Make II Thorough.

The unanimous adoption in the senate
yesterday OF resolution providing for
a committee OF five senator's ito inquire
whether any contributions have been
made by the sugar trust to any politi-
cal party for campaign or election
purposes, or to secure or defeat lsgisla =
tion; and whether any senator has been
speculating in sugar stock during the
pendencyof the tariff bill indicates that
the senatorial mood has lately and alb
ruptly changed. Substantially the
same investigation WAS proposed four
weeks before, and the matter was
incontinontly dropped upon the repre-.
ssntation Of one reverend senator that
paying attention to such idle rumors
would lower the senate's traditional
dignity.
A reversal thus marked, coming
within so brief a period after the orig.
inai refusal, indicates uncrringly that
public opinion has gathered force. 1t

CONSISTENCY.
On stolen trains

On stolen trains
Across the plains
And through the mountain passes
They take their flight
Through dark and light
In ragged, bowling masses.
Though marshals rage
And judges sage
Send out their stern injunctions,
They heed them not,
They care no lot
For laws more common functions.
To beg and steal
The commonweal
Claims right in every section
Lot others toll
They will not soil
Their hands in base subsection.
But still we smile
To think the while
These earnest mem are crying
For aid from tLis,
The law, that is
The thing they are detying.

Beauty More rhan Skin Deep.

Science says now that beauty is not
skin deep. She can tell you that half
the charm of a pretty face-at least the
expression-isa matter of little muscles
and complex 1abyrinth of nerves, and
that the curves OF the lips, the glance
of the eyes, the droop of their lids are
a matter of the prevalent use of certain
small muscles in obedience to preva-
lent aspect of the mind. Moreover,
that the use of these organs of express
sion has come down along ancestral
lines and that the mold of the features
themselves is question Of heredity.

John Bull Paid an Enormous Price to Keep
Russia Out of Turkey.
On July II, 1856, the Crimea was final
ly evacuated by the British forces after
the war of over two years, says Spare
Moments. All the remaining stores
and the establishments having been
embarked, a company of the Fiftieth
British regiment was posted outside
the town of Balaclava to receive the
Russian troops, and on their approach
marched in with the Russian guard,
which was composed of about fifty
mounted CoSSackS and a similar num-
Der of Cossack infantry. The usual
salute took place, the Russians placed
sentlneIs where they wished, and the
English troops marched on board ii.
M. S. Algiers. Gen. Sir William John
Codrington, chief in command of the
forces in the Crimea, and who died in
1884, embarked with his personal staff
at the same time. During this war the
British lost $500 killed in action or
died from their wounds; 4,244 of
cholera, and nearly 10000 who sue
cumbcd to other diseases, making a
total of 23,744, of whom 27O were Off
GERS, and besides these 1873 were dis
abled The loss of French allies was
estimated at 60, 500 men, while the loss
of the Russians on the opposite side
was recl1oned as high as 500, 900 men.
The war added to the British national
debt over $500, 1000, 900. Notwithstand-
ing the enormous amount expended
Britain asked from Russia no pecunia-
ry compensation, nor gained one inch
of land; but the defeat of the Russians
kept them out of Constantinople and
made the way to India and the east
clear. The memoirs of Earl Russell
show that it would have secured for
the Turkish empire much internal ben
eft if the French had been as disinter-
ested as the British, and not required
in that case some territory for them
selves.

MAN-EATERs OF THE PACIFIC.

Sharks That Are the Dread OF the Cali
forniA Fisherman.
The true man-eater shark as taken
on the Pacific coastsis known only as q
man-eater The shoyel-nosed sharks
are sand sharks, too cowardly to attack
even a yellow dog. The thirty-four
foot shark, captured by some fisher
men, of the true man-eater variety
(carcharodon carcharias), seemed brave
enough and savage enough to attack
anything within it's reach. This mon
ster's mouth was wide, the teeth long
and sharp, with an inward incline.
The stomach would hold a full-grown
man easily and a good deal besides.
The fish became entangled in net off
Point Lama. Two boats attacked the
vicious creature and finally succeeded
in punching an iron into its vitals. The
side of one boat was stove in by blow
.forcible enough to knock one fisherman
overheard.
These sharks, says the New York
Tribune, have been known to attack
small boat, upset it and eat the oars
man. A man-eater over forty-two feet
long has been reported below San
Diego The natives are said to live in
fear of this awful fish, which already has
the record of having eaten six men. 1t
has been shot frequently. The water
about it has been discolored with blood.
Yet the shark still lives. The tiger
shark is as ferocious as the man-eater
Another large shark hereabouts is the
basking shark. It is taken measuring
fifteen to forty feet in length. The
skin of one thirty-two feet long is at
Stanford University museum. It was
captured last March. This skin alone
weighs over fifteen hundred pounds.
while the sharks liver produced one
hundred and eighty gallons of oil
These sharks, however, are sluggish,
lazy and do not bite people. Their
gill-rakers are on the whale model
When entangled in a net they fre-
quently suffocate, as the net restricts
the gills.
California fishermen do not consider
fve-foot sharks of much account when
from San Diego wharves black sea bass
are caught six to eight feet long,
weighing three hundred to five
hundred pounds Such fish are
common. They are taken on shark
hooks and clotheslines. When hooked
the fish is allowed to swim about the
bay towing two-inch plank. When
he is exhausted the line is hauled in
and the fish killed with an ak.

The women to Blame.

Prof. Peal, the ethnologist, recently
described to the Asiatic society the
condition of the. head-hunting Nagas
on the borders of Assam. The women
are to blame for the continuance of
the practice; they taunt the young men
who are not tattooed, and the latter go
out and cut off heads to exhibit to
them, fully half of which are those of
women and children. The area occu
pied by the tribe is not more than
twenty miles square, but in it during
the past forty years more than twelve
thousand murders have been commit
ted for the sake of these ghastly tro-
phies.
