Trufae-Hunsing With Pigs.

Speaking of pigs reminds me that lately
went truffle-hunting with one. says Paris let
ter to the Boston Transcript.
It was not near Paris. for there are no truffies
hereabouts, but far to the south, in the region
of the Dordogne.
The pig was about the ugliest and most de-
praved-looking beast OF it's kind that can be
lmagined-one with a stiited back and shock
tngly exaggerated nose, having the curve of a
pump-handln, but, like many human beings
who are not beautiful, it was exceedingly intel
ltgent. Its greediness, of course made it SO.
but greediness is not always a corrective to
stupidity
The truffie- hunter-in- chief was the pigs
master, and as far as appearances went there
was really not much difference between them
He had also bent back and nose that seemed
to have been designed for no other purpose
than that OF turning up truff1es
Nevertheless, it was the pig that did all the
digging work, the mans part of the business
being 70 take care that the cryptogram did not
get swallowed on the spot
To guard against this accident he had filed
MS pocket with maize, few grains of which
the animal accepted in exchange for q truffle
Once or twice the sybaritic instincts of the
beast were too strong for its judgment, and it
ate the fungus before the man had tune to
snatch Il. but blows upon the nose with a stick
counterbAlanced the satisfaction thus derived.
and the pig being reasonable animal soon
came to the conclusion that IL was better to
accept the maize and leave the truffle.

She Ended the Tug OF War

The Shotwell Street school has caught tie
tug-of war Infection. few days ago when the
bell rang at O'Clock for the pupils to come 10.
says the san Francisco Chronicle, the teachers
found there were no boys 70 come, and, on look
ing into the yard, the cause was at ouce seen
Some Of tire boys had procured clothes line
and organized TWO tug-Of-war teams. little
before O'Clock the referee. a boy from tire
eighth grade, gave the signal 10 pull. The

worked considerably harder than they

bowling and yelling, now cheering on the team
OF Their respective choice. and now hooting In
oeriS,on AZ the opposing one. For some time
the battle ragged furiOusly. One team would
draw IT'S opponents a few inches, only TO lose
the advantage again. Finally one Of the teams
for several Of the smaller boys, who had bet
hundreds OF mythical dollars on the team of
their choice, and 50, with one accord, about a
dozen OF them caught on TO the rope on their
side and added their strength to that of their
friends
OF course the friends of the other team OBJ
tected, but as the excitement was too intense
70 allow much talking they simply hitched a
few more boys on 70 the other side and went at
II again. The rest Of the boys than began TO
take sides. Some hitched on one end some on
the other, and when the rope was so full that
tnere was not room for another fist, Jimmy
would catch hold of Johnny's waist and Dick
Woulu toke tommy Dy the coat tail and
manage to do little pulling any way.
Ihs whole male portion Of the school had
hold OF the rope, and amid the pulling and the
yelling the O'Clock bell rang The boys did
not mind it, though, and the tug Of war went
on regardless OF whether school Kept or not.
The teachers had q different notion however
and three or four Of them came into the yard
and attempted to stop the contest. The bows
objected TO draw except one over the line,
and they did not believe Ia a no-contear so as
they had numbers on their side the boys disre-
garded the commands of their teachers and
pulled away as If there was not teacher In the
world. Things were getting serious when q
quick-witted teacher solved the problem Step
ping up TO the middle of the rope she quietly
took out pocket knife and at the moment of a
terrible strain cut the rope
In an instant there was a terrible time The
rope snapped with a loud crack, and the pull
became draw. Boys flew In every direction,
and piled up one on the other until the quick
w1tted teacher became afraid that manslaughter
or boyslaughter was the result Of her effort to
restore discipline.
No one was hurt. however. and the boys dis
tangled themselves and fled slowly up to their
class rooms

