BLOOMING IDIOTS.
A C1ubman Discovers Two Distin Species
of the Genus.

A Clubman Discovers Two istinct Species
of the Genus.
There are two distinct kinds Of blooming
idiots who give me the malaria every time en-
counter them, said the clubman in a disguised
tone to representative of THE STAR.
"Of course he continued. 1.-THE average
blooming idiot abounds like ieas at a dog show
Just now the idiot who persists in wearing an En-
gllsh tweed suit without an overcoat 10 in vogue
he Thermometer registers ten degrees above
zero. The wind is cold and piercing. The
snow is deep on the streets. Every man YOU
meet, except the idiot in question, is muffied
up warm and snug. But he goes along, gloved
and Juggling his cane, stopped shouldered and
hollow chested, with lips and nose purple from
the cold, frozen to the very marrow of his bony
frame. but he thinks he's English, you know
and that's enough for his nibs.
The other blooming idiot l have in mind
blossoms at night. He is the fellow who owns
a dress suit. He always leaves his overcoat
unbuttoned. This is to let the public know that
he's got his only shirt out of the laundry and
that he has dress suit on. The cold air strikes
directly upon the most delicate portion Of his
anatomy; he, too. is chilled and cold, but the
coat remains unbuttoned. l have often noticed
this insane habit Of men and marveled at it,
But there is one consolation, however,"
sighed the club man, as if he rejoiced in the
thought.
What's that?" inquired bystander

FROM the minneapolis Tribune.
"Talk about getting there" said an 9Th ward
preacher yesterday, 'if didn't break the rec
ord Christmas Sunday don't want the medal
1t was this way: Just half an hour before the
services opened my organist sent word that she
was i'll and couldn't appear. There we were, q
lot Of Christmas music prepared, with an or
gan voluntary for morning and evening on the
program. Then l came to the front, and with
half an hours ractice went on and played the
music myself. besides preaching the sermon
and leading the singing. You should have seen
me.
First, would read, then play an accom-
paniment, then dodge up again and pray, hop
ping up and down like bird on a twig, and I
got through all right, too. How did l manage
the voluntary? Well you see music is my pro-
fession-I do not call preaching a profession, it
is calling-and just improvised, mixing in
dance music, drawing the frisky notes out long
to make Sunday music out of them. Oh. was
all right. When my voice fails me will only
just have to fall back on my profession. Good
day. Got to fly, you know-mighty busy"
And the sturdy little preacher Owed for the
elevator and enlivened its downward trip on
the sam by singing few improvised bars of
opera to the Office boy.

The Phenomena of Light.

From the philadelphia Press.
Several theories have been advanced by the
scientists to account for the fact that we have
the ever-present phenomena known as eight"
The two principal of the many reasons thus
set forth by the learned gentlemen who have
devoted their lives to such investigation are the
emission or corpuscular theory, and that known
as the undulatory theory. The principles of
the emission theory originated in the fertile
brain of the philosopher, Descartes, who was
born way back in 1886. But little attention was
paid this peculiar theory at that time, and it
and Descartes were both almost forgotten when
about sixty years later, Sir Isaac Newton ap-
peared upon the scene and enunciated the same
doctrine.
According to these eminent men, light con-
sists Of small particles emitted by luminous
bodies, the velocity Of its transmission mainly
regulating the colors. The undulatory theory,
that now most generally accepted BY the
scientific world, teaches that the space between
the celestial bodies is occupied by an imponder-
able ether, and that the luminosity of q body il
supposed to be a rapid vibratory motion pro-
ceeding from the body in question to the eve
The waves OF light proceed in all directions
from every luminous point in straight lines,
the motions OF its particles being supposed to
undulate in transverse direction to the lines
In which the light travels. The velocity of
light is so great that the human mind cannot
grasp an idea Of the rapidity with which it
travels According to the best authorities at
tainable to the writer the distance travelled by
beam OF light in q single second of time il $780,
900 miles, This distance is SO great that no per-
ceptible space of time would be occupied in it's
passage between any two given points on the
earth's surface.

He Must Get q Iicense

Emanuel Murray,a colored man who keeps an
eating house on l4th street, was before Judge
Kimball this morning, charged with conducting
business without license. Last year he failed
to get his license until the police proceeded
against him. and this time Judge Kimban told
him he would have to pay for his sport He
was required to pay penalty Of S5, and the
judge gave him two weeks in which to procure
his license
Murray said he would have obtained his IL
cense before this if he could have collected his
bills.

Opportunities Lost by the Acceptance of a
Government Clerkship.

opportunities Lost by the Acceptance of q
Government Clerkship.
From Harper's Weekly.
To all young men who contemplate 4 Jour
ney to Washington for the purpose of securing
employment the best advice is don't. The
humblest situation in a mercantile house.
where the pecuniary reward is small, where the
hours are long and where the labor is hard, is
better in the end than government clerkship
One way lies opportunities for advancement
for the utilization and final reward of eyerv
talent and all the energy that the Young man
possesses. The other way lies hopelessness,
drudgery, stagnation.
Many poor young man seeks government
clerkship in order that he may earn his SUI port
while he is studying his profession He is TAX
ing up staff that is likely to become necessary
to him as a crutch. He is in danger Of discoy-
ering, when his profession is learned, that he
has not the moral courage to drop his govern
ment stipend. 1t would have been infinitely
better-it might have been his making-if he
had toiled for scantier dollars in a manlier way.
The government clerk drags out a monoto-
nous existence, dreary, unpromising of advance
ment, and if he is not turned out in his old age
to linger on through his few remaining years in
poverty he is one Of the most fortunate of his
kind.
There is no service that so DESTROYS the latent
energies and kills the hope as that Of q govern
ment clerk. Young men who think they have
the elements of success in them should avoid il
as they would the plague.
