announced from the first, that the tenn
porary chairman must be a man who
can present the issues of the campaign
from a free silver standpoint, in a way
that can command the attention of the
country, and sound the keynote of the
campaign. He is a finished orator, with
a resonant voice and commanding pres
ence. He has been spoken of as a pres
idential candidate, but has withdrawn
from the race. 1t is felt that or this
account, and especially OH account of
his position on the free coinage Of silver
he deserves this recognition. Governor
Stone of Missouri, S~enator-elect Money
and Hon. @. s. Thomas, chairman of
the Colorado delegation, are also
mentioned for this position. Mr..
Bryan, is, however, in the lead.
Senator Harris is generally accepted as
an ideal man for permanent chairman.
He is regarded as the best authority in
the country on parliamentary law and
has had most experience as a presiding
officer, having been, until recently,
president pro tenn of the United States

the place if he will take it, and it is
believed he will accept.

 How far will have to go wid this?'' she asked of a fellow-passenger, thrusting her ticket in his face. The affable man put on his spectacles.
 'Latimer road, ma'am! Seven sta- tions further on." The old lady grunted incredulously. Some minutes passed, during which the old lady unused or dozed and took no thought of stoppages. Then she reused her. self and addressed the same question to another passenger. -Four stations on,' muttered this one briefly. The Irish dame smiled bitterly, but kept her own counsel for awhile Then she suddenly turned npon a traveller of her own sex 'Now will you tell me, ma'am, how far am Oi from this sta. tiou7' Its the next station of all" said the other, smilingly. The Irish woman cast around glance of indip- nant scorn. "An' which of yez am Oi to believe? sure ye all tell a different Words.

The Gamblers Creed.

A story is told of a young American couple who took in Monte Carlo in their wedding.tour. The pair had not been there three hours when Edwin discovered. to his horror, that his An gelina had become 8 confirmed gam bier. Nothing could tear her away from the tables. When he refused to supply further funds, the lady prompt- ly parted with some of the costliest jewels in her trousseau. Moreover, she became intimately acquainted with some of the bonarobas who ire quent the tables, and whose acquaint- ance is anything but desirable for 2 bride. She cultivated them for the purpose of learning their systems" l" by which she hoped to win vast for tune. But Edwin noticed that they generally borrowed 100 francs from his bride after having expounded their ''systems," and that they always for. got to repay these loans Such was the rancor engendered by the quarrels between the young couple that finally it came to an open fight and the young lady decorated her husbands face with a number of long scratches. This may seem preposterous to those who have not been to Monte Carlo, but those who have, and who have no- ticed the gamblers greed which shines in the faces of otherwise attractive and refined women, will not be sur prised at anything.-San Francisco Arponaut

Throwing the Discus.

Discus-throwing was a later and
 more refined form of hurling the stone.
 In Homeric times, and even at Olympia, a stone or mass of iron was first used for the purpose. This was held by a leathern throng, swung in a circle, and hurled as far as possible. A cir cular or lenticular disk of bronze was used at least as early as the beginning of the f fifth century. A standard weight must, of course, be assumed for the great games. A discus now in the British museum, which seems to have been used, weighs II pounds 9 ounces; but whether this was the standard weight or not is not definitely known. The thrower took his stand upon a slight elevation of limited circumfer- ence, where he could have Q secure foothold, and was prevented from rum ming; then, with a swing of the arm and corresponding movement of the whole body, he hurled the discus as far as possible. The value of the body was recognized by the sculp- tor Myorn in his famous statue 'The Discobolus," and is understood by the modern athlete when he swings the hammer, or even when he makes drive at golf. As for records at discus throwing, Phayllus, again, is said to have thrown the discus 95 feet-Prof Allan Marquand, in Century.

Pounds which vary in weight and bushels and quarts which vary in size are admitted evils, but the people have been getting along with them for so many centuries and the metric system is so foreign to them'that they prefer to bear the ills ofunequal measures and weigh ts rather than adopt an unfamiliar system.
