Not a Welcome Addition.

A couple of tourists who were

districts of the South had ridden
many miles when they came to a
small log cabin, out of which child.

The cowardliness of sharks is we'll
known among men who have been
much to sea in southern waters infested
by man eaters. The fiercest shark will
get out of the sea way in a very great
hurry if the swimmer, noticing it's ap-
proach, sets up noisy splashing. A
shark is in deadly fear of any sort of
living thing that splashes in the water.
Among the south sea islands the ma
tives never go sea bathing alone, but
always in parties of half dozen or so
in order that they may make the great
est hubbub in the water, and thus scare
the sharks away. Once in awhile too
venturesome swimmer among these ma
tives foolishly detaches himself from
his swimming party and momentarily
forgets to keep up his splashing. Then
there is a swish. and the man eater
comes up beneath him like flash and
gobbles him.

Birds That Are Cannibals.

One fine days batch of tiny para
keets from a neighboring island ar
rived, and / congratulated myself on
having at last acquired some amiable
members of my bird community. Such
gentle creatures were never seen. With
their pale green plumage and the little
gray-hooded hads which easily ex-
planned their name of "capuchin," they
made themselves quite happy in one of
the many domes or cupolas of the Arab
cage. In few days, however, mystic
rious ailment broke out among all the
other birds. Nearly every other bird
seemed suddenly to prefer going about
on one leg. At last it dawned on me
that many of the canaries had actually
only one leg An hours careful watch
ing showed me parrakeet siding up to
a canary, and, after feigning to be deep
ly absorbed in it's own toilet, preening
each gay wing feather most carefully,
the little wretch would give sudden
swift nip at the slender leg Of its
neighbor, and absolutely bit it off then
and there. Of course, I Immediately
turned the capuchins out of the cage
with much obloquy, but too late to save
several Of my poor little pets from a
one-leoged existence

the municipal assembly; twenty-eight
members of the house of delegates,
which is the lower house, and four
school directors were elected here yes

Kansas City, Kan. April 5.-The re-
suit of the election in this city is largely
in doubt, but the indications are that
Mayor Marshman, the Republican can
didate, has been defeated. The Repub-
licans will still control the council.
Topeka, Kan, April 5.-The elections
held throughout the state were very
quiet; partisan lines were not sharply
drawn and local Independent issues pre-
dominated. Specials to The Capital from
fifty small towns, while showing Re-
publican victory in most cases, en-
phasize the condition stated. In Topeka
the entire Republican ticket is elected
by 2,OC0 majority.
Colorado Springs, Colo, April 5-Dr.
John r. Robinson, Republican candidate
for mayor has been elected over the
fusion candidate.
Lincoln Neb., April 5.--H. J. Winnett,

from the 6S precincts of Toledo show
that Mayor Jones has received a plu-
rality of 1880, and a majority over both

publicans trontrol of nearly all the city

Cincinnati, April 4.-The elections in
Ohio yesterday were generally for mu-
nicipal and township officers. At Gin.
cinnati the Republicans have plurality
of 1000, and the present Democratic
mayor was elected two years ago by
almost as large a plurality. At Dayton
the Democrats made municipal gains,
but the Republicans gained in the
township, which seems to be the case
throughout the state. What is known
as the Western Reserve maintains it's
usual Republican majoriries, with some
gains over those of former April cleo
tions, notably at Youngstown, Warren,
CaGiz, Delaware and other cities in
northeastern Ohio. In the smaller
cities as we'll as in the rural districts
the Republicans claim gains. notably in
Chillicothe. At Hamilton the Demo-
Gratis maintained their majorities, also
at Lima, Newark, Circleville, Upper
Sandusky, Wapakoneta, Millersburg

Of the Republican ticket. including city
treasurer, police judge, police inspector
Justice and four members of the school
council elected at large, will have sub
stantial pluralities. The Republicans
will control the city council. McKis-
sons defeat was due to the detection
of Republicans who voted against him
because of his refusal to vote for his
party during the contest before tbs
legislature a year ago last winter.

Manila, April 5.-The proclamation of
the Philippine commission to the ma

these pure aims and purposes Of the
American government and people have
been misinterpreteted to some Of the in
consequence the friendly American

why these hostilities? What do the best

Stands Against Knighthood.

There is only one country in Europe

and that is Switzerland, where, strange
to relate, the aristocratic idea is far
more potent than in any monarchial
country
q For who. eas i'll Germany. England.
and, in fact, everywhere in the old
world, the monarch, or the head of the
state. has it within his power to raise
the humblest born of his fellow citizens
to rank so high as to give them the
pass over members of the old aristoc-
racy, in Switzerland all the nobility is
exclusively inherited from ancestors Of
hundreds of years ago, when Switzer-
land was still subject to the Emperors
of Germany, the republic never having
conferred any titles or orders.
1t IS, therefore. quite just that the
Swiss should allude to their mobiles as
'.patricians," and there is nothing
prouder, more arrogant, and more ex-
elusive than the patricians of Berne.
They never render themselves guilty of
any mesalliance, and their purity of
