When Turpie sat down there was hush
upon the chamber. Every one was amazed
at the personal character of the attack
upon Aldrich.
Then all eyes were turned on the Rhode
Island senator. He arose slowly. In the
position the senator from Indiana now

'he speaks for no one but himself. Under
other circumstances and conditions do

Aldrich took his seat. The incident
closed without another work.

The Typical American

The typical Americans have all
been Western men, with the eXcep-
ton, let US say, OF Washington.
Washington had not had much Of
European culture. The qualities
that made him a great commander
and a great President, were qualities
which would have made him,an equally
great frontiersman. You cannot
imagine Hamilton, or Madison, OF
Livingston, or John Adams, or the
P~inckneys living tolerably on toe
frontier. They are not Americans in
the sense in which Clay and Jackson
and Lincoln are Americans. We may
wish that the typical Americans OF
the past had had more knowledge, a
more cultivated appreciation Of the
value Of what was old and estab-
lished, a juster view of foreign nations
and foreign politics; that they had
been more like Webster and less like
Jackson; and we may hope that tie
typical American OF the future VIII
be wiser and better poised. But in
the meantime the past is to be under
stood and estimated as the facts
stand, and only a thoroughly sympa-
thetic comprehension OF these men
who have actually been the typical
Americans, will enable us to effect
that purpose. The fact that Clay
rather than Webster, Jackson, and
not John Quincy Adams represented
the forces which were really predomi-
nant and dlstinctively American in
OIr ~elOnm is commentary
enough on any theory that makes
either OF the peculiar sections of the
Atlantic seaboard the principal or
only theater Of American history
The Forum.

about ninety feet. This height rep

There have been great changes in
the United States Government depart
ments in the last thirty years. The
first woman regularly employed was
put on the rolls of the Navy Depart
ment thirty-five years ago. She was n
young widow, and the officials consid-
cred it an awful problem how to dis
pose OF her. Finally they hit upon a
plan. They treated her as if she was a
contagious disease and isolated her in
an attic room. She received and re-
turned her copying by messenger.
But the disease caught on, SO to speak,
and to-day there are 1000 women in
the Treasury alone. There is one

A Hard Nut to Crack.

A professor of logic, who was not
particularly lucid in his distinctions,
was on one occasion e%ndeavoriug to
substantiate that IAN article remains
the same Notwithstanding the sub
stitution OF some OF its parts"
A young student held up his knife
and inquired:
Suppose 1 should lose the blade
OF this knife, and should get another
one made and inserted in its place,
would il be the same knife IL vas be-
fore?"

'Of course" the professor replied.
"But IL somebody should find the

should put them together, what knife
would that be-"

WHILE hundreds OF thousands OF
people in England are in dire want
or on the verge Of want the British
Parliament, wise in its age, is about
TO continue giving Duke Alfred OF
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha $50, 900 a year for
being Duke OF Edinburgh. In his
capacity rs Duke OF Edinburge Duke
Alfred is OF no more service TO the
people OF England than is the Pa
Hang OF Mehang. Why he should be
given $50, 600 a year of the peoples
money is more than the finite mind
can understand. And why a country
professedly democratic should cling SO
tenaciously and with such reverence
TO customs OF ages when kings were
hedged with div nifty is another prob.
lem too deep for the finite mind to
solve. Parliament will probably con-
tinue the gift, not that il loves
democracy less but nine-spot dukes

That Funny Little Monkey.

Jocko, the oldest exhibit in the
monkey-house at the Zoo, Central
Park fights his many battles with
sawdust. Jocko comes from Africa.
He once adopted an orphaned rhesus
monkey baby and created quite a
name for himself. Since then he has
had two wives, both Of whom have
died, nj now he has the third of
whom he is very fond. He is so much
in love with her that if any one at
tempts to pet her he gets furious and
if there is any missile handy he lets
il fly at the intruder or into the crowd.
He has learned that a handful of saw
dust thrown into faces Of a gazing
crowd causesg great discomfort. Lately
two elderly women approached Jocko's
cage.
'Oh, what a funny little monkey"
one observed TO the other, singing
out Mrs Jocko and handing her a
nut JOcko was on the watch, and
both women received several hand
fuls OF sawdust plump in the face.
1t ran down their neckS, got into one
woman's ears and into the hair OF
both. Jocko followed this up with
two or three crusts of bread, an apple
core and a sticky piece of banana.

~ A COW.


The New York and the Etruris Broke
Down In the same spot.
The crew OF the Etruria says il
was all due 70 a dead COW. Whether
this is the fact or not neither Capt
Walker OF the Etruria nor Capt
jameson OF the New York can tell,
although both think 1t a strang oc-
currence that the two great steam
ships, 10Th bound west, should have
broken down on the same day, in
exactly the same latitude and longi-
tude. BY a singular coincidence the
steamships were each delayed ten and
a half hours for repairs, and each OF
the vessels was about twelve hours
late in making the port The Etruria
reached New York Sunday morning,

that all we're we'll. She was proceed

Warmth i'm Jewelry.

There is an ancient and honorable
anecdote in which a gayly clad woman
In evening dress complaining OF cold
is advised by an elderly Quaker TO
put on another breastpin." There
seems TO be enduring fun in the idea
OF the warmth OF jewelry, says the
New York Sun. AS a matter or fact,
jewelry properly disposed raises the
temperature perceptibly. The slight
friction OF a necklace keeps the
throat warm. A diamond necklace
or a strand Of pearls may ward of
bronchitis or la~Iyngitis Children
who used to wear coral beads have
been known TO eaten cold when these
were taken oil. Bracelets keep the
wrists warm. Every woman &C
customed to wearing bracelets knows
how cold her wrists feel when these
are removed. The handsomer the
bracelet the warmer she feels Pre-
