i'DDER IS A GOOD WORD.
That Is the Conclusion of a Thcatrical
Advance Agent.

Il was standing on the platform of
the station at Binghamton awaiting
the arrival of the local train, when an
old man approached. He wanted to
get to New Milford, where his wife's
sister lived" said the advance agent of
a theatrical company which will shortly
be seen in Scranton, to a Tribune man
yesterday.
"'What time does the train go to New
Milford?' he asked. Six O'clock was
my reply.
Does the train stop there% 4 don't
know said |, you had better ask the
ticket seller He continued To ask
questions until another venerable citi-
zen relieved me from further trouble by
calmly telling me the man was deef as
an uddcr
Il had i'm physical research learned,
and have also heard that a certain
species of venomous reptilia known
commonly as adder is bereft of the
sense Of hearing and intuition told me
that he had reference to this grade of
snake. | requested him to repeat-hc
did so and it was 'udder' again. In the
meantime the old man began con-
versation about bank failures in Bing-
hamton. His subject was a man who
had evidently had smallpox, for he not
only showed the marks, but unlimited
fortitude In the discussion.
MY uddcr' friend cXpcctorated an
immense amount of yellowish liquid in

than thirty years ago | was anxious,
however. TO learn more about the snake,
so 1 asked him If he had ever seen an
'udder.' We'll, young man, | can't say
as to that, but I'VE heard they are

Webster, but If YOU had new set of
false teeth and big chew of tobacco

he helped the dccf man aboard, he
yelled so that everyone could hear him:
'Cy. don't forget the third stop, turn to
the right and its the fourth house. !
fell to musing on the expression as
'deef as an udder. My conclusion was
that in the anatomy of the cow the
udder supplies our lacteal fluid, but
this has no bearing on deef' man'un-
less he Is addicted to drinking milk.
| However IL Is just as good as the word
adder, only it's not used so frequently,
but may be some day, especially If we
all get to the false teeth and tobacco
chewing stage"

full never to pay it to me in person.
But on the last day of each month there
was a little heap of gold and silver
piled by the side of my inkstand, and u
neat little receipt made out ready for
me to sign. l signed 1t, laid it on his
desk when he was not looking and it
was never mentioned. He would some
times dictate his letters over and over
again until they suited him, and he
would say, Take notice, now, this is
no criticism of your work. | am cor

would think the accent on the
second syllable as he wanted
it, and then when l came on
to speak it, out would pop the accent
on the first syllable He restrained his
rage under these provocations beauti-
fully. but one day he came perilously
near scolding when he turned to me
with a bland face after one of these
blunders and said Mr.. j, will you
kindly go to your room and close the
door and say inquiry over and over
till you are completely satiated"

weed and mussels, had had power to
resist the forces Of the tide and tempest.
All the winter long the old pile kept
the opals safe and sound
But one day, when the peach and
pear and plum trees had in turn burst
into blossom on the isles. and the hocks
of gulls who had survived the stress of
famine and cold had returned to their
feeding places on the outer lagoons. y
large iron ship coming from the Black
sea gave a rude shock in passing to the
old oak pile; the top of 1t under the
blow parted and fell asunder; the neck
lace was washed out of it's hiding place
and, carried in the heavy trough Of the
steamers path, was floated ashore up
the creeks into the long grasses and
reeds beneath the Devils bridge at Tor
cello. The yellow water iris was then
Towering, and two little reed warblers
were nesting among the flags, as the
opals were drifted up under some hem
lock leaves and there rested.
81 think they are eggs, but they are
all strung together" said the warbler
to his mate
lhey look more IKE the spawn OF q
FISH" said the little winged lady, with
scorn.
A water rat came up and smelt at
them, then went away dsdanfully--
they were not good to eat. For birds
and beasts do not care for jewels: it is
only humanity, which thinks itself SUI
perior to them, which sees any value In
stones, and calls such toys precious.
There is nowhere in the world any
grass richer than that of Torcello, and
forget-me-nots, honeysuckles, and wild
roses grow down to the waters edge
and around the hoary stones of the de-
serted isle.
What n God-forgotten placer said a
young man as he sprang from boat
on to the bank by the bridge.

I ship, without their knowledge or con-
sent, and for twelve months they have
been in more or less open revolt. Home
rule is still more or less to the fore,
but 80 much time and energy having
been wasted over that to no purpose,
tn. party is now crying out for at
tcntion to other matters still nearer
home and such questions as Welsh dis
establishment, English local govern
mcnt, parliamentary procedure, man
hood suffrage and payment of mem
bcrs, to all of which the party as
whole is pledged, have each their sepat-
ate faction clamoring for precedence,
and agreed upon nothing except to dis
agree as to any method Of procedure
likely to result i'm concerted and unit
ed action.
Lord Roscbery, therefore, presents
the spectacle Of Il leader out Of touch
with his forces by reason of his con-
nection with an unpopular and nom
representative chamber, devoid of the
confidence of a large section of his
nominal followers, unable to control or
combine the struggling factions among
those who acknowledge his leadership,
faltering and uncertain in his own eX-
pressed opinions with regard to a
domestic policy and fully aware that
his uniitness for the post, obtained by
intrigue and retained against the
wishes of many in the party, is hourly
| working the ruin of that party. Add to
| these things the fact that, except for
| Gladstone, who for the moment cannot
| be .eckoned as Il factor Nn English poll
| tics, there is no man in the Liberal
party who under existing conditions
would assume its leadership, and that
| the Conservatives could not hope to
| form a successful coalition with any
| other stray faction, and you have the
| reason why the resignation of Lord
| Roscbery now would necessitate an i'm
mediate dissolution.
What of the Result?
What the result of the general cleo
tion will be the most experienced politi-
| cal campaigner in either rarty will not
venture to affirm, though at present it
seems inevitable that failing the reap
pearance of Gladstone in the fight,
the Liberals will encounter certain de-
| feat by reason of their want of cOhe-
sion and for lack Of generalship. Num-
bering many men of great gifts and at
tainments among its ranks, the Liberal
parry has yet no one who can arouse In
its hosts the true militant spirit, or can
display such personal enthusiasm and
| staying power as can w. Z. Gladstone
even though nearing four score years
and ten. For nearly twenty years
since Disraeli retired from the lower
house, he has lowered above and over.
| shadowed all his contemporaries, sc
that the oldest and best seem but as
young, untried and inexperienced men
who now, in the hour of party need, are
unable to command the confidence Of
their fellows by reason of their insig
nifcance as compared with the great
ness of the leader who for over half {
century has occupied the foreground IL
every political battle.
1T would be interesting TO speculat,
further as to the immediate destiny

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 CHASTITY tro-
phieS
