Double Consciousness.

From the London Queen.
What is thai strange sense that
most of US have OF a double conscious
ness-Of a kind of twin seli-like and
yet unlike the person as we are held
by the world and known to be by
ourselves-of a foregone experience
Identical with this we are now under
gOing-Of previous circumstances, of
which tbs is only a repetition? Few
Of US are so unconscious. so unObser-
want, as not to have known both these
phases Of feeling-bOth that which
redOubles and dif6rentIates the self,
and that which makes this place, this
person, this conversation but a rope
titiOn OF what has already been. Per
daps the former Of these two states
may be referred TO the infinite COM
plexitY of the human mind, but with
this complexity that elemental
hOmOgeneity which makes all the
world akin. and which Terence crys-
tailed in his famous aphorism:
Homo sum: humani nihil a me alien
am putc This being true. then every
JekyII has MS potential Hyde, and
every Hyde his possible Jekyll; and
there are no heights nor depths to
which we may not rise or descend, at
least In Imagination. Here conscience
and aginatiOn-principle and pO.
tentiality-make that confusion
which creates a double consciousness
through a single line of action. Say
we have to deal with man whom
we have no right to offend overtly,
and whom secretly we despise with
a very vehemence of contempt.
What q strong strain o. double con
seriousness is here! Our m anners,
our speech, must of necessity be
smooth and without Offense. In our
heart we are conscious OF a scOrn
that loathes and repudiates the
creatures of mean vices and we'll
yelled infamy, from whom, how
ever, it is not our business
to tear the mask. We are two
people when We are IN his company
+ one the morallst, who shakes q spirit
ual fist at the other, the man Of the
world; while the man of the world
+ shrugs his shoulders at the mOralist,
and says IN unheard tones: "Don' (
make a fool of yourself" Again this
/ kind of double consciousness comes
/ into play when we are in q difficulty
/ from which a little unworthy chicansy
would extricate us and where perfect

Holding to Old Usages.

It seems somewhat strange that the
usages OF a semi-barbarous people, as
the English people were when theco
mon law was evolved, are all abandon
ed except those that pertain TO the
administration Of justice. An English
paper, in calling attention to the cir
cumstance that judges in that cOun-
try still wear wigs in trying cases, says
that it furnishes evidence that there
is less progress in law than in any
pursuit to which men of intelligence
and learning devote themselves. A
hundred years ago the members of ali
professions wore WIGS, but they are
never $ en- now outside a court room.
Our Judges do not wear wigs, but they
hold fast to practices that have long
been abandoned in Great Britain
Trials here are much longer than
there, and many more appeals to
higher courts are taken. English
courts, it is said, are now not only
demonstrating, but sources OF revenue,
while the maintenance OF our courts
imposes a heavy burden on the PEG.

Our RoYag Ancestors.

From the London Queen.
The number of families in the United
States who can claim royal descent IS
so great that a book has lately been
written on the subject The PIanta-
genets appear to have given rise to a
larger number Of American families
than any other royal stock; and Ed
ward III IS cred tied with half q dozen
or so, including the families of Wash
IngtOn and CadWaIader. A King of
Munster is ;tnswerable for a family Of
CAROLS, and the King OF North
Wales for the Boyds- King James "
OF Scotland, has numerous represent
aJives today in the states, including,
it appears, the Potts family and that
Of the Jeackles. Even POwhattan,
king OfVirginia, Is made use OF for he
raldic purposes, and from him are de-
scended the Murrays and RandOlphs
and others. Negro descent from the
many African kings is not included
which seems like wilfully throwing
away a valuable and extensive source
Of royal pedigree.

An Old Prophecy Found.

A McKeespOrt, (Pa.,) Special says:
While tearing down an old building In

whisky, labeled as having been distilI-

by the late Orlando Grier, and in q
tin box found near the flask was q
written statement that he had placed
the whisky in the chimney. The most
singular OF the discovery was q written
prophecy in which the following ex-
Uraordinary Language appears:
''Ihirty-Ive years from 1888 slRv-

water, and light will dispel the dark

with temperance a formidable enemy.

The English Panacea.

