according es these lordly antorats Of Che
press desire The editor and the publisher
seem to go on the idea that because they re-
ceire a large amount Of manuscript they are
not bound to care Tor it, whereas that very
fact gives them the widest range or selection
and enables them to produce the very best

Writer'S are naturally afraid to object to
the high handed destruction Of their manu-
script, fearing to give offe1se to the editor
and deprive themselves Of chance for fu-
ture publication Few. Of them keep copies
Of their work, and it requires greater e1er-

ANOTHER INTERESTING CASE.

Within the month of June, while driving
about five miles from my home, I saw a
robin sitting on wayside fence and singing
a set Of notes most charmingly unlike any
thing had ever heard; neither was it at all
like our birdie. Il was as complex as cat
bird often sings, but not apparently i1ita-
tive. This has led me to very decided con-
viction that an evolution IN robin music Is
now going on, and that some very delightful
results may be locked for. l shall be- glad to
get notes from Observers IN different parts Of
the country. OF this I am certain, that our
common thrush has vast vocal power IN
developed Evolution with birds must move,
as it has moved in the line OK music, pIumage
and fight and nest building Nothing in
these directions need surprise Us.

l.shed near New York city, over 300 miles
from here: Thomas O'Donneu, of Rondout,

pronped Her Studied Dignity.

Mrs. Sam NewlyrIch, the naughty, purse
proud wife Of Montana millionaire, Unbept
sufficiently to take party Of Boston tourists
out riding in her own landau, drawn By four
black horses with red fly nets and plumes,
while the goodman was in scarlet and yell
low livery.
Mrs. Newlyrich maintained an attitude Of
studied dignity until her John happened to
give one Of her four black steeds cut with
his whip, when she lapsed into her old air Of
ease and frankness, and said, smartly:
'sHere you, Billy Jackson, you stop ickin'
them horses like that or I'll lick you-blaned

struck Bostonians, ''but that of boss cost

The Evil Effects of Hypnotism.
a well connected and modest young man
who lives with his mother in fashionable
part OF Paris, recently attended what is
called a soiree dhypnotisus at q friends
house. de was sent to sleep and stuffed
nlannikin was placed by his side, which he
was told was a man whom he must murder.
The youth did as be was told, and when a
knife was put into his hand he ripped the
dummy figure open with the fiendish exultl-
ton Of man who was wreakiug long cher
Ished revenge on al enemy. After that he
awoke, but ever since he has been laboring
under the delusion that he mad murdered his
mother. He ran away from his home and
sat weeping on bench in the Champs Ely
sees, when two policemen, whose curiosity
had been excited, care up to him On see
ing the dreadful agents of the law the poor
fellow took to his heels and was, of course,
pursued and arrested. It was only when
brought face to face with his mother that he
regained his senses-Hame Journal.

An Ancient Canal Uncovered.

H. J. Stevenson, surveyor for the Palm Valley Water company, reports making singular discovery while surveying the canal line running south and easterly from the old Agua Caliente springs. He had run one line on grade of four feet to the mile from the present terminus of the stone canal to the new town site, but in crossing the de- pression near the mountain it would become necessary to build a quarter of mile of flun- ing. In order to obviate this expense he was instructed to make a new survey on a grade of eight feet to the mile, to strike the town site at a lower level and cross the de- pression without a fume On this last sur- vey, after crossing the depression in good shape, he struck an old canal that must have been used centuries ago, for large trees had grown up in tho very bottom of the canal, and tho indications were that when used it carried very large volume of water. The most singular thing about the canal was that the surveyors found it just where they wanted to construct the new canal, and in following it up for a distance of about mile it was found to have @ regula, grade of about eight feet to the mile.-Riverside (Cal.)

Washington's Habits.

He was very simple in his domestic habits, rising often in pidwinter at 5 o'clock. He kindled bis own fire, and read or wrote by candle light until z o'clock, when he break lasted very frugally. His ordinary break fast was two small cups of tea and three or four cakes of Indian meal, called hoecakes. After breakfast he mounted one of his superb horses, and in simple attire, but which set off to great advantage his majestic frame, vis- tied all those parts of the extended estate where any work was in progress. Every thing was subjected to careful supervision At times he dismounted and even lent help ing hand in Intolerance of the operations which were going on. He dined at 2 o'clock and retired at about 9 in the evening. He was kind in word and deed to his negro slaves, and while careful that they should not be overtasked, was equally careful that they should not loiter their time away in idle ness The servants were proud of their stately, di9nified, wealthy master, and looked up to him with a reverence amounting almost to religious homage. Washington was very fond of the chase. Often when riding to @ distant part of the estate he would take some of the hounds with him in the hope of start ing upa fox. The habits and tastes of the old English nobility prevailed in Virginia to extraordinary degree The passion for following the hounds was thoroughly trans- planted from the broad estates of the Eng fish landholders to the vast realms which na- ture had reared and embellished on the banks of the Potomac and amid tho ridges of the Alleghanies

A Picture of the Immigrant.

