A New Version of an Old story.

Poor NJ Floquet is hardly cold in his
grave before posterity has set about
stripping him of his chief claims to glory.
Everybody remembers that the Radical
politicians reputation was built upon
an incident which occurred in 1867. The
Car Alexander II, then on visit TO
Napoleon III, had been shown over the
Palais de Justice, and was stepping into
his carriage, amid cheers, kindly pro-
vided by his host when somebody in the
crowd shouted ''Vive la Pologne, mon
sieur!" Floquet got the credit for this
audacious bit of impertinence, and on
the strength of 1t secured seat in the
Chamber. M. Jules Claretie declares
that he heard from Floquet himself
that the real author of the cry was
Gambetta, who generously allowed his
friend to profit by it. On the other hand,
NJ. Andrieux asserts that he invented
the Gambetta legend to amuse the read
erS of a provincial paper, and that he did
so at Floquet's request.
But another curious piece Of evidence
has been brought forward. The Gear
never heard the words at all, but he
noticed the tumult to which they gave
rise, and saw the mob gather round q
figure in their midst. What on earth,
he exclaimed, docs that old priest
want?" Now neither Gambetta nor
F'loquet could possibly have looked like
a disheveled ecclesiastic; but a man
who was a close spectator of the scene
positively affirms NJ. Delattre, q bar
rister of very advanced views, to have
been the Simon Pure. The Cars de-
scription would apply to him, and the
language resembled his utterances in
the tribune. Here we must leave the
question, which affords, at all events
one more proof of the uncertainty Of his

Sailors Superstftions.

The old superstition as to lucky and
unlucky days has largely passed away
Foreign mails start and arrive Fridays
without any regard for beliefs which
were at one time accepted as beyond
argument by most sailors. Some thought
otherwise, as will later appear. Gener-
| ally speaking, adj saints days and
church holidays were regarded as un-
lucky, and certain days in each month
were rather distrusted. In an old al
| manac Of 1915 we find that July 49, 20
"A and 81 were noted as mo good
anchorage" Sunday was always looked
upon as lucky, presumably in reliance ON
| the maxim 'The better the day the bet
ter the deed" and the fact of our Lords
resurrection having taken place on that
| day.
Monday had no particular reputation
| for good or evil; Tuesday was the same,
! except among Spaniards, who said,
| Don't marry or go to sea or leave your
wife" on that day. Wednesday was the
| day of Odin the Morse god, and lucky;
Thursday was named after Thor, the
| Morse god Of war, and was auspicious.
Friday was the day dedicated to Freya,
Morse goddess Of love, and having ref
erence to women, was not liked on this
ground. The true reason for avoiding
| Friday was of course the fact Of the
crucif1xion having taken place on that
| day, and sentiments of special venera-
| ton for the day became converted into
a feeling of fear for the results which
| would follow it's violation. The Span
| iards, on the other hand, had con-
siderable veneration for Friday, and
believed that some occult influence en-
abled Columbus to successfully clear
out Of port and discover new land on
that day Saturday was generally con-
sidered auspicious.
| The origin Of the phrase, "a capful Of
| wind" can be traced to a Morse King,
Eric VI, who died in 907 A. D. He
The record-union., 1896-04-09

was credited with the useful power OF
directing the wind to blow where he
wished by the simple method Of turning
his cap to that point of the compass
His powers We're much appreciated and
trusted, and resulted in his being known
as "Windy-cap." There is no evidence
as to whether he could regulate the
force of the wind as we'll as the direc-
ton; presumably he could, or his faith
full believers would not have been so
many. A ''bagful Of wind" Is another
common expression, and indicates
something like a gale. This has been
traced down to the classical legend Of
Eolus and his captive winds confined in
bags.-Iondon Nautical Magazine.

An Oakland physician has created
alarm in Oakland by saying that death
and disease turks in the telephone be-
cause the mouthpiece of the instrument,
being used by many people, accumulates
microbes from breath exhaled by dis
eased lungs, from foul mouths with de-
caying teeth and the like, and thus
threaten all who use the instrument.
We are inclined to think the Oakland
man is right to a certain extent, but
there is no reason why the mouthpiece
should not be kept clean. The cleanly
nan would not wish to use the brush
and comb that does service over a COM
mon washing place. Yet his lips are
pressed against the mouthpieces of tel
ephones that hundreds Of people use in

as frequent cleaning of this cup as
there is Of the glass from which one
drinks or the cup he uses at table.

