THE Galveston News has a grudge
against James G.. Blaine that all the
purgatorial fires of political school
cannot purify it from. 1t hates Blaine
for what he is, and for what he is not;
for what he does and for what he does
not do; for what he says and for what
he does not say; because he is not a
republican candidate and because he
is and will continue to hate until the
power of loving or hating is clear gone
from it forever. The News is dis
gruntled because Blaine is to be re-
ceived with open arms upon his return
to America this month, and growls
out against the republican party as
follows, on that account:
"The New York republicans may
have good time in welcoming Blaine
home, but they will hardly make
many friends by showing such honor
to the man who has been repudiated
by the best men in the republican
party. Such demon situations go far to
show that Blaine is not the only bad
man in his party"
The News man always rolls himself
up in his blanket the wrong way
when he writes about Blaine and re-
sembles, as Hood says, a hedgehog
rolled up the wrong way tormenting
himself with his prickles. Blaine al
ways was and until times latest hour
will continue to..be thorn in the dem
ocratic side.

Ina Lumber Slash.

A doctor of divinity, who writes to
tie Forest and Stream of his angling
adventures, tells of being stuck in q

have been felled in the winter, their
trunks peeled of the marketable bark,

here were about six feet high. indi-

Feasting on Elephants Feet.

Speaking of elephant s foot takes us
naturally to the Kaflirs. where this
dish is the GROWING triumph of their
bills OF fare. Night is the time gener.
ally selected by the Kaffir for the en-.
ioyment of his prime luxury. Other
portions of the elephant are eaten
with great gusto, but the feet are es-
teemed the delicacies of the least. A
hole is dug in the ground and fire
made on the bottom. 1t is allowed
to burn down to aheap of Goals, whic h
are scraped out by the cooks. Wht n
the oven has been freed from emhers,
the foot is rolled into it and covered
with twigs and green leaves. After
this the hot embers are replaced and
a roaring fire started over the heap.
In this manner the foot is baked, and
when the fire has burned low the con-
tents of the oven are lifted out by
several men, and the feast opens.
Travellers who have Toasted with the
Kaiiirs on occasions of this kind have
paid glowing compliments to their
cookery. The natives are said to
love elephant foot next to the marrow
taken from the Leg bones OF the giraffe
or Gland, but the preparation OF this
food does not afford the enjoyment
which is associated with the dish
which we have Observation-Disclosures.

Mrs. ulysses 5. Grant.

OF the living wives Of presidents Mrs
Ulysses S. Grant leads as quiet a life
as any. She has gone to Florida now
with the family of -Governor Leland
Stanford with whom she is very inti-
mate. She has of late been writing
"reminiscences. When Col. Fred Grant
was asked il she meant to publish them
in a book he replied that her work in
that way was entirely a matter OF
impulse, and that there WAS no cer-
tainty as yet whether it would be print.
ed. 1t is sure that she will not lack OPP
portunity. Uncounted publishers are
bidders for the manuscript, but they
are told that she has nothing to sell.
The probability is that Mark Twain's
firm, having done as well for her and
themselves in the issue OF Gen. Grants
memoirs, will be able and willing to
outbid their rivals. Nevertheless,
when Ulysses S. Grant, Jr.. went into
The Cosmopolitan Magazine as vice
president and stakeholder, it was
thought in literary circles that Mrs.
Grant would help him by putting her
"reminiscences into that periodical.
Col. Grant denies strenuously that
his brother is being backed in any
other way than by lean OF money
from his mother, and the authorized
assertion is that. although shares of
the stock stand in young Ulysses
name. he is trustee for her. That is
a legal technicality to protect him as
a bankrupt from the Grant & Ward
failure. My careful prediction is that
Mrs. Grant will publish something
within the year.-Gara Belle in Chi
cago Tribune.

The Rights of inventors

When an inventor brines out some
thing that accomplishes a useful pur.
pose not before accomplished, or
does this better or more economically
than it has been done, it is reasonably
certain he has invented something in
the value OF which he has an interest.
And this point is the one that is over.
looked by those who declaim against
the rights of inventors in favor OF
some one who tried to do something
similar twenty years before. The
very fact that the party who tried
first did not succeed is fairly good
evidence that he did not make the in.
vention. All recent construction of
patent law is in favor of sustaining
the inventor who accomplishes some
thing, as against the man who tried
and failed, even though the means
used are very similar. And this is
justice and common sense. The pat
ent laws are presumably in the inter.
est of the public. and the public is
interested in the inventor to exactly
the extent that 1T is benefited by him.

