Brown Stone Not Much Csed.

The use of brown stone in building
business structures is almost entirely dis
continued in New York. 1t is used for
dwellings,, but its chief employment Is
for window and door trimmings. Wher-
ever it forms building material it is
massed with the utmost plainness and
simplicity. New Orleans Times-Demo-

The notion of an Irish exhibition in
London seems queer one. There have
been many national exhibitions in Lon
don of late, and some of them have been
very successful. Ii has doubtless occurred
TO some shrewd Snowman that with all
the talk about ireland there ought to be
some curiosity about it, and that an Irish
exhibition in London would therefore be
likely to pay. The question what was to
be exhibited must have been in his mind
a minor detail.-N Y. Times.

WATTERsoN's IDEA We like 10 hear
Henry Walterson speak out on the tariff
question. He is right, of course, in say
lag that the Mills bill, under debate and
subject to amendment until Congress adj
iourns, cannot be made certain plank
in the Democratic platform. But the
principles which underlie the Mills bill,
which called ii into being, which have
given it strength and Importance and
which promise so much relief 10 all the
peopie-those principles must and un-
doubtedly will be incorporated into any
tariff issue which the convention places

The ESFIDEL PARTY When Colonel
Robert IngersoI rises TO place Gresham
in nomination at the Chicago COnyen-
ton, the impression of the pi0us element
of the country respecting the lack OF
orthodoxy in the opinions and life OF the
Indianian will be greatly strengthened.
Ingcisoll may succeed in satisfying the
Sialwait PrOlectionists that Gresham Is
with them, but lngersol's championship
will surely convince many churchmen
that the man he favors is not a man after
their hearts. Perhaps the friends OF the
compromise candidate will think of all
this in time, and select some one else TO
announce their choice. lngersOlfs
championship Of Gresham, if successful
in the convention, would send many
Republican votes to Fisk.-N. J. Star.

TUE MILLS BLL.-Unti the conven-
tons are Overneither House will do much
work. The prospect now is that the
Mills bill will get through the House
some time in the next three weeks, and
that the Senate Finance Committee will
by that time have its tariff bill ready to
be substituted for the House bill. 1t il the
belief of Senators that the Senate's bill
will pass the Senate without long debate;
that the measure will then 90 To a con-
ference committee, and that in this con
ference it will be found possible to come
to an agreement on bill acceptable to
both houses.
What will in that event become of Re
publicans like Messrs Kelley and Reed,
who have vigorously opposed tariff
changes, remains 10 be seen.-Dlspdtch 10

The form of the resolutions, especially
upon tariff reform, is now the only thing
not positively settled in advance, but
with Henry Watterson as chairman of
the committee the resolutions are not
likely to lack decision, while the general
composition of the committee insures
that they also will not lack good sense.

The Unpainted Indian.

OF all misunderstood and misrepresented
people ! consider the North American In
dian the most so. By some he has been
painted an incarnate fiend: by others he
has been represented as sage and stole, his
mind stored with philosophy, in demeanor
grave, taciturn, and delighting in solitude;
his body capable of great endurance, and
his spirit sustained by unflinchiug courage
By such Wrestling, twisting and misrepre-
sentation as would make a poem out of the
multiplication table, or an allegory out of
problem of Euclid, his childish fetish
ism has blossomed into sublime theol-
ogy. His myths, which are like the
dreamings of insanity, are remodeled to re-
semble legends of the lives of the saints,
with dash of the Arabian Nights. With
a language of but little more than hun
dred words he has become the author OF
sublime poems, dealing with the abstract
and complex. Even gentlemen of the Ma
sonic fraternity have discovered that he
has anticipated the signs and secrets OF
their Order.
He is described as stoical, yet it is an
everyday affair to see full grown Indian
buck sit down, lift up his voice and weep
over the most trifing disappointment.
He is called taciturn and loving soli-
tude, and vet he will chatter like mag.
pie; gossip is his principal business in life
and he will ride for miles to be the first tc
tell any news; while there are not suffi-
cient inducements on this whirling globe to
influence him to live solitary for single
month.
He is supposed to be naturally brave and
physically strong, but he is not; nor does
! he pretend even to himself to be either

Snakes in the stomach.

There are great many stories afoat of
snakes having lived for months, or even
years, in the human stomach. | quote the
following from the Bucks county Intelh-
gencer, Pennsylvania:
GA Connecticut lady tells us that, as a
child, she knew of more than one person
who had swallowed snakes egg The
! snake grew, and, when hungry, would
cluck in the throat of its unwilling host.
The only way to get rid of the uncanny
tenant was for the person to fast until
hunger compelled the snake to venture out
to plate of untasted victuals upon the
table. This is genuine myth that no
doubt still exists in the central part of
Connecticut"
A Massachusetts country girl told me of
another case which she said she had never
thought of doubling. A lady was long an
noyed by the presence of a snake in her
stomach supposed to have been swallowed
while still very small, in drinking water.
She finally decoyed from its quarters the
unwelcome occupant by boiling large
dish of milk, over which she bent until the
snake came out to feed. Similar myths
are common in New England, New Bruins
wick and Nova Scotia, in which eels or
"lizards' (newts) take the place of snakes.
In the "South End of Boston there lives
a man who is nick-named Lizard" by the
street-boys, because it is currently reported
+ that he for many years unwillingly enter
/ tanned one of these batrachian parasites
In every instance it is believed that the
only relief possible is to coax forth the
creature by some tempting dish of food or
drink.-Popular Science Monthly.

Misauoted Lines.

1t is peculiar faculty of human mem
ory to misquote proverbs and poetry, and
almost invariably to place the credit where
1t does not belong.
Nine men out of ten think that "The
Lord tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb is from the Bible, whereas Lawrence
Sterne is the author Pouring oil upon
the troubled waters" is also ascribed to the
sacred volume, whereas it is not there; in
fact, no one knows its origin.
Again, we hear people say "The proof
of the pudding is in chewing the string"
Inis Is arrant nonsense, and the proverb
says:
"The proof of the pudding is in the eat
ing thereof and not in chewing the string"
Nothing Is more common than to hear:
"A man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still
This is an impossible condition of mind,
for no one can be convinced of an opinion
and at the same time hold to an opposite
one. What Butler wrote was eminently
sensible:
He that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still"
A famous passage of Scripture is often
misauoted thus: " He that is without sin
among you, let him cast the first stone" 1t
should be: " Let him cast a stone"
Sometimes we are told: Behold how
great fire a little matter kindleth,' y
whereas st. James said: "Behold how
great matter little fire kindIeth," which
is quite different thing.
We also hear that {" a miss is as good as
a mile," which is not as sensible or forcible
as the true proverb: "A miss of an inch is
as good as a mile"
Look before you leap" should be
"And look before you ere you leap"
Pope is generally credited with having
written:
" Immodest words admit of no defense,
For want of deeency is want of sense y
though it would puzzle any one to find the
verses in his writings, They are writer
by the Earl of Roscommon, who died be
fore Pope was born.
Franklin said, Honesty is the best pol
ICY" but the maxim is of Spanish origin
and may be found in Don Quixote.'
