OUR London correspondents have had
a very busy week of it. Thev have been
giving any amount OF news on the little
misunderstanding batween this country
and Italy. At first the tone OF sentl-
ment 10 England was decidedly against
this country On the New Orleans mat
ter, but when our government refused
to condemn men before they were tried,
and took the position Of the indop6nd
emit, Italy drew back, and so did Eng
lish sentiment. That is always the way
with England: ready TO roast this
country at all times, and abuse it
through irs subsidized press. England
got enough, and more than enough
when America sent her troops and rep
resentatives home and established re-
public here. No wonder that she would
like to see us involved in war. Uncle
Sam is too strong, however, to even
honor Italy bv removing bis hat.

PATROL LIMITS AGAIN.

There is a great deal beng said these
days about The extension CT the patrol
limits. The Republican press is we might
note here, doing othirds OF the talk
ing and all because they hope 10 solidlfy
themselves with the fanatics. Now it
must be conceded that Minneapolis is
city of 1865, 600 people; that there are
within her boundaries some of the smart
est and ablest men Of the present day;
that under our republican form OF gov
eminent Minneapolis ought to have the
privilege of making her own laws and
ordinances az she deems best for the
Guidance and control. Now this patrol
limit question was never submitted to
the people of this city before it was in
troduced in the Legislature some four
wears ago and made law. The Repub-
ican press is shouting about not letting
The peopie have something to say IN this
matter. but did the Republicans who
first fathered this measure submit it to
vote Of the people? Again there is no
nity in the country that deals with this
patrol question as Minneapolis has been
dealing with it. If tbe people OF this
CITY cannot take care Of the city without
having to call IN the balance OF the state
as an advisory board, then let US husband
and 90 elsewhere. 1t must not be IN"
ferred here that we are arguing either
for or against the patrol lirn1ts. Whist
we want TO see is the patrol limits CUES
lion placed in the hands of the people OF
Minneapolis, instead Of the people OF
Minnesota as it is now. Then it the
1,eoplo of Minneapolis vote to maintain
the limits as they are, we'll and good; If
not, then they should go. The majority
rules in this country and should rule IN
Minneapolis. The patrol limit question
should rest with the people or their rep
resentatives, the city council and nos
with he state Legislature, 1t was ceE'
tainlY very gratifying to see the DILL ex-

States, and when the Italian government
made such formidable demand for res
titut1on, etc., England was satisfied
that there must be some good cause for
complaint and believing that our govern
ment had no excuse to offer, would find
themselves all right. Here is what the
London Telegraph said on the matter:
.sIt could scarcely appear practical to
Italy to be told that it is uncertain
whether the murdered men were Itallans
whilst they were lYnched, and the lynch
ing was palllated on the ground that
they were members of an italian secret
society. The contrast between the saw
age precipitancy of the slayers. the COM
placency OF the municipal authorities OF
New Orleans and the deliberate skepti-
cism of Mr.. Blaine might we'll have NOV
ed less high spirited nation than ITALY
to resolute measures. We are deeply
grieved that the opinion of the clviliz I'd
world ranges itself against America. 1t
is scarcely wise for American papers to
buster. The Italian navy is in condi-
ton of the highest efficiency. The hope
of speedy and equitable adjustment OF
this per1lous quarrel lies with the vast
body of upright and honorable feeling
prevailing in the republic. There is no
prospect that King Humbert will abate
his just demands. Now this is a paper
that Is usually very mild Oh matters
generally, but when 1t comes to roast
ing the Republic can do SO without much
effort. There was no need Of sympathy
from the English press, if sympathy
we're in order. The English government
murders more innocent people in Ireland
every year than there are Italians In
Minnesota, and these papers, whose con-
sciences seem to trouble them much be-
cause a dozen lnurderers met their just
deaths IN New Orleans. never have a
word of sympathy for Ireland in her
grief, It is all right to butcher and kill
Irishmen who commit no greater offense
against the British crown than defend
their homes and families against tho CON
stabuIary and baiiiffs, but it is terri
BILE crime TO kill few worthless degrad-
ed Italian murderers Such hypocrisy
on England's part merits the ccndema-
tion of sill fair thinking men. England
would ask no better fun than assisting
some European power to make war on
the United States. England is too cum
ming to engage ia any such dangerous
pastime herself. She would stand back
and goad Italy on in the hope that the
latter might give us little temporary
annoyance. Italy, however, thought
better and withdrew as gracefully as
she could, and with her withdrawal
came mild statements OH the situation
from the English press. The English
government organs have the faculty OF
either making war whenever the outlook
is warlike or of crawling on their stom-
aohs to "a good hiding place whenever
things go the other way. England has
no love for the United States, and no
matter how much the press of that coun-
try may say in defense OF America and

4 Boston clergyman preaching recent
ly in favor Of law to regulate medical
practice is reported as saying that the
object of government was to curtall the
rights of the individual. If the reverend
gentleman said that at all, he doubtless
said it with qualification, He probably
meant at the worst that il was legiti-
mate province Of the government to pre-
vent people from making FOOLS of them
selves. He likely urged nothing more
extreme than that the government should
restrain people from imperiling their
lives through the indulgence of absurd
follies. It would be good thing if the
government took some of the obstreper-
GUS ministers in hand, and gave them
lesson in minding their own business.

