Whenever these young samurai Q1nights)
would call on me to enlist me in their
dark plots Of mischief, the same little
lady used to come in with dainty sweet
meats, pictures and toys, and in the most
fascinating way persuade us to give up
such expeditions, and to sit close around
her while she would tell us stories. Oh,
what blissful days were those in the old
home, and how well l remember those
stories, old old tales of prince Peach
ling and the like, vet so fresh and in
teresting, especially when told by this
lady of mine. What was there in them
to make us feel ashamed of killing frogs
and prosecuting black cats? 1t was sure
ly only the charm Of her exquisite tact
which made us feel as though we were
good, big and strong men-chivalrous
defenders willing to be kind to every one.

1t Is poison to the worms, though only
very slightly poisonous to people, and
there is no possible danger that 1t can

Custom places the front Of the poultry
house to face the south, yet the sun does
not send the heat into such houses in
winter till late in the morning. A poul-
try house should face the southeast, and
then the heat and light will enter as
soon as 1t rises, warming the interior
ait a time when the fowls desire warmth
the most, which is when they first come
off the roosts in the morning. In the win

RESERVED SEATS.

This blessed country is chock full of
genius running TO seed. 1t pops up in the
most unexpected places and originates the
most astounding propositions. In fact, one
feels never quite safe from il, for il is liable
to present Itself in all sorts of guises and
yet all of a sudden 10 the most extraordinary
things This by way of prelude.
The bad air in the Senate chamber has
long been a matter Of comment and COM
plant, on the part of both Senators and
public. 1t Is generated, of course, when
the Senate is at work doing nothing and
the people present to see that il does that
right. The problem has long been con.
sidered how to purify the atmosphere of
the "fogbank'' and all suggestions have
been found impractcable.
Now, however, a gentleman, who re-
joices in the euphoniuus patronymic of
Woodbridge, appears upon The scene, and
to solve the vexatious problem is just as
easy to him as rolling off a log. He would

FOR A Low RATE OF SPEED.

The proposition to increas the speed OF
our street cars from nine to twelve
miles an hour should be rejected by
the Commissioners. Compared To other
cities. there are fewer street railway
casualties in Washington than elsewhere.
and the reason for this nappy exemption
from frequent accidents is because our
cars are run at lower rate of speed.
Most accidents are the result of the reck-
less manner in which passengers try 10
jump on or Off street ears. and the more
rapid car is run the greater the liza bilty
TO life or limb. Then. again, The rate OF
speed should never be so high that car
cannot be stopped within its length. This
cannot be done when il travels more than
seven or eight miles an hour.
What street car patrons want is pro-
lection from danger. Necessity compels
them TO ride in the cars while travelling
from one locality To another, and when
the risk is excessive they do not feel like
riding. The Commissioners Will do well
to diminish rather than increase the pres
ent rate OF speed.

La Grande Nation.- as the French
love 10 call themselves, is sometimes what
the late laniented Artcinus Ward used to
say of his kangaroo-"a ;noosin little
cuss." For in no serious mood can the agi-
tation about the antecedents of President
Faure's father-in-,aw be regarded. Even
Frenchnen themselves. one would think.
would hardly take "'au serieuX" the CON
tention that because half hundred years
ago Mime. Faure's papa had been guilty
of some peccadilios for which he was
sentenced to term of iInprisonment-
which, however, he never served, for the
reason that he died before ne could be
taken TO prison-therefore President Faure
ought to make way for another.
The fact. however, that this matter is
discussed in the French newspapers with
seeming seriousness, raises the question to
what extent a man may become disquali-
fled for the assumption of a public trust
through the shortcomings not only of his
own ancestors. bat those of his wife and
his wife's relations. How, if the great
grandmother of the beloved spouse's fourth
cousin had eioped with the coachnIan?
Would this be regarded as an in
surmountable obstacle IN the way OF
the husbands honorable ambition to
be elected a justice of the peace?
Or, would the incarceration of her
great-uncles brothcr-in-law for stealing
an umbrella forever block the husbands
march to public preferment?
Nobody has even breathed suspicion
against the integrity and perfect honor
of President Faure himself. So far as
the public is aware ne has always conducted
himself like an honorable gentleman and
no blenish stains his character. What
absurdity, therefore, to question his fitness
for Els position because his father-in-lsw
at some time forsook the narrow path of
rectitude and went astray.
