The New York World, commenting
upon the electoral qualification in the new
Constitution proposed for Mississippi, adj
mits that at will be easy for election officers,
who must, of course. be the judges of each
voters qualification, to apply one test of
understanding to white illiterates and
quite another to blacks. The ability to
read is measurable, but the question how
far a man understands what is read to him
is much more difficult, and it is at
least possible for Interpretation in such a
case to be very unfair. 1t is for the white
people Of Mississippi to see to it that no
unfair advantage is taken under this sin
gularly vague and elastic provision If they
do this conscientiously, the new require
ment viii secure the State against the
danger of ignorant rule. If the clause is
enforced with impartiality, it will end the
race conflict; if it is unfairly applied, it
will only intensity that conflict"
But does not the World know that it is
intended to enforce the clause unfairly
1t was openly stated by the originator,
that it was intended to control the elections
and repress the vote of the freedman.
The Convention applauded that expression
and there followed many speeches favoring
the clause, for the one reason that by it
the negro would be DISTRACTED etfectnaIly
in his march to the polls.

An Unwritten Romance.

Amalie and Edward loved the first time
they met. They found that both had
great ambitions.
II feel" said Edward, "as if l could
master all happy philosophy. l shall blot
out all blackness. | shall prove that the
good always triumphs. | shall make men
happier :. =.
"And l." returned Amalie, "feel as if l
could interpret the hidden meaning of
everything that God has ever made"
So they were married. and they de-
termined to Immediately begin great ca
reer.
''Fiction must be the medium by which
we will convey our message to the world
decided Amalie.
"Of course" acquiesced Edward. "Fic-
ton is the handmade of truth"
"Fiction," said Amalie, sis the torch
which illumines the dark chambers of
fact"
Fiction" chorused Edward, ais the
chemical resolvent which married the in
soluble quantities of fact. But for the ex-
plantations of fiction, life would be mys-
tery-history would be paradox
Therefore" said Amalie, " fiction

acter that makes plot Man is the great
est study of man. And it is man that
makes circumstance He is not the
creature of it, but the creator of it."
"Ah," cried Edward Indignantly, show
can you be so mistaken? 1t is circum-
stances that makes man! How could you
have Washington without your revolu-
ton ?"
"There you are wrong" said Amalie,
"for it would not have been possible to
have had revolution without Washing

"a novel;" said Edward sententiously,
"is plot. The art of writing novel lies
in showing how the plot developed char

''The art of writing novel;" said ANA

how the unfolding of soul caused events

DO you know what you would do with
your ideas" cried Edward. You would
take away inspiration. You would SUBJ

81 would paint nature" replied Amalie.
"Realism was created by God. do not
know who made romanticism. | supposed
it was Walter Scott"
They argued this question for twenty
years. Then Amalie died, and Edward
spent his life in regretting her. Neither
of them ever wrote a line.-Pihsburg Dis

.IncIso i'm Church.

A pet monkey attended the services at
a Catholic church IN Savannah on a recent
Sunday. Jocko looked around IN conf
cal way and jumped upon a window. He
sat there for moment, attracting the at
tention of everybody around. He looked
up at the choir and measured the distance
between his perch and the gallery, and
for an instant seemed to have mind to go
up higher among the fair and sweet sing
ers. But it was too long jump, and
Jocko sprang down on the back of pew.
Then he started up toward the altar, skip
ping from pew to pew. The ladies hur-
riedly go. out of his way. One young man
ducked his head to let the monkey go over
him, but Jocko lit squarely on his back
and startled the worshiper. Jocko was
startled, too, and he kept on going until
he reached the chancel. A flying leap
took him on the altar rail, along which he
skipped all the way across the church.
Father Quinlan paused and the sexton ran
up with long pole and poked at the in
truder. Jocko startled back across the
altar-rall and went on run. From the
rail he jumped to pew back and up into
a window and then out, to the great relief

