1t was Hobson's choice for the assembled
Tammany braves last night, when Chairman
Smith eloquenty declared that there was one
man in their mnds-whom he would not name
who. if nominated for Governor, would
"sweep the State" The warriors rubbed their
eyes. pulled themselves together, and after
a moment or two perfunctorily applauded.
Whether they were applauding Flower or Hill
not one of them could tell. Mr. Smiths refusal
to mention any name was diplomatic stroke
that entities him to distinguished consideration
from the choice of the convention. Tammany,
at all events, is solid for the Unknown.

The causes of insanity were comprehenSvely
discussed before the Social Science Association
yesterday by DR.. Atwood, of the Utica Asylum.
The painful fact was set forth by the speaker
that in spite Of civilizaton-or is it because Of
civilization ?-insanity is on the increase. DIR.
Atwoods earnest recommendation was that the
disease should be taken in hand early and treat
ed with intelligence therein lying the chief
hope of cure. This advice is especially to be
commended to people who hesitate to place in
an asylum friend showing symptoms of men
tai unbalance, in the hope that he will improve.
The only real hope of improvement lies in ade-
onate treatment by competent alienists.

II turns out, as we supposed 1t would, that the
commander of the British sloop-Of-war Espiege
transported Balnlacedas stolen silver from Val
paraiso to Montevde0 at the suggestion and with
the approval of the British Minister. The Lon
don Times censures the Minister Mr.. Kennedy,
severely and il does look as If he had engaged III
a scandalous proceeding. IL is rumOred that his
defence will be that the money was intended TO
pay Gillian debts in England; but suppOsing that
10 be a fact, it does not excuse him for employing
the resources of his Government In a way that dis
tinctly aided and upheld Balmaceda. That could
only be done properly upon the ground that it was
necessary TO the protection of British rights and
British honor The mere fact that Balmaceda
owed this money in London does not justify its
transmission under British colors, for the ques.
tions at issue are whether he had the right to
pledge national resources, and whether, having
that right, he came honestly by the money shipped

Brown University is the latest accession to the
ranks of the American colleges which recognize
the claims OF women TO participate in the higher
education offered to men. Ito authorities, after
considerable discussion, have decided TO allow
women to take its entrance examinations and TO
grant them certificates for what they accomplish
therein. This is not indeed far-reaching step,
but il has good deal OF significance in that il

in a remarkable manner. A year ago
her brother was stabbed to death before

unconscious for several days. When

The mission chapel has become a
kitchen where the church does its slop-
Ply work. Hundreds and thousands of
churches in this country-gorgeously
built and supported-that even on
bright and sunshiny days are half full
of worshipers, and yet they are build
ing mission chapels, because by some
expressed or implied regulation the
great masses of the people are kept out
of the main audience room. Now, 1
say that any place of worship which is
appropriate for one class is appropriate
for all classes. Let the rich and the
poor meet together the Lord, the maker
of them all.
Mind you, I say that mission chapels
are a necessity, the way churches are
now conducted; but may God speed
the time when they shall cease to be a
necessity. God will rise up and break
down the gates of the churches that
have kept back the masses. And woe
be to those who stand in the way2 They
will be trampled under foot by the vast
populations making n stampede for

The couvre pied is a dainty little duvet
to throw over the feet on the lounge or
across the bed. 1t may be made of In
dia silks in any delicate or rich artistic
color. The best material to fill such a
soft cover is elder down. This remains
a compact mass, and does not pierce my
and every thing and fly about the atmos-
phere in an uncomfortable and unwhole-
some fluff, as arctic down does. The
latter is worth about one-eighth the
price of the genuine down of the elder
duck. 1t is made of the down stripped
from geese feathers.
Elder down is a soft fawn color, and
does not fly into fluff. The price of it
varies from 50 to $12 a pound, according
TO the market and demand, but half n
pound would probably be enough for an
ordinary duvet. The next choice after
elder down is pure, soft lambs wool or
the silkenlike natural camel's hair wool
sold in shops devoted to sanitary wool
underwear. Lambs wool is somewhat
difficult to get, but can be found at some
place in all large cities. Cancels hair
wool can be obtained at 81 a pound

The New Year in scotland.

In the county of Fife, Scotland, the
name given to New Years Eve is
Singers Fen" and to this is attached
a peculiar custom. On this night the
peasantry of the Highland watch the
weather very closely, for to them it has
great Importance.
If the wind blows west they call it
dar-na-coille, meaning the night OF
formulation of trees. There is a verse
in Gaelic which reads:
A wind from the south will be pro
ductive of heat and fertility; if from
the west much milk and fish; if from
the east fruit in plenty will burden the
trees, but if from the north cold
weather and heavy storms.
The farmers of Scotland in some To-
calities take huge juniper trees, and
after gathering their cattle together
burn the trees, hoping thereby to OBJ
tain good luck for their stock during
the ensuing year.-Philadelphia Times.

Why Gee Girl with Lofty Aspirations
Failed as n saleswomAn.
The overseer of the linen department
OF a large city retail store wa much
pleased with the appearance Of the new
saleswoman who had been assigned to
his department.
"She is healthy, nea and quick in her
movements" he said to an assistant.

the comment.
'Only because 1 think she is an ex-
ceptionally clever girl, and will deserve
it" was the reply. 81 know that she is
poor and needs steady work badly"
Miss Scott, the girl in question, soon
impressed all the other saleswomen with
the conviction of her cleverness. She
talked well and much upon every sub
ject but-linen. She had thought more
than any of her comrades upon the
question of suitable occupations for
women, and startled them by her flu
ency.

the law, sit in the judges seatT' she said

shelves. The overseer, who had grown
anxious with regard to her, stood neal,
and motioned to another woman to take
the customer. why do you not learn
the shelves when you are not waiting on

of a pamphlet hid under the counter,
Higher E-mployments for Women" and
understood the cause.
One day, two or three weeks later, her
mind was so full of the opportunities for
women to hold political salons in this
country. as she a heard they do in
