MCKINLEY INAUGUHs4ATED.

Mckinley has been inauguratcd
with pomp aud enthusiasm, tho
Republicans will have full control
of the National government. His
address reads well and tho promi-
scs appear fair and reasonable
from Il Republican stand point
Ho hopes to restore peace and
prosperity to tho land of tho free
and tho bravo. Tho panacea fol
all the ills is high tariff, and sound
money will como as tonic.
Even, in his address, he Expresses
doubt of Immediate relief, but
hopes to bring it in tho sweet byo
and byo.
He declares for civil service, but
in tho opinion Of tho JOURNAL
many efficient Democrats will have
to seek employment olsowhorc, to
give McKlnloy's pets nice jobs.
Cause, sufficient for Republicans,
can bo found against any officer
to romovo him and fill the vacancy
with favoritc Of the Mckinley
loadors.
1t is to he hoped that Mckinley
and his Republican Congress Will
be equal to tho emergency, tho
responsibility is with them and
failure can not DO charged to the
Democrats. Tho South has little
to expect, except few minor
Offices, and will not be disappoint-
Cd in any event.

Outdoor Air.

Few persons stop to think OF the
great difference between indoor and
outdoor air. In every dwelling por-
tion of the air has already entered the
lungs and is III the nature of eXcrement
The outdoor air alone is tolerably pure,
but perfectly so only at high attitudes
and away from cities.
We talk about climate cure, about 60
ing to Florida or Nice for health, but
we venture to assert that any Invalid
may secure greater Improvement with
regard to the air he breathes by proper
ventilation of his dwelling room and
by living out of doors most OF the time
than he can by going to any new eli
mate and neglecting these conditions
Many poor invalid's salvation might
be found in his own garden, while he
may go to the ends of the earth IN
search of health and die in the closed
room to which he has retreated III the
fear of outdoor air. -Philadelphia Led

Tic snltan.s uouschold.

In the time Of the sultan $ predecessor
the seraglio buildings stretched along
the banks of the Bosporous for Z miles,
and contained some 1000 persons, the
household order and arrangement being
much as they are at present. The sui
tan's mother-when he has Il mother
receives servile obedience from all It's
inmates. Then comes the hasnadar
ousta, or mistress of the treasury, gen
orally shrewd old woman, promoted
from the ranks of the servants for her
talent for housekeeping and gossip. If
the sultani valide dies, the hasnadar sue
ceeds her. Under Abdul MedJid the
seraglio was long ruled by washerwo-
man. whose chief adviser was bal
tadic, or newer of wood, who could not
read but had the power of dismissing
yiziers. The sultan's four kadines come
next, who rank as spouses till he d.
vorcos them and marries them to some
of the pashas. Then there are five or SIX
ikbals, or favorites; then the guleuzedes
(from guieuz, eye-girls who have at
tracted the masters glance).
Every woman who marries from the
seraglio takes with her, besides large
portion in cash, her clothing, jewels,
furniture, carriages and servants. After
| them come the kadines effendis, the
mothers of the sultan's children; then
the unmarried princesses of the royal
blood, then the foster mothers and foster
sisters of the sultana or princes or prin'
cesses. Among the attendants are cham
berlains, secretaries, guards, eunuchs,
solutions, cooks, pages, musicians
dancing girls, dwarfs, butfoons, priests,
astrologers, BARRIERS and shampooers
tasters of the sultan's food, athletes
cockfighters, ramfighters, jugglers ano
grooms to look after the 900 horses con
tanned in the imperial stables. New

Teach Spelling From the Blackboard.

A revival of the old fashioned spelling
school has been tried in some localities,
but only to prove that it does not, as
rule, reach the poor spoilers. They stay
away from it-they are not wanted III
smelling match. The spelling school was
for the Qualification of the good spoilers.
1t did something, no doubt, for depraved
brain cells before such mysteries were
ever heard Of in connection with spell
ing books - before physical inertia
could be charged to weak valvular heart
action, and ugly tempers to microbes,
and all the rest. The spelling school be-
longs to past dispensation, says my
friend, hut it suggests what might do
much for photography, If the blackboard
were made conspicuous feature ana

reading and writing of sentences, OF
which the following might be an exam

"that the majority members of the com,
mittee on france had already discovered
that they were not infallible and had de.

ready found that rs or more OF their
amendments will have to be changed and
the provisions of the original bill restored

the explanation offered in a number OF
cases was that they had acted on incorrect
or insufficient information, and that In
number of other cases the typewriter had

ONE IN A THOUSAND.
\ Rare Case of Generosity In One OF the
Government Departments.

