THE petition of members of the col
ored race that one OF their number be
appointed to one of the federal Judge
ships is not enthusiastically approved
by the republican press. The reasons
they give for not doing 30 are of the
thinnest sort. Thus the St. Louis
Globe Democrat says: GAS a matter of
fact, the appeal is for the appointment
of a negro to a federal judgeship simply
because he is a negro, and not because
there is a negro anywhere who is capa-
BILE and worthy to hold a position Of that
kind"
Such argument will not deceive the
colored voters. They know that Presi.
dent Harrison will select his personal
friends or men who will bring him po-
litical support, not IN account Of their
fitness, but because they are men with
pull" Many OF the men now on the
federal bench are inferior mentally anc
morally to Langston, Bruce, Greener
Lynch and many other colored men
Harrison will not appoint one Of thu
latter simply because it would not b.
polite or popular.

In these days of rabid anti-railroad
talk, when tax-burdened farmers wildly
visit upon the transportation companies
the wrath that should be reserved for
legislators who put Mckinley bills upon
them, it is refreshing to get a clear and
convincing presentation of the other
side OF the picture from SO able a writer
on railroad problems as Arthur 7. Had.
ley. Mr.. Hadley shows that all attempts
to compare the railroad service in this
country with that in European coun
tries is fallacious and misleading. HI
says:
The first obvious reason for the difference
in passenger fares is a difference in the kin,
of service > rendered. Continental Europ
pays two-thirds as much as America o
England and gets an inferior article. lndi
pays still less and gets still less. The dit
ference is seen in both quality and in quar-
tity of service. In India express train

The Hon. Thomas II. Carter has the
knowledge, the experience and the abil-

the general land office. The fact that
the Bonner Mercantile company and

udice. We believe he will keep clear of
such influences and have a useful and
popular administration. THE INDE.

Lace headdresses, Or what were called
heads Of lace, were very fashionable in
England in the reigns Of Mary and
Anne, and the ladies Of the court some
times paid very large sums for a fine
head of French or Flemish lace. but the
extravaganza in this fragile article of
luxury was never carried to the same
ruinous extent as in France. It was,
however. profusely worn during what
may be called the lace epoch. and was
even coveted as an article of adornment
after death.
Mrs. Oldfeld, the celebrated actress,
left Instructions that she should be laid
in her coffin arrayed in a very fine head
dress of Brussels lace, in a shroud OF

The room is clean and warm, a pleas

enters. no matter how filthy OF degraded,
is heartily welcomed. The breakfast
consists of two substantial sandwiches
and a cup Of strong hot coffee.

= good story of General Sheridan was
told me the other day by a Mexican
gentleman, an intimate friend Of the
great northern soldier in his lifetime.
One day, calling on the commander of
the army at his Office in Washington. he
found him at his desk. his feet incased
in slippers and his shoes democratically
placed on top Of the drsk. While the
general was appaI ently absorbed in sous
writing, the Mexican gentleman. who
thought some servant had left the war
rior's shoes in the wrong place, took his
cane and gently deposited tbs. shoes on
the floor.
The next day the Mexican gentleman
called again on Sheridan and found him
at his desk, shoes on top as before. The
polite resident Of the tropics began once
more removing the shoes to the floor.
when all at one Sheridan roared out:
Don't you do that again. sirI You
make ME ridiculous. sirT"
Il beg your pardon, general, but how
have | made you ridiculous:"
why, sir" said Sheridan, still an
noyed. yesterday, sir, | went u to
walk after you had called on me. Twas
nearing the White House when | noticed
a gentleman looking at me %intently:
Soon he addressed me, saying. Excuse

catching cold? Why, sir, nc not that

Well said the gentleman, it is very
damp and you are going about in your

addressing his Mexican friend, you

A Trainer sIuSt Become IA fionkey to Be
Able to Teach Them Tricks.
The training Of monkeys for stage per-
formances demands peculiar talents and
a curious psychological ability on the
part Of the instructor. Brockmann,
probably the most successful monkey
trainer that the world has seen, once de-
scribed thus the necessary method OF ap-
preaching a monkey pupil:
TO the monkey man is a strange and
irNomDrehepsible being. | therefore
must adopt as far as possible the 0
keys way Of regarding persons and
things. The monkey must find in me
one Of his own kinda monkey like him
self, only a much stronger monkey,
whom he must obey. Then he has ONE
thing which he can understands; he &C
customs himself to it, and he voluntarily
takes more pains to comprehend NE
than he would take to comprehend a be-
ing who made on him about the same
IMPRESSION that a monster from another
world would make on Us. | adapt,
therefore, all to his mode Of life. When
he disObeys and rebels against me DO
not strike, because he does not strike;
but | bite because he bites"
The behavior of a troop of monkeys
trained by Brockmann would undoubt-
edly strengthen the convictions Of the
Russian Duroff, who gave up teaching in
a high school to instruct pigs and geese,
and who holds that, Of all pupils, human
pupils are the least dOcile. A man once
behind the scenes Of BrOckmann's mon
key theater wrote:
81 have always regretted that Brock
mann did not give his performances IN a
perfectly open stage, SO that the audience
GSuld see the waiting performers. The
conduct Of the quadruped actors while
awaiting their parts was much more
fascinating than their best acting before
the audience. Like a of gno1nes
or lilliputjans the little performers sit
there dressed and made up, perfectly
well behaved, each in the proper human
attitude on his tiny chair, each follow
ing with undivided attention and eager
anxiety the progress Of the play SO as to
be ready at the exact moment for his ap-
peararce. No person is near them, no
servant or attendant to distract them, and
no pr0mpter to whisper at the proper
time:

paint blue stars on the chin and fore
head. ''One hesitates a little about put

Butterflies That Battle.

1t is commonly thought that a butter
fly breads the water as a fine lady breads
rain, but evidently this is not true in
australia. The case of an Australian
butterfly deliberately entering the water
to take a bath is recorded by M. G.
Lyell, Jr. Ha saw it alight close to the
water, into which it backed until the
whole Of the body and the lower part of
the hind legs were submerged, the two
fore legs alone retaining their hold on
the dry land. After remaining in this
position for something like half a min
ute it flew away apparently refreshed.
Mr.. Lyell says: During the morning
| noticed a number doing the same
thing. IN one instance no less than four
were to be seen within a space Of not
more than three yards, and, to make
sure that | was not deceived, | captured
several as they rose from the water, and
found in each case the body and lower
edge of the hind wings quite wet. While
in the water the futtering Of the wings,
so noticeable at other times. was suS-
pended, ARA SO intent were the but
t~ertiies in the enjoyment Of the cold
bath that they could hardly move, ever
when actually touched by the net.
apparently the heat of the weather
drove them down to the water, as imme-
diately upon emerging they few up
again to the hillside. Butterflies are
often seen apparently sucking in the
moisture around the edgo Of tin pools;
but they have never before been seen
actually to enter the water."-Victoria