Sportive citizens of the Pennsylvania
town OF Johnstown have been having fun
with the local Vidocqs. Probably there
are not within the boundaries of the Key
stone commonwealth two more irate and
thoroughly Disguised detectives than q pair
now located at Johnstown but liable to
emIgrate at any time. Last Saturday night
they looked down into tailor shop through
askylight. There they identified a half dozen
well-known business men playing cards.
Apparently they used IS gold pieces as the
smallest amount bet. But it happened that
the offenders were playing only with brass
buttons for chips. AS the officers had no
authority to break in the doors and as the
players refused to open for them a quiet
game Of freeze out began. Being already
out the officers did most of the freezing.
Meanwhile the players guyed them to the
limit When the Western Union telegraph
operator came around TO open the building
in which both the shop and the telegraph
offices are located the detectives demanded
that he admit them. Once inside the oper.
ator said he wouldn't mind a game himself
and refused the officers admittanca By {
O'Clock a great crowd had gathered about
the place cheering both officers and players
Finally the police secured Abundance by a
ruse. They proudly marched thofr men of
and each gave deposit for a hearing
which is not likely to take place. Still the
detectives are not happy. Nor are they
doing any boasting about the performance
since they discovered that it was only g
dummy game with buttons.

Mr. spriuger.e Tarin Policy.

~ ~ - SCI LdEAn N--Cg"
Mr. Springer has already decided wha,
sort Of tariff legislation he would recon-
mend IL he should be so fortunate as TO be
appointed chairman Of the ways and means
committee. He is never backward in ex-
pressing his views. While be is not great
student and does not go very deeply into
any subject be knows something about a
great many things. As chairman of the
ways and means committee and leader of
the House he would not increase his reputa-
ton as a statesman, but it is probable that
be would fill the position acceptsbly.
His idea is that the House should not IN
dertake a general revision Of the tariff, but
should pass number of bills putting such
articles on the free list as would give the
people the greatest relief. II the House
should take up the whole subject of
the tariff its time would be occupied
almost exclusively with it for number OF
months without any prospect of accom-
plishing anything. The republicans are not
going TO permit the Mckinley tariff to be
changed. They have control of the Senate,
and tariff bill passed by the House would
get no farther than the Senate.
II the House should pass several tariff
bills, putting certain articles, chiefly raw
materials. on the free list. il would show the
country very clearly the purpose of the
Democratic party and would bring strongly
to the attention of the country its tariff
policy. The republican Senate would, of
course, refuse to pass any Of these bills, and
the issue between the two parties would be
made as clearly as II a bill making general
revision Of the tariff were passed by the
House and rejected by the Senate.
MIR. Springer's views seem to be common
sense ones. and may not be essentially DIFF
ferent from those entertained by O ma ority
of the democratic representatives.
Whether the views of Mr.. Mills are diff
ferent from those Of Mr.. Springer is a
question concerning which there is no re-
liable information as yet. 1t Is reasonably
certain that he will be the chairman Of the
ways and means committee If he will accept
the position. The impression seems to be,
| however, that he has determined
not to play a prominent part in
the present congress. His friends say that
he thinks he would not be supported in fol-
| lowing out his ideas in the matter Of tariff
legislation, aud that he prefers therefore to
take back seat
tits probable that the tariff policy outlined
by Mr.. Springer is the one that will be
followed. 1t would not be wise to waste
time in useless tariff discussion. If the
House should not pass bill making a gen.
eral revision of the tariff the country would
\ understand the reason Tha Democratic
party will not fail to relieve the people Of the
burdens imposed upon them by the tariff as
soon as it has the power to do so.

Shocked the Red Mans svstem.

When the electric telegraph was first intro.
duced into Chile. says the Santiago Times, a
strstagem was Fesorted to in order to guard the
posts and wires against damage on the part of
the Araucanian Indians and maintain the CON
nection between the strongholds on the frontier,
There were ct the time between forty and
fifty captive Indians In the Chilean camp. Gen.
Pinto called them together, and, pointing TO the
telegraph wires, said:
"Do you see those wires?"
Eyes, general"
II want you to remember not to 60 near or
touch them. for IL you do your hands will be
held and you viii be unable to get away"
The Indians smiled increduousy Then the
general made them each in succession take hold
of the wire at both ends of an electric bat.

claimed
Il command you to let 20 the wirel"
II can't; my hands are benumbedl" cried
each Indian.
The batEery was then stopped. Not long
after the general restored them to liberty, Civ
ing them strict mjunctipns to keep the secret
and not betraY II to their countrymen.
This had the desired effect for, as might be
expected, the experience was related in the
strictess confidence to every man in the tribe,
and the telegraph has ever since remained un.

