the second time a prisoner con-
fined in the Jail corridor has used
a pick-ax therein left lying, to

When the appropriation bill
was under discussion some time
ago, Jerry Simpson dragged the
tariff question into the debate
and some one alluded to ''repre-
sentatives from the rural dis
tricts." Mr.. Tongue, of Oregon,
very promptly and properly re-
sponded as such member, and
closing a few brief remarks, said:
"No act was ever passed by the
congress of the United
States that brought such
widespread ruin, SO much bank
ruptcy, so much distress on the
people of Oregon-at least in the
first congressional district-as the
Wilson bill, passed under the lead
of William Jennings Bryan, fol
lowed by the gentleman from
Kansas" This was so true as
to win applause. Mr.. Tongue

The Ape Fixed the Burglar.

Some two years ago a retired officer
Of the merchant service, living in the
Rue d'Alesia, Paris, NJ Duchesne
brought home an orang-outang from Bor-
neo. Since growing to its full size the
brute is terror to the neighbors. Its
master won't hear Of its being chained M.
contenting himself with shutting the ami
NAL in his bedroom before going out. This
was done yesterday, but unfortunately for
him, Nicolas Bargeve, alias The Deyo1r-
er," had determined to make profession
al call at NJ. Duchesnes apartment with
intent to burgle. Now, as this illustrious
character had only been three DAYS at
large after completing his ninth term of
imprisonment, he was naturally unaware
that such a pet as the orang-outang was
tolerated in these particular rooms Con
sequently, when the burglar was sudden
ly bounced upon by two hairy paws he
was somewhat surprised. and his screams
soon brought help, with the result that
NJ. Bargeve was drawn out Of the room
by his feet, in a very ignominious fashion.
He was taken to the infirmary, and it is
reported that he has gone mad and now
imagines himself to have been changed
into an ape.-LOndOn Post

Gladstone and Hero WOrshi1n.

1t was nol only from the people, from
the multitude, that he learned to regard
himself as one apart. He was crowned
In drawing-rooms as well as in the street.
The laws of etiquette were broken
through, much to his discomfort at first
and until it was explained to him why ii
was done on this Scottish occasion. One
OF his hosts, who no more than himself
liked to depart from accepted usages,
said that he looked upon Mr.. Gladstone
in Scotland, and at this period, as en-
titled TO a precedence not elsewhere or at
other times his due. He was not only
prime minister. He came to Scotland as
the elect of Scotland; it was Scotland
which had lifted him to the political
throne he then occupied, and was doing
her best to keep him there.
In England, l should treat him as
other prime ministers are treated, his
only social precedence deriving from his
privy-councillorship. In Scotland / treat
him as the first parsonage in this ancient
kingdom"
And so he walked in to dinner with his
hostess, and great peers followed COM
fOrtably after this great commoner.
Wherever he went rules relaxed before
him, and the surge of the multitude about
him was incessant. An emperor, per-
haps a president, perhaps some great pop
ular hero like Garibaldi. may have drunk
as long and as deep these dangerous
draughts of popular idOlatry. They are
few, at any rate; and alone among all
merely political leaders, l think, has Mr..
Gladstone been acclaimed and wor-
shipped day after day and week after
week by a people which, like the Hebrews
OF old and also the Hebrews of today,
thinks itself a chosen peOple-Geocge W.

woman the other day says a woman con
tributor to the Washington Star "She
was eating ice cream, and by way of con-
versation, asked her if they have ice

III the world where they Lave such de

cream. We have lemonade, too, and we

near.

Japan; 1--WE call it lemonade. and even if

Abstemiousness at Night.

A writer in Italia Termale declares it as
his opinion that many persons who remain
thin and weakly, in spite of all precautions
in regard to diet, etc, owe the fact largely
to habitual abstemiousness at night. The
digestive organs, he asserts, have no need
for repose, provided, always, that the
quantity of nourishment taken within the
twenty -four hours does not go beyond the
normal limit-the fact that the intervals
between meals are short working no in
convenience, but, on the contrary, tending
to the avoidance of feebleness. which is
the natural result of an interval extended
to too great a length. Further, according
to this writer, feeble persons, those also
who are lean and emaciated, and, above
all, such as are sufferers from insomnia,
owe it to themselves not to retire with
out taking some nourishment into the
stomach, such as simple bread and butter
a glass Of milk, few biscuits or crackers

Spaniards Understood Fnl1 Meaning
of it at Santiago's Fall.
The Casino Espanol, or Spanish club, in
Santiago, much frequented by the Span
ish officers. has for some time boosted a
gramophone, which was a source of joy
and delight to the club members before
the capitulation.
Strangely enough, through the long
nights of the siege the favorite piece Of
music which they were in the habit of
having repeated four or FIVE times an
evening was '"The Star Spangled Banner
which greatly pleased their musical souls,
although they were entirely ignorant Of
its origin or significance. AS fate would
decree, on the morning of July II, when
the American flag was hoisted over the
governors palace, the regimental band of
the Sixth cavalry played with the utmost
gusto this self-same air, whose full mean
ing then broke upon the assembled Span
ish officers with unusual force, and with no
little discontinue to their already rutt1ed
feelings.

NV Lady'S Sinner,

My lady's slipper sees a very radical
change this summer. 1t is no more plain
and unadorned; no longer does a simple
little bow or unobtrusive rosette orna-
ment it. Instead, the slipper is a very
gorgeous affair. 1t glistens, both by sun
light and the CLEAN of gas or electricity,
for it is a jeweled slipper, and, oftener
than otherwise, deliberately jeweled. The
style is to have these slipper jewels match
the pin or necklace you are wearing, both
in the gems themselves and in the set
ting. When fantastic and curious designs
are worn, in Oddly-finished gold. the effect
is exceedingly picturesque and attractive.
Rhinestones are to be favorite slipper or
naments of the summer, diamonds lowed
