It may interest you to know that the great penguin of the southern circle standing with its head as high ns a man's s waist matches its eggs in a peculiar manner. These are not laid upon the ground and brooded on after the manner of most birds eggs. Tho female lays two large eggs. The first she hands over to the male bird, the other she keeps. The egg is held on the upper surface of the large fat feet and is pushed up under the waistcoat of thick feathers. It is there held close to the body, whose warmth gradually vitalizes the young bird. So tena- cious are the parent birds of this grip that if you knock one of them over, 1t will fail on its back with its feet stuck stiffiy out, still clutch ing the egg to its body.-Saturday Review.

SILVER FLArFosH ON A COLD
 RAsIa

SILVER FLArFosH ON COLD
 There IS probably nU one so obtuse of vision that he cannot detect the double dealing straddle of the reso- luton adopted by the democratic convention on Monday. There is no man in the country but knows that Grover Cleveland is unchauge- ably opposed to the coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to l. A resolu- ton to endorse the free coinage of silver at this ratio must of necessity condemn MT. Cleveland's financial policy. 4 resolution condemning Mir. Clevelsud's financial policy and favoring free aud unlimited coinage of silver, might, by implication. be construed to mean that silver coin age was favored at a ratio of Is 10 l. But for 8 convention to vote down s resolution eondemning Mir. Cleve lands financial policy, and to very adroitly omit the ratio, looks very much like an attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the real silver democrats, and at the same time keep peace with the administration. If it does not mean this. then what does 1t meant No man car be a consistent advocate of silver coin age at the ratio of l6 to l, without being opposed to President Cleve- lands financial policy. If. then, that convention meant io endorse silver coinage at the above ratio, why did it eliminate the ceusure of President Cleveland from its plat formi
 The financial plank adopted by the republican territorial conven. tion had no uncertain sound about it on this question, and is capable of only one construction. It reads ss follows:
 Resolved, That 1t is the belief cf this convention that the people of Arizona, without regard to party, are in favor of the free and unlim tied coinage of silver at a ratio of not less than Is to 1 of gold. aud the delegates elected by this con- vention 10 St. Louis are hereby in- structed to use all honorable means to secure the adoption of free sil- yer plank in the national republican Y,laffcru, "

4 DICTIONARY OF USAGE.
The Great Horh of the French AeadsuaS which Wnl Never Be Completed.

The Great Vgorh of the French Academy
 which wHI Never Re Completed
 The principal occupation of the Academy. pursued without cessation, and having in its completion but a perpetual recommenoement- has been the dictionary. l already hear the exclamation: The dictionary ! But that Is surely iolIel The Acad- erny will never finish it. After 2SO years it has not yet completed the letter Ar l will therefore endeavor to dispal tho confusion existing m many minds. The Academy has two dictionaries. One of these, which was begun in ITS. is the Historic al Dictionary, whose plan was sug- gesteI by Voltaire It Is a compila- ton of etymology and history, and of the variations in the significance of words set forth ;n numerous ex- amples as attested by every French writer inclusively since the fifteenth century. Although this dictionary has in fact only reached the letter A. it has been published in an enor- nous quarto volume It will never be completed The Academy decided, some I2 years ago. tO abandon the work
 There is. however. besides the Historical Dictionary, " a" Diction- ary of Usage" wherein are given only tho words with their different acoeptations and short and decisive examples of ordinary use. From 1894 to 1878 seven editions of this work have been published, each rad ically differing from the others h. deed, language is constantly sub iected to modification. The sense of one word is altered; another word is no longer employed; still another is created to meet a new require ment. as telegram or "bicyolet, " or a modern thought must find ex- pression, as decentralization" or '.pessimisn. It is the same with orthography, in which the constant tendency is toward simplificauon- In the seventeenth century ono wrote, "il debvoit;" in the eight eenth century, ''il devoit;" today We write "il devait The diction- ary is framed as standard, and hence. like a veritable labor of Pc nelope, must he begun again as soon as # is finished In the matter Of orthogrsphy the dictionary of the Academy k an authority in all in- stitutions of learning. and 1t would be almost an impossibility for a printing ofiioe to diverge theret-om in spelling.
 The office of the Academy Is not to create but to register words of pure language ard such as are usually employed. and while ir acknowledges the privilcgc of all to create new words 1t retains the right to exclude neologisms from the dictionary wherever it may judge them to be barbarian or of very restricted usage. The work of this department iscarTiel on by six members, named for life, v.o. assisted by the perpet- ual secretary, prepare the work. Each word is next submitted by the chairman to tbe approval of the as- Ssmblod Academy. The discussions are occasionally exceedingly pro- tracted, particular words occupying an entire cssiCn.-Forum.

 Citizens of Arizona will learn with profound regret of the death of Captain John c. BOurke, of the Third Cavalry, |. :. A. which occurred in Philadelphia June .. Captain Bourke did valiant service m Indian warfare in Aiiz ,na away back in the early seventies, and was a member of General Crooks stsd in later years, stationed at Whipple. He was a man universally liked by all with whom he became acquainted and Arizona had no truer friend than be. AS soldier, Capt. Bourke had A brilliant record. He was a gentleman of the finest impulses, and as 6 friend was tru, as steel. In addition to attending to his military duties, be had travelled extensively and found tima to write a number of books, the most prominent of which were. "On the Border With Crsok," An Apache Campaign, and The Snake Dance of the Moquis." During S visit to Los An gsles in April, the editor of this paper had the pleasure Of meeting him, the first time in several years, ARd hs enquired most Sfectionately after all of his old friends in Pres colt and Arizona generally. He was st shat time in very poor health and was travelling with his father-in- law in search ot health. He spoke very enthusiastically oi Arizona and recouuted many of his experiences here. both of pleasure and hardship, He announced it as his intention to visit the territory again and spend several months here with his family that his children might become familiar with the places and scene: of his former experiences. Alas for human plans. how often do they fail of rea,izStion, It proved so ID his case, as in less than six week, from this announcement. this noble man has been called to his reward
 His life's work is ended. No more will be visi: the scsues of his earlier army experiences. and DO more will hs recall. in pleasant "reminiscences with friends, of tue pleasures oI trials attending them.

These matches are held annually at Sea
Girt, under the direction of the New Jer-
sey Rifle Association, whose president is
by law the governor of the state. The
most expert rifle shots in the country meet
here in friendly rivalry, and to win in
such contests requires, as a prepare ton.
hard, systematic, intelligent work, and a
high degree of skill. There are no state
funds available for defraying the ex-
penses of the team; so, in addition to the
time lost and hard work done, the entire
cost falls on its individual members. The
governor congratulates Capt. Williamson,
team captain, and the members of the
team on the remarkable scores made and
the honors they have won for the state
and themselves. They will be classified
as sharpshooters, and special certificates
and sharpshooters' badges will be issued
to them by the inspector general of rife
practice.
2. The creditable work of the team from
the Governors Horse Guards, that, with
little time for preparation, went to Sea
Grit, as a first experience this year, is
deserving of mention, and the knowledge
thus gained of team shooting will be Of
great benefit to its members in future con-
tests.
