 The eyes of the little questioner open wide and there is a perplexed and dissatis- fled look on her face saying plainly that she does not understand what you mean by saying that mamma is gone," that ''God took her." that she is ''up in heaven nown
 You try tearfully to make it plain to the child and to have her understand that she will see mamma again "some time" but again the little voice says with pitiful pet ulancy: 'But I want my mamma now, and I'm going to hunt until find her"
 What a sorrowful, disappointing search it is. It ends in tears and heartache. and it is long before even children understand that mamma will come no more to the lit tie ones calling vsinly for her. Every thing is full of touches and suggestions of the mother who is gone. There are things that make her seem so real, so near. And so the baby zoos hunting for mamma.

Tales of Life at School.

Mir. Barker, an Englishman, has a fund of amusing stories of school life which the Pall Mall Gazette thinks inexhaustible. During the past two years he has written several magazine articles, delivered many lectures and produced more than one book. Yet here he is again as fresh and interest ing as ever His latest work upon the subject of humor at school has just been published by MT. Arrowsmith, under the comprehensive title of "Our Boys and Girls; Their Naivete, Humor and Wit" We cannot give our readers a better idea of the nature of the book than by quoting few of the stories which it contains "A Ramble in Park" was the subject once set by MT. Barker to his composition class, and the essay which follows shows how one of his pupils treated it:
 "'We got near to some large water. It was very large and still. We sat down upon 0 seat where there was an old man reading book and young woman asleep. The young woman was very poor. One of was not. picked her bonnet from off the sand and put it on her shoulder as was sticking up. We then walked about 8 long time, looking at the people in the boats and follering the swans. Then we went to where there was a lot of rich peo- pie riding in carriages and on the top of horses. I looked most at the boys and girls on their ponies. The boys had nice red faces and big white collars, and nice, straight new trousers without any holes. The girls had got on such lot of hair, and it tossed up and down and round like
 as their ponies did. The girls sat with

HUNTING FOR LOST MAMMA.
Little Tots Who Cannot Understand
 That Mamma is Gone Forever.

Little Tots Who Cannot Understand
 That Mamma is Gone Forever.
 From the Detroit Free Press.1
 The sorrowful songs have been sung, the tender prayers have been said, the last sad words have been uttered, all that love and sympathy and tenderness could suggest has been done for the wife and mother calmly resting in her satin lined coffin un- der masses of beautiful flowers.
 The mourners have gone out with ach- ing hearts and tear dimmed eyes. The hearse moves slowly away and the kindly neighbor women left in charge of the house go about softly putting things in order and speaking in an undertone awed still by the majesty of death, although the one it has claimed has been carried forth. There is still that indefnable something in the de- serted rooms that tells of the dread visitor.
 Suddenly the door of an upper room opens and a sweet, childish voice says pleadingly:
 'T want my mamma, I'm going to find my mamma"
 "No, no, dear," says the nurse, with a suggestion of tears in her voice, while she furtively wipes her eyes; "come with me, like good little girl"
 "No, I want my mamma I haven't seen my own mamma for two, free-oh, most four days. Pm going to find my mamma"
 ''But, baby, dear mamma isn't-she isn't-here."

THE ARID LANDS.

Within the arid lands of the West the average annual rainfall varies from two to twenty inches. Twenty-eight inches is needed, and irrigation has in many places been resorted to to supply the deficiency, with excellent results. MT. Nimmo, acting as special agent of the Agricultural de- partment, has been examining the arid lands in Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Wash ington and Oregon. The chief feature of his report is the recommendation that irri- gation be left to the states themselves rather than to the national government, which advice seems to be in accord with the sentiment of most people to be affected directly by any measures looking to the improvement of the arid region. MT. Nimmo advances what is certainly a strong argument in favor of his proposition when he says that the needs of different localities through out the area are wholly unlike and that for this reason intimate knowledge of the situation, such as congress could not possess, is necessary to satisfactory legis- laClon on Cne SuoJect. moreoNer, inosI ol | the States and Territories with arid lands have retained constitutional control of their rivers and smaller streams, and since these lands, owned as they are by the gov ernment, are practically useless without
 the water supply, why should they not be transferred to the control of the several
 States in which they are situated, and this
 development through irrigation be en.
 trusted to the authority in whose posses
 sion the essential waterways now area
 ! This is reasonable. It is evident that there should be some well directed and
 comprehensive plan of dealing with these
 lands. Private enterprise has done some
 thing, but more is needed.