Boston Pilot: The Scotch crofters
continue to trouble Lord Salisbury's
Government. Being Scotchmen they
ought to be content to starve without
murmur, unlike the turbulent Irish !;
but being human, they are not willing
to make room for sheep and deer, and
so the infallible English panacea Is
offered to them. They viii be assist

proposes to advance $50, 900, each fam
lily receiving a loan Of $780, to be re-
paid in twelve yearly instruments. Can

free, probably in Manitoba or somewhere
in the vicinity of that polar region,
where the flies and mosquitoes viii not
trouble them and so it viii be all right.
The sacred sheep and deer viii not be
mOlested by the presence of mere croft
ers, the artifcially cOngested" districts

the Northwest, or anywhere else out of
sight and hearing at home. Expatria-
ton is the simple cure for all the evils

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. special: Among
the applicants for admission to the bar
of the state of New York here today,
and who were admitted. was Hong Yen
Chang of Brooklyn. He is the only
regularly admitted Chinese lawyer in
this country. In reply to questions he
said he was born in China, is twenty
seven years of age, and has been in this
country fifteen years. Says he was re-
fused admission at the general term in
New York City, though the committee
reported that he had passed the re-
quired examination. He says Judge
Van Brunt of general term denied him
admission for reasons which, though he
asked for them, were not given, the
Judge telling him that the legislature
allowed the court discretion in the mat
ter, and IL that he knows is that the
court did not, "in its discretion" admit
him. Chang was educated at Yale.
studied law at Columbia college and
was recently naturaliZed. The legisla-
ture, in 1887, passed an act permitting
him to again apply for admission. In
appearance he has a decidedly Chinese
look, but he speaks excellent English.
He is of medium height, rather stout
and is a very bright young man. The
examining committee said he passed a
very creditable examination and was
deservedly awarded a diploma VII
liam M. Randolph of Brooklyn, a col
Ored man, was also admitted. He was
a graduate of the New York university
and a student in a law office in New
York City. He looks more like "a Span

face is of a bright mulattO color, but
his hair is kinky. He, too, passed a

The most glaring exhibition of hu-
man vanity that ever saw was q
young man as ne stood admiring the
reflection Of his well dressed figure Ia
the glass of a hearse. The hearse stood
IN front Of an undertaking establish
ment, and, being heavily draped on
the inside, it made g first rate mirror.
There ne stood for several minutes
adjusting his neclztie and turning his
head In an admiring way from side to
side, as unconcerned as If he had been
standing in front OF a pier glass instead
Of a carriage for the dead. And this
wasn't all. There was g casket in the
hearse, and his face was really reflect
ed In one side OF it.-BufalO News.

Poor Paw.

New York Herald: 1t goes without
saying that chief justice should be
chosen from the front rank of American
iurists. Yet man fit to fill that Office
can command at the bar an annual in
come ranging from $40, 600 to $50, 600.
The chief iusticeship of the United
States demands a lawyer of greater grasp
and versatility than does the chief JUS
ticeship of England. The holder of
the latter has to deal chiefly with one
system of Jurisprudence British law.
The systems with which the court at
Washington must cope are more nu-
merOus, varied and complex than fall
within the Jurisdiction of any other tri-
bunal of the globe. There are law and
equity, federal and state law, common
and statutory law, civil and Spanish
law. international and municipal law
all these and more are to be interpreted
by the supreme court at Washington.
Yet the head of that court is paid SO,
500 a year, while England gives its
chief Justice $40, 600 year.
1t is natural to suppose that the chief
Justice of the United States would re
ceive a larger remuneration than the
chief Judge of the greatest state in the
union. Yet the salaries of the two are
the same. 1t is natural to suppose that
the highest judicial salaries In the
country would be paid to the highest
judges. But in this city most of the
judges are dealt with more literally
than are those at Washington. Here

A Newly Rgcognized Law,

Sir William r. Grover has supple
mented his familiar doctrine of the
mutual convertibility of the natural
forces, first announced in 1912, by the
principal of "antagonism. This is
traced throughout the natural universe,
not as the baneful thing which many
deem it, but as necessity of existence
and of the organism of the universe,
producing, at least, as much good as
evil. In his recent address to the Royal
Institution, London, Sir William
pointed out that each sun or planet is
kept in place or orbit by the antagOnis-
tic forces exerted upon it; that light is
affected by antagOnism through the
troubling of the so called ether; that
antagonism operates in the neutraliza-
ton of chemical affinity, in the blades
of grass which rob each other of nutri-
ment, in the animals which prey on each
other, in the movements of the heart
and lungs, in the battles in the blood
between the white cOrpuscles and the
unwholesOme bacteria, in the cOmpeti-
tions and wars of humanity, and, finally,
in the collisions which must play a
great part in regenerating life and heat
among the cooling bodies of space.
