One would like to think that humor,

prompted the statement that ex-senator
John w. ingalls, wants to get diplomatic
position in order that he may devote him
self to fulfilling his contracts for literary
work, untroubled by the necessity of earn
ing money for present expenses. That
view of a government office. however, was
so commonly held in perfect seriousness
a few years ago, and is still so far from
infrequent, that indignation rather than
laughter should probably greet this frank
confession of 1t.

A Hot Porous Pla.ter.

"A certain Pennsylvania man will make
up his mind before he leaves the doctors
hands that he is paying very dearly for a
little unnecessary experience, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. For the want of
a horseshoe nail the kingdom was lost
and for the want of a lucifer match the
Pennsylvania man is in the hospital. 1t
all happened because of the dusk Of even
ing, this condition being aided and abetted
by the additional fact that the man keeps
his porous plasters and his fly paper in
the same locality, most reprehensible
and inexcusable habit. The victim want
ed a porous plaster, and he wanted it in
a hurry. He felt around in the darkness
and he found the fly paper. 1t was as
sticky as well-regulated fly paper has any
occasion to be, and the man mistook it for
the porous plaster. He slapped it on his
chest and sought the retirement OF his
room. Therein he went through an ex-
perience which has perhaps never been
duplicated. That bogus plaster hadn't
been in place but short time when the
man remarked:
Gee whiz! but she's beginning to catch
holdm
Ten minutes later he drew a long breath
and growled:
"Hully smoke! but this is hot stuffW
And then the rest of the family was sud-
denly reused up by a mingling of war
dance and earthquake, and the wild
shrieks of a man in limited costume, who
was fiereely believing:
Help, help, murder, fire. police, WOW,
wow wow
When they drew the fly paper from him
the cover of his chest, came with it, and
the doctor found that the hinges Of three
of his ribs were nearly pulled from their
sockets.

ARemarkabIe Debate.
FROM the washington Star dndj.

The tariff debate which has just come
20 an end in the Senate may be de-
scribed as a revel OF contradictions and
reversals. Republicans we're quoted
against themselves, democrats against
themselves and populists against them
selves. Every senator who had partici-
pated in the debate on the Wilson bill
seemed 20 have taken position at some
stage Of Il antngonistic TO the position
he now was taking. and the fact was pa
raded before him with all the clrcum-
stantiality OF good partisan memory and
astute partisan tactics. At the start
there was some wincine. but az the play
proceeded and Il became apparent that
everybody was down for q dose. good ma.
ture prevailed and everybody took his
medicine with composure.

Despite the laws which are supposed TO
project the feathered tribe, Naturalist
Chapman OF the New York Museum OF
Natural History counted forty different
species OF birds on the hats OF women on
the streets OF New York during two after
moons. In all he saw iT2 wild birds or
parts of them on hats. OF which thirty
two varieties are protected by law dur
ing all or greater part OF the year. A
Boston court has decided that II is un-
lawful for one to wear the feathers Of a
bird that is protected by law, and there is
similar law In New York. but this is
probably not the only case where law has

woman wants TO do anything OF that kind
the law doesn't make much difference;
she does Il anyhow.
