Who did say Rats?

To relieve the doughty Editor

mands of "those more competent

WE LEAD THE WORLD.
In Astro-Physics American Savants Are
Now Pre- eminent.

Now prc-cninent.
From the Chicago Herald.
1t ia little curious that America
should lead the world in the field of
astro-physics. In chemistry Ameri-
cans recognize the Germans as easily
their masters, and in many other de-
partmentS of science, as we'll OF course,
as in art, the old world is master. But
in this branch of astronomy the savants
of Europe are willing to learn of the
younger nation. The great observatory
at Potsdam, near Berlin, is perhaps as
well equipped as any in Europe; but
even there there is a lack of funds
which hinders the free working of the
astronomers. 1t would be an easy
thing for the observers to secure the
needed public funds were 1t not for
the immense amounts needed for the
army. And with their taxes already
enormous, the Germans decline to add
anything to the equipment of their
royal observatory.
In America, with single exception,
the work of astronomers has been car
ried on at private expense. That IS,
1t has either been done at private OBJ
servatories, as at the Lick and the
Kenwood, or in colleges which are en-
dowed by individuals. There are no
government allowances made for them.
The Germans pay willingly for their
operas, as do the French. But they
decline to spend the needed money on
so valuable a science as astronomy.
Here in America neither public nor
private purse will open to provide the
populace with music; but there is no
hesitation when it comes to endowing
colleges or establishing observatories.
And the end of it must be that the
science of astronomy must look for its
best interpreters among the American
scholars.
No better proof of this precedence is
furnished than in the new magazine,
the Astro-Physical Journal, which be-
gan with the beginning of the year, and
to which astronomers all over the world
are contributing articles which must
be given a high place in the literature
of astronomy. Professor Hale is editor
in chief of the magazine, with James
Il. keeler, director of the Allegheny
observatory, as associate. j. $. Ames,
of the Johns Hopkins university;
Henry Crew, of the Northwestern; w.
w. Campbell, of Lick observatory, and
T.. b. Frost, of Dartmouth, are asso.
ciate editors The publication is filled
with matter of the greatest interest to
students of this science, though OF
small value to the mass of people who
take little interest in the study. The
March number will contain articles by
astronomers of Hungary, Austria and
Holland.

THE DOORKEEPER COLLAPSED
Tried Ills Level Best to Enforce the Rule S,
but Failed


A good story illustrating the restric-
tions thrown around visitors to the SEN
ate gallery Is told by the Washington
Post. A well groomed, up-to-date young
woman, with "a big fur cape over her
arm and a magazine in her hand, en-
tered the gallery, apparently unaware
of the sacred ground upon which she
was treading. She stood in a contem-
plative mood back of the seats, sur
veying the sense-soothing scene, evil
IDENTIFY occupied In Il mental debate with
herself over the desirability of re-
naming, when the doorkeeper hustled
up to her and told her in a whisper
that made Senator Hill don his specs"
and scan the gallery that 1t was "agin
the rules to stand" So she tripped
down to a front seat, where she To-
Gated, and putting her cape on the stone
coping for u cushion to shield her ell
bows, leaned over to study the styles in
bald heads.
In about two minutes the attendant
rushed noisily down the steps and in
the same sepulchral whisper told her
1t was "agin the rules to put anything
on the railing" Senator Harris, i'm the
chair, frowned up her way, and she
blushingly removed the cape. Senator
PETER was giving some information in
his soft, low voice, and under his
soporific influence she nearly went to
sleep with her head on the back of the
seat and her half-closed eyes studying
the painted plaques in the ceiling. In
her abstraction she dropped her maga-
zine. Back came the doorkeeper with
another piece of information. "She
must not drop things; it disturbed the
senator's" Half a dozen senators looked
up to see If an anarchist had got into
the galleries, and the girl back of her
giggled. She held her ground, however,
and presently opened the magazine and
began to read. Again the doorkeeper:
You amt allowed to read in this here
gallery; it's agin the rules"
She sat for a moment, wrath in every
feature, glaring down at the heads be-
low Just as the doorkeeper sat down
she turned and beckoned him vigorous
ly. He came dumping down, and as
he bent over her she asked him in a
whisper that must have ratified the
weather meter in the marble room,
Can l yawn?' The laugh that rippled
around the gallery was not caused by
the remarks of the senator from Kan
sas. and the young lady was not again
mOlested.

NOTHING LIKE 1T.
DR.. Kenncdy's Favoritc Remedy Makes
Another Remarkable Cure.

