Mr.. nluck-Say, Marian, now that
your uncle has left you a little money,
you just go and buy all the property you
can get hold of in Frogtown. The people
there are selling out for almost nothing,
and moving back to the city.
Mrs. Hluck-What are they selling out
for?
"'Cause they're nearly eaten up every
summer with flies. The flies there is
perfectly awful-no standin' 'em at all;
they just depopulate the town"
"Huhl Then why do you want me tc
buy there, I'd like to know"
'Tn tell you, Mariah. You know I'm
the unluckiest teller that ever lived, don't
your
81 should say so. II you'd dig for
water you wouldn't find anything but
dry rock till ye struck fire, err came out
on some Chinese desert. / do believe il
you'd buy stocks that was bound to rise
in a month. the world nd come to an
end before the month was out"
Jesse; that's me. Well, you go buy
property in Frogtown. You'll be buyin

Mr.. E. G.. Dunnell, the New York
Times correspondent, writes from Poca-
tallo. Idaho. concerning Idaho's chances
OF admission as a tate. He says: 1T is
with a population estimated at about
100000 by Governor Stevenson that
Idaho is asking for statehood. 1t will go
to Washington in December to exhibit its
constitution and demand admission in
company with Wyoming and New Mexico.
Its delegates will undoubtedly be sup
ported by an energetic booming" lobby
Of representative citizens, who viii make
the most of Idaho's possibilities of great
ness. But they will 6pd that there will
be a serious opposition to the admission
of Idaho as state. That opposition will
be plainly indicated in the constitution OF
the proposed state, a constitution con.
structed with the declared purpose of dis
franchising about 20, 900 to $4,000 OF the
population exhibited by the territory as a
justification OF its desire to become. a full
fedged state" If MI. Dunnell's ~conclus-
ions be correct Wyoming constitution
makers arc wise in avoiding a similar is
sue.

The connections of the oldest tradi-
lions are afforded first by language and
legends, for the study of which no mu-
seums are required. Next to these in
value are material objects, particularly
useful ones. with which are associated
antique designs and mythic-sometimes
superstitious-meanings, and which also
in their formS decorations and applica-
lions give very definite views of their
age. II is the purpose Of the projected
museum OF costumes and hAsehold
goods TO collect these objects-not the
only purpose, for there are many stages
in the historical development of peoples
which have left their traces in dress and
furnishings, but the principal one. A
museum Of costumes and household
goods will, therefore, close the gaps be-
tween chronological and prehistoric mu-
seums on the one side and between eth
biological and historical museums on the
other. 1t will do for our own people
what chronological museums have done
in relation to foreign peoples, partic-
ularly to savages; 1t will seek out OBJ
jects of the present as historical museums
have recovered them from the tombs
and dwelling places of primitive times,
and will give for the common life and
conduct Of the peoples what historical
museums have furnished as to their &c
clesiastical and courtly life.-Rudolph
Virohow in Popular Science Monthly.

THERE is one feature of the Wyoming
constitution, SAYS the Omaha Bee, which
merits special commendation. 1t is the
provision which prohibits the importation
of armed men to suppress domestic insur
r%ection. The effect Of this would be to
exclude from Wyoming, whenever 1t
shall become a state, armed bodies of
Pinkerton or other detectives such as in
wade the states whenever there is a con-
test between employers aud their em
ploycs, overawIng the people and fire.
q%uently committing the gravest outrages.
The people of Wyoming are content to
rely upon the authorities OF their own
creation for their protection, and in order
to be sure that outside mercenaries
shall not be brought among them they
have built the barrier that shah keep
them out in the organic law. 1t is moi
the least creditable part OF the work done
by the constitutional convention.
