The Clowns Death 1Iasl.

Kalpistri, who committed suicide in
Paris the other day, was pupil of De-
bureau, the greatest pantomimist that
ever appeared upon the French stage.
Kalpistri's great character was the Pier
rot, or white faced clown of French pam
tomime. Nobody knows what that
whitened face really MEANS" he told .
French journalist one day. "It is death,
whose pale face reflects the emotions
more quickly and completely than the
living. The slightest wrinkle or
contraction of the features
has q world of meaning.
Thamost trifling change in the DISPOSE
ton of dead mans features has q more
poignant Specification than the most
violent grimace of the living. Pierrot
has the face of the dead. If he whitens
it, it is that the slightest play of feature
may excite emotion that Watching the
contraction of dead mans features
gives us. If our impressions are more
violent, because Pierrot is death-laugh-
ing, crying or surprised; that is, not
the ordinary deaths head, with its fish
less skull, eye]ess sockets and mean
ingless grin, but the head of death the
moment after the soul has taken III
fight.
II only tried it once" said the poor
fellow, "but the people were afraid.
They had to ring the curtain down.
They thought I was drunk. And he
burst into tears. He Was victim o.

DR.. George T. WEIGH, of Keyport,
New Jersey, in the Medical Record, Wig
orously protests against the extrav-
agant and almost universal application
OF drugs for every malady and form of
disease. He tells us that the medical
scientist is skeptical of all drugs, and
that medicine has achieved her most
glorious renown in the prevention, not
in the cure, of disease; and he boldly
declares that, "even to be liberal in q
large sense, if certain drugs like opium
quinine, iodine, phosphorus, iron, ether
strychnia and aconite were rescued, the
whole nauseous bulk of the rest might
be in the fiat seas sunk, and the death
rate rise no higher. The trouble
is, the writer asserts that medi-
tai thought runs too much
towards "sqecifics." Proof of the ten
dency Of natural recovery is not lacking
in the wonderful cures that have been
handed down by drugs which present
enlightenment show to have no remedial
virtues whatever, and "the decrdence
Of once popular remedies must lead US
to suspect the disappearance of many
which are now highly esteemed"

Professor E. D. Cope, of Philadel-
phia, recently returned from the west,
writes that the bison, the elk, and other
OF the larger game animals of this coun-
try. are approaching determination.
The elk, has been eliminated from the
confines Of civilization, and exists only
in the forests; and the bison, unable to
hide his giant frame upon the open prai-
RE, is nearer to extinction than any of
hissmaller CO. sufferers. Ofthe bison he
says: The once huge southern herd
has been reduced to few animals in
northwestern Texas. The Dakota herd
numbers only some u, 900 head, mum.
Der which will soon be reduced to zero
IT the present rate of determination con-
tinues. The Montana herd is now tho
object of relentless slaughter, and will
soon follow the course of the other two
herds" These bands are about all that
is left out of the countless millions that
once roved the plains. 1t is supposed
by many that the game in the Yellow
stone Park is preserved; but reliable &C.
counts assert that it is not.

The courts throughout the country
seem to be Tightening up the law of IL
bel in way that renders the publica-
ton Of ordinary news somewhat danger
ous.. The latest move in this direction
is by the supreme court of Massachu-
sets in an action to recover damages
for the publication of an alleged libel of
and concerning plaintiff, in the
Boston Herald, the same consist
ing in publishing petition for
the removal of plaintiff from the bar
before any action had been tax en- or
hearing had upon the same. The de-
cision was against the newspaper, and
the court decided that the publica ton of
preliminary written statements or COM
plants may be lbellous, etc. 1T would
be carrying privilege farther than we feel
prepared to carry it, to say that by the
easy means Of emitting and fling it in
. couse . sufficient foundation might
be laid for scattering any libel broad
cast with impunity." Western courts,
- . rule, are not inclined to restrict the
liberty Of the press to tho extent of the
Eastern, though they seem to DO NOV
ipg in tho same direction.

Diplomatic and Other Changer.

A recent Washington Special Telegram Says:
There has been considerable shifting around
In the diplomatic service. Congressman
Kasson of Iowa goes to Germany to see if he
can get along with the great chancellor, and
takes with him a natural aptitude and long
experience in diplomacy. Ex-Attorney Gen
eral Taft 10 transferred from Austria to
Russia, and John NJ Francis, of the Troy
Times, is promoted from Portugal to Austria
Mr.. Francis would have been sent to St.
Petersburg but for the fact that New
York already has one hrst-class
mission Lewis Richmond Of Rhode
Island goes to Portugal in the place Of
Mr.. Francis The appointments for Alaska
were also made to day, and Andrew L. Lewis
OF Cannon's district, illinois, is make clerk
OF the court. Frank Sperry, who is private
secretary to the secretary Of the treasury, is
appointed one Of the justices for Dakota and
Leonard Smith Of Iowa is the other. This is
great disappointment to Delegate Ray
mond, who earnestly urged George r Elan
merry and George H. Hand, who were we'll en-
dorsed by the bars of their respective dis
tricts. George Turner Of Alabama is made
associate justice Of Washington Territory
He was the chairman Of the Alabama dele
CATION to tho Chicago convention
In the long list of the appointments sent
to the senate to-day there is one which Gre
ates considerable amusement, that of Frank
Sperry, to be associate justice of Dakoka.
Sperry is young man of about twenty-five
years. but his youthful face and diminutive
stature make him appear as a mere boy. He
has delicate little mutton chop side whiskers,
which look as though they were the first at
tempts at sproutdng beard He is alto
gether very insignificant looking youth
He was admitted to practice at the New
York bar two or three years ago, but through
the influence of George Bliss was appointed
private secretary to Secretary Fo]gcr Con-
sequently he has had no experience in the
practice Of the law. 1t is said that he has
been very faithful to the wishes of George
Bliss, and that he has regularly reported to
Bliss tho private movements of Folger
There does not appear to be any objection to
the young gentleman aside from his youth
and inexperience. The appointments Of
Kasson, Kent and Francis are gener-
ally commended Seward Smith.
who has been appointed as
sociate Justice of Dakota, is lawyer of Des<
Moines, with practice of twenty years. He
is said to be man of ability and high stand
ing at the bar. Mr.. Byers who has been an
pointed consul general at Rome, has been
for several years consul at Zurich, Switzer,

motion. Byers is the author of the song

The eastern papers cater in one sense
to the numerous class known as bread
eaters. They seem to magnify tho
amount lin sight" and the prospects Of
an abundant crop, with view of lower
ing the price of the great staple, and
are assisted to some extent local pride
in large yields. As yet there is no real
basis for estimates of the number of
bushels to be thrown on the market,
but this fact is no obstruction to the ex-
pert figurers, who have their reputation
to majrtain of seeing farther into the
future than anybody else.

The London World attempts to prove
that different modes of hand shaking
will delineate character better than any
other act. The person who presents
two fingers with the others bent upon
the palm, is stingy. The hand coldly
held out to be shaken and drawn away
again as soon as it decently may be, in
dictates cold, selfish character, while
the hand which seeks yours cordially,
and unwillingly relinquishes it's warm
clasp, gives token of a warm DISPOSE
ton, and of heart full of sympathy for
humanity.

A german doctor in Philadelphia SAYS

kind in Germany, where the beer is

but is "jerked out" to tipplers when it
