the whaling bark Alaska in the Arc
tic ocean. The story told by the first officer,
George johnson, is to the following effect: "On
the 10th of last October, when the vessel was 46
miles south of Alaska, an object was perceived
In the distance, whose proportions and shape
Indicated 1t to be monster sea lion. boat
was Immediately lowered and placed in charge
Of First Officer johnson and five Of the crew,
named Andrew Nelson. William Wilson, Antoine
Nfaga, George Marshfield and Hans Stuten. As
the distance was being decreased between the
bark and the huge animal, they became con-
WINGED that 1t was the famed sea serpent When
they came within few hundred yards the mon
ster made dash for the boat, striking out it's
immense tail against the craft. Several Of the
occupants were precipitated into the water, but
were rescued with difficulty. harpoon and
lance were fired into the body of the beast, and
it disappeared beneath the surface. Half an hour
later 1t reappeared. floating on the water. dead.
1t was secured with ropes and lowed to the
vessel and hoisted on the deck. There the CAP
ture was seen to be a Misunderstanding thing.

NEarly EngIish,' i'm Manners.

Some Americans have the fault of adopting
customs that they call EngIish-most things
that are outre now are called English. it seems
and which are decidedly ill-bred and vulgar,
and are anything but an honor to England or to
any other nation to which they might be as
cribed. And one of the gravest Of these is not
to introduce people when they meet in the
same drawing-roOm as guests of the same
hostess. To fail to do so decides the hostess to
be snob, and snob has no largeness of heart
and brain, and no assurance certainly. OF her
own position. l say hostess. for men are never
so absurd and if they did act in this way they
would mean to be insulting and to give posi-

women who indulge in this practice regard
themselves a ultra fashionists, when In reality
they are ultra under bred, and it is pity they

Origin OF the National Museum.

From an illustrated article by Ernest Inger-
soil. in the January Century. we quote the fol-
lowing: I'm no single respect, perhaps, has the
progress OF the American capital been more
striking than in the history Of the National Mu-
scum. Originating in quantity OF 'curiosi-
ties which had been given to the United States
by foreign powers, or sent home by consuls and
naval officers, old visitors to Washington re-
member 1t as heterogeneous cabinet in the
Patent office. It included such diverse objects
as the femur Of Missouri mastodon, Washing
tons knee-breeches, and the oriental spoils OF
the Wilkes expedition around the world. In
1916 step was taken toward something cohe-
rent and creditable, by an act Of Congress es-
tablishing National Museum, following the
precedent Of dozen or more other nations;
but this intention took effect very slowly,
though various exploring expeditions and em-
bassies largely increased the bnlk Of the cOllec-
tiOns. When the inventive faculty Of this Yam
kee race had crowded the Patent Office with
models, the cabinet Of curiosities' was trundled
over to the Smithsonian Institution"
