sTANroN URGES DELAY.

City Recorder Charles E. Stanton, who
holds a paying Office, believed that the
question should remain in allegiance until
Governor West decided to call an election.
Should the governor so decide, Charley
was in favor of the Liberals putting up
the best man for delegate, be he Demo-
crat or be he Liberal and spending every
dollar they could raise to give him as
many votes as were in their power to get.

"shoLLvoosTER" AN OLD WORD

First Used In 1s48 by Vigorous IL Pro-
fane Georgia Campaign Orator.
The word 'snollygoster" was first
used to describe place-hunting dem
agogue, says Col. Ham, of Georgia,
back in 1s4s, when the Niagara Incl
dent threatened war with England.
There was joint debate that year in
Georgia town between John Kelly and
Jonas Gaines, rival candidates for the
Legislature, and Kelly spoke first. The
chief plank of his platform, by the
way, was that the president should
seize all the roads to Liverpool so as to
prevent salt famine in case OF war.
After he had declaimed with great ef-
feet on the necessity of plenty of salt,
Gaines arose and spoke these we'll
remembered words: "Fellow-citizens,
ef there's anything on top side of earth
that makes me mad, it's ter see a snol-
lygoster of feller a continually a
swipin' aroun' after the photography ov
a little Office what he KANT never git,
and hain't got sense enough to fill if he
could git it." Finally he reached the
salt question, and raising himself on his
tiptoes, he yelled: "Liverpool-huh!-
North Carolina salt is a burned sight
salter, and there's dozen roads to the
works." Gaines won the debate and
was elected.

The world ought to be sufficiently ac-
customed to Partisan freaks by this
time not to be startled by anything
that happens in that gay town. Their
last fancy concerns their annual charity
ball The Parisians thoroughly believe
that any fete given for sweet virtues
sake should present the most novel and
striking features possible in order to
prove great success. 1t is with this
end in view that they are talking sof
holding their ball in the strangest Of
all places, nothing less than in big sew
ers. Fancy dainty danes putting their
satin-slippered feet and trailing the
frock of lace and chiffon in such an odd
ballroom. But before they are al
lowed to enter the hands of able art
lists and skillful worlsmen will have
transformed those unwholesome colon
nades into enchanted bowers, Aladdin
like caves, and salons rivaling the Val
ley of Diamonds. The idea is truly
Partisan, bizarre and eccentric, and
ought to have success

sour widows always go into the
deepest mourning" said an American
who is living at Sitka, Alaska, accord
ing to the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
"The native women think great deal
of their better halves. And If appear
ances go for anything they think a
great deal more of them after they are
dead than they ever did while the dear
fellows were in the flesh. At the death
of husband widows grief is almost
pitiable. She shows the tenderest de-
votion to the dear departed, and has
the sympathy, assistance and affection
Of all her neighbors. At the funeral
the widow is sight to behold. So Sc
we're is her grief and SO much afraid is
she that her neighbors will think that
she has not shown a sufficient amount
of sorrow that she paints the upper por-
ton of her face deep black. This
particular badge of mourning she wears
for several days and sometimes weeks
after the funeral, and then again she
is very apt to marry some other fellow
within week or month of the death
of her first lord and master. Then she
throws aside all evidences of grief. But
while she's grieving she grieves hard"

BACTERIA AND LIGHT.
One OF the Curiosities of Microscopic
Organism.


One OF the Curiosities of Microscopic
Organism.
The study of bacteria, those micro
scopic organisms which have assumed
SO much Importance in the public mind
since some of them have been shown to
be the active cause Of various diseases,
is progressing at wonderful rate. 1t
may be possible to write the biography
of certain bacteria, and the story of
their individual development, says the
Youths Companion, would possess
much interest.
The action of light upon these simple
organisms is in certain cases, wonder
full. 1t has been ascertained, for in
stance, that the bacterium photomet.
ricum possesses the power, or property,
of discriminating between lights of diff
ferent intensities.
These minute organisms show an op-
teal rotation in definite direction,
and when the intensity of the light
shining upon them is suddenly dimin-
ished, they dart backward with an op-
posite rotation. This is called by En-
gelmann d terror notion" as if the
organisms feared darkness.
One result of this curious property is
that such bacteria may be inclosed in
an illuminated circle as in a trap, out
of which escape is impossible to them
for the moment they approach the darl
rim of the luminous circle the terror
motion" sends them shooting back into
the light.

SCARCITY OF EMERALOS.
Caused by the Decrease In Production In
the Ural Mountains.

Caused by the Decrease In Production in
the Ural Mountains.
Emeralds are said to be steadily dis
appearing. In the SOS and SOS emer-
aids were the favorite jewels, and were
worn strung on thread like pearls.
Such a string of emeralds was exhibited
in a jewelers. window in Unterden Lin
den and was estimated to be worth twelve
thousand marks. Now emeralds are no
longer polished into round form, but
are polished like diamonds Faultless
stones of deep color have always
been as valuable as diamonds. The
reason of the scarcity of emeralds is the
decrease in production in the Ural
mountains. Emeralds were first dis
covered on the right bank of the Toxic
woler, near Katharineburg, in 1880, and
in the first years the harvest was rich
one. Now the decrease, both in quantity
and quality, hardly repays the labor. The
harvest of emeralds in Labachtal, in the
Salzburger Alps, has also proved disap-
pointing. so that emeralds are now only
to be had from Australia and Muse,
near Santa Fe de Bogota, in Colombia,
In any appr,ciable quantity. The lat
ter spot has been noted for its emeralda
since the sixteenth century

A novel and mirth-provoking expert
ment was devised recently by an origin
al hostess for the selection of partners
at q whist party. Family albums were
ransacked for photographs of all the gen.
tlemen present in long dresses, in kits or
in the first pair, and these were shaken
together in hat, from which the Ia
dies drew. Some of the bald heads
above the dress suits bore sufficient re-
semblance to the bald heads in the mus
lin baby frocks to be easily recognized,
but in others it was difficult to trace
ownership. The most amusing part OF
the play was the amazement OF the
men when the pictures appeared, TO,
they, like the ladiss. were unaware od
the plan.

