What Makes . Man Useful.

A mans usefulness in this world.
whether in a subordinate position or
otherwise, is very generally measured
by his ability to adapt himself to cir.
cumstances and to be serviceable in
whatever capacity he is working,
whether the conditions are such as he
is accustomed to or are entirely new.
To put it in rough way, his usefulness
is measured by his ability to catch
on" The man who is content to seem
ingly perform the duties assigned him
seldom excels in usefulness. On the
other hand the man who actually p.r-
forms all that is allotted to him. and
who studies to increase his usefulness
by doing certain other things that fall
in his way, and whichtare necessary T.,
be done by some one, even though thev
DO not belong to him, very rapidly, in
ereases his measure of usefulness. It
Is hard to define the difference between
thoroughly useful helper and one whs
pretends to be useful, and actually fails
abort, except only by the result Of q
period Of trial.-Shoe Trade N..,-a

How a Snake Swallows a Frog.

y snake usually seizes Il frog by the hind
leg, but should it be taken by the middle
of the body it turns the frog around, by
deXtrous movements of its jaws, till the
head comes to be directed toward the
snake, when it is SWALLOWED head foremost
1t is swallowed whole and at first sight it
might seem an impossible thing for n
snake to swallow a creature much larger
and thicker than its own whole head and
neck. The fact is, that serpent does not
so much swallow its prey as slowly drag
itself over the creature it devours, being
enabled so to do by the elasticity of it's
skin, and the extraordinary loose way in
which the bones of its head. especially its
teeth bearing bones, are connected to-
gether.
The two halves of the lower jaw, instead
of being, rs in most animals, tightly bound
together in front, can be stretched very far
apart. Those bones also which compose
the upper jaw can be widely separated,
and also separately moved, so that while
the frog is tightly held by some of the toot h
bearing bones. others can withdraw from
their first hold and again implant their
teeth farther on. Thus by degrees the
frog is drawn within the Gullet or rather
the snake draws itself over il, and so en-
CULTS the frog.
Even after tie frog bas passed down into
the snakes stomach its position is for a
time externally visible by the local en-
largement. Digestion, however, takes
place very rapidly. The frog generally re-
mains alive. not only while being eaten,
but for IL short time after being swallowed.

The Nails from Jesus Hands.

The Iron Crown" which worked up the
minds of the people of the Middle Ages to
such an extent al finally to become an OBJ
ject of worship is, in fact, Il gold crown, the
secret magic of the name resting on the
tradition that the inside ring of iron was
made from the nails which were driven
through the hands of Jesus ut the time OF
the cruciiXion.
But little is known concerning the his
tory of the iron crown until after the coro-
nation of AGilulf, king of the Lonbards.
1t is generally believed that it was made
for that monarch in the year sol. 1t was
used by Charlemagne and 10y all the after
emperors of France, who were kings of the
Lombards. Napoleon put it on his head
when he was in Milan in 1906, saying, God
hath given il TO me"

Reform Through Education.

All actual and permanent expansion and
Indignation OF society proceeds from the
voluntary cooperative action of individ-
uals. The social reformer, therefore, who
would work in harmony with the tendencies

fuencing the motives and moral natures
OF individual men and women rather than
toward forcibly changing the customs of
society by legal enactments. official pro

Hill Menaces the Judiciary.
New York Press.1

New York Press
The pardon by D. B. Hill of a per-
son committed for contempt OF an
order of a justice of the supreme court
is a menace to the judiciary of which
the highest court in the state can not
fail to take notice. The power to
commit for contempt is weapon
which alone gives force and efficiency
to the orders of the supreme court.
To paralyze that authority is to par
alyze the arm of justice so far as the
equity powers of the court are con-
cerned. If Justice Kennedy had
abused his authority he was liable to
impeachment. In pardoning WEIGH
Governor Hill assumed both to i'm
peach and convict. Technically it
may have been usurpation; morally
and practically there could be no
more dangerous usurpation OF despot-
ism over the judiciary.
The judges of the court of appeals
can now p.rceive the manner OF man
with whom they have to deal. The
issue before those judges has ceased to
be that of the electoral questions
alone; there is an issue fully as serious
and far-reaching, and it is whether an
example and precedent shall be set
forth to all future trials of the judi
ciary of the state trampled under foot
by the governor of the state. 1t is
not too much to say that the judges
with equity powers throughout the
state of New York are looking to the
court of appeals to vindicate the
authority and dignity OF the judiciary
assailed by the executive. Hill has
made the issue. 1t is for the court ot
appeals to accept and settle it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WAsHINeToN, Dec. 81, 1891.
Secretary Blaine says, and he certainly
knows, that notwithstanding the numer-
Gus startling and alarming rumors preva-
lent there are no new developments in the
Chilian difficulty. 1t is believed that the
synopsis of the report made OF the investi-
CATION by the Chilian authorities OF the at
tack upon the sailors OF the Baltimore,
which was cabled to number OF American
newspapers last Wednesday is correct, but
port is received by the state department,
and if it comes by mall which is probable,
owing to it's length, it may be several weeks
before it gets here. The indications now
are that Chill will decline to apologize, and
if she does the proba bilities favor serious
trouble, possibly war.
II Speaker Crisp had been intent upon
widening the breach in the Democratic
party in the house he could not have done
it better than he did in his committee ss-
signments. The snub administered to Mr..
Mills and his strongest supporters is SO
plain that even he who runs may read.
The Crisp gang, which includes all OF the
worst elements in the Democratic party.
are in absolute control OF every important
committee of the house. which, by the way.
is ~ mighty good thing for the Republican
party. as it is certain that Mills and his
friends will take early occasion to show
their resentment, and it is equally certain
that no Republican representative will take
the trouble to pour any oil upon the
troubled Democratic waters. 1t is Dem
ocratic row, and members OF that party
will be allowed to fight it out.
1t is said that certain Democratic sena
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, with a PROPOSE
tion to exchange votes against the con-
firmation of George Dallas, the Pennsylva-
mia Democrat recently nominated for judge
of the new circuit court, for votes against
the confirmation OF the nomination oi
Judge Woods, OF Indiana, to a similar po-
sition. 1t is extremely doubtful whether
any Republican senator would take part
in any such bargain. and your correspond
ent predicts that all OF the nominations
which the president has up to this time
made to the bench OF the circuit court will
be confirmed, although it is probable that
Senators Voorhees, and Turpie, OF Indiana
may succeed in getting all OF the Democrats
to vote against Judge Woods.
Senator Sherman, just before the ad
journment of congress to January ., intro