SINCE the agitation in favor Of uniform
ity of marriage and divorce laws has taken
such hold upon public thought, why not
consider the desirability of uniformity in
some other things also /? For instance, the
late Franklin B. Hough, who made the
noteworthy report to Congress on forestry
in 1877. and who was at one time Superin-
teudent of the New York census, shortly
before his death published monograph in
which he showed that in the United States
we have four standard bushels for corn and
rye. five for barley and seven for oats and
buckwheat. Thus, 1000 bushels Of barley
in Kansas, at 48 pounds to the bushel, be-
come ]. 500 bushels in New Orleans, where
80 pounds is the standard rate. So, too,
/ 600 bushels Of rye in Kansas, at Sc pounds,
become 1.75O bushels in New Orleans. A
similar discrepancy in the units Of meas.
urement exists for slaves, lumber and
shingles. He found gallon Of milk in
Vermont was 23l cubic inches, while in
New Hampshire 2S2 inches are required.
The Vermont gallon was the English wine
gallon. while that of New Hampshire was
the ale or beer gallon. Some of these con-
a;cts have been recouciled, and quite
largely the pound ayoreupois has become
the ss-raard for most commercial transac-

OI1YE TnoRNE M111ER says:

There are many things to commend crems-
ton aside from the pretty Indian fancy that fire
the purifier, completes the deliverance of the
soul from its long time prison OF flesh, and by
the smoke and ascending heat forms path on
which the spirit ascenGs to its home in the
skies, or, as one tribe has it, the soft, warm
chariot conveys the released and purified soul
toward the sun The cemetery
appeals more strongly to the sentiment than
does the crematOry. 1 find no fault with senti-
ment but l say it will more appropriately cling
around an urn containing the pure ashes OF
what was once loved form than about the I'M
mentionable and unimaginable horrors covered
by our flowers.
But when We pass from sentiment to
sanitary science cremation appeals with
greatly more force to our reason than
burial ever can. The former speaks to US
of uncontaminated earth, of assurance
against menace to the living by the rotting
of the dead. 1t convinces the reasonable
man that by burial disease germs are prop
agated and waters poisoned that the air
is laden by burial with enemies of life, and
that the sleeping place of the dead is the
breeding spot of many of the Ills of living
flesh.

The Force of Habit.

After shopping for the greater part of a
recent afternoon, well-known Brooklyn
lady, with letter in her hand, entered q
drug store. She asked for and received a
postage stamp.
Anything else to-day, MADAME in
quired the clerk.
"No, l think not" she replied; 'please
it to the house"
IL beg pardon, ma'am," stammered
the clerk, "but what is it you wish to have
delivered?'
"Why, the-the-" Then suddenly re-
freshing her mind, she quickly added:
"Oh well, never mind it.p she took the
postage stamp and walked out.
The clerk afterward said he had never
seen better illustration of the force of
habit.-Ness York Herald.

EDUCATIONAL COMMISSIONER Gull
FoYLE, of Brooklyn, n. y has espoused
the cause of Mr. Cusack, the Paul Pry
who discovered the immodesty of Long
fellows master poem, "The Building of
the Ship Everybody outside, and most
of the people within Brooklyn, now
laugh at Cusack and GuilfoSle. But the
latter prude replies, 81 will remove my
children from the public schools rather
than have them contaminated by the
reading of such poem"
OF course that settles it, for the school
system never could endure the withdrawal
of Mr.. Guilfoyle's children. However,
the Commissioner will probably gain no
victory if his children are retained and
Longfellow is sacrificed, for it viii be safe
to wager that every last one of the little
Guilfoyles will. at the earliest opportu-
nifty, hunt up and read THE Building of
the Ship" And the intellectual exercise
will make them better Guilfoyles, unless,
indeed, the paternal Guilfoyle is so re-
aected in his progeny that its betterment
is an impossibility.

THE Riverside Press, published in
Riverside, San Bernardino county, says /;
so long as we remain part of California
it is proper that our productions should be
counted to the States credit" We beg
leave to assure the southern editor that
his section VIII remain part of California
as long as California remains a State. He
is, however, entirely right in his conclu-
sion that the productions of his section
should be counted to the States credit
This is obvious, since San Bernardino,
Riverside and their environs are part of
California. The sooner our brethren OF
the editorial profession in the southern
part of the State abandon the feeling that
their stay in this State is transient, the
better it viii be for their general reputa-
ton for common sense.

to improve. He chartered gayly and APP

much noise in the room with his young

Then the parents, puzzled and culver

regarded the doctors orders, and hastily
opened the door.

But he was too late. They had seen it !