 An amusing incident happened in the French War office recently. In looking over the records it was discovered that Monsieur Manduit, an officer, was to cele- brate the hundredth anniversary of his birth on certain day. Orders were sent to the garrison where Manduit was record ed as being on duty to celebrate the day in a military fashion. Upon investigation, however, it was learned that Manduit had died in 1875. By mistake his name had not been taken from the records. A simi- lar mistake occurred during Boulanger's administration. Orders were issued to pay military honors to Brigadier- General Mar ion de Gaia on the one hundredth anniver- sary of his birth. Great was the surprise of an innocent shopkeeper when on the day appointed company of soldiers and a military band drew up before a house which was said to be the home of the gen. eral. But the general, it was afterward fore the eventful day. As in the recent incident, the-clerks had forgotten to erase the officers name from the records.
 Life in the German army is not very pleasant, for the privates at least. Hein- rich Lsfebre is the son of wealty inspec- tor of insurance companies in Frankfort on-the Main. After having been graduated from the Frankfort high school he entered, as one year volunteer, the mounted battery of the twenty-ffth regiment of artillery. He was directly under Lieut.. Freiherr von Rossman. Throughout his service he was subjected by Rossman to the most degrad- only as ''pig," "dog," "ass," or by name rehecting on the honesty of his percentage. Repeatedly Rossman slapped him, kicked him, and jerked him about by, the collar. Young Lefebre: endured all this without open protest till his years service was. up. Then he challenged Frieherr von Ressmann | to fight with swords. On tho field the sec onds made the usual efforts to reconcile the principals. Lefebre demanded the un- conditional and detailed retraction of all the abusive names used by Rossman This | satisfaction was refused. The duel then
 began. It was fought without bandages, l save small silk band over the pulse vein l of each combatsnt's right wrist. After a

REVOLUTIONARY ACTION

REVOLUTIONARY ACTION.
 Judge Morris took part in a strange performance yesterday when he pretended to be the governor of Connecticut and took the oath that our governors take. It is difficult to see how 6 man with his knowledge of the legal features of the sit uation, and with his reputation for eau tion and conservatism, was willing to take such action. It is totally indefensible.
 The constitution of this State says: "A fair list of the persons and number of votes given for each, together with the returns of the presiding officers, shall be, by the treasurer, secretary and comptrol- Ter, made and laid before the general as sembly, then next to be holden, on the first day of the session thereof; and said assembly shall, after examination of the same, declare the person whom they shall find to be legally chosen and give him no- tice accordingly" .--.
 Now it is perfectly plain that the gener- al assembly have not "declared" any per son whom they have found to be legally chosen, and they have not yet found any body to be legally chosen. The Democrat ic senate has, to be sure, made such g ind ing and such declaration, but the senate is not the general assembly, and Judge Morris and his advisers had no right to act upon such finding and declaration.
 The statement is that the next thing on the revolutionary program will be an ac- ton of quo warranto to compel the present State officers to show why they should not give up their offices. This is interesting. It is more respectable and quiet than the Mexican style of changing governments, but it does not differ much in spirit from it.
 It is to be hoped that General Merwin will not feel called upon to initiate Judge Morris action. If he does, and if he takes the oath and demands seat in the gover- nors room, we shall have three governors at time, which are more than we need. Judge Morris and his advisers have made a serious mistake. Governor Bulkeley was right when he told them that their action was revolutionary. Fortunately, he can be depended on to uphold the dignity of the State until the complication is un. folded
