That the curiosity seeker sometimes
finds more than he wants Is shown by
recent experience of Mark Twain.
Mr.. Clemens has been viewing from the
gallery with artistic appreciation the
performances of the Austrian Reichs-
raths. When the show broke up in a
general row, he was violently welted
over the head by Czech deputy. OF
course it was a case Of mistaken iden-
tity and an apology followed, but it is
safe to say that the humorist will be
satisfied to gather his further impress

range.

swinburne, the Poet.

Algernon Charles Swinburne. the
poet, is one of the most eccentric in
dividuals in England. He is perfect
master of Greek and French, but It is
his delight to pretend to be entirely
illiterate, and, though he left Oxforl
with great reputation, he never took
his degree. Mr.. Swinburne lives near
London, but he is rarely seen in society.
One of the most pleasing traits in his
character is his devotion to children.

paper money is in the highly unorna-
mental notes of the Bank of England.
The engraving is such that any ord1-
nary engrayer could duplicate it to per-
lection, yet the notes have rarely been
counterfeited with success. The safe
guards are in the paper and the ink,
and not in the engraving. The history
of counterfeiting shows that there are
always engrayers as skillful as other
engrayers.
The proposal of the War Department
to reduce the strength of the ten cav
airy regiments by transferring men to
artillery regiments has caused a good
deal of Indignation in army circles.
This practice of weakening an arm or
branch of the force to increase another
is known among army men as 'skele-
tonizing," and is claimed by them for
evident reasons to be destructive of the
esprit de corps and the spirit of disci-
pine. Frequently whole companies
have been decimated by this process
and officers find themselves attached
to divisions Of troops which practically
have no existence except upon paper.
The artillery seems to be specially IA
yored in this respect In 1890 two COM
panies of each regiment of cavalry and
infantry were skeletonized for the ben
eft of the artillery, and now, it seems,
the process is to be further continued.
Skeletonizing has been pronounced ille-
gal by the Judge advocate of the army,
but as long as Congress refuses further
to increase the army the War Depart
ment is practically compelled from
time to time to repeat the process in
order to keep each branch Of the serv-
ice as efficient as possible. Secretary
Alger has withdrawn, for the present,
the order which has called forth SO
many protests, but will probably in the
end be compelled to insist upon it.

CONSISTENCY IN GEnRGIA-

People are not consistent, as the
chicken remarked when his neck was
Wrung by the president Of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails. The Georgia legislature regards
football as brutal, and has passed an
act to prohibit the sport. The very
same legislature, however, refused. to
pass measure forbidding the employ
ment in workshops and factories Of
children under thirteen years of age.
And we have not heard that the Geor-
gia legislature is much troubled by the
''lynching bees' that have taken place
in that State. Perhaps by and by when
it is plain that the people of Georgia
are adequately protected from the dew
astating football some Of the lesser evils
will be tackled.

HONESTY IN ICELAND.

Prisons in Iceland are as numerous
as snakes in Ireland. The inhabitants
are so honest In their habits that such
defenses to property as locks, bolts and
bars are not required; nor are there
any police in the island. Yet It's history
for one thousand years records no more
than two thefts. OF these two cases,
one was that of native, who was de-
tected after stealing several sheep, but,
as he had done so to supply his family,
who were suffering for want Of food,
when he had broken his arm. provisions
were furnished to them, and work was
found for him as soon as he was able to
do 1t; meanwhile he was placed under
medical care. The stigma attached to
his crime was considered sufficient pun
ishment.
The other theft was by a German,
who stole seventeen sheep. But, as he
the robbery was malicious, the sentence
passed upon him was that he should
sell all his property, restore the value
of what he had stolen, and then leave
the country or be executed.-New York

NICARAGUA AND PANAMA.

The Nicaragua canal scheme isn't as
lively as it was, and it will have rest
for year or more, since the commits
sion appointed by the president which
sails from New York for Greytown this
week will hardly report within a
twelve month. Rear Admiral Walker,
Colonel Peter C. Haines of the engin-
eer corps and Prof. Lewis M. Haupt of
Philadelphia a civil engineer of high
reputation, who are the commissioners,
take with them some fifty odd engin-
GERS and assistants, and this force will
be augmented by a body of native help
ers. Thus it will be seen that it is in
/ tended, this time, that the work Of
prospecting shall be very thoroughly
done, as indeed it should be, consider
ing that the construction of the canal
might involve the expenditure of per-
haps 5000, O0O, 900. Experts are by no
means agreed upon the feasibility Of
the canal. and very good argument
can be made against it, not only on
account Of the admitted difficulties of
engineering, but ON account of the
problematical utility of the canal as
thoroughfare of commerce.
The strongest argument against the
Nicaragua canal seems to be the Pana-
ma canal. That unfortunate ditch is
by no means as unfortunate as it was
Alfred Ahrling, a civil engineer who
has been at work on it says that about
on it. The work is. conducted in an
economical manner and good progress
has been made. He is confident that
sufficient funds will be Forthcoming to
finish the cut in a few years. Under
locks. They were found necessary to
eoualize the tides of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. On the Pacific side
the tide rises twenty-four feet and on
the Atlantic but two. But for locks
there would be such a rush Of water
at every change of the tide as to
swamp vessels The interior locks are
to be supplied by the Chagres and
Rio Grande rivers.
One thing seems to be plain, and
that is that two canals are not needed.

Will there be any currency reform
this winter? Senator Jones of Nevada
says no. He is credited with an utter
ance which undoubtedly defines the
whole programme of the free silver con-
tingent with regard to the matter. 1t
is to be policy of obstruction, pure
and simple. No financial legislation
which ignores the demands of the free
coinage advocates will be permitted
'"There will be no reform of the cur
rency at the coming session." says the
Nevada statesman. ''The silver people
are in the saddle. The president will
prevent them from doing anything for
the white metal, and they in turn will
prevent him from doing anything to
change the present currency system.
We will permit no such legislation
