Parliamentary Screamers.

Talking on another occasion with
Wagner about public opinion, the chan
cellor said: "You doubtless remember
the saying Of Napoleon I hat three
shrieking women will make more noise
than a thousand silent men. It is there
fore very absurd Of us to attach SO much
Importance to the shricking women of
public opinion. True public opinion is
that which is the outcome of certain po-
litical, religious and social convictions,
Of a very simply kind, deep down in the
national life, and to recognize and give
effect to this is the task of the true
statesman. l might call it the undercur-
rent Of public opinion. Hence it is that

mentary screamers, and consequently

opinion by which I set any store. The

"f the United States government
would only carry out its solemn agree
ments with the five civilized tribes, our
people would have nothing to complain
Of" said Chief C. J. Harris Of the
Cherokee nation at the National hotel.
Contracts and promises that we trust
ed to the honor Of this great nation to
execute have been violated, and there
seems to be no intention on the part Of
the government to redeem them. When
we sold the Cherokee strip, we were
told, as an inducement to parting with
the lands. that all previous pledges
would be carried out. That promise was
broken like the rest.
Now, I maintain that the United
States ought to 60 forward and make
good its past agreements before entering
on further Indian legislation. When
that is done, it will be time enough for
the Indians to say whether they are in
accord with the desires of the govern
ment. Until that is done all bills chang
ing the existing status are obnoxious to
our people. "-Washington Post.

The American student to whom h
mysteries Of architecture arc made clear
in Paris or New York forgets what was
the former sanctity Of his art. MI. Her
bert Spencer shows conclusively that tho
professional architect Of thousands OF
years ago was the priest. Early archi-
lecture sprang from ancestral worship,
and ancestral worship was the Oldest Of
all beliefs The graves Of the departed
had first to be preserved The embellish-
ment came afterward; thence the call
ing Of the architect became sacred. The
relic had to be preserved within an
elaborate shrine. At first it might have
been that the erection of o tomb called
forth & certain amount Of skill, and @
the temple followed the tomb. Mentu-
holtp's hieroglyphic inscription that
"the chief architect was promoted and
became q priest shows the merging ct
the two callings.
II am a great architect, :" says King
Bckcnkhonsu, land I was . holy father
of Anon for ~ years" Sometimes tEo
architect in Egypt was also q general.
Herbert Spencer shows how any special
skill among q primitive people was al
ways supposed by them to be derived
from some supernatural power. Thc!o
must have been -cnt when tho
first arch was sprung. Coming down
nearer to q own time, even to the
tenth century. we know that abbots AID
priests were the architects. There is cvi-
dence that in Raphael's age Pope Leo
appointed an aged friar as al assistant
in the building Of st. Peters. 1t was
very much nearer to our day when tho
clerical architect gave up his task, leav-
ing the constructive part to the master
builder, and from the master builder
came the modern architect.

Etiquette Of Audiences.

A question Of the etiquette of audi
ences arose once in New York when the
Symphony society's concert was given.
MI. Joseffy played the second Brahm
concerto, which threw the audience in
to a state of intense enthusiasm. He
was called out a dozen times, and yet
the audience persisted in it's applause.
Finally Mr.. Damrosch, the conductor,
made as il to proceed it'll the pro-
gramme, but the audience kept up their
applause. NJ. Damroech waved his baton
and began the next number. The sounds
Of the orchestra were drowned, howev-
er, by the noise Of the audience. Mr..
Damrosch then raped sharply upon his
desk, and the musicians and the audience
both became silent. He turned to the
audience and gave them a sharp rebukc
for the ann in which they had con-
Quoted themselves. saying to them that
to ask a pianist, no matter how much
he might have pleased them, to add to
his exhausting labors after playing such
q concerto was neither an appreciation
OF his art nor an evidence of good man
ners. The audience very scnsibly accept
ed the rebuke, and the performance
went on.

The Dog Remembered tho joke.

