s.casties in the Air.

"Castles in the Air" the comic opera
now playing to crowded houses at the
Broadway Theatre, New York, is destined
to enjoy a long run at that play house.
The production is the joint work of
Charles Alfred Byrne ana Gustaye Ker-
ker. The DeWoif Hopper Opera Bouffe
Company, presenting Castles in the
Air" is a thoroughly competent comic
opera organization, and includes such
| eminent artists as DeWolf Hopper, Mar
ion Manola. Thomas @. Seabrooke, Della
| Fox and Alfred Klein. The chorus is re-
markable for effective voices and pretty
| faces, and has manifestIy received the
special care of Max Freeman, under
whose direction rehearsals were con-
Quoted. The scenery, which is admir-
able, pictures the public square at st.
Pierre, Island of Martinique. w. l.: also
the house and garden OF Cabolastra, a
wealthy citizen of the island, where the
plot of the opera is laid. Castles in the
Air" is particularly rich in point OF
music, aud contains a number of gems
which have already become popular.

Counting in Africa.

Marrying among the Wa-Teita, as
with most African tribes, is simply a
question of purchasing the bride from
her parents. The price of one of those
oleaginous and bead bejeweled dam
sells presumably beads and alb is three
TO four COWS.
The COW damsel, in accordance with
an ancient custom of the tribe, affect
ing to flee from the contamination
of her own happiness, runs away
and hides in the hut of some rela-
tive. Collecting his friends, and armed
with the search warrant of time hon
ored custom, the groom then enters
and searches house after house where
he fancies his bride may be concealed.
At length the shrinking maiden is
discovered amid much merriment, and
is drawn triumphantly from her hid
ing place. Four of the groom's assist
ants, seizing each an arm or leg, then
carry her off to her new home.-L0n-

-
Inspector ssAlec'' Williams Of the
New York police force had for a long
time an unsavory reputation as the
clubbing captain of the old Twenty
ninth precinct. But with all his vehe-
mence, the Inspector enjoys a sound
shrewd common sense which we
should be glad to see in the heads
of patent reformers and legislative
cranks. The Inspector was before the
Fassett Investigating Committee yes
terday. His evidence touched chiefly
upon the regulation of public morals,
and he stated his views with his GUS
tomary f~rankness.
To people Of the Anthony Comstock
stamp, the Inspectors ideas are prob
ably offensive; but, to those who take
the world as they find it, they will
commend themselves as rational and
practical. There are certain evils, he
says in substance, which seem to
be inseparable from humanity in its
social structure-he phrases it in sim
pier Anglo-Saxon than that, but that
is what he means. There is no use
in trying to ignore these evils, no
practical use in trying to drive them
out of existence; no use in prosecuting
any class on account of them; no use
in driving them into holes and cor
ners, for the evil will persist in spite
of everything that can be done, and
the more its bond slaves are bounded
and prosecuted the more they will be
forced to HIDE in the crowd, to become
part Of the general life of the commu-
nifty, and therefore they will the more
leaven it with their own impurity.
The Inspectors theory favors the
localization of vice, its enclosure
within walls, its seclusion from the
observation of the public as far as
possible. Give it q habitat of its
own, he argues, so that it may not
invade those OF responsibility. For
this reason the Inspector opposesraids
on so-called disorderly houses, con-
cert gardens, and other resorts of
questionable character, SO long as
they do not disturb the public peace
or offend public decency. 1t is better
that the people who frequent such
places, he says, should be kept off the
streets, than that all public places
that they resort to should be sup
pressed.
In this age Of Phariseeism the
greater number of those who cordi-
ally agree with the Inspector will be
afraid to come out in support of his
views, but it would be we'll if those
whose duty it is to care for the public
morals would study what police
officers and other practical men have
to say on such subjects before adopt
ing the views of cranks and theorists
or Of those who are too pure them
selves-as we believe many are-to
have any adequate realization of the
nature and conditions of vice.