AS we are approaching the season
when the work of street improvement
will be resumed, what is the matter
with making another effort to intro
duce the system of installment pay
ment for street work as authorized by
the laws of the State. We apprehend
that the Trustees have now had suffi-
cient time to examine the practical
working and great beneficence of that
law, and that, with two new members In
the board, the chances Of having the
law applied to Sacramento street i'm

This is true of Dr. R. v. Pierce, chief con-

more than thirty years. 1t was originally

A GOOD LAW.
Stockton Mail: A new Ohio law pro-
vides that the owner, manager or lessee
of any theater who permits the wearing
in the theater Of any hat or headgear
which shall obstruct the view of the
stage Is guilty Of a misdemeanor pun
ishable by fine of from 50 to SO. This
eminently sensible statute should be fol-
lowed by one working a forfeiture of
the box office receipts in any case where
the manager shall permit chatterers to
obstruct the hearing Of those seated
near them.
INDEPENDENCE
Colusa Sun: There are men who do not
mind being in minorities, who would
rather be right than President" Men
who stand out in minorities are often
respected and admired by the majori-
ties against them. Every American
ought to honor and respect the man
who announces his opinions when they
are not popular. The very lack of this
quality In men often puts the whole
country in the position of going one
way, when, II every man should express
his honest convictions, the reverse would
be shown. Too many men say yes to
propositions because of the idea that it
is what everybody is thinking. To be
honest in expression is no akin to the
people be-damned" idea. No man
ought to let ''the people think for him
if he have an idea of what is best to
do, 1t is his duty to express it even
though he were the only man in the
country holding it.

The following is the standard for
pure water usually adopted by Ger
man chemists: The water must be
clear. colorless and odorless. On evap-
Grating to dryness it must leave color
less residue. except when colored with
mineral salts, such as iron, etc. On
standing eight days in a closed bottle
it must not become cloudy. Oxygen
consumed must not be over two parts
in 100000, ammonia not over two
tenths parts, chlorine not over five
parts, nitrates not over ten parts, and
there must not be a trace Of nitrites.
In the event of the presence Of chlorine
the source must be taken into consider
alton. Suppose that standard to be
applied to the river water our people
are compelled to drink because the Trus-
tees refuse to carry out their instruc-
tions and bring in a clear, pure water
supply from the east side. Our river
water might show no trace of nitrates,
or of nitrites, or of chlorine. or Of am
monia, but 1t is neither clear nor col
orless, and If left standing eight days
in close bottle will smell to Heaven.
Evaporated, it leaves q decidedly
tawny-colored residue and an enormous
quantity Of it. No matter how long the
water is left to stand, whether sealed
up or not, on slightest agitation it be-
comes cloudy. So that If it is chem
ically free from objection, it is not in
other respects up to any ofthe require
ments Of the German standard.

NOT A LAW, BUT A POLICY.

That so many Of our collegians and
university philosophers should be found
condemning the Monroe dostrine. and
the recent application Of 1t. Is something
more than surprising; it is humiliating.
1t Indicates entertainment Of a falsely
sentimental view of republican insti-
tutions, view that is almost foolish.
We have all proper respect for the bril-
hancy and scholarship Of these COL
legians and members Of university fac
ultfes, but we confess that we have no
respect for them when their exceeding
desire for the good will and pleasure of
other nations carries them to the dec
laration that the Monroe doctrine is an
offense to civilization and an affront to
friendly nations. That argues that the
United States Is to yield a living prin-
ciple for the sake of maintaining AMIGA
BILE relations with other nations. Who
does not prefer peace to war, with all
its attendant horrors? But who does
not prefer war to dishonor and the
throttling Of liberty? Theodore Roose-
welt has very well summed up the mat
ter when he declares that the educated
men who do not catch the spirit of
Americanism which prompts the fight
ing application of the Monroe doctrine
to the Venezuelan question, or to any
other of similar character, ought to be
ashamed of themselves. He puts it
straight from the shoulder in a maga-
zine known as 1.-The Bachelor of Arts, -
a journal published especially for col
lege men, when he says:
The Monroe doctrine should not be
considered from any purely academic
standpoint but as a broad, general
principle Of living policy. It is to be
justified not by precedent merely, but
by the needs Of the Nation and the true
interests of Western civilization.
Is In other words, if the Monroe doc
trine did not already exist it would be
necessary forthwith to create it.
The Monroe doctrine is not ques-
ton Of law at all. 1t is a question Of
policy. 1t is a question to be considered
not only by statesmen, but by all good
citizens. Lawyers, as lawyers, have alb
solutely nothing to say about it. To ar
que that it cannot be recognized as a
principle of International law, is a
mere waste of breath. Nobody cares
whether it is or is not so recognized, any
more than anyone cares whether the
Declaration Of Independence and Wash
ington's farewell address are so recog-
nized
Primarily, our action is based on Ma
tional self-interest. In other words, it
is patriotic. A certain limited number
OF persons are fond Of decrying patriot
ism as a selfish virtue, and strive with
all their feeble might to inculcate in it's
place a kind of milk-and-water cosmo-
politaniSm. These good people are
never men of robust character or of i'm
posing personality, and the plea itself is
not worth considering. Some reformers
may urge that in the ages distant fu-
ture patriotism, like the habit of mo-
nogamous marriage, will become a.
needless and obsolete virtue; but just at
present the man who loves other coun-
tries as much as he does his own is quite
as noxious member Of society as the
man who loves other women as much
as he loves his wife. Love of country is
an elemental virtue, like love of home,
or like honesty or courage.