U'rom the Times Union, Albany, N. "
-Four years ago, Mrs. Markham, who re-
sides on First street, corner of North
Swan, noticed n sensitive spot on her left
limb. II was apparently nothing serious
but soon developed into a sore. and be
fore long the limb was mass. of ulcers
Mrs. Markham employed some of our best
physicians, u dozen or more in all but she
obtained no relief. In fact was told that
nothing could be done for her so for
four years she suffered with these dread
full ulcers, which have eaten their way to
the bone.
A little less than year ago. an ac-
quaintance told her about Dr. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy, and that he be-
leved she would find relief in using it,
Mrs. Markham's four years of suffering
had made her skeptical, the more so, as
she had obtained no relief from any of the
numerous physicians who had attended
her during these years of suffering.
The friend offered to send her a bottle
Of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy If she
would try II. He did 80, and there was
such a decided Improvement that she
concluded to give the remedy a fair test.
Today, not quite year after taking the
first dose, the ulcers have disappeared, all
that Is left to show what she has suffered
Is "a swelling on the anl0lc Of the left limb,
which Is fast disappearing
Mrs. Markham Is naturally strong In her
praises of Dr. David KennedY's E'avorite
Remedy, and feels that but for 1t she
would now be a helpless cripple, If not a
corpse.
Such n straightforward Endorsement
needs no comment. DR.. Kennody's Favor

Drunkenness No, a Penal Offensc.

Austrians seem determined to maintain
their reputation for being the most merry
and pleasure-loving people in Europe. for
their parliament has just rejected, with a
considerable show of indignation, a bill
making drunkenness penal The oppon-
ents of the measure found no difficulty in
convincing the house that the established
habits of the people We're such that it was
impossible to punish this failing, and that
the feasts and family drinking bouts
which have been customary among the
population for over a thosand years can
not be abolished by law.

er. but Angela was firm, so again kiss
ing her hand, he reluctantly departed.
1t was bad time to leave town, as
most of Forrester's friends We're them
selves in London, save few votaries
of fishing.
ITS an absurd freak this of yours,
said Dixon to his friend and client. as
they sat together in the formers pri
vate room, the day after the foregoing
interview.
"Oh, | am not London man; like
a scamper in the country, and I'll have
a look at that place on the borders. |

to India"
I'm not! Even If l am robbed of
my inheritance my kinswoman can
well afford a couple of thousand"
That's rather an unprincipled
speech, Forester. l am afraid it Will
be some time before you are put out or
suspense, for there is a heap of busi-
ness just now in the probate court"
1T is all an internal nuisance cried
Forester, impatiently.
Very natural you should think so,
but time and the hour run through the
darkest day 1t is well you took my
advice and postponed sending in your
papers"
"Oh, don't croak, Dixon! l believe it
will all come right, so goodbye, old
chap. l will let you know my move
ments from time to time
Yes, do, and I'll keep you informed
of the state of affairs here" They
shook hands, and Forester went on
his way-if not rejoicing, at least not
seriously disturbed.
The succeeding weeks left an impress
sion of restless discomfort on the gal
liant lancer's memory. He wandered
to and fro, finding one place more in
tolerable than another. He tried his
hand at fishing and vowed old Johnson
was right when he described it as a rod
with fly at one end and fool at the
other. He visited various shooting
boxes advertised for sale, and arranged

fore his client. 1t appeared that Miss
Selwyn was legitimate. The certificate
of her fathers and mothers marriage
in an obscure village church. as well as
her own birth, n couple of years later,
in German town, were in her solicit
tors hands.
George Selwyn, a man of weak char
acter, had been overwhelmed with grief
when his wife died. not long after the
birth of their daughter, and gladly ac-
cepted the offer to adopt her made by
the child'S maternal aunt, who was
housekeeper in a noble family, and well
off for her station. From thence for
ward he seemed to forget that he was n
father, and his siter-in-law, never quite
believing in the legality of his mar
riage, and too glad to keep the mother
less little girl as her own, lost sight
of Selwyn until, about a.year before his
death, she received a packet addressed
her inhis handwriting and accompanied
by letter in which he directed that
the packet should not be opened until
the little Sarah was nineteen, or his
brother John was dead. He had always
cherished the hope of reconciliation
with his wealthy powerful brother,
who would never have forgiven him a
low marriage. But death took him
from mundane hopes and schemes.
The news of John Selwyns death did
not reach his niece till a considerable
time after the event. Then her aunt
opened the packet and found the papers
now in her solicitors hands. nor did
the fact that his intestacy transformed
her adopted daughter into an heiress
occur to her till suggested by a friend
of her husband who also recommended
her to a solicitor.
Il