The speaker was a well-known ply
stefan and he was speaking of the
habit which was thought to have
gone out of fashion, but which seems
to have become prevalent again.
If the girls who affect the habit
only knew that it ruined the eyes and
injuriously affected the whole ner-
vous system they would, perhaps,
cease to cling to it," continued the
speaker. s"The practice of chewing
gum is more general than most peo-
pie suppose, and is really injurious to
those who affect it. !.
ssYou ask how is this? / will tell
you. The muscles of the jaw r con-
nected with the spine, and from the
spine delicate nerves branch out in all
directions. Some of these extend to
the eyes and are known as the optic
nerves. 1t you will notice a person
eating you will see a palpitation OF
the temples, which is caused by the
working of the optic nerves. These
nerves are very sensitive. LII over
worked by an incessant motion OF the
Jaws they become weak and shrunken
and the eyesight is impaired, for
the shrinkage of the nerves
draws the eye back into the socket
and as a result the pupil of the eye be-

weak, its color changes and eye glasses
become necessary.
This may seem to be a serious way

not. Ridicu@ing the habit of chewing

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

The last legislature submitted two
amendments to the constitution about
which there is little said. and it is doubt
full if either Is understood 10y the average
citizen. One of these amendments pro-
poses TO increase the number of supreme
Judges from three to seven. The other
proposes that the legislature may draw
pay for ninety days instead of for fifty,
as is the case now.
Kansas has a great time trying to tin
ker up her constitution. For years
amendments after amendments have
been offered to the people, some Of which
have been adopted and others rejected.
But still that fundamental law done
seem TO size up to the state. As for the
the first amendment alluded to, we will
pass over the necessities which they say
demand it. and say a word about the
latter. The legislature can sit rs long as
a majority of its members may choose.
under the present status, but can only
draw pay for fifty days. As a legislature
costs two or three thousand dollars
per day, and rs every tax payer
and every vital business inter
est Of the state is made uneasy from
the day that body meets until finally ad-
iouned. we are of the opinion that fifty
days out of every two years with posi-
bic extra sessions. Is enough Of suffering
and threatened disaster. But that Is not
the strongest objection. The great
trouble i'm Kansas TODAY, and the rebel
hon within the ranks Of the Republican
party can be traced. for a large part, 10
too much legislation. Restrictive and
complicated laws and numerous officials
and expensive administration of public
affairs growing out of too much legisla-
ton. make mp the bottom side of much
of the discomfort of the people. Every

created and salerie, provided until the

THE TRUTH.

The following is one of the best and
most truthful things that ever appeared
in the Atchison Globe:
There Is no class of men who know so
little about human nature, and no class
that ought to understand it so well, as
the body of men who go to make up the
ministerial profession. When we con-
slider that the majority of ministers
spend much of their time IN their llb-
raries, studying theology and preparing
sermons. we do not wonder that the
teachings of the pulpit have such meagre
influence on the world. 1t cannot be
claimed but that the majority of minis
tiers are aspirants for fame. both literary
and Oratorical. Why do ministers ignore
their proper sphere, which Is not that of
literature, but rather that OF phlian-
thropy? The minister who wishes
to benefit mankind must relinqulsh
all ambition TO be an eloquent
speaker. He is unworthy his pro
fession who. through the guise of a
Christian teacher, seeks To cheer him
self with the glory ef his literary or orat-
zeal ability, The time which ministers
devote to the preparation of elaborate
discOurseS Is worse than thrown away,
50 far as any good resulting therefrom
Is concerned. Men must be taught by
those who understand men, and not by
the eloquence or logic, or rhetoric. or or
atorv, of those who know everything OF
books. and nothing of humanity. No
minister Is fitted to ill the position he
| has assumed who is not thoroughly con-
versant with every phase of human ma
ture. He should study its anatomy as a
physician does that of the body. He
should learn the weakness of men, ana
the strength of their temptations. lie
should mingle with every class and con-
dition of men. He should come into
daily contact with crime, with suffering.
with the iniuuities TO which men are ex-
posed. that he may battle with and for
and among them. He must learn the
actual conditions of human life by per
sonal experience in his relations with the
world. Those who presume to teach the
principles of Christianity must do as
/ Christ did. They must identify them
selves with the sinners, and labor 10 up
/ | # them by standing at their side. and
not on a platform erected above their
| heads. The ministers of today are, IN
! too MANY cases, working for self-eXulta-
! ton through the merits of their literary
productions, rather than seeking 20 ben
| etit humanity, which they do not and
can not understand as lowly and Igno-
rant individuals incapable of graspIng
! hope or comfort from the lofty breath
| ings of elegant theological oratory.
