The democratic party has denounced
every policy which the republicans ever
embraced and then stole it. 1t has
even taken the negro to its bosom and
extended over him the protection of
counting his ballot-as 1t was not
voted. The negro is no longer a factor
in politics. The republicans don't care
to take him up, and the democrats
can't spare him in the construction Of
their maiortties.

Pop EiG-PiPE.
The Queer VIII of a Famous Dutch Smoker
Who Died at Ninety Eight.

In its discussion of the question
whether it is injurious to smoke to-
bacco, the Cleveland Plain Dealer re-
calls the history Of Mynheer Van Klaes.
famous old merchant in Holland. VINO
was such an inveterate smoker that he
was nicknamed Pop Big-Pipe." He
made a large fortune in the India trade,
and built mansion near Rotterdam. in
which he collected every imaginable
kind of pipe. 1t was said that he
smoked one hundred and fifty grammes
of tobacco every day, and died at the
age of ninety-eight years. In making
his will, after bequeathing to his rela-
tives, friends and charities large pro-
portion of his estate, he added the foi
lowing clause:
Il wish every smoker in the kingdom
to be invited to my funeral in every
way possible, by letter, circular and
advertisement. Every smoker who
takes advantage of the invitation shall
receive as a present ten pounds OF TO-
bacco and two pipes on which shall be
engraved my name, my crest, and The
date OF my birth. The poor OF ne
neighborhood who accompany my bic-'
shall receive every year on the anniver-
sary of my death large package OF TO-
bacco. | make the condition that all
those who assist at my funeral, if they
wish to partake Of the benefits o. FAY
will, must smoke without interruption
during the entire ceremony. My body
shall be placed in coffin lined through
out with the wood of my old Havana
cigar boxes. At the foot OF the coffin
shall be placed box of the French 70
bacco called 'Capora' and a package Of
our old Dutch tobacco. At my side
place my favorite pipe and 9 box OF
matches, for one never knows what
may happen. When the bier rests in
the vault all the persons in the funeral
procession are requested to cast upon it
the ashes of their pipes as they pass it
on their departure from the grounds"
1t is said that Van Klaes, on the day
that he made this eccentric viii, sum
moned notary, who was also a notable
smoker, and said to him: Fill my pipe
and yours. I am going to die" He
then dictated the will and died

The figure of 1927 miles per hour for

error Of a second the rate would sill
have been 100 miles an hour. Between
Jersey City and Philadelphia it is q
common occurrence for the engines

so miles an hour. Speeds OF over 81 miles
an hour are often made by the Ph;la-

Northern train has made 81. miles an

POLAR BEAR AND WALRUS.
Strange Association Existing Between the
Two Animals.

Strange Association Existing Between the
Two Animals.
Old voyagers in Behring sea tell of a
strange association between the wal
rus and the polar bear. The walrus
furnishes the principal food of this
great carnivore, which is his deadliest
Zoe, in fact, yet to see them together,
as they frequently are encountered,
one might think they were boon com
panions. Lying upon the field ice will
often be seen patches" of walrus con-
tanning from thirty to fifty and with
each of these groups will be found the
polar bear. They all are apparently
resting together in the happiest sort Of
unity Occasionally a walrus fops into
the water and sinks leisurely into the
depths, while others will be seen
emerging the-efrom and climbing up
on the ice.
The bear becomes hungry and de-
cides he will dine with the walrus that
day. He rises to his launches and swavs
himself heavily upon all tours. After
yawn and stretch he saunters to the
nearest walrus and swings his power
full paw in a crushing blow on its
head, instantly killing the animal. He
then proceeds leisurely to make COM
Portable dinner off the unfortunate OBJ
ject of his selection. This perform
ance, apparently, does not startle the
others. They continue to bask IN
disturbed, seemingly Indifferent to the
fate of their comrade and awaiting
their turn like stoics. The female wal
rus with young, however, does not toll
crate the presence of the bear. She
regards him with merited suspicion,
and promptly takes to the water with
her offspring on his appearance.

Mr.. SLUDGE, THE MEDIUM.
The Poet Browning Detected an Imposi-
ton on His Wife.