A well known physician in enc of the
suburbs is the proud owner of a dog that
is almost human and has in his make
up a strain Of humor that no English
man can boast Of. TIE canine is Just 8
years of age. The first four years of his
life were spent under the care of a young
man who worked for the doctor, and
who had a penchant for teasing the
dog on all occasions. The young fell
low wa an excellent mimic of animal
sounds, and whenever he could catch the
dog asleep he would creep up behind
him and bark loudly in his ear. The dog
invariably woke with a start and would
jump out of the door or window in a
jiffy or turn to defend himself.
After four years Of such misery the
dog saw the young man leave the en-
ploy of the physician, but recently he
returned and was again given his old
position. When he entered the house,
the dog was lying on the floor. The
young man greeted him, but MI. Canine
did not notice the sa~lutation. He did,
however, take in the situation at a
glance. A few hours afterward the
young man lay down by an open win
dow for a short nap. Presently the peo-
pie in the house noticed the dog get up
from his resting place and make his
way toward the young fellow. Every
body silently awaited developments,
holding themselves in readiness in case
the dog made any attempt to bite the
a But he did nothing Of the kind.
Only his sense of humor came into play.
Creeping up to the sleeping man, he
placed his mouth close to the ear Of the
sleeper and barked loudly. The man,
upon hearing the sound, was SO fright
ened that he leaped out of the window
and fell into a tub of water beneath.
The joke was SO good that the doctor
has been deluged with offers for the dog,
but his valuation has SO greatly in
creased that it would take a pretty good
figure to get him. Cincinnati ENQUIRER

Etiquette In Science.

In a letter to Nature Professor Ram
say, the well known chemist, raises an
interest question Of etiquette for men Of
science. He points out that when a dis
covery in science is published other in
v~estigators make a rush to the sub
ject and thus in a ann forestall fur
Their discoveries by the original investi-
gator. Professor Ramsay seems to think
that such auxiliaries should recognize
the first claim of the leader and virtual
" ask his permission before they under
take their researches, in case he may in
tend to make a similar investigation,
and the professor also thinks that unless
something Of the kind is done an origi-
nal discoverer will keep his discovery to
himself until he has thrashed it out.

"Auld Q GnHs

A ballad that won instant fame
against the expectation and ever the
wish of its author was "Auld Robin
Gray" written by Lady Anne Lindsay
about the end Of the last century mere
~ for her own satisfaction to replace
the coarse verses Of an old melody that
pleased her. She sang charmingly, and
the new ballad soon came into favor.
Great was the curiosity aroused as to
the author Of this pathetic song in
whose simple verses all the elements Of
a h~eartrending tragedy are contained,
but Lady Anne, modest and retiring BY
nature. preserved silence for many
years, smiling no doubt at the contro-
versy that ragged SO hotly. In the course
OF it her ballad was attributed by some
disputants to David Rizzio, declared BY
others to be a genuine sixteenth century
production and finally made the subject
OF q 20 guinea prize to be bestowed on
anybody acute enough to bring to light
the veritable author. -Cornhill Maya

found in some places which are hard as

stone trees are standing just as natural
as life, while others are piled across
each other just Ike the fallen monarchs
OF a real wood forest. Biologists say
that these stone trees were once covered
to the depth of 1000 feet with mari.

solid rock. The mari, after the lapse Of
ages, washed out, leaving sone Of IL

steadily. Tourists used to hear about
alligators 81 feet in length. A gentle
man who is q naturalist as we'll as a
sportsman is proud of having killed a
gator measuring 13 feet 8 inches, and
he believes a story about another nearly
10 feet long. but he does not expect that
this generation will ever see an alliga-
tor over 16 feet III length. This retroces-
sion from the pictures in the geography
OF childhood IS due to no fault of the al
ligator, but to the presence Of unimag;-
native northerners. The gators are az
big as they ever were; it is only the sto-
rles that have grown smaller.

Machinery. monthly journal published at

count of a most remarkab bic clock beiong-
ing to Hindu prince, which the editor
thinks the stransest piece of machinery
in India. Near the dial of an ordinary look
ing clock is large gong hung on poles. while
underneath. scattered on the ground, is q
pile of artificial human skulls, ribs, legs
and arms, the whole number of bones in
twelve human skeletons. When the hands
of the clock indicate the hour of one. the
number of bones needed to form a complete
human skeleton come together with snap;
by some emechanical contriyance the skeleton
springs up, seizes a mallet, and walking
up to the gong, strikes it one blow. This
finished ii returns to the pile and again
falls to pieces. When two O'Clock, two
skeletons get up and strike, while at the
hours OF noon and midnight the entire heap
springs up in the shape of twelve skeletons,
and strikes each. one after the other, a
blew on the gong. and then fall to pieces.
