making of appointments, and though three-fourths of the entire body pro fess to be Parnellites in politics, it is feared that personal and private in- stead of national and public considera- tions will weigh with as many of them as will suffice to carry a candidate who has no public claims whatever on any public body. However, we shall see.
 An interesting action at law will be tried Wednesday in one of the chan cery Courts. For some years before the split in the Irish ranks Patrick OBrlen, who is now member for the city of kli- kenny and is one of John Redmond most active followers, was memberftor the north division of the County or Monaghan Ever since he has been Ill poIitics-and that is now good many years-he has been bold ana oeter- mined Irish Nationalist. always Tn the thick of every fight and never shirklng the consequences. As matter or Tact, he has been in jail for his political opln- ions seven or eight times during the last twelve years. sometimes epdurlng the plank bed and prison fare for six months at a time. For this reason ne was a great favorite in Monaghan, as

 This money was about to be present. ed-and. in fact, all preparations had been made for the presentation-when one of his periodical imprisonments took place and the ceremony had to be postponed. Soon after the Parnell crisis supervened. The Monaghan peo- ple to man took ParnelPs side. They held meeting after meeting, at which the strongest resolutions were passed in support of Parnells lead ership. MT. O'Brien was in jail and could not speak, but it soon leaked out that he was what was called rampant Parnellite. The Monaghan people. however, like so many others, changed their minds in the course of few weeks, and required their repre- sentative to change with them.
 But they mistook their man who, when he emerged from his six months imprisonment, at once threw himself heart and soul into the Parnellite cam paign. The consequence was that the

money collected for him was never given to him, the ground being that he had broken his pledge ito sit, act and vote with the majority of the Irish party After six years he has com menced a suit to recover it, and it is this action which is to be tried on Wednesday next by the Vice Chancellor. It will, I imagine, excite a good deal of interest and so will the result.
 The present Government has not up to the present resorted to coercion in the management of Irish affairs, but, as a ccunterblast q suppose) to his local government proposals, MT. Gerald Balfour has this week, by combining and indeed approving of gross police outrage in Mayo, indicated pretty clear ly that at any moment we may have a return to that exploded and senseless policy. The facts of the case are very simple. There is movement at pres ent in the neighborhood of Westport in the county referred to against the grabbing of grass farms-a local ris- ing, in other words. against the policy of keeping large and fruitful tracts of land for sheep and cattle while thou sands of human beings are huddled to- gether on little patches which scarcely

He is said to be Bernardo Gotta, miner, who has worked in the mines at Julian, in that county, and also on ranches around Fl Cajon.
 Gotta left Fl Cajon about the 1st of last December for the Klondike and since his departure has not been heard from When he left he had quite a sum Of money in his possession, and his friends. who have been led to identify him by a photograph and descriptive circular sent oF' o ths Ds oninion he Was Tol,oWed ESQ are one in that vicinity who knew of his be- ing possessed of funds.

 Gotta was an Italian and the dead man found bore the appearance of being of that nationality.

 Recently man named Duny grabbed" one of these grass farms, and the consequence was that he be- came an object of public detestation, which ultimately resulted in some manifestations for which several peo- ple were prosecuted. A few days ago the grabber appeared at the prosecu- tion, and, of course, there was a crowd to meet him, which groaned him vigor- ously, and at which he fired revolver shot in return. Instead of arrest1ng Duffy, the police proceeded to baton the crowd, which, but for the grooming. was perfectly peaceable; and when MT.

must have been the reason why he kept

years i'll the fifth form without moving

Marry q Straight.Ha Girl.

Someone of the oracles whose mission
is to advise young women how to select
husband, and to warn young men
against feminine wiles, has recently set
up new guide-pOst for masculine way
farers on the road to matrimony.
Marry girl with straight hair" says
the oracle. 1.-The chances are that her
ways are as straight as her locks, while
the heart of the curly-headed girl is as
full of twists and quirks as her hair
The theory is expounded at some
length: If all men will but be guided by
this skyline voice the day Of the straight
haired girl is close at hand. She needs
compensation. For years she has fought
an unequal fight against her sister of the
curly locks. and her temper has been
worn threadbare. all on account of her
hair. What chance has a STRAIGHTFORWARD
girl on u windy day? Her hair is strag-
Cling in frantic wisps over her collar and
her ears. She looks untidy, disreputable,
and all the time the curly haired girl is
becoming more and more bewitchinz.
Her stray locks crisp and curl and fiutter
fiuffily round her face, and she smiles in
serene consciousness that the wind is
quite powerless against her. When rainy
days come the straight-haired girl signs
dolefully and looks limp and detected i'm
spite Of swell clothes. Hot days have the
same depressing effect upon her hair and
spirits. Sea bathing has no charms for
her. Even golf can't be to her what it is
to the champion with curly hair. But if
straight hair is to be u certificate of eliei-
bility for matrimony, there will be balm
Tor these wounds.