A Pig Tale.

This story was recently told in Golden
Days: Among certain litter of New Jer-
sey pigs there was one black runt to which
the owners children took great fancy
and taught number of tricks. One was
to hide an apple and send the pig in search
of it. AT this the animal became very ex-
pert, until it seemed that an apple could
not be hidden anywhere that the pig could
not find it. But the hired man thought
otherwise; so one day he tied weight to
an apple and threw it into the duck pond,
where the water was about two feet deep.
The pig went nosing around until he
reached the pond, hesitated moment, then
jumped in, dived to the bottom and re-
appeared with the apple in his mouth.
The very next day, while the children were
in great glee over this performance, the
pig disappeared, presumably stolen by
some jealous neighbor.
Two years later, while the farmer was in
town on business, he purchased a black
hog that pleased him and brought it home.
The hog was driven into the yard, where he
stopped, looked critically around the prem
Uses and then, with grunt of satisfaction,
trotted TO one corner of the yard, where he
rooted for few seconds. Then he trotted
to the duck pond and dived beneath the
water When he reappeared and swan
ashore he looked disappointed; but the
farmer and his family were delighted, be-
cause they had recovered their pet.

and the boys said:

Have any luck?"
ayes, pretty fair. You see there were
five of US; we went out to Hermon pond.
AS soon as we got there the other boys
went to fxin' camp, and took hook and
line to try my luck fishing. got hold OF
fish, and after pulling away long time
and finding couldn't pull him in, drove
a stake down and hitched the line 70 it,
When it came time for supper we went 70
the shore and pulled the FISH in and cut of
enough for supper. We did this for five
days at each meal. aud when we got ready
to go home there was quite big piece of
the FISH left. Fact" said Uncle Ira, az he
shot a merry twinkle from his eyes and
turned on his heel TO find some OF the other

An Auecdote of Emin Pasha.

One morning lately friend took me to
BEE German gentleman who has travelled
several times across Africa, just in the same
way as Mr. Stanley went on his exploring
tours, except that he had only very few
men with him. His name is DR.. Peters, and
you bigger ones who are fond of reading
books about African travel may have seen
his name.
AT first we talked for a long time of
things which don't think would interest
you, but then DIR. Peters went on to tell us
of how he used to watch Emin Pasha pre-
pare African birds for museums. Emin
did it as an amusement in his leisure time,
and he did it wonderfully neatly and care
fully. Sometimes the corpseS of the little
dead birds, with their gay plumage, would
be hung all about his tent, and then he
would write down all he had found out
about them. ! believe the other day, at
meeting of German archaeological society
(the big word means concerning the natu-
raj history of BIRDS, it was stated that DR..
Emin had just sent 800 birds, represent
ing l35 different species, to Germany. He
had caught and prepared them all in three

Reading Aloud.

Too little attention is paid nowadays to
the superior advantages to be gained from
correct reading aloud. In the schools this
highly necessary branch of education is too
often considered so simple as not to require
any attention, and the practice of reading
aloud in the home circle has gradually
given way to what are considered more
elegant recreations, but the truth is that
it is an accomplishment far more indispen-
sable than almost any other, for it is
known method of avertiug consumption
or entertaining ones friends, and of show
ing the true quality of the mind 1t is one
of those exercises which combine mental
and muscular effort, and hence has a dou-
BILE advantage.
To read aloud well one should not only
understand the subject, but should hear
his own voice, and feel within him that
every syllable is distinctly enunciated.
Every public speaker ought to know
whether he is distinctly heard by the farth-
est auditor in the room; if he does not, it is
because he does not understand the proper
use of the voice. Reading aloud helps to
develop the lungs just as singing does.
The effect is to induce the drawing of long
breaths oftener and deeper than it is done
in reading without enunciating. These
deep inhalations never fail to develop the
capacity of the lungs in direct proportion
to their practice. Miller Magazine.

A Romantic Grave Owned by Mr.. Ingalls,

A Romantic Grave Owned by Mr.. Ingalls,.
In the center of Senator Ingalls, thirty
acre truck farm, surrounded by trees and
covered with bluegrass, is a grave which
evidently received considerable attention
for many years. 1t is supposed to contain
the remains of an Indian girl and her pale
faced lover.
Away back in the early part of this cent
urY, when what is now known as Kansas
belonged to the territory of Louisiana, there
lived in lonely hut on the bank of the
Missouri river an old Indian and his daugh-
ter, who had wandered away from some
southern tribe. One day white hunter
stopped at the hut, having been lost in the
wilderness. He was taken sick the day he
reached the place, and was nursed by the
Indian girl for several weeks until he re-
covered.
The girl fell desperately in love with her
patient. The man was already married,
and SO explained to the girl. She was
crazed by her love, however, and the night
before the day set for his departure she
crept to his couch and shot an arrow
through his heart and then killed herself
The father found the pair dead, and they
were buried together.
The grave on Mr.. Ingalls, truck farm is
supposed to contain all that is left of this
couple. Mr.. Ingalls, says he will have the
grave opened some time, and ascertain, if
possible, what it really does contain.-Cor.