Sensational features are by no means
lacking in the London divorce suit of Kicker
Florence st. John. But an additional
feature of unusual popularity was fur
nished by the jurors striking for more pay
after they had heard nearly all OF the cases
before they would agree to finish the trial
They got il and continued. Possibly no
other country but England could have
furnished such singular occurrence. Stin
she boasts of the pretentious dignity of her
courts in which such farce could be en-
acted. In almost any other country they
would have been locked up for contempt OF
court At the same time we must admit
that sitting tamely and listening all day TO
such disgusting recital of vulgar intrigues
and beastly exhibitions Of temper was really
worth more than the law allows for such
services. Yet every good citizen owes
something to his country ard should occa-
slonally submit TO disagreeable ordeals for
the sake Of duty. Evidently that jury
was not OF the class who pay TO see St
John kick.

Mr.. Porter's Scheme.

About the first thing to which the atsen-
tion of the Senate was called. after the new
senator's had been sworn in, was a report
from Mr.. Porter. superintendent of the
census, recommending the establishment Of
a permanent census bureau. The report
was accompanied by bill containing Mr.
Porter's ideas of the kind of q census bureau
the government should have.
Mr.. Porter evidently believes that delays
are dangerous. But would he not have
shown better judgment if be had carried bis
report and bill to the other end OF the capi-
toll and had il introduced into the Houses
The House will look out for expenditures
during this congress, and it is not likely
that it will agree to tue establishing Of any
more bureaus unless it can be shown that
there is on urgent necessity for them.
Mr.. Porter has already spent about
100000 on the census, and he wants
S2,O0O.OOO to complete what he calls his
work" He will have to make most ex-
cellent showing for his bureau 60 get that
S2,OOO.OO0. There IS a pretty general i'm
preston that his work" has already cost a
great deal more than it is worth.
Mr. Porter's census does not give satisfac-
ton. 1t is charged that il Is very imper-
feet aud In many respects unreliable. Mr..
Porter will have a chance, doubtless, to say
something In its defense, but it Is difficult
to see what he can say that wilt satisfy oon-
gress He has already said great deal in
the public prints. but be has not succeeded
in establishing confidence IN it. When the
HOUSE gets through with asking him about
his census work" it is probable that he will
not feel much like urging the passage Of his
permanent census bureau bill.
There is. of course, something TO be said
in behalf Of a permanent census bureau,
but 1t Is a question whether such an insti-
tuition would be of much benefit. However
unpretentious it might be in the beginning,
aud however small the cost of it for
the first few years might be, it would be
steadily enlarged until its employees would
be numbered by the hundreds That is
the history Of about all the bureaus.
In oil the departments at Washington there
ara great many things done which are OF
no benefit whatever. It would be
good thing Cor congress to appoint COM
mission TO inquire into the affairs Of the diff
ferent departments and find out how much
improbable and utterly useless work is
done and to what extent the expenses of the
departments could be reduced without en-
barrassing the government. The country
would not suffer If permanent census bu>
reau should not be established yet awhile.

There seems TO be question of veracity
between William r. LAidlaw, Jr., John
Bloodgood's private secretary, aud Russell
Sage, growing out Of the bomb throwing
incident In Mr.. Sage's office. According to
the accounts in the New York papers Mr..
Laidlaw who is still in the hospital suffer-
ing from the injuries caused by the ex-
plosion, says that when he was about
entering Mr.. Sage's Office the latter grasped
his hand and tried to drag him into his
private Office, and that when the bomb was
dropped Mr.. Sage shielded himself behind
him, thus saving himself from the
full force Of the explosion. Mr.. Sage de-
clares that Mr.. Laidlaw is mistaken. He
says he did not grasp Mr.. Laidlaw by the
hand and did not invite him into his Office.
AS the only witness, the bomb thrower, is
dead, the question of veracity is likely to
remain unsettled.
