WASHINGTON, Sept 24.-Interest in
the speakership contest is growing very
lively. 1t will not attain full strength,
however; until after the fail elections.
There is a tacit understanding that no
candidate shalt start active campaign
work prior 20 the Ohio and Virginia cleo
tions. Mckinley will be busy in Ohio,
and ne and his chief rival, Reed, are
both booked Tor work IN Virginia. The
race isGarrowed down to 8 certainty to
three, Reed, Mckinley and Burrows,
and beyond this there is nothing definite.
There are rumOrs that the West and South
VIII join hands ia electipg a speaker, be-
cause of common interest For this
reason they VIII combine against Reed and
Center or either Mckinley or Burrows.
The existence of a scheme of this sort
Is about as nebulous, however, as the
story that the seventeen Sou thern con-
gressmen would force the election of one
of their number to the speakership, or as
an alternative turn the house over to the
Democrats.

THE COLOR LINE.

where the color line is drawn more
sharply than elsewhere, it is on the
steamers running between Washington

to Hayt1, wished to go to the latter place
to embark ON the government vessel,

out that while his wife, who Is white,
would be given first-class accOmmOda-

off from all the privileges extended Mrs.
Douglass. As he objected TO this, the
state department got transportation for
him on a government boat going to Nor

A Mothers Rigid Rule Causes n Child to
Make Ludicrous Blunder.
Cov1ngton (Ga. Star.l
A good joke is related of kind sister,
belonging to a church not thousand miles
from CovingtOn, who was devotedly attached
to her pastor, and piously taught her chill
dren to reverence the minister above all
men. They were strictly and conscien-
tiously taught that. when speaking of him
in comparison with other men or things, he
must always be excepted as the greatest and
best. This rule was 90 rigidly adhered to
by the good mother. and the children were
so punctiliously trained with regard to their
high esteem and partiality for the minister,
that they never spoke of anyone or any
thing without always adding the one ex-
ceptlon.
Now, it SO happened one day that one of
the little boys, who was q precocious
youngster of six years, was out playing in
the fields, near his home, and discovered an
immense hog grazing in the pasture, when
he became alarmed and ran to the house
with all the swiftness his little legs could
command. Upon reaching the "paternal
haven of safety" and almost out of breath,
he called to his mother with all the anima-
tion and ardor of his boyish nature: ''Ohi
ma, NAL 1 saw the biggest hog down yonder
in the field that I ever saw in my life
except our minister" Whereupon it is said
the good mother tainted.

FLYING UNDER WATER.
Birds That Can Swim Quite az Easily AZ
They Can Fly.

Birds That Can Swim Quite az Easily as
They Can Fly.
One of the most water-loving birds is q
dainty little songster belonging to the thrush
family. and popularity known as the water
ousel, or dipper. This pretty little bird is
found in most parts Of the world, and likes
best the neighborhood of those merry mount
ain streams which rush boisterously on to
their fate, now leaping headloug over some
high rock, now swirling in some deep pool,
and now eddying, dancing, splashing down
a steep incline. Waterfall, pool and eddy
ing stream are alike to the water-ousel.
which will dash into one or the other with
the same ready confidence as the ordinary
bird into the air.
In winter, when its watery home is frozen
over, 1t will seek other and milder parts, un-
less it can be sure Of finding holes in the
ice, in which case it will not hesitate to re-
main at home, for it will plunge through
hole into the icy water with no care at all
for temperature, and having made its VEN
ture successful by the capture of small
tsh, will return to the air once more.
So fond is it of water that it will build
its nest as near to it as possible, and one in
stance is recorded of pair which actually
built behind waterfall, taking advantage
of the space made by the shoot of the water
over the top of the rock.
Although the ousel uses its feet while
swimming, its progress is chiefly due to the
wings, which are moved exactly as if fying
in the air. The wings are admirably
adapted to this use, being almost as broad as
long, and of comparatively great power.
The tail is very short, and the body is COW
cred with soft thick down, which, as the
true aquatic birds, affords an impervious
shield against the water
Like all other birds which either casually
or habitually resort to the water says Har-
per's Magazine, the ousel seems to regard
that element as its safest retreat in time of
danger. Even the little birds which have
never before ventured from the nest, and
which are quite unable to fly, have been
known, when alarmed during the absence of
the parents, to rush pell-mell to the nearest
water and with extraordinary facility to run
along the, bed of the stream for many Yards
before seeking the air. Allowing everything
to the overpowering force of instinct, there
still remains something to wonder at in the
feeling of confidence which can inspire the
hedglings to take so anxiously to the water.

Questions Asked by Small Boy Anxious to

There was youth on Pleasant Valley
car the other day whose mind was Of very
inquiring turn. His age was perhaps 6
years, but he could ask more questions in
six minutes than Solomon himself could
have answered in six years. Here is par
tial report of conversation that took place
between him and his mother:
Mamma, what is that building2"
"a machine shop"
"What is machine shop?"
"A place where they make machinery" 7"
"What kind of machinery"
'The kind used in MILL"
"What kind of mill?"
"Oh, any kind. Don't talk SO much"

one minute and 40 seconds. Then:
"What bridge is this?"

'What is quiet?"
"Still."
"Why must keep still?"
Because you attract too much attention.

SIS the water still-quiet, mean?"
'No, it is running just like your tongue"
"What makes it run?"
sit can't help it."
"Why don't it all run out OF the river?"
"More runs in."
"Where from?"
By this time all the passengers were so
much interested in the youngsters talk
that all eyes were upon him. The mother saw
it, became embarrassed, and wouldn't open
her lips, although the fire of questions con-
tinued steadily until the car reached the post
Office. If that boy doesn't become wise
man it won't be his fault, but that of his
instructors.

4 PROFESSIONAL TATTooER.

He Makes $4,000 Year Marking Pictures
and Designs ON the Body.
/. A Hong Kong journal gives an account
of Japanese who has lately set up in that
colony as professional tattooer of pictures
and designs on the body. In room deco
rated with fans, hanging pictures and
scrolls, the visitor or patient is received. In
a conspicuous place is hung notice in the
following words: II do not business if
fuddled." Sample books are first produced
for inspection and selection; they are filed
with colored drawings of dragons, birds,
insects and scenes-comic and serious. At
the bottom is written the cost of tattooing
each, the prices varying from about 50 for
three butterflies to an elaborate group
for 800.
The operator himself was tattooed all over
his body with groups of bright flowers here,
the conventional Japanese girls head there;
q female figure with long flowing robes
wound round one arm from the shoulder to
the wrist, while on the other was dragon,
with every scale carefully shaded. On the
breast was picture of the god of storms,
with inscriptions in Japanese characters,
and similar representations all over the
body, the hands alone being free.
The apparatus consists merely of small
box containing slab of black Chinese ink,
some vermillion and dark red powders, and
diswerful of penholders, on the ends of
which were fixed tiny bunehes of needles,
numbering from three to 30. The customer
chooses his design from the pattern books,
the operator draws it on the part desired.

arm of an English prince, and, in Kioto,
was engaged for a whole month in repro

For this he was paid about $500. He has
also tattooed English ladies, and seems to be
proud of one picture, which was

the matter, as the pigment is too deep-seated
