"A Canadian barrister is responsible
for the following: One day a farmer
came into his Office and requested that
a holograph will should be prepared for
his signature. The lawyer began at
once to explain terms. but the tiller of

grew angry. II want holograph will, :"

HOraeRhORR.

In Japan most of theshorses are shod
with straw. Even the clumsiest of cart
horses wear straw shoes, which, in
their cases, are tied around the ankle
with straw rope and are made of the
ordinary rice straw, braided so as to
form sole for the foot about half an
inch thick. These soles cost about
halfpenny a pair. In Iceland horses are
shod with sleeps horn. In discussing
this subject a writer in The Horse
shoer's Journal says: In the valley Of
the Upper Oxus the antlers of the
mountain deer are used for the same
purpose, the shoes being fastened with
horn pins. In the Sudan the horses are
shod with socks made of camel's skin.
In Australia horseshoes are made of
cowhide. A German not long ago in
vented a horseshoe of paper, prepared
by saturating with oil. turpentine and
other ingredients. Thin layers of such
paper are glued to the hoof till the re-
quisite thickness is attained. and the
shoes thus made are durable and i'm
penetrable by moisture.

Mascagni's greatest passion and de-
light is to conduct an orchestra, for
which he himself says he has natural
talent. But what is more interesting is
to watch Mascagni composing his works.
His wife, Signora Lima; Mimi (his eldest
boy. Dino (another son) and Emilia
(his little daughter) all have their
parts in it. When the maestro is fever
ishly writing notes and rushing to the
piano to catch an inspiration, his wife
follows him to and fro, while the chill
dren climb on his knees, he uncon-
sciously running his fingers through
their curls.
A soon as he has fixed on a melody
he gathers the children in his arms, and
they all roll indiscriminately on the
floor, the shouts, bumps. laughter, tears,
making such an uproar that at last
Signora Mascagni interferes, scolding
her husband and telling him that a
grave musician should give a better ex-

the children, and he returns to his
desk, but few minutes later the scene
repeats itself. Pail Mall Gazette.

IT WILL BE REFERRED
From the Huntsville Mercury.

From the Huntsville Mercury. rf
 Within the past few days the people have interested themselves considerably in the matter of having the proposed constitti- ton referred to the people for adoption. The county convention at Birmingham was largely composed of men who favor the submission of the new constitution to- the people for adoption, and a resolution to that effect prevailed.
 The Mercury believed and now believes that the people might safely trust the dele gates to the convention. but it is equally firm in the belief that the delegates may trust the people. If an honest document is presented for ratification it will be rati- fled; if it is weak and full of flaws and loop-holes it will be dese-vedly defeated.
 The principal reason for making the con- sttution operative without submitting it to the people for ratification was to save the cost of a general election. This is quite an item, but since the people pay the taxes their wishes should be consulted re- garding the disbursements of the funds thus collected.

Home Rule for Filipinos.

While General Otis and Admiral Dewey are endeavoring to put down the Filipinos who are out gunning for our men, and who threaten Manila and American sovereignty in the Philippines, only one island of which they inhabit, the Philippine commissioners propose to appeal to the common sense of the islanders. These commissioners pro- pose to speak to them in their respective dialects, about seventy in number.
 In substance they are to be told in pointed address that the sovereignty of the islands passed irrevocably by the treaty of Paris to the United States, and that armed resistance to that sovereignty should cease. They will be told that international rela- tions go with sovereignty. But when arm cd rebellion against this sovereignty is end ed. then the Filipinos will be told that the president desires to establish a system that will enable the Filipinos to administer their own affairs under American control aud supervision. The insurgents will be invited to lay down their arms, and trust the American republic to do what is fair and right and best.
 It is plain that the plan. involves an ec- tive movement against the insurgents and their capital, Malolas, and when the na- tives have accepted American sovereignty and military rule. then they are to be given by the president every reasonable facility for sclf-government. The commissioners really have no power beyond what the pres dent holds, and his power Is confined 10 the paclfication of the islands and to as- suraIces of fair dealing and good govern mont.
 What tho Filipino masses will do, is un- certain. They may retire to the interior. and maintain desultory opposition, but tho chances are that vigorous advance against them will break their spirit and limit their supplies, and they may thus come to think that an acceptance of the Amcrican terms Is the better way out of trouble. The final plan of government in the great group of islands canno, be de. terminsd by the president, or by his com. mlssioners. or by the army.

An Ex-Secretary Who Sleeps.

MT. Robert Howard, ex-secretary of the National Spinners' union, has been indug- ing in some talk that is at least twenty years out of date. He told the spinners at Washington that ''the southern mills can not seriously be considered as competitors of the northern mills, because they produce a different class of articles, and because the southern workmen cannot be pressed to expedition as can the northern opera tives." He intimated through the mouth of a southern foreman that pressure upon southern cotton mill operative would re- suit in the production of Winchester rifle or shotgun. Such talk as this might have been needed twenty years ago, but no one of ordinary intelligence listens to it now-a-days.
 If MT. Robert Howard be right how is 1t that the American Wool and Cotton Re- porter, published in Boston, and having no southern connections and ties, contains no accounts of new mills in the north, while every number is filled with accounts of new mills in the south? The number for March 23d is at-hand. There is an account in it of the equipment of the New Hope mill at Fayetteville, N. C., with steam pow CT. A 1O,O0O-spinde mill is to be erected this summer at South Boston, Va. At Lock- vile, in Chatham county, N. C., Col. Carr B. N. Duke and s. T. Morgan, all million aires, are preparing to erect the largest spinning and weaving plant in the south The water power at Lockville is almost un- limited. Charlotte is to have $25O, 900 mill for the finer numbers, and new yarn mill is to be built at Lincolnton in North Caro- lima. And so on to the end of the list, and no week chronicles any addition to north ern mills.
 The American Wool and Cotton Reporter, published in Boston, by men for Boston, or or at least New England men, is all the ref utation that is needed of MT. Robert How ards silly and antiquated stories as to southern mills MT. Howard should wake up from his twenty-year nap, and take a look at the changed conditions of southern cotton manufacturing. He will find mills in North Carolina at least that spin as fine yarns as he will probably desire to see, and also mills that make nearly every grade and class of goods that are produced in this country. His Rip Van Wrinkle maps between yarns should be shortened.

 Chappell and Bab came to see me the other day-beautifullest and brightest boys in the world! They came into this news paper office and were formally introduced to various persons, the which they did not appear to fully comprehend, but which they unmistakably enjoyed. We went, the rounds of the town, the boys and their grandfather and the good Sallie, and the Murmurer, and great fun we had The boys were thrilled by the great show win dows. In one place there was an automa- ton in the form of a boy, which rolled it's eyes and seemed living thing. Bab frank ly declared that he'd like to have it, but his wish couldn't be gratified. On high stools at the soda fountains we had lemonade; elsewhere he got chewing-gum, and of good Greek obtained fruit Salle got lost, but the boys were so interested in the sights and the noises of the city that they didn't even miss her. They asked all sorts of questions and received all sorts of an- swers And throughout our walk they were accorded the admiring attention of the passeIsby. Their beauty, their bright ness, their perfect manners called to all men to bow and all women to smile. They are life, they are love, they are beauty, truth, purity! They renew life, ennoble thought and make better all men and women who look upon their gladsome faces. They remind us that in the divine plan there is no death. Youth renews it. self as the flowers are re-created; and of such as Chappell and Bab Is the Kingdom of Heaven. THE MURMURER.