; Ventilating the Cellar.

A great mistake, says Medical Classics,
is sometimes made in ventilating cellars
and milkhouses. The object of ventila-
ton is to keep the cellars cool and dry.
but this object often fails Of being ac-
complished by common mistake, and in
stead the cellar is made both warm and
damp. A cool place should never be ven
tiiated, unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or is at least as cool
as that or a very little warmer. The
warmer the air the more moisture it holds
in suspension. Necessarily the cooler the
air the more this moisture: is condensed
and .precipitated. When a cool cellar Is
aired on q warm day the entering air be-
ing in motion appears cool, but as It fills
the cellar the cooler air with which it be-
comes mixed chills it, the moisture is con-
densed, and dew is deposited on the cold
walls, and may often be seen running
down them in streams. Then the cellar
is damp and soon becomes moldy. To
avoid this the windows should only be
opened at night, and late--the Last thing
before retiring. There II no need 20 fear

When papa's sick, my goodness sakes!
Such awful, awful times 1t makes;

And gives such ghas'ly kind OF gr0ans,
And rolls his eyes and holds his head,
And makes ma help him up to bed;
While Sis and Bridget run to heat
Hot water bags to warm his feet,
And ] must get the doctor quick
We have to jump when papa's sick.
When papa's sick ma has TO stand
Right side the bed and hold his hand,
While Sis she has to fan an fan,
For he says he's "a dyin' man."
And wants the children round him to
Be there when ''sufferin pa gets through
He says he wants to say goodby
And kiss lis all and then he'll die;
Then means and says his "breathin's
Thick
It's awful sad when papa's sick.
When papa's sick lie acts that way
Until he hears the doctor say,
"YOu'ye only got cold, you know,
You'll be all right In a day or so''
And then-Well. say, you ought to see.
He's different as he can be,
Ana grOWiS and sWears from noon to night
Just cause his dinner amt cooked right,
And all he does Is fuss and kick
We're all used up when papa's sick.

A Chinese Babv Show.

The first Chinese baby show ever held
has just frightened the history of Pen
ang, where it will be long and lovingly
remembered. Two hundred babies were
shown. They wore their brightest clothes
and looked like dolls of the highest and
costljest class. Their satin blouses shone
in the sun; they wore embroideries of
birds, bees and flowers; the heads of the
little boys were shaver, each one showing
the rudiment of pigtail behind. The
girls had their hair stiffened and polished
till it shone like Japanese lacquer; on the
and fringes of beads, with fancy paper
ornaments, and some wore paper rosettes
on their temples like a joss, and little
bells around their necks, which tinkled
with every movement. On the golden
yellow ground of the cheek a blush of
pink was spread, the rosebud mouths

A Fortunate Reply,

The Duke of Ossuna, who during his
long career as viceroy of Naples was dis
tinguishcd as much for his sound good
sense in small matters as in those larger
questions of craftsmanship which made
him one of the foremost men of Europe,
once paid visit to the Cape galley ut
Barcelona. AS he passed in and out
among the crew of slaves he questioned
several of them regarding their offenses
for which they were so labOriOusly paying
the penalties. Each had plenty of ex-
cuses. One said he had been sent there
from spite; another asserted that the
judge who sentenced him had been
bribed; still another declared that his
being there was oil a mistake, and that
he was suffering for the crime Of which
his brother was guilty.
At last the duke came to stout little
black fellow of whom he asked.
"And what are you here for, my man?'
'My lord" replied the slave, VI cannot
deny that am justly put in here, for
wanted money, and so took Il purse, near
Tarragona, to keep me from starving
Upon hearing this the duke gave him
two or three blows across the shoulders
with his stick, saying, as he did so: -
"You rogue, what are you doing among
so many honest, innocent men? Get you
out of their companyw