Corbett's Condition,

New YORK, Feb. 27.-A close friend
of Champion Corbett claims to have a
letter from the great pugilist in which
he says he is far from well. His throat,
it is said, has bothered him for some
time, and now begins to cause him some
alarm. A dispatch to Minneapolis Sun
day, where Corbett was playing last
week, brought the information that be-
yond slight cold the champion was all
right. 1t is thought there that the re-
port oi his illness was star ted to make
good betting on his fight with Mitchell

THE CHINESE WALL.
IL Was Wonderful Engineering Feat
and . stupendous Work.


The scenery from the great wall Is
very fine. The wall Is here q dividing
line between the high, rugged hills of
China, which tower above us on the one
hand, and the great sandy plains of
Mongolia on the other, with dim noun
tain submits beyond in the far dis
tance. Over these barren, rocky spurs
and activities, ascending to their very
submits, winding about in irregular
curves and zigzags, its serried battle
ments clear-cut against the sky on the
topmost ridges, descending into dark
gullies to appear again rising on the
other side, the endless line of massive
stone and brick runs on and on until
lost to sight behind the farthest range.
And so, says the Century, it goes for
miles and miles, eastward to the Pechili
gulf, and westward, mostly in two
great, rambling lines, along the border
of the Cobb desert and Kansu, until it
ends among the foothills of the Nan
Shan range. However we may regard
1t, whether as grand conception for
the defense of an empire, as an en-
gineering feat, or merely as result of
the persistent application of human la
Dor, it is stupendous work. No
achievement of the present time COM
pares with it in magnitude.
But it has outlived it's usefulness.
The powerful Tartar and Mongol
hordes, whose sudden raids and inva-
sions it was built to resist, are no more
to be feared. The great Genghis and
Kublai could not lead their people to
CORY conquest now as they did centuries
ago. The Chinese civilization has en-
dured, while the once conquering Mon
gols, the people who in their brightest
days established an empire from the
Black sea to the China coast, and a
court at Pe6ing of such luxury and
splendor as Marco Polo described, are
now doomed to pass away, leaving
nothing behind them but the traditions,
and records, and ruins Of brilliant
past. The wall stands as sharp line
| of division between the tribes of the
north and the Chinese. The latter,
| though repeatedly subdued, and forced
to bear a foreign yoke, have shown an
| irrepressible vitality to rise like a
| phenix, and to reassert their supremacy
and the superiority of their civilization.

THE WOMAN WHO EATS.
Nothing So Remarkable Has Ever Been
Seen Outside the Museum,

Seen Outside the Museum,
Have you ever seen her-the woman
who eats? asks the New York Recorder
II not YOU should, for outside of muse
um nothing so remarkable was ever
seen. She generally lives at hotel
run on the American plan and evident
ly feels in duty bound to take every
thing on the bill of fare in order to get
her moneys worth. 1t never occurs to
her to skip one single thing, yet every
meal she studies the menu with an inter-
est as absorbing as though she were
only to be allowed one portion, and
that one she was determined to have
the best. When this exhaustive survey
is finished she leans back in her chair,
looks up at the waiter in attendance
with a coy, sweet smile and says: II
will commence with oysters" If there
was anything ahead of oysters for her
to begin with she would do so, for she
is systematic feeder and will go on re-
ligiously through soup, fish, entrees,
roasts, vegetables, salads and desserts
until the weary waiter confides to q
sympathizing confrere that it is his pri-
vate opinion that she is the India-rub-
ber girl. When at last the finishing sip
of coffee has been swallowed she dips
her fingers in the bowl of water near at
hand, gathers up what she has not
eaten of the fruit and passes out, leav-
ing the waiter to wonder at the appe-
tite of creature that looks above such
mundane peculiarities, yet she leaves
enough soiled dishes and crumbs in her
| wake to establish forever her reputa-
| ton as a performer who would make
her mark if an eating contest were ever
| arranged.

THE HOLY CITRoN."
It's Only Use Is In the Feast Of the Taber-
nacles.

It's Only Use Is In the Feast Of the Taber-
nacles.
One of the most curious species OF
known fruit is the "holy or sacred
citron" of the Jews. Its virtues are
lauded to the skies and it is celebrated
in legend, romance, poetry and song,
and yet 1t appears that it is never
eaten. 1t is known in most all oriental
countries, but appears to be most
highly esteemed by the Moorish Jews
of Tunis and Morocco. On the streets
of the last named city it is sold at about
eight cents per fruit. These fruits
are generally purchased by bands OF
rowing pilgrims, the members of reli-
gious professions and Jewish priests
When one of these sacred citrons falls
into the hands of priest he takes 1t to
the synagogue, where it is kept to be
used In some emblematical rite during
the time of the great "Feast Of the
Tabernacles" Not only in oriental
countries are these holy fruits known
and esteemed, but in Germany, Russia,
France, Spain and in England. They
are probably used in American Jewish
synagogues to some extent, but such
use would be necessarily limited. In
England, so am informed, good speci-
mems of holy citrons bring as much as
fifty shillings each, there being whole
companies which make their ir1porta-
ton "side line"
The use of this unique fruit is sup
posed to be derived from the injunction
contained in the twenty-third chapter
of the book of Leviticus.
