Kittens Reared In a Trap.

Two kittens were born in a large
warehouse. These kittens were very
frolicsome and became general favor
ites. One day the men employed could
not find the two kittens. They hunted
and hunted, but found no trace of them.
About four weeks afterward it was
necessary to tear away part of the
platform in front of the building. To
the surprise of the workmen, under
this platform was rat trap; and in
the rat trap were the two kittens. Their
mother had found them and had nour-
ished them a1l the time they were in
tie trap. They had grown so large
that they were very much crowded in
their tiny wire house, from which the
mon soon liberated them.-Outlook.

Pidgin English.

The curious vernacular known as
Pidgin English is strange mixture of
English, Chinese and Portuguese, and
is used by most of the natives of Hong
Kong and other Chinese ports in their
intercourse with foreigners. It's basis
consists in turning the consonants "r'
into 81" and ''v" into 3d." adding q
final zee" to most words, and
above all, the constant use of the word
''pidgin," which means business in the
most extended sense of the word. Not
long since a gentleman in Hong Kong
was interrupted by his servant, boy
of IA, who rushed into the office in an
excited manner to inform his master
that his wife had presented him with
daughter. He gracefully and deli
cately made the announcement in Pid-
gin English in these words: missy
Smith hab got one piecee small cow
chilol"-Shicago Tribune.

MAGAZINE NOTICES.

The very successful group of college ar
ticles in Scribner IS Magazine is con-
cluded with Judge Henry E. Rowland s
account of Undergraduate Life at Yale, in
the July issue. Judge Rowland has kept
in close touch with Yale life from 1850 to
the present day, and his article is the
very cream of nearly half a century of
"reminiscences and anecdotes. From a
store of memorabilia he has also restored
something of the student life in the eigh-
teenth century. What Judge Rowland has
to say OF the famous Yale secret socie-
ties will be widely commented upon. AS
a member of the University crew of 1854,
his remarks on rowing are also unusually
pertinent. A picture Of the '54 crew from
an old daguerreotype is one of the most
interesting pictures. The well known
artist, Orson Lowell, spent several
months at Yale, drawing a series of
original sketches to illustrate this article.
A group Of papers which gives individ-
uality to the July Century deals with the
hunting of large game. Mr.. II. W. Sc
ton-Karr describes his experiences after
big game in Africa and India, including
the hunting of elephant, rhinoceros and
tiger, and particularly his experiences in
hunting with an Indian Prince. Mr..
William Willard Howard, well known as
a correspondent in Armenia, writes of
Hunting the Jaguar in Venezuela, and
there is an article with curious illustra-
lions on Sports in the Seventeenth Cen
tury, including foX-tossing, q deer drive,
etc. This number of the magazine is no.
table for the opening article of the new
series on the old English Masters, accom-
panied by Mr.. Coles wood engravings.
The public is already familiar with the
predecessors of this series-the old Italian
Masters and the Old Dutch and Flemish
Masters, engraved in the presence of pic
lures by them by this distinguished Ameri-
can engraver. The new series begins
with Hogarth, and the frontispiece is a
beautiful picture of Garrick and his wife
done from the original in Windsor
Castle, The text is by Prof. John c..
Van Dyke.
McClure's Magazine for July opens
with an interesting account of the actu-
al daily life in a little Republic
where the citizens and governors are
young boys and girls from the poorest
and most crowded districts of the city
of New York. The late Professor Drum
mond is the subject of d paper by the
Rev. D. NJ. Ross, who lived in close in
timacy with him from his boyhood to
the hour of his death, and who is thereby
enabled to give us the first really vivid
and satisfactory presentation we have had
Of man who was one Of the great per
sonal Influences of his time. The paper
is illustrated with several portraits of
Professor Drummond, one of them a re-
cent one which his friends consider the
best in existence

The value of a currency commission
appointed at this or any other time is
open to grave question. The reports of
commissions on semi political subjects
have seldom been given much weight by
Congress. The report of the tariff COM
mission of a dozen years ago, made
though it was by eminent men after
thorough study of the subject, was prac-
tically thrown overheard by Congress,
which proceeded to make a tariff without
much reference to it. The currency is a
particularly bad subject for commits
sion, because it constitutes SO sharp an is
sue in party politics. 1t is out of the
question that any commission made up
from both parties should agree upon any
one plan for the reform of the currency.
1t is practically certain that there would
be two reports from commission consti-
tuted on the bipartisan basis. Tho be-
levers in a gold standard and the adyo.
Gates of free coinage can no more coalesce
than oil and water. Agreement might
be had by making up the commission
from one party, but report from such a
body would be utterly discredited with
the opposite party. Two reports would
not elucidate the question, for in the
public and the congressional mind one
would offset the other. The disagreement
over the currency is not a disagreement
about facts, but about theories, and the
theories are SO radically different that no
compromise between them is possible.
For good many years we tried various
schemes for reconciling the various theo-
ries, and in the end they all proved fail
ures. Before any real reform of the cur
rency is possible the advocates of some
particular theory must have a majority
in both branches of Congress. There is
not one chance in hundred that the
present Congress could effect any radical
changes in our currency system with or
without the aid of currency commits
sion. The report of such commission
might have an educational value with the
people, but that it would have much
weight withCongress as constituted is not
probable.

The campaign for the South Carolina
seat in the Senate temporarily occu-
pied by Mr.. McLaurin is now on in earn
est. Ehe primaries commenced at Sumter
the other day with joint debate between
McLaurin and Senator Irby in which the
latter said that if it hadn't been for him
and Tillman McLaurin would never have
been heard of in South Carolina except as
a ten cent lawyer, and called McLaurin
a ring striker and striped politician. J"
At this McLaurin sprang up and both
men assumed threatening attitude and
hut for the interference of the bystanders
there would have been fight. The same
evening John Gary Evans and John T..
Duncan entered the canvass. From now
on the primaries will proceed with much
violent speech and not few free fights.
McLaurin has the advantage in the
canvass as his opponents are divided
and unless they can combine he will
doubtless get plurality of the votes.

Mr.. Depew in the London Graphic very
succinctly defines Organism as another
name for discomfort with existing condi-
tions that last year gave new men with
new fads an opportunity to propose fnan-
cial oure-all. The promise of prosperity
under a protective tariff and stable
currency defeated them. If the promise
is fulfilled under the present administra-
ton their hold upon the people will van
ish. If it is not, they may get their way
This is true, and should not for mo-
ment be forgotten.

fairly regarded as indicative of health

effect on prices was immediate and en-
phatic- Opening sales of May were made
at $685. cents as compared with yester-
days closing price of 6634 cents and the
short selling and liquidation which start

buyers, northwest receipts being small,
although larger than last week or last

and 2S9 cars respectively. Snow was re-
ported in the northwest which was re-
garded distinctly unfavorable to the
crop and Kansas reports were not SO good
This had some effect finally and after
663s cents, where it stood at the end of
the first hours trading.
CORN-WaS weak at the opening, in
auenced by continued rains and a slight
increase in receipts. The weakness of
wheat also had its effect. Gables how
