And = Matter of Fact Policeman Saved
Him From suicide.
Laban Robertson thought he would
commit suicide yesterday morning, so

He then carefully removed his coat,
shoes and stockings, and says he would

him.
Robertson did not seem much surprls-

On his way to the jail in the patrol
wagon, he informed the officer that he
had suffered q great deal from heart
disease, and had on that account deter
mined to end his existence.

troubles are the more immediate reasons

c. w. Fox of Redwood City, Cal, has in his possession ono Of the most remark able ouriosities ever Tound on the Pacific coast nothing more or less than an aba- lone shell in theinterior of which, firmly incased in the pearly shell secretion, there is a haby's shoe and stocking. The shape isperfect in every particular, but the size indicates that the owner of these pedal coverings was a very young child The sole of tho shoe and the toe, badly worn and red from long continued water soaking. can be plainly seen when tho secretion has not entirely enyeloped it. The stocking is not visible, however. Threads of the wool can be drawn from the pearly incasement by using crochet hook or even Q bent pin.
 The buttons arc covered with abalone, looking like pendant pearls set in row down the side of this odd shaped shell The little tassel can still be plainly seen, as can also the hole where one of the but tons has been pulled out. There is but one tenable solution that can be given Tn explanation of this seashen mystery. The body of a drowned infant was being carried along by the tide when the foot passed into the open abalone shell, which of course instantly closed like vice. Then the imprisoned foot was held until severed from the body by decay. In the meantime the shellhsh was busily eu- gagged in covering the shoe, stocking and foot with its pearly secretions, -Phila. delphia Press.

FishermenIn ,ho cnliinstl

Mir. Cleveland has, it appears, gathered into bis cabinet an unusual number of fishermen. The fondness of the presi- dent for angling is well known. Last summer he wore his old clothes and fshed in Buzzard's bay without much attention 10 the campaign. Mr. Herbert is said to be a fisherman of great skill and infinite patience. Judge Gresham, too, knows how to bait hook. It is said that he has not been above fishing for perch off the piers about Chicago. Mir. Lamont knows how to fish, because Mir. Cleveland has taught him. Mir. Morton has not lived in a good fish country, and it may be that he has only fished for canned salmon in Nebraska groceries.
 Mr Bissell probably knows a few things about this idyllic diversion, but if he and Mr. Oiney are ignorant of the game they can be taught Potomac shad fishing is a good primary branch of tho sport, and a plaulled shad is a real lux ury, It is not safo to make a guess about Mr. Smith, but from his pictures we suspect that he will be able to con tribute some valuable fish information to tho cabinet circle of anglers.-Indian- apolis News.

NEARING HE TARTAN AND PLAID.
An Interesting Phasc of Scottish charao.

An Interesting phasc of Scottish Charac-
 ter Brought oat In Debate.
 There was an interesting debate in the English house of commons few days ago touching what is probably, next to the Roman tega, the most famous article of clothing that has ever been worn by man. It arose out of a plan to consoh- date the lilted regiment known as the Seventy-ninth or "CameIpnian High landers" with the Scots Grenadier Guards. a regiment which has nothing Scotch aboutit beyond the fact that Scott was the name ofitsfrst colonel
 This plan was no sooner noised abroad than it excited in Scotland the deepest indignation, being considered deliberate attempt to blot from existence one of the renowned highland regiments which ill kilt and tartan have, under the Brit ish flag, filled the world with Scottish glory. It is now nearly century and half since these regiments were raised, and for fully a century they were, if not highland, really Scotch regiments. As the supply of real highlanders began to run low, either through emigration or dislike of soldering, the lowlanders be- gan to feel themselves highlanders under the magic influence of Scott's novels.
 Those only who remember the account which Macaulay gives of the bathing with which the lowland Scotch in the eighteenth century looked on the high land garh and highland manners and customs will be able to appreciate the force of the spell bywhich Scott succeed ed, early in the nineteenth century, in disposing nearly every Scotchman to the notion that the kilt, the tartan, the phila- beg and blue bonnet were his original national raiment, in which he looked his best and which nothing but the advance of q gross and material civilization com pelled him to lay aside.
 The fancy for the highlands with which Victoria and Prince Albert were seized in their early married life com pleted the conquest which the Wizard of the North had begun and converted nearly all male Scots into true high landers to whom trousers or "breeks" were genuine incumbrance. Every man who came near Balnoral castle or aspired to deer stalking, grouse shooting and salmon killing, put on the kilt and tried to get his legs browned, as the only costume for persona grata The queen wGs So taken with the dress that she even insisted on putting her German sons-ia. law and grandsons-in-law into 1t in the Aummor and autumn, regardless of the danger to their hochgeboren knees.
 But most of the kilt weareTs nowadays are gamekeepers, gillies. guides and tour- ist touters generally, Mir. Campbell Bannerman, the English war secretary, himself 2 scotehman, speaking on tho question of the Cameronian Highlanders i in the house Of commons the other day said, ''An honorable and gallant gentle man, Scotchman and member of a great clan family, speaking on this sub iect 70 years ago. said that for his part he had never yet seen in Scotland a scotchnan wearing kilt unless he was paid to do so by an Englishman.

No North. No sortn.

The debate on the question whether the south is worse than the north or the north is as bad as the south in the mat tor of lynching criminals is neither edi- flying nor profitable.
 It makes not particle of difference whether tho mob in Michigan which burned q white woman was more ma levolont than the Texas mob which roast ed negro. They were both mobs, and they both committed an act which is a disgrace to nineteenth century civiliza- ton.
 We have q system of justice. and tho forms prescribed for it should be rigidly followed in all sections of the Union There ara delays in the administration of the law which are sometimes exasper- ating, but their tendency is ill the right direction-namely, to give tho accused every possible opportunity to prove his innocence. It is far better to be slow in such matters than sorry, for it has more than once happened in the history of this country that an excited crowd has got hold of the wrong man.
 Mob rule means disorder, and it should be discouraged by every patriotic citizen. As to north or south, there is no chance for controversy. As to executing q crim. iral and acquitting an innocent man these are the important and the only im- portant matters to consider. New York Herald,
