IT is entirely proper that the bad
egg" question should be finally and
authoritatively settled, even ii the
matter should require adjudication
by the Supreme Court of the United
States. Pastor Plitzinger. who was
called bad egg by Bishop Dubs. has
been assured by Judge Grosscup Of
Chicago that the statement is not
libelous; that as matter OF fact it
is physical impossibility for him
Pastor Ptitzinger-to he an egg of
any kind-good, bad or Indifferent
while retaining a human form. 1t
has been pretty we'll settled that GER
tain persOns-United States senators,
for example-may be spoken of in
discriminatory and with equal cor
rectness as jackasses or as men, the
former term, perhaps, being the more
apt. But no one has hitherto been
able to justify the propriety of call
ing man an egg-particularly a bad
egg. Mr.. Pf1tzinger is therefore en-
tirely justified in demanding a de-
liverance on the question from the
Circuit Court OF Appeals, and, failing
a satisfactory opinion there. from the
highest tribunal in the land. The
egg question must not remain open,
especially dur<,g the summer theat-
rical season. when it assumes greater
Importance than ever.

Caught by the Battery.

Il once went up the Amazon and
OrinOcO rivers on an aninlal-captur-
ing expedition, said an old show
man. Il got quite a collection OF
snakes, birds, and monkeys. l hit
on Il novel plan for the capture of
the latter, and it worked like charm.
"A monkey is greater imitator
than Chinaman. He will do any
thing he sees done. and that is what
gets so many of his kind into the
cage, rugged up an electric battery,
and attached it to an apparatus that
would allow score OF the simians to
get hold Of it. then took a party
OF natives, and went into the forest
where there were troops OF monkeys.
I'VE put the apparatus down, at
tached the wire, and removed the
battery to a considerable distance
The natives then took hold of the
apparatus, danced aud yelled, and
then retired. The monkeys made a
dash for it. Half a-dozen caught
hold, and l turned on the current.
They began to shrek and squirm,
but the others thought their perfol-
nance a part of the program, and
fairly fell over each other to get hold
of the machine.
Il could have caught the whole
troop if they could have got hold of
the concern. We then made a de-
scent on them with sacks, and soon
had a score of them S,fe. But it
would only work once. We tried it
a month afterwards at point fifty
miles distant, but not monkey

viewed the proceedings without any
apparent desire to initiate our war
