stakes until the dealers and regular
players were thoroughly disguised. The
fellows were all right so far as food went
because the gam bling houses set out
sumptuous feeds. one place provided a regu-
lar DelmOnlCO dinner in the early after
noon and after that several others put
out spreads that would tempt an cpl

A Smart Farmer.

A certain baker in business in a small town
in Normandy obtained his supply of butter
from farmer IN the neighborhood. says the
London Telegraph. One day he discovered
that the pats. which were supposed to weigh
three pounds each. were not up to the stan
dard, and further examination revealed q
steady diminutiOn in the daily provision. At
last the baker lodged a formal complaint
against the farmer and the affair was brought
before the local court.
Have you scaleS:" inquired the magistrate.
Yes Monsieur lie Juge,n was the reply.
And have You any weights:n continued the
Judge. An answer this time in the negative
was as promptly given.
But how did you manage to weigh your
butter" asked the magistrate.
Then the farmer related that ever since the
baker had taken his butter he had returned
the compliment by buying his bread The
baker supplied him with three-pound Ioaves
and he had used them as weights for his
butter 1t is his fault not mine if the
weight is not correct" added the farmer, who
was speedily acquitted and left the court in
triumph with an escort of friends and admir-
ers. Since this trial the farmer is said to
have been supplied with more than his due
provision of bread but he has taken good care
not to fall into the opposite error, and the
baker has now his three-pound pats of butter,
full weight, but not an ounce more.

viii you allow me to add a touching in
stance of couarge to your pleasant bird
festivities a contributor in the London
Spectator. Early one morning last summer
l was called to the window by great noise
among the bird people Of the garden, and
saw the following scene: a young blackbird
was standing fascinated by a cat, who was
crouched under a bush ready to spring on
him. An old blackbird, on an lick close by
was uttering loud and agitated cries and there
was general cackle of anger and sympathy
from other birds all around. After few
secodns the cat sprang on the young bird and
held him down. At that instant the old bird
came down on them. There was a moments
struggle. the bird beating her wings violently
in the cats face, and think. pecking at her
eyes then the cat jumped back TO her bush
the young bird made of with long hops and
the old one flew up to the lex amid a jubi
liant chorus of commentator which lasted
quite some minutes. l never saw this before.
though I have seen a robin come quite close
TO a cat stalking another bird and scold and
flap his wings in her face.
The ways of birds are delightful and in a
small garden you can have many by keeping
earthenware saucers full of water for them
to battle in.

The possibilities Of modern architect
ure are well illustrated by a building
that has just been completed in New
York. 1t is ten stories high, and is fitted
with all the modern c0nvcnicnces. vet it
is built upon corner strip of ground
with Il frontage Of only rs feet 3 inches.
Under the old plan of building. walls
sufficiently strong to sustain the weight
OF ten stories would have taken up near
ly the whole of the meagre frontage. but
in the modern building there is as much
space on the first floor as any other.
md there is no secret about its construc-
ton, either. Instead of building heavy
brick walls, the architect employed steel.
A rigid skeleton OF steel based on con-
crete and braced on the cantilever plan
was run up, and this skeleton was coy
cred with a skin Of brick, wood and fancy
stone. No neighboriug structure was dis
turbed, nor was the sidewalk under
mined The little strip of building is
pronounced as sRong and safe as any Of
its big neighbors.

In Illinois particularly, but throughout
the country generally, il has been the Gus
tom OF contractors for public buildings to
employ convict labor largely. But under
democratic rule convict labor is not to be
permitted to compete with honest labor
on government works. The new SUPER
vising architect of the treasury depart
ment has issued an order directing that
all advertisements for bids and all con
tracts for public buildings shall in future
contain these words: mo convict laboror
thes product of convict labor shall be
used. - So general had the employment of
convict labor become in the northwest
that a very large percentage of the mum
Der of conyicts in the pcnitcntiary at
Joliet, H.. had been employed at cutting
stone and preparing other material for
public buildings.

The Hawaiin Muddle.

From the New Orleans PicayUne (Dem).
There are indications that before very long
the United states viii be compelled to come
TO some decision with respect to Hawaii. 1t
is very clear that we cannot allow any other
foreign power TO in any way interfere, but at
the same time. il is difficult to see how this
government can take sides in a purely civil
conflict in the islands. While the authorl-
ties at Washington may sympathiZe with the
opponents OF the monarchy, there would be
no precedent TO warrant armed Intervention.
Altogether the situation is decidedly mixed
in Hawaii, and the matter will present some
knotty problems Tor congress to solve during
the coming full.

Twisted Human villainy.

Here is q quaint story of twisted human
villainy that comes from the London Hos
pital: 1t is the custom in that hospital
when it is necessary to take the clothes off a
patient to give them to the nearest relative
to take home, A bad case was being brought
in the other day-an old woman struck down
with some terrible disease As they were
carrying her into the hospital. young woman
came rushing up with the cry: oh my
aunt. my aunt As the old lady was uncon-
cious. there was no obvious mode of veri-
flying this. but it was not unnaturally taken
on trust especially as the young woman
seemed to be suffering under genuine stress
of emotion.
After sitting for time by the bedside OF
her alleged relative, the young woman sud
denly said: Oh 1 cannot wait I am the
only person to look after her homel Give me
the clothes, and ! will 60" Without more
ado they gave her the clothes, and she disap-
peared.
Shortly after the old lady came to her
senses. The first thing she did was to look
wildly around her and call for her clothes
Your clothes: Oh, we have given them to
your niece. II is all right" said the nurse
Niece! but haven't got a niece" answered
the old woman. i have never had such a
thing And Instrumentation, mourning
and woe, The clothes had been stolen

Ex-Gov. Chamberlain, of South Caro-
lima, has really added nothing new to the
history of the great political deal of 1876.
He merely confirms the story as it is
generally known. Mr.. Chamberlain. il
will be remembered, was the republican
claimant of the governorship of South
Carolina whose claims were set aside by
the deal. His opinion is that the south
got the better Of the bargain, which,
from the south's standpoint was a Iegiti-
mate political transaction. However. the
subject was long ago closed.

The Home Rule Bill.

Mr.. Gladstone is pushing his home rule
bill through the House Of Commons with
commendable vigor. A number of the
most important provisions of it were
passed through the committee stage last
Thursday so quickly as to excite admira-
tion for his parliamentary skill.
A most important clause of the bill will
come to a vote this week 1t relates to
Irish representation at Westminster
There are at present l03 Irish members of
parliament The bill makes the number
so and deprives them of the right to
vote on questions which concern Great
Britain exclusively.
In respect to this clause, there is great
difference of opinion, even among the lib
erals. 1t is understood that Mr.. Glad
stone purposes to offer amendments max
ing important changes in it. The amend
ments have not been published, but the
character of them seems to be pretty well
understood by those in Mr.. Gladstone's
confidence.
Goubt that the bill will get through the
the House is pretty freely expressed by
the opposition, and even the adherents of
the government admit thai there are
serious difficulties to be overcome. With
aid of the the closure rule, however,
much is accomplished that would be
about impossible without it.
Speculation has begun as to what the
fate Of the bin will be in the House of
Lords, assuming of course. that it will
pass the Commons.
The majority of the Lords are against
it. 1t is expected, however. that public
sentiment will he so strongly in favor of
it that they will hardly dare 10 reject it.
If Mr.. Gladstone succeeds in getting his
bill through both houses he will have
achieved a triumph that ought to satisfy
his political ambition and make, him will
