mind to grasp and fully sense the q uan-
5ity represented by hundreds of mill
ions of dollars: he gets no more cOncep
ton Of their amount than does the per
son standing at the foot of the Washing
ton monument, gazing upward, of Its
height But reduced to what it means
to him personally, as unit of the whole
mass of contributors, he can sense II
fully.
Thus, when he tells us that the total
receipts during President CLEvELAND's
term were over twelve hundred million
dollars. one gets no clear impression of
anything save incomprehensibie mag
nitude; but when he tells us that the
average receipts during that time were
6.07 for each person in the country, it
becomes comprehensive. So when he
tells us that the average cost to each
person in the country of Mr.. CLEVE
LANDS administration was Slab, and
that the average of President HARRI-
SONS is S5.16, he can make the compar-
ison readily.
But though this difference of 70 cents
head is apparently small and inslg-
nifcant one, 1t is necessary to state its
results in totals to prevent indifference
to it and to cure the tendency to ignore
small things. 1t represents an mere
of expenditures in this administration
over that OF President CLEVELAND of
fraction under 5000. 100000.
AS MI. ATKINSON says: In dealing
with the science of small things 1t is
necessary to revert occasionally to the
larger figures. lest one should get the
impression that the true issue is not
one of sufficient Importance to demand
the attention that is required for its
final solution.

The Louisiana lottery will not go to
the Sandwich islands after all. but will
be taken under the wing OF the little
isthmian republic of Honduras. A
small island will be granted it in the

AT A TINE when the Hawaiian Incl

Bird-o' -Freedo n class in the country to
shouting for annexation, the opinion of
the man who will soon be our next pres
ident on this topic is timely. In his
message, the first one he addressed to
congress, he said: Maintaining. as |
do, the tenets of line Of presidents
from Washington's day, which prescribe
entangling alliances with foreign states,
do not favor policy Of acquisition of
new and distant Territory or the ncor
poration of remote interests with our
own" AS this opinion was sound
one at the time AMI represented his de-
iberat, views. and as Mr.. CLEVELAND
Is tenacious Of his opinions when once
deliberately formed. it is just as we'll to
assume that he thinks now as he did in
1885 about anneXations, and too much
dependence should not be placed on al
IegedI interviews which contradict the
expression Of policy given above.

DEAD-1ETrER ORDINANCE.

DE AD. II a. LEW OfSD IN EnNSC.
AS in all cities, there is an ordinance
in st. Paul prohibiting the use of pro-
fame and obscene language upon the
streets. The object of such all ordl-
nance is plain, and it is very worthy
one. But the ordinance of st. Paul is
never enforced. 1t is a common thing
to hear men and~boys using in loud
tones profanity and the vileSt Obscenity
while passing and among ladies on the
walks. Last evening at one of the
prominent corners, which is crowded
much of the time with men and women
waiting for street cars, party OF three
or four men were standing near crowd
of women, and using among themselves
the basest talk. The women, VINO ap-
peared TO be highly respectable, could
not fail to hear 1t all, for the men
made no effort to talk in undertones. A
policeman was standing near and must
have heard; but he paid no attention to
it. 1t was simply an outrageous insult
to the women. This ordinance, from its
nature, is one which must be enforced
by the police. Respectable women can-
not be expected to make complaints IN
such cases. Modesty forces them to
ignore such matters. Neither do their
husbands and escorts care to make COM
plants, for in doing SO they must neces-
sarlly drag in the names of the women.
This practice of using profane and In
decent talk on the streets Of the city
has gone to an outrageous freedom, and
it is high time the police put stop to
it. 1t is not trihing matter.

QUEER PEOPLE.
Stories of the Birthplace OF
Thomas Kempis.

u ACiilDt~.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune says that the good citizens Of
Kempen. in Holland, where Thomas Il
Kempis was born, do some droll things.
At one time q fire broke out and much
damage was done because the engines
were out of repair. The council met,
and after much argument it was voted
that on the eve preceding every
fire the town officers should care
fully examine the engines. pumps. etc.
One of the greatest profits of the town
was the toll eXacted at the gates. The
council wished to increase the income,
and instead of increasing the toll it
voted to double the number Of gates.
The same council also ordered the sun
dial to he taken from the court house
common and placed under cover, where
it would be protected from the weather.
But OF all the queer things that are told
of Kempen and its people nothing is so
absurd as this: Grass grew on the top
of very high tower, and the only way
these drol Dutchmen could think of to
get it off was to hoist COW up ana let
her eat it.

material. There Is young man in the
world who has considerable talent i'll the
way of making verses. Some time ago

good deal of attention and was widely
copied. The young man had been very
loveable creature before this, but ne
soon developed into nuisance. He car
ried the poem about with him and in
sisted upon reading it 10 his friends: he
committed it to memory and repeated it
upon the market place and about the
synagogues; his head became too large
for hat and he had to wear an UNI

his presence began to crawl under side
walks and climb trees when they saw
him coming He will not be of any use

enough to acquire a swollen head, but it
is difficult to reduce it.

his wisdom or ability. But Mr.. MITCH-

among those to whom any political con-

sion that, since the election, it is re-

opinion that story which Mr.. Don
NELLY himself related once, to make
one of his very apt and stirling illus
tratious gives the accurate answer. ~
Some years ago, lie said, he had
bought a choice flock of fowls, in which
he took both pride and interest. He
built for them house with all those
modern appliances which the ingenuity
of agricultural editors had devised for
the comfort and health of our poultry.
Having occasion one day to make some
repairs in it, he removed the perch, but
was called away before completing the
work, and was detained until after sun
down, Recalling the perchless condi-
ton of his pets, he fastened to the hen
house, and there" he said, twas the
cock and his harem sitting squat on the