The commissioner of patents General
Benjamin Butterworth made a number
of promotions recently. Among the clerks
advanced was woman who called upon
him shortly after she had learned of her
good fortune
Mr., Commissioner she said, there
Is a woman who sits alongside of me in
the office whose necessities are much great
er than mine, She is splendid clerk and
Is now supporting her sick sister and child
Her brother, who previously assisted them,
died short time ago The lines of her
life are drawn in much harder places just
now than are those of mine l want TO
ask favor of you.
Major Butterworth naturally expected
that the other promotion would be asked
for and he knew there was no opportunity
TO make 1t, at least in the near future.
But his visitor continued: 81 want to ask
If you will not let this other woman have
my promotion and allow her TO draw the
increased salary until she is placed in bet.

perhaps we may change about again. "
Major Butterworth was dumfounded.
Ever since he has been commissioner of
patents he has listened TO the importuni-
ties of clerks i'm his Office seeking promo.

who wanted promotion for some one else.
| He looked at his visitor and wondered
whether he was dreaming.
81 very seriously fear, he remarked to
his caller, that you will shortly be trans
lated to some other sphere. l have heard
| of such things, but did not know that
they happened in this generation. OF
course your request is granted. " The Wis
itor smiled gratefully and left the room
She was reduced to her old place, and the
fellow clerk whose necessities she regarded
as greater than hers received the promotion

HE DOES NOT REMEMBER.
A Man Disappears From Home and Finds
Himself In Chicago.

George Donaldson, grocer, of Frankfort,
KY, and brother of John Donaldson,
Jim Corbett's former manager, fell on
the ice last winter, sustained conclusion
of the brain and never entirely recovered
himself.
Three months ago. while evidently un-
balanced mentally, he disappeared from
home. There were many reasons to be-
lieve he had committed suicide, and the
river was searched for his body.
One day recently his daughter received
q letter from Donaldson, who wrote from
Chicago He said that he had found him
self there q short time ago, without know
ing Just how he came to be there that he
was conscious of having been tramping
around the country for long time, and
must have been over considerable terri
tority, as he had evidence that he had been
TO Milwaukee.
There are evidences that Donaldson is
still mentally unbalanced, as he wrote
from no particular number or address,
and an effort to locate him, with the aid
of the Odd Fellows in that city, will be
made. Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Toastmaster's Nervousness.


Years and years ago, when the Press
club, Of more or less blessed memor
was in existence, British newspaper
man-only they call it "a journalist Oh
the other side-was at the club one
evening. He had been in Washington
for some time and was leaving next
day. Mr. Karl Decker made speech to
him.
"Mr. Soandso," he said, "you have
spent some time with us, and you have
made many friends. We have become
attached to you. You are going away
tomorrow and we may never see you
again, but in order that you may al
ways have something by which to re-
member us, on behalf of the Press club
present you this ring. "
And then he struck the call bell on
the reading table near him. The Eng
lishman looked just trifle bewildered
for a bit, then he reached out his hand,
thanked the club and pocketed the bell
And-bless his simple English heart
next morning he told another newspaper
man how kind the Press club mad been
to him and what a lovely presentation
speech Mr.. Decker had made.
"Mr Decker must have been awfully
nervous, you know" he said, though
he didn't show it, for he said, Il present
you this ring, and, don't We know, 1t
wasn't ring at all; it was a bell. -

A Prominent Citizen of New Orleans De-

"Chief Easter says the Malta is wiped
out of New Orleans" said Mr.. Ernest
Robinson of the Crescent City recently.
1.-THE chief is doubtless sincere in his state

take made. The Malta is alive and is as

flourishing "a condition as ever, and when
the occasion arises 1t will be heard from.

highbinders, and is as farreaching in its
influences. l witnessed the scenes in Jack
son square and at the Jail which followed
the murder of brave Dave Hennessy, the
predecessor of Easter, but the Malta was
not taught lesson by that wholesale
slaughter. There are as many Italians In
New Orleans today with those deadly
sawed off shotguns as were there in Hen

Argentine Railroads.

In the Argentine Republic the service
of trains is appallingiS irregular, chief
" owing to the bad state of the perma'
nent way, which, when once laid, is
left to take care of itself. The pcrma-
nent way in some parts of the line is III
such dilapidated condition that al
most every train is thrown of the rails.
This astounding fact is contained i'll a
recent report Of the railway concerned.
The rate of travelling, too, is astonlsh-
ing. At one spot, on 60 as you please
local line, no train ever travels faster
than 21k miles per hour. One may vary
the monotony of the journey by getting
out and taking quiet stroll along the
line, or stopping to pick up pretty flow.

EYeless Animals.

Many of the lower animals are known
to see without eyes, the skin having q
high degree of sensitiveness to light.
Thus earthworms, the maggots OF flies
and eyeless centipeds find their way
about nearly as readily as similar crea'
lures which have eyes. In a recent Ger
man work on the sensitiveness to light
of eyeless animals, DR.. Nagel, who
made his observations chiefly on mol
lusks, found that the eyeless bivalves
and snails he experimental with showed
a high degree of sensitiveness to light.
He found that some species reacted es-
pecially to diminution, others to IN
crease of light, and that this difference
was correlated with other characters. -