In his lecture on Immigration" Dr. Bemis gave picture of the immigrant at the low level to which he has now mostly fallen. On board steamer of the Allan line at her wharf in Baltimore large number of these people were gathered to their feed. This was pork and potatoes cooked together in kettle with copious liquid accompaniment. Gath cred in groups on the deck about each kettle, the only knife in possession of each group was used by the first man, who cut off a slice of pork and passed the knife to his neighbor. Making a cup of the meat by the aid of his palm and little finger, the next step was to secure potato and place it on the thumb end of his hand. Then with the ladle he poured the soup over the potato and let it trickle down to the meat. By reversing his hand and eating from each end of it al- ternately he was able to eat meat, potato and soup all in one process. The sight of a ship load of people engaged in this occupa- tion must have been inspiring.-Buffalo Ex-

Theodore Roosevelt's Pen Picture of a
 Class That Will Soon Pass Away.
 Singly. or in twos or threes, they gallop their. wiry little horses down the street, their 1.-the, supple figures erect or swaying slightly as they sit loosely in the saddle, while their stirrups are so long that their knees are hardly bent, the bridles not taut enough to keep the chains from clanking. They are smaller and less muscular than the wielders of ax and pick; but they are as hardy and self reliant as any men who ever breathed- with bronzed, set faces, and keen eyes that look all the world straight in the face with out finching as they flash out from under the broad brimmed hats. Peril and hardship and years of long toll, broken by weeks of brutal dissipation, draw haggard lines across their eager faces, but never dim their reck- less eyes nor break their bearing of defiant self-confidence.
 They do not walk we'll, partly because they so rarely do any work out of the saddle, partly because their chaperajos, or leather overalls, hamper them when on the ground; but their appearance is striking for all that, and picturesque, too, with their Jlngl1ng spurs, the big revolvers stuck in their belts, and bright silk handkerchiefs knotted loosely round their necks over the open collars of the flannel shirts. When drunk on the viii lainous whisky of the frontier towns they cut mad antics, riding their horses into the saloons, firing their pistols right and left, from boisterous lightheartedness rather than from any viciousness, and indulging too often in deadly shooting afrays, brought on either by the accidental contact of the moment or on account of some long standing grudge, or perhaps because of bad blood between two ranches or localities, but except while on such sprees they quiet, rather self con- taiped men, perfectly frank and simple, and on their own ground treat a stranger with the most whole souled hospitality, doing all in their power for him and scorning to take any reward in return.
 Although prompt to resent an injury, they are not at all apt to be rude to outsiders, treating them with what can almost be called a gravo courtesy. They are much better fel- lows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers, nor arc the mechanics and workmen Of great city to be mentioned in the same breath. h.-Theodore Roosevelt in The Century.

BOSTON has produced another physician, named Dutton, who is decidedly opposed to vaccination, and makes the following argument: ''The practice of vaccination rests to-day on precedent, custom and hu- man enactments; it does not rest on un- derstanding. You do not suppose that smallpox itself can be a preventive of smallpox. Fire is not preventive of fire, nor water of flood. Varioloid is only an- other name for smallpox, and the matter taken from varioloid pustule will com municate smallpox. The term "varioloid" was invented by vaccinators to conceal from the people the fact that vaccination is no protection. In fact, it propagates smallpox, for cowpox and smallpox are practically identical. It is safe to say that vaccination never yet prevented single case of smallpox, and never can. It is smallpox itself, and modifes any subse- quent attack only as fire that burns only one of the outbuildings of a gentleman s villa modifies the confagration that after ward consumes the whole. In the one case the disease is local, in the other gen. eral, and that is all the difference. That vaccination is not preventative is certain. Had it been a preventative, we should never have heard of varioloid Varioloid is smallpox occurring after vaccination"
