There are many reasons why Speaker
Crisp does not care to wear senatorial
toga in place of the simple tunic of the
house. He believes himself, and his
colleagues believe him to be the best
ringmaster of their number, and GER
tainly the clamorous session OF Thurs
day, where he refused to entertain an
appeal, refused to state his reason for
not doing so, refused to recognize the
rules requiring two -tellers, and even re-
fusing to put motion to adjourn, stamp
him as bulldozer of the most approved
pattern. But outside of these services
there is pecuniary difference of 5000
a year on the wrong side of the ledger il
Crisp accepted the honor conferred upon
him by Gov. Northern. And as he is
good for many years in the house at
$4,000 year it would be foolish, from a
financial point of view, to take the gift
of an unexpired term of senatorshlp.

FIRST "REFERENDUM"
CITY.

The city government of Haverhill,
Massachusetts, population 3O,O0O, has
formally petitioned the legislature to
amend the city's charter SO that it may
apply the Swiss initiative and referen-
dunn system to local legislation. AS
Haverhill is the first city in this country
which is about to adopt the system, and
as the republican and democratic parties
of Massachusetts, have endorsed the
system as promising method of reform
ing municipal government, the pioneer
experiment in this line will attract
attention.
The Haverhill plan provides that all
ordinances passed by the council shall
be classified as urgent and "non-
urgent" The urgent ordinances are
those referring to public health and
peace and those which appropriate funds
in any department greater than the
average sum appropriated for the pre-
ceding three years in that department.
Such measures do not fall within the
operation of the referendum and take
effect at once.
All other ordinances are "non-ur-
gent" and become operative in thirty
days, unless, in the meantime, petit
tion, signed by fifteen per cent. of
the voters of the city who voted
at the preceding annual election shall
be filed with the city clerk, asking for
the submission of the measure to pop
ular vote for adoption or rejection. If
adopted it is thereafter municipal law.
The Australian voting system is in use
in Massachusetts, and. the title of the
proposed measure will be inserted in the
official ballot. The mayor cannot veto
a measure thus submitted, and he is
thus shorn of an ancient prerogative.

Congressman Breckenridge should try
the insanity plea. 1t is not very manly
to plead that Miss Pollard is the case of
his downfall He was both old and
smart enough to be censor over his own
actions. The Tacoma Union saws !:
"When a man so years of age, a member
OF congress, a silver-tongued orator and
the husband of second wife, can sue
cessfully plead in self-justification that
a school girl seduced him, and for years
held him in Illicit relations, what can
be done in the prosecution of young,
everyday fellows on charges of seduc-
tion?''

Law Bother Him.
A ludicrous row over the separate
coach law occurred on the Cincinnati
Southern road recently. Sheriff Rob-
erts, of Boone county, had white and
colored prisoner, destined for the peni-
tentiary in this city, and took them
both in the colored coach. The con-
ductor, evidently not informed that
nurses and prisoners are exempt from.
the provisions of the law, insisted that
the sheriff should, leave the colored car
and take his white prisoner with him,
SAYS the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The sheriff refused to separate them,
but took both to the white car. The
conductor then told him he would have
to place his colored prisoner in the
proper car, and the sheriff replied he
would not do it, and if put off would
sue the company. The row became
threatening, and the sheriff. in order
to avoid trouble, went back into the
colored car when the train stopped,
and when again seen by the conductor
got back into the white car. In this
way they quarreled over the whole
route to Georgetown, but the sheriff
landed his prisoners in the peniten-
tiary securely locked together.

pipe of peacetha was handed toColumbus
when he first set foot on American soil
after leaving the good ship Santa Maria
The pipe is made out Of peculiar kind of
bamboo, very common in San Salvador.
The bowl is very large, showing that in
those days the people must have been great
smokers, or, rather, perhaps, that it was a
fete pipe and contained enough tobacco
for . whole assemblage to smoke The
stem surmounting the bowl is fashioned
out of a peculiar reed, and is quantity
carved with holes on the side, the use Of
which is incomprehensible. 1t might aptly
be called a flute pipe, for if the stem were
taken out Of the bowl and the mouthpiece
plugged it could be used as flute,-Col-

Bo Neglected,
Before baby takes the all-over morn
ing bath, there are sevet small de-
tails to be attended to which will
simplify matters for nurs, n mother,
and give to the little one . comforta-
bly-cleanly person.
Have at hand a cupful OF lukewarrn
water, together with two pieces Of soft
old linen, one OF which, dipped in
water, will cleanse the corners of the
eyes, while the other, wet with borax
and water and passed about inside the
lips, will give the mouth a wholesome
sweetness,
The head bath comes next, A velvet
sponge or the palm of the hand should
be dipped in water to which has been
added teaspoonful of borax, and
passed across the silky head-fuzz,
which, is then dried with some soft
fabric.
Now the tiny bather is ready for a
body-bath. The temperature of the
water must be carefully suited to its
system. If healthy and vigorous, ii
will enjoy tubful of tepid water;
but, II not very robust, baby should be
given q daily sponge bath for several
months, followed by vigorous rut
with alcohol or olive oil. applied with
the palm Of the hand. Either the al
cohul or the oil will be found strength
ening and a preventive of colds, hui
the alcohol, on account of its drying
propensities, is less desirable than the
oil.
Speaking of baby's bath, perhaps
some mothers would appreciate him
as to the getting up of a unique little
tub, which will furnish this sweetest
piece Of natures bric-a-brae with tht

Tying bow is an art that should be
ever present this season, owing to the

which art Frenchwomen are supposed
to excel in.

A Game of Robbing.

An almond grower of this locality hit
upon neat device for gathering his crop
His trees bore largely, and this early be-
came known to the yellow hammers, a
species of the woodpecker tribe of birds,
and they had regularly stored away large
quantities of ripe nuts taken from the
orchard in the limb of an oak tree near by.
The astute Jrchardist watched operations,
and at last hit upon novel nut and labor
saving plan, and he lost no time in putting
it into execution.
The limb was sawed from the tree and
replaced by square shaped funnel long
enough to nearly reach the ground; a
bucket was tnen set underneath. A gen
uine robbing game then went merrily on.
The birds gathered the nuts, which they
dropped into the funnel and down into the
bucket below, and as regularly as night
came the almond grower would in he turn
empty it Of his contents and set it back fel
a new supply. This was kept up until the
entire crop had been gathered, and the
yellow hammers had departed broker
hearted at the heartless deception practicec
upon them. .-Sutter City Enterprise