He Took His Bell Punch Home

and were amusing themselves with it
when their mamma caught them at it.
She took the machine away from
who after eating his breakfast skipped
of to work with out noticing that
anything was wrong. Well, the next
day when he reported at the Office the
superintendent told him that he was
just 1895 fares short. 1t paralyzed
him for while. and then he asked
how it was, and they showed him the
record. You see the con all carry a
book in addition to the punch. and
every time they collect a fare they
mark it on the book as well as pulling
the punch. When you leave the Office
the number indicated by your bell
punch is taken, and when you come
in il is also taken. the former sub
tracted from the latter, which gives
the numb.r fares and must agree
with the book record. This conduc-
tor asked time to go home and return

explain. But he does not carry that
bell punch home any more. He leaves

Encourage the Editor.

As rule. an editor gets about
1000 kicks to one caress. Once IN a
while he gets kind word. and it
warns and cheers his weather beaten,
storm racked heart to the innermost
core. Most people are afraid to tell
an editor when he writes an article
that particularly pleases them, for
fear OF making him proud, we suppose.
but if they End anything that does
not accord precisely with their views,
they will neglect their business to
hunt him up and tell him of it. Pshawl
dear friends, don't think you will
spoil the editor by giving him an oc-
casional word OF cheer, any more than
you will spoil your child by compli-
menting it upon a piece of patchwork
it has finished. OF course you could
beat the job yourself, but that doesn't
deter you from heaping words of
encouragement on the child. 1t has
done its best. So you could doubtless
beat the average editor at running a
paper? Of course, you can. The
man does not live who can't beat an
editor at running q paper. The edi-
tor is willing to acknowledge that you
can. He only runs it because you
have not time to; but this fact need
not deter you from giving HIM word
of encouragement occasionally

The Dress of the Dead.
ON the PHILADELPHIA Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
In the past five years the shroud in
dustry in this city has grown to enor-
nous proportions. and this dress OF
the dead. while it has become uupopu.
Jar with some, has grown steadily in
favor with others. The reason for the
great increase OF the business il on &C.
count OF the steady growth of the
population, and because the bigger
the population the bigger the death
rate.
1t used to be that shrouds were
made almost entirely by layers-out of
the dead and poor women, who made
a regular business OF it and worked
early and late, according to the num-
Der OF orders they had. Shrouds were
then made at short notice, because
after the person died there wasn't
much time to design and make the
shroud, and women worked all night
to fill their orders. Nowadays there
are very few professional shroud.mak-
ers in this city. Those few are mostly
women who work regularly for some
particular undertaken, but they don't
make much. A shroud.makers said that
she used to have nice income from her
business, but that the big undertake
ers' supply stores had ruined the bust
ness for the shroud-makers about
town, because they can make the
shrouds for a great deal less money.
The woman was stitching away at a
shroud at the time. This is for an
old Quaker lady," she said, ''who
died yesterday. l must finish it be-
fore | go to sleep. What business /
get now is almost entirely for dressing
old persons, principally women. 1t
used to be that nearly everybody was
buried in shrouds, and that isn't
more than half dozen years ago.
A prominent undertaken, who, has
what is known in the business as a
tony trade" said: 81 don't suppose
] have used more than half dozen
shrouds in year. With my class of
trade the custom is dying out. The
people bury are nearly all cared for
IN their sickness by professional nurs-
es, who have become as thick as hops
in this city. Nearly every physician
has list OF - dozen men or women
he can recommend. Well, the probes
sional nurses in the past five years
have got to preparing the dead Tor
burial, ard they can dress q corps
just as well as they can dress a live
person. My customers prefer to have
their relatives buried in either the
clothes they wore in life CT similar
suit. A great many people bury now
are buried in their dress suits that
they have worn to weddings. recep-
tions, balls or banquets. 1t takes
two persons to dress body, but it is
done easily nowadays. Five or six
years ago it was looked upon as al
most an lmpossibility, and up to that
time nearly everybody was buried in
shrouds. For my part. like to see a
person prepared for the grave to look
as natural as they did in life, and
they certainly don't look like them
selves if they are sttired in a STROUD"