Mr.. Frederick Greenwood, in his per-
sonal recollections, written for the
Realm" tells the following story:
Every who lives with books has
heard that Robert Browning's 'Sludge,
the Medium reflected upon Home, and
most people have also heard that the
celebrated creature succeeded in bring
ing Mrs. Browning under his influence
completely. But the trick that unde-
ceived her eve must SUPPOSE is not so
well known. 1t may have got into
print, but, if so, 1, for one, have never
seen it, and tell the story as it was told
by Browning himself. Home had been
about the Brownings good deal, knew
many people known to them; was, in
his tea-party way, an agreeable sort of
person; and there were seances here
and seances there; and said the poet,
casting vague look about the room to
express his bewilderment, 4 don't know
how it was. did my best, but little
by little he gained her over to believ-
ing in him; how much to my distress,
imagined After awhile Home found a
yet more excellent way of working on
the poor lady's mind. She had lost a
little child by death, and, her own
wishes running out to embrace the
promise, he began to hint that some day
he would bring the little ones spirit
into her presence. But he was slow in
performing this promise-naturally for,
otherwise, he would have lost the adj
vantage of an excited expectation,
often stimulated and as often baffled.
At last an evening was named when
the mothers yearning should be
satisfied In the customary way, light
was shut out Of the room when the
three sat down, and the usual rap
pings and questionings and invoca-
tions went on for time, and then
then the child's spirit was to ap-
pear. And, sure enough, there did
arise above the edge of the table some
thing that was whittier than the dark,
that seemed to have a motion of it's
own and the luminousness of living
thing, and that might vertically be
what poor Mrs. Browning fancied it.
But, conscious of her trembling state of
mind, her husband was in another
guess sort of passion. 4 suddenly
sprang up, dashed my arm across the
table, and took hold of-what do you
think? The scoundrel's obscene foot
nakedl' The flaming anger in which
Browning finished the story-after SO
many years, too-left no doubt about
what happened next to the celebrated
medium He was instantly and
literally kicked out of the house; his
shoe and stocking after him, no doubt"

TIPS IN ENGLAND.
Gamekeepers Scorn Anything Less Than
FIve-Pound Note.

Gamekeepers Scorn Anything Less Than
a FIve-Pound Note.
A retired AngloIndian officer has
published his notions on the subject of
tips" Thackeray's Col. Newcome, it
will be remembered, made a sort of
royal progress through England on his
return from long sojourn in the east,
rewarding postboys with gold and max
ing walters happy with handfuls of
silver, says the London Daily News.
This reminds the Anglo Indian officer
that there are no tippers so hardened
and profuse as Anglo-Indian tippers. It
is so novel for them to be waited on by
white faces that they feel inclined to
reward the most trifiing service. They
are, moreover, pleased to be at home
again, and touched with the civility
they meet with in their journeyings to
and fro their hands are everlastingly in
their pockets.
The retired Indian officer does not
object to tips in the abstract, but he
enters protest against the giving Of
gold to any domestic in house where
one has been staying. 1t spoils the
market and is unfair to those with
slender purses. Five shillingS, he con-
siders, is a sufficient reward for a little
extra trouble. This is very well, but
what about the gamelzeepers-a large

ANGlOMANiA.
How American Woman Rebuked a |
Snobbish Friend.

How an American Woman Rebuked a
Snobbish Friend.
An American woman returned to
New England after living for a season
in London, and wearied her friends
with her affectations and mannerisrns,
says Youths Companion. She was
ashamed of her own country and did
initiated English customs, dress, ex
pressions, spelling and pronunciation,
but offered offensive evidence of her
acute attack of Anglomania in con-
temptuous references to everything
American.
One of her friends undertook to ad-
minister social discipline in a unique
way She sent out invitations to a
lunch party in honor of the returned
traveller and collected large conpa-l.y
in her drawing-room. After the guest
had been cordially welcomed, the doors
in the dining-room were opened.
The room had been decorated with
bunting and the flowers were Inassed
in effects of red, white and blue. There
were flags everywhere, in the chapde-
lier, on the mantel and on every bit OF
plate or china displayed on the table.
The table reserved for the guest was
draped with the national colors.
Never, perhaps, was a broader hint
conveyed at q social reception that it is
Ill bred and bad form to be ashamed Of
ones country.
