AN ODD CREATURE.
The Laughing Jackass and Its Peculiar
Song.

The Laughing Jackass and Its Peculiar
Song.
The great oddly at the Golden Gate
park, San Francisco, is the laughing
jackass, which has an apartment all to
himself. He doesn't look a bit like a
huInorist, but he looks so homely and
cocks his head in such a strangely
solemn way that everybody laughs at
seeing him. Some of the park en-
ployes caught slim little snake two
feet long one afternoon and it was
thrown alive into the laughing jackass'
big cage. The bird bounced on the
snake with thrill of joy in his heart,
and, grabbing it behind the head, he
quickly thrashed the life out of it
against the sides of the cage.
Then he started in at the snakes
head and swallowed it all. After Civ
ing few extra swallows of satisfaction
he expressed his thanks with hoarse,
loud ''Ha! ha! ha! ha! hal ha! hal'' that
was about as musical as his physiog-
nomy is beautiful Superintendent Nc
ly birds gratitude for an act of kind
ness. Next to snakes the laughing jack
ass likes lizards. AS the park funds hard
ly warrant getting him daily supply
of delicious reptiles he usually has to
put up with chunks of fresh meat and
occasional worms.
In Australia, where laughing jack
asses generally do as they please, they
make constant war on snakes. The
bird will pounce down on one like
hawk, grab it back of the head and
quickly rise to considerable height,
when he viii let the snake drop to the
ground. The snake will be stunned by
the fall and will no sooner strike the
ground than the laughing iackass is
thrashing it about preparatory to
speedy meal. The bird is there often
called the "squatter's clock" because
at six o'clock every evening they every
where set up a concert of ''Ha! ha! hal"

Stage kissing.
An enthusiastic traveller, describing
the lovely maidens of Portugal, says:
"But see the maiden water carriers of
Lisbon, prettiest of all women in the
ancient city, with great dancing eyes,
pouting lips ever parting from dazzling
white teeth, their tongues ceaselessly
running in musical staccato, and their
supple forms ever in irrepressible move
ment from the boundless life within
them. Their short skirts disclose limbs
which outrival the Venus Of Cos in
delicate symmetry. Their smart bodices
vainly hide busts of marvellous round
ness and amplitude, with full arching
neck barred above, and browning it such
dainty and dimpled chin as even
Tuscany cannot match; while the line
from tip of little finger up their brown
round arms beyond the dimpled elbow
is a marvellous study in natures
only perfect mobile bronze. But they
have dallied and chat5ed long enough.
With a whish little pad of rushes or
cloth is slapped on their dainty, shapely
heads; in a twinkling the great cask,
half as tall and quite as big as they, is
resting on the pad, and with a song or
roguish laugh they are away, tripping
homeward as daintily and airily as in
tAe measures of contradana or waltz"

Summer ClOaks.

All the summer cloaks that are no.,
made entirely of lace are trimmed with
lace-and very lavishly, too, some OF
them. 1t is rather favorire fashion to
veil delicate colored cloth with fine
black lace. For example, one of the
new capes in a very pale shade of green,
with a yoke formed of trellis arrange
ment of black velvet ribbon, has the
lower part entirely yelled with lace.
There is also frill of lace round the
shoulders. Another dressy cloak is pink
cloth covered with ecru guipure and
trimmed with long cream ribbons.

Women in Politics.

Two Southern women, who are the
editors of the Arkansas Women's Chron-
icle, "have recently achieved a remarkable
feat in local politics. At the school
election in Little Rock there were two
tickets in the field. The "Women's
Chronicle" split the tickets, taking the
best man from each side. Although it
poured all day long, more than 1900
votes were cast as against 800 at the
last election, and the split ticket was
elected by an emphatic majority. The
bravery of this action can the better be
appreciated when it is added that both
women were schoolteachers, and by pur-
suing the course they did they jeopar-
died their positions in the event of de-

Those TelItale Wrinkles.

Various directions are given for pre-
venting wrinkles. One authority says
that the best recipe is TO allow life TO sit
lightly upon one, not to worry, and &c
use cold water in preference to hot for
the face, and TO tone up the tension
with skin tonic" Face massage will do
a great deal; bat, truth to tell, wrinkles
depend on the mind, the disposition. and
the mental phase, as well as the phys
ical. Prevent wrinkles coming by keep
ing the skin braced up and vigorous, and
attend 70 digestion.

READY FOR TIE CONVENTION.
Both Factions of the Republican Party Have
Headquarters at minneapolis.

Minneapolis, MINI, June 2.-The contest
for the republican presidential nomination
has fairly begun, and this afternoon found
the two factions vigilant and aggressive, and
the dividing lines clearly drawn. Nearly IL
hundred politicians of more or less promi-
nence from all parts of the country are now
ON the ground, and the Harrison and Blaine
people have so far acknowledged the proba-
bities OF the contest to engage rival head
quarters at the leading hotel. j. 5. Clark
son, chairman OF the national committee, is
recognized as the leader of the Blaine forces,
and John c. New of Indianapolis, is in
charge Of Harrison's headquarters. Mr.. New
today authoritatiyely announced that Harri-
son would be placed in nomination by Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, and that Il. ". Thompson,
cx-secretary of the navy, would second the
nomination on behalf of the state OF INDIANA.
Governor Mckinley, of ONO, is the candidate
OF the Harrison delegates for permanent
chairman of the convention.

Such Fool Politics.
Representative Cable, of Illinois, who
is a delegate at large, said:
Il have never heard of such fool poll
tics. 1t practically prevents the election
of Mr.. Cleveland, and sends the nominT
ton to some other state. AS q Cleveland
man, l am not afraid to say that it is
condition altogether distasteful to me-"
Representative tombstone, OF South Car
DINA, said:
ut is &: great mistake on the part OF
Mr.. Cleyelands friends. They had every
thing to lose by such a course, and moth
ing to gain.
Representative Heard, Of Missouri, said:
'If Mr. Cleveland has no more infiu-
ence over his friends than to permit them
to do such q fOllish thing, he does not
deserve to be president"
General Hatch, Of Missouri, said:
at may be possible that Mr.. CleyeIand's
friends think he can be elected without
the vote Of New York.
Mr.. Whiting, of Michigan, said:
II think that the action of tho Syra~
cuse convention makes it extremely prob
able that some other than Mr.. Cleveland
VIII De nominated at Chicago. very
many Of those who would rather see Mr..
Cleveland in the white house than any
one else, feel that he cannot carry New
York, and cannot be elected. The cool
headed men in the convention will very
likely conclude that a contest over the
delegation to start with does not give
